Susan Jolly hit for 18 points in the first half Owen led 19 to 13. Coach Frank Watkins in serted his second and third string in the last two quarters and at the end of the third quarter it was 44 to 22. Emilie Davidson socred 5 points in the third quarter and McFct, Singleton and Robinson also hit in the last half. Watkins had this to say: “We had a good first half, sluggish 2nd half and we fouled too much (22). The score wasn’t balan ced—we played good defense— the second team played a fair ball game and got experience. “I was glad to get scoring out of Davidson and Singleton. Ihe girls were prbobaly more concerned with the snow out of doors. An average game warranted an e,xtra lenvthy practice.” League Tie Clinched Ramettes Go Down As Warlassies Play Well The day off because of snow in other places must have helped Owen’s Warlassies as they convincingly defeated the T.C. Roberson Ramettes last Friday in their gymn 45 to 32. Susan Jolly made a basket and two free throws and T.C. Roberson tied 4-4. Jolly scored another basket to put Owen ahead to stay the rest of the evening. Cindy Nache and Cathy McMurray also scored field goals to make it 10-7 favor Warlassies. In the second quarter Nache made her second basket, followed by two baskets by Emilie Davidson, two free throws by Mary Hazlett, a field goal by McMurray, one by Jolly and a free throw by Nache, and as the half ended McMurray sunk a basket to put the Warlassies out in front 25 to 15. The Warlassies made nine in the third quarter on a free throw by Jolly, a basket by Hazlett, and Emilie Davidson scored the last six points on two buckets and two free throws. The score was 34-22 Warlassies. In the final quarter the Warlassies made 11 points on 2 baskets by Jolly as well as a free throw and baskets by Hazlett, McMurray and Yolanda Scott. Owen hit on 56 per cent of their free throws. Defense was great. Coach Frank Watkins said: “The best game of the year, our defense was tremendous holding Pless and Crandall to 21 points between them. Pless has been scoring 16 points a game. “Cindy Nache and Emilie Davidson had 15 between them to add to our scoring punch. If they continue to score this way we should have a good tourna ment. “This win makes us 8-1 in the Conference and we can do no worse than tie for the Con ference championship. Hen dersonville is our next and last conference game on next Friday,” said Watkins. Chamber Chatter By ED WEBER Executive Secretary, Chamber of Commerce IF YOU GOOF ...and forget the wife this Monday, which is Valentine’s Day, make it up to her on Tuesday by taking her to the Chamber’s Lucheon at the Monte Vista. WE ARE EM TOUCH ...with our various state offices on two local projects. One is the marking of Samuel Davidson’s grave site as a state historical site. The other is the ascertaining of state funding for an Outdoor Drama. AGAIN—THE NEED TO DO IT TOGETHER One of the major topics discussed at the recent Western North Caarolina Associated Communiiteis (WNCAC) was the fact that there are more agencies, groups etc., at all levels, getting on the “Environmental” bandwagon than you can count. They are springing up every day in some sort of shape in all possible areas. It is “the thing of our time. But, again, like so many fine programs and efforts fragmentation, the lack of working toghether under a master plan which truly identifies problem areas, prevents the degree of unpact which should be realized for the amounts of personnel, funds and time being independently expended here and there. WNCAC will attempt to identify all these agencies, groups etc. and then point out to officials and to the people the dire need of a coordinated effort. There is always more than enough of a challenge for in dividual groups under a dynamic master plan.
