Smoke Signals, Wednesday, October 13, 1971—PAGE THREE Braves Stop EC Buccaneer Club, 21-7 Chowan struck for two second half scores, both by halfback Julius Smith, to bury East Carolina Football Club, 21-7, here Oct. 2 in the “Mud Bowl.” The playing conditions, thanks to the drenching the field received from Ginger, were far from ideal. With mud down the middle and the sides “sloshy”, Chowan concentrated on its running attack, with all three scores coming on the ground. For the first time this easaon, Chowan held the lead at the half, 7-0. Covering the last foot of a 57 yard eight play drive was fullback George Sands. Con tributing forty of the yards on five carries was dandy Smith, “discovered” in last week’s loss to Potomac State. Smith provided most of the excitement with his dashes as Chowan was content to wear East Carolina down with ball control. Tlie Braves decided early in the game that it was not the night for passing and Paul Black only threw nine times, completing three for 20 yards. In contrast, Chowan gained 232 yards run ning, 117 in the first half, and 115 after intermission. East Carolina scored midway in the third quarter to tie the game and make the Braves remember the late game disastors of their first two matches. In its opener at Baltimore Sept. 18, Chowan had to settle for a 14 tie after a Braves’ fumble led to the tieing score in the final minutes. Potomac won on a 64-yard scoring pass with less than two minutes remaining. The Buccaneers touchdown came by air, following a pattern set by the other foes. It was a brother act with M. Lynch, fullback, snaring a 15-yard aerial from D. Lynch, quarterback. Gordon’s kick tied the game at 7 with 7:21 to go in the third. But this time, Chowan clearly with the superior forces, added scores in the third and fourth quarters to outclass the game Buccaneers. With 3:44 left in the third period. Smith ran eight yards through the middle for a touchdown set up by offensive tackle Ken Eisenharts’ recovery of a fumble of a punt at East Carolina's 28-yard line. Smith scored again with the fourth quarter two minutes old on a five- yard run to cap a 52-yard drive. Jimmy Thomas kicked his third straight P.A.T. He missed two long field goal attempts. Defensively, Chowan was led by (you-know-who) middle linebacker Stuart Christian who made 12 tackles. Intercepting for the Braves were defensive halfbacks Carl Porter and Vance Johnson. The game was Chowan’s first victory against a loss and tie and served as a tuneup for Ferrum, away, Saturday afternoon. Chowan will be hardpressed to down the Tigers, one of the nation’s top five clubs, especially on their home ground. Braves’ fans like to recall the 10-6 defeat of Ferrum at home last year. The 1971 game could end as a victory for Chowan but several weaknesses will have to be overcome. Chowan will have to tighten its defense against the pass and the offensive line will have to block for the Braves’ backs. Otherwise, Chowan will be dependent entirely on its passing game which Black proved against Potomac can be ef fective. Chowan permitted the Buc caneers to complete nine of 23 passes on a muddy field, with a slippery ball. Its record against Baltimore and Potomac was worst. Although Chowan has yet to win in the Coastal Conference, the Braves feel they are still in the running for the title.

The rain broke just before the game began dashing the Braves’ hopes for a passing attack from quarterback Paul Black. A drizzle at first, it became a cold rain in the second half sending Chowan’s fans scurrying for cover in the Braves’ bus parked outside the fence. There was no hiding place for the players, however, who were whipped by the Panthers. Ferrum scored three times on the ground in the first half but passing was the key in the drives. Ted Powell, a brutish 6-1, 220 pounder, was quarterback Steve Ellis’ favorite target. When he caught the ball he ran like a berserk bull running over and carrying Chowan defenders with him. Running back Cleo Johnson scored two of Ferrum’s first half touchdowns, the first and the final, both on two yard plunges. Ellis scored from one yard out. The only bright moments for the Braves were provided by tailback Rocky Dunbar who broke into the clear several times after shaking loose Ferrum tacklers and maintaining his balance. In this category, he had no equal on the field causing Chowan fans to exclaim, “He looks like the Rocky of old.” While Ferrum was breaking the game open with its passes, Chowan elected to stick to the ground for the most part and except for Dunbar’s personal efforts and exhibition of sheer strength and determination, - could not advance the ball against the tough Panthers. The field was too muddy and wet for any passing attack in the second half but Black did manage one for 16 yards to tight end Terry Wells for the Braves’ lone score. Thomas kicked the extra point with 2:09 left in the game. The Panthers’ third quarter score was also the result of a pass, from Ellis to Powell who grabbed it away from a Chowan defender in the end zone. The play covered 20 yards. Ferrum, now 4-0, proved why they are the leading contender for the Coastal Conference crown and in the running for the national title. They did everything well. The puzzling Braves will have no let up this week when Lees- McRae invades Saturday for an 8 p. m. contest. After four games and a 1-2-1 record, Chowan may not exactly