Smoke Signals, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1968—Page 7 Braves catch fire to stop Montgomery ROCKVILLE, Md.—John Cas- azza unleashed aerial warfare Saturday afternoon, completing 14 of 16 passes for 312 yards and four touchdowns, as Cho wan College’s Braves success fully invaded the gridiron lair of Montgomery College's Knights and won a 39-35 victory over this perennial pigslcin powerhouse. Flanker Charles Groves was on the receiving end of Casaz- za’s first two scoring passes, catching 27-yard and 30-yard touchdown tosses. Another flanker, who saw ac tion both when Braves were on I u' - ■> ■ ■ T C‘V . m V CHARLIE GROVES the attack and on defense—mak ing some of the afternoon's most crushing takles and continually throwing Knight ball carriers for losses, Tony Maglione caught a 27-yard touchdown pass. Big end Bob Antozza caught the fourth scoring toss by Cas- azza, an aerial netting 29 yards. Halfback Tom Campbell plung ed across the goal line from one yard out, climaxing a 79-yard scoring march that included a 65-yard fumble runback by Joe Burton, for another touchdown. Andy Ward broke loose from a mass of tacklers, which in cluded the entire Montgomery team, to score a touchdown from 57 yards out. Two scoring opportunities came to the Braves on alert pass interceptions by small sized, 155-pound defender John Sullivan. An interception that he returned for 37 yards includ ed 126 yards of broken-field run ning, as Sullivan kept reversing his field to find more running room. Several Braves linemen made four blocks during this play, with everybody in Cho wan’s forward wall throwing several blocks. The Knights were unable to mount any sustained scoring drives, but desperation attempts to come from behind found the Montgomery gridders recording sensational scores. A blocked punt was fielded by tackle BiU Henson, a big 6-6 250-pounder, who fell five yards into scoring territory for the Knights’ first touchdown. Montgomery’s offense was un able to score until the second half, when quarterback Pat Cal- lan and halfback Tom Wimsatt combined on a 68-yard touch down pass. Hefty flanker Russell Brad shaw was on the receiving end of scoring tosses of one-yard and 11-yards from Callan in the fourth quarters. Deceptive scatback Merrill Buick outstepped the Braves on a 56-yard touchdown scamper as the game was in its waning moments. Ray Curies kicked all points- after-touchdown for the Braves and Perry Garman booted all of Montgomery’s conversions. The Braves netted only 14 Cross-country team sets winning record By PARKER BAINE This year, the cross-country team has won one of it’s meets, lost two other ones and lost one of it's best potential runners. Eric O'Neill, the top runner on the team, dropped out of school last week and thus created a great loss on the team. ' Hugh Wade, who has reall good ability will probably take 0 Neill s place as the number 1 runner. The rest of the team members are Ernest Overby, George “Speedy " Skinner, and new members are Ray Sizemore and Martin Aderhold. Ader- hold was a good find, for he is a good runner and likes to run in spring events. Harry Gray is also running as a filler to make a 5-man> team and help him in shape for basketball. The team's main problem this year is lack of runners and class schedules that conflict with practicing. A meet was run October 30 against Christopher Newport, but the score was not known at this printing. After that, they go to the Regional yards in their first-half rushing attack, but alternated running and pass plays to keep Montgo mery’s defenders off-balance and outrun their opponents in a sec ond half that saw the Knights exploding for 21 points in the final quarters. Blocking and tackling by the Braves, both downfield and at the scrimmage line, were de vastating. Many Chowan gridders are now 60-minute-men, playing when Braves are on the attack and when they are defending, and performers like Maglione con tributed tireless efforts to a spectacular gridiron victory. Speedy break away running by halfbacks Tom Campbell and Andy Ward combined with hard- charging performances by the freshman gridder, Joe Holloman in collapsing Montgomery’s de fenses. Casazza proved a rugged and durable performer as the fiery redhead withstood crushing ef forts by gridiron giants to stop his sensational passing. The resurgent Braves have won two in a row and are now 3-5 for the season. Two games remain on Chowan’s schedule, as they prepare to invade the gridiron lair of Wesley’s power ful Wolverines at Dover, Del., for an afternoon contest this Saturday. Frederick Military Academy’s gridders will furnish opposition for the season-ending clash on the night of Nov. 16. Casazza’s scoring tosses com pleted marches of 56, 67 , 78 and 79 yards for the Braves. The 79-yard march, opened play in the second halt, as this drive began with the kickoff.

Boy's wear handed out in panty raid (ACP) - Ut Daily Beacon, University of Tennessee, Knox ville, Tennessee. Fifty to 75 men from the Presidential Complex staged a “panty raid" on Morrill Hall Sunday night and were sur prized when they were rewarded with clothes from the boys' floors as well as the girls. A nearby student said Carrick and Reese Raiders didn’t real ize that the first eight floors of Morrill were for men and upper six were for the women students. In the bucket to stay! One would have to admit that Wayne Tarkenton can really ‘dunk” the round ball.

These possible starting players are, Bennett, Hodges, Wm. Brown, Flipping, Gray or McConnell. Co-captains this year are Har ry Gray, forward, and Lou Fiore, guard. Coach McCraw says that these two are the best choice that the team could have made. Glover is still im proving while Pat Henry has come along and done real well in the last few practices. Steve Flack has shown real good ability against the zone defense and shoots good from the out side. Among the 15 players chosen. Tarkenton was ineligible for this semester, and next semester there is an opening chance for Wayne MarJin or Ronnie Hardy. Coach McCraw said. Our schedule s’arts in two weeks against Chesapeake Col lege which should prove to be a tough game. On Nov. 18. there will be a practice game with N. C. Wesleyan at 7:30 in our gym. This squad could provo to be the best in the conference, so everyone get your voices in tune and come on down to the gym and yell for your team!! Let s all help make this buS ketball season a victorious one.
