second with a 3:44.
Maurice McClettie fini.shed third
in the broad jump, with 18’
6”. Ben Chavis and Terry Whitt
tied for third in the 100 yard da.sh
at 11.0, and Chavis took third in
the 220 with a 24.5. Cohen was
third in the 120 high hurdles, cov
ering the d.stance in 17.8.
“Our field events and depth were
weak, because not all our boys
could make the trip,” was Coach
Steele’s ex;)lanation of the perfor
mance.
The team has added two new
members in the past week. Steve
Bolt with lend strength to the shot
and discuss, and Terry Wtiitt
brings added force to the sprint
ers. Both have already performed
in meets, and shown well.
Also, Lane Hurley and Wayne
Howard have thrown the discuss
and javelin tor the team. With
these additions, the team is now
represented in every event except
the pole vault.
According to Coach Steele, “We
are utilizing our boys in more
events to o-ive denth ”

Over Weekend
BY DO.XNA HUGHES
The Netmen fell 9-0 in two
week-end tennis matches vvitli
Pembroke and Belmont Abbey on
April 7-8.
‘‘Everybody played well,” said
Spencer Edwards,” We were just
out-played.” According to Spencer
one of the main drawbacks of the
team is the fact that “many good
tennis players aren’t joining the
team because we lack good courts
for practice.”
■Art Mt:yer, captain of the team,
feels that the netmen “have a lot
of room for improvement, but it
is still early in the season, and
everybody is working hard to im
prove.”
According to Mr. Gary Peterson,
who attended the Pembroke match
with the team, “The match score
wasn’t indicative of the individual
play. The doubles play was very
close at Pembroke and also much
better than the singles.”
“The outlook for the match next
week-end is more optimistic,”
said Mr. Peterson. The netmen’s
next match is with Fayetteville
Methodist.
