BULLDOG
BARKS
By JIMMY LOWDER
The Full Moon sports staff proudly announces that Lynn
Calder and Linda Lucas of the Bulldogettes and W. Lisk and
Jimmy Bivens of the Bulldogs’ basketball and wrestling teams re
spectfully have been selected as the Athletes of the Month,
Lynn Calder, senior captain of the girls team has b^n se
lected Athlete of the Month on the basis of her excellent display
of leadership on the hardwood floor. Lynn, a rover, sets the team
up on offense and defense. She missed several contests tlm sea
son, and according to Coach Tyson, her absence in the Bulldogette
line-up v^ras deeply felt.
Linda Lucas receives the Athlete of the Month award for her
all around effort as a guard . Linda, a junior, will be a big asset ^
the Bulldogettes next season. Coach Tyson: Linda gives 100%
effort^o^^tte guiidog recipient of the Athlete of the Month
award. Through the first 13 games this season, J. W., a jump
shot artist, averaged 9.3 points per Iwllgame. His conference aver
age was several points higher. He is an excellent all-around ball
player and should make the all-conference team.
Jimmy Bivens, who wrestles in the 154-pound class, compiled
a 6-3 record through the first nine matches this season. He is
currently participating in the SPC Tournament being held at
Pfeiffer
Congratulations to each of these outstanding athletes!

There has been much said this year about improving the con
duct of students and spectators at basketball games and other
athletic events. Sportsmanship has been the key word. But while
the emphasis was being centered around the actions of fans and
players, there seems to have been some neglect as to the re
sponsibilities of the game officials. ^
The degree of accuracy of this season s referees has been
low Of course, there are going to be a few mistakes in a game,
but the limit seems to have been exceeded this year. No prejudice
is being rendered for Albemarle. A large number of bad calls have
been charged against almost every team in. the conference.
« * « * *
The South Piedmont Conference would do well by either ob
taining better trained officials or by requiring additional training
for the ones it now has. We are not suggesting that game officials
have been favoring certain teams, but rather that their capability
to "call” a game is not up to par.
• * * * !
Next week will be the first week in March, and that spells
T-O-U-R-N-A-M-E-N-T. Who’s gonna win? Statesville? A
computer would agree 100% but a basketball coach
one. Tournaments usually spell s-j-a-s-d-n ^d although States
ville will be a heavy favorite, the Sports Staff predicts Albemarle
to be in the finals. And who knows!
