STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER
January, 1951
Scheduling of Basketball
Is a Headache
Many Non-Conference foes have
cancelled their basketball games with
STC because at those schools. There
was a misunderstanding of terms be
tween Shaw University and STC.
North Carolina Colege and Hampton
Institute are having budget trouble.
St. Augustine’s reason is unknown by
the writer.
In order to be recognized as true
champions, it is necessary to play
teams who are not members of your
own conference and defeat them. A
good example of tills was when A &
T College was declared the National
Mythical Champion by the INPS over
Southern University and Florida A &
M., this past football season.
I sincerely hope that Coaches of the
Colegiate rank will hold true to their
contracts, be they written or oral. A
man’s word should be his bond. When
other seasonal sports come around, I
hope that there will be no misunder
standing of any kind. Budget difficul-
tis cannot be helped. These reasons
may be true and sound. Being no
journalistic authority to say “E.xactly”
what is what, I solemnly believe that
we have a good basketball team
which is functioning beyond the play
ing ability of some of the nearby
teams.
