ACC’i SPORTS FUTURE
What does the future hold for sporta at ACC? How
will ACC rate with other North State Conference schools
in the future? These are just a couple of questions that will
probably come to the minds of acme of this year's seniors
who are interested in the intercollefriate activities of the
Bulldogs. But who is going to answer them?
The past three basketball seasons indicate that the
Bulldogs are on the way up. But after a closer look, one
cannot see much success for the coming year. Three years
ago, a sophomore-laden club was conference champion.
The following season they were strong contenders who
seemed to lack that final drive. ThLs pa.st season, with
two veteran lettermen but a number of strong reserves
from the past two years and a highly touted transfer stu-
dent, they were in fourth spot.
What does next year hold? One veteran guard (5’9”)
and a forward (6’3”) who saw limited action this season
mu.st make up the nucleus of the team. Let’s hope thai
Coach McComas can turn some of this year’s freshmen
team members into, varsity performers or come up with a
good crop of freshmen.
Perhaps the new Wilson Community Building ^1)
soon be completed and add a little incentive for a stand
out high school performer to enroll at ACC.
The baseball picture is even more dismal than the
basketball situation. There is on our campus now, a group
of boys who have come up with a team that plays .some of
the nearby semi-pro clubs and could possibly play the Bull
dogs on even terms. But they don’t go out for the team, for
they feel that no one really cares about the varsity ba.se-
ball club. Not that this year’s nine ha.sn’t really tried. They
have lost at least three conference games by one-run mar
gins. And these boys play for the fun of it. A high school
baseball plftyer doesn’t come to ACC expecting to get any
thing like what the basketball star does. It just isn’t done.
And also conference baseball champions will probably
never come to ACC. This season Rock Ridge high school
had three baseball players who were good enough to be
invited to East Carolina for a workout and the ECC Assis
tant Coach Earl Smith vi.sited Rock Ridge to see them play.
Rock Ridge is about eleven tniles from Wilson. Were these
boys invited to ACC to workout? I’m just wondering.
What does all of this lead to? Ju.st this — ACC need.s
a shake-up in its inter-collegiate athletic set-up. A direct
or of athletics from within the physical education depart
ment needs to be appointed. And Mr. Ed. Cloyd is the
man for the job. I’m sure Mr. Adams will agree that he
has enough duties without athletics. Mr. Cloyd could also
handle the tennis and golf teams.
Secondly, an assi.stant basketball coach who can serve
as head baseball coach should be hired. Baseball has long
gone lacking at ACC and a qualified coach who can give
the team all of his time and effort should be hired. This
coach could also have the freshman basketball team and
.serve as a scout.
Naturally there are many students and alumni who feel
that colleges should not cater to athletics. And perhaps!
they are right. But a winning basketball or ba.seball team
can do a great deal of good for a school. High school stu
dents are perhaps the most avid sports fans in the country
and they like to attend a school that has a winning.ball
club. Also, if a school is going to participate in intercol
legiate athletics, participation should not be half way —
the school should aim to win.

A very iuccr«5ful Intramural
