Cavaliers sweep first games
By DAVID FIELD
Montreal’s baseball club
began the ’76 season on a
strong note with an 8-0 romp
over Bristol Community
College of Bristol, Va., and
have gone on to push their
record to 7-0-1. In the first
game, the team collected
twelve hits, with two-hit
performances by Wade King,
Bemie Young, Steve Kiser,
and Alan Capps, who scored
solo in the second inning on his
tape measure blast. David
Wright held the opposition to
one hit in six and one-third
innings of pitching, and the
rest of the defense produced,
two double plays and no
errors.
This year, the club will be
faced with a 35 game schedule
plus conference games.
Montreal is one of five schools
in the Western Carolina Junior
College Conference, whose
defending champs, Spar
tanburg and Wingate, may
prove to be the toughest
competition.
Last year, Montreal
finished third in the con
ference with a 15-13 record.
but taking note of the present
winning streak, whose only
bad mark is a tied ball game
which was called off after
eleven innings, one reaUzes
this season will be a different
ball game. The team has a
strong bullpen, strong
fielding, strong hitting, and in
short, no apparent
weaknesses.
As of this writing, the club is
in Boca Raton, Fla., taking
part in an eight team
iChristian college tournament,
,in which we are the only junior
college.

North Greenville team was
well organized and already
into their schedule, as opposed
to our team, which has only
begun tennis work over this
semester.
In women’s varsity tennis,

holding a 1-1 record. Con

Beasley of Waynesville, Mike

Kim Bell of Asheville.
After three regular matches
and one conference match, the
team record is 2-2. In the first
three matches the players all
turned in good scores, beating
Lees-McRae and Iso-Thermal
but were edged by Brevard
College. Their latest match
was played at Cedar Rock
Country Club against An
derson, Lees-McRae, North
Greenville, Spartanburg, and
Wingate. The course was hard
and kept all but two players
from breaking 90.
With two conference mat
ches and twp regular matches
left, the golf team hopes to pull
through when it needs to. They
will be in another conference
match on April 1st and 2nd, so
we wish them a steady hand '
when they putt.

New Dining Room is Open
By LINDA FIELD
Mark Robinson, Harry
Mott, and Jim Bridgeman are
no disappointment when it
comes to giving ad
venturesome spirit, or wild
spring vacation stories. There
were few things they didn’t
enjoy in the Florida Keys’
gamut of attractions during
their 9-day break.
The three developed a
special liking for dee-sea
diving and all-night fishing.
Mark caught a 10-inch baby
shark to put in the sea-water
aquarium at his' home. He
reports that while the group
was snorkeling, the “fearless
Harry Mott was scared out of
the water” by a harmless
barracuda.
Out of water, some of the
places the fellows visited were
Monkey Jungle; an artificial
tropical forest for hundreds of
monkeys, an entertaining
outdoor nighclub, and the
Rickenbacker Causeway -
where parts of Jackie
Gleason’s new show were
filmed. They placed a $2.00 bet
on a jai-alai game, the fastest
game in the world, and won
$5.25.
The fellows had a few
misadventures, some un
printable, and listed a few
complaints about their trip.
Harry says that on a visit to
Julie Kernekin’s home, her
father forced the guys to eat 5
lbs. of German hamburger.
(Julie adds that they also ate 2
strawberry pies and a potato
casserole that served 16
people.) Mark comments that
their girl-watching “didn’t do
any good.” Jim adds, with
some consternation, that
Harry missed the chance to
show off his wrestling ability
by not grappling with an
alligator in'one of the Florida
canals.
Harry and Jim were “kinda
disappointed” at having to
return from their Florida
vacation, and say they’d go
back “right now” if they had
the chance. Mark was the one
that was anxious to return -
and that was probably due to a
cute South African blonde.
One who might not be too
anxious to return to Florida
soon is Leigh Bixler. She rode
to Florida and back with the
fellows, and says she ought to
be commended for not losing
her sanity.
