Notes From The Sidelines By John Lafferty Campus Life After 4 UNC—C, often noted for the silent and de serted campus each afternoon following classes had a large crowd assembled on the Athletic field for two afternoons last week. A strange feeling indeed to be in the union after 4:00, and to see more than a few scattered bridge players. Scattered bridge players indeed! Those who made their way from the grass covered -- well at least in spots-- turf to the sanctuary of a Cafeteria coke machine, and back again were sweatshirt and tennis shoe clad, sweating sweating and dusty. These were the first in tramural teams. And to watch these figures slump limply across lounge chairs and sofas, or against walls and doors, with the sound of a shrill whistle in the valley for a back ground at 6:00, a time when many students believe the campus sidewalks are rolled up, and have never investigated to see for themselves, gives one a feeling of. . . could you call it amazement. I doubt it. The students have had it in them for a long time. They just needed somebody to make plans to bring it out. So when the black and blue of the APO- lovers, or the dirty sweatshirts of the Animals take the field each afternoon, and someone remains on campus until after 6:00, it looks like were going bigtime! AND HOWCOME?? It would seem that such a program could have long ago begun. But it didn’t. Last year there was a widely publicized effort, much of which took place the day the water went off, but it never lasted. Coach Larry Bostian, newly of the athletic department must be given the credit. It is he who has made the plans, and then followed through. It is he who has contacded club and class presidents, improvised schedules, com piled statistics, and generally made intramurals begin the iong stretch towards reality. But mostly, it is the interest he has taken in them which made them work. Spotlighting.. Woody Frick, a junior majoring in History, who forms, with Mike Ridge, Ron Lynch, and Larry McAfee the strength of the cross country team. By consistently finishing as a solid third or fourth man for the harriers. Woody lends a great deal to the strength which wins meets, solid depth. A Newberry S. C. native, he has lived in Charlotte most of his life. A Garinger high graduate, he ran cross country for three years, captianing the team his senior year, when he also received the Most Valuable Trophy. He lettered in Track at UNC-C last spring, as a 440, 880 and mile relay man. It is good when a team has members such as Woody. For such solid depth greatly in creases ones chances of winning. PAGE 5 Intramural Teams Open League Play Each of the eight intramural league teams played a practice game last week , in preparation for the opening of intramurals, last Monday, October 9. In these games, the Animals went to a 26-0 romp over the engineers, and the Business Club fought to a 7-7 tie with the Freshman, on Tues day afternoon.

Oct. 11, 1967, 11:30 In Union Gym -- Beside Cateteria All students and faculty welcome “My untimate goal is to develop a program of quality wrestling within the total perspective of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and to create an image of which the entire area will be proud.” ‘‘I believe in a personal rela tionship with each player. A top player should be a top person, one who has a set of values.” Runners Lost To Inj ury “A team that plays at its peak in the last period is the team that wins. This is when the real character of the player comes out. When the third period starts, I want our wrestlers to hold up three fingers, a signal that this is “our ” period. I’d like the fans to take ig) the cue, too. In cross country practice this week the harriers showed a high amount of teamwork. This is a good feeling for a team to have, and one that is difficult to work up in a sport as individualized as cross country.

David Rettew also has suf fered injuries and will be out for the rest of the season. Perhaps the loss of these three boys has effected the morale of the team. Let’s hope the increased morale of the team will help to offset the loss of these 49ers. “Although we are building a long-range program, we expect to have our wrestlers displaying 100 percent effort and enthusiasm through out each contest of the 1967-1968 season. I can assure you the nine men who develop thi s trait will represent our Uni versity on the mat.” The pony express, one of the most colorful institutions of the Old West, rode again in the service of product re search.
