Mlantic Christian’s soccer

resurgence at High Point Satur
day afternoon by taking the
SAIA District 26 championship
on the strength of a Sharhabil
Humieda penalty kick, 1-0 over
the panthers.

in the second half when Habil. a
freshman from Khartoum,
Sudan, was his inside the pealty
box. setting up the telling blow
in an otherwise defensive strug
gle, similar to the Bulldog’s 3-0
overtime win over these same
Panthers on October 13.
■Habil had been pushed
around five or six times earlier
in the match,” observed coach
Smith after the contest, “and it
was about time that they (the
officials) called it. He had just
gotten inside the box when the
man pushed him. After that, the
guysjustshut them down. I told
them that if High Point was
going to score, then they would
have to score through eleven
men. So we fell back and played
defense for the rest of the
match. The guys held them off
for thirty-three minutes
straight. Any time that you can
play defense and keep the ball
out of your net for thirty
three minutes, you’ve played
great soccer, and that shows
that you can play with any
body.”
The statistics displayed the
defensive play demonstrated by
both teams on the field. AC held
off the Panthers by allowing
only 12 shots in the match,
compared to 11 for AC. High
Point also held the upper hand
in free kicks 17-14, corner kicks
4-2, goal kicks 9-7, but trailed in
saves, 12-8. The shutout over
the Panthers was the fourth
straight for AC, who have not
allowed a Panther goal in the
last ten periods of play.
But AC did not have to play
CARE Food Crusade
"This fall, with hunger en
demic in developing countries
around the world, we are
launching the CARE Food
Crusade to provide nourishing
food for more than 31 million
hungry people, mostly children,
in Africa, Asia, Latin America
and the Middle East, “Dr.
Philip Johnston, Executive
Director of the international aid
and development organization,
announced.
In an appeal to the public, Dr.
Johnston set a $7 million goal,
"to meet this urgent need.”
Explaining that the CARE
package has expanded over the
years to include self-help devel
opment and medical aid through
CARE/MEDICO, he stressed
that “giving food to victims of
poverty and disease remains our
major task.”
Pointing out how CARE
stretches its aid,^ Dr. Johnston
said, “As little as $5 provides
600 nutritious biscuits to school
children. Only $15 supplies a
nourishing bowl of porridge for
300 school children for a week,
and often this supplemental
food makes a significant dif
ference in a child’s health and
survival as well as learning
ability.”
Most of the food will go to
needy children at schools, hos
pitals, health clinics, day care
centers, and other institutions,
many of which CARE helped
communities build. Malnour

“We won this one for the
Greek, and I don’t mean
Jimmy.” Coach Smith was
referring to Nick Pallas, who
was making his final appearance
in the friendly confines of
Fleming Stadium Tuesday night
against Elon. Pallas had been
KOed in a match at Elon earlier
in the season, in a 5-1 defeat.
On this night, AC proved super

The Bulldogs overcame a
poorly officiated contest and a
physical “Fighting Christian”
team to advance into the semi
finals of the District 26 Tourna

AC dominated the first half
action but. as did Elon came up
with nothing to show for its
forty-five minute effort. In the
second half Brad Dixon tixik a
feed from Willie Diamond and
put the Bulldogs up by a 1-0
margin. Elon suddenly pickcd
up the momentum and pressur
ed the AC net relentlessly.
Finally Luis Pages combined on
a pass to John Belechak that
enabled Elon to even up matters
at one each. On the goal. Kadir
Donmez barely missed clearing
the ball out of the area, but
almost was not good enough, as
the Bulldogs found out. How
ever. Donmez and Dale Swagler
bounced back in the second
half’s latter stages to keep the
Fighting Christians at bay. AC
then regained the momentum,
and with 3;07 to play in the
match, Mike George fired a pass
to Sharhabil Humieda, who
outmanuevered the Elon goalie
and gave AC the winning mar
