Fortj' - Niners.

Lynchburg College, winner of the
Dixie Conference regular season
title, became the tournament
champion to boot by mauling
Greensboro College 94 to 70 in

about five minutes to play. The

never trailed.
Chivalrous Sport Taught
V CTJ/^T ICTP'D *
In its second game on Friday
night, Greensboro out lasted N. C.
Methodist 68 to 64. Methodist had
eliminated College of Charleston-
the night before by ruining its ball
control tactics, 72-55. Jim Dar
den’s rebounding had proved
the undoing of the Maroons from
the coast city but Greensboro’s
troika of Oldham, Morgan, and
Radford overpowered the Metho
dists.
Greensboro, in its first season
of Dixie Conference basketball,
was outclassed by Proffitt and
Lynchburg in the championship
game.
Lynchburg, by virtue of its
tournament victories, will now re
present the DIAC in the NAIA
playoffs.

Students participatingin the phy
sical education program taught by
Coach Harvey Murphey this
semester are being instructed in
the rules, art, and etiquette of
fencing. Fencing is a carry-over
sport which developed as a fine
art hand-in-hand with dueling in
the sixteenth century age of chiv
alry. The nobility; women as well
as men, studied fencing, and the
art reflected the courtesies of the
time.
In the seventeenth century when
gunpowder and firearms replaced
hand - to - hand combat in effect
iveness, fencing became truly a
sport. The object of the game be
came the touch rather than the kill.
Fencing schools originating in
Italy, France, and Spain became
popular among the aristocracy.
Each of these schools taught their
own system of fencing. The rules
and etiquette of the French and
Italian schools became most widely
accepted through following years.
Today, evidence of both schools
may be seen in modified form in
wide use. The Italian school
stressed power. The French school
stressed finesse.
For purposes of international
competition, such as the Olympic
Games, French is the present
language of fencing.
On Tuesday and Thursday be
tween 8:30 and 10:00, Coach Mur-
phey’s class, of many gentlemen
and five ladies, is learning the
traditional - grounded art of fenc
ing. Each fencer wear the jacket.
These jackets are white and long
sleeved. They offer protection
when the fencer recieves a
“touch” from his opponent. Each
wears a soft leather foil glove
which covers the hand in which he
holds the foil.
There is one left-handed student
in the class. For him, a left-
handed glove is provided.
Coach Murphey says tliat only
slight changes must be made by a
left-handed fencer when dueling a
right - handed fencer. “About the
same adjustments a tennis player
who is left-handed must make.”
The students also wear regula
tion protective masks. Coach Mur
phey tells them, “Anytime you
work with anyone you wear a
mask!”
Each student has a foil.
In learning the sport of fencing,
as in other sports, the students
must first tone leg and arm
muscles through! exercise.
Next, the students Une up facing
the wall and practice “lunging”
and “extending” (Two of the many
terms which reflect the speci
alized jargon of fencing.”)
Coach Murphey walks around
watching for mistakes in form.
He corrects and advises:
“Be sure you extend before you
lunge. It’s illegal to lunge — then
extend.”
“You only tighten your wrist in
the sixth position — a backhand
position.”
Students pair off and then con-
sentrate on some of the specifics
involved in the actual match. Coach
Murphey explains some of the rules
governing the match:
“You can only gain points by
declaring your intension to
attack.”
“An opponent must counteryour
attack before he can attack.”
It’s a busy session for tlie as
piring fencers. Sore muscles at
first bothered some of them. But
rewards for many of tlie students
already manifest themselves in tlie
side products of the fencing less
ons — discipline, quick tliinking,
and grace.
Gypsy Rose
Is Bested
W-ASHINGTON, D. C. (CPS) —
Gypsy Rose Lee may be relegated
to second place in burlesque his
tory, now tliat a George Washing
ton University instructor has taken
to stripping.
Having warned students in his
sociology class that he was about
to do something slightly un
orthodox, Joseph Tropea put on
sunglasses and divested himself of
suit coat, tie, shirt and trousers.
Standing before the class in his
undershirt, bermudas and garters,
Tropea concluded his lecture on
the roles individuals play. By de
parting from the normal garb and
behavior of an instructor, Tropea
said later, he was trying to illus
trate the process of role changing.
Somewhat uncertain of the effect
his performance would have on the
class, Tropea also expressed
a more personal uncertainty.
pulled away from a narrow 42-
40 halftime margin with 17:04
left in the contesL Nelson and
Felts ended witli 33 and 21 re
spectively. A1 Horne added to the
Wesleyan cause with 22.
Bill Redmon and Bob Lemmond
had 22 a piece for Charlotte. Also
in double figures for tlie Forty-
Niners were Lane Hurley with 11
and Robbie Snipes and Jerry Over
cash with 10 each.
Charlotte shot a respectable IS^o
from tlie floor but Wesleyan bested
that mark witli 48/5 of its field
goals finding the range. Wesleyan
also beat tlie Fortj'-Niners at tlie
charity stripe by collecting 19 of
23 chances. Charlotte got just
18 of 26.
“It was a well played game,”
said Coach Murphy. “Wesleyan
played as well as any conference
team has played against us this
year. However, we contested
every shot tliey took. Their gj'm
packed with 600 partisan fans help
ed tliem a great deal.”
The I-'orty - Niners will play
tlieir final game of tlie season
I'riday night in the (iaringer gym
against Armstrong State College.
UNC-Charlotte
Watch For A Bowling Spread
The Forty-Niner bowling team
continues to keep the lanes hot
with fallen timer as it streaks
towrard the top spot in the Dixie
Conference. The six - man team
is currently in second place in
the league.
Mitch Borden leads the sklttlers
but all team members boast hefty
averages.
Watch for a large spread on the
Charlotte Bowlers with pictures of
them in action in next week’s
Journal.
By that time they may be in
first place.
