Nine Lettermen To Open Season
tjM
-
with the opening game less
than a week away, the soccer
team’s afternoon practice ses
sions have taken on a new
seriousness and Intensity,
Coach Flackney has his squad
divided into offensive and de
fensive units, each with their
own regimen and drills, work
ing with passionate detail on the
fine points of the game. At one
goal, Coach McGee fires shot
after shot at goalie Hannas,
loosening Joints and steadying
nerves. At the other goal, Al
bers, Welch and St. John weave
their way downfleld twenty
times, perfecting passes and
shots. It Is obvious that every
one’s mind Is on the upcoming
season, and with the material
the Knights have this year lij’s
going to be a good one.
The squad shapes up well so
far: the front line consists of
Insides Albers and Welch, and
a variety of wings. Returning
from last year are Ralph Nes
bitt and Randy Wellford, tut
they will have plenty of help
with newcomers Bert St. John,
■Mac Molas, and John Daniels.
All are good ball handlers, and
are quick. Welch and Albers
are imcomparable working tte
middle, and with the new scor
ing potential on the wings tli>
Knights can look forward to
much Improved offense.
THIKU Vl;AH MA.N Gray Clark will open next Tuesday’s game
against trksine f ollege in Due West, S. C., at the halfback
spot.

The Letterman’s Club has
spent this week Initiating its
newest memliers (in case you
hadn't noticed), and apparently
the new leadership of the club
has made the once questionable
practice of initiation a re
latively enjoyable event. The
tnltiees have mustered at the
crack of dawn each morning to
enjoy breakfast together, and
close each day with a couple of
hours of fun and games devised
by the lettermen. The letter
men are greeted cordially if not
lovingly by their charges all day
long, and the new aspirants to
the club wear a special identify
ing article of clothing at all
times, proclaiming their sup
port for athletics. Some of the
games the initlees play Included
kissing the Knight, stuffing the
circfe, a scavenger hunt and
countless Instances ofwalk-on-
the-water. After a week of thus
proving their loyalty and
stamina, the initees will become
full members of the club, and
earn the right to inflict the
same atrocities on the next
batch of new letterwlnners.
Tomorrow night the new club
members will celebrate their
survival with a party off cam
pus, and be officially welcomed
to the club. All in all, to quote
president Jan Bartlett, “It’s
been so successful I don’t know
what to say”.
RECENTLY NAMED CO-CAPTAINS for the soccer squad this
season are Yank Albers (left) and Ken Pritchard.
Thincladsmen Open Season:
Acquire Two Female Managers
The cross country team re
cently acquired two managers
of the female variety, the
misses Sandra Webbere and
Nancy Nicholson. The girls per
petuate a tradition of sorts
established here last year by
one Sharon Webber, who man
aged the varsity wrestling team
all season and served as a con
siderable morale booster.
Sandra and Nancy perform
countless managerial chores,
including keeping times, tend
ing the medical needs of the
runners, rubbing dpwn sore
calves, thighs, etc. Needless to
say, the girls boost the squad’s
morale considerably, and which
team on campus needs it more.
Tennis Starts
There will be an organiza
tional meeting Sunday night at
7 in the main lounge of the stu
dent center for all students
Interested In playing varsity
tennis this year. We hope to be
gin fall practice next week, and
If you haven’t picked up a racket
all summer, now is the time to
get out and start loosening up.
The first soccer game of the
season is Sept. 24 at Ersklne,
followed by a conference game
the following Saturday (28th) at
Wesleyan. .Make plans now to
drive to Rocky Mount for Uiat
game, since, as Coach Ilanckey
points out. It’s only a 2 hour
and 15 minute drive and well
worth tiie effort to start the
Knights oft right.
The varsity soccer team has
elected seniors Kenny Prit
chard and Vank Alljers co-
captains for the 1968 season.
Toussalnt L'Ouverture was

The nucleus of the halfback
situation is basically unchanged
from last season. Co-Captain
Ken Pritchard will again per
form at center half, with Gray
Clark and Hamp Sewell doing
the legwork on the outside. New
to the team this year are Chris
Johnson, Henry Dufek and Dave
Van Pelt, all freshmen, and
longtime SA athletes Terry Jay-
work and Paul Szumelda.
All the fullbacks are return
ing and will also be helped out
by several new men. It looks
like Colby, Brewbaker and
workhorses Al Thompson and
Jim Snyder in the backfield,
helped out by track stars Phil
Blundell and Dave Rothwell.
The defense will further be
bolstered by Fred Olert, Jan
Bartlett and Jim Womeldorf,
and it appears likely that Craig
Hannas will start at goalie.
All in all, it would appear that
SA has more man power this
year than ever before in its
history. Many of the freshmen
will start, and Captain Albers
should trade goals with Wolch
all season long. If Hannas comes
anywhere near his potential he
will make All-American again,
and it looks like a very stingy
group in the backfield. Thehalfs
are plentiful and strong, and the
whole team is in top physical
shape, or my name isn’t Coach
McGee. It is going to be SA’s
year, and Coach Hackney ex
presses the team’s sentiments
when he hopes for loyal and
enthusiastic student support all
season. I have a feeling they are
going to deserve it.
Intramural
Football Opens
October 9th
Men’s intramurals are in full
swing with volleyball leading
the action, and ping pong slated
to begin September 30. Slgn-up
sheets are in the individual
dorms, and dorm managers are
recruiting all available bodies
for the upcoming tilts. If you are
a supersplker or wield a fancy
paddle, rise to the support of
your dorm’s teams. For the
real he-men among us, foot
ball is less than a month away.
October 9 marks the start of
the practice game and the sea
son opener is the 14th. With a
considerable influx of healthy
freshmen, the MRA looks for
ward to a great season and many
acts of heroism on the fields.
Extra added attractions of this
season’s intramural offerings
are the annual cross country
meet on October 2, and the
ever popular Dean’s Cup Boat
Race on Lake Ansley C. Moore
to be held on Parents Day, Oct.
5. If your posterior is getting
calloused from sitting too much,
go find your dorm manager and
sign up for one or all of your
intramural teams; we guarantee
satisfaction or your money
back.
