Page 8—Smoke Signals, Wednesday, November 24, 1971 End Season 5-4-1 Braves Smash Evans for 53-0 Win 'bJns By GILBERT TRIPP Chowan College forgot it’s the age of Aquarius - one of peace and love - as the football Braves “murdered” undermanned Evans, 53-0, Saturday night at the Northwest Cabbarrus High School stadium. It was cold but touchdowns Chowan's game with Piedmont, which was schedule in the Braves' stadium last Saturday night, was cancelled by Piedmont. Head Coach James Garrison received the news from Piedmont's coach Thursday afternoon. The coach reported he did not have enough players due to injuries to play Chowan. Piedmont is located in Charlotte. Last Saturday were as prevalent as flowers in the spring. Seven Braves scored with one, halfback Julius Smith, crossing the goal twice. Smith raced 20 yards midway in the first period to open the floodgates for Chowan. He followed with a second touchdown early in the Chowan played Evens in nearby Concord. One in terested spectator was the Piedmont coach. The result was a 53-0 victory for the Braves. Evans defeated Piedmont earlier in the season 35-6. "Was this the reason Piedmont cancelled?" Coach Garrison was asked. "You figure that out for yourself," was his terse reply. second quarter from E^ran’s 19. Chowan scored two more before halftime. Rocky Dunbar ran 11 yards into the endzone. Gary Chantry kicked the four extra points to put Chowan ahead, 28-0. Chowan’s fans spent the chilly halftime trying to figure out what the final score would be. “I’ll say it will be, let’s see, what’s double of 28, er, S6-0 at the end of the game,” one seer iH-edicted. Chowan was definitely having fun at the expense of Evans, but that doesn’t take anything away from the game Condors. They only had 20 players forcing number to play both ways. Several showed considerable talent including quarterback Robert Kalivoda and halfback Ferrell Barton, who caught most of the 13 passes Kalivoda com pleted. Considering the punishing pass rush Kalivoda got from linebackers, ends and tackles (the entire team almost) he deserved a badge of courage just for stepping back to pass. He learned quickly to release the ball almost as soon as it was hiked to him. Amazingly, most of his throws under this kind of pressure were accurate. The second team took over for Chowan in the third period and failed to score. But the Braves almost doubled their score in the final period. The first two scores were the result of passes from quarterback Paul Black to split ends Bobby Britt and Freddy Knight. In the 45-yard drive, Britt received two straight passes from Black. The first was for 44 yards and the final for the remaining distance. Knight’s catch was for 36 yards. Chowan’s last two scores were the result of runs by Black and halfback John King. Black covered five yards and King 19. On the extra point attempts following the fourth quarter scores, Jim Thomas could con vert on only one. Twice he missed and the other time the AUBREY W. FERGUSON By CAROL DENTON Aubrey Wayne Ferguson is the student chosen for interview for this issue of SMOKE SIGNALS. Wayne is a sophomore in Liberal Arts. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Thomas Ferguson from Newport News, Virginia. He has a sister who is in elementary school and a brother who attends Thomas Nelson Community College. Wayne’s interests are surfing and baseball. His activities at Chowan are treasurer of the Surfing Club and Social Co-Chairman of the Spanish Club. Upon graduation from Chowan, Wayne is planning to enroll at Old Dominion University. When asked his opinion of Chowan as an educational institution he stated “Chowan is a good two year school. It gives you a good background to go into other fields. Chowan offers a lot of choices for electives and the professors are very good.” His opinion of Chowan’s social life and the people was: “You get a chance to meet a lot of people and the people are very friendly. They seem to get along and work together.” When asked why he chose Chowan, he stated, “Chowan seems to give you a better chance to transfer to a senior in stitution.” snap from center sailed over his head. The win evened Chowan’s record at 4-4-1. Evans is now 3-4. Reserve linebacker Robert Seals of Danville, Va. turned in a solid performance in the second half. He made five tackles in dividually, assisted with three others, broke up a pass and recovered a fumble. In the first half, end Joe Gro had five solo tackles while linebackers Stuart Christian and Jerry Borum had three each with Christian assisting with five. Sometimes I am asked which of the outdoor sports I like best. Without even stopping to think, I answer, “HUNTING.” This is then followed by another question, “Which type of hunting do you like best?” To this question I usually pause and ftink and then give a pet cliche: “Whatever happens to be in season at this particular time.” This is not a good answer to the question but since I enjoy all types of hunting it is probably the best answer that I can give. However, after thinking about this question for several years and forcing myself to arrive at one truthful answer, I will have to say that my favorite kind of hunting is BIRD hunting. I am sure that it is by far the hardest of all the various types. It also offers the least tangible reward (the amount of game for the table). It is at this point that BIRD hunting separates the men from the boys. It’s the intangibles that make BIRD hunting. There is probably no other sport that contains so many uncontrollable variables. Some days the wind is wrong or it’s too wet, too dry, too hot, too cold, no birds, the