poured in 18 points and also
grabbed 9 rebounds, which was
a game high. Butch English and
Ricky Richardson also played
well, scoring 10 and 8 points
respectively.
The Whites led almost the
entire game, and the outcome
was never really in doubt. Per
haps the difference in the game
was the shooting percentages.
The Whites made 40.6% of
their shots, while the Blues
only made 30.1%. The board
play was even, with each team
getting 26 rebounds.
Coach Enid Drake seemed
pleased with the over-all per
formance of the squad.
“At this stage of practice,
the boys played exceptionally
well. The team’s ball handling
was good, but the shooting
percentages need to improve
and will as they play more,”
said Drake.
The Hurricanes’ first game is
November 13 against Kittrell.
Everyone is cordially invited to
attend.
Soccer Invades Intramurals
It is that time of the year
again and the fast moving, chal
lenging game of soccer has
again invaded the intramural
program of Louisburg College.
This year the rules of soccer
are very close to those of
NCAA soccer, except for a few
minor changes. For instance,
the periods are shorter; in our
program there are four ten
minute quarters instead of the
regular four twenty minute
quarters, the field is smaller,
the goal area is marked dif
ferently and the rules are not
quite as strict as those of
NCAA soccer.
Coach Lanier was asked if
the sport was popular among
the students. He said, “The
people who participate in the
program seem to be extremely
interested, and the participa
tion is quite good. We’re get
ting good lesults from more
•than half of the floors.” Coach
Lanier added, “Injuries are
few, though there have been a
few bruises and scratches, there
has been nothing serious.”
Soccer seems to be a sport
unknown to most, especially in
the North Carolina Area, but
Lanier feels that with time
soccer will grow in popularity
as it has done among many of
our colleges in the northeastern
United States. The popularity
of soccer in this area is about
fifty-fifty.
Coach Lanier plans for the
soccer season to last until the
Thanksgiving Holidays in No
vember. As for a tournament
and championship game, there
won’t be one. The champion
will be the team which takes
first place in the regular stand
ings.
