W.C.C.-Mitchell
Monday night, Feb. 5, the Cou
gars traveled to Statesville to
meet Mitchell College and to de
feat them by a score of 85-76.
The first ten minutes were a
little rugged. First one team
would pull ahead, then the other.
With about nine minutes to go
in the first half the Cougars
went ahead to stay.
For the first ten minutes of
the second half, the Cougars
operated the way every coach
dreams of having a team operate.
The Cougars scored practically
everytime they got the ball during
that time. They literally tore
Mitchell’s zone defense apart.
Ronnie Triplett and Tom Guy
lead the attack. Tom Guy poured
in 27 points. Ronnie Triplette
followed with 16. Ed Snyder rack
ed up 15, Steve Eller had 13,
three of Steve’s points came on an
amazing three point play. Steve
went up for an under-hand lay
up and was hit hard but managed
to get the ball in the goal and then
easily rank the goal shot.
Carl Hudson had 10 points to his
credit. Carl did a good job on
defense as well as on offense.
Steve Cardwell who got in foul
trouble early in the game had 2
points. Steve Hampton also had
two points.
At one point near the end of
the game the Cougars had a 26
point lead, but the boys got into
a little fouling trouble and Mit
chell managed to hit enough of the
foul shots to make the game look
closer than it was. In the last
ten minutes of the game Mitchell
did not hit over 4 field goals.
This speaks wellfor the Cougar’s
defensive effort. The score
speaks for their offensive effort.

W.C.C.—Appalachian
In a hard fought contest the
Cougars were edged by Appala
chian’s freshman team by a score
of 68-65 on Feb. 3. It was nip
and tug battle all the way. Several
times the Cougars tied the score
and pulled within one to two points
of Appalachian. Though the Cou
gars lost they were never out
fought.
The Cougars gave an all out
team effort, both offensively and
defensively. Several times Ap
palachian attempted to prevent
the Cougars from getting the ball
across midcourt. Each attempt
failed as a result of quick think
ing and action by the Cougars
who had already set up in their
various offensive positions.
In scoring, the Cougars were
led by Tom Guy who racked up
21 points. Carl Hudson followed
with 11, Steve Eller and Ron
nie Triplett had 9 each. Steve
Cardwell ended with 8, and Ed
Snyder had 7.
It was one of those games where
D. S. Mayes, Academic Dean
requests that all students plan
ning to attend summer school,
particularly sophomores, come
by his office and tell him what
courses they wish to take. The
faculty is trying to make avail
able all the courses needed in
the summer quarter.
the team that got the breaks
wins. With a 3 point lead and pos
session of the ball, Appalachian
froze the ball in the waning sec
onds.

Go Students Go!
Go? Go where? Go to the bas
ketball games that’s where. This
is our college, and the basket
ball team is a partof our college.
The basketball team needs and
deserves the support of every
student, and they do not have it.
Feb. 5 at the game with Mitchell
College, there were not over six
students from WCC there. It was
an away game, but the home
grams do not draw the support
should.
Some people may think that
supporting a team does not have
anything to do with the way a
team plays, but they are wrong.
When a team comes out on the
court and sees the stands half
empty or worse, it makes them
wonder what is the use of spend
ing two to three hours or more
practicing everyday if no one
cares. Why should they? If we
do not support them why should
they beat their brains out trying
to have a team that the college
can be proud of?

Ask Any Student
(Continued from Page 2)
class, they expect to get some
thing in return for their time,
but do they when a teacher con
stantly reads. Maybe teachers
read because they like to read
their lectures rather than learn
them. Or maybe they think their
voice is better suited to reading.
Some teachers read to their stu
dents just to take up time be
cause the lecture did not take the
full hour, and what would be said
if the class was let out early?
Some teachers during the course
of time before class find some
interesting fact that will be read
to the class. It may or may not
pertain to the material to be gone
over in class--but that makes no
difference; it will be read any
way. This little bit of information
may be interesting to the teacher,
but it is the most boring thing
the student has ever sat through.
Time is most definitely wasted
and the material that should be
covered in class is not.
If students sit through this type
of class a few times, they begin
to cut class with the attitude
taken that if the teacher is not
interested in the material to be
studied, why should the student
bother coming to class.
These types of teachers exist
at Wilkes Community College—
ask any student.