be a sleeping giant but it can produce better per formances than it recorded against Ferrum. On a dry field, and hopefully the Braves will have one against the Bobcats, and with Black or Dale Mc- Cafferty passing and Dunbar running Chowan could be an entirely different ball club. It’ll be Parents Day also and the Braves will have the added in centive to win one for Mom and Dad in the stands. Perhaps that’s the incentive they need. s../ LEADS BRAVES—Halfback Julius Smith scored two touchdowns in leading the Chowan College Braves to a 21-7 victory over the East Carolina Buccaneer Club in their first home football game October 2. Moms Flunk 'Parking' CSSO Report Chowan Science Service Organization By ERMA BOMBECK As a woman who has been trying for three years to get through “The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit” I have nothing but admiration for the housewife- mother who returns to the college scene. At a luncheon the other day I found myself seated near no less than three women who were enrolled in the local university. One said to the other, “How is it going? She shrugged, “Better, I’m getting there earlier now which gives me an advantage.” “How many hours this semester?” “Thirty-six a week.” “And you’re in your second year?” She nodded. I could contain myself no longer. “You women are un believable.” I said. “You tend children, run a house and still find time to go to school 36 hours a week. When will you finish?” “Finish?” said the woman swirling around, “I haven’t even started. I’ve been circling around the university 36 hours a week for the last two years looking for parking place.” The other two agreed. It seems the problem is a universal one. It isn’t the high cost of tuition and books that makes college prohibitive, it’s the cost of parking tickets. It isn’t the challenge of older women in a young academic world, it’s whether or not you can parallel park a square car on a curved curb. The way they explained it to me is that a university will build a school to accommodate 25,000 students. There will be 200 parking places. Eighty of them will be for a faculty of 560. Fifty will be alloted to visiting dignitaries who aren’t and who never were visiting the college. Forty spaces will be sealed off by ropes and designated with a sign that reads “G-11 PERMITS” (No one in the entire university has ever heard of a G-11 Permit, but most suspect this was a freshman initiation prank in 1941.) Thirty parking places are marked, “Student” (with towaway zone in small letters beneath it.) “Have you approached the university about parking spaces” : I asked. “Yes, they’re on order from a company in Wisconsin that is on strike.” answered one of the women mechanically. “By the way, what are you reading? ‘The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit’.” “That’s the trouble with going to college,” said her friend. “You’re so busy driving, you never get time to read the new books.” (Richmond Times-Dispatch) Scientists Speculate On Tektites Intramural Schedule News from BSU Thursday.

By ARTHUR RIDDLE Tektites are strange, round, glasslike “stones,” relatively small in size. They have been found in many different parts of the world; the types differing from area to area. Perhaps the most significant thing about tektites is that they are supposed to have'eonie from outer space. One theory of the origin of tektites is that they came from the Moon when some of the Moon’s huge impact craters were formed. This theory holds that when an unusually big impact occurred, it was so violent that particles of the moon’s surface were thrown into outer space, and some of these par ticles were captured by the Earth’s gravity. An impact such as the one that formed the crater Tycho could have done this. Another theory holds that tektites were parts from comets which collided with the Earth. They may well have been the nuclei around which the frozen gases the comet formed. Scientists now say that some very interesting things could have happened if such a comet really struck the Earth. First, it is believed possible that a collision between the Earth and a YOUGH REVIVAL TEAMS The response to Hugh Clark’s invitation to get involved in witnessing to your faith through weekend youth revival teams makes it likely that we will have at least three such teams working together this semester.

IB -Thi's By GILBERT TRIPP comet could cause the magnetic poles of the Earth to reverse. This event, called a magnetic polarity reversal, is simply a switching of the north and south magnetic poles, and it is known to have occurred a number of times during the Earth’s history. If indeed comets hitting the Earth caused these reversals, another strange event can probably be explained similarly. It is known that certain life forms became extinct about the time magnetic polarity reversals occurred, and it was thought that these two events were somehow connected. A cometary impact could very likely cause these peculiar ex tinctions, as well as the polarity reversals. A comet is composed of large amounts of frozen gases, such as methane and amonia, which could have been respon sible for the extinction of some life forms which couldn’t tolerate these gases when the comet brought them to Earth. These tektites have always been found in fields, which have been located in Australia, on the Ivory Coast of Africa, and other places around the world.

