PAGE EIGHT A SPORTS SHORT BY ED BUTTERWORTH An Intricate part of every athletic team is the secondary unit, the unglorified athlete who participates seldom, vice Is invaluable. Team depth is often the fac or ^ P . a championship team, for without a secondary unit, too much pressure rests on the starting squad. St. Andrews bowling team, which has always placed first or second in DIAC standings, has displayed outstanding team ep this season. Of its ten man roster, six are averaging better than 170 in league competition, and the remaining the mid or high sixties. It is comfortable to know that should toe starting players relax, there is an ample reserve unit capaoie of maintaining a team’s chapionship style. St. Andrews bowling team coach Dave McLean has wor e term efforts well this season, for all members have participated in DIAC action. The credit for such a successful season thus far can be attributed to the team’s depth. Secondary men (.those who have not bowled enough league games to qualify for DIAC top ten bowlers) Judson Duffee (173), Joe Junod (17p, Kim Vohs, Randy Wolfe, Tim Tate, and George Ducker, all of ^honi are averaging in the' I60’s, have provided the momentum that has placed St. Andrews in a plausible record breaking situation. Should this reserve unit carry out its support this Saturday in the final match against the College of Charleston, St. Andrews will not only capture the DIAC competition, but will perhaps, with a clean sweep, set an unprecedented 34-6 DIAC record.

Lead- Ing the scoring were John Btir- chill with a 213 game and Ed Butterworth with a 554 set. St. Andrews presenjly car ries a 30-6 team record, with a final match this Saturday at home against the College of Charleston. Charleston has a 26-10 record and needs a four, point sweep against St. Andrews: to tie for DIAC champions. The Varsity Bowling team will journey to Rocky Mount, North Carolina and N.C. Wes leyan College to compete in the 5th Annual Dixie Conference Bowling Tournament. The keg lers from Lynchburg College will be defending the title they captured last year in Lynch burg. THE LANCE mi THURSDAY, FEB. 15, It is tournament time again, and the Knights of St. Andrews are out for blood after an im pressive season-ending win over Lynchburg College last Friday. The vengeance minded SA squad came back from a 9 point halftime deficit to out class Lynchburg, 77-74, before a rather sparse crowd of SA supporters. Lynchburg cai^ out shooting a devastating 60% for the first half, and coupled with a tight zone defense that kept the Knights far outside, kept SA unbalanced enough that they could shoot only 30% for the half. Unable to penetrate Lynch burg’s defense, SA could only fire from far outside, and Ken GREDLEIN MOVES IN THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY Presents PETER BROOK S MOTION PICTURE VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY STAGE PRODUCTION MPEmmuM iijKAf* Ammm Of mti'PAnLnxH w / uHm m by PETER WEISS COLOR by DeLuxe Released thru UNITED ARTISTS Now Playing!

SA could not seem to ge in position to rebound for much of the half, and this too was to Lynchburg's advantage, as they completely controlled the first half. The Knights never stopped hustling, but at the buzzer Lynchburg had shot their way to a 44-35 lead. However, as is becoming typical of Boyd’s Commandos, the second half was a different story. SA went to a full court press shortly after the half began, perhaps with memories of Greensboro’s press last week, and forced several turnovers on which the Knights were able to capitalize. As usual, the principal thei- ves were McGinnis, Gredlein and Starling, and with this in spiring example of excellence for Christ the Knights found the range and began pouring In buckets from all over the court. Individual performances were noteworthy at this point; Madman Phil Blundell almost broke up the game with a 9 polnt-6 rebound splurge late in the game that set the pace for a frantic ending. Decisive in the outburst that put SA ahead was Gary Gred- lein’s 9 points in the second half, and Steve Litchford’s well-timed 3 in the final minute and a half of play. Hannas, the Jersey comet, was all over the place again, getting 24 points and 9 rebounds to lead the Knights in both de partments, as he did all sea son, ending with a 17.1 average and 11 rebounds a game. His personal highs for the season were a 38 point performance against Wilmington Jan. 16 and a 26 r.b. night against Char leston Jan 30. With the Dixie Conference tournament starting Thursday SA should definitely be consi- dered in the running. The Knights are a better ball club than most in the league and ‘ ‘have traditionally been a tournament team” according to Athletic Director Rufus Hack- ney. Mr. Hackney also comment- ed that we would be consider, ed a dark horse in the tour- nament, “but with a home court advantage and with ENTHUS- lASTIC STUDENT SUPPORT SA just might pull some upsets.” The semi finals games w'ui be played tonight at 7 and 9 p.m. with Greensboro seeing its first action in the nightcap against the winner of the SA- Wesleyan game. The champion- ship game will be played at 9 p.m. Saturday night, imme diately following the consola tion game.
