Tuesday, October 31, 1967 THE CAMPUS ECHO Page Seven PLAY£R Tm HBkl By Lestee Pjerry Ronnie Upperman, 165-pound defensive back, has been chosen as Eagle of the Month for Oc tober. Against the Virginia State Trojans, Ronnie proved that the little man could hold his own in a game designed for the 200 pounder. Against the Trojans, who rank third in the nation in total offense, Ronnie picked up 3 interceptions to stave off defeat several times for the Eagles. Ronnie is a 20-year-old junior from Plainsfield, New Jersey and a graduate of Plainsfield High School. While attending high school he was an outstand ing track and football star, and k member of the Spanish Club. He had received a scholarship to attend Tennessee A. & I., but turned it down in order to be come an NCC Eagle which had been his desire since his junior year. Devoting most of his time to football here at NCC, Ron has very little time for other extra curricular activities and hobbies other than drawing which is his first love. Pursuing a major in Physical Education and a minor in Art, Ron says that his first choice ASO career is commer cial art, but that he would set tle for a coaching and teaching career. Asked if the team possessed the same spirit and desire to win as of last season, Ron made this comment: “The team defi nitely has the same desire and spirit as last season, but due to the injuries of key linemen and mistakes, we’ve just been un- NSF Grants To Be Considered Council will evaluate applica tions of all candidates.

In seconds the compu ter compares his qualifications against requirements of grants set up by foun dations, business, civic, fraternal, re ligious, and government organizations, and prints a personalized report to the student telling him where and when to apply for grants for which he qual ifies.

So Ron, from all of us here at the Echo, the best of every thing in all your future endeav ors, and keep up the good work! IPW Eagles Drop Two, Ties Virginia State Ornithologists say the Eagle is really a cowardly bird, but this football campaign the Mighty Eagles and Coach James Stevens have proven just the opposite. They have met some of the toughest opposition in and out of the ClAA, yet each week they appear to be deter mined to win and come up to the pre-season predictions of sports writers. Late September and early Oc tober has been most conducive to Eagle defeats. The Eagles’ performance during this period has shown some signs of regain ing the timing and sharp block ing that earned them a secoild place CIAA finish last season, but it has not been consistent enough to merit victory. To get a clearer illustration, let’s replay the last three games. Morgan State vs. N. C. College Two touchdowns in the last quarter plus nine points be fore intermission gave the de fending CIAA champions, Mor gan State, a 23-0 victory over the Eagles for their twenty- first win in a row. Morgan is much the same team that won the NCAA East Coast small college title last year in the Tangerine Bowl against West Chester College of Pennsylvania. The Bears first scored in the first quarter. The Eagles took a kick from Morgan’s Isaac Jack son on NCC’s one-yard line. On the third down, the Eagles still stood at the three-yard line, and Coach James Sevens sent punt specialist Thurman Jones in; Jones’ kick was blocked by Mor gan’s Carlon Dabney. The ball rolled into the end zone for a safety, giving the Bears a 2-0 lead. The Eagles’ only trip across midfield came in the first quar ter on a 27-yard pass from quar terback Herman Mathews to end Julian Martin. Morgan’s first touchdown came early in the second quar ter on a 52-yard pass play. Quarterback Daryl Johnson threw to end Alvin Mitchell for the score 9-0 for the Baltimore, Maryland invaders. The Eagles had the ball for only two plays in the third quarter. Morgan put together a string of 18 plays without scor ing before relinquishing the ball. The Eagles punted from their 15-yard line on the second down, and Morgan held the ball until the quarter ended with the pigskin on the NCC 25-yard line. Morgan advanced to NCC’s nine. A fourth down pass to All- American candidate Gerald See Sports Review, Page 8 The Air Force doesn't want to waste your Bachelorof Science Degree any more than you do. B. Sc. Those letters have an im pressive sound. But they won’t be so impressive if you get shunted off into some obscure corner of industry after you leave college. A forgotten man. You want activity. You want to get in there and show your stuff. All right. How do you propose to do it? If you join the United States Air Force you’ll become an expert fast. The Air Force is like that. They hand you a lot of responsibility fast. Through Officer Training School you get a chance to specialize where you want...in the forefront of modern science and technology. Suppose, for example, you wanted to become a pilot and serve as aircraft commander on airplane crews. You’d plan missions and insure that the aircraft is pre-flight- ed, inspected, loaded and equip ped for the assigned mission. You’ll be trained to fly exciting aircraft. Just examples. There are so many more. Wouldn't it be pretty nice to en joy officers’ pay and privileges? And serve your country, as well? Also, you get retirement benefits, 30 days’ paid vacation, medical and dental care. B. Sc. Very impressive letters. Now, do something with them. I UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Box A, Dept.
