It's too bad that the basketball
season for the Belles doesn't start
in February.
By the end of the first half of the
basketball season, November
through January, the Lady Belles
had won only one game (against
Agnes Scott) and lost 12other
games.
"The second part of the season
was better than the first half," said
Joyce Spruill, the Lady B elles bas
ketball coach.
The pivotal point of their sea
son arrived Feb. 7, when the Belles
beat Fisk University by 20 points.
Following that victory, the Belles
won 10 out of their remaining 14
games, and earned a runner-up
spot in the NC-GA Women’s Col
lege Basketball Tournament.
Except for the overtime win
of 67-66 against Peace College, in
most of their victories the Belles
thrashed their opponents by at least
20 points, and the most impressive
win ofalmost 60 points was against
the women of Warren Wilson Col
lege.
Recap
The Belles stomped Fisk Uni
versity 65-45; Johnson Bible
College 62-40; Warren Wilson
College with a score of 77 to 18;

Have you felt a lump in your
breast and are uncertain how long
it’s been there?
If so, it is a good idea to make an
appointment with your physician,
not only for cancer, but for
fibrocystic tumors.
Fibrocystic tumors are charac
terized as being benign, plainless.
firm, rubbery lumps that are most
common in young women between
15 to 30 years old. Physicians use
a breast ultrasound to detect
whether the lump is fluid filled or
solid. However, as an added pre
caution, women should perform
exams themselves.
“After every seven days of a
menstural cycle or the first Sunday
or the first day of taking their birth
control pUl each month women
should do a breast exam standing,
lying down, and a mirror check to
become familiar with their breast,”
said Linda Watkins, the director of
health services in the campus
Health Center.
According to Women’s Ency
clopedia of Health and Emotional
breast symptoms vary from month
to month because hormones vary
from month to month.
