l\fonday, December 18, 1967 THE TUIBER--CRUISER Page 3 J'ACKS UNDEFEATED IN 3 GAMES Alpena Community Col- leges Lumberjacks areoff and running to what pos- sibly could be a good sea- son. The Jacks easily de- feated Northwestern on their 1st outing -- by the score of 108-59. They walked past Mackinac Col- lege 103-52 in their second contest, and defeated Northwestern College again in their third game 109-65. Those impressive victories might look good on paper, but to what ex- tent were the Jacks act- ually tested? Northwestern ~ has never been a power- house in the MJCC and their quintet this year is no exception. Mackinac College, though a 4 year institution, is only in it's second year of inter col- legiate basketball competi- tion. The truth of the mat- ter is the Jacks have not been tested at all. The upcoming games against Henry Ford, Grand Rapids, Davenport, and Delta should give the Jacks a good chance to show their true ability. If the Jacks make a good showing in these contests they should have a winning season. But if they don't, I'm afraid the team will have a hard time mustering a mediocre season let alone a winning one. If the right combina- tion for a starting five can be established a winning s ecrst> should -prevail . DRIVING ISN'T DRIVE , DEFENSIVELY NORTHEAST AUTO MERCHANTS ASSOC.

Coach McPhillips used all 15 players against Northwestern and 13 re- sponded in the scoring col- umn. Four of the five start- ers wound up in double fig- ures. Ken Parrish tossed in 21 points with a combina- tion of 10 field goals and l charity toss and was the Jacks leading scorer in the game. Carl Jones and Jim Yager were second to Parrish with 14 points each. Calvin Hicks and John Thomas . also finished the night ·n double figures. Hicks scored 13 and Thom- as was right behind with 12. ACC Ping-Pong Tournament Starts A.C.C.'s athletic depart- ment, with aid from some of the students, is sponsor- ing a table tennis tourna- ment. The first elimina- tion round was Dec. sixth, and the final round is Dec. 19th. Most o - he 6 men p~ar- ticipat ing in the singles tournament are good to ex- cellent players. Of the 26, the ones to watch the closest are: Mike Corne- lius, Ziad Newlaty, and Steve Tripp. ACC's Intramural Basketball Opens The Alpena Community College Intramural Bask- etball League opened its season Monday, Decem- ber 4. There were three games held at the Anna Besser Junior High Gym with the Has Beens defeat- ing the Ten Minus Ones in the first game. The Hep- -tads defeated the Gunners in the second contest, and the Generals were easily the victors over the Tro- jans in the third tilt. There were also three games on schedule on Tuesday, December 5. · In the first game the No. l's easily defeated the Card- inals. The second con- test found the Fraternity victors over the Morphs. The Heptads handed the Ten Minus Ones their second defeat in the third contest.

See: Serving Russell Wilson Resident Hall For Complete Laundry & Dry Cleaning Service ;Cuff's Quotes By Larry Link In the first annual Maroon and White scrimma~e held at the Alpena High School gym, coach Anspaugh s "Whites", by defeating Coach McPhillips' "Maroons" showed that the Lumberjacks will be a well-balanced team this season. If a lineup were chosen based on the performances of the players in that scrimmage, the starting five would be: Tim Lutes, Pat McDaniel, guards, Carl Jones, center, Ken Parrish, and Jim Yager, forwards. Lutes and McDaniel would be the guards because they performed well as a unit, unlike Thomas and Hicks who played as separate units. Did you know that the Virginia white-tailed deer gets more nourishment from the acorn than it does from any other native food? Next time you take a stroll through one of Michigan's National forests, take note of all the oak trees that are being "girdled" to make room for trees that are used in the lumber industry, such as Norway, and white pine trees. Naturally, it takes money, tax money, to pay men to destroy the oak trees and plant pine tree seedlings. All 6f this means that not as great a percentage of the tax dollar is being used to strengthen the deer herd as the Con- servation Department would have the Michigan public believe. With the close of the intramural football season, intramural basketball will soon be in full swing. Last season's champions, the "No. l's", minus three of last season's starters, seem unlikely to repeat as the league leaders. .- Although the Lumberjacks did well in their games with Northwestern, and Mackinaw, they are two of the weaker teams that ACC plays. It will be interesting to see if the Jacks have the same kind of success against Port Huron, and some of the other tough schools. When asked, members of A.C.C.'s coaching staff said that the college did not have the facilities nor the funds to field an ice hockey team. We feel they excluded two other ingredients; initiative and ambition.
