back by a 30-25 score, because they
certainly did not outplay the home

A Happu Easter
To All
YOUNG . HOLDS FIRST
INTRA-SQUAD TILT
AT CULLOWHEE SAT.
Coach Tom Young put his en
tire spring football squad through
an hour and a half, full length
scrimmage at Cullowhee Saturday
afternoon. Splitting the squad into
two teams, but keeping the ma
jority of last years team intact as
the Reds, Coach Young saw them
roll to a 24-0 victory over the
Whites.
Tne Big Reds, composed of Mace
Brown and Speck Everhart at ends.
Dan Robinson and Buffalo Hum
phries at tackles. Art Byrd and
Clark Pennell at guards, Hugh
Constance at center and Jack Ar
lington, Joe Hunt. Wade Bryant
and A1 Caperilla in the backfield,
showed signs of being the combi
nation that Young has been look
ing for since he came to Cullowhee.
The White team, although un
able to score, drove deep into Red
territory several times, with Ralph
I McConnell and Hugh (Pee Wee)
i Hamilton carrying the pigskin with
I lots of zip. The line play of Harry
Jaynes and Bill Powell was out
standing for the Whites.
The passing game showed a lot
| of improvement with Hamilton and
Caperilla hitting receivers with
regularity.
The running attack was not up
to par vv'ith the two big lines bat
tling it out on about even terms.
Wade Bryant, sophomore wing
-back, showed definite promise of
being a back to figure heavily in
the Cat attack next fall.
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.
Hartshorn, Manager of the Dis
trict Table Tennis Tournament,

your chancc to compete in the Na
tionals in Chicago April 24. Some
body's going to win it, and that's
for sure.

38-23 victory over Emma to cap
ture first place in the annual
"Tournament of Champioi^s" here
tonight. The Cullowhee boys j
placed third in the tourney with j
a 39-23 consolation victory over
Dallas.
The Elizabethtown height paid
off again as they used it to ad
vantage over the smaller Emma
hoys. Despite the fact that they
were the underdogs .the Emma
fellows put up one of the gamest
fights .witnesses in the tourney as
they were trailing only three points
at halftime, 19-16. But they could
not handle the tall boys from the
coast and were trailing, 38-23, at
the final whi.-'le.
The Cu.' -\vhee boys showed
bursts of p wer and speed through
out the game as they rolled over
Dallas, 3Lf-l!3, in the consolation
game. H ..and and Edison, Dal
las' two high scoring forwards,
were held to eight points between
them as I'^e Olson's boyg tightened
the defen>e on the Gaston Corunty
champs. The first half was tit
for-tai ^11 the way. Cullowhee
jumped into the lead when Smith
from Dallas fouled Darrell Tilley
in the last second of the first half
and Tilley made good his free toss
for a 14 to 13 lead. From there
on out Cullowhee poured on the
steam and moved out front.

FIRST ROUND OF
CULLOWHEE TOURNEY
TELLS LEADERS
CULLOWHEE, March 18?The
first round of the annual "Tourna
ment of Champions" moved
through the first round here to
night with Cullowhee, Emma,
Elizabethtown, and Dallas win
ning to advance to the semi-finals
tomorrow night.
In the first game of the evening
the Cullowhee boys completely
outclassed Biltmore high 53-18.
The Biltmore team just didn't have
it. They couldn't bother Cullo
whee's fast break and couldn't
break their zone defense. The
Cullowhee scoring was evenly dis
tributed with Tilley and Cole tops
with nine points each.
In the second game, the favored
Elizabethtown boys from the
I coast whipped the Bryson City
aggregation, 49-29. Elizabethtown,
sporting the tallest team in the
tourney, started off slowly, but
gradually added to the score until
the last quarter and by then it was
too late. Britt led the winners
with 17 points.
The Sylva Hurricanes were
bumped off by a fighting little
Emma team from Bumcombe
county, 30-22. The Emma boys
outfought Sylva throughout the
first three quarters, and Sylva
like Bryson, came back too late.
Emma couldn't miss and Sylva
couldn't hit in the first three quar
ters. Rhash led the winners with
17 points and Cunningham was
high for the losers with 10.
In what was the best game of
the evening, the Dallas boys, Gas
ton- county champions, edged the
Jliawassee ,Dam boys, 37-36, on
Holland's field goal with 40 sec
onds remaining in the game. Hia
wassee had led throughout, until
Dallas pulled up during the last
quarter. Holland with 18 and
Edison with 17 scored every one
of Dallas' poinfs but two.
