CANOEING, ANYONE? ATHLETIC COMPLEX GOOD FOR MORE THAN BALL Water almost covered trance to the fields. By Ian Lawrence A 1933 Catawba graduate pledged $100,000 to the con- struction of the college ' s new six-field athletic complex. Generous E.B. Frock may be getting more than he ' s paying for. Students discovered that the complex, made up of soccer practice and game fields, soft- ball and hockey fields, is also good for boating. The complex is constructed on a flood plain that has formerly been ignored by developers. When heavy rains fell most of Febru- ary and the first of March, the plain and the athle- tic fields were lost under little over five feet of water. So out went the soccer balls and in came the oars. Coach Bill Haggerty brought his canoe and Eddie Forrest brought his friends for a one-day only boating adventure on Frock Lake. The athletic complex was constructed last year in conjunction with the City of Salisbury. Catawba added bleachers, lights, and a scoreboard just this year. Other improvements will be made with the funds donated by Frock. Vegetation and woods surrounding the area are already being cleared for a fitness trail to be started next year. The facilities are open to residents of the com- munity. The soccer team has prob- ably benefited the most from Mr. Frock ' s donation. The team ' s home field was pre- viously at the nearby Veter- an ' s Administration Medical Center. Games there were often poorly attended, in contrast to games on the new lighted field where nearly 500 fans turned out to see each game. the posts at the en- E.B. FROCK ATHLETIC FIELDS 13
