DECEMBER, 1962 THE NEWS ARGUS PAGE FIVE Coach Gaines Reveals Basketball Plans For Coming Year Coach C. E. Gaines greeted 30 eager cagers to try out for the 1962-63 edition of the Rams bas ketball team. Included in these were 10 members from last year’s team and 20 optimistic freshmen. Returning are Richard Glover, 6-5 junior sharpshooter, Willie Curry, 6-1 shooter; Teddy Blunt, the marvelous floor general; Ted Ratchford, 6-7 rebounding star; Barney Hood; and Lutheran Wiley. Richard “Mickey” Smith is back to give the Rams added strength. Although the Rams lost the services of ace rebounders, All- American George Foree, and all- C.I.A.A. Tournament Louis Par ker, there are freshmen “string- beans” to take up the slack. Gaines recruited several out standing high school prospects over the summer. Some of these freshmen prospects are: Gilbert Smith, a 6-5 “jumping jack” from Philadelphia, Pa.; 6-3 Thomas Cunningham from Char lotte, N. C.; Arthur Rucks, 6-5 shooting ace of New York City; and Bruce Jackson, a 6-2 lad who can jump with the big boys. Other fine prospects are Wil liam Hussey, Welden Taborn, and Charlie Simmons. For the first time in Rams his tory, Coach Gaines has sched uled regular season games with predominantly white colleges. On December 21 and 22, the Rams will travel to Indiana to play Ball State College, and In diana State College in basketball games. The Rams will also travel to Greensboro, N.C. December 9 and 10 to participate in a pre-season tournament. A. and T., Virginia State and Maryland State, along with the Rams are scheduled to revive the feud of last season s semifinal round of the C.I.A.A. Tournament when they meet.

Coach Conrad Looks To '63 Prospects Coach T. R. Conrad, the Ram’s football coach, can look to the future with optimism. Conrad has several freshmen gridders who should develop into fine footballers next season. The out look is great. Leading the parade of fresh men talent is James Millner, a 6-1, 176 pound quarterback. Mill ner has a great passing arm as exhibited in the A. & T. and Fayetteville State games this sea son. He has completed 16 of 56 passes for 265 yards and 5 touch downs in two games this sea son. Great things are expected of this kid. Roy Hicks is another freshman quarterback who can run, throw, and kick. He com pleted the only pass he attempted this season for 60 yards. Hicks does all of the Rams punting. Winston Mapp, ace pass catch ing end, will bring smiles to the face of Conrad with his pass catching ability. Mapp has caught 17 passes for 7 touch downs and 362 yards this season. He ranks third in passes caught this season in the C.I.A.A. Clarence McGhee, a bruising 215 pound guard, has started most of the games this season. A bone-crushing tackier and fierce blocker. Coach Conrad ex pects McGhee to be one of T. C.’s greatest. Other freshman standouts are backs Donald Johnson, Napoleon Hudson, William Taylor, Bennie Parker, and Charles Shuford, end Freddie Heath and guards Lee Thomas and Marvin Burgin. The Rams have a nucleus for an outstanding team next season. providing these fellows live up to expectations. BULLS BEAT RAMS The J. C. Smith Bulls of Char lotte capitalized on four inter ceptions to defeat the Rams 26-8 in Memorial Stadium, Charlotte, N. C. The Bulls scored early in the second period when a Rams’ pass was picked off and carried into the end zone by the Bulls. The Bulls’ second touchdown was set up by an interception which was carried deep into the Rams’ territory. In the second half the Bulls scored twice again on interceptions. The Rams scored their only OUTLOOK ON THE TRACK TEAM The track team is now practic ing under the supervision of Coach George Walker and Capt. Harry Lewis. The team practices five days a week, weather per mitting. The gym is used during the basketball season which is also the track season (indoor). Needless to say, this makes Coach Walker long and yearn for the day when we will have our new field house and will no longer be confronted with the space problems. Indoor track season begins in January. Track meets are held in Pennsylvania and New York. These meets are invitational, and the team must have a very good chance of winning before an in vitation is extended to them. If the team is invited, they are giv en financial assistance toward their traveling expenses by the person extending the invitation. Champions of previous years are invited usually to partici pate. Men who have outstanding time in their events in the early meets are also usually invited. In our situation here at W. S. T. C., we must have men who can receive travel expenses by being good enough to warrant an invitation from the different pro moters. The athletic budget will not permit the team to travel that far ordinarily wihout finan cial assistance from outside sources. The events that comprise an indoor track meet are dash, high hurdles and low hurdles, 880 or 1,000 yards, mile relay, and broad jump. The outstanding men for these events are: Dash—Andrew Curry, Glandis Pittman, Emmitt Robinson, Na than Teague, and Kenneth Wash ington. High and Low Hurdles—La ment Fletcher, Harry Lewis, Frank Kimbrough and Kenneth Sheppard. ' Broad jump — Andrew Curry and Nathan Teague. 