There Is a strong possibility that a prep school may claim the basketball championship of the Blue Ridge Conference for the first time In history when the loop's annual tournament is played at Hendersonville on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Asheville School Blues coached by Hop Arbogast, are the prep quint determined to end the hardwood domination that has been exercised by the high school of the conference. i f They were runners-up last year, and with virtually the same team back they have compiled the great est schoolboy record in all West ern Carolina this season. The combination of Tommy Shores and Dick Martin at for-1 wards, Dave Clovis at center and ; Larry Bernstein and E. C. Smith at guards, has won 19 out of 20 games. Their only loss was at the hands of the Lenoir-Rhyne college freshmen after a string of 17 con secutive victories. The chief dissenters to Asheville School's bid for the conference crown will be Ted Carter's Hen dersonville Bearcats, who have held the laurels for the past three years and don't Intend to relin quish them without a struggle. Sparkled by Tommy Smith and Bobby Fleming, the Bearcats have also had a great season and they will have the advantage of playing on thei. home court. The Blues and the Bearcats have not met this year, but a round about comparison can be made via Canton's Black Bears. The Bearcats and the Black Bears have broken even in a pair of games, while the Blues edged the Black Bears in both their games by mar-points. Of course, Buck Barkby's Canton quint and Carl Ratcliffe's Waynes ville Mountaineers have their own ideas about who will wear the con ference crown when the smoke of the finals clears away next Wed nesday night. Built around Canton's Bobby Moore and WaynesvUle's Bill Sut ton, these two teams also have ex cellent records for the season and either is capable of knocking off the best of the schoolboy quints when they are clicking. Asheville School appears to have the best of the breaks in the pair ings for the tournament. They should have smooth sailing into the finals, for tho chief competi tion in their bracket will come from Christ School and they have already beaten the Greenies very handily twice this season. The other bracket however, stacks up as a battle royal Hender sonville, Canton, Waynesville and Wallace Hyde's darkhorse Mars Hill quint will be staging a cut throat feud for the other finals berth. This year the tournament car ries double honors in the boy's division. The top ranking high school team will automatically ad vance to the Class AA state cham pionship playoff at Spindalc. In the girls' division all indica tions peint to a two team struggle for the 1951 title.' Six reams are entered, but Waynesville and Mars Hill have been head and shoulders above the field all season and should meet in the finals. Both sextets possess a pair of deadly sharpshooters Marjorie Cogdill and Hazel Farmer for Waynesville, and Carol Ponder and Toledo Whitt for Mars Hill. Waynesville has been barely able to edge Mars Hill in a pair of regular season games, by one point and four points. So, if they hook up again in the tourney finals it should be an all-out thriller. Play begins on the Hender sonville High School gym floor to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. First round play will send the Brevard and Tryon boys against one another at 3 o'clock; the Can ton and Brevard girls clash at 4 o'clock; Asheville School and Ben Lippen boys meet at 5 o'clock; Canton and Waynesville boys meet at 6 o'clock; Hendersonville's boys meet the Mars Hill boys at 8 o'clock; and at 9 o'clock the Christ School boys meet the winners of the Brevard-Tryon game.

The tourists who travel to West ern North Carolina to glory in its natural beauty: the Stale Wildlife Resources Commission, sportsmen, nature lovers and apparently everybody else except a few moun tain filling station operators con- tend the bill should pass. Unfortunately for the bears,-the filling station operators seem to have the bill as tightly tied as they have their animals. Mrs. J. L. von Glahn, a Raleigh woman who has made a career of fighting W the rights of bears, sea turtles, birds and the like, yester day said she had high hopes that the Legislature would give the measure a telling vote of approval. She said she could not believe North Carolinians would tolerate the treatment of the bears If they knew the facts. At a hearing last week, the Senate Wildlife He sources Committee heard similar arguments from Director Clyde Patton of the Wildlife Resources Commission and other public of ficers. Patton told the Committee the Commission and he were opposed to keeping any wild animals or wild bird in captivity. He ex plained the practice amounts to setting a bounty on the head of bears, other animals and birds, and weakens the entire structure of wildlife protection. He urged the committee to give a favorable re port to the bill and permit Chapter 113, Article 7, to be amended. If passed, the bill Would make it unlawful for "any person to keep any wild animals or wild birds in captivity for public exhibition in connection with any business and for the purpose of attracting trade. State Forester, W. K. Beichler, who stressed he spoke not as a State official but as a North Caro linian, agreed with Patton. He said, "I have seen many cases of wild animals and birds confined to attract trade in the mountain sec tion. I'm against it." Mrs von Glahn, chairman of the cruelty investigation committee of the SPCA, said she had received conyilaints from people through out the nation protesting the chain ing of wild bears. "I have, since 1938, when the chapter was organized, received letters from as far away as Cali fornia, protesting the sight of these wild animals and birds, chained and confined in . , , . . . filthy condition, many with no protection from weather. "These people protest that when they have been invited to come to North Carolina to see the beauti ful scenery, their impression is not enhanced by the sight of animals suffering." She cited two complaints: A Cali fornian's letter; "In the hot sun, in a small cage, a black bear was ; confined, nearby was a crow In a cage not more than two feet square. In still another cage, not much larger, was a raccoon. The water supply for each animal was filthy and inadequate. All these animals seemed poorly cared for." A West Virginian's letter, passed to Mrs. von Glahn through the Secretary of the Interior: "In front of a store is a young bear chained to a stake. It paces frantically and constantly, and Is one of the most pitiful sights I have ever seen. I was informed that every day, re gardless of the weather, even on the hottest days in the summer, the bear stands chained to this stake constantly pacing. A large number of people 'with; whom I talked expressed concern that such a situation be allowed to exist and remarked that It is particularly bad right next to a place like the Smoky Mountains National Park, where It Is brought to the atten tion of every visitor that wild life is protected." A columnist for the Chattanooga, Tenn, Times, was also disgusted. After visiting the pageant, "Unto These Hills," last September, Al fred Mynders returned to the paper and wrote: "There is a great thrI'l in seeing these bears (that roam the moun tain area) in the rough. It is no thrill at all, however, in seeing the bears which are kept in crates at some of the filling stations on the North Carolina side. They beat themselves against the wiring, suf fering agonies in cramped quarters C. D.
