THURSDAY, MARCH 7
THE LANOT
By JOE JUNOD
As th§ campus focused Its
attention upon the recent
heroics of the basketball team,
another squad was quietly drill
ing In anticipation of their up
coming schedule. The baseball
team, under the auspices of
Gerald Griffin, now in his
second year as head coach,
has been practicing since the
first day of classes this se
mester,
Wingate Junior College
traveled to Laurlnburg on Tues
day to play In a scrimmage
game with the Knights. The re
sult was gratifying for the SA
squad.
The defense was sharp. The
outfield has good speed with
Kell Gay in centerfleld, Tom
Thorn In right, and Irwin Nort-
ham In left. Gay is expected to
patrol the center spot with the
ability he displayed last season
that won for him the 1967 MVP
Award in Baseball.
Third base is open but the
remainder of the infield is tight
Leroy Broach and Jimmy Tim
mons, the Florence twosome,
cover the shortstop and second
base spots as well as any li.
this area. Broach’s explosive
arm, coupled with Timmons’
glove and accuracy have given
the two South Carolinians a
reputation in the area for
executing double plays. Last
season Broach handled many
grounders deep in the hole at
short and threw out potential
runs with his cannon arm. Com
pleting the double play com
bination is John Everett. As a
glove man at first base he has
obvious, if not sometimes
latent, talent. From the view of
things on Tuesday it looks as
though Glenn Huntermark or
Wayne Wise will handle the hot
corner.
Talent abounds in many po
sitions but nowhere is there as
much concentrated as at the
catcher's spot. Only two men
are competing for starting
honors but both are experienced
at the backstop position. Jim

Snyder started for the Knights
in 1967, and anyone who followed
the team last year can attest
to the second half surge of Sny
der’s that carried the squad to
an excellent second half mark.
The Memphis meteor has a bad
knee and is a questionable star
ter in the opener against Pfeif
fer College on March 13. He
caught two steady innings
against Wingate and collected
one of St. Andrews scattered
four hits.
Gary Ball is the other ball
player at the catcher's position.
Ball has a strong bat, which
will prove a big asset, and a
powerful, but sometimes wild,
throw to second base. Against
Wingate, Ball performed well
behind the plate and at bat.
After striking out against the
top pitcher on the Wingate team,
Ball laid heavy wood on a fast
ball and lined a 350 foot shot
right to the center-fielder.
The mound staff is the
strongest ever assembled in re
cent years. Former All-Ameri
can and Dean of the St. An
drews pitching staff, Stu Dod
son, is firing with his usua;
confidence. He did not hurl
against Wingate but Dodson Is in
fine shape physically and I ex
pect that the Virginia fireballer
will turn in an outstanding sea
son.
Kemp Gregory is back after
one season and his bag of tricks
is even bigger than last season.
If Gregory can control his
roundhouse curveball and
knuckle ball, the Durham im
port should subdue many of his
opponents. His fast ball is ef
fective when it crosses the plate
at the knees but against Win
gate he could not bring it down
and consequently got hit real
hard in his first inning.
Gary Miller is back for his
fourth season. Miller, if he
gains greater confidence in his
ability should turn in an im
proved record over 1967. Doug
Adams, Rick Peters, and Steve
Lltchford round out the pitching
staff.
St. Andrews plays twenty-
one games; the first seven are
at home. The home games give
Griffin’s men a definite ad
vantage. However, the first four
of the seven game home stand
are with Pfeiffer (2), Pembroke
College, and High Point Col
lege. Wilmington is also on the
schedule for two games. With
a solid mound performance all
season, several men batting
over .300, and some dependable
play in the field, I see a 14-7
(.666) record for the season.
Miss Lynn McClaughry, who
suffered an eye injury while
visiting in Winston-Salem Dor
mitory last Sunday, is still a
patient at the hospital in Fay

Caught by the camera is Jimmy Timmons, in his third season
of baseball at St. Andrews. Timmons, along with teammates
Leroy Broach and John Everett make up the key double play
combination.

The Ides of March mark the
opening of the 1968 VarsityTen-
nis team, coached by Benny
Brockwell. The netmen return
to Buies Creek to defend the
Campbell Invitational Title they
won last year.
As of today, Harry Kraly is
playing in the number one spot
followed by Guy Starling in the
second spot. Kraly, in his first
season last year, handled the
third spot all season behind
Vann Taylor who graduated and
Larry Mullins is, at present,
not competing.
Transfer student Richard
Coyle is swinging surprisingly
good racket and is high on the
ladder in competition for the
top spots. Chuck Hardesty, from
Kingsport, Tennessee, is play
ing well according to Coach
Brockwell who is looking
forward to a good season. He
is well pleased with the squad’s
progress.
Bob Brewbaker, who played
in the number six spot last
year, has moved up a notch to
the fifth slot and is expected
to team with Scott McCrea in
one of the three doubles
matches.
McCrea, Fred Faulkner, and
transfer student Rod Moore are
battling for the sixth spot in
singles.
Following the Campbell In
vitational, the netters will meet
East Carolina University on the
18th of March, Pfeiffer Col
lege on the 20th, and Methodist
College on the 22nd.
Braves Top
WCU 93-76
Upset has been the trade word
of basketball at St. Andrews
In recent weeks. SA upset
Greensboro and Lynchburg on
their way to the DIAC Title.
Tuesday night Pembroke CoK
lege outclassed Western Caro-
llna University 93-76 to reach
the finals of the District 26
playoffs.
1800 fans packed the gym
nasium as two men fought a
hard personal battle. Henry Lo
gan, the All-American from
WCU matched talent with Pem
broke’s Joe Gallagher. Logan
scored 36 points for the losers
which is below his season
average of 37 per game.
Gallagher dumped in 35 as Pern-
broke played near perfect
basketball.
Logan, who stands 5’10”,
scored his first two points when
he outjumped Gallagher on a
rebound and then tipped the bail
in for two points. Logan, who
dribbles through his legs when
he brings the ball downcourt,
handles the ball exceptionally
and is the playmaker of the
WCU squad.
Pembroke faces Guilford
College in the finals of Dis-
tict 26. Guilford topped
Greensboro College 80-66.
