Page Six THE VOICE September, 1967 THE WORLD OF SPORTS Bronco Bill BY WILLIAM FLAKE Greetings fellow students, and teachers, we are now at the start of a new F.S.C. athletic year. It is this writer’s wish to brief you on all the sports activities of the on coming year. F.S.C. Football Outlook Good The Fayetteville State Bronco football team looks like a winner this year. The spirit of the team Is high with plenty of good coach ing. We have plenty of “beef” on the line and our backs are fast and experienced. Sam Jones, the captain and quarterback of the Broncos, says “the success of the team depends on the shaping up of the fresh man and the guidance of the up per class team members.” Edmund Tyrance, Co Captain says, “We’ve got a winner, the only two teams that should give us trouble are South Carolina State and Elizabeth City”. The half-backs, led by such speedy, shifty backs as Sam Jones, WILLIAM FLAKE Robert Allen, Ronnie Cox, Fran cis Armstrong, Danny MacMillan, Dwight Thomas, Macon Mahomes, Eugene Green and Melvin Lane, look sharp and are anxious to be gin the 1967 season. The linemen, especially the de fensive linemen, look ferocious this year, with a nucleus of seasoned veterans which centers around Ed mund Tyrance, George Lowery, Desmond Lario, Hyman Caldwell, Wilbur Jones, Charles Lane, Les ter Brown and Richard Mosley. The freshmen, however, should not be over looked with three- hundred and 15 lbs, Mike Cooper, Monroe Burke and Calvin Davis. Finally our line will have the back up power it needs. With all the enthusiasm and ef fort gyrating out there on the foot ball field, the F.S.C. Broncos should be way up on the C.I.A.A. football standings this year. Good luck Broncos! Lets be 8 and 0! Track fans of a generation ago, must be left completely agog at what present day cinder blazers are doing to what were once con sidered impressive world marks. Ryan and Chasers, with regular clocking under 3.56 for the mile, are perhaps most notable, yet 9.2’s and 9.3’s in the hundred are also quite common place. Ralph Boston, once all by himself, now face a quartet of long jumpers who, with each meet, steadfastly fly beyond twenty-six feet, while Lee Evans and Vince Matthews continue to make a mockery of the .46 quar ter mile with which Herb McKin ley once dazzled all trackdom. Mat thews the J .C. Smith phenom, finally caught up with Evans at the Pan-American games, going away from Evan’s last second lunge. .41 quarter mile relays used to be respectable, but are two sec onds off the present marks and the swift quartets have their eyes on .38 now. Pole vaulters, led by Bob Sea- gren, scale 17 feet almost without effort, and with the fiber glass Pole, they currently are aiming at 18 feet. Only in tennis, are the former greats still in great esteem, for it’s their form and finesse that count and not the breaking of records as the swimmers of today are abundantly doing also. Swimmers are doing practically the same things to once revered swim records, so much so that names like Crabbe and Weismuel- ler have been almost eliminated from the books.

It would be great for the game if the Red Soxs could grab the whole thing, after so long a fast. Too bad the Cubs couldn’t maintain their mid-sum mer momentum. There was even talk of a “Chicago series. Leo the lip, is after all quite a guy and has done wonders with the Chicubs. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Fayetteville State College 1967-68 With the beginning of a new academic year at FSC lets begin a bigger and better than ever new year in Intramural Athletics. In tramural Athletics is a phase of the total program sponsored by the Department of Physical Education. It is a program which provides the opportunity for voluntary athletic competition between student teams in various sports throughout the school year. These teams are org anized, coached and managed by students. Any group of students may organize a team and compete in Intramurals, however, some teams maintain their identity from year to year. Although, this in many ways is desirable, it is not required. The basic rules of eligibility are that you may not compete for more than one team during each school year; however, you may compete in as many sports for that team as you wish. You may not com pete in a sport in which you are listed as a varsity player at FSC Team rosters for each sport must be turned in by the posted deadline (check Intramural bulle tin board in the Gymnasium, Din ing Hall and Canteen daily). After the announced deadline, no further teams will be accepted for that sport, and no new names may be added to the roster. You may add new names to your roster for the next sport. The first Intramural sport for the 1967-68 year will be Flag Foot ball and the deadline for entries will be Wednesday, September 27, at 4 p.m. in my office in the Gym nasium. Please indicate on the ros ter the team manager with his dorm address or telephone num ber. There will be a team manag ers meeting that same night at 7:15 p.m. in the Gymnasium it is urgent that all attend. Other sports that will be offered during the year, if sufficient inter est is shown, are: cross country, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, archery, golf, horseshoes and hopefully swim ming. Please see me anytime con cerning any questions that you might have. JACK F. DAVIS Director of Intramurals Sport scribes are picking Notre Dame and Alabama as the one-two of collegiate football, giving the Spartans of Michigan State an out side chance because Bubber Smith and George Webster are gone. Spartan coaches are predicting a great season for Jimmy Raye, the Fayetteville lad, their scampering quarterback, who led them to their second straight Big Ten Title. Raye led the Big Ten with a 10.2 aver age gain per pass attempt and fin ished second to Purdue’s Bob Griese in average yards gained for both rushes and passes. The Packers are good, but they’re lucky too. I thought the Browns should have topped them in their August exhibition game. Greenbay won 30-21 but the Browns failed too score twice inside the three yard line and Groza missed two rather short field goals and one 47 yard attempt. They-the same sport writers keep debating whether Arnie Palmer or Jack Nicklaus is the world’s best goKer. Most of them seem to give Nicklaus the edge on the basis of money earned and the percentage of the times that each finished in the top five of all the tournaments each entered. I think a more ob jective analysis of actual perform ance would be something similar to Varden Trophy rating. That is, on an average of all the rounds played. Such a rating might re veal Billy Casper as the number one golfer. It is true that from a money-won point of view, Nicklaus has won more in the short time he has played than any other golf er, though Palmer is the all-time winner, while Casper is third. HUNCHBACKS By ARCHIE JOHNSON Observe the “hunch” backs of Fayetteville State College for the year ’67-68. No they aren’t the men from Notre Dame, nor a line of tackles and guards, but chessmen. Yes, F.S.C.’s chess club plans to confront stiff competition like Fort Bragg and Pope A.F.B. who have together some 100,000 selec- tives to choose from. Although small in number, our mighty “hunch” backs of F.S.C. have open ed their competitive doors to peri pheral colleges such as North Carolina, A&T University, Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and willing others. The first of these clashes will be at Fort Bragg in the near future, where the “hunch” backs antici pate straighting-out to “continu ous” victories. BEAT Winston-Salem FRANK McMILLAN How It Looks From Here By FRANKLIN McMILLAN Football once again is in the air. The Broncos are expected to improve on their last year’s record of 3 and 8. Coach Doub has had his players going through strenuous exercises getting them ready for the Broncos’ arch rival, the Win ston Salem Rams. Practice during the first week was sort of slow due to the fact that some of our first year men had to attend orien tation. In order to make up for this lag during orientation, Coach Doub has had his boys working out twice a day on occasions. In a modestly opti mistic statement, the Coach had this to say, “We have a pretty good nucleus from last year.” The veteran players have been showing great lead ership. We hope to have a very crowd-pleasing team.” With the support of the stu dent body, the Broncos could roll on to their best season in many a year.
