Hampton
Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege pushed across a touchdown in
the final quarter and thp won
their gamble for a two point con
version to defeat homestanding
Hampton Institute 8-7.
The game was a tight defensive
battle which saw neither team able
to mount any serious threat to the
other’s goal other than the single
scoring drives of each.
Hampton drew first blood when
A1 Walden ran 25 yards with a
blocked Bronco aerial. Roy Holt’s
atteinpted pass was deflected by
John Green with 30 seconds in the
second quarter.
A1 Walker booted the extra point
for the home forces, giving them a
7-0 advantage at the half point.
Fayetteville’s Broncos struck for
their tally after a scoreless third
period in which each team was
completely bottled up by the op
posing defenses.
Taking over on their own 20-yard
stripe as a result of a Hampton
punt, the Broncos marched 80
yards for the score. The drive was
highlighted by the brilliant strategy
of quarter back Jesse Williams and
some fancy running by half backs
Sam Maxwell and Alexander Cole.
Maxwell ran 40 yards on a reverse
play for the Broncos’ lone touch
down.
The Broncos went for the winning
2 points and Lonnie Sharpe knifed
through the Hampton line with a
brilliant second effort.
The Broncos now have a 3-0 con
ference record and are 3-1 overall.

Homecoming
Classic
FSTC Ties ECTC
The Fayetteville State Teachers
College Broncos battled the Eliza
beth City Teachers College Pirates
to a 0-0 deadlock before a capa
city Homecoming crowd on Satur
day afternoon, November 3. Play
ing on a rain-drenched gridiron
undoubtedly contributed chiefly to
the inability of each team to score.
However, the amazing Broncos did
pose two very serious threats. The
first deep penetration of the Bron
cos was set up as the result of a
brilliant punt return by James Nor
man, whose carry placed the pig
skin on the Pirate two yard line.
But at this point misfortune beset
the Broncos as the rain-slicken pig
skin was fumbled over to Elizabeth
City. Fayetteville’s final serious
threat culminated on the six yard
line when he Broncos were unable
to pick up a first down in four at
tempts.

Panthers Upset
Broncos
A fiery eleven from Claflin Col
lege of Orangeburg, S. C., upended
the galloping Broncos on Saturday,
October 27, in a game that was
marred by a rash of penalties. The
Broncos, who were on the crest of
a four-game winning streak and
making a serious bid for the Cen
tral Intercollegiate Athletic Asso
ciation championship, suffered an
almost unbelievable 180 yards in
penalties. However, they lost no
ground in the standings for the
C.I.A.A. crown because this was a
non-conference affair.
Fayetteville received the open
ing kick-off and proceeded to
march straight down field for the
first tally of the afternoon. The
drive was culminated by a 25 yard
jaunt through the right side of the
Claflin line by James Norman who
ranks among the leaders in rush
ing in the conference. However,
the fighting Panthers from South
Carolina were not to be denied
this point through the remainder of
the game. First of all, Louis Gold
en engulfed a blocked Bronco punt
and raced 60 yards for a score.
William Booker then jogged the
pigskin into the end zone for a two
point conversion. Thus ended the
scoring for the first half.
During the third quarter, the
Panthers continued their on
slaught while the Broncos contin
ued to be harrassed by a multitude
of penalities. William Booker, who
probably carried the biggest Panth
er claw, drove through the Fayette
ville line for 9 yards and a touch
down to make the score 14 to 6.
Then, late in the third quarter, as
the Broncos began to flood the air
lanes with passes, James Barton
pounced upon a Bronco fumble in
the end-zone for the final tally of
the afternoon.
This defeat leaves the Broncos
still in contention for the C.I.A.A.
championship with a 4-0-0 record in
conference play and 4-2-0 overall.

