PAGE TWO the LANCE jColfers Lower Scores] THURSDAY, MARCH 21 Knights Take Two Net Win^i Coach Bill Morgan was quite pleased with his golf team’s performance in a tri angular meet with Francis Marion and Campbell at Buies Creek Monday. “We played pretty well against two of the toughest teams in the area,” he commented. “Campbell, had nobody in the 80’s w^ile Francis Marion had only one man in the 80’s, and he had an 83. Still we only lost by 28 strokes, which is not bad at aU.” The Knights came in with a fine 408 total, well below their two previous efforts this year. They were totally outclassed by the homestanding Camels, who recorded a 359 total, an average of under 72 for the top five men. FMC took second at 380. Campbell’s Morse and Hodges tied for medalist honors with 70’s. Dave Cox led SA with a 77, closely followed by Dixon Williams at 78. John Givens shot 82, Bob Latshaw 85, and StuHunt86. Earlier in the week, SA defeated a weak Lynchburg team 433-459 at Scotch Meadows. Cox led the Knights’ onslaught in this match also, shooting a fine 78. Givens shot 85, Williams 88, and Jim Barrick and Latshaw each had 91.' St. Andrews has a big match against N. C. Wesleyan scheduled for today (Thur sday) at noon. “This is one win we really want,” clauned Morgan. “They’re the guys who’ve been knocking us off.” Morgan referred to Wesleyan’s success in recent conference tournaments. He announced plans to start Cox, Williams, Hunt, Latshaw, Givens, and Dave Ralph. In order to allow all seven of his golfers to play in competition, Morgan does not start the high man from the previous match. “The guys are getting kind of excited now. They ’re hoping to win the conference tour nament this year,” Morgan said. He added optimistically, “They have a good chance. Thursday will pretty much tell the story of what kind of chan ce we have of winning the con ference. We’re pretty op timistic right now.” Baseball Still Winless St. Andrews played what one team member described as “lazy” baseball Wed nesday and dropped a doubleheader to Methodist College 11-1 and 6-0. Bill Bar nes and Jay Xanthos were the losing pitchers as the team’s record fell to 0-7. Ray An drews drove in the Knights’ only run with a double before being injured at second base as he attempted to complete a double play. Andrews suf fered a contusion in his leg. Jay Xanthos pitched an ex cellent game last Thursday against ACC, but crucial errors by his SA teammates allowed the Bulldogs to nip the Knights 2-1. Xanthos, who pit ched all the way, allowed no earned runs despite giving up nine hits, three walks, and a hit batsman. Xanthos struck out four in twirling the Knights’ best game of the year. He was forced to work his way out of many jams, and on most occasions was able to force the ACC batters to pop the ball up or ground out. “Our defense is what makes us look good, because for the most part other teams hit the ball,” said Coach Julian Smith. “We don’t strike people out. We’ve got to learn to pick the ball up and throw them out. We’ve come along pretty well. The whole key to our game is how well we play in the field.” The Knights managed five hits, including four singles, as their record dropped to 0-5. In those five games, SA has banged out 28 hits in 145 at bats for a meek .193 average. Andrews leads the club in hit ting with a strong .530 average, with nine hits in 17 at bats. The St. Andrews netmen notched two more wins this week, clipping UNC-W 8-1 and sliding past Campbell College 5-1 in a rain-shortened affair. At Wilmington, the Kniehts cruised to five triumphs m singles and swept the doubles competitions. Steve McAlister highlighted this match with a 6-1, 6-1 victory and the McAlister-Gillingham team breezed to a doubles win without the loss of a game. Mitch Mitdiell took no.. 3 singles 6-1, 6-3 and teamed with Tom Ajger at No. 2 for a 6- 4, 6-4 doubles win. Gray Fox and Paul Finger had little trouble at positions 2 and 4 respectively and made a fine comeback in No. 1 doubles af ter dropping the first set. Steve Barber posted a 7-5, 6-2 triumph at No. 5. After being rained out in their conference opener again st Virginia Wesleyan Satur day, the Knights managed a home debut against Campbell Tuesday, despite the elemen ts, which cancelled doubles play. SA’s biggest boost in this match came from John Gillingham, who scored a sur prising 7-5, 6-4 win at No. (2.) Gillingham was substituting for an ill Finger. Mitchell out classed John Beyers 6-1, 6-1. Barber won 6-4, 6-2. Fox sur vived a tough first set and had little problem thereafter in a two set victory.
