Cullowhee, Jan. 10. ? The West
ern Carolina Catamounts evened
things up with the Lenoir-Rhyne
Bears tonight by taking a thrilling
53-46 decision from them for the
Cats' sixth win against one defeat.
The Catamounts came frdfh be
hind after trailing most of the
game and gave the fans a thrill for
their money by forging ahead with
three minutes to go and staying out
front to win.
Clyde Pressley, for the second
time in three home games, gave the
fans a photo finish. With the game
tied at 42-42 on the Catamounts'
free throw by Veo Rhodes and
three minutes to go, Pressley came
into the game, broke the tie with
a tree throw and proceeded to hit
eight of the Cats' la?? 11 points
and put the game on ice for his
mates.
The Bears started with a b$ng
and rolled up an early 14-3 lead
before Coach "Tuck" "McConnell's
big guns opened up. Then the ead
changed hands six times before the
Cats broke ahead in the last and
went on to win.
The scoring honors went to Tate
of Western Carolina with 12 points,
while Pressley and Veo Rhodes of
the Catamounts and Billy Wells of
the Bears each dropped in 10.
Wels, the former Bethel high
star, played a remarkably steady
game both offensively and defen
sively. It could be that the turn
ing point came in tonight's game
when Wells fouled out with the
Bears ahead 37-35 and about ten
minutes to go.
