Dribblers Better;
Patience Would Help\
There were signs all over
campus last Monday asking us
all to attend the basketball
game. I feel like a hypocrite be
cause our own sports editor was
unable to attend. He was intro
duced to the visiting poet on
campus as the one who would
introduce the poet at last Mon
day’s lecture. Therefore, all
this sports article is second
hand information. Of course,
all my information came from
reliable sources. The most re
liable Information I received
was the fact that we lost, 63-
62.
Apparently, Gary Linn and
Jimmy Haddix played very well,
both on offense and defense. As
usual, Bruce Taylor did a fine
job under the boards. But again
it was the turnovers in the first
half that hurt. These turnovers
were caused mainly by passing
Review Awarded
Council Grant
The St. Andrews Review was
awarded a $1,000 cash grant
from the National Endowment
for the Arts, Notice of the grant
came from Mrs. Gail Kong, the
exec utive secretary of the Co
ordinating Council of Literary
Magazines. The grant was
awarded specifically for Issues
two and three, featuring Buck
minster Fuller and Carolyn Ki-
zer, respectively.
The awards were made by a
committee of six judges, with
Russell Banks, publisher^ as
executive secretary. The meet
ing for the awards was held in
Houston, Texas, last week.
The money from the grant will
be used to help finance the print
ing and distribution of the Re
view. The fourth issue will ap
pear in January, marking Mr.
Ron Bayes’ last issue as edi
tor. The succeeding issues will
be edited by Dr. Charles Joy

too much. In the past we have
failed to take the open shot and
the tendency was to pass to
some one whom you thought
could shoot better. This forced
the shooter on the team to of
ten force shots he normally
would not have taken. From what
I understand, this also got some
of the fans irritated. We must
remember that many of our
players still lack experience
and that timing of this nature
comes with a lot of practice
and hard work. Coach Whiteley
realized this from the begin
ning and has accepted the fact
that he can not make a team
over ni^t. I’m sure that pa
tience would do all of us some
good. The team’s hope was to do
well in the tournament at the
end of the season.
However, there were very
good signs of team improvement
in the second half. Passing was
much more accurate and I was
even told that we scored our
first fast break of the season.
Coach Whiteley had said earlier
that S. A. would not be fast
breaking much for fear of hav
ing the opposition running up
the score.
Also in the second half, shoot
ing was better. Throughout, the
whole game, our free throw
shooting was remarkedly im
proved over the past few games.
The hustle that has been our
strong point, still prevailed,
and probably will throu^out the
season.
I was also told that our school
spirit was aided (?) by the re
turn of the zoo squad. I'm
not sure what effect this might
have really had, I can only
guess.
For all you people who don’t
want to miss another game, the
next one will be this Friday at
7:30. Maybe I’ll see you there
since it has been so much fun
writing about something I didn’t
see.

Wresders Lose Big One;
Heavyweights Encouraging
Last Monday, it was a very
close one as the wrestling team
almost pulled it out against
Lynchburg. Lynchburg was
forced to forfeit two weight
classes while we only had to
forfeit one. In collegiate wrest
ling, a team scores six points
when a team member pins an
opponent, or when the opposing
team forfeits a wei^t class.
A team also scores three points
for a decision or 2 for a tie.
As you can see, scoring is very
similar to football, hence a
score of 32-28 is very close.
Now that you all know how to
keep score, let’s get into last
Monday’s match.
In case you weren’t there,
which is probably the case,
it was very evident that Lynch
burg was stronger in the light
er weight classes than we were.
However, from 167 lbs. on up,
we were very strong. Richard
Bridgeforth was the first to get
S.A. fans out of their seats and
he was able in a very short
time to pin his opponent. Marty
McIntyre drew our second for
feit of the evening, but it still
left us way behind in total
points. Then Mark Goodnough*
fought a brilliant match against
a heavier opponent and battled to
a tie. At one point, he almost had
a pin, but time ran out. Perhaps

Draft Changes

jobs that better serve the na
tional health, interest and wel
fare. Under the old law con
scientious objectors perform

were under the control of lo
cal draft boards. Under the new
law the National Director of
S e 1 e ctive Service has the res-
sponsibility of assigning and
reviewing work assignments for
these men.
a continuing activity. An infor
mal survey for example, shows
that we need to replace approx
imately one quarter of our local
board m e m b e rship because
of the new maximum age re
quirements of the law. While
the draft system will suffer
from the loss of these dedicated
men and women, we are eager
to take advantage of this op
portunity to replace them with
young men and women reflecting
the ethnic, educational and so
cial backgrounds of registrants
across the nation.
Appointed by the President
upon the recommendation of the
state governor, the local board
member holds, perhaps the
most important position in the
Selective Service System. A
young man or woman who might
be interested in serving on a
local board or in assuming oth
er volunteer positions in the Se
lective Service System should
contact the office of his or her
governor.
Many young people are ask
ing themselves these days with
a greater degree of seriousness
than was displayed by previous
generations where their values
lay, what activities make their
lives meaningful, and how they
can better contribute to so
ciety. I hoj>e that many young
men and women will recognize
these new opportunities to serve
in the Selective Service as a
worthwhile means of social in
volvement and public service.
We need their help.
the most exciting event of the
evening was when little Mac
Johnson, at 190 lbs. was able to
pin his 290 lbs. opponent. It
was something worth seeing.
Mac twisted his arm untU Big
Bozo politely rolled over on his
back. Then he laid his skinny 190
lbs. on Fatty for awhile. Finally,
Tubo resigned, and the referee
slapped the mat with both hands.
Thus, the match was ended. But
not the excitement. Bill Fur
bish, who was inelllgible to
wrestle since he transferred
from a four year school, was al
lowed to wrestle a Lynchburg
student whowas also inelllgible.
In no time at all, Bill wiped the
mats with his opponent. His pin,
had it counted, would have put
the Knights ahead.
Althou^ the Knights lost
most of the lighter weight divi
sions, there were still someBv
very fine efforts on the part o( ^
our lightweights. Buddy Creech
at 142 lbs. and Bob Barto at!
155 lbs. turned In very fine per-
formances.
