After over a month of
intramural play, it is not yet
decided who will win the two
divisions, and probably won’t be
until the last gun sounds. There
are still some key games yet to
play.
In the Fraternity League, Chi
Phi and Kappa Sigma are in a tight
battle, each carrying 3-1 records,
while Theta Psi trails with a 3-2
mark. Following Theta Psi are the
Swamp Foxes (KA Psi), with a 2-2
mark, and A.K. Psi at 1-3.

Pigs lead with a 4-0 mark followed
closely by the Hockos with a 4-1
record. Trailing these two are: the
Forkers at 2-1; the Engineers, 3-2;
the Fifth House, 1-3; the Fourth
House, 1-3; the Third House, 14;
and the Second House, 14. In the
girls league, T.I.G.E.R. leads with
a 2-0 record while Hustlers trail at
1-0. Rounding out the standings
are; the Second Floor, 0-1; the
Second House, 0-2; and the
Fourth House.
The Pigs are the leading
offensive team, scoring 133 points
in four games for an average of
about 33 points a game. The

Chris Black is a very, well
rounded person. He is a southern
boy (Georgia) with an accent to
prove it, he is very interested in
art and plans to go into that .type
of field after graduation; he is a
business major; he’s in love with
Merle Haggard and country and
western music; but what probably
means most to him right now, is
the fact that he plays guard for
the UNCC basketball team.
Black, a 6-0 transfer from
Gainesville Jr. College in Georgia,
is a quite and friendly type of guy
who is intent on one thing, being
a winner. That is one reason he
came to UNCC. He had been in
close contact with head coach Bill
Foster since his sophomore year
in high school, and played
freshman ball at The Citadel,
where Foster was varsity assistant
coach. He know’s Foster’s
winning reputation.
“He’s a winner,” claimed Black.
“He’s never had a losing team.
He’s going to bring a winner here,
too. Coach Foster is a defensive
coach and that is what it takes to
wm.
Even though he averaged 20
points a game last year for
Gainesville, Chris doesn’t get as
big a thrill out of pumping in a 20
footer as he does maldng a good
pass. “I would rather make a good
assist or stop an opponent from
scoring than score myself,” he
said. “In high school, scoring is
the big thing, but in collage ball,
you find out scoring isn’t
everything.”
Black has a philosophy about
basketball that is similar to that of
coach Foster’s. “I think basketball
teaches and helps you in
everything you do. It developes
your pride and discipline,' and
these are very important factors. I
think people look for athletes
after school is out to work for
them because they know what the
athletes have been through. I
think in general, basketball
teaches you a lot about life.”
The local busing situation in
Charlotte is something new to
Chris, who says there is no such
problem in Georgia. “I’m not that
familiar with the busing situation
here,” he explained. “You might
think Georgia would have a bad
racial situation but it is really one
of the best in the country. It has
been very fortunate because it has
had very few instances of trouble.
It is a bad situation here and I
hope they get it straightened
out.”
Chris has several pro basketball
favorites such as Jerry West who
“does everything well,” and Joe
Caldwell who “isn’t bad either”;
but he hasn’t even given a thought
about playing pro basketball.
“Right now. I’m mainly interested
in commercial art and I probably
will go to art school after
graduation. This school doesn’t
offer an art major so I am
majoring in the closest thing I
could find to it, business.”
And what about that country
and western music? “I didn’t want
to bring my records to school
with me because I didn’t want
everybody to make fun of me.
But I was surprised because half
of the team likes that kind of
music. I don’t know exactly why I
like it. I guess I’m just an old
country boy at heart.”
The pursued and the pursuerer.
