The squad’s re cord now stands at 2-4. Leroy Broach led off the se cond with a single. IrvinNorth- am followed and struck out. Gary Ball popped up to the third baseman. With two down Wayne Wise drew a base on balls. Snyder then got his first hit of the season -- a long shot to right-center field that scored Broach and Wise. Baptist scored in the fifth when a walk followed by two singles by Billy Morris and pitcher Fred Dykes brought in their first run. The visitors tied it in the next Inning when Chuck Cuttino doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and then scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Tony Beauford. With the score 2-2 going into the eighth, Timmons collected his second hit of the game. He moved to third when the Baptist catcher threw wild attempting to stop Timmons stealing se cond. With one out Broach ram med a line drive to the left- flelder who almost picked the ball off his shoestrings but missed, allowing Timmons to cross the plate with the win ning run. Gregory walked only one man as he pitched the full nine innings and struck out eight Baptist batters. Pitcher Dykes of Baptist also went the route, picking up 12 strikeouts while giving up seven hits. Broach leads the SA batsman with a .500 (11-22) average for six games. Timmons carries a .346 average into today’s game with Wayne State University. Irvin Northam dropped to .290 after going 0-4 in the Baptist game Kell Gay also went hit- less in that game and his aver age now stands at .286. St. Andrews collected its first baseball victory of the year with a 6-5 upset over High Point College. Jimmy Timmons was the big gun for the Knights as he went 4 for 5 and scored three runs. Steve Litchford picked up credit for the win after relieving starter Gary Miller with 2 out in the eighth inning. The Knights jumped into a quick lead with three runs in the first inning. After John Linksters Score Victories Over Oberlin And UNC-Charlotte As Seale Leads Field In a four way match with Wilmington College, UNC- Charlotte, and Oberlin College, the St. Andrews golf team emerged with victories over Charlotte (18-0) and Oberlin (14 1/2-13 1/2) while losing by a single point to Wilmington, 9 1/2-8 1/2. The Knights re cord now stands at 3-3. David Seale was medalist for St. Andrews with a 79 on the Scotch Meadows course. Playing in the number one position Seale shutout UNC- C’s Hillen and Oberlin’sKemp- ner while dropping all 3 match points to Bergin of Wilmington, who shot a 76 which was meda list score for the day.

A Simple Athletic Philippic BY SCOTT McCREA Tuesday the St. Andrews track squad defeated the Uni versity of North Carolina at Charlotte in a dual meet by the score of 74 to 71. This is sig nificant for spring sports at SA, for the squad won with only ten men competing in the 15 or 16 events. Ron Tingle won the hundred and the 220 in times of ten flat and 32.2, respec tively. Dave Rothwell won both the 440 and 880, in times of 53.1 and 2;08. David Betts placed second in the mile at 5:16. Pierce Barr won the inter mediate hurdles, at 1:04.6, and took second in the highs. John Price won first in the javelin, with a toss of 164’-41/4”, and second in the pole vault. Phil Blundell captured first in the shot with a throw of 38’-8- 3/4”, and second in the high jump at 5’6”. Kim Vohs and Jim Bouck took second and third in the broad jump with leaps of 18 feet and 17’-71/2”, and Jeff Stonestreet won the dis cus, flinging it 105’-91/2”. Consider now, sports fans of SA, that the Charlotte squad numbered twenty men. Con sider also that the SA team was not always so skimpy, but several members have gone awol for one reason or another, the main reason usually coming out something like “there Is no Interest in track at SA”, Ob viously. For Coach Boyd’s de dicated runners, their victory merely indicates that there is interest, and that they can win even though it means entering only one or two men in each event, and even forfeiting several events each meet. Ten men cannot carry a meet, es pecially when they are out numbered two and three to one in each event. It is to the immense credit of Boyd’s Ten that they did gut it out Tuesday and come up with a tough win. I doubt that they can do it every time, but I imagine they will try anyway. 1 -doubt that they will ever compete be fore a large crowd of SA sup porters, but then I also doubt that it matters to them. The deadline for this year’s Poetry Contest is this Monday, April 1st. The first prize is $50.00 and second prize win ner will receive $25.00. All entries are to be turned into Mr. Ken Kramer, Room 26, by Monday.

Girls’ Basketball Wilmington’s “D” team ended a nip-and-tuck battle for championship honors in girl’s intramural basketball Tuesday night, downing Concord “C" in three overtimes, 36-34. Tied after two overtime periods, the two teams began the third overtime on a “sudden death” basis. Jane Bennett, a- warded two free throws for Wilmington, proceeded to drop both in for the two-point margin that ended the game and gave Wilmington the championship. Both Wilmington and Con cord ended regular season play undefeated in their divisions. Playing a best-of-three cham pionship series, Wilmington edged Concord in the first game, 19-18. Diane Grant for Wil mington and Phyllis Vance of Concord each had eight points to pace their teams. Everett grounded out, Timmons got his first hit of the day, a single. Kell Gay was then hit on the head by High Point’s starter, Ackerman, putting men on first and second.

Tom Thorn hit into a double play to kill any further scoring by the Knights. High Point got into the scoring column in the third Inning with a double, a wild pitch, and a run scoring single by catcher Don Hickey. St. Andrews scored in the fourth and sixth innings and High Point collected runs In the fourth and fifth. The score re mained 5-3 St. Andrews until the eighth inning. Then High Point’s shortstop, Russ Van Felt, slammed Litchford’s first pitch into the gap in right- center for a triple, driving in two runs. The Knights scored what proved to be the winning run in the bottom of the eighth when Timmons singled, moved to second when Gay was walked, stole third and came home when Hickey’s throw to third base went wild. Oberlin C o 11 g e of Ohio handed the Knights their fourth defeat in five games when they scored a come from behind vic tory.
