THURSDAY, MARCH 7,1974 PAGE FOUR Bowlers Roll To DIAC Title Last weekend, host St. An drews parlayed fine head-to- head bowling Friday and great shooting from its num ber two doubles team and its bench Saturday to win the Dixie Conference and District 29 titles. In team competition the Knights stroked a 3926 in cluding 400 bonus points for winning four matches to cap ture the conference crown. Methodist, which had led by 7 pins going into the an- ticlimactic championship game, finished second at 3789 with Lynchburg third. Ed Mc Donald’s double in the tenth frame capped a pressure packed uphill battle that sealed the Monarchs’ fate, as SA stared down Methodist 879- 835. SA’s highest game produced a 960 with three deuces again st Lynchburg. Jim Herring scored 202, Wes Campbell 201, and Ed McDonald 200 against the Hornets. Mark Podhorec- ny rolled a 201 in another mat ch, while Jim Barrick came through with a high game of 198. All five starters averaged at least 170 and four surpassed the 700 total in four games. Saturday the Knights won the area title, spilling 5463 pins in doubles and singles. Donald “Mick” Meisel left most ex perts dumbfounded by cap turing the singles cham pionship with the tour nament’s only 600 series, a 603. Teammate McDonald made a strong run in second place at 584 and Barrick scored a 576 for fourth place. Barrick led the Knights with 1132 for six games in singles and doubles. He teamed with McDonald for second place in doubles behind Meftodist’s Hubbard-Ayres combination, whose 1103 total was good for a thirteen pin win. “Pod” and Campbell rolled into fifth with 1061. Pod and Ed made the all tournament team, which was based on all events. Pod had 1823 and McDonald 1820 for ten games. Barrick just missed all-tourney honors with an 1814. Elmer Hubbard of Methodist paced the five with 1862. His teammate Bob by Ayres and Lynchburg’s Tim Tyman completed the team. Hubbard, Fred Puryear of Methodist, Jim Wiley and Bill Smith of Lyn chburg, and Harry Barbin of Greensboro College made the all conference team. The top five for the Knights, who may have earned a trip to Kasnsas City for the nationals, are Barrick, McDonald, Podhorecny, Meisel, and Rusty Pherson. Coach Floyd Blackwell, who was recuperating from recent surgery at the time of the tour nament, remarked after the victory, “I have great con fidence in my kids and I knew they would do it even when the going was rough...I feel our score will take us to Kansas City and the team will reach its peak there. Wes (Camp bell) and Duane (Robinson) did a great job coaching and they reaUy deserve much credit for our success.” Campbell stated, “It was easy to instruct the team, but anyone could have done it...I used good instijict in the doubles pairings. A relaxed at mosphere helped us bowl 960...Against Methodist, I told the boys to keep their com posure and make marks...The vocal crowd was a major fac tor too.” Duane Robinson, team manager, praised the team’s ability to bowl under pressure and emphasized the team Mick Meisel — Conference Singles Champion Intramurals Men’s intramural basket ball A League saw Meek wallop Kings Mountain 72-36 and Orange-Granville 58-38.

Duane said, “Blackie does a fine job keeping team morale high. This is all you can ask of a coach.” Barrick “just concentrated more” in his last two games Friday and Saturday. “Shooting with Ed helped because we complement each other and bowl well together...Mick’s singles series gave me something to shoot for, so I wanted to cover my spares and get one double for a deuce...I knew if I bowled well Saturday, this would make amends for worse days. But I was hoping we would have champions in every event.” McDonald said the muscle he pulled during his second doubles game hurt only through that competition. “I got treatment before the singles and once the arm loosened up it was all right.” On his doubles placing, “I wasn’t thinking about a good finish until the nintii frame of the last game.” He felt some pressure before his two big strikes Friday. “I just wanted to get one.” Meisel, perhaps nervous in his first tournament action, more than made up for a weak doubles showing by shooting his winning 603. Mick, as stun ned as everyone else in the building, only remembered the strikes going down. “I knew my season rested on those three games, a chance to redeem myself. I got lucky and threw strikes on my first two balls and went from there. All my other strikes were solid ones and I picked up most of my spares. It was to my ad vantage to bowl first shift because there was no pressure on me. I was psyched up and knew for the team and myself that I could do it...I have been bowling well for the past three weeks but this was the first time I’d done well in a clutch situation this year.” Meisel continued, “The quality of sportsmanship in this conference is super and everyone rooted for me and each other to do well and it certainly helped.” Mick fired up the team with his per formance, expecially Mc Donald, Barrick, and Hier- son, who shrugged off his problems and bowled superbly in singles.