Broncos Undefeated
In CIAA
The Fayetteville State Teachers
College Broncos, bouncing back
from a fair 1961-62 season, are un
defeated in the Centeral Intercol
legiate Athletic Association in five
decisions.
The Broncos began their win
ning ways with a 28-12 decision
over Livingstone CoUege. They
then went on a three-game winning
streak. The Broncos downed St.
Paul’s College 30-0, Hampton Insti
tute 8-7, and St. Augustine’s Col
lege 14-6. The entire Bronco team
contributed to these victories. But
names like linemen Johnny Lar-
gent, Hayes Streeter, Robert
Drake, William Baker, Jimmy Hill,
John Rooks, Willis McLeod, and
James Anderson kept popping up
as outstanding players. In the back-
field, Roy Holt, James Norman,
Sam Maxwell, Willie Sesscyns,
Jesse Williams, Alexander Cole,
and Lonnie Sharpe have done their
share in keeping the Broncos un
defeated.
The team now stands 4-0-1 in
conference play and 4-2-1 overall.
Their only losses have come from
the hands of South Carolina Area
Trade School and Claflin College.
The Broncos have two remaining
Conference games. On November
10, they travel to Winston-Salem
Teachers College and on Novem
ber 17, they close the 1962-63 sea
son against Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity in Charlotte.
Although you won’t be able to
travel with the team, show them
that you have confidence in them
by saying an encouraging word
now and then. -Walker
Do You
Care Enough
We cannot have an “I don’t
care” attitude and accomplish
much in life.
You may say, “I have no special
gift.” You have the greatest of
gifts —the gift of life, the gift of
intelligence. You have the gift of
love. Some persons skim over the
surface of life never caring about
anything. We are only half-alive,
and we are missing the meaning
of things.
Everyday, every hour each one
of us is using gifts of God, express
ing spiritual qualities. The very
fact that we live is our unspoken
acknowledgement of the first great
gift, the gift of life.
The next great gift that each of
us has is the power to think. We
neglect this gift when we think
aimlessly, when we let our think
ing go in negative directions, when
we scatter our thought forces in
gossip, in resentment and in ill
will. Care about what you think
and how you think.
The Quest
Mary Anne McLean
Mr. Otto L. M. Pharr, of the So
cial Science Department of our
College, addressed the student
body on October 30. His subject
was “The Quest for the Summum
Bonum” or The Quest for the High
est Good.” Mr. Pharr stated that
the sages have searched and are
still searching for the highest
good; the Greeks searched for a
philosophy of the summum bon
um; the Epicurians’ philosophy
was that pain and sorrow were the
summum bonum; the Hebrews’
idea was to “eat, drink, and be
merry, i'or tomorrow you may
die”; Socrates felt that when a
man knows himself, he is found-he
has reached the summum bonum
of life.
Jesus said, “Lose thyself;” who
soever loses his life for a good
cause will find it. There is no time
for boredom when one is lost in
his occupation. The Christian phi
losophy is that anyone who loses
himself in something that he feels
is his devotion, loses his life to
find it.
Mr. Pharr challenged the stu
dent body to follow the teachings
of Jesus and “lose thyself,” or-put-
ting it into the vernacular of the
average man- “Get lost” in your
work to enchance yourself and
mankind.

Broncos
A Contemporary
Music Corps
Displaying bandsmanship,
musicanship, showmanship, and
Color, the Bronco Marching Band
entertains its many peopled aud
ience. It is their aim to amuse, at
tract and to emit amazing mes
sages, this being done only through
communication. Performances by
the Broncos are designed to cap
tivate, to entrance, and to thrill.
The quick-step marching, flashing
turns, togetherness of corps and in
teresting formations are all as
surances of mass enjoyment.
The Broncos have given prefor-
mances of various types, inclusive
of all levels of understanding-(8
months-100 years). Presented were
“North Carolina,” depicting its
areas: Piedmont, Mountainous,
Coastal Plains. “Lovers Wonder
land” and “This is Fayetteville
State” were presented on High
School Day. The Broncos presented
“Observing the 86th Year” for
Homecoming.
Latent anxiety enfolds the prac
tice sessions as each member di
ligently prepares himself for a fu
ture engagement and for positions
of leadership in the world of tor-
moil and strife. Music is the key
note to universal understanding
and peace, the Broncos think. The
Mighty Bronco Marching Band
feels that the right notes, rhythm,
and phrase will lift local, state,
national and international haze.
How do you feel about it?

Mr. Thomas Baeote, Director
Another gift that each of us has
is the gift of love. We neglect this
gift that is in us when we do not
care enough to help others that are
less fortunate than we. We need to
care enough to stir up this gift, to
become radiating, loving, expres
sions.
“Neglect not the gift that is in
you” and you will surely be on the
road to a happier and more pros
perous life.

Dr. C. C. Thomas, Advisor
Finders Keepers
A coach of a service football
team found that, since all of his
players were grovra men, a num
ber had acquired the habit of
smoking. However, he and his staff
decided that, for public relations
purposes, the players should not
smoke in public. This point was
stressed to all team members.
Things went along fine until one
day the coach observed one of the
players leaving a building, smok
ing a cigarette. The player looked
up and, seeing the coach, dropped
the cigarette. Both were embar
rassed and the coach finally decid
ed there was nothing to do but to
confront the player with what he
had seen.
“Tom, is that your cigarette
back there on the sidewalk?” ask
ed the coach.
Tom, with a surprised look, turn
ed around, looked at the cigarette
and said, “Oh, no, coach, you can
have it, you saw it first!”
