Basketball Practice Begins
By DAVID BETTS
The 1965.66 basketball team
has already begim preliminary
practices. For two weeks, start
ing in September, the team ran
two and a half miles every
morning and practiced in the
afternoon five days a week. Out
of the twenty.two bo>s that went
out, thirteen still remain on the
team. Only two were cut, and
the rest just quit. The team
will again be guided this year
by Coach Spencer S. Boyd, with
the assistance of Coach Gerald
Griffin. The following Is an in-
terview with Coach Boyd by the

height. We hope to overcome
this disadvantage by putting speed
into the offense and defense, and
styling play so that the players
will .be aggressive and have more
desire in their play.”
QUESTION: Who are the re-
turning players from past. St.
Andrews teams?
ANSWER: “Captains of this
year’s team are two senior
lettermen, Larry Taylor and
Roger Dixon. Larry, a 5' 11”
guard, has improved his playing
each year, and as a junior scored
thirteen points a game average,
and led the team in assists,
Roger, a 6’ 5” center, scored
twelve points a game and led the
team in rebounding last year.
We will count heavily on these
boys this year,”
"Other returning lettermen
are Van Taylor, a 6* 0” guard,
who averaged nine points a game
last season. Van could add a
great deal, especially if he is
more aggressive,”

St, Andrews second year of
soccer is encountering difflcul.
ties. Injuries, scholastic pro
blems and lack of team effort
have hurt the soccer team.
After romping over Wilming
ton College by a score of 4-0,
St. Andrews booters traveled to
Pfeiffer College to meet the Fal,
cons. Pfeiffer, an experienced
soccer power, rolled over the
Knights with a 12-0 victory. St.
Andrews proved no match for
the nearly professional line of
Pfeiffer.
St. Andrews learned from its
lesson as it traveled to Rocky
Mount to take on Wesleyan Col-
lege. This game showed the po-
tential of the team in a united
effort as they downed Wesleyan
by a score of 11-1. Yank Albers
led the scoring attack with four
goals. WeUs BIU taUled with
three, while Bob Welch kicked
in two, Jim Mathews and Bryan
Weger had one goal each.
Penalties proved the differ
ence as St. Andrews lost to
Campbell College 3-1. St. An
drews scored early when Yank
Albers scored on a head shot
with an assist from Bob Welch.
The lead soon changed hands
though as Campbell scored two
penalty kicks in quick succes
sion. A third penalty kick end
ed the scoring and the game.
The Wildcats of Davidson
managed to slip by the Knights
with a 4-2 victory. St. Andrews
played a strong game all the
way and scored two penalty
kicks at the toe of Yank Albers.
However the last minute surge
of the Knights failed to score
and another loss was recorded
for St. Andrews.
The Davidson game lacked the
hard hitting toe of Wells “Pig
my” Bill. Injuries stopped Bill
while curtailing the activity of
Bob Welch, Howie Flierl, and
Bob Coy.
St. Andrews plays Campbell
College this Friday afternoon in
their second meeting of the sea
son. If the team works together
and the injuries heal another
St. Andrews victory should be
in the making.
