PAGE 4—Smoke Signals, Wednesday, September 16, 1970 Starters Show Promise for 1970 Football Season With freshmen filling a number of key positions, Chowan College opens a nine- game schedule when it meets rugged Balti more (Md.) Community College Sept. 19 at home. Game time for the Coastal Confer ence clash is 8 p.m. Termed a rebuilding year by Coach Jim Garrison, the Braves must rely on 43 fresh men among a squad of 67. Heading the list of returnees are eight starters from the 1969 team, which posted a 5-4-1 mark, including all-district Ivan Insignaries of New York City. To take advantage of his blocking, he has been converted from linebacker to offensive guard. The Braves are also bolstered by offensive veterans Billy Harris, split end from Durham: Morris Newlin, tight end of Greensboro; and John Bowles, tackle from Virginia Beach, Va. The defense includes four sophomores who started last year including two in the backfield, Bobby Comerford, Annandale, Va., and Greg Hartranft, Fulton, N. Y. Others are Norman Cage, linebacker, Ashland, Va.; and Danny Croom, end, Kinston, N. C. ' The freshman crop, smaller but quicker than in the past, may be one of the best Garrison has recruited. Particularly impress ive have been two running backs, Ronnie Yes, more practice!! Mack, flanker from Delray Beach, Fla., and Rocky Dunbar, tailback of Williston, S. C. Both utiUze speed with the edge going to Mack who runs the 100 in 9.7. Dunbar (5-9, 180) has “good power” according to Garrison who reports he’s quick to break into the open. The third freshman in the starting back field will be one of two candidates for quarterback. They are Dale McCafferty of Millville, N. J. and Paul Black from Camp Lejeune, N. C. They are part of the search, which at one point saw six quarterbacks in camp, to replace departed John Casazza, now East Carolina's number one signal caller. At this stage, neither has demonstrated the passing ability of Casazza but McCafferty runs like a halfback. Both he and Black are able at handling the ball and have shown they can hit their targets on short passes. Rounding out the starting offensive back field is letterman Ronnie Jarmon, full back from Durham, N. C. Pushing him for the job are two promising newcomers, Horace Bush, Mack’s teammate at Delray Beach, and Carroll Jenkins of Tacoa, Ga. If one of these breaks into the starting line up it would give Chowan an all-freshman backfield. The punting will also be handled Coach Garrison ‘'tells it like it is.” No matter how good you are, you need practice because you always could do better. Brighter Season in Store By LARRY HOWARD The 69 season for our football team ended with a winning season of 5-4-1. This year head Coach Jim Garrison is looking forward to a brighter season. With the experience of 24 returning sophomores and the fine talents of the freshmen, the Braves may prove to be dynamite this year. Some of the sophomores that Coach Garrison will be depending on are Morris Newland and Billy Harris, both offensive ends, John Boles and Joe Florra in the offensive tackle spots and Ricky Eason and Ivan Insignaries in the offensive guard position. Sophomores make up the entire offensive line. The center spot is undecided between Steve Veasey and Neil Peterson. Returning to “do their thing” on defense are Bobby Cumford, Earl Gibson, Greg Hartranft and Norman Cage. All of them will be seeing plenty of light in the de fensive backfield. A fine attack will come from our interior defensive line, which consist of Ed Love, Steve Carter, Dave McLaughlin, and Bill Reaves. Semmie Tay lor, Bill Sootes, and Alan Nobles, are all freshmen “head hunters,” that will prove their prowness in the defensive backfield. Those of us that were here last year witnessed the excellent ability in our quart- John Casazza, who is presently starting at E.C.U. This year there are three freshmen quarterbacks fighting to replace Casazza. Coach Garrison believes the big question this season will be the quarterback. The entire coaching staff is still optomistic about the whole season. Though we lost a fine quarterback, we have gained plenty of speed and quickness in the backfield. Ronnie Mack, from Del- Ray, Fla., will be at the flanker spot. Ron nie who is capable of turning a 4.4 in the 40 yard dash, creates a dynamic threat to the opposition at any explosive moment. Coach Garrison is also expecting big things from Rocky Dunbar, from Williston, S.C. Rocky will be starting at the tailback spot. Ronnie Jarmon, who saw plenty of action last year, will start at fullback. Sub stituting for these men will be Horace Bush, at fullback, Nat Wright at flanker and John King at tailback. There will be plenty of tough competition this year such as our opener with Baltimore on the 19th of this month. This makes your support a bare necessity. So all you “live wires” get it together and check out the entire season. The Braves this year are young but talented which promises a succesful program. A little help from a friend by a freshman, Jimmy Thomas of Phila delphia, Pa., who has been booming the ball in practice. The situation among the offensive line is just the reverse where sophomores man all positions. Lettermen starting are Joe Flora, tackle, Norfolk, Va.; Neal Peterson, center, Clinton, N. C.; and Ricky Eason, guard, Ayden, N. C.; who join Harris and Newlin at the ends, Bowles at tackle and Insignaries at guard. Filling the latter’s position at middle line backer will be freshman Stuart Christian (6, 210) of Ashland, Va., who has won the respect of Garrison and assistant coaches Jerry Hawkins and Dan Surface. Other freshmen to start on defense in clude two interior linemen, Ed Love, (6', 210) from Virginia Beach, Va., and Steve Carter, (6-1, 205) of Tampa, Fla; and either Bobby Cook of Wilmington, Del., or Fred Simpson of Jacksonville, Fla., at linebacker. Rounding out the defense are sophomores Earl Gibson, who has been clocked in 9.9 in the 100, of Raeford, N. C., and Kent Fer guson, Winston Salem, backs: and Milton Outten, end from Exmore, Va. Garrison terms team morale as “very good” and points to the running game as the