birds fly wrong, or the dog acts up. On those rare occasions when the wind is just a gentle breeze, the woods is cool and damp with plenty of birds, a low pressure cell is moving through, the birds are actively feeding and are holding good, the dog is working to perfection.... all of a sudden, the inevitable happens... you fall into an immediate shooting slump. After three open field covey rises and seven straight-away single shots and not one feather has been cut, the temptation is to quit. You want to throw your gun in the closest river or creek, give away your dog, and go home and abuse the wife and kids. You swear off birds FOREVER. The next day you continue to walk five miles through the thickest briar patch since Brer Rabbit, in hopes of finding a cooperative covey. For all of your efforts you get a sprained anide and multiple lacerations of the hands and face. Then you know the frustrations of a BIRD hunter. It’s the joy of being afield, the companionship of a good friend, the work of a good dog, and the hope that someday you can put it all together and to do it all on the same day.. .that’s what bring the Sportsman back. I think BIRD hunting is just as hard work as I have ever done and at the same time as relaxing and enjoyable as any I have ever done. I guess it is this degree of difficulty that makes me enjoy other types of hunting but makes me love BIRD hunting. Good luck, and remember if you can’t get a limit of birds, you can always get a limit of litter. Circle K Club Provides Ushers By JIM HUNTER As a service to the college, members of Circle K handled the ushering duties at the Fall Drama Production, “Summer and Smoke,” at two of its presentations on November 11 and 12. They not only passed out programs to the audience as they entered the auditorium, but also escorted the college girls, members of the faculty and staff, and guests to their seats. They were also responsible for getting the audience back in their seats after the fifteen minute in termission. Professor Brannon, director of the drama, told Jim Hunter, President of Circle K, that he thought the Circle K members did an excellent job. 1htO(d1um£A. “Nothing gives you more leisure than being right on lime.” 1ht Old 107n£/i “There's no substitute for conscience, unless it's living in a small town/' Basketball Season Gets Underway Chowan College will open its basketball season Nov. 23 and by then Coach Bill McCraw will have made an important decision, one that his own players have forced him to delay, the selection of his starting lineup. “Right now,” the lanky, per sonable coach conceeded, “anyone of nine or 10 players could start. The competition is that close,” he added. Among the 15 members are 11 new players and five are battling for the first team. They are forwards Mike Oliver (6-3) from East Orange, N.J., Nat Wright (6- 1) of Charlottesville, Va., and llay Rawls (6-0) of Windsor, Va.; guard John Spears (6-0) of Afton, Va., and center Don Jotuison(6-5) fi-om Norfolk, Va. The Braves four carryovers are also pressing for the starting assignments. Heading the list is guard Randy Michie (5-7) of Chesapeake, Va., the only [dayer certain to start, who averaged 18 points per game last year. Also returning are forward Ray Brigman, guard Harry Jackson and center Norman ^les. Of these three, Brigman and Roles started a number of games last season.

Th spirited competition is seen as a good omen by McCraw in Chowan’s bid to improve on its 13- 13 mark last season. “The bench is definitely much better than last year,” McCraw noted. “In fact, it is the best we’ve had.” Chowan finished fourth among eight Cavalier-Tarheel Con ference teams during 1970-71 play. The Braves captured the championship the Frederick Military Academy Invitational tournament and placed as nin- nerups in the Evans Ck>Uege Holiday Tournament. This was a marked improvement from the 2- 19 record of the previous year. The presence of Michie provides Chowan with a smart quartert>ack as well as excellent footer, McCraw declared.

Braves End Season With 5-4-1 Record By RICHARD JACKSON Sports Editor After standing 1-3-1 midway through the season, Chowan’s Braves won 4 out of their last 5 games. Only a 14 to 12 loss to Wesley kept them from making it 5 straight. Chowan’s latest win came by forfeit. Central Piedmont, who watched Chowan smash Evans last week forfeited instead of facing the powerful Braves. The for feit gave Chowan a winning record of 5-4-1. Coach Garrison and the team must be commen ded for turning what looked to be a disasterous season into a winning season. The 5-4-1 record was quite a surprise to most everyone. The Braves were expected to roll on to another conference championship, but unforseen injuries to key players and terrible breaks in the first half of the season ruined Chowan’s chances of repeating as con ference champs. The Braves did however pro vide an exciting brand of foot ball for everyone to enjoy. They showed their true winning form in the last half of the season winning 4 out of 5. Chowan’s team for next year will be without such key players as Dale McCafferty, Ed Love, Stuart Christian, Paul Black, Jerry Borum and Rocky Dunbar. However, the recruiting pro gram is underway and you can be assured that Chowan will best junior college teams in the United States. This year was no exception. Student l!l?l y PROVIDE LEADERSHIP—Providing leadership for the Braves are Coach Bill McCraw and co-captains Randy Mitchie and Norman Roles. VALUABLE ASSISTANT—James Engle, manager, sophomore from Morganton, could use another pair of hands for the many jobs his assignment includes. Game Cancelled
