THE MERCER CLUSTER
Bear's Finish
With 13-9 Card
By Art Hapoer
The Mercer Bears under the leadership of Claude Smith finished
their 1967 season Monday with Georgia Tech.
Though losing the last three
games in a row the Bruins pre
served a winning 13 and 9 record.
Doing an outstanding job on the
mound Ihis year for the Bears was
senior, Charles Stewart; soph.
Mike Crook, and freshmen Mark
Stienheck and Buddy Wilkes.
Highlights of the '67 season
were many considering how young
a .dub Coach Smith fielded. Al
though two seniors are leaving, Al
ton Kendall and Charels Stewart,
Coach Smith plans to better his sea
son record next year. Returning
next spring will he: juniors- Rufus
Dowell and Phil Jones, soph- Mike
Crook and Chuck Ogburn, fresh
men- Robert Belloir. Chester Pierce,
Richard Jacobs, Ray Sullivan.
Mark Stienheck, Buddy Wilkes,
Larry Joye. and Spears Westbrook.
A hopeful return will be pitcher
Harvey Cochran, out this season
for "minor injury."
One of the exciting points of the
season was Mercer's 3-4 loss to Au
burn: the Bears held the Tigers
scoreless for eight innings only to
lose on a grand slam home run in
the ninth with two outs. Another
fine |>erformance came only two
days later when the Univ. of Miami
battled Mercer for fourteen inn
ings. then took home the victory
on errors.
This year's baby Bears combined
a solid team effort to accomplish
something a team of veterans
couldn’t do last year •• SI double
plays in 22 games.
When it comes to the stick our
little fellows are no weaklings. Four
Bruins finished the season batting
around three hundred, comparison;
last year no one finished above
.286 Robert Belloir hit two home
runs, with Chuck Ogburn and Ray
Sullivan each connecting for one.
Rufus Dowell lead the team in
runs batted in and walks, while
Belloir was the leading scorer.
Right-hander Charlie Stewart and
left-hander Mark Steinbeck both
finished with 6-2 seasons on the
ant-hill.
Looking to the future — with
only two graduating renion the
Bears are eyeing a fine season arid
record for next year. Eleven of the
thirteen lettermen will be return
ing.
Congratulations go out to Coach
Smith and the Whole Mercer
Squad and good luck next year.
Bears lost to Tech Monday 9-2.
Outstanding events were Steve
Weeman’s three run homer In the
ninth inning and Robert BeDoir’s
two run homer in the Bear half
of the ninth. Charles Stewart was
the losing pitcher and Bud Moore
took the victory. Tech is vying
for a berth in the NCAA region
playoffs bolding a 20-9 record so
far this season.

MERCER NETTORS FACE TOUGH
COMPETITION AT EMORY U.
By Reid Banks
Mercer basketball and baseball
players have had to confront su
perior competition oftentimes this
year. The same has been the case
with the tennis team as was proven
last Tuesday afternoon when Mer
cer players, winding up the last
trip of the year, traveled to Emory
in Atlanta e
Having met the Emory team ear
lier in the season in matches here
in Macon, Mercer players suc
cumbed to the visiting strong arms
by a score of 9-0, losing all six sin
gles matches and three doubles
matches.
With that score behind them, the
team had little hope of upsetting
the matches in Atlanta. Tuesday.
Their fears proved to be justified.
Again they were overwhelmed by
the Emory strength. In singles
matches Steve Nathaneon, sporting
an impressive win-loss record, fell
to Emory's Don Campbell.
The afternoon proved similarly
disappointing to Charles Cook who
went undre to Sam Wieeel; and the
lost in hard-fought matches. Ken
Pipkin fell to John Hurst, George
Weich to Bob Crowell, Dennis
Sanders to Jack Giles, and David
Litaoy to Richard Zorn.
Doubles matches turned out
equally discouraging. Nathaneon
teamed with Cook but lost to the
Emory combination of Campbell
and Crowell. Pipkin and Sanders
went under to Wieeel and Hurst.
Then David Lifsey and George
Newborn met the Emory chal
lengers, Dixon and Neslit, in what
appeared briefly to be the only
bright spot of the day, winning the
first sot but then falling with doee
one of which was a tiring and dis
appointing 18-16 gome loos.
The moult, than, again woe a 9-0
skunk, but the toons is to bo con
gratulated for a groat effort against
atanoat hopeless odds They deserve
for a woD played
