THE COLLEGIATE
JANUARY'
By ,\1,LK.\ STAl-Ll-NOS
For the Atlantic Christian
College Bulldogs, the Citadel
halfcourt zone press defense was
the downfall for the Bulldogs, 85-
62 last Saturday night.
The Citadel, a Southern
Conference foe, used this
defense on the Bulldogs to force
them into 37 turnovers. ACC
committeed 21 of these mistakes
in the first half when Citadel got
off to a big lead.
■This was the first time
anyone has used that kind of
defense on us. We were ex
pecting their fullcourt press and
we handled it well Pomeroy
concluded.
The Bulldogs could only
1
I
F'very team has its outstanding freshman, ACC is no exception as
Richard Kaltle drops in nine points against the Citadel.
Dream Match
Yankees vs. Dodgers? All of
these great rivalries are nothing
compared to the Day I vs.
Waters 1. The two most talked
about teams in intramural
basketball will meet Monday at 9
p.m., and unless Sigma Pi and
Day II upset them last night,
both teams will go at it un
beaten, knowing that the
championship probably hinges
upon the outcome.
Day 1 is a fast moving team
that has literally crushed
everyone thus far. In its first
three games, the squad has
scored 248 points!
Spencer Eakes and Skeeter
Whitlow are averaging 17 and 16
points a game, respectively, for
a team that stresses speed.
Good speed and power under
the boards is the name of the
game for Waters I. The team is
led by big men Tommy Butts
and John Dutton. Butts is
presently the league’s leading
scorer with an average of 29
points a game, Dutton averages
14 points a game and teams up
with Butts to grab lots and lots of
rebounds. Guard Reece
Reynolds has averaged 17 points
a game for Waters I.
Scheduled to officiate this
“dream match" are Allen
Stallings and Paul H. Howard,
Jr., the Mendy Rudolph of in
tramural basketball. Exciting
young Jimmy Turner will keep
the clock. The public is urged to
attend and view intramural
basketball at its best as these
two powers clash.
In conclusion, this article
would not be complete without a
prediction. Therefore, Jimmy
the Greek says: DAY I BY 10
POINTS!
As Usually, Close Games
Hackney I may not be the best
team in intramural basketball,
but they have certainly brought
a great deal of excitement into
the game. On Monday night.
Sigma Pi was the victim; the
final score was 62-61. This time
the hero was Dennis Goodwin,
who sank a 15 foot hook shot at
the final buzzer to secure victory
for Hackney, who had been 10
points behind with a little over
two minutes left to play. The
game's scoring leaders were
Hackney's Jimmy Cobb (27) and
Pi's Robert Wells (19).
In other games Monday, Day I
crushed Alpha Sig, 82-29, Waters
I defeated Sig Ep 56-51, Day II
beat Delta Sig., 57-49, and
Hackney II whipped Waters II.
59-38.
Day I was led by Skeeter
Whitlow with 21 points and
Spencer Eaks with 15 points.
Ray Wilkins scored 12 points for
manage 22 points the first half,
while Citadel scored 38 to keep
the game out of reach. But the
Bulldogs did hit for 40 more
points in the second half, after
getting adjusted to the zone
press.
“We were not looking for the
zone press, and it took us a half
to make the necessary ad
justments,” Pomeroy explamed.
Citadel’s halfcourt zone, a 1-
3-1 form, kept the Bulldogs from
getting the ball inside to center
Allen Searson, that only
managed two points for the night
and eight rebounds.
Forward Robbie Cook was the
highest scorer for both teams,
with 22 points. Cook played a
very good offensive game and
pulled the Bulldogs back up in
the second half.
Forwards Richard Battle and
Ron Bowen scored eight and
seven points respectively. While
in the rebound department
Battle brought in six, with
Bowen bringing down nine.
Commenting on the Bulldogs
offense Pomeroy explained,
“We were just not able to work
the ball inside against them.
Their defense was spread so that
we were not allowed to play our
game, Pomeroy concluded.
The Citadel finished with a 46
shooting percentage, while the
Bulldogs hit for 14 per cent.
On commenting on the score,
Coach Pomeroy felt that it was
not indicative of the way the
game was played. For the
Bulldogs played an excellent
offense the second half, where as
the difference came in the first
half when the Bulldogs could not
work against their defense.

