'Bobcats' spoil Homecoming
If wasn't a "fittin" day for pigskin play
The rain fell and the mud flew. There was shthering and sliding. The players were wet
and covered with mud, but the game went to it’s fateful end. Above a LeesMcRae back
is stopped by two Braves.
Braves upset strong EC fresh
Chowan College’s Braves scor
ed three touchdowns in the sec
ond half Friday afternoon while
gaining a 28-7 victory over East
Carolina's most heralded fresh
man football team.
It was the first loss for the
young Pirates, acclaimed as the
best freshman pigskin unit ever
fielded by East Carolina Univer
sity, who numbered among their
victims frosh teams from David
son and N. C. State.
The Baby Bucs, who previous
ly used game-situation scrim
mage to hold their varsity to a
standstill, were unable to con
tain the explosive offense and
devastating defense fielded by
the Braves.
Chowan scored first on a 16-
yard pass from quarterback Dan
Dayvault to flanker Tony Mag-
lione, but the Baby Bucs came
back to deadlock the score in
the second quarter. Workhorse
fullback Ronnie Peed bulled
over from the three for the only
touchdown East Carolina’s grid
ders were able to muster.
Dayvault opened scoring in an
explosive third quarter with a
Chowaan
6-40.6
16-yard touchdown pass to half
back Tom Campbell. Alert de
fensive play by Tony Maglione
enabled the Braves to gain this
touchdwon, as Maglione inter
cepted a pass thrown by Baby
Buc tailback Pete Wooley and
put the Braves in scoring posi
tion.
Maglione s pass interception
was among three aerials picked
off by the Braves, who also re
covered three East Carolina
tumbles.
Andy Ward plunged one-yard
to climax a 71-yard drive for
paydirt by the Braves a few mo
ments later in the third quarter.
A spectacular afternoon for
Dayvault was capped by a sen
sational 85-yard run for the
Braves’ final touchdown. This
long paydirt scamper followed
a stalwart defensive effort that
stopped the Bucs on the 15-yard
line.
Billy Taylor kicked each point-
after-touchdown for the Braves,
Alonzo Custer added the con
version with a kick for the Baby
Bucs.

Heavy rain
adds to 27-0
Brave loss
Lees-McRae’s Bobcats sloshed
through a driving rainstorm to
gain their 27-0 Saturday after
noon conference football victory
over the Braves.
Heralded quarterback Marvin
Parrott, Bobcat veteran noted as
one of the top passers among
the nation’s junior college gridd-
ers, refused to chance a passing
game in the rain and field
generaled his team’s maneuver-
ings in a grueling ground attack.
Parrott quarterback sneaked
the final few inches into paydirt
to climax an 80-yard march and
give the Bobcats their first touch
down.
Tailback Richard Ard dashed
28 yards for Lees-McRae's se
cond touchdown.
A 240-pound tackle, George
Porter, grabbed a blocked punt
and fell into the end zone from
two yards away for the third
Bobcat touchdown.
Freshman quarterback Jeffrey
Waldenmayer tossed a 10-yard
pass to flanker William Miller
for the final Bobcat scorer.
Kicking three-of-four tries at
points-after-touchdown through
the uprights was fullback Bernard
Saunders.
Timely pass interceptions aid
ing the Bobcats were contribut
ed by 200-pound deep back Bob
Lyerly.
The undefeated Bobcats are
defending champions in the Re
gion 10 junior college football
conference. In spoiling their
homecoming game for Chowan,
the Bobcats kept intact an un
defeated record dating from last
year’s Shrine Bowl post-season
classic when they completed
season ranked second among the
nation s junior college football
powers.
The Braves lost their fifth
game and their third conference
football defeat in a gridiron sea
son which has seen them able to
salvage only a single victory in
the pigskin arena this year.

