Tough Schedule Faces Brave Wrestling Team By JANE BRIDGFORTH Chowan’s 1977-78 wrestling team completed the season with an 11-6 record and an impressive 3rd place in the Mid-Atlantic Region. “The 1978-79 team faces a tough cliallenge ahead to keep pace with last year’s team,” Coach Steve Nelson said. “Our schedule is by far the toughest since I’ve been at Chowan. We face op- pon,ents from four major universities and teams from seven different states. We have the opportunity of hosting the South’s number one rated Junior Col lege, Broward College of Ft. Lauder dale, Fla., on Dec. 18.” The team’s chances of repeating last year’s performance was dimmed before practice even began. “For the first time since I came to Chowan, we have returning a veteran team,” Nelson said. However, because of in juries and academic deficiencies, three lettermen will be on the sidelines when the season opens. Now it appears seven or eight freshmen will join Mid-Atlantic Regional Champions, Mike Ferrara and Roger Randall in the Braves line up. Ferrara was Chowan’s most outstan ding wrestler in 1977-78 with a 23-5 record. He finished in the top eight in the Junior College National and will be at 142 lbs. again this year. Nelson said, “Mike injured his knee over the sum mer and really should sit out this year, but he is such a competitor, 1 do not see anyone replacing him.” Randall, who finished the season with a 21-6-1 record, produced Chowan’s only undefeated dual meet season in 1977-78. He will be returning in the 150 lb. weight class. Nelson commented, “Roger is a tremendous athlete. He dominated the Regional Tournament last year. He worked with weights during the off season and appears even lietter this year. Chowan’s front line looks solid with the following wrestlers vying for posi tions: Charles McCook (118 lbs.). Garland Moseley (118 lbs.), Doug Saunders (126 lbs.), Tim Edwards (134 lbs.), Scott Brumley (142 lbs.), Andy Galarza (142 lbs.), Jim Morris (150 lbs.), Joe Morgan (158 lbs.), Ricky Griggs (158 lbs.), Anthony Leonard (167 lbs.), Mike Neilands (177 lbs.), Steve MiltMkasis (190 lbs.), and Mike Carter (190 lbs.). The team is presently without a heavy weight. The team will have problems with depth if any of the starters become in jured. Nelson is entering the season with anxiety and optimism. “Wrestling freshmen is very difficult,” he observ ed. “No one ever knows how they are going to make the transition from high school to college. One match they may be up and the next completely flat. One thing is for sure, the team should be ex citing to watch and the challenge to cap last year’s performance should keep the team competitive.” The quickest way to the gutter is to curb our high ideals, to ditch our self respect, to drain our resourcess, and to step off the path of sobriety. If you have trouble spotting a self- made man, you probably don’t listen.

Nelson 'Murals Under Way For Fall By JANE BRIDGFORTH Intramural sports started off with flag football again this year, but the ladies and the gentlemen played by the same rules. Competing in the women’s games were first and second floor Jenkins and first, second and third floor Belk. First floor Jenkins are the over all champs in the competition. Twenty-two teams started out the competition in the National League in men’s flag football. This was narrowed down to the top eight teams. These teams were Columns, undefeated, with a record of 8-0. They were followed by sixth floor Parker, third floor Parker and second floor Parker. The playoffs were held on Thursday October 19. In the American League there are two undefeated teams. They are third floor East and Mixon with records of 8-0. They are followed by second floor East and a tie for third place between three teams. They are second floor West N., first floor West N., and first floor East. The playoffs were held on Wednesday October 18. Also in Intramurals was Football skills. This was held on Thursday September 28. The over all champ was Jeff Smith, representing third floor Parker. Jeff punted 58 yards, kicked a 51 yard field goal and passed 45 yards. Rusty Ingram came in second in the competion. On Thursday October 12 a cross coun try race was held. This race was over a two-mile track with fourteen rxmners. The winning runner was Doug Saunders with a time of 8 minutes and 45 seconds. Andy Galarza came in second with a sprint to the finish. Andy’s time was 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Third place was won by Tim Edwards with a time of 9 mi”utes and 3 seconds, and Roger Randall came in fourth with a time of 9 minutes and 4 seconds. Ferrum's One-Point Victory Spoils Chowan Homecoming By HARRY PICKETT Chowan College, the sixth ranked junior college football team in the na tion, fell to defending national cham pion Ferrum, 17-16, on Saturday, Oct. 7, before a standing-room-only crowd at the Chowan Stadium football field. The Braves, who played before one of the largest homecoming crowds in the school’s history, gave the Chowan par tisans many thrills during the 60- minute marathon; but they were plagued, however, by a couple of costly errors. The game, which was postponed for two hours because of a tnixup over the assignment of officals, saw Clhowan with an opportunity to win perhaps the biggest game in the school’s history. Chowan head coach James Garrison sent 5-foot-3-inch place kicker Thomas Schenk in the game with 12 seconds re maining to ice the victory. With the football on the Ferrum 35, Schenk concentrated pensively, ap proached the ball, and sliced it. 11)6 ball went sailing wide to the left and the game was over. Chowan Edged by Bobcats By PHIL ROYCE BANNER ELK - Lees-McRea Col lege handed Chowan College its second straight defeat, 14-12, here Oct. 14 in the Bobcats’ homecoming game. The first half was mostly a defensive struggle. The only score came on a 20- yard run by freshman tailback Percy Godette for a 6-0 Chowan lead in early in the second period. Chowan’s defense remained in con trol until quarterback Frankie Walker shocked the Braves with a 48-yard touchdown pass to Junior Brownley late in the third quarter. Lees-McRae took the lead 7-6 on William Gore’s kick. Then Lees-McRae began to dominate the game. Its backs battered Chaowan’s defense. Only a fumble at Chowan’s 2-yard line prevented a score. But a few plays later the Bobcats regained possession at the Braves’ 2 on an interception. Fullback Rocky Beebe leaped over for the TD, and Gore’s kick gave the Bobcats a 14-6 advantage. On the first play after the kickoff, Chowan struck pay dirt on quaterback Ben Mungin’s 63-yard pass to split end Vince Lococo. A pass for a tying two- point conversion was incomplete, and 4:25 remained in the game. Chowan suffered two more intercep tions, the second on the final play. Godette led Chowan’s backs with 67 yards in 15 carries. Mungin added 55 on 14 runs. Lococo received three passes for 87 yards. Linebacker Donnie Jones and tackle Keith McFadden led the defensive with eight tackles each. Safety Rick Stot- tlemyer and tackle Keith Hall had seven each. In the final quarter Lees-McRae ran the ball 21 times to the Braves’ five. Lees-McRae also made all four in terceptions in the period to frustrate the Braves.

