Homecoming with 4 lettermen
battle
back
planned
Tuesday, November 11, SCC's
Homecoming committee held a
nneeting in room 108 in the
Technical Building. The purpose
was to make and discuss how the
candidates for homecoming
queen would be nominated and
elected. It was decided that any
girl interested in becoming SCC's
Homecoming Queen, should
turn in a picture of herself. The
picture should be larger than
billfold size (5 X 7 or larger).
They are to be given to Veronda
Stanley or Joyce Bernard by
December 2. These pictures will
be posted on the bulletin board.
From those candidates six will
be chosen by the basketball
players as finals. This selection
will be done on December 3.
The qualifications for all
candidates are as follows: (1)
She must be a full time student;
(2) she must be single; and (3)
she must have a 2.0 GPA.
There will be a campus wide
election in the Auditorium. The
student body will vote on the six
candidates on December 4.
The six candidates will need
escorts during the Homecoming
game. The Homecoming Queen
will be announced during
half-time on December 6, at
SCC's Homecoming game.
Plans for the Homecoming
Parade have been dropped due
to unexplainable circumstances.

WHITEVILLE-lt looks like
an uphill grind for Coach Joe
Nance's Southeastern
Community College Rams
basketball team during the 1970
schedule.
For Nance, in his fourth year
as SCC's only basketball coach,
has only four lettermen back
and only one regular starter on
hand from the Rams team that
gave the college its only winning
sports season. The 1969
basketball team at Southeastern
finished with a good 17-12
mark.
And, as in most of the seasons
previous, Nance will also be
bothered with a height complex.
His tallest man expected to play
will be 6-5 Greg Hagins, a former
All-Waccamaw Athletic
Association and All-EAst star
from Fairmont High School.
, His returning lettermen
include Maliston Stanley, a Jiggs
Powers Scholarship winner last
year as a freshman aYid one of
the top performers of the
winning team, who is a 6-2
sophomore and from Shallotte
Union. He's a forward and
center. Other vets include Brodie
Andrew, 6-3 sophomore forward
from Snow Camp; Al Brice, 5-10
guard and sophomore from
Tabor City; and Clyde Malpass,
6-0 sophomore forward from
Clarkton. The only other
member who saw action—and

work in all departments, more
than we have time for before

against the University of South
Carolina at Florence on Friday,
Nov. 14,
"You know," continued
Nance, "we have but one regular
starter back from last year,
Maliston Stanley. Brice and
Malpass started, but not
regularly. That 17-12 record of
last year looks mighty good at
present. 1 feel if we can just
break even this winter we'll be
going well.
"Our height problem Is bound
to catch up with us. And, the
boys have a lot to learn. They
seem to be pretty good group
but they're behind In some
departments. Our schedule will
be tougher, too, as we play most
of the tough community
colleges, plus The Citadel plebe
(freshman) team and also Mount
Olive, Chowan, Southwood, all
varsity teams from the Tar
Heel-Cavalier Junior College
Conference."

In one of the best games of
the season the SCC kickers fell
short in there bid to take UNC.
The Rams traveled to Chapel
Hill to meet their J.V. team. The
game started with UNC taking
possession of the ball first. The
Heels scored first on a drilled
shot from the side in the middle
of the first quarter. But no more
than a minute later Bill Hardin
boomed in a 45-yard score to tie
the game 1-1. In the second
quarter the Heels scored again.
After that the game was nip and
tuck until Zee Branch headed a
shot into the goal to make the
score even 2-2 to end the first
half.
The third quarter was a
hard-contested battle, each team
fighting to put itself in the lead.
But neither could capitalize to
do so. The fourth quarter was
the same as the third quarter
until UNC scored with about
three minutes remaining. The
Rams fighting to come back
found themselves in front of the
UNC goal in position to score
when the final gun sounded.,

were working against the Rams.
