Page Four THE POLEMIC March 1972 LUMBERJACKS HAD PR081£MS For his second season at ACC Coach Bob Holup had a roster consisting of only three returning sophomores. Co-Captain Ed Peltz, Bill Soper, and Don Benion are the only players with experience from last year's Lumberjack squad. There is also another new and welcomed face a- side from the new players. ACC has a new Assistant Coach, Jerry Roberts. Jerry is an elementary physical education teach- er in the Alpena Public School System. The Lumberjacks had a smaller but much quicker team than last year and Coach Holup has sighted their quickness and good outside shooting as thislyear's biggest asset~. Their weaknesses were in the area of rebounding and turnovers. When they can put it together the Lum- berjacks are hard to beat. Most of this year's opponents showed plenty of experience. Macomb Commun- ity College had its starting five back and Lansing CC has basically the same teem, while Orchard Ridge had six returning lettermen. Delta and St. Clair were not as experienced as the others but still tough. Coach Holup and his Lumberjacks started off the season with four straight wins, and had am massed a 5-10 win- loss record through February 3 of the 71-72 season. Out d the 10 games lost, five were by !ess tha n eight points. The Jacks had also averaged 20 turnovers per game. Had they bePn able to score 45% of the 20 turnovers, their record could well have been 10 wins and 5 losses to that point. There are several problems besides the turnovers that contributed to their re- cord; but Coach Holup stated that they seemed to be their biggest problem. Of the remaining 13 games ACC i)lay- ed, they lost five and won seven. (North - western forfeited their second game). The Lumberjacks gained little on turn- overs, ending the season with an 18.5 average per game. While the Jacks had a losing season they were close in the game point average. The opponents' average of 93.4 is just a cut above the Lumber- jacks average of 90.6 points per game. The final win/loss record is 10 wins and 13 losses overall and a three win and nine loss record in the league. Next sea- son should prove to be a good one. Base/Jal/ Team Heading South The Alpena Community College Base- ball Team, lead by Coach Dick Miles, will leave March 31 to play ten games at five colleges in Kentucky and Tennessee.
