Bulldogs Battle Bears In Big One Tonight
The Atlantic Christian College
basketball team will struggle to
night to pick up its first North
State Conference cage win of the
season.
Hurting from two straight con
ference setbacks at the hands of
Catawba and High Point, the Bull
dogs will go all out tonight in an
effort to turn back Lenoir Rhyne’s
Bears in the ACC gym at 8 p. m.
The locals need the victory bad
ly to get them back in the North
State Conference race. If the Bull
dogs can upset Lenoir Rhyne then
brighter things are ahead.
“I think most of our miseries
can be attributed to inexperience,”
Coach Jack McComas said in High
Point Saturday night after the
Bulldogs dropped an eight point
heart breaker to the Panthers. “We
'are having to coach this team en
tirely different from last year’s or
the year before or even the year
before that,” the ACC coach said.
“All these boys are new except
Williams, Whaley and Phares. Last
year we could tell our boys we
wanted them to do certain things
and they knew what we were talk
ing about. If our instructions did
not quite carry out successfully
when a team suddenly changed its
defense then our boys adjusted to
it because they were experienced
enough to think for themselves out
on the court.” This year it is dif
ferent. When we call time out in a
game now in order to change the
offense, in one minute I have to
have individual conferences with
each player to tell him exactly
what to do, how to move, when to
cut, when to pass off, and the
many other things he needs to
know that he doesn’t know be
cause he is inexperienced.”
Rivals Impressed With Team
Nearly every coach that ACC
has played against this year has
been impressed with the ACC per
sonnel. “It will take a few games
for your team to jell,” Virgil
Yow, the High Point coach said
Saturday night. “Eve-n at that we
underestimated your strength and
you almost beat us. I think it will
be a different story after the
Christmas holidays. We will ex
pect a tough battle when we come
to Wilson to play you on January
25.”
Lenoir Rhyne comes into the
ACC gym tonight without its big
gun of recent years, big Raeford
WeUs. However, the Bears have
an experienced crew and it will re
quire maximum effort for the Bull
dogs to win.
Meanwhile, Darwin Williams,
ACC’s little starting guard from
Kinston, has assumed a scoring
leadership role for ACC. Williams,
in the first five games of the sea
son, pumped in 79 points for an
average of 15.8 per game. Jim Hol
land is second in scoring with 70
points for an average of 14.0. Third
high scorer is Don Ryan with 50
points and an average of 10 points
per game.
Reserve forward Frank Winfree
has the best shooting average on
the club. The Tampa, Fla., fresh
man has hit better than 50 percent
of his shots and although he has
seen limited action, he is the fourth
highest scorer on the club with
29 points. He has hit 12 field goals
in only 22 attempts.

The Bulldogs Bark
By Bobby Watson
Many Bulldog fans were disap
pointed in the Bulldogs. when they
met the famed Wol^’packs. They
didn’t look like the McComasmen
of past years, but the McComas
men of the past never played a
team with the reputation of State.
The Atlantic Christian boys could
n’t clock, they couldn’t put the ball
in the basket, they made a lot of
bad passes, they looked very un
organized. the rebounds didn’t
notrie their way. They just didn’t

thev were tense and expecting at
anytime to have one of Case’s tow-
r ■■•1" men cram the ball down their
throats.
Accuracy Falls Short
These are the ' same men that
hauled down 53 rebounds for State,
A.C.C. got only 24. The Bulldogs
missed some mighty easy shots,
missed nine times before they first
scored which helps account for
their low 20 per cent accuracy the
first half compared to State’s 40
per cent. Then in the second half
Coach McComas substituted liber
ally.
Impressive Show By Subs
Subs John Baker and Frank Win-
free, as well as starter Dick Knox,
all Freshmen, made an excellent
showing, leading the team in re
bounds and scoring honors.
Beaten By Wide Margin
All and all you could say A.C.C.
was beaten by a big excellent team
that was hot, tough, and ready,
when ACC was cold, a little bit
scared, and not quite ready. ACC
was defeated by a wide margin,
A IIFT FOR IIFE!

What’s been happening in the
gym between six and seven late
