(Atlantic Christian College’s
ijiasketball Bulldogs, bolstered
ijV the knowledge that they will
jjice again the able to dunk the
Ijall next year, release an am-
ijtious 26-game schedule this
ipk that includes one tour-
pent and two NCAA op-
i^nents.
The Bulldogs, who had a
jarting lineup averaging 6-5 this
ijason, should be able to take
^^vantage of the newly liberal
j.\IA rule which lifts a four-year
jn on the dunk, a shot which
jolves carrying the ball over
Ijjerim and ramming in through
jjihoop.
The tournament is the four-
i|.am Citrus Tournament in
Lakeland, Florida, on December
4 and 5. Florida Southern and
Bethune-Cookman are already
committed to the tourney and
directors are looking at several
New York colfeges to complete
the field after one squad pulled
out,
The two NCAA foes are North
Carolina State and Rollins of
Florida, both of whom will meet
ACC in their home cities.
In addition to these games, the
Bulldogs have home-and-home

Conference and District 29
tournaments early in May.
Baseball, after collapsing for six
straight losses two weeks ago,
had recovered to a respectable 8-
9 for the season and still had
tournament hopes of its own.
But the most amazing record
of all read .32 wins and only 15
losses for all of ACC’s spring
sports after five weeks of action.
The mark included a cumulative
16-10 Conference record and a 14-
5 District standing. At the same
time last season these four
teams were struggling to break
.500 with a combined 17-24
record.
The most amazing part of that
record stood ay the second
straight win this season for
Coach Jim Corbin’s cindermen.
6-5 John Liles upped his first-
place total for the season to 13
with two of ACC’s nine wins as
the Dogs rapped St. Andrews SO
BS on April 15. Liles also picked
up ACC’s only point at Satur
day’s Davidson relays, grabbing
a fifth in the javelin.
Jim Adcox (12-^), Dan Phillips
(12-2), and Ken Rand (11-3)
continued to win for coach
Tom Parham’s Bulldog net-
ters as the tennis team
established itself as a real
contender for the District crown
it nearly won last year. The Dogs
picked up a 9-0 Conference win
over High Point and an 8-1 Con
ference win over Elon last week
to up their record to 5-1 in the
Conference. But, Carolinas
champ Presbyterian, which
refuses to play the Dogs, ap
pears firmly in command again
for that League.

In the District, however, the
situation is vastly different. On
Tuesday, the Dogs upped their
perfect District mark to 4-0 when
a pair of clutch doubles wins
pushed them past Campbell 5-4.
Ken Rand and Danny Thompson
blasted two easy singles wins
and dumped Mark Helms-Andy
Landis 6-4, 6-4 in doubles to key
the win.
Unle the tennis Dogs, the
golfing Bulldogs will probably
get their shot at a title in the
Carolinas Conference. The
linksters lost their first Con
ference match of the season 16-8
to Catawba on Thursday, but
dumped High Point on the same
day to up their league mark to 4-
1. The Dog golfers are also 4-1 in
District play, but don’t pose a
serious threat to Campbell’s
supremacy in that sport.
A Tuesday golf match with
East Carolina was rescheduled
for Wednesday when ECU failed
to show.
The baseball Bulldogs, mean
while, continued their reign as
the enigmas of the Conference.
Although way below .500 in the
Carolinas, the Dogs have one of
the league’s top hitters in Bobby
Johnston (.417) and three of the
league’s top pitchers in Ronnie
Hopkins (0.37 era), Wayne Pig-
ford (2-Orcord and 0.43 era), and
David Lewis (1-0 record and 0.42
era).
After breaking their losing
streak with a 3-2, 9-6 double-
header win over Lenoir Rhyne
on April 14, the diamond Dogs
dropped a 7-4 game to High Point
on April 15 and ended the week
by splitting a doubleheader with
Catawba, losing the first 3-0 and
winning the second 2-0. Then, on
Tuesday the Dogs scored four
runs in the eighth inning to upset
Elon 12-7. Sophomore Bob John
ston, who relieved David Lewis
in the sixth inning and picked up
the win, sparked the victory with
four hits, including a triple, and
three runs batted in. Jimmy
Robinson backed Johnston with
three hits, one a double and one a
triple.
WRA Netters Drop 2
ACC’s inexperienced WRA
tennis squad dropped its second
straight match of the season
with an 8-1 loss to Fike High
School Monday on the ACC
courts.
Faye Pollock grabbed the only
WRA win of the day with a 7-5, 2-
6, 6-3 triumph over Pike’s Linda
Slawson in the number-one
singles, but a forfeit and two
close losses kept ACC out of
contention for most of the
match.
Fike’s Patricia Cloyd dumped
Fon Faulkner with a rallying 5-7,
6-2, 6-3 number-two singles win,
and Janet Barnes-Margaret
Dickerman edged Diane Hick-
man-Myra Price 9-7 in the
number-two doubles to stop
ACCs only other threatso of the
day.
Fike had beaten ACC 9-0
earlier in the year at Fike.
Pollock and Faulkner in
doubles and Jonnie Bissette and
Hickman in singles represent
the WRA in Saturday’s Tennis
Day at UNC-Chapel Hill before
the first of two matches against
ECU on May 1.
