BASEBALL
TENNIS With a nucleus of underclassman the 1970 tennis team of Coach Luther Young began
its season by beating Huntingdon 7-2 . The smallest number to ever come out for the team
left the netters with little or no depth for the year.
After having several matches rained out the team was able to travel to Georgia and defeat
Mercer, 8-1, and the Fort Benning Officer's Club 7-2 in an exhibition match . The Georg ia
Bulldogs won every set in the nine matches to defeat Auburn , 9-0 . Despite closely contested
matches, the Tigers could do no better than last in a quadrangle meet at Ole Miss. Following
a 7-2 win over Samford in Birmingham the team was rained out in a match with Birmingham
Southern, but the efforts in Birmingham of Steve Davis and Mike Tinkey gave an added
incentive to the team .
The loss of Tommy Mike, No. 2 man , hurt but the team bounced back from the loss to
take Samford 8-1 and Birmingham Southern 6-3 while losing to Alabama 6-3 . Mike Tinkey
was the only member of the team to advance into the second round of the SEC tourney
at Miss . State as Tennessee captured the championship over Georgia.
The tennis team has not been up to par with most of the other schools in the conference
in recent years although they have managed to remain above .500 during that time. With
only four players currently on partial scholarship it is hoped that in the future more scholar-
ships can be provided to net players of a higher caliber.
GOLF Beginning the season with an uncertain lineup the Tigers were beaten by Columbus
College 389-393. Coach Dragoin then held a thirty-six hole match to determine who
the low six would be. With the team set they were able to finish no better than
sixth in the eight-team Tennessee Invitational tournament in Knoxville.
Playing at Saugahatchee Country Club Auburn was able to top both Tech and
West Florida only to finish second to Tech in Atlanta. Hart and Parrish led Auburn
to the nine stroke victory over Tech while Butch Whiddon was medalist with a 69
in Atlanta. After being rained out against Chipola JC the Tigers bowed to FSU in
Tallahassee 297-300 . In a quadrangle match at Callaway Gardens Coach Dragoin's
golfers were beaten by Georgia 400-387 but did tie Columbus while taking the Tide
by nine strokes. In preparing for the SEC tournament Auburn finished only four strokes
behind NCAA bound FSU and in front of Miss State 408, Jacksonville 410, and
Columbus College at 419.
With a successful 15-6-1 season completed Auburn had high hopes of finishing
in the top three at the Callaway Gardens tournament in which they had only finished
sixth the year before. With a balanced effort the golfers finished fifth in the SEC
only two strokes behind the Volunteers . Although no one was able to finish in the
top 19, Bill McDonald was named to the All-SEC second team-a great Auburn golf
victory in itself.

SWIMMING
For the second season in 28 years , Auburn had an intercollegiate swimming
team . Until 1970, the last time the Tigers competed in the Southeastern Conference
Championship was in 1942. Unlike the '70 season when Coach Bill Washington
had to recruit members of the student body to swim , the '71 team had more
experience and better conditioning . With a layoff of three decades the team could
not be as competitive as desired but was able to win several dual meets. Several
opponents held a dec ided edge over the team due to both experience and
conditioning .
Bill Bullock led the short distance freestyle swimmers placing in nearly every
meet. Tom Vanwert managed to endure the long distance freestyle events and
win on several occasions. Intermediate backstroke and freestyle swimmer Donnie
Morley proved to be an asset to the team winning most of the events he entered .
The team 's record included several lopsided losses-14-90 against the University
of South Carolina, a 34-77 loss at the hands of Georgia, 31-67 to Vandy, and
to the Big Orange 30-71. Several of the losses were fairly close including those
to Tulane 44-64, to the University of the South 51-57 , to Georgia Tech 44-59,
and to Emory 52-59. However, the team did manage to win their first dual meet
in twenty-nine years when they defeated Dekalb College 54-43 . The team also
defeated Dekalb later in the season 71-37 thus opening the way for a brighter
future and great expectations for the SEC meet in early March .

WIA is not just throwing or batting a ball around , for
much of what goes on in the Women 's Intramural Associa-
tion takes place behind the scenes-new ideas originate
in the Memorial Coliseum office, in a classroom , or in a
rap session . It takes ambitious officers, eager repre-
sentatives from all organizations, efficient sportsheads ,
good game officials, and, of course, the women who par-
ticipate, to make the organization go.
Those on the council working behind the scenes have
been exceptionally busy this year cussing and discussing
a suitable point system and the place of extramurals within
the association , as well as running the program of activi-
ties .
No new sports were initiated and Dorm J, as in 1969-70,
dominated competition with a majority of trophy winners
both in individual and dual sports and team sports .
Another popular aspect of WIA is the extramural pro-
gram , including intercollegiate competition in badminton,
basketball, tennis, and volleyball. Highlighting the year was
Auburn 's participation in the Second DGWS National Inter-
collegiate Volleyball Championships at the University of
Kansas in February. This was the first participation by any
Alabama college in national competition for women .
WIA is looking forward to assisting Auburn University
in hosting the DGWS National Intercollegiate Tennis
Championships in 1972 and 1973.

PANHELLENIC
COUNCIL
Panhellenic Council , the representative body of Auburn 's sorority women, is composed of the president,
the chapter adviser, and the Panhellenic representative of each of the fourteen national sororities on
campus. Acting as a force for change, it is a unified body striving constantly to keep the Greek system
strong and to help it become more meaningful. The Council serves to further inter-sorority relationships
through a series of planned activities involving individual sororities as well as other campus and commu-
nity groups . It also coordinates the activities of the Junior Panhellenic Council which is composed
of the pledge class president and representative of each sorority.
From its Scholarship Fund , Panhellenic awards a scholarship to a foreign student each year. This
year it has presented Financial Scholarships to deserving sorority members and specific scholarship
awards are given quarterly and annually. From the Benevolence Fund, contributions were made to
the Lee County Council for Neglected Children , the Auburn Christman Jaycee Project, and other worth-
while campus and community projects.
Greek Forum, planned jo intly with the lnterfraternity Council , is perhaps the major project of the
Council. Greek Forum is a time when topics pertinent to sororities and fraternities are studied and
evaluated . Outstanding fraternity men and women are invited to Auburn for this event to help give
individuals and chapters an opportunity to evaluate their roles as Greeks and to take a critical look
at their goals.
