The small Sylva gym isn't ex- (
pected to handle half the crowd ^
which will turn out for the battle, (
so it's first come, first served, and
every man for himself. ,
Cullowhee's boys, unbeaten in '
17 games up to Tuesday night, .
are ruled the favorites in the j
male contest. The girls* game is
considered a toss-up despite the
fact that Sylva holds a previous
win over the Cuiiownee crew.
The Cullowhee girls have improved
considerably since that first
meeting. Only last week they
knocked off the strong Murphy
sextet, a doing that speaks for itself.
The Sylva girls aren't to be
counted out, however. Not as long
as their high-scoring trio is around.
Mary Worley, Patsy Parris
and Louise West , usually are good
for a high total of points.
The Cullowhee girls also have
been rolling up the score of late.
Led by Mary Bell Taylor's sharp
eye for the basket, Cullowhee is

On Saturday afternoon, Februry

wrestling team tied the Catamount
'restlers 16 to 16 in a disputed

jnekeeper blowing his whistle
efore the 121 pound match was
ver. It is the opinion of the Cul- |
jwhee boys that Wood had his 9
lan pinned, but the final official "1
utcome was a decision in which /ood
was on the short end;
It was a hard fought meet from
cginning to end with thrills ga- J!
