FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1955 THE CAMPUS ECHO PAGE NINE FROM THE SIDELINES With CHUCK WOMACK Wm CUUCK I With the 1955 major league baseball season in. full blossom it appears that the Chicago Cubs, winner of the National League Grapefruit Circuit with a 15.7 record, appear ready to surprise someone this season. The Cubs for the last two years have surprised no one but the Pittsburgh Pirates who have finished directly under them for the Cellar. However I like them Bums. The Cincinna- |ti Reds are cur- Irently in the 1‘cellar but you I can take it from this cor- aer, they won’t I be there long, i Over in the I American Lea- gue it looks like Cleveland again with an experienced crop of pitchers and pressure batsmen. ORDERED GRmCIZED I have recently been criticiz ed for my mentioning alleged irregularities in events sponsor ed by the Athletic Committee. I expected to go under the ham mer, but accompanying the charges 1 expected to get a few explanations as well as tenta tive improvements. And it hap pened, the football schedule for 1955 was released, and though it is not sound policy to take an opponent lightly, I could take no other course. Maybe the committee is afraid to schedule more thain six games but even if they do, the six games should be drawing cards. But of the six teams on the slate, only Va. State is potentially a drawing card. The other drawing cards are away from home. They in- a and T College in Greensboro and The Maryland State Hawks in Princess Anne, Maryland, and who ever heard of playing St. Aug. and Shaw University in the same year Well, be that as it is, the Na tional Champions of 1954 xmder no circumstances (with such a schedule) should claim that title in 1955. EASTER LULL Approximately 85 men did not take advantage of the week long Easter break for several reasons. But for whatever their reasons, there was no reason for them to be denied recrea tional facilities. After obtaining admittance to one gymnasium, a high official gave them the ‘ole heave ho’ whereupon the men were left to invade the streets of Durham in search of activity. One official did di vorce himself from his family to remain with the men for two sessions. His responsibility was to keep everything orderly. Then came , Tuesday after rainy Easter Monday and the boys were given four softball gloves, a dead ball and a broken bat, and were told to ‘go for themselves.” What a throwback! George Lipscomb, veteran Durham Ram outfielder, is ex pected to barnstorm with a Ca nadian baseball club after he graduates this spring. The Rams, meanwhile, have acquir ed the services of Jim Brown and William Lowe, two former NCC baseballers. Coaich i Walker’s cindermen are expected to be the class of the Carolinas this season. As of this writing, they have won every event that they have competed in. That’s characteris tic of Walker. EUROPE FOR TEX Charles (Tex) Harrison the former Eagle All-American basketballer, currently with the Harlem Globetrotters, spent a week here recently enroute to his home in Houston, Texas. Tex is currently the College’s top public relation man, and from most people who have seen him from time to time, he is an A-1 salesman. He’s due to be in Europe this month. As a final item, this corner was shocked to hear of the re cent illness of Robert (Moody) Grant, a great Eagle tackle of a few years back, and currently a graduate student in recrea tion. The illness We are told will sideline Moody for ap proximately two months, though we sincerely hope this forecast is grossly exaggerated. Don’t forget to participate in the Chesterfield quiz in this issue.
