Friday, October 27, 1939 THE CAMPUS ECHO Page Three Sports WITH PORT BUG EAGLES DROP BLUEFIELD 13-6 The CIAA race has started off with a bang. We believe it is too soon to offer any sort of concrete prediction, but the way things are going, some dark horse will pop up the victor. The Lincoln Lions committed a seri ous crime when they defeated the Burghardt-McLendon Eagles at the beginning of the season. From now on, those Eagles intend to go out there in No Man’s Land every Sat urday and bring the bacon home. And what a grand and glorious be ginning, Bluefield and St. Paul going down by way of defeat. What has carried the Eagles so far is their de fensive work, something the team is short on. * * ♦ Gene Harrington, the former Hill side Hornet triple threat player, has landed a tough job with Coach Jim my Lytle’s Shaw Bears. Harrington has been taking care of the quarter back position. Being right out of high school, with plenty to learn and com petition keen. Gene has done a good job so far. Against Howard his punt ing averaged 40 yards. * ♦ * • What is on everybody’s mind is the football game to be played here this week between Howard University and N. C. College. And rightly so, be cause the game shapes up as one of the most important grid encounters of the current season and one that will help settle the CIAA champion ship. The football exploits of the Eagles thus far has been like “Stars Fell on Alabama.” Interest in the game to be played in O’Kelly Field, Durham, is at high pitch throughout North. Carolina. ♦ * * This week finds the CIAA going into their fourth week of activity. To me the going will be very tough for some teams. I see; Hampton losing a hard fought game to Lincoln, but Manuel Rive ro’s Lions won’t have a holiday. Last year Coach Eddie Hunt let Bluefield off with a tie (0-0). This year it will be different. A revamped Morgan eleven will be fighting hard and out to redeem themselves. Union will have a time with Saint Paul giving away the bacon. The Tigers will be playing out of their class. The Smith-Shaw game is hard to figure out. Both teams have fresh man backs who may or who may not. Howard has a fair eleven. They are weak on pass defense. N. C. State should ring the bell three times. Final score: N. C. State, 18; Howard, 6. Kappa Komment To all students, new and old. Alpha Kappa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity wishes to congratulate you for choosing N. C. College as your home for this school year. The brothers of Alpha Kappa be lieve that four years spent on this campus will bring to the individual a harvest full of food for thought, in spiration and an incentive to go out into the world and sow a good seed. On October 12, Alpha Kappa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi gave its annual smoker at the Algonquin Club House. Men of the freshman class were special guests, with bridge, whist and checkers being the games of the hour. Each member of the fraternity gave an informal talk. Little brothers Dick Mack, Reginald Ennis and Ste phen Thomas brought greetings from the Scroller Club. The alumni chap ter was represented by the presence of Dr. Bush, Pinky Carter, William Tuck and Howard Alston. Smokes, Eagles Crucify Saints, 20-0 Dick IVIack, battling captain of the N. C. College Eagles, drove, passed and punted his charging teammates to a 20-0 victory over a hard fighting St. Paul team here. Dick, the younger of the Eagles’ famous Mack brothers, kept his charges in St. Paul territory during the whole game. Sharing hon ors with him in the running were Johnson, W'illiams, Brown, Hall, and Warmick. In the passing offense, Mack and Johnson did the tossing for the locals. In the punting honors. Brown pushed Mack for a close sec ond. The first touchdown came in the closing moments of the second quar ter after Mack and Brown of N. C. College had run the ball from St. Paul’s 44-yard line to the 10, a pen alty for backfield in motion sent them back to the 15, but at this point Hall, who had been out of the game, was rushed in to make the touch down, which he did. The attempt at the extra point was futile. During the third quarter, the Eagles threatened to score when Peerman, the Eagles’ right end, re ceived a pass from Dick Mack which put N. C. on St. Paul’s 12. The ball was carried over on the next play, but was called back because of a holding penalty. Later in the same quarter, a pass from Johnson to Al ston put the Eagles on the visitors’ six and on the next play Johnson went over and again was called back because of a penalty. In the fourth quarter, the second string, which had been playing for two quarters, found themselves and ran over two touchdowns to clinch the game. The first score W3S made by Johnson after he. Brown and Wil liams had run the ball down to the visitors’ two-yard line. The next touchdown came very soon afterward by the air route on a pass from John son to Alston. The extra points for both of these touchdowns were made good by placements from the toe of Johnson. St. Paul was able to garner only a total of 41 yards by rushing, while the locals totaled 236. On defense, they lived up to their names as Eagles by completely tearing the offense to pieces by their fast-charging on all plays. Pitts, the 200-pound tackle for the locals, was in on almost every play, with Anders and Peerman com ing in to give him support in smear ing St. Paul’s plays. The performance of the Eagles in the past two games show them to be well on their way to take care of their homecoming opponents—the Bi- sons of Howard University, whom they will meet Saturday in Durham. A banner crowd of alumni is expected to be present to see the strong-run- ning and passing attack of the N. C. Eagles. Pos. N. C. C. St. Paul LE—Willie Waters LT—Pitts Trent LG—Preston Gaitor C —G.