880-1,000 yards—Horace Webb. Mile Relay—John Beatty, La- mont Fletcher, Harry Lewis and Horace Webb. Frank Bowens, an outstand ing track man for four years, will not be eligible to compete in regular track meets. Frank may elect to compete unattached in the national meets. There are a number of young men trying out for the team who have yet to prove themselves. Coach Walker feels that they should show promise. Our team will be strengthened tremen dously. The members chose Harry Lewis, a senior from Coatsville, Pa., as captain and Kenneth Sheppard, a junior from Phila delphia, Pa., as co-captain. VIEWING THE TEACHING FIELD by Decie Gnnn On November 5, 1962, most of the student teachers returned to the campus of the Winston-Sa- lem Teachers College to begin their evaluation of student teach ing for the first nine weeks of the school year 1962-1963. This Evaluation Week, held November 5th-9th, climaxed the experiences of the student teach ers which began on August 29, 1962, when thirty-four students returned to the campus of the Winston-Salem Teachers College to begin their student teaching for the first nine weeks of the school year 1962-1963. Miss Butler and her student teachers had group discussions on the functions, purposes and techniques of evaluation at the first session of Evaluation Week. Each student was given a chance to tell of his experiences in his particular school. On November 6th, Mr. Lewis gave some highlights on how to secure a teaching position. At the third session of Evalua tion Week, which was held on November 7th, Mr. J. D. Ashley, principal of the 14th Street School, was the speaker. He gave the student teachers some high lights on the traits a teacher must have in any school situa tion. The second part of this ses sion was devoted to “Show and Tell” demonstrations by the ma jority of the student teachers. Mrs. Gray and her student teachers were in charge of the fourth session. The first portion of this session was devoted to an informal discussion led by Mrs. Gray. The topic discussed was “The Professionalities of a Teach er.” The second part of the session included skits which were pre sented by the student teachers under Mrs. Gray, All of the skits were centered around the codes of ethics for a teacher. On November 9th, the final session of Evaluation Week was held. Mrs. Brown and her stu dent teachers were in charge. The topic for this session was “Excellencies and Errors in Teaching.” Mrs. Brown opened with a general discussion on this topic after which the student teachers demonstrated the incor rect and correct methods of teaching social studies, arithme tic and Language Arts. At this time, the students met their supervisors and were as signed to schools. They also had a briefing and orientation period and were registered for the first semester. Teaching kits contain ing student teaching materials were given to each student. The students then had conferences with their college supervisors. On Tuesday, September 4th, many of the student teachers signed in and had the first op portunity of meeting the stu dents. All of them were able to observe and participate in “open ing of school” for the school year 1962-63. Student teachers for the first nine weeks were: Dorothy Hun ter, Geneva Anderson, Quentin Thomas, Algeminia Giles, Betty Moore, Tommy Cranks, Joan Armstrong, Charles Carter, Decie Gunn, Ethel Dalton, Janet Ellis, Betty Johnson, Thomas Douglas, Willie Williams, Adelaide Bruer, Reather Clinkscales, Betty Wood ard, Sarah Curry, Larry Wom- ble, Flora Copper, George Henry, Roger Dean, Christopher Fergu son, Cynthia Garder, Carl Ben- nix, S h e 1 d a Hardy, Elizabeth Waddell, Sylvia Outlaw, Gwen dolyn Newton, Jackton Brown, Ethel McGrier, Evelyan Hairs ton, Barbara Smith, Mary Dou- thit.

Trade Street Winston-Salem, X. C. touchdown in the closing mo ments of the second period, cli maxing a 74-yard march. This game was the highlight of the Bulls’ homecoming festivities. Cleo Hill Plays Pro Ball Cleo Hill, graduate and better known former star basketballer of our Ram team, has recently signed a contract with the Phila delphia Tapers of the American Basketball League. Cleo, thought by many to have been the great est to leave Teachers College, played with the St. Louis Hawks of the National Basketball League. Upon entering the NBA last season, there was speculation that he would be one of the su per stars of that league in the near future. Unfortunately, this never came true, because of the complaints made about his (Cleo’s) shooting and out-scoring the more established players on the Hawks team. This disconten- tion led to the firing of Paul Seymour, the coach of the team. After this, Cleo began a long sit, that lasted until the end of the season. This length of time with out action saw his average di minish from double figures to a very low four points per game. At the beginning of this sea son Cleo was released by the Hawks and was immediately picked up by the Tapers of the ABL. There are many students at T. C. who follow Cleo’s pro bas ketball career and wish him a successful return to the “round ball sport.” The patented hook, deadly jump, high arching set shot, and the lightning drives towards the basket will be shot again and sunk by our Cleo Hill.
