PAGE FOUR the lance THTTRSDAY. MAY 1. 1969 Bench Talk BY MIKE KEECH It all began on those warm October afternoons of 1968. The name of the game was Carolina tag and Kings Mountain and Mecklenburg quickly renewed their battle for the Intramural championship trophy In overall dorm competition. The Moun taineers, guided by their elusive, veteran field general Bill Jones, peeled off eight straight victories to clinch the football title. On the final day of the sea.son Mecklenburg’s “Cold Machine” ended Kings Mountain undefeated string with a thrill ing sudden death victory. The final standings found Kings Moun tain on top with an 8 and 1 record. Meek, a game behind In second place, followed by Orange and Wlnstor.-Calem. Actually, football had been preceeded by Intramural com petition In volleyball, cross-country, and ping-pong. Meek was victorious In volleyball as Ken McClnnls lead an unsung squad to the title In rrnss-country former varsity harrier Harrv Kraly defeated a large field of contestants to win first place honors for the Mountain. Freshman David Alnsllefinished second In the race as did his dorm, Mecklenburg. Ping-pong again fea tured a one-two finish by Meek and Kings Mountain. The high light of the competition was the antics of Meek’s doubles- duo Steve Bradley and Wayne Wise. The Bradley-Wise com bination left many opponents talking to themselves in dis belief of their Impending defeat. At this stage of the competition Kings Mountain held the overall point lead with 457 points with Meek, second, at 439, Orange In the third spot with 282.5 points, and Winston-Salem last with a total of 201.5. November’s autumn leaves tumbled down as the Intramural scene shifted to action on the hardwoods of the Harris Courts. The teams from Kings Mountain, Mecklenburg, and Winston- Salem opened with a rush. After the smoke from the early competition had cleared, and the winter term was under way the struggle for the basketball title was between none other than Meek and Kings Mountain. Meek, aided by several, come from behind fourth quarter victories, managed to hold off the Moun taineers for the title. Winston-Salem finished third and Orange, hurt by forfeited contests, finished last. The dynamic duo of Pete Garner and Kemper Fitch deserve special recognition for their steller performances as referees, scoreboard operators, and sometimes play by play announcers. Handball, badminton, wrestling, and bowling filled out the winter Intramural program. In handball Orange brought home Its only championship of the Intramural season. The trio of Jan Bartlett, Ken Pritchard, and Yank Albers lead the Orangemen to the title. Kings Mountain lead by Brent Rhue and Ted Wendel won the Intramural badminton championship. Then the grapplers of Meek were victorious In the Intramural wrestling tourna ment. The superior coaching of varsity stars Dean Leake and Denny Dodson made the difference as the “Gold Machine” edged Winston-Salem for the title. After three days of com petition Kings Mountain’s Keglers emerged as the bowling champions. Meek and Orange finished In a dead heat for second place honors. With Mecklenburg holding a slim lead over Kings Mountain the stage was set for the final sport of the big three In Intra mural competition. A win by Meek or Kings Mountain In soft ball would probably decide the overall competition champion ship. Freshman hurler David Alnslle and his Mecklenburg team mates took It from there and finished with a strong 8-1 record to clinch the softball title. Kings Mountain finished second Just one game behind the leader. Mountaineer Bob Brewbaker pitched a fine game in handing Meek their only defeat. As It now stands Mecklenburg should win the overall trophy with a pending victory \n th*» tennis competition. Golf com petition Is going on right now and later this month a track meet will bring to a close the 1968-69 Intramural season. Hats off to all those who made the Intramural pro^ram possible this past season.