Eric Nelson and Mike Clark scored touchdowns of Chowan and earlier Schenk had booted a 37-yard field goal to put the Braves ahead 3-0 with 6:32 re maining in the first quarter. Chowan entered the game as the most explosive offensive team in the junior college rankings. The Braves had averaged 38.2 points per contest, and were one of the top defensive teams in America — yielding just 13.2 points a game. After Schenk sent the Braves ahead 3-0, Ferrum took the kickoff and ran three plays before Panther halfback John Clouten fumbled on the Chowan 45-yard line. Jack Cerone recovered for the Braves. Quaterback Ben Mungin drove the Braves down on eight plays, mixing it up with the running of Percy Godette, Tommy Jones, and Vernon Morrison; and then found tight end Eric Nelson open in the end zone for his fourth touchdown reception of the season. Schenk's extra point made it 10-0. On the Panthers next possesion, they were stymied by the Chowan defensive unit, led by freshman Keith McFadden, a 292-pound tackle from Charleston, S.C. The Panthers were forced to punt from their own 32, but the Braves’ defense was called for roughing the punter. That gave the Panthers the ball on their own 46 and a first down. After two plays and a second-and- nine situation, Jeff Topping, the leading passer in the Coastal Athletic Con ference, connected with split end Leon Chadwick for a 52-yard scoring pass. Scott Schramme’s extra point put Fer rum within three at 10-7 with 10:32 re maining before half. Garrison would later say that this was the “key play” of the game. On Chowan’s very next possession, and Mungin back to pass on a fourth- down play, the Chowan signalaller was dumped from behind, fumbling on the Chowan 26-yard line. Lance Stewart recovered the fumble for Ferrum. Topping completed two passes en route to the next Panther score. Steve Burton scampered in the end zone from a yard out to give Ferrum a 14-10 lead with 7:27 remainintj in the half. Chowan came back in the third quarter to go ahead by two when Qark took an option from Mungin — swept around the right side of his line — and scored from 10 yards out. Mungin’s at tempt to run for a 2-point conversion after a bobbled pass from center failed, and Chowan led 16-14 with 8:39 remain ing. In the latter stage of the fourth quarter, the Panthers rambled 85 yards to the Chowan four but couldn’t bull their way in against the tenacious Brave 11. They settled, however, for a Schramme 21-yard field goal with 2:43 left to play. His kick turned out to be the winning edge. With only 50 seconds remaining in the contest, Mungin led a drive from the Ferrum 16 to the 18 of Chowan, connec ting on passes to Morrison and Vince Lococo and getting an interference call to set up Schenk’s attempted field goal try with 12 seconds remaining. Braves Scalp Vikings TROY, N. Y. — Chowan College snap ped a two-game losing streak with a 41-16 romp over Hudson Valley College here Oct. 1 in a Coastal Conference foot ball game. Sophomore quarterback Ben Mungin fired three touchdown passes and ran a two-point conversion, and flanker Ver non Morrison and tailback Michael Clark tallied twice. The Braves never trailed although the lowly Vikings were never out of the contest until Morrison broke loose on a 50-yard scamper with 4V4 minutes left for the final touchdown. Defensive end Hal Henderson set up two Brave scores with a fumble recovery and an interception. The recovery came in the opening minute at the Viking 19-yard line, and three plays later Freshman Tailback Percy Godette blasted four yards to pay dirt. Henderson’s interception late in the third quarter triggered a five-play drive at the Hudson Valley 26. Penalties pushed the Braves back, and finally Mungin connected with tight end Eric Nelson on a 3®-yard field goal. Following Godette’s scoring run and Polisino’s field goal, the Braves drove 72 yards in nine plays for their second TD, a 15-yard jaunt by Clark, with 4:00 left in the first quarter. Mungin then ran the conversion for a 14-3 lead after the first PAT was wide. The Vikings rebounded on a fourth- and one play when Galusis struck Mack for a 34-yard touchdown pass. Two series later Mungin dashed 56 yards to the Viking 20 to set up a nine-yard TD flip to Morrison with 1:40 left in the half. Chuck Amos then kicked the first of three conversions. The visitors scored twice in the final three minutes of the third period. Mungin passed 25 yards to Clark and 38 to Nelson for a 34-10 lead. Hudson Valley then drove 96 yards against Chowan reserves, and Mack caught his second TD pass. A two-point run failed, and Chowan led 34-16. But after an onside kick was recovered by Chowan, Morrison dashed 50 yards on first down for an insurance tally.
