Page 6 The RAM’S HORN Should SGG Have An Inter - Collegiate Soccer Team. SPORTSCGPE By Roy Herring , III III!! ill III I III see Needs Soccer By HARRY FOLEY Soccer, the world’s most pop ular sport, Is watched by 120 mil lion people every weekend. It is one of the fastest games in the world. Soccer, or football, as it is commonly known as throughout the world has a large following all over, except the U. S. Now, after a long absence, two pro fessional Leagues have been es tablished. It is hoped that the game will catch on, in the pro fessional as well as in the col lege ranks. Many small and large colleges in North Carolina have soccer teams. SCO would be a good place to have a soccer team. A team would help create school spirit and give a lot of boys something to do. Soccer is played in the fall and is relatively inexpensive. A soccer team consists of eleven players, one goalie, two full backs, three halfbacks, and five forwards. The game lasts ninety minutes, two forty-five minute halfs, and a ten minute break. The only player who is allowed to touch the ball with his hands is the goalie; the rest are not allowed to use their hands. The object of the game is to score a point by kicking the ball in the opponent’s goal. The team that scores the most goals wins. Soccer is a low-scoring game, but has a lot of fast action and fancy dribbling. A soccer player has to be in good physi cal condition because he has to be able to run for ninety minutes. SHOULD S.C.C. HAVE AN INTER-COLLEGIATE SOCCER Asby Bryum—Yes, because it might drum school spirit. John Pfaff—Yes, because there isn’t anything else to do.

Terry Buffkin—Yes, it might kick up school spirit, Billy Byrd—Why not, we don’t have anything else to do. Marty Carter—Yes, we need the exercise. Coach Nance—Yes, if we could get enough money and someone to coach it. *Mr. Slaunwhite—Yes, I believe in sports. Rick Moll—Yes, it is a fast growing sport. Mrs. Proctor—Yes, if we can get Harry Foley to teach everyone to play. Left to Right: Eddie Jones, Johnny Gore, Sonny Palmer, Eddie Gore, Johnny williams.

The only game they lost was to Sandhills Community College. "They have played real well, but we haven’t had much compe tition,” said Coach Joe Nance. The last match of the season was with Coastal Carolina at Myrtlewood Golf Course in Myr tle Beach. The score was South eastern 17 - Coastal 1. Johnny Gore was medalist with a 76 followed by Eddie Gore with a 77. In this match Johnny Gore won 3-0, Eddie Jones won 2-1/2-1/2, and Eddie Gore won 2-1/2 - 1/2 and Johnny williams won 3-0. Members of the college’s first golf team are Johnny Gore (num ber 1 man), Eddie Jones, Eddie Gore, Johnny Williams, Sonny Palmer, Dickie Towne, Glenn Allen, and Ted Johnson. PE Glasses Planned Plans are being made for the physical education classes at Southeastern for next year. “We hope to offer courses so that there will be no repitition of an activity by a student. As an example, in the fall we will offer PED 101 and PED 201. If a student has had PED 101, then he must work PED 201 into his schedule,” said physical educa tion instructor Joe Nance. Courses offered next year will be; Fall Quarter: PED 101, (Physical Fitness through Activi ty) and 201 (Team Sports - Soc cer, Basketball and Tag Foot ball). Winter Quarter: PED 102, (Gymnastics, Tumbling, an Rebound Tumbling) and PED 202, (Folk, Social, and Square Danc ing). Spring Quarter: PED 103, (Team and Individual Sports - Softball, Volleyball and Track and Field) and PED 203 (In dividual Sports - Badminton, Ar chery, Tennis, Horseshoes, and Table Tennis). Basketball Prospects Coach Joe Nance, when asked about basketball prospects for next year, said that he "hoped to have practically the same boys back next season that played for the Rams this year—Jim Burris, Robert Hurley, Glenn Allen, Lar ry Dailey, Jim Foyles, Frank Hargrove and Stew Smith.” "Also, I have talked to several boys from the area high schools who have expressed an interest in attending Southeastern. This should make for some keen com petition for the twelve uniforms next year,” he added. Mr. Nance also announced that plans are in the making for a cross-country team at Southeast ern next fall. "This is a very popular and inejqpensive sport. Some coaches from several other community colleges have indicated that their schools will have a team. We hope to get all these schools to gether for a meet in the fall,” he said. He said that soccer and base ball have also been mentioned, but at the present time, both are very uncertain. He feels cer tain that the Rams will have another golf team in 1968, how ever. 1967-68 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE November 11 - College of Albemarle 15 - Southwood 25 - Gaston December 2 - Sandhills 9 - Isothermal 15 - Mitchell 27 - 29 - Tournament - Sandhills January 6 - Gaston 8 - Campbell JV 10 - Southwood 13 - Isothermal 17 - Sandhills A 20 - Western Piedmont 1 27 - College of Albemarle I February X 10 - Mitchell I 12 - Campbell JV 23 - Western Piedmont - Ho met - AwayY - AwayJ - AwayY - Ho m 3? - AwayJ ♦ - HomeJ - HomeJ - HomeJ - AwayJ - HomeJ - Awayj - AwayJ - HomeJ - Away 4 - Homaf Candid "They’re coming to take me away, ha ha!” : 1 Shots "Give me back mv hamburgers!” Around staff works dillgentlytocoiwieteUi^^ of the paper.
