Rush Shull Displays The Form Which Brought Him
Honors At Pinehurst.
Shull And Smith
Spark The Golfers
The Forty-Niners, paced by
sizzling scores from Rush Shull
and Roy Smith, roared from far
back in the field to capture third
place in the Dixie Conference
golf tournament held on the
number two course at Pinehurst
on Thursday and Friday, May 5
and 6.
Shull shot an 82 the first day
and a 78 the second on the par 72
course which has given the likes
of Arnold Palmer and Jack
Nicklaus bad cases of the bogies.
Smith, the boy wonder of the
tournament as a freshman this
year, wowed the gallery both
days with phenomenal scores of
80 and 83.
Shull’s two day total of 160
was good enough to earn him
the honor of being the runner-
up medalist in the tournament.
He was edged out for medalist
honors by St. Andrews’ strong
senior. Bill McGinnis, by a
mere two strokes. Shuil forced
McGinnis to birdie the last hole
to claim the honor, however.
After the first round on ’Thurs
day, the Forty Niners found
themselves mired in fourth place
due to a bad case of nerves and
unfamiliarity with strict USGA
rules. The rules took their toll on
Bill O’Herron and were a major
factor in his 96, carded on
Thursday. O’Herron, forgetting
there are no free shots in USGA
play, slapped a less-than-six-inch
putt off the green and was forced
to play it. Thus, he finally five-
putted the green.
Other first day scores includr
ed Skip Stanley’s 85, David
Cotter’s 88, and a 91 by Rick
Holt.
After a night of counseling and
calming down with team adviser.
Dr. Roy Moose, Charlotte’s duff
ers went to the final day of play
poised and ready for action.
Friday was an entirely different
story for Charlotte.
Shull and Smith received much
needed support from the other
four team members. O’Herron
regained that young-blood feeling
with a sand-singing 80. Skip
Stanley and David Cotter carded
two sizzling 89s between them
and Holt picked up his second 91.
This strong finish was enough
to grab third place from Fading
North Carolina Methodist and
scare the Tony Lema shirts oft
the backs of the second place
North Carolina Wesleyan boys.
St. Andrews copped first
place honors and Lynchburg
and Charleston brought up the
rear, finishing fifth and sixth,
respectively.
Prospects for next year are
brighter than a Cheer wash with
only one man. Skip Stanley,
graduating from this year’s
Forty-Niner squad. Freshman
Roy Smith, who joined the team
in mid-season and has amazed
his opponents ever since, will be
serving a six-month hitch with
Uncle Sam in a few weeks but
will return in time for the spring
semester. Shull, Cotter, O’Her
ron, and Holt will also return.
The Forty-Niners were the only
outfit at the tournament this year
lacking school supplied clubs and
bags.

The UNC at Charlotte basket-
bailers will dribble in and out of
six different states in the 26-
game schedule announced by
Coach Harvey Murphy for the
1966-67 campaign.
Highlighting the four month
long itinerary are the Florida
Presbyterian College Tip-Off
Doubleheader and two Christmas
Holiday Tournaments in Virginia
and Georgia.
Opponents and pairings for
the Bridgewater Rotary Holi
day Tourney on December 29-30
in Bridgewater, Virginia and
the Berry College Holiday
Tourney on January 2-3 in
Rome, Georgia, have not been
completed.
When the last bag has been
unpacked the Forty Niners will
have traversed most of the south
via station wagon, chartered bus
and chartered plane.
Last season, six key losses due
to academic reasons resulted in a
6-17 overall record. A 4-6 confer
ence mark earned fourth place.
This year’s squad will have many
new faces, but 6-2 lettermen
Jerry Anthony and Robbie Snipes
head the returnees.
