Wrestlers Lose
To EC and ASG
The Knights wrestled East
Carolina Tuesday night, Feb. 6
to a close 18-15 loss. The oppos
ing squad was more experienc
ed and smoother, but they
found a rough opponent, will
ing and able. Although not vic
torious, the Knight turned in
a fine, steady jjerformance.
Diclde Knowles, larry Varner
and Lou Manning won with
pins in their divisions, while
Woody Woodard took his match
on points.
The Knights showed well in
their first home match, and
with a little more competitive
experience should prove a dif
ficult opponent for the rest of
the teams on their schedule.
On Friday night, Feb. 9, the
Knights met Appalachian State
at Appalachian. Although the
matmen lost 13-11, they again
turned in an excellent perform
ance. Woody Woodard pinned
his opponent, while Dickie
Knowles and Charlie Yeargan
decisioned theirs.

Romulo’s Speech
(con’t. from page 2)

ination and fredom. Second, the
professed goal for communism
is world domination, which the
U.S. must resist. His final
point was that we are engaged
in a life-and-death struggle with
communism, since the U.S.S.
R.’s plans for world domination
necessarily include overthrow
ing the U.S. This we must also
oppose.
The General next discussed
the question of admitting Red
China to the U.N., and expres
sed his complete opposition to
their admittance. He stressed
that to admit Red China would
be to repudiate the U.N. char
ter which states that a nation
must be peace loving, willing
to undertake its just obliga
tions under the charter, and be
able to do so.
Next Gen. Romulo dealt with
defeats and victories in Am
erican foreign policy in the
past, and spoke of the impor
tance of our maintaining our
present policy of keeping a
perimeter of defense in the
Asian countries, not only for
preservation of freedom there,
but the rest of the world as
well.
He closed his s,peech by giv
ing insight into the mind of
today’s Asia—^how they look at
the U.S.; how they view the
U.S.S.R.; and the vast revolu
tions the Asians are now un
dergoing. It was emphasized
that it is important to keep the
peoples of Asia friendly toward
the West.
All in all I feel that his
speech was informative as
well as interesting. His logic
was sound and his grasp of
the overall Asian situation was
impressive. All who heard him
I believe, were convinced of his
ability as a speaker as well as
of his love of democracy.
St. Andrews wrestlers play
host to Pfeiffer College Friday
afternoon at 4 o’clock in the
Laurinburg High gymnasium.
This will be the fourth match
for the Knights and their sec
ond encounter with Pfeiffer.
The team suffered a 30-7 loss
to the wrestlers from the Meth
odist school Jan. 16. St. An
drews winners were Joe Bish
op, who pinned his opponent,
and Dickie Knowles, who tied
with his foe.
Although the team has not
produced a winning season, the
experience has proven profit
able. Coach William Morgan
says that the primary reason
for starting a wrestling team
the first year of school was to
obtain experience.
The potential of the Knights
is high, for the squad is young,
many of the boys having two
or more years of eligibility.
Team captain Dickie Knowles
was 1958 Virginia State Champ
in the 127 lbs. weight class.
Sophomore Woody Woodard is
team co-captain.
Other members of the squad
include Fleming Jones, fr., 130
lbs.
Charles Yeargan, soph., 157
lbs.
David Carriker, jr., 167 lbs.
Larry Varner, jr., 177 lbs.
Lou Mannings, jr., unlimited.
Jim Arneman, soph., manag
er.
“The wrestling schedule has
been somewhat helter-skelter
this first year,” says Coach
Morgan. “This has been due to
practice being in conflict with
volleyball or some other intra
mural sport.”
The team is lacking in the
lower weight class, which has
made arrangement of matches
difficult.
In March some of the Knights
may attend the National Ama
teur Athletic Union matches in
Raleigh, which will prove
worthwhile to the whole team
in experience gained at the
meets.
Coach Morgan is in hopes
that someone will hurry up
and donate money for the gym
nasium — the writer also hopes
so!
Freshmen are requesting a
small sound-off in this issue,
for an embarrassing situation
has confronted the class and we
feel that the student body
should be aware of it.
On Monday, Feb. 5, a world
famous ambassador boarded a
plane in New York City at 7
a.m. Gen. Carlos Romulo ar
rived in Laurinburg at 4:30
p.m., after having traveled nine
hours, to deliver an eye-open
ing message concerning the
present world situation.
Every St. Andrews student
and faculty member had been
invited to attend the lecture.
In an armory that has a capac
ity of 1,000, only 24 rows were
filled. There was room for 300
more people.
Where were they?
Freshmen made up approxi
mately two-thirds of the audi
ence.
“I wish I had a thousand
tongues and could be multiplied
10,000 times in order to go to
every village and town in the
United States to warn them of
our situation in the world,”
Gen. Romulo said.
It must have been disappoint
ing to this great man when he
looked into the auditorium and
saw it only half filled.
Three hundred citizens lost a
chance to see a clear, unbiased
picture of the United States
from a man who is a reknown-
ed author and who helped draw
up the charter for the United
Nations.
Many people who attended
the lecture felt that the stu
dents of St. Andrews would
have profited from knowing
these facts. It is our hope that
in future extra-curricular pro
grams students will take ad
vantage of the outstanding priv
ileges granted to their college.
Let’s fill up that armory next
time!
Knights Defeat
Georgia State
Friday night, Feb. 9 at the
Laurinburg armory, the
Knights put on their best show
of the season and broke 100 for
the first time this season as
they defeated Georgia State 110
to 104.
The Knights led from the op
ening tap and dominated play
completely until the end of the
second half, when Georgia
State rallied and brought the
score to a tie in the last few
minutes of play. At the clos
ing buzzer it was 97 to 97.
The five minutes overtime
was completely dominated by
the Knights who proceeded to
run away with the opposition
altogether.
The Knights built up a good
margin in the opening minutes
and led all the way with their
flashy guards dominating the
backcourt and their front line
covering both backboards. Bill
Clark, Joe Speaks, and Cecil
Chewning were outstanding in
controlling the boards as they
outfought the opposition at ev
ery turn.
Joe Buckner, leading team
scorer, led all scoring as he
poured in 33 points, hitting
from all parts of the floor. He
was followed in the scoring
;olumn by George Britt and
Chewning with 19 and 18 points
respectively.
