Lcuisburg Is To
Have Boxing T’m |
Coach Suttenfield has just an
nounced that Louisburg College
will be represented by inter-col
legiate boxing team this year.
This will be the first time in the
history of the school that Louis
burg has been represented by four
m:g'or sports teams.
There is an abundance of ma
terial for Coach to work with and
with the experience that Mr. Sut
tenfield has had in this line, we
should have as good a team as
was the football team.
Among those who are to be out
for the team are: Tom Ploskins,
former high school champ of East
ern N. C. high schools, Tom will
fight in the 155 lb. class. Neldon,
who is former heavyweight champ
of C. M. T. C. at Fort Moultre,
S. C., Soole Chandler, former
member of University of South
Carolina boxing team. Soole will
fight in the 175 lb. class. Jack
L:;r.e, 115 lb. Rocky Mount High
School fighter, Chicken Bullock,
145, is an experienced fighter and
is one who can dish out and take
punishment. Harpo Ellis 125 lbs.
claims to be a former lightw'eight
champ of C. M. T. C. at Fort
Bragg.
Arrangements are being made to
secure the Ragland hall, which is
now being used as a dance hall,
as a place to stage the fights, and
with the material that is here to
work with it seems that it will
prove to be the most popular win
ter sport.

Some Sidelijrhts
On The Trojans
The Louisburg College Trojans
opened the season Friday Sept.
28, in Wiliamsburg, Va.. against
the strong W-M Freshman team.
After leading 7-6 at half the Tro
jans were defeated 25-7. This was
the worst licking handed the Tro
jans this season.
Friday night Oct. 5, the Trojans
lost to the Apprentice School,
Newport News Eleven 14-0. The
Apprentice School had, this year,
the most pow'erful team in the his
tory of this school. They defeated
Guilford 39-6. The Trojans put a
great figlft before they were final
ly defeated.
The Trojans played Gallaudet
College in Washington, D. C. on
Scit. October 6, the afternoon af
ter the Apprentice battle. Al
though they out-played the Gal-
Intidet boys the Trojans were held
to a 6-6 tie in a driving rain. The
Trojans failed to score on three
occasions after penetrating far in
to Gallaudet territory. This was
due to the fact that the Purple
and Gold boys played the night
before and travelled 250 miles the
morning of the game.
In the Homecoming game the
Trojans showed their offensive
wares to W-M (Norfolk Division)
to the tune of 45-0. The Trojans

Weldon-McFayden Combination
Plays Important Part In Victor
y
A smooth functioning football
machine, repre.senting Louisburg
College, piled up a 20 to 0 victory
over the Wake Forest College
Frosh. It was a well played game
and was packed with thrills
throughout. The Trojans scored in
every period but the first. The
pass combination, Weldon to Mc-
Fayden proved the downfall of the
“Baby Deacons” and was a very
definite factor in the final score.
The Trojans got off to a slow
start, but after they had begun
to click they were not to be denied.
The Trojans started their first
goal line march in the final min
utes of the second period. The Tro
jans took the ball from the Dea
cons on their own 15 yard line! f®*'crice of Hoyle and Davis and it
and on the first play from scrim- j best demonstration of
mage, Gibson picked up 15 yards; has been presented

16 on two plays. A pass from Wei-j Chandler, McFayden,
don to McFayden placed the ball Goodwin aid Bullock were the de-
on the Deacons’ 35 stripe. A pass! the encounter
to McFayden in the end zone was ! with Chandler playing one of the
incomplete, but on the next play defensive games of the sea-
Weldon j^assed to McFayden for; Trojans.
The Trojans outplayed the Frosh
in every department of the game
as the statistics will show. In first
downs the Trojans led 12 to 6. L.
C. attempted 9 passes and com
pleted 5 for gains of 120 yards.
Tlie Deacons attempted 15 sky-
specials and 4 of them readied
their destination for gains of 56
yards. The fast Trojan backs in
tercepted 4 of the Babys’ attempts
and the Deacons nabbed one of th?
Trojans’ tosses. In' the Trojan
backfield, Gibson was the out
standing star of the day with We';
don also furnishing good work
and plenty of action. The Trojans
were greatly aided by the inter
file Trojans’ first score. The try'
fo)' point was wide. Score L. (1 6
W. F. C. 0.
With only two minir.es left in
the third period, the Trojans, af
ter an exchange of punts took pos
session of the ball in mid field.

le play, sidestepped three would
be tacklers and crossed the final
marker to score. Weldon then
booted the point to bring the score
to Trojans 13, W. F. C. 0.
The final score of the encounter
came about midway of the final
period. Louisburg took the ball on
the visitors’ 45 after intercepting
a pass. On the first play Gibson
was held for no gain but on the
next play, Weldon tossed a pass_
to McFayden on the 30. Two more
line plays failed to gain and Wel
don was again called on to pass
to McFayden, w'ho took the ball
on the 15 yard mark and aided by
beautiful interference by Boland
crossed the final chalker for the
last touchdowni of the afternoon.
Weldon then dropped back into
kick formation and lifted a beau
tiful kick through the cross bars
to bring the score; Louisburg 20,
Wake Forest 0.
The Baby Deacons made only
one serious threat to score and
that came in the second period
when Yount intei’ecepted a Tro
jan pass and carried it 55 yards
to the Trojans’ 12 where he was
run down by Boland. Here the Tro
jan forward wall held for downs
and threw the Deacons back to the
15 yard marker where they secur
ed the ball and began their first
touchdown march.
