STATE Joe Person Now Recreatkm Supervisor In Lumberton LUMBERTON Joseph (Jolting Joe) Per son, standout gtiard on North Car9lina College's first CIAA championship football team of 1953, is a new recreation supervisor here with the City JOSEPH PERSON of Lumberton. He received the B.S. degree at NCC list June. An Army veteran and na tive of Raleigh, Person had his collegiate career interrup ted by a stint in the service. He returned to NCC in 1952 and 1953 and had his greatest year on the gridiron. He cap tained the Eagle gridders of Herman H. Riddick and was the standout offensive and de fensive star in a gruelling year's campaign. Team mates called iiim a “players’ player and coaches said he was “a dream player, fast, coopera tive, a splendid sport.'’ Person is the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Person, 2310 Wade Avenue, Raleigh. He- formerly was with Raleigjj’s Recreation unit. “We’re startii^ a long-term program to bring the top sports attraction to the home of the N.C. Eagles as we settle our present financial problems,” according to Floyd H. Brown, NCC’s new atiiletic director. In this connection, Brown said authorities at NCC “are open to invitations from the nation’s top competition in. ail sports.” He said NCC would consider invitations to post season footl>all games witiiin the provisions of the CIAA’s rulings on promotional events. Tliis was interpreted to mean tliat the Eagles are available to consider invitations to the Orange Blossom classic or similar post-season games. Official institutional and the CIAA approval would have to determine the Eagies’ accep ting any and ali bids. We’ve been fortunate in iprodiucing championship teams in football and basket ball for the past two years, but this fact alone has not kept us solvent financially. And although some of the “big name teams” have been on our schedules, financial support at our home games has been inadequate to “main tain national prestige at the expense of grassroots opera tion.” Brown’s discussion of NCC’s finances is expected to break a silence long self-imposed by some CIAA mentors. Ironi cally, NCC's national prestige in sports competition has spi ralled up while its finances have dropped to near-alarm ing proportions. Brown said of the situation: “We don’t know how long we can stay up with the leaders but we want to play the very best teams at any rate. We can’t sacrifice our total athletic program for that when no real money re sults. It takes money to run an athletic program...We have to make the iponey for the to tal program here vrtttaml amr aid materially from any other source. CMiaidering the money we have for ov 'fw- gram here 1 feel that w« da a very good Job.” Progress ia reported in ent- ting down a deficit ot mmt *2,500 in NCC’s athletic fi nances. Plana call for Ite te- augiu-ation of a State High School Day, State Band Day. a Mammoth Homeconiliig Program on October 29 with Shaw University, and a spe cial “Eagle Knot Hole Club" for children under 12 Other NCC events on tap in sports during the coming montiis are a Winter Sports Carnival scheduled for Febru ary 3 or 4, indoor tennis and track, swinuning, and otber forms of entertainment for the sports public.
