Smoke Signals, F'riday, Sept. 20, 1968—page 3 Shipbuilders top Braves in grid opener NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—Seat back Charley Pressey, a mere 170-pounder surrounded by grid iron giants, turned two first- quarter punt returns into long touchdown scampers and provid ed the victory margin for his Newport News Apprentice School football team in their 20-9 vie tory Saturday night against Cho wan College’s Braves. The Shipbuilders' defensive halfback sped 65 yards through the entire Chowan grid unit with the game's first punt and, four plays later, returned the en counter's second punt 70 yards for another journey into pigskin paydirt. Combining for the game's most sensational play were Cho wan s quarterback John Casazza and 205-pound flanker Charley Groves. The Brave passing sensation field general, Casazza, unleashed the night's longest pigskin aerial on target to Groves. Receiver Groves out distanced his pursuers to put the ball within the shadow of touchdown territory. Plunging through the Ship builders’ hefty and powerful for ward wall, 190 pound halfback Joe Holloman put the Braves on the scoreboard in the waning moments of the first half as he put the icing on the 78-yard pass play by carrying the ball the remaining yard needed to score. Billy Taylor added three more points to the Braves' scoring, early in the third quarter, with a 47 yard field goal. Bobby Watkins, one of two 185-pound quarterbacks alter nating in directing the Ship builders' attack, put insurance scoring on the scoreboard for his team with two long field goals. Watkins' first boot between the uprights went 35 yards and the second was a 47-yarder. Grueling combat in the forward walls marked most of the game, which was a rugged defensive battle except for the few moments when explosive pigskin perfor mances resulted in scores. Smashing tackles kept each squad's offense off balance, with neither team being able to main tain a sustained drive downfield, but explosive plays and talented field-goal kickers kept scores threatening with each play. Such defenders as 260 pound tackle Henry Simpson and 250 pound Mike Lumley pressured Braves' runners and passers. Big and powerful Lumley, who stands 6-6 in his stocking feet, continually burst into the Braves secondary and batted down sev eral attempted passes just as they were leaving the Chowan quarterback's fingers. The Shipbuilders also found their passing attack ineffective .after Watkins hit flanker Bubba Hogg with a 30 yard aerial dur ing the opening moments of play, and they confined their attack during the final three quarters to a running game. Workhorse fullback Charlie Bradshaw, a 215-pound power house from Weldon, joined Hollo man in keeping the Braves' threatening attack always men acingly close to overtaking the Shipbuilders' lead.

Traditionally, the high schools play most of their games on Friday night, with some on Thursday and Saturday night. Chief J. C. Goodman Jr. said today several ideas has been considered in the wake of other incidents during high school football games. He asserted that police could better observe crowds at after noon games and he said day time contests might not draw “some of the riff-raff who sometime attend night games. Goodman noted that games “are scheduled during our most critical periods during Friday and Saturday nights when we have a great deal of other ac tivity to police." He suggested that perhaps more off-duty policemen should be hired for the games and “if necessary, they should raise the admission to cover the expense of the extra men. " Dr. William Self, school su perintendent, withheld comment until a formal recommendation is received. TURKS BAR HIPPIES ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) — Hippies and beatniks will no longer be allowed to enter Tur key and those here will be asked 10 leave soon. Interior Minister Dr. Faruk Sukan said Monday.

(AP) — The roar of the Princeton tiger should be mingled with the meow of a feminine feline. That’s the advise of a commit tee of Princeton University fac ulty and administration mem bers who asked themselves, their students and colleagues across the country whether the 222-year old Ivy League school should admit women at the un dergraduate level. The report, made public Sun day and mailed out to the stu dent body today, recommended that the university do so as quickly as possible. The committee recommended the admission of at least 1 000 women, so that the girls would comprise “not less than 25 per cent of the undergraduate body. ” The fail enrollment at the presently all male under graduate college is 3,200.
