PAGE FOUR THE LANCE As springtime rolls around, many students anxiously await trips to Myrtle, sunbathing be hind the dorms, more softball contests between the freaks and straights and dlvotlng up the pitch and putt course. At the same time the spring Jocks (track, goU, tennis, and base ball) are hurriedly preparing tor their season openers. The traditional lack of en thusiasm for track no longer exists. Twenty men Including nine returning lettermen have met Coach Klnne’s call fbr Munich 1972, Finally the squad Is large enough that one guy won’t be forced to compete In four or five events. Now he can concentrate on his spe cialty. Klnne described them as “very dedicated and hard working.” The Knights should be strong In the running events. Field events will probably be their weakness, especially the high Jump, Javelin and pole vault. Six men are now hampered by Injuries although Klnne feels they’ll be ready for the opener against ACC on March 19. This Is the ONLY home meet. Next we come to the flashy dressing, easy-going half ofthe country club set—who posses one of the school’s wlnnlng- est records at 113-39-1. Rufus Hackney and Dr. Morgan return as coaches after short lay offs. Hackney coached SA to an 18-2 season and a DIAC title In 1967 while Morgan did an equally creditable Job in his three year stint (1964-66) by finishing first twice and sec ond once In the conference. Five returning lettermen In cluding Mac Jones, #2 in 1970, head the list of sixteen men now trying out. The other letter men are Toby Vosburg, Jim Harwood, Chris Johnson and Craig Hannas. The remaining men are Rob Mabon Dave Ralph, Paul SturgUI, John Givens, Jim Barrick, Banks Garrison, Chris Hayes, Marsh Ortennburger, John Daniels and Pete Jones, A schedule of twenty-two matches and two tournaments is highlighted by two matches against Campbell, defending NAIA national champions, NC Wesleyan and Lynchburg should be our toughest DIAC foes. Newcomers to the schedule in clude Hampden-Sydney, Wes tern Connecticut, Madison, Trenton State and Belmont Ab bey. Qualifying matches are being held tomorrow through Sunday. The ilnksters open March 25 when they host Lynchburg, Greensboro and Methodist. It will be a rebuilding year for Bob Chalken’s tennis team, the other half of the country club set. Four returning let- Lope's Line termen-sophomore Davis Mil ler, senior Chuck Hardesty, and the Robinson brothers, sen ior Dan and sophomore Rlchle- and three promising freshmen- Wllllam Mitchell, Steve Barber and John Van Den Hyevel-make up the squad. The Knights should do well in defense of their conference crown they share with Lynch burg. The Hornets and Metho dist should be SA’s stllfest DIAC completition. The rackateers’ schedule consists of sixteen matches and three tournaments. Chalkenhas decided to schedule more con ference opponents In the future as non-conference scholarship foes have become too strong. New additions to the sche dule are Tennessee Tech, Vir ginia Wesleyan andChristo^er Newport. SA will compete in the Camp bell Tournament tomorrow and Saturday. On March 16, the Knights host perennial power house ACC, District 29 repre sentatives in the 19 70 na tionals. Pitching is the key to suc cess for this year’s baseball team as they tackle a demand ing 27 games schedule-toughest in the school’s history. Four games In the first six days of the season against the likes of Campbell, Pfeiffer (twice) and ACC Is a rough start, SA hosts Duke on March 29 for all you Blue Devil migrants. A mere four men make up the hurling staff. They are sen iors Steve “gopherball” Lltch- ford and Mark Kleber, sopho more Riley Erwin and fresh man John Bush. Riley ‘‘racked” up enough wins as a frosh to win All-Conference Honors. Ken “Charley Hustle” Mehr- Ilng returns to handle the catching chores. The scrappy Junior led last years’ team in RBI’s. He is backed up by stocky freshman Wayne Pol- ston. Wayne is another fine baseball product of BHS. A well-experienced all senior infield unit is a pleasing note for the pitcher. Glenn “Brooks” Hundermark will hold down third base for the fourth consecutive year. Irv Northam returns to the infield after a year’s absence to play first base. Northam led the 1969 team wltli a .302 average. Wayne Wise (All District Utility Infielder) and Stuart Parrish, at shortstop and sec ond respectively will be the SA double play combo. Fresh man Jim Haddix, a reserve sec ond baseman, has looked im pressive with his bat and glove. Experience abounds in the outfield as veterans Lltchford Erwin, Dave Mills and Mike Eller return. Freshmen John McAllister, Paul Finger and Ron Ralph are reserve out fielders. The school baseball record of 13 wins will definitely l>e broken this year. I predict an 18-9 season. For the last time I look forward to the hilarious away trips. For pete’s sake l^ynchburg, get that clock fixed in your team room so some of us can get a good night’s rest! Meek Captures Wrestling Title The men’s Intramural stand ings are as close this year as they ever have been. After Win ston-Salem’s victory on the Basketball floor they lead in points over Mecklenburg by a- bout 75. Orange is third and Kings Mountain Is close behind in four place. Winston-Salem’s handball points and Mecklen burg’s wrestling points have not been included in the scor ing. The biggest event of this year as far as spectators were concerned was the wrestling tournament. Meek won it easily, but all of the final matches were very close. Calhoun Chappell and Don Cooper won by forfeit In their weight divisions. Ed Anderson beat Bo Pollock at 134; Muscleman Larry Robin son won out in a hard fought battle over less - experienced John Roderick at 144. In the closest match of the night Jimmy Haddix declsloned Tom Rose by one point riding time after a 5-5 tie. In the 160 lb. weight division Chris Verr won out over Ken Mehrl- Ing. Freshman Rick Judge pin - ned David Dufek in a comi cal, unexpected match which was followed by Chris John son overpowering John Cline in the 190 lb. division. Rick Rey nolds wrestled and pinned Peter Schmitt in a finals round the previous night. In the final match, “the mashed Boneplcker” or John LaGuardla sparred with Dave (come again) Dufek in a lively fought (?) bout in which a close decision pin by John won. And that’s it for Intramurals, If there is anything you can do for spring term, see your dorm manager. They need every point even if it’s just for participa tion.
