Win Orar Florida Southern
EAGLES—
(Continued from Page 5)
Gordy was followed by Robert
Bellior with 18, Jud Roberts hit
on 16 and Jim Graham cashed in
13.
The Bears stayed close in the
first few minutes of the game, but
by halftime, the Eagles had pulled
away and went into the dressing
room with a 43-37 lead.
Southern led by as much as 12
points after intermission, but the
Bears refused to die and came
roaring back. With the score
knotted at 72-72, Roberts hit a
bucket that put the Bears on top
for good.
The Bears came out of the dress
ing room in the second half and
employed a full-court press that
was instrumental in the come-back
win.
Marvin Bailey, a product of
Appling High in Macon, held
Southern’s big Roger Moore to 12
points, less than half Moore’s sea
son average of 26 points per game.
The win puts Mercer’s record
at 10-9 for the year, and gave
Southern a 13-5 slate. The Bears
had defeated Southern earlier in
the year in the finals of Mercer’s
Invitational Tourney.
Baseball Moves
Inside Gym
Jack Frost is playing havoc with
coach Claude Smith’s efforts to get
a jump on the busy baseball
schedule he has for this year.
The Bears mentor, who sat up
his pitching machine about three
weeks ago, was all smiles last week
as four of his practice days was
blessed with sunshine. However,
that smile was on its way as those
blue skies turned to grey, and his
chargers were forced to work out
indoors on Friday.
Coach Smith said the Bears will
continue to run and throw inside
while waiting for the weather to
break.
Bean Ride Rollins
For 85-71 Victory
Junior Robert Bellior scorched
the nets for 22 points in the second
half to lead the Bears to a 85-71
win over the Rollins College Tars
on the Tars home court
Bellior shot 31 points in the
game, but got plenty of scoring help
from Little All-America hopeful
Jud Roberts with 20, Bruoe Gordy
with 14 and Jim Graham with 12.
The Bears used a full court press
that completely unnerved the Tars
and caused a large number of turn
overs. The Rollins squad also had
a hard time finding the basket, and
their only lead was 3-2 in the
opening minutes of the game.
Jim Graham was the leading re
bounder for the Bears with 16,
while freshman Marvin Bailey
grabbed 14 errant shots. .The Bears
outrebounded the Tars 40-34, and
hit on 34-79 shots from the field
while Rollins hit on 30-78.
The win was the fourth straight
for the Bears and leaves them with
a 12-9 record for the year. Rollins
is now 14-8.
Bears In Contract
With Tarheels
Mercer University has signed a
contract with the University of
North Carolina for a basketball
game next season.
The game will be played on Dec.
3 in Chapel Hill, NS., and will be

Brother Jim Cheshire has been
enjoying his newly-won privileges
of brotherhood, at least that's what
his ex-pledge brothers are saying.
Wonder why he carries a dozen
eggs around all the time.
A small gathering of Southern
Gentlemen celebrated “At least We
Are Not At Mercer This Week-end 1 ’
Day at the home of the renowned
host and hostess, Fred and Joy. As
usual the hit of the party was James
Campbell and his wild women tales.
Gossip flourished as to the cause
of James' early departure, but
later investigations revealed that
he suffered from an acutt case of
shock when his date did not end
the plans for the evening because
she felt sick—or for any other ex
cuse.
Kappa Chapter welcomed Meg
Gokee who was visiting the AD Pis
a few weekends ago. Meg was es
corted around the Bond Street
Party Palace by Len Whatley.
Pledge Marty Keller has had his
hands full lately with building the
barbecue pit and all. Could he be
James Campbell’s little brother?
Think about it.
Brother R. B. Curley proved him
self first class by getting a polic*
escort for he and his wife-to-be
after car trouble developed in a
secluded area. Bryant was really -
amazed when he discovered that
to fix the trouble he had only to
turn on the ignition. The nice
policeman wasn’t!
KAPPA SIGMA
Several brothers and “friends”
found out what it’s like to spend a
weekend in Highlands, N.C. with-
the second game of the season for
the Bears.
It is a one year contract and the
Tarheels won’t be coming to the
Bears Den.
It will mark the first game bet-
vfeen the two schools on the hard
wood, although the Bears play the
Tarheels practically every year in
baseball.
North Carolina, who was upaet
last week by a young South Caro
lina team, finished second to the
Bruins of UCLA last year and are
expected to be in the running again
this year.
Charlie Scott, North Carolina’s
sensational junior, is regarded as
one' of the beet in the nation and
will be around for the game with
the Bears next year.
Jud Roberts and Tom Mitchell
are the only Bears who’ll miss the
encounter, with both being loss by
graduation.
