In Homecoming Contest
Braves Stomp
Knights, 49-7
Seven different players, in
cluding two from the defense,
scored touchdowns as Chowan
breezed past Homecoming foe
Montgomery Community College
of Rockville, Md., 49-7, Saturday
afternoon, Oct. 30.
In addition to the parade and
other activities, the alumni and
other fans received an unex
pected bonus when the sun ap
peared just prior to the kickoff.
The sunshine brightened the
halftime performance of the
outstanding Princess Anne High
School band of Virginia Beach
and the appearance of the
Homecoming Court. Crowned
queen was sophomore Betsy
Sullivan of Richmond while
Debra Alley of Norfolk was
named freshman princess.
Chowan, playing on a field that
was wet and muddy in places,
raced to a 14-0 lead before
Montgomery scored its lone
touchdown. The Braves’ first
score, a one yard run by fullback
George Sands, was set up by
linebacker Jerry Borum’s in
terception, the first of three for
the Silver Springs, Tenn. native.
Borum returned it 34 yards to the
six where it took the Braves three
plays to score. Gary Chantry
added the first of seven straight
extra points.
Chowan’s second score came
early in the second quarter when
tailback Rocky Dunbar plunged
three yards to cap a 33 yard drive
following a 42 yard punt return by
Carl Porter. A Montgomery
interception of a Dale McCafferty
pass at the Braves’ 25 set up the
Knights’ only score, registered on
a three yard pass from quar
terback Gary Paquet to running
back Lance Scott. Jim Phelps
made the kick to narrow
Chowan’s lead to 14-7. Before the
half ended Chowan added
another score with McCafferty
covering the final three yards of a
73 yard march. But few fans felt
the final score would be 21-7. The
Braves were too hot.
Chowan matched its first half
total exploding for three touch-
dovms in the third period. Two
were scored by the defense.
Borum returned an interception
80 yards and tackle Bryce Cobia
rambled 24 yards with a fumble
recovery. Halfback Porter ran
one yard to end a 67 yard drive
and the Braves led 42-7. Chowan
finally went to the air for its final
touchdown, a 15-yard pass from
Paul Black to split end Bobby
Britt.
Chantry’s seventh kick was
perfect giving him scoring honors
with seven points. Seven of his
teammates each had six points
and Chowan’s fans had
something to talk about as they
filed out of the stadium. Last
year, the Braves beat Harford at
homecoming, 49-7.
Defensively, Borum,
linebackers Stuart Christian and
Gregg White, back Terry Sandy
and tackle Ed Love put the
brakes to the Knights’ offense.
While Borum made three in
terceptions, Love also harrassed
the passer blocking three passes.
In all, it was an impressive
performance by a team which
lost three of its first five games
before rattling Harford last
week, 39-0. Chowan appears to
have the momentum it will need
when it faces Wesley at home
Saturday at 8 p.m. The
Wolverines were the only team to
defeat Chowan last year and the
Braves have revenge in their
eyes. Judging from their per
formance against Montgomery,
Chowan will be ready.

Wesley Stops
Braves, 14-12
Wesley’s defense scored two
quick touchdowns and Paul
Harvey kicked the extra points to
provide the margin as the
Wolverines beat Chowan, 14-12,
Saturday night at the Braves’
stadium.
Chowan’s defense stopped
Wesley’s running attack, limiting
the Dover, Del., players to 106
yards rushing, and only 39 in the
first half when the Wolverines
scored both of their touchdowns.
The defense also paved the way
for Chowan’s second score early
in the fourth quarter but a try for
a two point conversion to tie the
game failed.
Wesley’s first score disrupted a
see-saw contest, stunning the
Braves. When Braves quar
terback Dale McCafferty fum
bled on a handoff, an alert
defensive end, Earl Passwaters,
scooped up the ball and raced 65
yards into the end zone. The extra
point gave Wesley a 7-0 lead with
7:59 left in the first quarter.
Wesley’s defense did it again
with three minutes gone in the
scond quarter when Bill Tesno,
defensive back, picked up a
blocked punt and fell into the end
zone for the score, giving Weley a
140- halftime lead.
During the first half, Arthur
Something To
Thinic About
Our time, our today
Free to make it as we will
Alone, as individuals.
Together, with man..
Reaching out to others seeking help
Asking only friendship in return
Along with a chance to be united.
Could we stand as one--together
Respecting all ideas and desires
Trusting in emotions?
Who will save the world, while we chase rainbows
Fight polution, war and everlasting hate?
Constant chants of love beckon-but how?
The answer cannot be found with one,
But instead, with many
All joining the wrinkled hands of hope, with sincerity.
There will be no life
If we cannot face tomorrow together
United, but as one
With life’s fast pace just our own
To run, skip and laugh with the wind,
Making all yesterdays bright.
Hold your head high, stand tall with your ambitions
Supply your ambitions with dreams,
Dreams of a better world,
Make them come true.
Standing still as time moves on
We cannot turn our back to the sorrow
To poverty, disease and pain.
Thoughts, emotions-freedom-bound
Individually, we stand isolated
Together we stand fulfilled.
Is it so difficult to unite in peace.
There has to be a compromising point.
We must meet halfway “and not just out of fear’ ’.
If we could turn back to the many yesterdays
Knowing what we know now,
Could we have changed life’s pattern?
The sun will always rise.
And there will always be a tomorrow;
If you believe, you shall recieve the strength
To go forth and face the day.

