Page 4, The Carolina Journal, Dec. 18, 1968 Where They Gonna Play' (Continued from Page 2) There will be a great need for athletic facilites. There should be tennis courts, basketball courts, volley ball courts, soccer fields, softball and baseball diamonds. The amount of athletic equipment will have to be increased to meet a demand for it. Students should be allowed to check out equipment for any sport. This perhaps should be the first step. Because it will require time for the playing areas to be developed. If a student has access to the equipment, there are nearby areas where it could be put to use. All of this will require a great amount of planning. It is easy to sit and enumerate things which will be beneficial to the students, but what must be realized is that the time factor becomes smaller as we sit and enumerate. Planning committees are fine things, but they are second, to action committees, and September is less than ten months away. LAU SCORES THREE Fen cers Drop Two lix F. N. Stexurt The Parquet Room resounded .Saturday afternoon with the clash of steel and French as members of the UNC-C fencing club dueled with members of the clubs from St. Augustine and N. C. State. The meet was unofficial as the UNC C team is not a member of the NCAA league. In the men’s competition. Cliff Lau, a UNC-C junior and President of the Fencing Club, scored three points, the highest scorer for Charlotte. It was a losing, effort, however, as UNC-C fell to St. Augustine 8-1. Lau’s was the only point scored against the men’s team from N. C. State as they defeated UNC-C 6-3. Lau scored the other two points against N.C. State. The men dueled with electric foils and suits wired for contact. (Any time an opponentsfoiltouched the fencer’s protective jacket, a buzzer sounded and a light flashed on the scorer’s table.) The men battle under a five-m inute time limit for 49’ers Rely On Sticky Defense (By Mike Combs) After seven games of the present season, the 49’ers have a 2-5 record. It’s not exactly a coach’s dream, but Coach Murphy is pleased with the progress of the team. The one element that seems to be lacking is a quick guard to run the offensive show. Mainly relying on a sticky defense as in the latest St. Andrews game, the teams lacks luster in its offensive game. One improvement over last year is the number of men on the team. In years past, foul trouble has caused the team to have to play with four men on the court. More players also gives an opportunity to rest the starters so that they may play at their best. Ttie addition of Coach Bostian to Murphy’s staff has also aided in relieving pressure on the coach. Fie now has more time to recruit and to spend with the team. Now one player has been consistently outstanding for the team. Each game, one or two players dominate the action. If all the men get together and have a good night at the same time, the opponents will just have to wonder what happened to them. Outstanding performances have been turned in by Jerry Anthony, Pete Donahue, Jim Turpin, and Bob Lemmond. Jerry Franks promises to be Coach Murphy’s answer to the problem at guard. The 6’3” freshman has been used at forward and guard, but Murphy would like to make a permanent guard out of him. Ben Basinger, who has been known to have foul trouble, has played more consistent ball this year. Quite a bit of responsiblity rests on the bench. Much of the fate of the team in the rest of the season weighs in the balance of the performance of the bench. Another factor that improves the play of any team is the support of its fans. A crowded, vociferous cheering section is like a constant flow of adrenalin to any team.
