PAGE 5 Lynchburg Defeats 49ers Larry McAfee, No. 2 man Woody Frick Notes From The Sidelines By John Byrd After receiving their first conference loss from Lynchburg last week , the cross-country team suffered another blow. They were losing their second coach of the season. Coach Paul Fleming as sured them that it wasn’t because they were not wanted. He has to build a wrestling team, and the athletic department is short of per- sonel. Last Wednesdciy’s meet was the team’s first since Mr. Fleming had assumed Dr. Murphy’s former coaching assignment. Yet, in his short stay, Mr. Fleming has truly influenced the runners. When he ran them, they hated him, but after it was all over, everyone knew it was because he wanted the team to do better than its 5 and 3 record, and because he wanted the tetun to take the conference crown. Besides, Coach Fleming had a way that got you to work a little harder. Feeling dejected after Wednesday’s loss, the team came to Thurs days practice expecting, “one hell of a workout!’’ When Marty Flem ing showed up with a football , they played a hard game, until the sun set. The next day. Coach Fleming had them run,’’ each 440 like it was the last, and try to beat Marty!” And then he wound 1?) practice with another football game. Everyone was sad about Mr. Fleming leaving. He was tough, and he worked you hard. But you knew he wanted you to win. And those football games will be missed too. (But with no daylight savings time, there wouldn’t be much time!) Mr. Brenton Steele, last years traek coach will take over, so there won’t be any lag in the nature of workouts. Still, the harriers will miss Mr. Fleming. He had confidence, and even though he claimed to know nothing about cross country, he proved that he knew enough to get you to work. And he knew enough to make practice part play. Coach Fleming Imspired a team. He is just that kind of guy. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS rr~ sflenpip iNr0(2v'ias/A- e'ccenteic, ascTEp s-' PEVIOUS, HE SHOULDAAAWe A 6?IZHQ[Q APPlFON TC> CUR BVUJUY," By FRANK SASSER Lynchburg College narrowly de feated UNC-C in cross country, 25-30 last Wednesday, in the only home meet of the season. Lynch burg is now the orJy undefeated college in the conference. UNC-C stands second in the conference, with one defeat. The course began on the play ing field, and circled the trash dump cut across the campus in front of L amd A Buildings, con tinued around the field in front of the campus, past Swan Lake and the Administration Building to the bell marker (the 3 mile marker), through the Liberal Arts Comples to the heating plant, and back to the playing field. Rotoract members were stationed in three important spots on the course to keep the boys from making the wrong turn, and to prevent motorists from blocking any of the runners. Many students braved the October gusts to see the meet from various places on campus. All the team members agreed that their spirits were boosted by hearing someone root them on. Although the 49ers finished closely by the clock they didn’t cross the finish line together. They only placed first, fourth, sixth, ninth, and tenth. Marty Fleming finished first in the four mile race with a time of 22:59. Larry McAfee, John Byrd, Woody Frick, and John Lafferty finished in slightly over 24 minutes within 36 seconds of each other.
