team this season. With 22 letter-
men returning to the Wildcat
Squad, the well-balanced Wild
eats easily captured its first game
of the season although tt will no
count in Appalachian Conference
standings since the second meet
ing of the two teams late in the
Season will be the conference

i Let it be said, however, that
. despite the advantage In experi
