SPEAKING ABOUT SPORTS BY CIL RILEY Hello Fans. I’d like to apolo gize for my absence during the last two weeks but due to some enexpected difficulties, I could not avoid it We’ll just call this my annual vacation and imag ine that I'm rested and ready to go. I made it back just in time to congratulate our home town boys on their respective cham pionships. The Eagles have re peated as Visitation Champs of the CIAA while the Hornets have copped their seventh seventh straight Bull City tournament. NCC finished its regular sea son with a conference record of 18 wins and 2 losses. ’The two losses came at the hands of the Maryland State Hawks and the Bears of Morgan State- College. In the meantime at the Hill side High Gymnasium the Hor nets were defending their Bull City Championship successful ly. Both, boys and girls teams lived up to expectations by sweeping the laurels in both di visions. Congratulations, guys and gals: Keep up the good work. More Mantles ^— Participating in the Yankee’s Training Camp this year there will I>e two more hard* hitting fellows named Mantle. They are Ray qpd Roy, twin brothers of Yankee centerfielder, Micky. They have shown much promise in the past and if they continue who knows but that we’ll the Yanks with three brothers in the outfield. The CIAA tourney this year shapes up to be one of the most closely contested in its history. Any one of the top eight teams in the conference is capable of bumping each other off. All are strongr well balanced teams with plenty of height and, therefore, should offer some good basketball. By the time you read this, probably, only the championship game will re main. But go out and see that one, ^ if you can, and you will understand why I say good basketball. Spring Practice Coach Herman Riddick will be turning his eyes on football again in a couple of weeks to conduct spring drills and pass judgement on a host of fresh men hopefuls. Among them probably will be Robert John son, one of Hillside’s former stars, who will try to bolster Riddicks shallow forces at the end position. Coach Riddick plans to cap his spring practice this year with a game betweeif last year’s seniors and his present team. That should be some battle.
