november, 1969 •i‘ ^ the ram's horn page 5 The Rams Heard By Rick Mason Basketball, which seems to be a popular spectator sports with nearly everybody, is just around the corner Pre-season predictions tend to favor the view that Ram fans win have a chance to watch a winning team Coach Nance is optimistic about his ball dub, and I am optimistic about the support his dub will receive. Attendance at the soccer garpes did improve some over tfiG SQdSon, Still soccGr hds just not y&t CdUQht on 3 spectator sport in proportion to the big three. This is a good indication that Chadbourn gym should be filled with Southeastern students at every home game. The first test will come on Nov. 22, at the first home game. Although school ends officially on Nov. 21, there should still be enough local student participation to provide a nice crowd. Basketball will be a good chance to get away from studies and bull sessions for two hours, a chance to meet new people and fraternizing with friends, and give school spirit a needed boost. So students, use this opportunity instead of ignoring it. Howarth and Blanchard stop ball from going down field. if improvement counts for anything, then Wingate nips Rams Southeastern, ^ surprising a 7110 potent offence was held in highly rated Wingate eJeven, check, however, by a hard appeared at times to be on the charging Ram defence, verge of an upset before bowing Offensively, Southeastern out 3-0 in a soccer match played managed to put together an here on Oct. In the first game of attack which resulted in a few improved team provided much half ending in a scoreless stiffer opposition in the return deadlock. Wingate finally drew blood in First half action was vigorous the 3rd quarter on a penalty and rough. Each team moved the shot. Shortly afterward in the ball well, with Wingate ggpr,g period, a long chance shot having slightly more ball control. Rams are improved Southeastern had a successful soccer season. True, a 2-9-1 season, Wingate had routed goal shots, but no scores. A lot record is rather disreal, but things weren't as bad as they Wingate. SCC's of hard battling found the first appeared to be. For example, Wingate and Wilmington wiped out the Rams 8-0 and 2-0 respectively at the first of the season. The last game with Wilmington actually found the Rams ahead 2-1 until the last of the first half Wilmington scored on two penalty shots for a dose 4-2 vicotry. Wingate, who having slightly more ball control. had not even had a dose call all season, was held scoreless by a scrappy Ram team for the first half. Wingate finally managed to pull the game out, 3-0, but it was far from sasy. The whole S.C.C. soccer team The crowing medal of improvement for the Rams came has come a long way from the against a highly touted U.N.C.-J. V. team in the last game fii"st game this year. It would be of the season. Though most people expected a real slaughter, SCC nearly turned the table and beat Carolina. The final score was 3-2, and the Rams nearly tied it in the dosing minute of play with a goal shot that missed by only a scant few inches. So if there are any people left who still believe that there is more to athletics than just winning, maybe they'll join in a tribute to a team that wouldn't roll over and die when it was beaten. took Wingate bounce and made the score 2-0. From then until the last of the 4th quarter the game seemed much like the first half, with neither team having a decisive advantage. With five minutes left in the game, Wingate scored once more for their hard earned 3-0 margin of victory. The Ram's now 2-8-1 on the season, play their final game against the Carolina Frosh at UNC-Chapel Hill on Nov, 6th. Co-Captains hoinored Soccer season has closed out for the Rams, and although not much can be said for a dismal 2-8-1 record, the co-captains of the team were very instrumental in the improvement of the team at the end of the season. Co-captains, John Howarth and Bill Hardin, strived to bring unity to the faltering team, and this was largely responsible for the narrow margins of defeat instead of the large ones the Rams had become accustomed to. From the start of the season it was apparent that neither the team nor the captains themselves were making much of a team effort. When Howarth and Hardin decided to unify themselves and the team, things began to happen. Their efforts were not in vain, and tribute should be paid to two young men that may not have lead a winning team, but found a hustling one. hard to pick the most improved players on the squad, but, in my opinion, the two that showed the most improvement were Winky Seaton and Billy Blanchard. Winky was the Ram goalie, and Billy played a center halfback, Winky Seaton had tne most responsible position on the field. He had to stop all scores going into the goal. The score of the first game was 8-0 against the Rams. The last game played was with U.NX.'s junior varsity, which was the best in North Carolina. The score was 3-2 at the final whistle. In other games he proved to be the equal of any goalie in North Carolina. Winky was not built to be a goalie, because he is too short, too light, and just too small in general for the position. He overcame this with a lot of practice and a lot of spirit. There is a lot more of his qualities that could be brought out, but you would have to see him on the field to understand them. The next S.C.C. improved player for the fall season is Billy By John Howarth Blanchard. Billy protected the center of the field with guts and growing knowledge of the game of soccer. The first time he even saw a soccer ball was in September. From the beginning Billy showed that the center was his position and proved it on the soccer field. The team on the whole has improved and gained the fundamentals of soccer in the year. The Rams didn't win many games, but their spirit kept the team together enough to give a fight to every team they opposed. Past soccer players From soccer to football Five SCC soccer players changed from soccer to football In joining the Clarkton alumni football team, Steve Brooks, Jim Carey, Bill Hardin, John Howarth, and Gayland Osteen constituted much of the balance of the team. The first game was played Friday night, Nov. 14, at Clarkton against Elizabethtown. Bruiser" Brooks played fullback and linebacker, Jim, "Night Train," Carey played tackle both ways. Bill, "High Hurdler" Hardin played left half and safety, John, "Ogre" Howarth played outside line-backer. The game was a tough one. By Bill Hardin enjoyed it. Many great plays were performed by SCCmen. "Bruiser" Brooks intercepted a pass. "Night Train" Carey made many unassisted tackles. "High Hurdler" Hardin caught many passes, ran back Kick-offs, and ran plays, but he had a habit of trying to hurdle people and landed in many awkward positions. "Ogre" Howarth crushed the quarter back and dared anyone to challenge his end. "Olmire" Osteen who is 130 pounds of solid fire, made many tackles and put the hurts on quite a few backs. The only bad thing was on the last play, he got his chin busted open. Go The SCC soccer team has never had a championship team, but in the last three years, the Rams have put out an All-American candidate and two outstanding players for another team. The All-American candidate is Harry Foley, who was captian of the Rams team in 1967-68 and named player of the year those years. He was also president of the soccer club in the spring of 1968-69. Harry came from Germany before he played for SCC. He receiced honors in Germany by being picked all Europe in 1966. Foley is now at Appalachian State where he has proved to be the winning combination for the Mountain Men. The two outstanding games Pembroke State University. The By John Howarth University of Jacksonville. Foley scored four points to win the game for Appalachian team. The next team that SCC has given outstanding players to is for Harry were UNC-CH and the University of Jacksonville. In the game with Carolina, Foley scored three points against the 17th ranked Tar Heels, The game was a 3-0 upset for the UNC team which proves that Appalachian is an up and coming soccer power. The second best game for Harry was at the first player is Stu Smith who played center halfback. He was captain of the 1968 soccer team for the Rams. Stu did an excellent job for SCC and is showing he can do just as good a job at PSU, Robert Fuller played for Southeastern in-1967-68 and was an aggressive and outstanding player for the Rams, Many of the men hadn't played get'em, Olmire! The nex game football in years, but it was good will be Saturday riig t clean fun and all who took part at the Elizabethtown le m I Osteen topples UNC-W player in game.