'Hoop-throwers' prepare for season
Leading this year's hardwood entry as co-captains will be
Louie Fiore, 11. and Harry Gray, 15. Coach Bill McCraw is
keeping his fingers crossed but indicated he is expecting
a good season.
By PARKER BAINE
As basketball season nears,
Coach McCra”' has to decide
what five men he will use for
his starting team. He has not
yet formulated his five starters
but does have a pretty good
idea who they will bel
The front court will probably
consist of Harry Fhpping at
center, Harry Gray and Todd
Me Conn'ell at the two forwards.
Flipping has changed from for
ward to center because of his
good jumping ability, while Na
than Sosbee moved to forward.
Howard Glover and William
Brown are two men who will
be pushing these men on, for
they have both improved and
are equal in ability to Gray
and McConnell.
In the backcourt the guard
positions are up for grabs bet
ween Lou Fiore, Russ Hodges,
and Mike Bennett. Our starting
guards will probably be among
these three outstanding players.
Fiore and Hodges are a ter
rific threat to other teams, with
their fast break and double
teaming. Bennett is looking real
good in practice and is striving
for the starting position.
Two freshmen, Steve Flack
and Bert Brown, have both shown
ability at the guard position,
the former having good ball-
handling techniques and the latter
a sound fundamental player.
’Flack shots gots good from the
set position and Bert is good
at passing down court.

Each student is probably un
aware of the important but un
noticed events that happen
everyday on campus. It is our
aim to enlighten the students on
these behind the scene issues:
I. D. cards will soon be need
ed to get into the Pub.
The homecoming court may
have shown simiUarities to King
Arthur's court.
Mr. H. had made a lot of un
announced visits to Jenkins and
Belk.
Murfreesboro has become so
civihzed that there is no longer
a place to park.
The gnawing sounds in the li
brary are not rats, but only Mr.
C. chewing rice.
By looking out in Squirrel
Park, it is obvious that salt peter
is no longer being put in the
cafeteria drinks.
Word has it that Mrs. B. has
something going with an Italian
student in her 12:30 class.
Third floor West is noted for
their excellent surfers.
The truth is out that the vol
uptuous bus driver known as
"Big Momma ' is really D. C.
A busy sign may mean you are
busy doing something other than
studying.
O. K. probably doesn't know
“it's what's up front that
counts. "
The twin dressed in white at
homecoming may wear the
same dress on June seventeenth.
Labs are now required to take
away from social time.
???????????
Is it true that the girls on
campus are snowed over the
new Hygiene teacher?
Did B. C. date G. G. only for
his Corvette?
Is Betty Crocker really com
ing to Chowan to get a few
pointers from the cafeteria
staff?
What happened to F L s sun
glasses?
Will the timid boys attempt
' another panti-raid this year?
Speaking of panti-raids, who
ever has the black lace pair
please return to S. S. in room
308 Belk.
A word to other gossip writ
ers. We hope our column will
no be too much competition.
Chowan's Bennett demonstrates his skill
When the photographer asked for a good "dribbler", Michael Bennett, left, was ready
with the comment, " I'm the best.” And he demonstrated his hardwood skill while Steve
Flack had the difficult task of staying with him.
height tiis year, with what we
do have, and our possible fast
break away threat, we hope to
have a victorious season. Fifteen
members constitute our basket
ball team and ten of these are
good “country" players. The
rest are going to push these
ten so that they will strive to win.
Each player is in excellent
health and there have been no
ankle or foot injuries. Coach
says he is pleased with their
fine condition, expects big things
and hopes they will have a
victorious season this year.
Team managers this year are
Harvey Taylor and Scott Char-
nock and the statitician is Billy
Smith. All home games are
played in the gym beginning at
8 p. m. Let’s all try to be at
the gym Nov. 14 for our first

Richard Nixon
leader in mock
campus election
The conservative trend! seem
ingly sweeping the nation during
this election year was substant
iated in mock balloting staged in
Government 108 classes on Oct.
22nd. The students indicated
only their choice for the presi
dential post. Result of the elec
tion is as follows:
Humphrey—6
Nixon—37
Wallace—33
During the next week a por
tion of the class periods will be
spent in taking a close look at
each of the candidates and the
issues.
Looking at their election re
turns n Thursday, the students
concluded that the introduction
of Wallace as a candidate hurt
Nixon. In their judgment, at this
point, there would be a Republi
can landslide in the presidential
race were it not for the fact the
conservative vote is split.
