SATPEDAY, APML % tm THE CAIOLDIA TmU jfjumnw* Dr. Thomas Henderson Re-Elected CIAA President SPEAKING IBOUI SPORTS BX CIL RILEY North Carolina College ex tended its welcome mat this week to a former student and basketball player, Charlie Har rison, who is now taking a break (from the rough grind of a stc^iuious regular season. An AiyAmerican. selection last Mar with Jthe championship Eagles, Harrison proved himself worthy of a position among NCC’s all time greats. Tex feels that he has gained very valuable experience from his first season with the “Fabu lous Trotters” and that he will profit by this experience. He will rejoin the team in Chicago on April 11, and will complete the season with the "A” team. Chip is Ready The word is going around the circuit very rapidly now that “Chip is Ready.*’ Just in case you fans don’t remember who “Chip" is. He is James Sligh of Winston-Salem, the sensational freshman at the 1953-64 Eagles. Sligh was one of the top play- makers in the C.I.A.A. that year but was ineligible for play this season due to scholastic difficulty. "Chip” has returned and overcome his* difficulty and is patiently waiting for next season. I am sure that the smile that rests on the face of Coach Floyd Brown’s face can mean only one thing-“Chip is Ready 1” Overlooked? This year, the top miler in the CIAA is known to be Andy Graham of NCC. Andy is a sen ior and captain of the track team, so this is last season. The top £igh school miler in the state last season was Charles Devaugh of Hillside. ^ a race between Graham and Devaugh last season, Devaugh finished a few strides behind Graham. De- vaugn’s best time to date has been 4:35, which isn’t bad for high school or the CIAA. It seemed very probably that De- vaugn was headed for NCC, but suddenly interest seemed to fadee, and he wound up at Fay etteville State Teachers College. Was he overlooked? That’s the way it looks to me. A WORD ABOUT SCOUTING BT HENBY W. GILLIS District Scoot Executive A Trained person is a well informed person on the subject that he or she is teaching.

HIBBERD'S FLOKISI, INC. 116 NOBTH COBCOBAN ST. DIAL 4925 Two Promising Pittsburgh Youngsters, Contenders For Berths With Famous Clowns, In Camp Here WINSTON-SALEM Two youngsters from Pitts burgh will get their big chance with the nationally famous In dianapolis Clowns this season and are now at the Fuiimakers’ training camp here working out daily in preparation for the Clowns’ opening game at Me morial Stadium, Greensboro, this coming Sunday afternoon, April 10, against Dick Lundy and his New York Black Yan kees’ popular aggregation. Billy ‘Beaver* Harris Jr., a nephew of Vic Harris, former star of the Homestead Grays, an all-around infielder, is look ing for a berth in the Clowns’ inner circle. He’s only 18, weighs 150 and stands 9’7”. Young Harris has plenty of speed, a good pair of hands and takes a healthy cut at the plate. He has played semi-pro ball in the Pittsburgh area. Donald Feabry, the other rookie working out with the club, is 19, weighs 170, stands 5’11” and only last year gradu ated from the Fifth Avenue High School. Also an infielder, Feabry specializes at short and second, and is a righthander all the way. He worked out with the Clowns last season for seve ral days and comes to the dab with all the promise of making the grade. The Clowns^ with their new and bigger-than-ever fun show, headed by King Tut, Spec Bebop and the Clowns’ Clown Ed Hamman, are out for a big season during 1955. The come dians will get an assist from their new first baseman, Jim “Natureboy” Williams, whose comedy at first closely resem bles that of Reetie ‘Goose Ta tum, who got his start as a first baseman for the Fuimiakers of baseball. Following their appearance at Greensboro, the Clowns are slated to take on the Statesville Eagles on Easter Monday after noon at 2:30 in Statesville, and that same night will cross bats with the Lenoir Indians at Le noir, giving fans of this area an Mcciting holiday two-game pre view of the 1955 edition of the four-time Ne^o American Lea-, gue champions.

Two of the items considered by the association were submit ted for approval by the Coun cil of CIAA Presidents. The first proposed that West Virginia State College be allowed to con tinue its membership in the CIAA while entering the West Virginia Conference. This pro posal was approved for a one year period while the CIAA studies “developments.** The proposal for West Vir ginia also included “other col leges similarly situated.” It was explained that with the coming of integration other colleges may face the situation of having to join regional conferences while desiring to maintain their CIAA affiliations.

It was submitted by the chairman of the Council, Dr. Martin-D. Jen kins of Morgan State College, Baltimore, Md., who asked the league to apprive the proposal “without amendments.” Dr Jen kins explained, however, that the Council would receive “ex ceptions’’ after approval of the requeste ceiling. A spirited discussion followed Dr. Jenkins’ remarks. In his presentation. Dr. Jenkins noted that the 'proposal had some drawbacks, but he thought it “would help equalize competi- tion between the conference’s small and large schools." He said he thought the plan would also effect economies in the schools. Several CIAA representatives said they had been instructed by their presidents to vote for the proposal, but some of them said they personally opposed the 36 player ceiling. As the rule now applies, a list of players must be submitted by October 1 1955, and these play ers are the only ones who will be eligible for competition. No allowance was made for vacan cies by injuries, failures, or transfers. CIAA President Henderson and a special conference com mittee are now planning to ap peal to the council for modifica tions of the ceiling as it is now. Approval of the ceiling was carried by a 12-6 vote. Colleges voting against the 36 player limitation plan included Fay etteville (NC) Teachers, Hamfh ton (Va.), Johnson C. Smith (NC), Virginia Union, Winston- Salem (NC) Teachers, and Lin coln (Pa.). Voting for the mea sure were Bluefield (W. Va.) State, Delaware State, Howard, Maryland State, Morgan State, North Carolina A and T, North Carolina College at Ouriiam, St. Augustine’s (NC), St. Paul’s Polytechriice Institute, Virginia State, and West Virginia State. Among the delegates register ing for the first three day’s sessions were four representing NCC. They were H. H. Riddicli, Floyd Brown, W. H. Robinson and I. G. Newton. A panel discussion on “Aid to Athletes” was hirid on Fri- day. Participants iwuded Dr. T. P. Fraser, >(Mom(an State, chairman; Presia^xu\ Martin D. Jenkins, Morgan; T^.E. Jones. St. Paul’s; Dr. E. L.
