North Carolina College’s foot
ball crach, Herman Riddick, go
ing into the last week of annual
spring football drills hero at the
beginning of the week, bemoaning
the big problem facing him in re
placing the heavy loss his grid
Eagles sufl'ored in the gackfield
as a result of the loss of seniors
Clifton .lacksori, Willie Hayes, Ike
Gatling, Harold Joynor, and Lloyd
Eason, all outstanding backs in
the Eagles’ stellar grid play in
1958.
Practice sessions will cover a
period of twenty days, according
to the worried grid mentor dis-
cussin.i the sad fortune he expects
his grid machine to be in nextx
season.
The prime emphasis in the
spring drills will be placed on the
fundamentals of the game, and
developing someone of the inex
perienced newcomers to replace
those of the graduated ranks.
The reduction of fobtball schol
arships from 23 to 16 Is the main
reason for the shortage of ample
replacements among the Eagles'
ball-carrying corps. The reduction
of scholarships prevented the
Eagles' coaching staff from bring
ing in any top-flight frosh pros

place of the graduating senior
backs.

ican tackle for Riddick’s champion

the Eagles depleted quirtcrhack
corps. He wiH devote special at
tention to two prime candidates
in Reggie Pryor, a Irifrte-threat
specialist, and Nathan Ciiok, a
flawless field general.
The graying Eagle mentor oom-
plainer about the short peHml al-
loted for spring drills,.'saying that
“it is doubtful if we -will be able
to accomplish much in this period
of time, because of the limitiM)
time allowed, |ind because many
of the fellows have late afternoon
classes.”
"However,’ if we don’t lo.se any
of the boys we now have on the
squad for academic reosons, we
will have the nucleus of a sound
club, but we will not have that
depth that a contending club
needs in a race for champion.ship
honors,” muttered Riddick, as he
rambled on, discussing the sad
plight for his team next season.
All of the Eagles’ running backs
will play any spot in the backfield
except the qHOjrterback slot, with
Hazel Frepman, a 220, 5-8 barrel-
like fullback being the only x-
ception, according to the head
mentor at NCC. Freeman, a pow

considerable action in his initial
collegiate season, will be thfe no.
