After pouncing on a bad snap from center against Gard ner - Webb in the homecoming classic, and believing with about 4,000 overjoyed fans that he had scored a touchdown, he glanced upfield in dismay at a penalty flag. Watching in amazement as Chowan’s fullback dashed 95 yards for paydirt at Keyser, W. Va., a stunned Potomac State de fender screamed, “Get him! Get him! There he goes!” An equally stunned defender, further downfleld, shouted in re ply, “There he went!” A game official, almost dou bling up with laughter, answered, “Oh yea, man, he’s real gone.” When the Region 10 confer ence’s leading punter backed the Braves to the wall with a tre mendous boot early.in the sea son’s opener, a gridiron perfor mer for Lees-McRae’s Bobcats turned to one of the Braves and said, “He really got some power into that one. That’s what you call using your foot.” Moments later the Braves hit for paydirt after two long pass plays and Chowan’s quarterback turned to the Bobcats pigskin per former who made the previous remark and said, ‘We really got some power into those. That’s what you call using your head.” Typical of the spirit that pow ered the Braves football team to five straight Impressive vic tories and third In national rank ings was the grldder who refused to let a little thing like a broken nose stop him, missed not a mo- ment of practice, and was always available for rugged perfor mances in the forward wall.

He claimed ^ility to recruit a team of players Just as good in every position with every athletic abil ity, as every player performing for Chowan Coach Bill McCraw. “Sounds good,” the defeated coach replied, shaking his head and biting his Up. ‘I’ll take . “But,” the self-appointed ex pert interrupted him to explain, “for everything I get you. I’ll get two of them for Coach McCraw.” "Fine,” said the coach, escap ing toward the locker-room. “I’ll take a glass eye.” A visiting golfer, preparing for competition against Chowan- ians, made his way to the club house, muttering, “I Just shot a 38.” When a wide-eyed bystander asked if his score had been on nine holes, he replied, “No! Just one hole, but 1 shot a 38.” L WITH SOME YOUNG MEN HE CALLS, "MY BOYS, i» Cooch Jim Garrison, who teaches them not only how to be outstanding athletes, but also how to succeed in the gome of life.
