*‘Bishop’' AJtaon, who ia t>eing

the reliable Joles Jackson are bent
npoB making the champioiship
trail a rocky one for the Union
“dream team.”
Thon^ the Pirates were low in
the conferenee ataoding last year,
their game with Union was not
decided until the last two minutes
of play, when Coach Hucles was
forced to pat in “Soupy” Camp
bell, who was suffering from the,
flu. “Soupy” took the situation in
Itand and Union went tm to win
by a narrow margin. The Pirates
are aware of the absence of
Campbell this year and they are
planning to revene the action of
the Panthers. The Hampton line
op will probably include Jackson
•nd Thompson, fc»warda; Shuff-
ord and AslttHi, guards; and
Allen center.
BUborj of Baaketball at
Hampton InstitTite
Basketball had its beginning at
Han^ton in 1912, the year the
CXAA waa oiiganized. During the
yaan between 1912 and 1940,
Hampton has won nine^ CIA4
asketbair Oian]^onship8.
The first championship was won
In 1912 «iien there were large
immber of Indian students at
Hampton. The ^r of that team
wag an Indian, George Ghirnoe,
who led the team in scoring and
who was laigely responsible fo»
the team’s winning the Ihampion-
•hip.
In 1936, Hampton won its last
basketball championship. Turning
back such outstanding teams «■
the Vii^ia Union Panthers, the
Virginia State Trojans, the Saint
Paul Tigers, the North Carolina
Eagles, the A and T Aggies, and
the Howard Bisons, the Hamptcni
Pirates basketball crew sailed to
another basketball championship.
One can hardly think of basket
ball at Hampton without thinking
of the stars of that great ’36
team, auch as Doc Kerry of Tulsa
Oklahoma, Slim Starks of Louis
ville, Larney Owens of Englewood
N. J., A1 Hamm of Cincinnati and
Chief Bender Hooker ^ Hampton
Virrinia.
Hampton holds the proud and
unique distinction of being the
first Kegro institution to play a
regular team from a white in«titu
tion. This happened in 1938 when
ELampton met the j^rooklyn Coll
ie team in New York. AJthough
the game over with a defeat for
Hampton on the courts, it was a
victory in hurdling the barrier of
racial prejudice.
The h^ad coach is Charles H.
Williams, who came to Hampton
as director of athletics in 1910.
He has coachiAl basketball at
Hampton since its inception. Mr.
Williams graduated from Hamp
ton in ’09 and since has done work
at Harvard Oollege and at the
YMCA College in Springfield,
Mass. He received the Master of
Arts degree frcm Harvard College
in 1930.
Assisting Mr. Williams is James
M. Oriffin, better known as
‘ Little Train’* Griffin ^ of foot
ball fame. Mr. Oriffin was an out
standing athlete while a student
at Hampton. He was All-CIA A

star forward on the basketball
team; also the lead off man on the
