Apps End Season With Catawba Sat. Appalachian State’s Moun taineers will be seeking to hojd their fourth plaee position in the Carolina Conference bas ketball standings wheti they play host to Catawba Saturday night. The game will close out the regular season play for the Mountaineers before they jour ney to the conference tourna ment in Lexington. However, the Apps will not have an easy tirtie of it as Ca tawba boasts the services of the hottest shooter in the confer ence in the person of Dwight Durante, the little 5-8 guard from Springfield, Mass. Aver aging better than 30 points per game, Durante broke a Carolina Conference scoring mark ear lier in the season when he rack ed up 58 points against West ern Carolina. This perform ance marks the young fresh man as a bigger star than Henry Logan, Western’s scoring ace. The Apps will pin their hopes of obtaining a seeded berth at Lexington on a pair of senior standouts, James Wilcox and Tony Gray. Wilcox currently leads the Mountaineers in scor ing with a 19.71 scoring aver age while Gray boasts a 16.32 mark. Should the Apps take the vic tory, they would finish out the conference race in fourth place and assure themselves a seeded berth in the conference tourna ment to be held in Lexington, February 24, 25, 26.

Over 12,000 copies of the 1966 edition will be distributed to all 50 states and over 50 for eign countries. Volleyball in the United States is a purely amateur sport with no player, coach, or offi cial receiving any money from the sport. The only source of operating income for the USVA is the profit from the Guide and Rule Book. Speaking Of Golf BT JOE MAPLES After being covered with snow for several weeks, the local course found itself cover ed with water this past Sunday. The etitire lower end was flood ed as a result of wafih rains and melting snow and by Mon day morning when the waters had receeded, a considerable amount of debris was in evi dence. We are left With a big clean-up job but otherwise lit tle damage was done. We lost about five or six feet of creek bank in front of' the fifteenth green which itself was ninety per cent underwater at one time. All of our bridges held but work will have to be done around the ends where some washing took place. We had a pretty good landslide on Fair way Drive back close to the highway on the lower side. This was the fourth time in seven years that the course has been floded- on the lower end. Hugh Hampton indicated that this was the worst flood in the valley to his knowledge since 1940. In 1947 the PGA of America started keeping year to year records of the amount of money won by all players in each of its official events whereby; now we have a record of leading money winners of this era. Leading the pack through 1965 is Arnold Palmer with, total of ficial winnings of $643,982.17. This is not to surprising con sidering Palmer’s record and the size of tournament prize money these days. In second place is Billy Casper with win nings of $471,999.17 followed by Jack Nicklaus with $415, 945.59 which is quite a feat considering the short time he has been on the tout'. The question comes to mind though, just what does this prove? These are impressive figures to be sure but does it mean that these players are greater players than the likes of Snead, Hogan and Nelson? YOU have Snead with his great record of over one hundred tolimament victories, Hogan’s fantastic record in Na tional Open and other major events, and Nelsdh who in his prime was almost unbeatable. I must contend that the modern era money winning list is no in dication of the players ability. For one good ekafhple, take ,Snead and consider the amount of money he would have won had first prizes been in the $10,000 to $20,000 range as it is today instead of $1500 to $2000 as it was when he was at his peak. With over one hund red tournament victories, he would be so far in front in the standings that it is doubtful anyone would have been able to catch up. There has to be a better way of determining the great golf ers. Times have changed. Cours es of today are much improved, our equiptment is much super ior and most of all, tournament prize money is far ahead of what it was just a few years ago. This is not to imply that Palmer, Casper and Nicklaus are not great players. Money winnings aside, their records will attest to that and the golf history books of the future will prove it even more. It just seems that a more just and equitable method could be used when trying to determine the great players of this game.

GREENE BUICK-PONTIAC, INC 1118 B- MNG 8T * *°°NB» N- ®* - Comment On Sports BY PETE FRlTCBtE Washington, D. C.—The fall of the New York Yankees Is the big baseball news of 1965 and 1066. The Yankees collapsed during the 1965 season, partly because of Injuries to key play ers—and the collapse seems to be continuing. Tony Kubek has announced he would hang up the gloves. He was a promising, 29-year old infielder with many seasons to go — had he been healthy. Though Ralph Houk had dis suaded him from quitting at the end of last season, a medical report, saying he could be perm anently injured by a shock or sudden motion, convinced him anew he must retire at once. Bobby Richardson, the second baseman who worked with Ku bek at short in many Series games, had already announced his intention to retire when the Kubek announcement came. Characteristically, Richardson changed his plans and said he would play one more year. It would be too hard on Ralph, Tony explained, for both to re tire at once, and the two star infielders talked it over and Bobby agreed to stay on during 1966. Blit even with Richardson re maining for one year, it means Appalachian’s wrestlers top ped off a perfect season last Friday night by shutting out the Knoxville YMCA 41-0. The victory was the ninth without a defeat. Yet the outcome of the sea son should offer no surprises to the followers of Gabriel’s for tunes. In eleven years of coach ing the sport, Gabriel has never lost a match. With ten years in the high school ranks, he took over the reins of the Moun taineer squad for the first time this season. In his freshman year as a college coach he mere ly continued the tradition he he will be gone at the end of this season, and for him the Yanks will have no replacement of equal value; Richardson has ldng been a clutch hitter for the team. Mickey Mantle has just been operated on, and may or may not be sound enough to put in a full season. Elston Howard, most underrated of all the Yan kees in recent years, is another question mark, having been out much of last year. Roger Ma ris, also hurt last year, should be back this season. picked up at the mountain school back when he wrestled itt an App uniform himself. The Mountie Wrestlers boast two undefeated men in their ranks: Fred Bradley and Jim Whitmer. Bradley, wrestling in the heavyweight division, has been the most outstanding win ner and pointmaker on the squad. The Danville, Va., na tive has seven pins, a forfeit, and a decision to his credit. Whitmer, a Goldsboro native, has picked up four pins, in nine contests this season. The App grapplers are look ing forward to entering several contestants in the Southern In vitational in Atlanta, Ga., the first week in March, the North Carolina AAU meet, here in Boone, the second week in March, and the NAIA national championships in Minnesota the third week in March. Quail Season Is Extended To 15th i Tommie Osborne, Wildlife Protector of Watauga County, said the Wildlife Resources Commission has extended the season on bobwhite quail from Tuesday, Feb. 15, through Sat urday, Feb. 26. Osborne said this will give Tarheel bird hunters ah extra 10 days of shooting, including two Saturdays. The Commission’s action was taken after a survey by field personnel disclosed that there is a harvestable supply of birds still available, and an extended hunting season would not en danger brood stock for pro ducing next fall’s crop of birds. Osborne added that the Com mission gave some considera tion to extending the rabbit season, but decided against this because rabbits have already be gun their breeding cycle. Bag limits and other regula tions for taking quail during the 10-day extension will be the same as during the season that would have ended Feb. 15.
