Athletics Off On Right Foot in ’68
Basketball
One thing is certain about the coming
basketball season: there will be plenty
of new faces. Along with a new coaching
staff, several promising new players will
wear the Montreat-Anderson colors for the
first time.
Practice will begin early in October,
when the Cavaliers commence preparations
for the opening of the season on November
18 th.
If the playing personnel seems suited to
that pattern of play, students and fans
can expect an exciting fast-breaking style
of play. From what I know of the personnel
at this point, it would seem that the
Cavaliers will possess an adequate supply
of the two main ingredients for that style:
size enough to get the ball off the defensive
board and speed and ball-hdndling ability
enough to execute the fast-break.
Defense will be highly stressed. Much
practice time will be devoted to the
development of sound individual and team
defense.
Among the newcomers who are being
counied on to contribute during ihe coming
season are: Gary Fteble, Curtis Brooks,
Richard Dillahunt, Charles Dudley, Robert
Hunnicut, Roosevelt Robinson, Ben Young,
Jim Norris, Sam Milner, and Bruce Rosemond.
Two returnees from last year, Austin Brady
and Bob Spinning, will have good experience
to lend to a basically young and inexperienced
team.
You are urged to give your support to the
1968-69 basketbal lers. We hope that their
play will make it easy for you to support
them.
Total P. E. Program
The total health and physical education
program with which Montreat-Anderson
College is concerned consists of three
aspects: the service program, intramurals,
and intercollegiate athletics. Each phase
is of equal importance. No program is
complete unless each of these aspects
is well-developed, co-ordinated, and
integrated to best meet the needs of the
entire student body.
The emphasis of the service program is
instructional. It is a process of education
through activities, which are selected and
carried on with regard to physical, social,
emotional, spiritual, and intellectual
growth.
The intramural program is concerned
with providing athletic competition for all
students and faculty of M-A College.
This program is of great importance by

Moore Center
Russ Burgess, formerly with the
Department of Justice, is widely known
for his lecture demonstrations in
giving dl students an opportunity to develop*'‘^™'r"^°'> He not only
the sHIU the,, hn„. he.„ t„„„ht te 4,. Unspoken thoughts of others, but
answers with a knowledge that baffles
the skills they have been taught in the
service program. The intramural program
at Montreat-Anderson is voluntary,
providing healthy activity for the
enjoyment of the physical, mental, and
social training of its participants.
It is the objective of the intercollegiate
athletic program to provide the highly
skilled individual the opportunity to
compete at his proficiency level. The
athletic program is also an invaluable
media for bringing recognition to
Montreat-Anderson.
It is the sincere wish of the health
and physical education department that
the student body will take an active part
in every phase of the program.
Tennis
With all of the leading players of a year
ago returning, the outlook for the MAC
tennis team appears bright. Led by Joe
and Gene Fuller, Bill Ratteree, and Steve
Austin, last year's netters finished with an
outstanding record of 8-1.
All of these boys will return and with a
year's experience behind them, they should
be improved. The main cogs will be the
Fuller twins who lost only one match
between them one year ago. Joe played
brilliantly at number one and Gene was
undefeated In number two position. Bill
Ratteree, last year's number three, was only
a step behind, however, and has the
potential to play as high as number one.
if a couple of freshmen tennis players can
be turned up to combine with this trio and
Steve Austin, the Cavaliers could have
another successful tennis team.
Soccer Opener Oct. 2
Bouncing off the toe of a successful
soccer club program last year, the
Cavaliers net their newest intercollegiate
sport when practice begins, September 20.
Coaches Alderman, Parks, and
Mitchell will depend upon a nucleus
of returning club members to form the
backbone of the team. A strong
representation from the Freshmen Class
is expected to give the much needed
depth, however.
The kickoff for the eight-game
schedule will be October 2, when
Montreat will meet the experienced
Brevard College team. That leaves
only twelve days of practice, so hard
work is expected in order to get prepared.
Anyone interested in trying out for the
team should report to the gym ready for
practice at 3:00 this Friday. Buses will
leave for the practice field at 3:15.
Home games will be played on the field
next to the Black Mountain Primary School.

of $10,000 for any person who can prove
that he gets help from anyone during a
demonstration.
With new breakthroughs occurring
constantly in ESP, Russ Burgess has become
a popular speaker 'Ti many campuses.
He has also lectured before numerous
psychology classes, where a strict academic
approach is observed, and has been a
featured guest on many national TV shows.
Mr. Burgess finds that he works best with
40% of his audience, and claims a batting
average of about 85% in his predictions.
Exploring the intangible reaches of the
mind is a fascinating business and with
some twenty years of experience in his
field, Russ Burgess always holds his
audience spellbound.
