PAGE 6 TTTK DFrRKF. ISPORTS MONDAY. MAY 29. 1967 Year End Sports Review ’68 OLYMPICS ON SCHEDULE Another year for the as yet mostly un-filled record books for Wesleyan College has come to an end. How did that year stand up in the over-all athletic picture? What are the prospects for next season ? For Coach Bill Music and his kick-ball charges, the soc cer season was a disappoint ment. The booters, after two seasons of ,500 play, fell to much more powerful opponents with regularity, and ended the year with a miserable record. Coach Music hopes that things will be much better in the falL He will lose two of his stand-outs, however, in Ralph Thomas, MVP, who is trans ferring to UNC, and Tom Dick inson, first team goalie, who will be at Lehigh next year. Two outstanding possibilities are planning to attend Wes leyan next year. One is from Florida, and the other from a school in Virginia where he was an all - conference defensive half. Returnees include co - captains Dennis Patrick and Tom Farmer. Farmer should be the biggest offensive threat for the Bishops, depending on the mending of an injured knee. Fullback will be the weakest position on the team, with the departure of Captain Fritz Smith. In cross-country, the 1966 Bishops did very well in that personally demanding sport. Gone next year, however, will be top harrier Larry Vaughn, who finished fifth in the con ference meet. Coach Don Scalf will have all his other charges back, and will be counting on Steve Gordon and Herb Hall to fill Vaughn’s shoes. “We will need one or two new men to do a creditable job,” Scalf said, “and 1 think we’ll be in good shape,” Wrestling, the most success ful sport in 1966-67 athletics, will have all participants re turning, except for conference champ Dickinson. All the other returnees will be juniors or sophomores, ex cept for rising senior NatRail- ey, who was also a conference champ. Bill Roberts, who did well before leaving school at the end of first semester, may re turn to give aid to the wrest ling squad. Coach Music feels that if the wrestlers grades stay up his squad will again be in contention for the con ference crown. The 1966-67 basketball Bish ops were the team that had potential, but except for a few games, never lived up to their expectations. Only one man from that start ing squad is leaving, but his vacancy is a big one. Lloyd Nelson, all conference and all tournament selection, departs the pivot position, and his scor ing and rebounding will be missed. Coach Don Scalf had a good replacement on the hook, a 6’6” 210 Ib. boy from Greens boro, but when the young giant discovered that Wesleyan did not offer a degree in political science, he decided to go else where. Another potential star was lost to next year’s team when Floyd Wingfield, a stand-out performer for Louisburg Jun ior College, withdrew his appli cation for admittance to NCW. by Tom Davis Scalf has the nucleus for a fine squad, built around high- scoring guard Chris Felts, and captain A1 Horne, who began to display his true potential late last season. Rounding out the other re turning starters are Dana Dick ens and Harold Sutton. Scalf feels that unless a cou ple of promising prospects from the Suffolk area come to Wes leyan next year. Bob Keyes will be the undisputed choice to replace Nelson at the pivot. Keyes developed greatly as last season progressed, and should his shooting eye match his re bounding ability, he could de velop into one of the DIAC’s top pivot men. Tennis hopes for next year would indicate that the Bishops will make a much better show ing than their total of two wins this season. Coach Music hopes that a former doubles champ from Suffolk Virginia will enter school here next year. With this player, he feels he will be able to move all his returnees down one notch, and have an outstanding team. “Tommy Farmer would be an excellent number two man,” Music commented, noting that Farmer would probably be one of the top second men in the league. The bowling team will be a big question mark. Coach Mu sic says his greatest need will be for people to come out for the team. “There are plenty of people in school who bowl, but won’t come out for the team,” he said, pointing out that only one day of practice a week is required, and all bowling is done free at Rocky Mt. Lanes. The golf team, one of the strongest in the DIAC this past season, loses Lee Ball and Buck Roney, its number one and three men. All other players will be returning, and Coach Scalf has a freshman comingfromGolds- boro who is reported to be a fine golfer. Lynchburg will be the top contender along with the Bish ops for next season’s crown. So it appears that most sports are looking up, but that is about the only way most of them have to go. Mongram Elections Held Barry Buck, a rising sen ior from Silver Springs, Mary land, was recently elected pres- i dent of the Weslej^ Monogram Club for 1967 - 68, succeeding Tom Davis. Other officers selected by the organization of college ath letes were Marty Sarra, ris ing senior from Pennsauken, New Jersey, vice-president; Mutt Kessel, rising junior from Richmond, Va., and Dana Dick ens, rising junior from Stan- tonsburg, N. C. The MonogramClub has com pleted what it considers to be its finest year, which culmi nated in the successful First Annual Horse Show held on the campus in April. Initiation procedures have now been completed for the spring semester, and the club will be at full strength for its 1967-68 activities. ‘Everything Will Be Ready,’ Says Mexican Architect Mexico City, May 27. Construction work has started on all projects for the 1968 Olympic Games and the man who heads the Mexican Organ izing Committee remains con fident everything will be ready when competition starts Octo ber 12. “Does it really matter if all the work is ready six months ahead of time or six hours ahead of time?” asked Pedro Ramirez Vazquez, the architect who is chairman of the Organiz ing Committee. “The important thing is that everything will be ready for use when the Olympic Games start. Mexico will keep its word. Ev erything will be ready,” he said. Built Tourist Attractions Mexicans are condident Ra mirez Vazquez can have all construction finished in time to iron out bugs before the Games start. He was the architect responsi ble for Mexico City's Museum of Anthropology, an architectur al wonder built in about eight een months. He also was re sponsible for University City, another top tourist attraction here. The architect, in his first interview after returning from the International Olympic Com mittee itieeting in Tehran, said his report on Olympic plans seemed to satisfy members of the committee. Concern Over South Africa “The thing most reporters asked me was on the question of South Africa’s participation in the games,” the round-faced executive said. “They apparent ly were satisfied from my re port on our construction pro gress.” He said Mexico will follow the I.C.C.’s lead on the qustion of South Africa’s participation but predicted the country would not be allowed to compete unless there was a change in her internal racial policy to prmit the makeup of the teams by open competition within South African territory. The last Olympic construction to get started was the cycling velodrome and ground recently was broken for it. The Olympic village, the sports palace, the swimming pool and yachting faciliites in Acapulco already were under construction. The expansion of University Sta dium, the main stadium for the Games, is on schedule,he said. True Mexican Flavor Mexico is spending about $70,- 000.000 for the Games. This includes construction, expansion of existing facilities and all other costs involved in present ing the games. “We’re not trying to outdo Tokyo or anybody,” Ramirez Vazquez said. “We're just try ing to give the 1968 Gamb a truly Mexican flavor.” Other outgoing officers in clude, Ray Freeman, vice- president; Marty Sarra, treas urer; and Nat Railey, secre tary. The Olympic village will be a huge apartment complex which, after the games, will become a housing project. It is being built by a government bank and will be loaned to the Olympic Organ izing Committee for the Games. After the Games, the bank will sell or rent the apartments. And Gifts, T^oo Big construction plans are more or less out of the way now and the Organizing Committee has started work on such de tails as gifts for members of National Olympc Committees, athletes and other dignataries attending the games.
