Athletic director, Fritz Merrell, at the Ecusta Paper corporation,- this week releases facts and figures on the Ecusta bowling league. The Papermakers ended the season on too of the pile, with the Maintenance team in second place. The Pirates were in a close third, and the Storeroom bowlers rounded out the first division. Thanks to Ecusta, we have pics of the champions on the sports page this week, and in the next issue we’U try to pic the other runners-up. Individually, John Emory walked off with the high honors with an average of 172-7. Harvey Souther was next in line with 171-54. and Bruce Reynolds was third with 169-18. Walter Green had 167 36. and L. C. Poor’s 167-12 was good for fifth place. • • • • DIFFERENT STORY ... A look at the results in the first round of the Ecusta bowling tournament reveals that things don’t always run true to form, or true to expectations. The Bees headed the team event with a total score of 2782, which included an actual score of 2368 and a handicap of 414. The Storeroom had 2747, while Maintenance was third with 2712. Watch this column next week for more tourney re sults. • • • * SUCCESSFUL CONTEST . .. Members of the Transylvania Wild life club are highly pleased with the response in the essay contest, which they conducted in the two high schools of the county. Entries have been narrowed down to about 50, and now the wildlifers have the difficult task of selecting the best ones from Brevard and Rosman high schools. The essays are excellent . . . many of them showing an abundance of originality, and we plan to print the two winners in The Times, as well as having the authors read them over WPNF. Prizes will also be awarded. * # •, • WORTHY OF NOTE . . . Game Protector Wade Bagwell releases the box on this sports page which shows the designated trout streams in Transylvania. All fishermen are urged to glean this information carefully. Interest Mounts As Second Round Of Intramurals Draws To A Close This week finds the second round of the college bas ketball drawing to a close, and four scrappy teams will be battling it out for favored positions when tournament play begins next week. At the close of the first round, the Vets, coached by Jim Dillard, posted the best record, with three wins and no losses. They were fob lowed by “K” (2-1), “J” (1-2) and “G” (0-3) in that order. All four teams played a fast brand of heads up ball and the games ended with tight scores. The very first game of the sec ond round showed that the boys were not going to pay any atten tion to percentages when fourth placed “G” knocked off second placed “K.” 36 to 32. Curtis Cov ington, captain of the “G” five, dunked 18 points to be the leading scorer in the contest. Joe Laugh ter of “K” was second with 14. History repeated itself in the following game and “J,” largely by the efforts of Buffkin and Mann, handed the league-leading Vets their first defeat of the sea son. Parker, thus far the most consistent point getter in the tour nament, hit 14 points to lead the Vets. Although the scores were comparatively big, defensive play by both teams was good. Out standing in this department were Chester Baker and Bob McAllister, of “J,” and Dan Shawr and Bill Carter, of the Vets. When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S—adv. * ? FREE!

Again Parker was high with 19, followed by Shaw with 14. That night the up-and-coming “J” five drubbed “K”, 50-35, with Buffkin hitting 24 points from ev erywhere but the dressing room. Art Thompson led the “K” outfit v ith 11, followed by Reid Lucky and Howard McIntosh with 10 each. All of these games have been hotly contested and interest among I players and students has been high. Attendance at the games is j expected to increase with the be- ] ginning of tournament play on Tuesday, March 13. The tournament will be of the double-elimination type; that is, a team is not out of the running un til it has lost two games; then it falls into a lower bracket and has a chance of winning the consola tion tilt to be played on the night of the finals. The tournament will end Friday, March 16, unless an upset forces another game to de termine the champs.

PEP TALK Coming upon a football which the farmer’s son had brought back from school, the rooster promptly called the hens around him. “Now, ladies,” he said diplomat ically, “I don’t want to appear un grateful, or raise any unnecessary fuss, but I do want you to see what is being done in other yards.” Diamond Men Are Limbering Up Coach Bob Andrews has an- j nounced that baseball practice will j officially begin around March 19. i Limbering-up-exercises will start as soon as the weather will permit. Bob Peele, Tommy Caldwell, and Jim Barker, infielders; Harold Tol bert, outfielder; and Ben Steele j and Willard Buffkin, pitchers, are ' six of the men who were on last j year’s squad that will don flannels ! for Brevard this year. Some prospects for this year’s squad are Mack Lassiter, Clinton Tutterow, Clarence Bljrth*, Joe Hipps, and Howard McIntosh, in fields; Harold Parker, Bobo Mak in, and Jim Dillard, outfielders; j Wildlife Club To Get Thousands Of Fingerlings For Local Streams More Than 50 Essays Being Graded In Contest; FFA Boys Are Heard Members of the Transylvania Wildlife club are busy getting rea dy to distribute thousands of fin gerlings in the streams of the county in the immediate future, and Goode Loftis, chairman of the local committee, will meet with representatives of the North Caro lina Wildlife Resources commis and Raymond Underwood and Mack Armstrong, pitchers. Coach Andrews has not released the dates of the games, but he has announced the scheduling of two games with each of the following teams: Mars Hill, Spartanburg, North Greenville, Gardner-Webb, Ecusta, and Enka. Stressing the fact that the base ball roster has not been complet ed, Coach Andrews urges all men interested in this sport to show up for practice on March 19. sion this week to work out arrange ments. Plans for securing rearing boxes were discussed at the last regular meeting of the club over the city hall and Lloyd Burh^ns, the vice president, presided. Highlighting the meeting were two talks by local FFA members. Bill Tinsley spoke on “Timber of Future Generations” and Zeb Os borne talked on “Green Pastures.” The essay contest of the wildlife club, which has been conducted in the two high schools of Transylva nia, was also discussed at the meeting and it was declared an overwhelming success. Some 50 essays were selected from Brevard and Rosman, and the members of the club are now busy trying to determine the winner in each school. They will be an nounced in the near future, as well as the prizes, which will be award ed. Bill and Albert Lyday have been in charge of the essay con test.