IN TROUBLE—A Chowan Brave stops
the Harford quarterback as he at
tempted to pass. The Brave defensive
unit did a tremendous job in holding
the Harford gridders to one touchdown
in Chowan’s 49-7 victory.

Record Evens With Victory
Hogue, before meeting misfor
tune on the blocked punt, had
kept the Wolverines deep in their
own territory with punts sailing
52, 50 and 48 yards.
Chowan used some razzle-
dazzle on the kickoff after the
Wolverines second score. It
wasn’t clear to anyone in the
stadium just which Brave had the
ball, the faking was so good, until
speedster Bobby Britt broke into
the open at his own 25. It ap
pear^ he might go all the way
but at Chowan’s 41 a Wesley
player slapped the ball out of his
hands and the Woleverines
recovered the fumble after a mad
scramble.
The second half was all
Chowan, except for one Wesley
drive that stalled at Chowan’s
one. The Braves made the only
sustained drive of the evening for
a score with fullback George
Sands bursting 36 yards through
the middle to complete a 61 yard
march with 6:30 left in the third
period. Twice Gary Chantry’s
kicks for the extra point was good
but nullified by penalties. The
third try was from the 20 and was
wide left to leave the gap at 14-6.
Chowan’s defense set up the
final score when Allen Nobles
recovered a fumble of a punt at
Wesley’s 10. On fourth and six,
tailback Rocky Dunbar and
center Harry Vann of Mur
freesboro wrote their own script
for the TD. Dunbar received a
pass from Black but when his
progress was impeded he later
rolled to Vann who covered the
final four yards. Quarterback
Paul Black elected to pass from
his eight, where a penalty had
pushed the ball, for the tie but
Julius Smith, the receiver, was
stopped short.
Over 11 minutes still remained
but the only team to threaten
again was Wesley. The
Wolverines drove to within one
foot of the Braves goal. On fourth
down, Chowan’s line threw the
runner back to give the ball to the
offense. Three plays later,
Chowan was forced to punt.
Chowan’s own defense held and
Chowan took over with 1:12
remaining. On the first play.
Black’s pass was intercepted at
Weley’s 49 and the Wolverines
ran out the clock to take their
fifth straight victory after
opening with three losses.
Cliowan’srecord is now 3-4-1 with
Evans the opponent Saturday at
the North Cabarrus High School
stadium in Concord at 8 p. m.
The result was a bitter
disappointment for the Braves
and especially the sophomores
who had sought revenge for the
one defeat administered by
Wesley last year. The Wolverines
won the Coastal Conference
Championship with a 37-17
thrashing of the Braves in Dover.
This year they are out of the
running but have developed into
one of the best clubs in the con
ference. Chowan has now lost
three games by a total of eight
points with only Ferrum making
it no contest with the Braves. The
Tigers won 27-6 in the rain on
their own field.

