Where’s our support? That is the big question in the Sportr
Department and the baseball team are asking today. Why wont
the students support them? We’ve got an exciting team who
with a few breaks going their way would have won all but one
of their games. Certainly they deserve much better support.
Also there seems to be a defeatist attitude on the campus
as regard to our intercollegiate teams. Everyone takes it for
granted that we are going to lose every game we Pl^Y- But
YOU don’t realize how good the team is until you see them
play and most of you haven’t. This defeatist attitude is no
fair to Coach Ollis and his Knights. They dont like it and
it’s harder to play when you know everyone thinks you haven
got a chance. So this attitude is no excuse and unfair. ^
Some of you claim you know nothing about baseoalL This
excuse has been used by many especially the girls. What is
wrong with learning something about it- It doesn t take a brain
to learn. Soon you will find yourself catchmg the ittle things
that means the difference between winners and losers. You
will thrill to the good and great plays, and believe me the
Knights make their share of them- They have got good defense
pitching, and hitting seems to be shaping up now. The be.t
way to learn is to go to the game. .
Another excuse is lack of transportation. This excuse holds
UD to a great extent with games away. But here at home its
no excuse. We play at Legion Field and have bus transporta
tion to and from the ball park just like we did during the
basketball season. You can hop in the bus for tjie
and see some great ball games and have a great time. Many
of your friends have cars. Get a gang of your friends and go
to the games. That is the best way to go! Man, the fun you
can have together.
We realize that some may have classes on the afternoon
when we play, but not that many! Visiting teams have com
mented on the lack of support which they think prevails at
St Andrews. This type of reputation throws a bad hght on fat
Andrews, its coaches, teams, athletic department; but most of
all on the student body. No one wants that kind of a reputa-
*^°’^'to appreciate how hard Coach Ollis works, you have^ to
see him. He has put hours into this team trying to build a
winner. He must be the hardest working coach on this cam
pus The boys say they have yet to have a coach who works
like he does. And the results are really showing now. It’s getting
better each game.
Now is the time for us to start doing our part and go
to the games. Next Sat., April 21, we play High Point here at
Legion Field. I hope that we can see a lot of you students
there cheering on the Knights. It is about time we let them
know that we are behind them all the way regardless of the
outcome. Remember one thing: whole hearted support can do
much for everyone, especially the team. They won’t lose in front
of a crowd yelling for them. Come on out to the ball park!

Ef iorls Shown By
Baseball Team
The Knights of St. Andrews
played their 4th game of the
season on Tuesday, April 10 in
Laurinburg against Pembroke
State College.
The Knights displayed one of
their best offensive efforts of
the season, but could not stop
the leaks in their defensive ef
forts. The Knights collected at
least one hit per man as they
unleashed a 17 hit attack
against the Pembroke pitchers.
On defense, the Knights were
guilty of a few miscues that led
to a 3 run Pembroke inning
that broke a tie and allowed the
visitors to win 10 to V. Gabe
Crosby pitched a strong game
for the Knights and Von Settle-
myer, Knight catcher, had 3
hits in as many times at bat
to lead the offensive fireworks.
St. Andrews has completed
its schedule with Pembroke for
this year and has 10 games re
maining.

Tennis Team
Wins First
Hatch 4-1
For the first time, in a his
toric moment last Friday, a St.
Andrews varsity team won its
opening game. The Knights
tennis team soundly defeated
Atlantic Christian College 4-1.
The Atlantic Christian Team
arrived short one member; this
accounting for there only being
six matches. The doubles
matches were not played due to
inclement weather (the wind),
and the hopelessness of the At
lantic Christian cause by that
time.
Parks Garrison, the Knight’s
number one man, was up
against a superior player and
lost 6-0, 6-0, and Larry Varner
played a close match, winning
6-4, 6-4. The remainder of the
matches were won easily by the
Knights, as Johnny McLaurin
won 6-3, 6-2, Bill Campbell, 6-1,
6-3, and Fred Thomas 6-1, 7-5.
Coach Rufus Haclmey ex
presses considerable optimism
concerning the tennis team’s
chances for a successful sea
son, especially in their next
match to be played against Ca
rolina Wesleyan today.
