Jackson Becomes
ew Security Officer
k. J.H. Jackson of Laurlnburg, N.C., new campus security
pfficer.
St. Andrews welcomes Mr. J.
H. Jackson as the new Campus
Security Officer.
Both Mr. Jackson and his
wife, Geneva, are native North
Carolinians. Mr. Jackson is
originally from Greensboro while
his wife is from Asheville.
Mr. Jackson had served
for twenty^ve years with the
North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Besides his usually capacity as
patrolman, he worked with va
rious boys’ auto clubs and in
school safety programs.
The Jacksons moved to Laurin-
burg 13 years ago fromWinston-
Salem. Last year, Mr. Jackson
left the patrol and begun work
ing in the nursery and landscape
business.
Mr. Jackson said that since
his adoption of his new adop
tion of his new position on Feb
ruary 1, his already good im
pression of St. Andrews has been
magnified. He finds the St. And
rews students to be one of the
finest groups of young people he
has seen, and is very enthused
about the challenge of workii^
with college student. His posi
tion, he feels, is to protect the
students and to see that present
rules are enforced not to stifle
good fun. Mr. Jackson wants
everyone to feel free to caU on
him.
Dixon, Saleeby, L. Taylor, Starling, and Ferguson huddle for
final game with Lynchburg, Lynchburg beat St. Andrews 104-
94.
Blue Tops UNC-C
Downs W esly an 86-73
Last week the Knights of St.
Andrews surprised a great num.
ber of people when they reached
the finals of the D. I. A. C. bas-
ketball tourney against Lynch,
burg, only to lose to them 104.
94.
In the opening night the boys
trounced the Charlotte 49ers by
a score of 108-66. Against Wes.
leyan, in the semifinals, our team
upset the first place team^ in the
conference, 86-73.
At the end of the Charlotte
game, the official records
showed three tournaments re.
cords broken by St. Andrews,
team score - 108 points, most
field goals made • 46, and most
shots attempted - 86.
Brian Ferguson, Jim Salee-
by, and Vann Taylor lead the scor.
ing attack in the opening game
with 25, 21, and 15 points res-
pectively. After Coach Spencer
Boyd removed his five starters
from the game, the substitutes
had no trouble in keeping up the
ferocious scoring. Defensively,
the Knights opened the game
with a regular press which up.
set Charlotte’s offense. Soon
before the end of the first half
they moved into a zone, which
they movod better than they had
all year.
With spirits high, the team
moved against Wesleyan the fol
lowing night. Much to their sur
prise, the Bishops found them-
selves on the short end of the
rope as the final horn sounded.
The scoring, for the second
straight night, was well distri-
buted. Larry Taylor was high
with 19 points and Vann Taylor
followed him with 18.
Don Hines, star center of Wes.
leyan, found himself with no field
goals at the end of the first half.
Reason - Roger Dixon. Playing
Hines man to man, Dixon com
pletely thwarted Hines’ scoring
attack. Roger set a St. An
drews rebounding record with
22, previously held by himself
and Benny Brockwell, former
star for St. Andrews.
So the Knights moved Into the
finals. They met head on with
Lynchburg, lead by the greatest
single scoring threat that the
D. I. A. C. has probably ever
seen, Wayne Proffitt. Brian
Ferguson was given the task
of containing the Lynchburg star.
He did a fine job but got himself
Into foul trouble early In the
game and had to ease the pres
sure on Proffitt, The Hornets
quickly took advantage and moved
into the lead at half time, 56-42,
In the second half, Ferguson,
Larry Taylor, Vann Taylor, and
Guy Starling fouled out, leaving
Dixon the only starter remaining
In the game, Jim Shaw and Har
lan Forbes did a fine job In sub.
stltutlon but the Hornets had built
up too great a lead to be over
come In the closing minutes.
According to Ferguson It was,
“A great team effort throughout
the whole tournament,” Coach
Boyd whipped the boys Into ex
cellent physical shape the week
before the tournament. Playing
on- three consecutive nights the
boys’ endurance had to be In tip
top shape. Mentally, the whole
team was “up.” The team greatly
appreciated all the support given
the team, especially In the last
game.
LOST ALL RECRUITS
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - The
Confimied Bachelors’ Club at
Auburn University appears to be
fighting a losing battle against
the lure of matrimony. "This
could be the beginning of a great
movement.” lamented club
founder Doug Jones of Atlanta,
Ga., “except for the fact that
we can’t keep our members.” The
club started with four members -
and at last count they were the
only ones left in it.
