C. — One of the nicest things about Major League baseball is spring train ing, and the trip to Florida or another warm state, at the end of a cold winter. The sun is just beginning to warm the days, and the trip lengthens the year’s good weather for ball players. There is tension among youngsters trying to make the dub, but for the established star who isn’t worried about making the lineup, training can be quite pleasant. He is getting in shape, exercising in the sun, eating well and sleeping enough —or should be. This makes for a healthy body and mind, and good living. For the sports writer, it is also a good assignment. One wears a sports shirt in Febru ary or March, drinks in sun shine and orange juice and reads of the snowstorms back home, while watching baseball and talking it over with players and managers. One of the happiest of all camps used to be Cardinal head quarters in St. Petersburg. When Fred Hutchinson was manager, with all his easy DR. GRATIS WILLIAMS, Professor of American Literature at Appalachian State Teachers College who delivered the ad dress at the annual Dean’s Banquet honoring the dean’s list students of Lees-McRae College. His address was entitled, “Challenges to Excellent Students in Senior College and Graduate School." Talking with Dr. Williams, left, are former students of the graduate school of ASTC, Mr. and Mrs. Wil Roberts and Harry Brown. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Brown are on the English faculty at Lees-McRae College. ASTC’s Wilcox And Gray Named On NAIA Squad Appalachian seniors James Wilcox and Tony Gray have been selected to the second team All-District 36 NAIA bas ketball squad. Wilcox, the 6-0 guard from Lenoir, and Gray, the 6-5 forward from Baltimore, Md., hold 19.91 and 16.17 scor ing averages respectively for the season. In addition, be tween them they have contrib uted almost 200 assists to their fellow teammates. Their suc cess was the story of the Apps’ tremendous close-out of the sea son winning 6 of their last 7 contests and finishing second in the Carolina Conference tournament last week. charms, writers joined him and players for cheese and beer in the hotel after an exhibition game. That’s not a bad working assignment. In other camps H was the same. When Dizzy Trout was up to his antics at Lakeland, in the Detroit Tiger’s hotel, it was always amusing to go to breakfast—for Trout would of ten perform that early in the morning in the dining room. There were other camps with just as many characters and amusements. Players being ra ther free and easy, and friendly, even though national celebri ties in some cases, the copy and the company are good at in formal training camps, when the pressure is not on.

YADKIN VALLEY WILKSgBORQ, NORTH DAIRY CAROLINA w.— " < Appalachian State’s Moun taineers captured second place In the Carolina Conference bas ketball tournament last week in Lexington by downing Lenoir Rhyne 75-64, Western Carolina 65-53 before bowing to High Point 59-53 in the champion ship game. The finish was a spectacular one for the Apps who entered the tourney in fourth place in the conference standings. Playing without the services of their starting guards, the Panthers finally won a confer ence tournament, a feat they have been favored to accom plish for the past five years. Chris Lindsay fouled out of the game midway through the sec ond half, and he was followed by the High Point playmaker and the tournament’s most val uable player, Gene Littles, with 7:45 remaining in the contest.

Af ter this High Point held on to pick up their final four-point margin. The Apps pulled off a pair of surprises by defeating Lenoir Rhyne and Western Carolina to get a shot at High Point. Led by All • Tournament players James Wilcox and Tony Gray, averaging 17 and 12 points per game respectively in tourna ment action, the squad swept from their fourth seeded posi tion to second place.
