j)ec6ii'-bei jy, I'JoA ■ THE LANC^ l^nicrhts Face Hornets At 8 III.. ^ — "T^ .'./-r ' ; THE LANCE I. First Conference Foe At NG Armory Tonight BY COURTNEY SHIVES St. Andrews basketball Knights hope to get into the win column tonight as they face their first conference foe, the Lynchburg Hornets. Game time is 8;00 in the Laurinburg National Guard Armory, Last year the Knights and the Hornets battled to a draw for the season as the Knights won on their home court but lost on Lynchburg’s court. The Hornets are expected to' have as good if not a better team than they had last year. According to Coach Spencer Boyd, “We will have to play bet ter than we have been playing to beat them. We have been play ing half a ball game and we will need to play more than one- half to win.” In losing their first two games, 105-69 to Campbell and 83-73 to Guilford, the Knights have played very erratic ball, falling behind early in both of these encounters but coming back strong in the second half of each. TEAM SHOOTING OFF Coach Boyd's proteges showed strong scoring potential in two preseason scrimmage games but this potential has not materializ ed thus far in regular play. Gold Keeps Lead With 5-0 Record With half of the Intramural Bas ketball season over, the Gold team has the only perfect record. The Gold is leading the other teams with a record of five wins and no loses. The first game after the holi day was played Tuesday with the Gray beating the Red by 47 to 33. Milton Moore scored 19 points for the Gray and Steve Pitt scored 14 points for the losing Red team. On Wednesday, the Gray played the leading Gold and Green play ed the Blue. The Green and Gold won their games. In the first game. Green down ed the Blue by 51 to 47. Mc- Innis scored 19 points to lead the Green win. Bill Campbell put in 23 points for the Blue. In the second game. Gold came from behind to beat the Gray 39 to 34. Gray was leading at the end of the first half but the Gold edged them out with some fine last minute playing. Leading the Gold’s scoring was Duck Carr with 13 points and “Dawg” Simp son with 12 points. Milton Moore led the Gray team with 14 points. Against Campbell the Knights managed to connect on only 36% of their shots from the floor and against Guilford they could do no better than 34%. Joe Buckner who averaged 24 points per game last year and averaged 45 per game in the preseason scrimmages has been considerably off in his shooting, averaging only 15 points in the first two games. Should Buckner find the range again and if the team plays a whole ball game instead of one- half, the Boydmen should bring home their first victory tonight. Little is known about the Lynch burg team this early in the sea son. They may fast break or they may decide to sit on the ball. In any event it should be an ex citing game.

CL Free Ddirexy and complete, modern Prescription Service By COUNTNEY SHIVES It was the Quakers and the Pres byterians battling it out in an interdenominational contest Tuesday night at the Laurinburg Armory with the Quakers coming out on top by an 83-73 score. The Knights went down to their second defeat in as many starts before a small partisan crowd at their first home game. Guilford built up a 13-point lead in the first five minutes of play and then held on to stave off a late rally by St. Andrews. The Knights played very poorly in the first half and got into foul trou ble early in the game. The first team was unable to find the scor ing range and could not hold down the scoring of the Quakers who were paced by the hot shooting of Dan Kuzma, who hit 37 points for the night. Coach Spencer Boyd pulled the entire first team from the game before ten minutes had elapsed. The second team paced by Larry Taylor’s scoring and Ed Howard’s fine defensive play showed a lot of hustle and managed to keep the Quakers from increasing their lead. At the half the Quakers held a 17 point advantage 43-26. The Knights were an entirely different team after the halftime break. The Quaker’s lead was cut to four points on three different occassions. The St. Andrews ral ly ended abruptly however when four of the starting five went out of the game on fouls in the last five minutes of play.

The hot shooting of George Britt who connected for 16 points and some fine defensive play by Jerry Dawson who stole the ball on several occasions had a lot to do with the Knight’s rally. Joe Buckner was high man for the Knights with 18 and Benny Brock well contributed 13.
