Preliminary Game At
7:00 O'clock
Etika's Rayonites, second place
finishers in the Southern Textile
League last season, open their
12th year under the direction of
Sam Patton Saturday night at
Hot Springs against Earl Wooten
and his Piedmont Rangers, de
fending champs of the circuit.
The game, with tipoff time at
8 o'clock, is to serve as the fea
ture of a program for the new
1,500 seat high school facility.
The Rayonites have been hard
at work rounding into shape for
the past couple of weeks and
have been very impressive in 4
practice games with various ju
nior college teams.
With the exception of four
players the roster is the same as
it was in 1957-58 when they roll
ed up 12 Textile wins wnile, drop
ping four. Piedmont won the ti- ,
tie with a 14-4 record. r
Gone from last year's team are
Bob Saylor and Jim Patton,. both",
of whom have given up the hard-' V
wood sport. Replacing them, are
Floyd Pryor, a-WCC player last"
year, and Scott Conner, . who has"'
' just completed a hitch. in the
i "yif"'" r, ywn.-.

was one of the top defensive piay
eds at WCC last year. ,
Patton lias altered his of fen ,
sive patterns for his team and -
plans to play a more deliberate
type of ball with possession, be
ing stressed. "It's the same type
as used by Maryland and West
Virginia," Sam said Saturday.
He indicated that lack of height
was largely responsible for the
change,
"Our biggest weakness," -' he
said, "will be in rebounding.- A
side from Pappy Neal (6-9) we r
have no real tall players. Floyd
Pryor is 6-2 and after that the
boys stand right at the six foot
mark. We'll be able to run pret
ty good and our defense should be
good." v .
