"a ifotK? / SPORTS BRIEFS I.N" DETAIL' By BOBBY T E R RE L L The closing down of the baseball season may have been a blow to the face to Sylva sports fans on cne hand, but on the other it rhay have been a Godsend. With the dread polip spreading throughout the country it is better that large crowds be avoided as much as pos sible and closing down the ball games is one way to help. However, we will not be short on sports news for our readers with the Olympic games in progress, several championship fights loom ing soon, and- opening football drills cnly a little better than a week off. Coach Barnwell still plans to open up on the 16th if polio gets no worse, but his prac tices may be held only for boys over 16. Other towns in Western North Carolina are opening up now with limited ages out for drills.
