J. -Us- AAi/itWClUvf /it''*’ PIRATES WIN SEASON OPENER Whip Claflin University in Neat 12-7 The Elizabeth City College Pirates stuck almost entirely to the ground in pounding out an impressive 12-7 vic tory over a tough Claflin University football team in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The game played in over 100 degrees temperature was the open ing contest for both teams, Joseph Buggs opened the scoring for the Pirates with a six-yard plunge over the left side. The scoring drive which covered 78 yards was highlight ed by the running of Buggs and Branch. The final E. C. score was made by Albert Owens on a 37-yeard scamper around the left end. Tommy Liverman’s blocking paved the way for the run. The score followed a re covered fumble of Claflin. Claflin University scored their touchdown late in the fourth period after recovering a Pirates fumble on the Pirates 21-yard line. The scoring play was a roll out pass from the quarterback to the right halfback. The successful point after the touchdown made tlie score 12-7 with about four minutes to play. Outstanding along the forward wall for the Pirates were “Hurricane” Gor- dan. Baker, Mathews, Moody, Morgan, and Sawyei. SPORT TALK The Elizabeth City Pirates, once feared dominators of the Eastern In tercollegiate Athletic Association Con ference are entering into their first year of competition in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Associat ion with one of their better football teams. Lead by such outstanding veterans as A1 Baker, Dick Branch, Chuck Moody, Olando Hill, Richard Morgan, Eugene Stallings, Joe Buggs, and Ramone Rhinehard the pirates have looked impressive in their opening games. Boasting a seasoned and well balanced club, the Elizabeth City Pir ates are definite threats for top C.I.A.A. honors. Compliments certainly are due head coach William Harris and his staff for the fine showing of the Pirates this year. Taking over the post last year. Coach Harris installed his system, the now popular winged T, and guided the Pirates through the 1956 season. The Pirates won only three of nine, but considering the fact that a new system was installed and the Pirates faced their toughest opposition in years, 1956 was a good year. This year fully acquainted with the system, the Pirates are rolling. Start ing off with the 12-7 victory over Claflin University, the Pirates have looked better each week. One reason for the fine showing of the Pirates this season has been the work of the senior players. Albert Baker, Robert Moody, Richard Mor gan, Eugene Stallings, Richard Branch, and Simon Hembry have all performed as outstanding. Morgan, Moody, Hem bry and Baker have lead the line play, while Branch and Stallings have led the ball carriers. If the men continue their fine play, the Pirates will go all the way. ELIZABETH CITY PIRATES DEFEAT FAYETTEVILLE STATE 20-7 Branch’s 80-yard Run Highlights Attack Playing before a rain-soaked crowd Saturday night September 28 the Eliz abeth City Pirates made it two in a row by defeating the Fayetteville State Teachers College Broncos 20-7 on their home field. After an exchange of punts the Pir ates began to roll for their first score from about midfield. With Rhinehart and Branch carrying the pigskin, the Pirates moved to the Broncos’ 15-yard line. From there Rhinehart scored on a beautifully-executed draw play. The second Pirate touchdown was scored by Tommy Liverman late in the sec ond quarter on a pass from Fredrick Hall about 17 yards out. Liverman’s point after touchdown made the score 13-0. Fayetteville, fighting back, opened the scoring in the second half. Re covering a Pirate fumble on their 18- yard line, the Broncos proceded on to score and make their extra point. Putting the ball in play on their own 20 following the kickoff, the Pir ates ran one play for no gain. On the next play Branch, taking a handoff from Hill, broke through a hole over left tackle, cut to his right and scamp ered down the sideline to score. Key blocks were thrown by Robert Moody, Fredrick Hall, and “Hurricane” Gor- dan. Albert Owens kicked the extra point making the score 20-7. Praise must be given the Pirates’ forward wall which yielded only 53 yards to the Broncos on the ground. Hard tackling made Fayetteville make numerous fumbles, six of which E. C, recovered, Robert Moody, who re covered four fumbles, Albert Baker, Richard Morgan, “Mat” Mathews, “Hurricane” Gordan, and Joe Purvis were outstanding on offense and de fense, Fredrick Hall whose power running highlighted the Pirates offense in the fourth quarter, Olando Hill, Albert Owens, Eugene Stallings, and Tommy Liverman performed well in the back- field. Coach William Harris should be well pleased at the showing of the freshman ball players. Led by Tommy Liverman, Albert Owens, and Clyde “Big Six” Sawyer, they have contri buted greatly to the success of the 1957 Ehzabeth City Pirates, EDUCATION What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.
