Harriers Split Tri-Meet
Notes From
The Sidelines
By John Lafferty
In which I would like to discuss those people
about whom you never hear, but without whom
no team could function. The trainer and the
manager.
After every game hoards of sportscasters
beseige the winning and losing coaches, the
daily stars, and players who could have been
stars, but bumbled around the field for the
entire day. But the only people who beat a path
to the trainers door can scarcely hobble. And
they soon emerge swathed in rools of adhesive
tape and gauze. The trainer is forever sub
merged in the depths of the gym, and forgotten.
But who is it that tapes legs, and feet, and
arms, and hands. And generally holds the team
together, often with tape and blisterpads, salt
pills and the ever presene ace bandage? None
other then the forgotten trainer.
The trainer begins his work long before the
team takes the field, is present throughout the
game, and must work long after it is over.
And the manager? Not even the broken and
injured players will beat a path to him. He
must chase them down and make sure that they
eat at meal time, have a towel to shower
with, pack their shoes and soxs for road trips,
and then run errans for the coach and team
throughout the game. A good manager is like
an extra coach for a team. In his hands rest
the many incidentals about which everyone
else forgets.
To managers and trainers everywhere, but
especially to Lane Hurley, Bill Billups and Frank
Sausser, you are not forgotten.
SPOTLIGHTING. . .
Marty Fleming, a sophomore who is major
ing in History. Marty is a Charlotte native,
who attended Garinger High, where he ran
track and cross country for three years. His
senior year he received awards for being the
most valuable running member of the team,
and also for being the Senior standout.
He has run in both cross country meets
.his season, and is the top 49er runner. At
3t. Andrews he set a new course record, and
■inished first, and at High Point he was second
place. He is thusfar undefeated in DIAC com
petition.
We congratulate Marty for his great perfor
mance.

Last Thursday,September28the
cross country team traveled to
High Point for two-meets-in-one.
The Charlotte team ran against
the cross country teams of High
Point College and St. .Andrews
College. Although the three teams
ran at one time the meet was
scored as two dual meets tor
each of the schools. High Point
defeated both UNC-C and St. An
drews. UNC-C defeated St. An
drews.
High Point did very well runn
ing on their home course against
the 49ers. In fact, their fifth plac
ed runner finished sixth overall.
The score was High Point 19,
Charlotte 41.
In the second meet Charlotte
once again conquered the Knights
of St. Andrews, this time 24-31.
Marty Fleming led the way over
the entire course. Fleming show
ed an improvement over his al
ready fabulous running by cutting
a quarter of a minute off his aver
age time per mile at the St,
Andrews meet two weeks ago.
The boys’ times were good for
the four mile course despite the
fact that it rained during the entire
time they were running. The
ground, already wet from a day’s
rain was muddy and it was dif
ficult to get traction on some of
the steep hills.
The team finished well even th
ough two of our top runners were
unable to run. Ron Lynch had
shin splints and bruses. John Laf
ferty has been walking around
school for a week wearing only
one shoe because of his blood
blisters. They are expected to be
ready to run in our next meet,
though, on October 9 in Davidson,
N. C.
In a post :neet interview with
Coach Murphy, the coach said that
the UNC-C harriers were showing
improvement at every practice and
meet, he also expressed his tra-
titude for tremendous amount of
effort put forth by the cross coun
try team members. Barring anj’
major injuries, we should be in
in contention for top honors in
the District 26 and DI.AC Confer
ence meet in November. The coach
expressed his enjoyment in coach
ing the cross country team, “I
always loo!t forward to practice
when I know all of tiie boys are
going to give all they have,”

Roundballers Soundout
UNC-C’s 49ers open basketball
practice Monday, October 16, at
Harrisburg Jr. High .School gym
nasium. A meeting of Basket
ball prospects was held Tuesday
night, October 3, to sound out pros
pects for the coming season.
Returning from last years squad
are former co-captains Jerry
Anthony and Robbie Snipes, both
forwards; Bob Lemmond, Center;
Ben Bassinger, forward; and Jerry
Overcash, a guard. An initial prac
tice squad of about 20 is expected
to turn out.
Coach Murphy outlines several
reasons for the shift in practice
spots from Derita Klementry
School to Harrisburg. First, the
team will have a regulation floor
to practice on, with four side bas
kets in addition to the two regu
lation ones. Dressing room fa
cilities are also much better.
The team will open its 21 game
schedule at Park Center with Guil
ford College on November 21. A
B-team schedule will also be
played if squad strength remains
at or above 15 members.