Puppies Split Week
By LEIGH TAYLOR
The girls basketball teams lost
a heart breaker to undefeated
Peace College last week, but not
before the Puppies chewed up St.
Andrews 56-33. Their record now
stands at 1 and 3.
ACC vs. St. Andrews
Butch Cassidy and the Sun
dance Kid, alias Debbie Purvis
and Jackie Twisdale, robbed St.
Andrews of victory by com
bining for 28 points. “Pistol
Purvis” led the team scoring
again with an assortment of
corner and close range shots.
Meanwhile her trigger-happy
partner scored thirteen points
with such deadly accuracy that
she hit the bull’s eye 5 out of 5
times and went 3 for 4 at the foul
line. “Typhoon Twisdale” not
only caused a turmoil for St.
Andrews on offense, but she
raked in 8 carooms off the
fiberglass to boot.
Atlantic Christian’s defense
led by Jackie Twisdale, was
helped by the tenacious play of
Connie “Hawk” Hines and Joan
Adams, Connie and Joan are
reliable on their constant
defensive aggressiveness, and
their relentless pressure caused
numerous turnovers for the
inept St. Andrews team. Kathy
Davenport picked off 7 rebounds
to rank second. The girls could
do no wrong as Coach Mewborn
inserted several subs; an
example was Darlene Etheridge
who grabbed 5 miscues and
added 6 points to the scoring
total.
Little can be said about St.
^drew’s team who suffered
trough the Bubonic Plague
Bestrice Woods was the only
survivor with 16 points.
ACC vs. Peace
On Thursday the 24th un
defeated Peace College payed a
visit to the Dog House to take on
the powerful Puppies. Coach
Mewborn’s troops almost pulled
off a Notre Dame upset as the
outcome hinged on the final
minute of play. Unfortunately
for the Wizards of Wilson, Peace
came out on top with a 59-53 win.
The setback was hard to take
because the ACC girls played
brilliantly throughout the see
saw battle.
ACC got the opening tap, but
failed to score as Debbie Purvis
missed from her favorite corner
spot. Peace managed to connect
offensively and it looked like a
runaway, but Purvis moved
closer to the hoop and made an 8
foot jumper. ACC’s defense
tightened up as Connie Hines
stole the ball and completed a
snowbird. Peace came right
back with a bucket via of a
fastbreak. As Hines and Joan
Adams brought the ball in
bounds, Peace changed tactics
and applied a zone press, but it
proved not too effective as the
Puppies scored. The two teams
traded baskets before the first
quarter ended in favor of Peace.
Clutch foul shooting helped
Peace in the early part of the
second quarter, but Debbie
Purvis’ superlative shooting
brought the fans to their feet.
Moving back to the end of the
rainbow, “Pistol Purvis”
pumped in four precisioned
points. The Puppies stole an
errant Peace pass and the
“Pistol” did her thing again. The
momentum changed to the
advantage of ACC, and Peace’s
5-0 win streak looked in danger.
Joy Williams of Peace hit her
field goal try, and the visitors
were back in business. The
Puppies got the ball, and Purvis
was ready to operate again.
Three straight times she cut
loose, and three straight times it
was Swish City. Finally the
exciting first half ended nil:
ACC savorning a 30-29 lead.
The 3rd quarter was a replic

fought doggedly to break a*i)
Peace went back to their prts
and this time it caused frair
turnovers by ACC. Offensiva;
Purvis was helped out by Jacfc

With Purvis sitting the bene
