THE LANCE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER W, 1974 — 1 Basketball Team Looks Sharp In Scrimmage PAGE POUR THE BY KIM PHILLIPS “We’re doing a whole lot better than last year,” Coach Whiteley said as he discussed his team’s recent scrim mages. When asked if the team was going to run more this year, the S. A. mentor hedged, saying only, “We’ll play an offense according to our competitors. We’ll use a fast pace against teams we think we can run against, ^d when we need to slow it down, perhaps we can.” He men tioned that both will probablj be used-during the season. A good indication of th( team’s progress so far lies ir the scoring balance againsi Richmond Technical Institute. Monday. On past occasions, all five men on the court have not been involved on offense for various reasons. In a more wide open attack, everyone should be able to handle the ball and consistantly work for two on a trip down the court. Team consistency holds the sey to any good team’s suc- iess with everyone working together and doing their jobs Whitely states, “If I can get much the same production from Cliff Summers that I did against RH (8 pts. and 11 rebounds) I will be satisfied. He will enable Bonds and An drews to concentrate on the stong points of their games.” The 6’6” freshman has shown an ability to keep the ball alive on the boards, especially on the offensive end. “Bonds is more experienced now and this will help him greatly.” The junior from Williamston appears to be a more confident shooter over last year. He is taking the ball to the hoop well in the early season. S.A.’s guards will have to make things happen this season. These responsibilities go to senior Joe Roberts and sophomore Greg Smith. They represent much of the speed and defense the Knights possess. Roberts, last year’s tourney MVP will be the point guard and run the offense. Smith’s tough defense may give many star back courters Philbeck and John Laughlin are available at guard. headaches in ’74-’75. “Smith and forward Larry McDaniel are playing well right now,” assessed the Coach. “Brent Bystrucki, Bob Pelon and Benny Cot, all freshmen, can help us off the bench.” Transfer D^y recovering froin b8ck and leg problems, will spell Roberts at the point. “Our offense is coming along weD but we need more work on the defense. Defense will be stressed in the coming weeks’ practice. We shot real well against RTI.” 'Hiis can be attributed in part to creating turnovers and getting good shots. Speed and defense will continue to remain keys to success, along with con sistency.

He has served as head manager for the soccer team in the last three yekrs. Bill, however, does not want credit for his efforts. He just con siders himself a helper. But anyone who has to keep up with the scorebook, motel arrangements, in the Kuine era and, most important, the equipment, is more than a helper. Burruss became close to several of the Blue Ridge prepsters who travelled down here with him. They and other players united into one big, happy family. Bill par ticipated in football and track at Blue Ridge, but soccer was in the winter and “I wanted to devote that time to other in- terests”-art, his major here, and writing. He felt he had to “adjust” to the Quillen scheme this year as much as the players. “He had a different system of handling uniforms, etc. and we had some equipment problems this year (lost balls).” Burruss believes he puts in twice as much time as players in his role as manager. He likes the game very much and thinks it is one of the stronger campus ac tivities. Bill’s biggest thrills come from the satisfaction of winning. “Quillen has to go out and recruit this year. His success in this area will ^ determine his progress as a coach. We’ve got to giye him a chan^ ce and respect his ideas.” The manager said a change probably ^ was in order because “at times we worked Coach Kinne’s offense too much.” “The team played as well as expected but some of our op ponents have come a long way.” He mentioned Belmont Abbey and UNC-W. Burruss voiced the majority position when he said that Kinne’s ouster killed team morale. “I do believe the seniors tried hard to maintain tepm morale.” Bill dealt much credit to his freshman assistant, Kathy Bell, for her fine job this year. “She did very well and worked hard.” He realizes that manager’s piost will be in good hands next year. Although he admits the job is a lot of work. Bill would like to work as manager for two more years. “I’ve enjoyed it and I just wish more people would try to be a manager. Some are scared because other jobs are thrown at them.”-Kim Phillips. Charles Morgan (continued from page 1) declared, “the person almost has to have two heads, grow hair all over, and bay at the full moon.” Concluding his talk with the observation that “the system will work if you give it a chan ce and be ever on guard again st those who would seek its failure,” Morgan moved directly into a question-and- answer session with the audience in which he called the energy crisis “contrived” and railed at lengtii against America’s vast corporate in terests, which he called “the greatest threat to our liberties today.” Sparing no one from the sting of his barbed wit, Morgan spotted his address with scorching character studies of most of America’s public officials, such as for mer Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski (“you remember Lem, he ran the plea-bargain supermarket up there in Washington”), l^nator Sam Ervin (“the Senator and I agree on the first eight amend ments to the Constitution, but he hasn’t read beyond there yet”), rejected Supreme Court nominee G.

His fii^ poem dealt with a subject that has been touched upon by so many black writers that his poem simply represented another restatement of the facts.' However, Mr. Samuels did strike the nerves of those who fiad never thought about the stituations he presented. His final poem, personal as iti was, stuck in the minds of many. The special woman whom he writes about comes through as a really beautiful person. John Carr, the last poet to read, revealed through his poetry his interest in the Civil War. The humor in his poetry was centered around this fact. The quality of the humor sur pass^ the quality of his poetry. This pdetry reading really gave people a chance to listen to what Southern Voices had to say. Entertaining would be the word to describe my overall reaction to the reading.

Reaction to Morgan’s speech tended to split along ideological lines. Those iden tifying fliemselves as con servatives tended to disagree with many of his pronoun cements, with liberal listeners finding themselves in sub stantial agreement with him. All agreed, however, that he was certainly one of the most outspoken people to speak at St. Andrews in a long time, and as such got the Festival off to a thought-provoking start.