main offensive weapon, opposite to last year when Casazza filled the skies with accurate passes. This will be the first year of action for the Coastal Conference. Members in addition to Chowan and Baltimore include Potomac State (W. Va.), Hartford (Md.), Ferrum (Va.), Wesley (Del.), and Lees-McRae (N. C.) Ronnie Mack of Delray Beach, Fla. is praised for his work, but the Baltimore game September 19 will really let him prove himself. The Secret’s Out... No. 14 A secret weapon at Chowan College? That's the talk of veteran sideline ob servers at Chowan as they follow the prac tices of the football team. Too melodramatic? Exaggerated claims? Listen to some of the remarks? “He's the fastest back Chowan has ever had" “He's the best I’ve seen at Chowan. " “Give him a step and he’s gone ” “You should have seen him return the kickoffs in scrimmage.” With applause like that to accompany his high school credentials, Chowan may indeed spring a few surprises on its oppon ents. Coach Jim Garrison will ;.^.ve a chance to unveil his super-threat when Baltimore (Md.) Community College comes to town for the season-opener Sept. 19. Kickoff for the Coastal Conference game is 8 p.m. If you ask Garrison how good the player, with the code initials of R. M., is, he'll politely tell you he runs the 100 in 9.7 and that he’s “real good. " After all, it’s the performance, and not the talk, of any wea pon that counts. His name? Don’t tell Baltimore, but it's Ronnie Mack. He's from Delray Beach, Fla., where he was a touchdown machine last year for one of the state’s largest county high schools. He stands 5’8 ” and weighs 160 pounds. Ronnie will be wearing no. 14. The secret may be out but Chowan's weapon remains intact and ready for Balti more Sept. 19. Presidents Cup Competition Using the same divisions which form the units (excluding faculty units) competing in the men and women intramural sports program, competition is being extended to include the following: academic average, attendance at football games and culteral events, judiciary council actions, intramur al participation and standings, and sponsor ing social activities. These areas of com petition begin at the start of the fall semes ter and end at mid-term of the spring semes ter, except intramural sports which end the last of April. The winner of the President’s Cup is the residence hall which accumulates the high est percentage of the number of points per unit (the points are computed for each of the units in the residence hall; the points of each of the units in a residence hall are added together; the sum of these points is divided by the number of units in that resid ence hall; this yields the average number of points per unit. The winner will have the highest average of points per unit). The name of the winning residence hall is inscribed on the President’s Cup Trophy which is a permanent trophy on display in Whitaker Library. An appropriate plaque is placed on the wall in the lobby of the winning residence hall.

By GWEN FRANCES R — Rash A — Agreeable T — Timid The Rat is someone who is afraid not to obey a Sophomore. He does not read his handbook, so he ends up doing things that are not required: like taking up trays, dancing on benches, running errands, and kissing the guys. He manages to get lost in Marks Hall, even though all his classes except science are taught there. Carelessness is one of his greatest faults. Every time you see him he is trying to track down an I D card, class admittance card, room key, or even his class schedule. So if you sophomores happen to see someone walking around in a daze, you will know it is a RAT. Dean Tolston Heads WRA Under the guidance of Miss Vickie J. Tolston, new dean of women, the Women’s Recreation Association is expecting an ex panded intramural program. Softball, which will begin Sept. 21, will be followed by volleyball, ping-pong, basket ball, tennis and swimming. Other planned activities are a cake race and a pbwder puff football game. Women’s residence halls will be encourag ed to seek the Presidents Cup, which is presented to the dormitory with the highest number of points per unit accumulated. Points are determined by academic aver ages, attendance at activities, intramural sports participation and standings, judiciar>j* actions, and the sponsoring of activities. Beginning at the start of the fall semester, competition concludes at mid-term of the spring semester. The Presidents Cup award itself is a trophy permanently displayed in Whitaker Library with the residence hall’s name inscribed. Co-chairmen are Debbie Mitchell and Gayle Morris. Impressions from A Friendly Dorm By JOYCE BLACKMON Have you ever lived in a big house with many sisters? Well that’s the way it is in Jenkins Hall. The halls of Jenkins are enchanted with the sound of happiness. Can you imagine a psychedelic shack, or even having the feeling of spending an hour in another world? That is what you will encounter during Happy Hour in Jenkins Hall. The sophomores in Jenkins are very friendly to the fresh men, and are willing to assist in any way they can. Jenkins has to be one of the friendli est dorms on campus. Everyone gets along as though it were one big family. Although we don’t have the cooling of air conditioning as in Belk Hall, the hot atmosphere does not affect the attitudes and good humor of the girls in Jenkins. Homesickness is just a game in Jenkins Hall because one really feels at home. There is always a warm smile and a kind encouraging word. Even during the latest hours of the night, you can find someone who is willing to listen and understand your moments of sadness. One is never afraid of being lonely in Jenkins Hall. Mrs. Ann P. Faulkner is the new head resident of Jenkins Hall. She was previously head resident of College Street Hall. Mrs. Faulk ner is very interested in the happiness of the girls in Jenkins. She is also very much concerned about the prob lems of today’s youth. With the love and cooperation of the girls in Jenkins this is going to be an enjoyable year. Jenkins Hall will continue to be one of the friendliest dorms on the Chowan College campus.
