— The Revamped C.I.A.A. —
The Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, which had
its beginning in 1912, has been
revamped in more ways than
one. Not only has it increased
irom the original four-collegej
membership (Howard, Hampton,'
Lincoln U. and Virginia U.), to
the present 17-member organi
zation, but has been cited as one
of the nation’s most efficient
athletic conferences among
small colleges; it has produced
many All-American athletes;
and has been represented in na
tional competition by many of
its champions.
Colleges that are presently
members of the C.I.A.A. fol
low: A&T College in Greens

EAGLES’ FOOTBALL
SCHEDULE FOR ’60
North Carolina College, after
winning its season’s opener,
could very well be cited as the
“dark-horse” in the colleges’
bid for the C.I.A.A. football
championship laurels.
Although weak at the end
positions. Coach Riddick s tal
ented Eagles will be strong up
the middle as long as their pre
season All - American James
Brewington, 295-pound tackle,
and Luther Jeralds, 250-pound,
guard, stay in good playing con^
dition.
In the backfield, the Eagles’
running will be focused on pre
season All-American Rossie Bar-

field, 190-pound halfback; and
Reginald Pryor, the field gen-,
eral.
Here briefly is a run-down oS
other CIAA football teams who
will be 1960 foes of the Eagles.
MORGAN STATE
After having lost by retire
ment their coach, Eddie Hurt,
after 31 years of service, and
their 1959 backfield personnel,
the Morgan Bears, under new
coach Earl Banks, will be out to
better the one-sided record (1-7)
which still hangs on them from
last year.
The Bears will be host to NCC
on October 1, at Baltimore.
SAINT AUGUSTINE’S
The St. Aug. Falcons will be in
a re-building stage after losing
most of last year’s players via
graduation.
The Falcons had a profitably
season last year with a 7-2 rec
ord. They will meet NCC Oct.
8, here in Durham.
VIRGINIA STATE
A 47-0 first game licking by
Central State, should not be a
hindrance to Virginia having
good club this year.
Smarting a last seasons’ 7-2
record, the Trojans should be a;
top contender for the CIAA^
prize, with a veteran ball club
and the best all-around CIAA
quarterback in De Wayne Jeter.
NCC will travel to Petersburg
on October 5, for the football
encounter.
MARYLAND STATE
This year will be no exception
for the Hawks of Maryland
State — with potentially three
of the best running backs in the
CIAA in Dan Miller, Billy Gray
and 220-pound fullback Charlie
Holmes; the Hawks will agairv
have a good bail club and will
be a top contender for the
CIAA crown.
The Hawks will be entertained
by the Eagles on October 22 at
O’Kelly Field.
SHAW
With the same personnel as
last year, and a new coach in
Robert , “Stonewall” Jackson,
the Shaw Bears are out to a-
venge their 1-6-1 record of last
year. They should do it with the
conferences’ leading pass re
ceiver of the la,st two years in
Glen Knight.
October 29, Shaw entertains
North Carolina College Eagles
in Raleigh.
VIRGINIA UNION
Sportcasters have said, “With-i
out a doubt, this is the team to
watch.” The Union Panthers,
with the conference’s best all-i
around team, and with one of
the most dangerous runners in
the conference in 220-po\md
halfback Hezekiah Braxton, i^
definitely one of the top con-'
tenders for the CIAA crown.
North Carolina College will;
play host to Virginia Union on
November 12. Should be a good
one!
By Joseph A. Goad water
Lee Calhoun, the former North
Carolina College hurdler and
1956 Olympic gold medalist,
employed by Gary, Indiana’sf
recreation department, won his
second Olympic gold medal in
the 1960 Olympic games held at
Rome, Italy. The roars of the
enthused crowd went to
Calhoun as he stormed ahead o£
the pack to break the tape in
the Olympic time of 13.8
(thirteen and eight tenthsi
seconds) for the 110-meter high,
hurdles. The former North
Carolina College speedster
whipped Willie May and the)
Eastern Michigan flash Hayes
Jones along with Martin Lauer
of Germany in that order.
Formerly, the Indiana gazellq
had dipped into the tape equal
ling the world record time oi)
Germany’s Martin Lauer which
is 13.2 (thirteen and two-tenths
seconds). Calhoun tied thq
world mark at Bern, Switzer-,
land, August 21, 1960 in a pre-
A&T COLLEGE
The Aggies, defending CIAA
champions for the last two
years, are picked to repeat as
conference champs.
Although weak at quarter
back and guard, the Aggies
have 19 lettermen returning,
and two of the nation’s finest
running backs in the Floridai
Ponies, Gene Cambridge and
Joe Taylor. The quarterbacking
will be handled by talented but
inexperienced, James Mitchell,,
warm up, Olympic meet. The
United States track coaches
stated that the record perfor
mance definitely put Calhoun
at this time in the top favored
spot for an Olympic gold medal,,
which indeed came to pass.
Calhoun was coached by
North Carolina College’s Leroy
T. Walker who also assisted the
American high hurdlers at
Rome. Coach Walker is noted
internationally for his great
knowledge of hurdling and
track techniques.
Coach Leroy T. Walker and Lee
Calhoun agree that no one who
goes out for track merely for
the participation in some form
of athletics achieves any real
measure of success in the sport.
Complete dedication is the key
to eventual -victory and master
ing of track. Dedication means
unquestioning adherence to
training rules and the willing
ness to endure tremendous
physical exertion for what may
appear to be little gain.
Lee put himself through tre
mendous exertion and physical
agony in order to achieve the
fitness of technique which he
desired in hurdling competition.
Lee says that it was “pure tor
ture” day in and day out and
that a well-disciplined athletei
knows that athletic success is
“ninety-nine percent perspira
tion and one percent inspira
tion.”
Calhoun’s wife, Gwendolyn
Bannister, a former Eagle also,
accompanied Calhoun to Rome.
She was sponsored there by her
home town, Gary, Indiana.
