Having compiled a 10-2 record, the only defeats have been close ones, 5-4. Losing earlier in the season to Campbell College, the Knights retaliated last Monday by down ing their opponents 6-3. The other loss, to their DIAC com petitors, Charleston College, is being retaliated this afternoon on the Knights home courts. Win or loss this contest, the Knights are top competitors for the con ference title this season. Number two starter, Junior Van Taylor, is undefeated in sin gles competition, having won all twelve of his matches in as many starts. Rick LeGrand, playing in 11 of the 12 matches, has dropped only one, winning 10. Top ranked Larry Mullins has been successful in nine of 12 matches, while fourth ranked Guy ' Starling is holding an eight and three record. Mark Walker, num ber three, has won six and lost six. The doubles combination of Starling and LeGrand is still un defeated, winning eight of eight. Mullins and Terry Jones have lost only two of their nine matches, and Taylor and Walker have been victorious in nine of 12 starts. The DIAC tournament to be held here at St, Andrews on Friday and Saturday, May 6th and 7th, in light of the season’s statistics, should prove to be an interesting battle between the Knights and their Charleston competitors. ♦ * * ♦ The Spring Sports teams have compiled a combined effort of 34 wins and 16 losses through Tuesday of this week, the tennis team (10-2), the baseball team (10-10), the golf team (10-3), and track (4-1). Hubbard Leads Golfers Team Wins Three Over the past two weeks the golf team has continued to win most consistently. In winning the last three out of four matches, Billy Hubbard has solved his problems on the fairway and led the team with rounds of 75 and 78. St. Andrews scored identical victories over Charleston and Lynchburg — 10 1/2-7 1/2. Hubbard and Rich Vanderbloe- men won their matches, Vander- bloemen shooting a 79. Athos Rostan halved his match with John Beard of Charleston and defeated his Lynchburg opponent. Freshman Jim Amburn, play ing in his first match, scored victories over both his adversar ies, Amburn, having a poor front nine, toured the back in an ex cellent one under par, leaving his opponents far behind. Bill Mclnnis and Dave Seale both ran into tough competition. Seale, playing iu the number one spot, was pitted against Thad Vin cent, former South Carolina Jun iors Champion. Vincent shot one under par golf and won his match with Seale. Mclnnis’ opponent from Lynchburg was Cliff Hot 4 Team Race By FLO SMITH As the Men’s Intramural Pro gram enters its final month of competition, there are four teams still in the running for the overall champion. After completion of eight activities. Orange leads the list with 523 points followed closely by Winston-Salem East with 497 points, Kem with 486 points, and Mecklinburg with 473 points. Orange, captained by Charlie Kerley, and Winston-Salem East, c aptained by Buddy E Imore, have been the only two teams to re ceive entrance points in all eight events. The year began with football which was won by Meek. North as they defeated Meek. South in a championship play-off. Meek. North then won the double elimination horeshoe tournament to take a commanding lead in the overall race. The “Animals” (Meek. South) came through in basketball with a victory over Kings Mountain in a playoff to capture that cham pionship. Orange then tooktheir first win of the year by a complete upset in the bowling competition. Don White of K-M won the singles title. Orange tied with Meek. North in the wrestling tourna ment, both tt mtis having the same number of victories. Entrance points were awarded to W-S East and Orange in the bridge tourney and to both W-S teams, Orange and K-M in the Dean’s Cup Boat Races. In the most recent completed activity, W-S East went undefeat ed in the double elimination table tennis tournament, as Yank Albers and Charlie Gugenheimer went undefeated in their singles matches. The doubles team of Rick Johnson and Frank Ligon was also undefeated. The softball season, just start ed, may produce afew surprises. Meek. North and Orange look like the teams to beat, but with a good defense any team could come through with the championship. In a hotly contested game be tween the leaders. Orange squeezed out a 5-4 decision over Meek. North, led by pitchers Bill Mclnnis (Orange) and Bill Moore (Meek. N.), the two teams battled evenly until the seventh inning. In the top of the sixth, a triple by Terry Jones with two men on gave Orange a 4-2 lead. Terry then scored what proved to be the win ning run on a passed baU. In the bottom of the seventh Meek. North fought back with two runs, but with two out Bill Mc lnnis struck out his opposing pitcher to win the game for Orange.
