Williams And Battle Receive
Invitation To Allstar Camp

The Rocky Mount Track Team
has had a difficult season.
Lacking talent in several areas,
the Thinclads have come in
second in two tri-meets and
have lost their remaining
matches.
Even with a poor year there
have been several individual
bright spots including Julius
Jones, Oie Osterkamp, David
Jones, Bob Harris, and Lloyd
Bynum.
Julius, an excellent distance
runner, has won the mile in 7 of
the 9 meets, while placing in the
other two. Oie Osterkamp, 880
yard runner, has consistently
had fine times winning the
event five times. David Jones,
another exceptional distance
man, has competed well in the
grueling two mile run finishing
first on several attempts. “Big
Bob” Harris, the shot put
specialist, has heaved the metal
ball far enough to gain him two
wins and the rest second or
third. Lloyd “Poochie” Bynum,
the fleet footed halfback for the
Gryphs, has performed superbly
in the 120 high hurdles, losing
only twice this year to Gryphon
opponents.
Jeffery (Fried) Battle and
Charles (Buck) Williams have
both been selected to attend the
B/C All Stars Summer Basket
ball Camp in Georgia, which is
by invitation only. Along with
this honor, they both were
selected All tournament during
the Christmas tournament and
made the first team. They both
made the first team All
Conference, Division I, All East
selected by The News and
Observer, and Buck was
selected to the first team All
State by the Greenville Daily
News.
When asked about his
feelings. Coach Rederick Hen
derson stated, “I’m really
thrilled to have been associated
with players of this caliber.
They are both major college
prospects. Buck has received
more publicity because he
attended the Sonny Hill
Basketball League in Philadel
phia, but with Jeffery participat
ing in the B/C All Stars summer
Basketball Camp in Georgia,
I’m sure he will receive as much
publicity as Buck has received
this year. This Camp is by
Invitation only. Buck will be
able to attend if he can find a
sponsor.”

The game with Roanoke

most exciting game yet played.

and John Exum broke a tie of 4
to 4 to lead with a winning score
of 5 to 4. However, the only two
conference games played have
been losses for the boys.
