Central By HARRY PICKETT Chowan College split a pair of con ference baseball games with Eastern Tarheel foe Southeastern Coummunity College here March 31 to open league play for both teams. The Braves took the first game of the double-header by a 10-1 decision, and dropped the night-cap game, 8-7. Behind the 5-hit pitching of sophomore right-hander Russell In gram, the Braves unleashed a potent hitting attack, cracking out 16 hits in the first g 'me of the twin-bill. The Braves managed to smack three homers, two doubles and two triples. Catcher Francis Fritzgerald was the roost productive hitter in the Braves’ vivitory. The New Jersey freshman responded with two singles, a triple, a h«met'*n(f five RBFS^in fotif-platw-slp- ^irthcS§.' §ttpH6iW6re first bitsfeHlifr Vince Lococo collected three hits, clouting out a single, double, triple and driving home a score. Teammates Dean Barrow and Jay Sexton each homered for the tribe. Brave coach Jerry Hawkins pleas ed with his team’s victory cimmented, “We hit the ball real good.” After two innings of play and leading 4-0 in the second game, the Brave corps yielded three runs in the fourth frams. Brave starter Randy Temple was tagg ed with a solo homerun from outfielder Russell Tyler to open the inning. The blast traveled some 400 feet before teammates Dave Meadows who walk ed, and Scott Absher who singled to left, were driven home on a two-run single to right from the bat of freshman standout Mike Bracey. With Chowan ahead 4-3 going into the seventh and supposedly final inning of the game, Bracey tagged Temple for a homer to straight-away centerfield knotting the game at 4-all and sending it into extra innings. With Temple still on the mound for the Braves, Southeastern pushed three ■runs home with a couple of singles and a homer. Freshman hurler Rory Davis came on in relief of the left-handed Temple with two outs and gave up an RBI double to Bracey. This run, charg ed to Temple, gave the Rams a com fortable 8-4 lead.

The ball was mishandled by Ram left fielder Terry Vereen allowing Clayton to score. The little outfielder’s cut-off 4hrow was off target and Barrow scored as well. Center fielder Sexton came up next. The lanky sophomore sent Ram reliever Jamie Godwin’s first pitch sail ing over the left-centerfield fence to br ing his team within one, 8-7. With a chance for a dramatic finish, Lococo, Chowan’s all-conference first Injuries on Mat Douse Brave Hopes By SUSAN PATE Six wrestlers from Chowan qualified for the National Junior College Wrestl ing Championships. These six wrestlers returned home from the toifmament Tuesday, March 6 with a dis^pointing score of 5% points overall without any place winners. The Braves started the tournament strong with Doug Saunders and Roger Randall winning their opening matches impressively. Joe Morgan and Steve Miltsakakis were both injured in their first match. Miltsakakis, even though he wrestled the third period in con siderable pain, finished his first match with a 10-9 win. Morgan, however, was unable to finish his match and lost by default. Charles McCook and Mike Neilands lost their opening matches and were out of the tournament. Miltsakakis and Randall lost their se cond match. Miltsakakis, who attemp ted to wrestle with a heavily taped ankle and was therefore unable to use his right leg during the match, lost 3-12. Randall suffered his first defeat for the 1978-79 season by losing his match 11-15. Saunders won his second match with a 16-12 decision. But he lost his last two matches 7-11 and 3-10. The Braves finished the season with an overall good record. Five of the six qualifiers for the Nationals were freshmen and should provide a good stronghold for the 1979-M season. Saunders, who was the highlight of the tournament for Chowan, is a freshman and will have another op portunity next year to wrestle in the Na tionals.

But the Miami native whiffed however for the final out. “We didn’t hit in the second game,” Hawkins noted. “We waited too late. That was the difference between the two games.” , Hawkins, who had to make the deci sion whether to remove a fatigued Tem ple or stick with liim, said he may have made a mistake by letting him go in the seventh. “I probably kept Randy in too long. He probably got tired,” Hawkins said. DUGOUT CHATTER - Chowan’s Lady Braves picked up an 8-7 decision over North Carolina Central’s junior, varsity softball team. Ardena Hawking gained Ihe victory which pushed Coach Roy Winslow’s team to 3-2 on the year.

Last season, his first at the school. Smith’s team went 20-8 for the season, posting an unblemished 8-0 ETC stan ding and an undefeated 13-0 homecourt mark, playing with a young, talented group of freshmen, which became the catalyst to this year’s club — Chowan’s most successful team. Smith, who owns a two-year record of 43-15 and two undefeated regular season championships, says receiving the award for the second year in a row means “that we had the best team for the last two years.” The modest coach went on to say after winning the award, that he was pleased to receive the honor again, “but the players are the ones that won that trophy. The players did a real good job.” More Women Sought For Research Test By KATHY FISHER More of Chowan’s women are needed to participate. This point was stressed by Roger AUen, a psychologist at Roanoke- Chowan Mental Health Center, in discussing the results of his research on psychological and personaUty tests thus far. AUen’s research is for the completion of his dissertation and in volves studying the different ways of in terpreting and using personality in ventories. So far the turnout here has been limited to around 15 to 20 a night with only about 45 women taking the test in aU. AUen needs at least 100 women in order to have the test results analyzed, but he would like to have 150 if possible. He wiU be back on campus after mid term in order for more to come and complete this research survey. The results of this test will basicaUy give a person an idea of how her characteristic traits compare with those of other women who have taken this particular test. There wiU be scales on friendlinesss, dominance and numerous other traits The main reason for this research survey, according to AUen, is to com pare the personality scales that be has drawn up himself with those that have been in use for a long period of time. This research wiU help him determine just how vaUd his scales are by cor relating the old with the new. After the results are in, a few people wiU be asked to continue by taking a ALLEN few more tests. At this time the type of tests are not known. AUen wiU meet with his committee at Texas Tech before this can be determined. After Jiis research here, he hopes to have enough material to complete his dissertation, but his research may still continue. He wiU continue to give his personality tests, make changes and alterations in them and, perhaps, start aU over again untU he develops a better working test.
