things are going to be different
for the Wesleyan Bishops.
“We will definitely be con

He said that there had been good
spirit and hustle in the prac

the makings of a good ball club.”

It was a sunny Monday after
noon for the final, and decisive
intramural game. The two con
tenders could not have been more
evenly matched', 3rd floor South
had won three games and tied one,
3rd floor Edgecombe had won
four games while losing or tie-
ing none. Edgecombe had literally
“sfompecJ” every opponent, both
physically and numerically,South
Hall had employed fast runners
and good passing to win each game
by a comfortable 14-0.
The game began with a drive
by Edgecombe from their own
5 yard line to South Hall’s 10,
but the drive was halted by a
tough defense. For the entire
first half of the game neither team
seemed to be playing the kind of
football they were capable of.
South Hall could not move the ball
more than ten yards and
Edgecombe was stopped by the
South Hall defense whenever a
touchdown seemed in the making.
It seemed to be more a comedy
of errors than a champio.._>.ip
game. Late in the last quarter
South Hall began a drive on their
own 20 and moved the ball well,
mixing passes and option plays
to the Edgecombe 35. But this
last effort was cancelled out by
a key pass interception. At the
conclusion of the game the score
was still 0-0 and Edgecombe Hall
had won the championship.
During the course of the season
there were only 2 points scored
against South Hall, there were
NONE scored against Edge
combe! Congratulations Champst
The final, overall, standings for
intramural football were; 1st -
3rd Edgecombe, 2nd - 3rd South,
3rd - 2nd Edgecombe, 4th - 1st
South, 5th - 1st Edgecombe, 6th -

Welseyan’s second wrestling
team began practice on Monday,
November 8 under the g^uidance
of Coach Bill Music. Coach
Music forsees a gck)d year ahead
of the Bishop grapple rs. There
are many men returning from
last years squad, including: joe
Boling, Chris O’Conner, Bruce
“Atlas” Harris, Jerry Eat-
man, Doug Groseclose and Nat
Railey. Some new men who look
like very good prospects are
George Ennis, John Dubel, John
Carson, and Ray Martin. Dubel
and Carson both wrestled last
year at Rocky Mount High, where
Carson was undefeated, through
the regular season. Martin was a
wrestler for three years in high
school. Ennis has never wrestled
before (outside of the dorm) but
seems to be unusually well sui
ted for the sport. THE DECREE
wishes the varsity wrestlers a
fine year in 1965-1966 and hopes
to see great student support at
the three home matches. The
team will have two meets with
each of Wilmington, St. Andrews,
and Pembroke Colleges.

Thirteen new members were
recently initiated Into the N. G.
Wesleyan Monogram Club follow
ing a period during which the
prospective members were re
quired to wear burlap underwear,
and submit to other jovial re
quests of the members.
Following their itchy week, the
incoming athletes were treated
to an evtenlrfg of fun and games
somewhere back in the jungles
of Nash County, after which they
were cordially urged to walk back
to the campus, a distance of
something over ten miles.
The new members finished
their requirements in fairly good
order, and were later re^
ceived into the club by President
Gil Wylie and presented their
monograms by the coaching staff.
The Monogram Club has been
providing assistance to the
soccer teanj with ball boys,
scorers and timersand has been
providing concessions at all the
home contests.
