Diamond Nine Wins Two I a

. . crouched batting stance
The Lions dropped a pair of
seven-inning games Thursday to
Milligan at Johnson City, Tenn.,
5-4 and 8-5. In the first game
Jackie Hughes permitted the
Buffs only 5 hits as compared to
7 for the Lions, and Capt. Bill
Clark lead the hitters with 2 for 4
at the plate. A long fly by Larry
Honeycutt in the last inning with
Don Martin on base narrowly
missed being a home run.
Don Love started the second
game; Dave Livengood relieved
in the third and Hughes came
back in the fifth. Martin caught
both games.
Net Opener Lost,
Milligan Next Foe
The Lion tennis team, which
dropped its opening match 4-2
Monday to Brevard, will clash
with Milligan on the Tennesseans’
courts this Monday (Apr. 8).
Hurt by the loss of three top-
notch players on academic proba
tion, the team also was without
the services of No. 2 man Ken
Murray, who was away with the
touring choir.
The results: Bradbum defeated
Andy Morley (MH) 6-3, 6-2; Van
Carroll (MH) beat Ruiz 6-4, 3-6,
6-3; Bryan Brinkley (MH) edged
Shore 3-6, 6-1, 6-4; Dennen de
feated Bill Mitchell (MH) 6-4,
6-3; Shore and Bradburn beat
Morley and Carroll 8-6, 4-6, 7-5;
and Ruiz-Dennen whipped Mit-
chell-Brinkley 6-4, 6-3.
Murray should be back in ac
tion Monday, and Coach Harrell
Wood said Ron Harvey may com
pete against Milligan.
Trackmen Open
Season at ETSC
The track team opens its sea
son this afternoon in a dual meet
with East Tennessee State in
Johnson City. Action starts at
1:30.
Coach Ezell’s thinclads will
take to the road again Monday,
when they journey to South
Carolina for a dual meet with
Wofford.
Encouraged by warm spring
weather, the Lion trackmen tuned
up this week for their initial com
petition by running against the
clock and working against the
measuring tape.
Gary Goodwin turned in a 9.9
performance in the hundred, and
freshman Tom Gladden logged a
:53 in the 440 and surpassed 22
feet in the broad jump.
Victories — 4-5 and 5-3 over
the Emory & Henry Wasps were
hung up by the MHC baseball
team last week in an earlier-
than-expected launching of the
headed after that. Moundsman
Jack Hughes worked himself into
several tight spots, but sharp
fielding helped him out.
season.
Scheduled only the day before,
the games were played at Emory,
Va. Although they had had only
four days of practice, the players
demonstrated a smooth infield
and a talented outfield.
Again it was the hitting of
Clark, Honeycutt, Raines and
Martin that spelled the differ
ence. Martin contributed a long
double as did Hill.
One of the bright spots was
hitting. Though somewhat incon
sistent, the entire starting lineup
showed long-ball hitting ability
with Bill Clark, Larry Honeycutt,
Don Martin and Don Raines doing
the heavy work for the day.
Among the reserves Johnny
Edwards, Charles Smith, Hobie
Harmon and Bill Hawkins have
been sharp in practice and will be
definite assets to the team as the
season progresses.
In the first game Don Love
carried the pitching load very
well, putting down several Wasp
uprisings until he tired in the
sixth and allowed them to tie the
score at three-all. Dave Livengood
took over in the seventh.
Joe Dunn, who started in left
field in the second game, Gary
Hammonds, Bob Ward and Duffy
Wood have shown good fielding
and may work into starting posi
tions.
Both games were scheduled as
seven-inning affairs, but with the
score tied at the end of regular
play in the first game they went
an extra inning.
No further action is slated un
til after spring holidays. Action
will resume with William Jen
nings Bryan University here on
Apr. 20 and the Lions at Milligan
on Apr. 23.
Team Calls
In the eighth, Clark drove a
high fastball over the left field
fence to put Mars Hill ahead 4-3.
Livengood put the Wasps down in
order, and the Lions had opened
the season with a win.
IT a Draw
One surprising point in the
game was a lack of fielding errors
by the Lions. Another was the
fine pitching. Both were unex
pected after so little practice.
Spilman and Cottages battled
to a tie Wednesday night in the
finals of the intramural basket
ball tournament, and officials de
cided to call it a draw for the
night. Thursday the intramural
council agreed on a playoff late
Friday night.
The starting lineup in the
opener was Honeycutt at first,
team captain Clark at second,
Raines at short, Lou Hill at third
and Big Don Martin behind the
plate. The outfield included Mike
Farrell in left, Dick Newsome in
center and “Deacon” Ward in
right.
In the second game the out
come was never in doubt. The
Lions scored three runs in the
second inning and couldn’t be
An all-star team was chosen

of Spilman and John Hough of
Faculty.
