The 1956 football season got un
der way for the Broncos of FSTC
September 1. Forty-five candi
dates assembled and practiced
twice daily under Coaches W. A.
“Gus” Gaines and H. L. “Scotty”
Scott. After two weeks of prac
tice, the Broncos entered the ter
ritory of the Pirates of Hampton
Institute, Va., for the initial game
of the CIAA football season. The
Broncos left Hampton victorious,
19 to 6, as Buddy Gordon, Bobby
Wilson and Charles “Poke” Knight
scored the three touchdowns. The
entire Bronco team saw action.
On September 29, the Broncos
went to Winston-Salem Teachers
College for the second conference
game—a night game. The Rams
of Winston-Salem came out on top
19 to 6 as bad breaks and a mud
dy field handicapped the Bron
cos’ opportunities. James Ebron,
freshman quarterback, was the
sparkplug for the Broncos as he
led the team the entire length of
the field down to the five-yard
line, and halfback Buddy Gordon
plynged across for the lone touch-
.down.
On October 6, Fayetteville State
was guest of Elizabeth City Teach
ers College for a non-conference
game. Rainy weather was again
the dominant factor as the Pirates
won 20 to 0. The Pirates held full
charge of the game after the first
five minutes; the Broncos saw a
lot of defensive play and scoring
opportunities were few. Quarter
backs Curtis Battle and James Eb
ron tried vainly to score. The
Broncos’ forward line held the Pi
rate squad several times, but time
ly passes by ECTC proved success
ful.
With their CIAA record one and
one, Fayetteville went to St. Aug
ustine’s College of Raleigh for a
conference game, October 20. The
Bronco squad was snowed under
33 to 0 as the Falcons'ran and pass
ed at will. Fumbles and intercep
tions set up three of the Falcons’
five touchdowns. Jack Ealy did
some fine running, but penalties,
fumbles and poor line play pre
vented his yardage from proving
helpful. Quarterback James Eb
ron tried vainly to move his squad,
but fine defensive play of the Fal
cons was the poignant factor.
On Homecoming Day, Saturday,
October 27, the Broncos took the
field at Fayetteville Junior High
School bowl for their first home
game. The odds were in favor of
Fayetteville winning the game
against the Bisons of Howard Uni
versity, but the Bisons, even
though the underdog, soon took
New Faculty-Staff
At College This Year
There were not many changes in
faculty and staff personnel this
academic year. However, the few
replacements made brought to the
college outstanding people in their
chosen fields.
Miss Juletta D. Randolph, A. B.,
Howard University; M. A. Oberlin
College, Instructor in Art states—
“Of all the wonderful friends I’ve
had in my lifetime. I’ve met some
of the dearest ones here. Students,
let’s cherish these friends we’ve
made and make the best of all the
opportunities afforded. I intend to
work hard, play fair, and do the
best I can for those who have put
their faith in me and the little
have to offer.”
Mr. Odell Uzzell, B. S., Fayette
ville State Teachers College; M. A.
Ohio State University; doctoral
candidate, Ohio State University
philosophizes —“Predisposed judg
ment mirrors one side of the
screen. Only an open mind ilium
inates the whole.” Mr. Uzzell is
Dean of Men and instructor in the
Social Sciences.
Added to the teaching staff at
the Newbold La,boratory School on
the campus are Mrs. Alice B.
Brown, B. S., Virginia State Col
lege and M. A., Columbia Univer
sity; and Mrs. Eunice Ferguson,
B. S. Fayetteville State Teachers
College; M. A., University of
Pennsylvania.
Says Mrs. Ferguson—“Working
at the Newbold Laboratory School
of Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege is the culmination of several
objectives for me, but the major
one is to see what I can do in my
small way to make life more pleas
ant for the Alumni as they shall
return to their Alma Mater and
to make returning for them a more
desirable venture. It may never
happen and I may never find out,
but I am curious to know what
could actually happen to a person
to make him so readily forget the
undergraduate school that gave
him a start in life—regardless of
how it compares with the various
graduate schools around the na
tion. It isn’t nearly so important
‘what school you graduate from’
as is ’what you do with your life
afterwards.’ ”
Miss Carolyn H. McDew, A. B.,
Talladega College; M. A., Syra
cuse University, Acting Dean of
Women, says—“I am pleased to be
associated with the F.S.T.C. fam
ily. As part of a new administra
tion, I join with other administra
tors and the faculty to work for
improved conditions on the cam
pus and for the non-resident mem
bers of the college. We know that
the students will be patient with
us and give us full cooperation in
our program.”
New instructor in Science and
Mathematics and Assistant Foot
ball Coach is Mr. Joseph L.
Knuckles, B. S. Biology and M. S.
Zoology, North Carolina College at
Durham; doctoral candidate, Uni
versity of Connecticut.
charge. Fayetteville’s two touch
downs were made by passes from
Quarterback Ebron to Ends Char
les Knight and Chuck DeVaughn.
Halfback Jack Ealy led the Fay
etteville ground attack gaining 127
yards in 13 attempts with one
sprint of 55 yards. The Broncos’
defense weakened with the loss of
Fullback Roger Scales, who was
injured during the third quarter
of play.
Coach Joseph Knuckles has been
a great help in getting our team
toughened for play. This season
our team is composed chiefly of
freshmen, and it is our hope that
our record will improve as our
boys grow in experience.
Sophomore: “Don’t bother me.
I’m writing a letter to my girl.”
Junior: “Why are you writing so
slowly?”
Sophomore: “She can’t read very
fast.”
They're Out
By Edith Harrison
The Army, the Navy, and the Air
Force
Have taken some of our men, you
know;
For Uncle Sam has called the roll
And of course they had to go.
The wedding bells have pealed
once more
Which brought each groom a bride.
Thus, the continuing of school for
them
Was suddenly put aside.
The financial situation
Gets worse and worse each day,
“I can’t go back, I’ve got to work,”
I hear a few folks say.
However, there are those who say,
Well, school is not for me;
Maybe something else will turn up
someday,
If not. I’ll be what I’ll be.”
Those who are serving in the
Armed Forces are Joe Biggs, Al
fred Calendar, Franklin Crenshaw,
Ralph Burnette, Sylvester Dobson,
William Lewis, Trerle Stallings,
Willie Washington, Willie Wil
liams. Some of the students who
are married and did not return:
Fleming and Bettsy (Currie)
Floyd, Ronald and Florine (Wil
liams) Kilpatrick, Milton McDon
ald.
