Of Ollie Matson
CHICAGO, m.
Ollie 'Matson, the Chicago
Cardinals* fle€ft-footed-210 Ib.
pile driving half back, is fea
tured in the January EBONY.
Miatson, described by opposing
teams as a footbaU coach’s
dream player, has been an avid
grid fan since he was seven.
As a child in his native
Trinity, Texas, Ollie Genoa
Matson, got so he would roam
the sidelines, at Trinity High
School football games. "At
seven,'’ recalls his mother, “he
knew the game very well. None
of us ever dreamed we had a
clue to what he’d be as a man.”
In 1946, Mrs. Matson, a nur
sery school teacher, moved her
family to San Francisco, seek
ing “better conditions” all
around for her 14-year-old son
and his twin sister, Ocie. Ollie
enrolled in the George Wash
ington High School at the begin
ning of the 1946 fall semester
and hesitantly played basket
ball and baseball before going
out for footbaU. Ollie scored his
first high school touchdown in
1947 but had become nationally
famous earlier that year by
placing second to world quarter
mile champion Herb McKenley
with a 47.1 effort in the Pacific
Coast AAU’s 4^0-yard nm.
While in high school Matson
kept a level head although
George Washington High girls
formed "Matsonettes” fan club
for him. After graduating, the
school had a “Matson Day”, re
tired his jersey, and gilded his
track shoes. Colleges from all
over the country tried to get
Matson.
When he graduated from San
Francisco, he saw his jersey
again retired to the school tro
phy case. Once the professional
season is over, Ollie returns to
San Francisco U. to continue
work towards a master degree
in education.

Fayetteville Outlasts Hampton,
81-70 In Opener For Botti Fives
By way of opening the 1056-
57 cage season for both outfits,
the Fayetteville State Teachers
College “Broncos” outpassed If
not outclassed Captain Edwin
Amos and his Hampton Pirate
clan to write an 81-70 victory
in the score book Friday. But
it was one of those hammer and
4ongs affairs that was anybody’s
game right down to the final
whistle.
The Pirates grabbed the tip-
off, and presently their be-
speckled forward, Bland Brock-
enl)orough, rifled in an ice-
brealdng jump shot and the
fight was on. During the first
ten minutes of play, the lead
flipped to and fro in rapid suc
cession, but, gambling on a
change of pace. Bronco captain
“Ted” Bonner, John Morgan,
Roosevelt Wright, and Ronald
Evans mixed in the long ones
with the short ones to stay out
in front most of the first period
which closed on a 35-32 score
for the Fayetteville Teachers.
The tempo of the fray was
stepped up during the second
period when Hampton "blue
jackets” Harold Watson, How
ard Boone, and Captain Amos,
last year’s high-point man in
the CIAA loop, refused to stay
put.
