Page Six THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1978 Dormitories playing flag football by Beverly Bernard Dormitories are playing each other in flag football. Flag football is a freshman at Bennett. This is its first semester at Bennett College, said Vivian L. Fuller, instructor in Health, Phys ical Education and Recreation. Flag football started its season Sept. 9. Some of the immediate re action that came from girls about playing flag football was, “I don’t know,” “maybe,” “I’ll have to think about it” and point blank “NO”!!, said Ms. Fuller. “Though it was quite confusing, we still ended up with the fol lowing teams,” said Ms. Fuller: Player Hall, Reynolds Hall, Barge and Merner Hall, Cone Hall and Pfeiffer Hall. Their standings as of Sept. 29 are as follows; League Standings Won Lost 1 place—Player Hall 4 0 2 place—Pfeiffer Hall 2 1 3 place—Cone Hall 1 2 4 place—Barge and Merner Hall 0 2 5 place—Reynolds Hall 0 3 Ms. Fuller said that all the girls have played extremely well, al though, for some, flag football was a new experience. As of Sept. 29 two weeks were left and “a lot could happen,” said Ms. Fuller. Flag football is similar to regu lar football. The only differences are the game is played with flags, the field is 180 by 80 feet long and a few of the rules and regu lations are different. The object of the game is passing. Ms. Fuller said flag football is played with the same signals as regular football. Scoring is also the same: Touchdown—six points Field Goal—^three points Safety—two points Point after Touchdown — one point There are nine players on the field at one time, but if both teams agree you can go out with seven players, said Ms. Fuller. There will be 10 minutes for each quarter and three minutes for rest between quarters. A toss of the coin decides which team puts the ball in play. Ball in play means the team with the ball kicks it off to start the game in action. The ball is put in play at the beginning of the game, after a touchdown and at the beginning of third quarter. A fumbled ball is dead and be longs to the team that fumbled the ball at the spot where the ball was fumbled. A downed ball is when the opponent has to touch the player carrying the ball with both hands in order for the ball to be called dead. First down is when the team with the ball does not score 10 yards in four plays. Then the ball goes to the oppo nents.

There is also a 15-yd. pen alty for blocking, off-side and pass interference. The officials will include a ref eree, an um-pire and a linesman. Player Hall has been forfeited to twice, because said Ms. Fuller, Reynolds Hall said they didn’t McAuley: volleybaH fakes dedication Team gets new coach by Beverly Rumley Germaine Y. McAuley, from Troy, North Carolina, is the new volleyball coach. McAuley gave several rea sons for accepting the job. First of all, she feels that coaching here will be a good experience. Also, she prefers coaching on the college level rather than the high school level. She said she was also learning about budgeting and traveling. So far, McAuley likes it here and is adjusting to new personalities. The only prob lem that she has run into is the fact that she attends classes at High Point College during the day. By the time she gets here for practice the Business Office is closed and it is hard to communicate with them. Alice Coston sets the ball as Veta Covert gets ready to return it to an opposing Greensboro College team. Photo by Terence Marable McAuley is looking for ward to a good season though she is dealing with a “young and inexperienced team.” Mc Auley says the team is in a “rebuilding” stage. McAuley was a volleyball player for High Point College. She says Bennett girls need to become more competitive and need to be more dedicated. McAuley says, “You have to push yourself to be an effec tive volleyball team.” She also stresses drills, hard work, communication, concentration and most of all dedication. Mc Auley wants her team to come in ready to play and be willing to take what she dishes out. McAuley says if the girls follow her instruc tions and listen to her, these girls will be good. “After all,” she says, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Volleyball team: 1 win, 3 losses After 4 games, the volley ball team has a record of one win and three losses. The team traveled to Gard- ner-Webb for a tri-match competition Sept. 21. Despite the fine play of freshman Portia Dixon and sophomore Veta Covert, the team lost to Gardner-Webb 2-1 and to UNC-Charlotte 2-0. “The lack of floor com munication,” according to sophomore Alice Costin, was one of the reasons for the losses. A large and enthusiastic crowd turned out for the first home game Sept. 28. In a team effort, the Belles beat Greensboro College 3-1. “I was so happy at the support shown by the student body,” said sophomore Veta Covert, who felt the crowd helped them to play better. In the fourth game, Win gate College defeated the Belles at home 3-1 Sept. 29. have enough players and Cone Hall didn’t know they were sup posed to play. Ms. Fuller said, “Player Hall can be beaten if the other teams get their strategy together.” All flag football games will be played on the field behind the gym, Tuesday-Thursday at 5:00 p.m. PLACEMENT RECRUITMENT CALENDAR* Oct. 9 Iowa State University Ames, Iowa 9:00-4:00 Rutgers University, MBA 2:00-5:00 Oct. 11 Dept, of Navy (CAPSO-n) Oct. 18 Proctor and Gamble Cincinnati, Ohio Oct. 24 J.
