THE DECREE Let’s Protect Our Athletes TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1965 Fritz Smith and Steve Hall. sports are fast becoming an integral part of Wesleyan’s col lege atmosphere, and all of us heartily Indorse them. Our teams, which have built up over the past five years, pratice and train dil- ligently in order to turn out quality performances for the school. There is no greater evidence of this than this year’s soccer and basketball teams. However, there are some aspects of our athletic program which should be seriously examined, and the most important of these is training equipment. By train ing equipment, we mean such articles as a training table, medi cal supplies, and a whirlpool. In the opinion of many, these things should be present before an athletic program is ever be gun. Just previous to the DIAA Tourney, two of our starting players receive leg Injuries and had to be taken to Rocky Mount Senior High to be treated. Not only does Wesleyan not have a whirlpool; it doesn’t even have a conditioning table. We are sure that many of our students who have participated in athletics at one time or another will be able to cite at least one incident In which a player or contestant in a sport has suffered permanent affliction due to improper treatment a relatively minor injury. This, then, not only ham pers the performance of our teams, it Is unfair and dangerous to those who participate. This publication emphatically urges the Immediate appropriation of funds for purchasing this vital equipment which, by some mir acle, we nave managed to go without for too long.

Ten people originally went out for the team but this number dropped to 7 boys and 1 girl. Four lettermen are among the 7. These are Mike Pratt, Bill Bobblt, Troung Nguyen and Lynn Holden. The remaining three are Tom Farm er, Fritz Smith and the first girl participant on a Wesleyan Tennis team, Barbara Anson. practice has consisted of ai good bit of running and exer cises in addition to practice sets. Coach Music, who played at Lynchburg College, says he hopes to make up in condition ing what is lacking in experience. The team opens its 14 match season against Methodist on the 24th of March. This season looks as though it will be quite rigor ous since our previous seasons have consisted of only 9 or 10 matches. A match consists of a person or persons winning 2 out of 3 sets. A set is won by the first person to win six games but he must win by two games. An over all match has six single matches and 3 double matches. Therefore, the bare minimum number of peo ple needed for a team is 6 and at least 8 are usually needed.