There will be an election In Mecklenburg for a new presi dent due to the resignation of Dean Leake. Also, there Is a possibility that the election of Camilla Neal will be contested and may possibly bring on a new elec tion. The tennis team wraps up the regular season on their home court today as they host powerful Lynchburg in what should prove to be a preview of tomorrow’s Dixie Conference tournament. This will be the first time this season the two teams have seen each other, due to an earlier match being rained out, making It extremely significant for the tournament since it Is a safe assumption that by the finals on Saturday it should be strictly a two- team affair; Lynchburg and SA. Both teams are undefeated in conference play and go into the tourney ranked about even, though Lynchburg players are seeded first in almost every bracket. The first round singles will begin at approximately 1:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, with the second round singles and first round doubles to follow into the evening. Saturday will see the finals of the singles in the morning, and the second round and final round of the doubles that afternoon. Institute (Continued from Page 2) ture of Japan; and Cultures of the Near East. AH courses be gin on June 16 (except for China and Japan, which start June 25), and last till mid-August. An additional point of In terest to St. Andrews students is the Culture of the Carib bean course, to be taught by our own Dr. Jerry William son. This program will study the Influences of Dutch, French, English, Spanish and African cultures on the Caribbean, most notably the society of Jamaica as reflected in the Island’s literature, music and graphic arts. SA players will compete in each bracket of the first round except at number five singles, where McCrea drew a bye. Since most of the SA players are seeded second in their re spective brackets, they will face the third seeded players, who are in most cases either Char leston or Methodist. Netters Outlast Charleston SA scored a historic first last Saturday in the historic town of Charleston as they de feated the College of Charles ton on their home court, 6-3. It was the first time In SA’s history that they have won on Charleston’s court. Since Charleston has only two courts, the match began at ten a.m. Harry Kraly played bril liant tennis to defeat Ron Os borne In straight sets to start things off, but Chuck Hardesty battled Joe Rooney’s spin and drop shots for three hot sets before bowing to his opponent. Bert Cushman won his match easily at number four and Mc Crea won at five to put SA ahead by two, but Rod Moore ran into a lob machine at num ber three and lost in three sets. 1-6, 6-1, 6-1. Frank Ligon polished off his man at six to put SA within one match of victory with the doubles coming up. It was left to Llgon and Cush man at third doubles to clinch the match as they won handily, and McCrea and Kraly added the Insurance at first doubles as Kraly carried a rather shaky McCrea through three long sloppy sets, to make the final score 6-3 for the Knights. KNIGHT OUTFIELDER Steve Lltchford executes a sacrifice bunt in last Friday’s game against Baptist College of Charleston. Gregory Stops Campbell The Women’s Recreation As sociation will sponsor a girls’ softball game on Monday, May 5. This will be a campus-wide event rather than dorm com petition. If you are interested in some good, healthy com petition, come to the field behind Kings Mountain dorm at 4;00 p.m. Monday. THE ST. ANDREWS golfers (ho will compete against their D.I.A.C. rivals in this week’s tournament. From left to right. Coach McGee, Mac Jones, Buzz Vinson, Craig Hannas, Jim Amburn, Captain David Seale, and Bob Samson. Graduate credit may also be earnea in these courses, through payment of an additional fee and more extensive work in individual research-study pro jects. The Knights ended a two game losing streak Tuesday, with a 1-0 victory over Campbell Col lege, at Clark Field. Kemp Gregory scattered eight hits while going the distance for his sixth victory of the season and seventh complete game effort. St. Andrews scored the game’s only run in the bottom of the first Inning. Lead-off man John Everett drew a walk off of the tall Campbell right hander, McCrea. Knights center fielder Steve Lltchford, fol lowed with a nifty sacrifice bunt, moving Everett to second. Team captain Jimmy Timmons then grounded out to the second baseman allowlngEverett to ad vance to third. Number four hitter for the Knights, Irv Nor- tham spiked a line drive single to center field scoring Everett with what proved to be the game winning run. Campbell threatened to tie the game in the fourth Inning as a double to the fence in left center by the catcher Young, put Camel runners on the sec ond and third with two outs. Gregory rose to the occasion and fanned the next Campbell batter to end the Inning. Campbell’s only other ser ious threat came in the seventh frame when they loaded the bases with two away. Gregory retired the Campbell left fielder on a fine running catch by Knight right fielder A1 Thomp son, to retire the side. The Knights played a fine de fensive game behind their ace righthander. Veteran catcher Jim Snyder made a clutch peg to first baseman Everett to re tire a potential Campbell run ner in the sixth inning, after hustling to retrieve a wild throw beyond first base. Snyder also threw out a Campbell base run ner attempting to steal in the fifth Inning with a perfect throw to second baseman Timmons. Northam contributed a fine running grab of a line drive In the ninth and slick fielding Glenn Hundertmark added some fine plays at third to the defen sive effort. Coach Gerald Griffin’s Knights are now 11-10 on the season and they have a chance to become the first baseball team ever to record a winning season at St. Andrews. A lot of credit should go to Coach Griffin and this year’s scrappy Knight ball club for an exciting season. Special recognition should be given to three veteran perfor mers who will end their college baseball careers this month. This year’s team captain, sec ond baseman Jimmy Timmons has been an excellent performer In each of his four years at St. Andrews. His constant hitt ing and competent fielding has been one of the keys to the re cent success of St. Andrews’ baseball team. Veteran re ceiver Jim Snyder has also played well for the Knights for several season. Snyder’s cap able handling of Knight pitchers and hustling attitude will be missed by next year’s ball club. Outfielder AI Thompson also will be lost through graduation and he too has worked hard in a Knight uniform.