Sports Editor
After getting off a dismal start
and finding themselves 1-3-1
midway through the season,
Chowan is now enjoying the
sweetness of victory. Coming off
a 39-0 whitewashing of Harford
College, Chowan showed no
mercy to Montgomery State.
Playing before a huge
Homecoming crowd, Chowan
crushed the opposition by a score
of 49 to 7. Their highest point total
all season.
“The improvement of our of
fensive line play has to be the big
factor in our last two victories,”
declared Coach James Garrison.
“They have blocked extremely
well in the last three games,” he
added.
Game Standouts
Standouts on offensive were
Karl Porter, filling in for injured
Julius Smith, and Rocky Dunbar,
who has rushed for over 100 yards
in each of the last four games.
The defense was once again
superb, limiting Montgomery to
one touchdown after blanking
Harford the week before.
Sparking the defense once
again were Stuart Christian, Ed
Love and Jerry Borum, who
intercepted three passes. Borum
thrilled the crowd when returning
an intercepted pass some 82
yards. “The whole defense did an
outstanding job,” Coach
Garrison convincingly added.
Gary Chantry provided
Chowan with a good kicking
game, something they have not
had all season.
Looking over the season so far.
Coach Garrison remarks “if we
could have had a few right breaks
at the right times, we would be on
top of the league.” He added,
“however, we would be very
pleased with a 6-3-1 record.”
Perhaps that’s not impossible.

Back in early September when
it was dry, no one ever dreamed
of what was yet to come. A very
wet September was followed by
the wettest October in the history
of the U. S. Weather Dept. This
month broke the existing mark
set back in 1872.
Coach Garrison was tellimg me
about one of his hunting trips the
other day. It went like this: He
and Coach Hawkins were squirrel
hunting along one of his favorite
branches and they were having a
lot of difficulty staying on dry
ground. Since it was so wet down
in the swamp. Coach Garrison
made the suggestion that they
climb up and hunt on the hard
wood ridges. When they made up
on the ridge. Coach Hawkins
spotted a squirrel’s nest. He told
Garrison to get ready to shoot
while he went over and shook the
nest and tried to drive the
squirrels out. There just hap
pened to be a vine handy and
Hawkins gave it a couple of tugs.
Ffrom the rustle in the nest, it
was evident that something was
calling this place home. Garrison
told him to shake the nest again
and to shake it harder this time.
Coach Hawkins gave a series of
short jerks and the rustle was

repeated. With this he gave a
mighty tug and out of the nest
came two flounders.
I know it has been wet and I
know the coach is an honest man.
If he said there were flounders in
that squirrel’s nest, there must
have been; however, I thought
flounders were salt water fish.
With all the swamps and
lowlands under water, all the
game animals have been con
centrated on the small ridges and
knolls around the edges of these
areas. This makes for very op
portune time to collect one of
those old bucks that don’t or
dinarily venture far from dense
cover. I have heard reports of
several people killing trophy deer
and that several trips have been
made to Suffolk. I have been
fortunate enough to see two of
these, but unfortunate in seeing
them on the back of someone
else’s pick-up.

limit is 75.
In order to hunt ducks, one
must have a Duck Stamp. TTiis is
a federal permit that is required
to hunt migratory waterfowl. To
purchase a Duck Stamp, one
must go to a post office where in
the past one also got a copy of the
rules and regulations. This year
the administration did not ap
propriate any funds in order to
have these printed; therefore, we
will reprint a copy of the rules as
they appared in “Wildlife In

issue.
In closing, all I can say is that I
am still picking up my limit of

NEW YORK (AP)-Frank
Sinatra’s lawyers have filed a $5
million suit against the weekly
newspaper “Midnight” claiming
the publication defamed the
retired entertainer by falsely
reporting he had cancer and
would soon die.
The suit in U.S. District Court
in Manhattan claimed Sinatra
“has never had nor does he have
cancer, nor has any diagnosis
been made by any doctor that he
has cancer.”
Cited in the complaint was a
May 10, 1971 “Midnight” story
headlined, “Frank Sinatra has
cancer,” that claimed the singer
was forced to retire because he
was “suffering from cancer of
the throat; and that within a
period of one year he would be
forced to be confined to a hospital
to await his death.”
The complaint also said Sinatra
was libeled by a Nov. 1, 1971
article in “Midnight” that
reported the entertainer was
secretly married and his new
wife was pregnant.
Named in the suit were the
Midnight Publishing Corp., a
Canadian firm; Fawcett
Publications Inc., Greenwich,
Conn., the U.S. distributor, and
Manhattan News Co., listed as the
New York City distributor of
“Midnight.”
