I i S if lilli 'L il iMi) I] m\ \ ^ m \ \\M PAGE TWELVE THE ECHO DECEMBER, 19^’ A I il As The Basketball Season Opened First official act opening the 1947-48 basketball season for our two Eciista teairjs was the customary pre-game discussion with of ficials at the Ecusta-Hendcirsonville girls’ game Thursday night, December 11. Shown above are Sarah Avery, our captain; Referees Lyday and Bricklemeyer; and Ruth Baldwin, Hcindersonville captain. Even though the girls dropped their opening contest, they came back strong the next night to topple over Champion girls by a 20-12 margin. With a little more polishing up on their passing and shoot ing game, our team should again be among the. outstanding teams in the state. Friday night Martel Mills will offer the opposition for our teams in a doubleheader to be played on the Martel Court. More Bowling Captains! Last month’s Echo 'carried pictures of six of the bowling cap tains and here are the remaining ones. Upper left is Elmer Baker of the Pulp Mill; in the center is Tom Conley of Maintenance “A”; and upper right is Howard Schmidt of the Office “B” team. Lower left is Bob Collier of the improving Champagne Dodgers and cen ter is Charles Norlander of Research. Lower right is “Margie” Bevaque of Control. As pointed out in the last Echo, much of the success of our departmental bowling league can be attributed to the work of the captains. ELMER BAKER I TOM CONLEY HOWARD SCHMIDT BOB COLLIER CHARLES NORLANDER MARGIE BEVACQUE Cagers Look Promising Despite Defeats; Travel To Martel Mills Friday Nigl'* Boys Drop Two Opening Games By Close Margins; Girls Win One, Lose One Our basketball teams inaugurat ed another season last week end, and even though the results did not favor us all the way, it was apparent that our teams will give opponents plenty of trouble before the season is very old. On Friday night of this week, the Ecusta squad travels to Martel Mills for a doubleheader. In the opening doubleheader Thursday night, the Henderson ville girls put on a last minute sco;irg spree to beat our girls, 18- 14. On Friday night, however, it was a different story as the Cham pion girls felt the sting of defeat 20-12. Jean Whitesides paced the local lassies to victory. After playing Brevard college on even terms for three quarters Thursday night, the boys were not able to cope with numerous fresh reserves Coach Bob Andrews kept sending into the game, and the collegians stacked up their mar gin of the victory in the last pe riod. The score was 64-46. Mitch Taylor was the game’s individual star with 22 points. The 37-34 loss to the Champion boys was a heart-breaker. Going into the last quarter, our team was behind only one point, 29-28 but one or two costly passes al lowed the Champion team to dash ahead to stay. Taylor was again outstanding with 12 points, fol lowed by Pete Dockens’ 8 and Speedy Merrel’s 6. W. N. C. Bowlers Win 6th Straight Only four games out of first place, the Ecusta WNC bowlers racked up their sixth straight tri umph Tuesday night with a 3-0 win over Reed and Abee in Ashe ville. Captain Walter Straus had a fine 583 set to pace the locals. Other scores: Knuck Morris, 493; Clyde Galloway, 550; Joe La veil, 539; Chris Rogers, 533.