After a heart breaking tie with Baltimore and a disappointing loss to Potomac State, Chowan took out it’s revenge on East Carolina. “They were a much better team than we had ex pected” said Coach Garrison. Julius Smith scored twice and George Sands scored once to give Chowan thefr 21 poiint .tptal. The condition of the field did how ever kept Chowan from trying out thefr explosive passing game. Coming off the field with thefr satisfying win over East Carolina, Chowan now faces a Ferrum team ranked ninth in the nation. Ferrum, Chowan’s arch rival, is looking for its fourth win in a row, but Coach Garrison has a few tricks up his sleeve to halt thefr winning streak. We will try to move the ball on the ground, but we won’t hesitate to pass if our ground game doesn’t go”said Coach Garrison. By Jay Sidrer | The album is on Grunt Records. This is the new Air plane record company started by Paul Kantner and Marty Balin, former member of the group. Jack Casady, Jorma Kaukonen and Papa John Creach are new members of Hot Tuna. Traces of Hot Tuna can be heard on BARK. Paul Kantner is still very much into the Jefferson Starship type of fantasy. It shows in his works. On “Rock and Roll Island,” Grace Slick’s voice will send chills through your spine every now and then. Grace is playing piano on this album as an integral part of the band and it is a fan tastic unprovement. Jorma and Joey have put some works into the album. “Feel So Good” is the kind of stuff that the Airplane did back in the “good old days.” All fri all, this album shows more versatility than anything since Surrealistic Pillow, which is perhaps one of the best modern American rock album ever. BARK is not a perfect album, but the problems faced by the Of the approximate fifty million hunters in fte United States, over two-thfrds of them began thefr hunting careers by stalking the elusive squfrrel. Here in the Southeast, there are two major types for which there is an open season, the Gray and Fox Squfrrel. By far the most com mon is the Gray Squirrel with an average size of fifteen inches in overall length and a weight of one pound. On the other hand, the Fox Squfrrel is much rarer in this area, but he is at least twice as large. The average size is an overall length of twenty five inches and a weight of two and a half pounds. There are several factors that make the squfrrel such a popular game animal. First, of course would be its wide distribution with huntable populations in every county in the State. The second is that no expensive equipment is necessary. This is why squirrel hunting is so popular with young boys and college students. It is not necessary to belong to a hunt club, have an expensive ffrearm, or mafritain a pack of dogs. All that is requfred is a gun, some shells, and a place to hunt. As to the type of ffrearm that should be used, there are two i major schools of thou^t. Some individuals prefer the light and quiet .22 rifle, while others prefer to use a shotgun. Both have definite advantages and disad vantages. Before I could make a decision on what type of ffrearm to use, I would want to know which of the four basic types of squfrrel hunting was to be done. They are: still hunting, (a slow movement through the woods until game is sighted and then attempting a stalk), (finding a likely looking spot and let the game come to you, a type of ambush), hunting with a dog, and drifting (floating down a small creek or river). Since most of us do not own or have access to a good dog and this type of hunting is best after the frost has caused the leaves to fall, we will reserve it for later. Drifting requfres the use of a Iwat and is usually done in connection with a duck hunt (the duck season opens late in November); therefore, we will reserve it until later, also. If I were asked to make a choice between the remaining two, I would have to decline. I personally prefer a combination of the two especially when hunting in new territory. I like to move along slowly trying to make as little noise as possible and listen for the distinctive “bark” of a squirrel that will betray his position. A squirrel, like the Bluejay, is the “burglar alarm” of the forest. When one is disturbed and sounds the alarm it is only the most experienced hunter that can approach hfrn unnoticed. Another giveway to a squfrrel’s position is to watch for an unusual swaying of a limb or branch. For this type of hunting, that usually offers fast moving targets, I prefer a shotgun. While slowly moving along I look for those spots that offer excellent feed and cover. I usually mark these on a mental map for later use. If the area shows sign of frequent use I may fry sitting and waiting for an hour or so. For ambushes of this sort I like to use a scope sighted .22 rifle. It offers a test of one’s shooting skill, provides a greater range, and does not disrupt the tranquility of nature’s cathedrals. The two most productive places I have found to wait for squfrrels are in hickory groves and in the woods adjacent to a peanut field. At the ffrst of the season when there are enough leaves on the frees to help conceal a stalk I prefer still hunting; however, once the leaves fall, waiting is the only way. Now to address myself to the original question of which do I prefer; I must answer, it depends upon the time of year, the location, and the existing con ditions. That is a fancy way to say, “I don’t know.” In most of the woods of this area, there is a real possibiUty of seeing a deer while attempting to ambush squfrrels; therefore, I definitely prefer to use a shotgun. It is unlawful to shoot big game in North Carolina with rimffre cartridges. With a shotgun it is easy to quietly remove small shot and replace them with buck shot and thereby collect a real trophy. The squfrrel season in this county (Hertford) and the neigh boring ones opens on October 11. The limit is eight per day and sixteen in possession. The above limit may contain two fox squfrrels per day, with four in possession. Squirrels also have a season limit of seventy five. The shooting hours are from siuirise to sunset. Remember, if you can’t collect a limit of squfrrels, you can always get a limit of litter. s TiCK By DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS & GROUNDS I am pleased to report that the pro-rate is currently running quite a bit under the total of this last year.
