Page Four STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER Friday, October 20, 1950 Fashion Review Coach Robert L. Vaughn Post Game Notes Coach Williams almost cleaned the bencli. This is the first time that the “Pirates” have won their opening game in the last four years. A word from Coacli Staggers of Voorhees: “You have a wonderful and balanced team. State surprised me, and I believe that she will surpri.se manv other teams. Good Luck!” Take it as you may—Lee Booth is a .swell guy on and off the field. His arm pumped tlie passes that paved the wav for victory. “Dynamite” Taylor really exploded in the Voorhees game. Do you know that he is quite modest? Extra—Atlas Davis tackled two men almost simultaneously after missing a pass. Davis tackled the intercepter who lateraledto a teammate. Still on the ground, Davis reached out, and down camp tlie second man. Good work I sayl ^ A Tribute to Captain Trotter Who is “Tubby” Trotter? He is the dashing young man of the gridiron for S.T.C., and he plays more defen sive hall than offensive. Trotter hails from Petersburg. Virginia. During W'orld War H, lie served with the Navy. Trotter attended Virginia Union in 1947, but later transferred to S. T.C. Since he has been here, Trotter has handled himself as a gentlemen on the field and off the field. He is a living monument to all of those who are Freshmen, Sophomores, anrl lu- niors. W'hile on the gridiron, Trotter is very agile and vicious. He stands five feet, seven inches, and weighs 17.5 pounds. For a small man, he posse,ss- es the power of man\- men. “Tubby” Trotter, yom' services have been \aluahle, and if yoti were to graduate to-day or to-morrow, the old “Pirate” School would always renieni- b('r \'ou as a failhlnl conten.ler. To Find . . . To find some height that I may reach —that is my goal, To find some place in destiny that I may hold. Sometimes I find, but cannot hold, a peace immeasureable; Sometimes I’m weak, but cannot fall Why? My goal I do not know—I must for ever try. A lending hand I cannot heed because I know To find this goal, I must forever be One who in darkest night can always see The slightest hill, the slighte.st ditch —or fall Below the reach of any human call. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the pain to find, But then I think that when I do. it will be mine. —Nellie R. Drew, ’.51. SPORTS NOTES In a game back in the nineties, a coach sent his reserve quarterback in to the gam?. His last words to the player were “Run, pass, and kick”. With this in mind, the quarterback entered the game, passed for thirty yards, and ran the pigskin down to the two. On the \ery next play, he got back into ]5unt formation and booted the ball out of the park. Do yoit get it? (No discretion). “I an) deeply pleased with the spirit of the team and of the students. I shall do my best to make this a glo rious seasou- —Coach Hoiisen. One day a Virginia football coach M'as selecting material for a scrim mage All posts were filled except one —offensive fullback. Finally, he ask ed for a \'olunteer. An energetic fresh man spoke up and said “Which one loacli—left or right. ■‘Cheezo’ Enoch is playing his last .season for “De Ole Alma Mater.” Good hick, kid! Black Comes Back Without ever really departing from black, fashion designers go back, with the follow-up being gray, particularly the classic gray flannel. All designers agree that nothing else will do except black as the basic acceSGOries. Yes - shoes, hat and handbag—all black. Rough-’n Ready Tweed Goes Formal Designers have changed the rough-’n -ready tweed into a soft-’n-ready dress up affair. The casual sport style suit has made its entrance as a dress-up attire and is considered every bit as correct as a corsage at a formal. Among the fall fashion color for 50-51 are tweeds with reddish and purple shades accented with black ac cessories. For jewelry, with tweed, no pearl or rhinestone set is too flashy. Trends Featuring the shorter jacket with the slim skirt, the full style accentu ates the high collars half enclosing a small capped head with the straight ness of the narrow skirt taken in the form of pleats or breaking into a gen tle flare. The pretty, turned-back cuff and long, crushed, shiny capeskin gloves are still the most sought after, while fur and velvet trimming featuring the fur buttons is returning to coats. Skirt lengths seem to have settled at 14V2 to 15 inches from the floor. Charm and Poise are just as im portant as the wardrobe. SPORTS NOTES Did you know that Sammy Baugh of the “Redskins” wears number thir ty-three, and that his age was one year more? Look for Ollie Matson of the San Francisco College to make the hair of many people stand up. Matson is a Negro. Atlas “Spud” Davis weighs 150 pounds, and Coach Williams is using him as a fullback. Usually a fullback is overgrown, weighs heavily, possess es big muscular legs, etc. “Spud” has neither, but he does have the will power, endurance, balance and speed to carry him on. The latter is what present day coaches stress. Do you know tliat: L Elizabeth City State lost its first basketball game to Huntington 77-0? 2. Professor Powe can shoot a bas ketball? Watch him in action this year. 3. President Wilhams was a star athlete. 4. “Slick” Booth made the All- Pa cific basketball team in 1948-49 while in the service. CHATTER Round the Campus W'ell, kiddos, we’re all back, both old and new, and since you like chat ter, here it is! Football boys are bold and brave, but on our team this year are two bashful beaux. During the game on September 30, the little one gained a foot for us, and the big one let four boys emerge uninjured after tackling them. Every football player can’t be greet ed after a victorious game by a bet ter half—huh? Mr. . A certain captain of a certain team has had quite a number of misfortunes this year. First, he lost his great ad mirer, then his son. Maybe Husk can afford to give him an admirer, and let us hope the new coach will take the son’s place. Two Freshman boys are seen mak ing a bee-line for Symera Hall quite regularly. Could they be visit ing young ladies who both have parts of royal names? He’s up to it again. Not only does he play quarter-back, but he plays a new Freshman every quarter. So cheering Captain, Bewore! The effect of the Korean War has been felt on the campus — Drawing conclusions from “Tommie’s fac.‘ when “Bones” received greetings from his “Uncle.” Maybe the temperature in Bias Hall preserves “Snow” better than that in Symsra, Whatta you say Miss ? Women are surely like the weather. Can you imagine one who would stop admiring a great sax player to notice a new car? Maybe “Lou Lefty” can give you some info. There’s one guy on the campus who isn’t a chamelon. He’s still taking the same route to Symera Hall with the same girl. He won an award for being an all-around student, and this fair maiden won his heart. It s an ill wind that never changes. A certain Sophomore who occupied a Boreal football player Saturday night pro.ed this to be true. Strange things are really happening! Eh? Many couples take to Lover’s Lane, but recently the students seem to be finding the Canteen a good substitute. Is it because they do not have enough love to keep them warm? The moving hand “having writ moves on” and will be back next month to lure you to Chatter ’Round the Campus. Be seeing ya. REV. RUDD SPEAKS AT FIRST ASSEMBLY On Wednesday morning, September 13, the College held its first formal Assembly. The speaker for the oc casion was the Reverend M. S. Rudd of the Moimt Lebanon A.M.E. Zion Church of Ehzabeth City. In addressing the students, Reve rend Rudd used as a subject: “For Ye Have Not Passed This W'ay Be fore”. A timely and significant ques tion: Do we know ourselves? high- Iight('d the spcf'ch. fn answer, the speaker urged the audience to contin ue to study themselves, and not to find fault with others. He further admonished them to face the struggle for control of themselves and learn to make decisions that show strength Reverend Rudd concluded his speech with emphasis on the fact that everyone is born for a purpose, that the world ahead, which is unknown, is sometimes cruel and sometiiiie!^ kind: therefore man needs God.
