Joyce Quits

Tom Joyce, a 6-2,
185-pounder from Huntington,
New York, was scheduled to start
in Atlanta last night, but decided
Thanksgiving Day to withdraw
from the team, and apparently
from school as well.

Joyce has left Charlottesville to
join a basketball team touring
Europe, a team sponsored by TWA.
According to Coach Bill Gibson,
"Tom came to me Thanksgiving
morning and told me he had
received a call from John Gidding
[varsity player from last season's
squad] asking him if he would like
to join the team since one of their
regular guards was getting married.
I tried to tell him that he should
remain in school and get his
education and so did his family, but
he said he wanted to do this."

Joyce's departure seemingly
leaves Kevin Kennelly and Chip
Miller at the guard positions.
