garb to protect our clothing from
salt. On our way home to
Murrhardt we stopped off at
Munich for four hours. Some of
the guys took the brand new
subway to see the Olympic
Village and were thrilled at the
magnificance of the place.
When we arrived at Murrhardt
we had approximately five free
days left before returning to the
United States. We took our final
test (ugh!) and some people
decided to go home early. Ray
Griffin and I were the only
students left, so we took some

ACC IFalks Plank
By LEIGH T.AYLOR
The Atlantic Christian girls
tennis team was sent to the
gallows last Tuesday, Oct. 2
against the Pirates of East
Carolina. ECU plundered the
netters 8-1 as ACC could do
nothing except run to the crow’s
nest.
Once again Joan Adams, the
Billie Jean King of Wilson,
displayed her cannons as she
met her opponent broadside, and
sank the block patched Pirate 6-
0, 6-3. Unfortunately for the
Bulldogs, the Buckanners didn’t
like their own medicine as they
came sailing back to pick up
wins in the remaining singles
matches. Patricia Cloyd playing
No. 2, lost to Ginney Deese 1-6, 0-
6, as the Pirates evened up the
match. East Carolina went
ahead to stay as Gay Robertson
was beaten by Ellen Warren 2-6
and 1-6. In the fourth spot,
Denise Wineman lost to ECU’s
Ann Archer 2-6 and 0-6. Mary
Beth Bottoms tried to stop the
awesome onslaughter of the
Pirates, but her debut was
spoiled by Ann Chavasse 3-6, 3-6.
After a brief rest, the girl Bull
dogs tried to regroup and fight
their way back in the doubles
matches. Joan Adams and
Patricia Cloyd tried to make the
score respectful, but this just
wasn’t their day or the team’s as
they lost 2-6, 2-6. Gay Robertson
and Denise Wineman in the No. 2
pairing also lost to the
Bucaneers 2-6 and 2-6. At least
'.v.v.vv.*.
there was some consolation in
the third spot as rain washed out
the second set with Mary Betti
Bottoms -Connie Turner
beginning 3-6.
For Coach Barbara Smith's
fleet, the battle was lost, but it
only reminds me of the famous
words of John Paul Jones as he
fought the British, “I have not
yet begun to fight!”

Shootout at OK Corral
counterparts 10-8 in a murdering
match.
Gay Robertson and Denise
Wineman shot the pants off their
opponents and clinched thf
match by winning B-5. Connie
Turner and Mary Beth Bottoms
in a meaningless match lost H
side trips to places we had not
yet seen. Ron Beneddict and Jim
Oawford trucked over to Paris
and London and lived especially
frugally for a few days.
To top off a delightful tour of
Germany Ray and I were
delayed for 54 hours in
Luxembourg. It sounds im
possible, but the catering truck
ran into the wing of our plane,
broke it, the driver of the truck
split the scene ( I would've too)
and Icelandic had to fly another
plane from Iceland to get us
home! Consequently, all of our
connections in New York were
ruined and the airline had to put
us up overnight in New York.

The afternoon of October 5,
1973, will go down in infamy at
the Wilson tennis courts as the
female netters defeated UNC-
Wilmington 54. In winning their
second match in five attempts,
AC’s sharpshooters were on
target that was reminiscent of
the Wyatt Earp and Doc
Holliday days.
Joan Adams had her toughest
match of the season against
Joan Swart of UNC-Wilmington,
but “Jolting Joan” again
prevailed by winning in straight
sets 6-3, 6-4. Incidentally, Joan
has won 60 out of 78 games this
season against her opponents.
In the No. 2 spot, Patricia
Cloyd was wounded by Gwynn
Hawes in two sets 1-6 and 3-6.
Although Patricia does not have
an impressive individual record,
it won’t be long before she
starts out-drawing her op
ponents.
Gay Robertson, the number
three seed for ACC, also lost her
match in two sets 2-6 and 2-6 to
Martha Richardson of the east
coast team.
Coach Barbara Smith moved
(k)nnie Turner from the sixth
position to the fourth, but her
strategy failed as Connie lost to
Leslie Phillips 2-6 in the first set
and the tie breaker in the
second, 6-7.
At this stage in the singles’
matches, ACC was down 3-1, but
we aren’t nicknamed the
“Bulldogs” for nothing as
“Dynamic Denise” Wineman
gunned down Peggy Phillips 6-4,
6-2.
The Atlantic Christian girls
were not to be denied this day as
Mary Beth bottoms evened up
the singles competition 3-3 by
rifling her opponent 6-2, 6-3.
The entire match hinged on
the outcome of the doubles
matches and ACC clearly had
the momentum going to the
reliable first paning of Joan
Adams and Patricia Cloyd. In
the doubles matches, the girls
played a pro-set. Instead of
having to win six games, the
girls went to win eight, or by two
games of the match is extended.
The unpredictable almost oc
curred as the doubles duo of
Adams and Clod found them
selves down 2-6, but “Jolting
Joan” and “Petite Patricia”
won 6 out of the next 8 games and
tied the match 8-8. With the
pressure mounting, the ACC
combo finally killed their
