BRIEFS - IN DETAIL (By Bobby Terrell) Cullowhee Tourney Was Great Success The WCTC "Tournament of Champions" which was held in the college gym at Cullowhee last I weekend, was a great success.' Large crowds tilled the gym each I night and from all outward appear ances, were well pleased with the basketball they saw. As a whole, all the games were up to par. The teams were well selected and play ed up to standard as expected. Congrats go to Marion MacDon ald for securing such fine officials to work the tourney. Lawson Brown, Tommy Ellis, Herman Grif fin and Bob Claxton turned in the neatest job of officiating that we have ever seen in a tournament. Not one losing team could com plain that the officials were re sponsible for their defeat. Several players of the Tri-State league last year are included in the official major league rosters this season. Among them is Billy DeMars, who last year roved the infield for Asheville and clipped a neat .328 at bat. He is lip with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath letics. According to the way thipgs are shaping up at Cullowhee, Tom Young will field a football team next year that one might call a powerhouse. Several new men are looking exceptionally well in spring drills and its our guess that they will fit into the Catamount grid machine next year and spell trou ble for a certain Ralph James and several other North State coaches. Don't forget the District Table Tennis Tournament which will be held at Cullowhee April 9th and 10th. Get your entry notice and fee of one dollar in to Miss Helen M.
