Pearhne Alston Randall Leads S. T. C. Win; A. Davis Scores; Jackson’s Running and King’s Pass Turn Back “Baby Trojans.” VERNON RANDALL After losing games to St. Augustine and Morristown, the Pirates of S. T. C. hit the win column by defeating Norfolk State 14-0 before a homecom ing crowd. The margin of difference was the revamped backfield of John Jackson and Atlas Davis at the half, Raymond Rhinehardt at full, and Vernon Randall at quarter, who was converted from an end. Neither team was able to score in the first half. Elizabeth City State scored its first touchdown on a fum bled put which Little of Norfolk bob- bled. Jackson, Rhinehardt, and Ran dall carried and with the aid of an off side penalty, the ball rested on the one, from where Davis tallied. Thompson’s conversion was good. Linemen Andrews, L. Davis, Burrell, Dewey Clarke, Cashwell, Greer and Miales punched holes in Norfolk s of fense. Norfolk backs. Little, Moyler, Hursey and Burney tried to outrun the Pirates many times, but to no avail. Also in the third quarter. Rocky Randall tore around right end, picked up blockers, and ran 52 yards to score. A personal foul nullified this touchdown. With fourth and five and the ball resting on Norfolk s 18-yard line. Coach Williams sent in a single wing machine with Bobby King at tailback. King heaved a spiralled pass to James Greer, glue fingered end. Thompson converted as the final score read 14-0. Although they did not see much action, backs Scott and Wilkes “strut ted their stuff” for long gains through the Trojan line. Father time killed this drive saying, “All good things must come to an end. S. T. C.

C. Sparked by Douglas Jackson, a sophomore, who scored three touch downs, the Fayetteville Broncos romped to an easy 19-6 victory over the helpless Elizabeth City State Pi rates. The Broncos scored in the first, third and fovirth quarters to gather their 19 points. All scores were from runnig plays. Defensively, Fred Tol liver, Johnny Jiggets, Andrew Turner and Allison Stanley were the bul- works for the victors. Elizabeth City scored its lone touchdown in the first quarter on a running play when full-back Roy Rhinhardt ran to his left, was trap ped, reversed the field and scored from about 20 yards out. The try for the extra point by Thompson failed. Clarence Dowd, William Andrews, James Greer stopped the Bronco backfield many times along safety man, John Jackson. Defensively, Tolliver, and offen sively, Douglas Jackson made the big difference in the game which enabled Fayetteville to win the Annual Teach ers Classic and Conference honors. Although the first half ended 6-6, the Broncos dominated play with the dazzling and spectacular running of Jackson. He is not a smart runner, but a boy who has guts and determi nation. His statement throughout the game was, “You can’t stop me.” One who makes a statement as this needs to be commended. As a result, the Broncos will receive the Presidents’ cup (Williams-Seabrook) a conference trophy, and the players will get gold footballs. This is the third consecutive year that the Pirates have marched up to the championship door only to be turned back. In 1949, Norfolk edged the Pirates 7-6. In 1950, the same two teams battled to a 0-0 stalemate, and in 1951, the Pirates sank at Fayette ville. The Pirate’s record for 1951 is 4 losses and 3 wins for .4.38 percentage.

MAZE’S FEMININE SPORTS ANGLE Loyalty is described as being de voted, honest and faithful. Why not be loyal to our Alma Mater? Some of our students, particularly freshmen, have been seen wearing letters from their High Schools, in some instances letters they didn’t earn. We have va rious organizations for you to join if you wish letters. Why not try earning one. Hats off to the Pirates!!! They shel lacked the Trojans 57-51. Before the game Louise Battle and Ernestine Davis, dressed as Pirates, carried on the gym floor a banner “Here Come The Pirates.” Leading the Pirates were the dashing cheer leaders, Inez, Jean Whitfield, Dimples Williams, and Mazor Slade. The Pi rates in their new uniforms received a great ovation from the crowd. This columnist interviewed Miss E. M. Gamble who said, “I think the program that was planned before the game was colorful, and this caused more school spirit. The new uniforms are an asset to the basketball team.” Mrs. Carter says, “The pride and con fidence of S. T. C. were reflected in the dazzling, white and blue uniforms worn by the Pirates. Maze wishes you a Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. WEST VIRGINIA STATE EDGES STATE TEACHERS Win Streak Snapped at Four; Tootle Hits for 32 Points.
