Wofford To Meet
The highlight attraction of Pres
byterian College’s basketball slate
to date w ill be staged here Saturday
night when Wofford invades for a
.crucial Little Four battle.
On the outcome of this game may
hinge the championship ufjjliis fast
small-college league. The Terriers
earlier handl'd PC its lone Little
Four defeat, whereas the Hosemen
have whipped both Newberry and
Erskine in the first of two meetings
each with these other two conten
ders.
If Presbyterian can defeat Wof
ford Saturday night and then re
peat its success against the oilier
two Little Four opponents, the Blue
Hose will emerges as undisputed
champions. '
Presbyterian cagers broke even
during the past week. They raced
over Erskine, 75-65, in an impor
tant game* last Thursday night, but
dropped by a 62-80 margin to the
powerful Belmont Abbey squad on
Tuesday evening.