Eagles Beaten, 13-8, By Lincoln Eleven Oxford, Pa., Oct. 7.—After trailing 8 to 0 for three quarters, the Lincoln College outfit started passing in the last period to push over two touch downs and defeat the North Carolina College Eagles of Durham, 13 to 8. The North Carolina eleven scored in the first period when Pitt blocked a punt and Lincoln recovered in their own end zone for a safety. In the third period the visitors marched 45 yards to push over the touchdown and take an 8 to 0 lead. With five minutes left to play in the game, the locals passed ;or their first touchdown and added the con version to trail 8-7. Gaining posses sion of the ball with two minutes left another pass was completed to put the local team out in front. The N. C. Eagles did the so-called impossible by trouncing the mighty Big Blues of Bluefield, 13-8, on O’Kelly Field, October 14. Bluefield kicked off to the Eagles’ five, where the ball was taken by Duckwilder, who was knocked out of bounds on the ten yard line. D. Mack then or dered Duckwilder to kick out of dan ger, but the punt was blocked with Bluefield recovering in the end zone by Jordan for a touchdown. The Eagles kicked off to Ferrell of Bluefield, who fumbled on his own 33 and lost the ball to the Eagles by recovery. From this point, the locals, after two complete passes from Mack to Green which put them on the one- yard line, went over for a touchdown. Mack, carrying the ball over, fum bled. The ball was covered by his alert teammate, Hall. Anders, giant tackle of the Eagles, made the extra point good by placement. During the second quarter, the Big Blues were kept in the hole by the Eagles’ fast charging line. Dick IMack’s punts were just short of sen sational, averaging SO to 60 yards a kick. Time after time the locals drove to the five-yard line, only to have Coach Rowland’s boys become a Maginot-Siegfried line, refusing to give in. Of the 88 yards gained by rushing, Dick Mack picked up 17 yards; Hall, 36; and the rest by W'il- liams, Johnson, and Lightner. Dick Mack completed seven passes out of the attempted 17 to pick up a total of 65 yards and kicked 13 punts for a total of 313 yards. The final score came when Peer man, right end, intercepted a pass from Bluefield’s Ferrell on the 20, shook off a would-be attacker, and ran across the goal line standing up. Pos. Bluefield N. C. C.

A. opened its new year with a capacity crowd and renewed inspiration. Under the direc tion of Dr. Heningburg, Mr. Wright, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Lee, and other mem bers of the faculty, the Y. M. C. A. has launched out into the deep to dis cover the vast treasures that lie across the sea of ambition. The first meeting was held Sunday evening, September 24, at six o’clock. At that time officers for the year were presented; namely: Robert Bond, president; Denison Garrett, vice-president; Roland L. Allison, secretary; Charles Lassiter, assistant secretary; James H.

A beneficial and inspiring speech was made by Dr. Heningburg. Afterwards the persons present were allowed to express themselves freely. On October IS, Dean Elder gave a timely address which was followed by considerable discussion. The Y. M. C. A. feels sure that it will rank among the most active or ganizations on the campus. An exten sive and active program has been ar ranged for the year. Already boasting a record membership, the “Y” has drawn into its organization many new members. Roland L. Allison, Reporter. Lucy: “What is a myth?” “A myth? Why—a—myth- female moth.” -is a Seriousness Seriousness among students is one of the finer qualities that we all can possess. We need neither just the kind of seriousness that will cause us to walk about with a long face or a sanctimonious expression, nor the kind of seriousness that will cause us to lose interest in anything that is not directly connected with our im mediate situation, nor the kind of se riousness that will make book-worms of us; but we need the kind of seri ousness that will cause us to realize that though young as we are, we are, after all, college students, moulding ourselves into what we will be when we leave as graduates to go into our various fields. We need the kind of seriousness that will cause us to be punctual in our attendance, not only to classes but to the various meetings that occur during the school session; the kind of seriousness that will cause us to ever strive to improve our char acter, our carriage, and our general appearance. We need the kind of se riousness that will not allow us to walk lazily along to chapel, giving observers the impression that we go there only because of restrictions. When we allow ourselves to size up the situation as it really is, we find that, considering all angles, we who are in college are a fortunate few. When we realize that only a very small percentage of all students who enter elementary school reach college and fewer still finish college, we can not help but see that we are very fortunate. If, then, we look still fur ther, we will also see that it has fallen our lot as college students to set the pace. Haskell Alexander Hudson.
