Coach Arnold Me Knight, al most a shoo-in for titular play in 1971 CIAA baseball, was so m iffed by the sudden descent of his nine, at season’s end, that he promptly submitted his res ignation from a two-year stint, as head baseball coach.

While admitting that he has been busily engaged in recruit ing future stars, to mend an awful defense problem, “down the middle,” Coach McKnight paid high tribute to several of his players, who, in his opinion, “never quit.” Captain Stevn Powell, last season’s fire-balling sensation, won praise for pitching a twin bill against Virginia State. “Think of it,” recalled the coach, “Powell was ruined, -1-3, by the nine errors we committed as a team.” A feature of the team was the brilliant catching and hitting of Clenn Harris, whose 24 runs batted-in and long ball hitting, especially in the clutch, was supported by an overall .334 batting average. “Harris is easily the finest college catcher in the Fast,” commented Coach McKnight. Other standouts were Rock Newman, a .321 stroking third baseman, and major league draftee Bob Woodland, whose shoulder injury helped create the descent. * * * Jerry Mills, the aggressive little freshman from Hamlet who played second base for the baseball Wolfpack, wound upas the team leader in both doubles and triples despite his size.
