Received a card from one of
our summer members. Jot Ed
mondson. He is basking in the
sunshine of New Orleans and
enjoying some golf on a course
beside the Gulf of Mexico. To
quote his cud, "Pearl it having
? picnic here, I'm attending!"
Good to hear from the "Laxton
Open Champion."
The match Sunday at Hickory
completes the major activities
of the Boone Golf Club for the
1B63 season, and with snow on
the ground and more coming, it
looks as if golf on the local
scene may be over until spring.
With local players looking for
othar courses to play during
the coming months, activity will
pick up at courses down the
mountain such as Morganton,
Hickory, Wilkesboro and Tri
County. Next winter, a new
course at Lenoir will be ready
for play with Bent grass greens
and this will be welcome news
to our players who are used to
this type of grass on the greens.
Comment On Sports
By PETE FRITCiriE
Washaniaton, D. C. ? This is
the time of year sports writers
start voting, talking and writing
about the greatest feats of year.
Looking over all the greats on the
U. S. sports scene, the biggest
item must be the sweep at the
New York Yankees in four
straight games by the Los An
geles Dodgers in the World Se
ries.
This wciuM have been big sports
news if the Dodgers had merely
won. But they soared an
kpockout. Yet it would not fee
right to say the Dodgens bneesed
through the Yankees.
They didn't. Every game plac
ed, of the tour, was respectable.
The Yankees could have mn any
tene of them 'with one big inning
kite in the game. They were con
sistently smothered with great
pitching.
The story of this Series was
pitching end it 1b the old story
in baseball. The Yankees' Whitey
Ford is 43 cool under the guns
as anyone. He didn't have the
fume edge in the first game,
though, to boat Sandy Koufax.
What many fans land some
sports writers missed was the
fact that Purines iand Drysdate
pitched as well or better than
Koufax. Sandy was mere spec
tacular. He deserved the honors
tor the overall performance of
the year. But kt the Series, Drys
tiaJe didn't a'iqnr ? run and Pad
res departed in the ntrfh inning
of the second game with the
Yankees at mn
That was sunpfcr coo goad,

Mountaineers To Be
Host To Indians
The Appalachian Mountain
eers open the conference home
season here Saturday evening
when they host the Indians of
Newberry College.
Game time Is 8, following a
contest between the Appalach
ian junior varsity and King
College at 6.
The Saturday action will be
the second conference battle
for the Mountaineers. Tonight
(Thursday) the cagers journey
to Pfeiffer College for the
opening of conference action.
Last Tuesday Appalachian
opened the season with Mars
Hill College in a non-confer
ence scrap.
Appalachian is expected to
offer fans pretty much the same
team that finished the season
a year ago. Although more ex
perienced, the Mountaineers
sti# suffer from the lack of the
effective big man in the center
position. Tony Gray had been
expected to be the starting
center this season but a broken
foot bone will keep him side
lined until after Christmas.
Lanky John Dobbs and Joe
Hailey are expected to share
the duties until Gray returns.
Forwards this season are
Wayne Duncan and Jim Rich
ardson, two top performers
from last season. Coach Bob
Light can select from a host of
fine guards, including Doug
Wall, Jerry Francis, Jack Lyt
ton, and Jimmy Goff.
Newberry, under new coach
Niel Gordon, it in a rebuilding
period and has a flock of new
players to go with several vet
eran performers. Phil Mus
grave and David Hawk were
outstanding players last season
and are expected to be two of
the finest in the league. Coach
Gordon may be remembered as
the great AU-American at Fur
man a few years ago, and may
be counted upon to inject his
spirit and drive into his new
team.
Van Orden On
All-State Team
Greg Van Orden, star Appa
lachian guard, was recently
named to the All-State team of
the Greensboro Daily News,
along with teammate Larry
Hand. Van Orden had previ
ously been honored by being
selected to the Carolinas Con
ference All-Conference team
and to both offensive and de
fensive units of the NAIA All
District team.

Health and Beauty
Today's top nutritionists and
mental hygieniats have explod
ed the myth of the "jolly fat
man." They poijil to overweight
as one of the greatest health
problems in the country. They
tell us that if we want to en
joy good health in later years,
we must wateh the amount and
kinds of food we eat; beginning
in childhood and continuing
during our entire life.
Doctors stress a variety of
common-sense rules that call
for the avoidance of stresses,
strains, tensions and fatigue.
They emphasise the need for
moderation and a philosophic
adjustment to life.
There have teen successful
experiments by endocrinolog
ists to indicate the possibility
that the use of hormones may
slow down the process of aging.
Right now the best thing you
can do is to have periodic com
plete medical examinations to
cut down on the ailments which
hasten the degenerative pro
cess.
All indicatons are that fu
ture advances in lengthening
the life span will come not only
from medication, but from edu
cation. Learn all you can about
taking goed care of your mind
and body.
There have already been
great gains in the field of hu
man longevity. The outstanding
increase has been the result of
the success in reducing mortal
ity rates of infants and child
ren. The new miracle drugs are
enabling many people in their
early and middle yean to sur
vive to later years. Advances in
life expectancy in the later
years have been small.
Old ace is the time of chron
ic diseases, which cause over
a million deaths annually. Life
Mtpectancy ia poor among low
uiro CM groups. Better housing
for many of our oldsters would
?dd to life expectancy.
