a meet for the 4934s. Larry Mc
Afee, John Lafferty, Mike Ridge,
Woody Frick, and John Byrd fin

MARTY FLEMING
The cross country teams opening
home meet, scheduled for October
19 with Greensboro College, was
cancelled by Greensboro last
Thursday, because they were un
able to develop enough interest this
season in the sport. Dr. Murphy,
Director of Athletic s, announced he
was attempting to schedule another
meet in its place.
Unless the alternate meet is an
nounced, the 49ers next outing will
be with Lynchburg College, at
Charlotte, October 23.
Lynchburg and UNC-C are the
only undefeated teams in DIAC,
competition. The winner of this
meet will go into the DIAC con
ference meet favored to win.
In two dual meets on Monday,
October 9, the UNC-C cross
country team received its first
non conference victory and defeat
of the season.
“This is ridiculous. This is just
ridiculous,’’ were the words of Mr.
Brenton Steele, track coach, upon
learning that the meet was to begin
four minutes after the UNC-C
harriers returned from jogging the
two mile course which was to be
run twice to make Davidson’s four
mile course. The wildcats then
easily outran the 49ers 19-39.
This loss was partly compen
sated for by the fact that David
son defeated Western Carolina
University 15-48 (15-50 being a
perfect score) and that our run
ners defeated WCU 19-37. In the
running against WCU the 49ers
finished first, third, fourth, fifth,
and sixth. This group finishing
has proved to be one of the boys’
stronger points.
This gave the cross country team
,a 2-0 record in the conference
and a 3-2 record overall.

It was learned Friday, that the
injuries which sidelined Ron Lynch
Hollowing the first cross country
meet wiU keep him out of compe-
Itition for the remainder of the
iseason.
The announcement came as a
Iblow to the harriers, who had
jcounted on Lynch for fte upcom-
ling big meets. He had been one of
the top runners for the 49ers.
An exclusive arrangement be
tween UNC—C and the downtown
central YMCA permits male stu
dents of UNC-C to belong to the
local “Y” at the reduced rate of
$12.00 for 9 months. This arrange
ment was worked out two years ago
at the request of several students
by Dr. Loy H. Witherspoon, Chap
lain to the University. “This
special arrangement enables our
students to have full use of the
recreational and gymnasium faci
lities of the ‘Y’’’, Dr. Witherspoon
said. “Especially in this interim
period when our facilities are
limited,’’ Witherspoon went on to
say, “is this particularly bene
ficial.’’ Two new classes have en
rolled since the initial announce
ment was made of the agreement.
