left guard for the North Caro- j
.lina State University Wolf- .
pack, addressed the annual

banquet here Wednesday
night. Evans, a former Ra
leigh high school gridder,
quoted Washington Redskin i
Coach Vince Lombardi in
telling the 22 elite prep play
ers, "Winning isnt every
thing, but the will to win is".
Pointing to the many ad
vantages football offers a
young man, Evans dwelled on
the physical fitness qualities
of the sport and its condition
ing the body for future years.
He said learning to compete
and developing a "competi
tive spirit" are important ad
vantages derived from foot
ball.
"Winning in life is one of
the most important things",
he said. Evans said he was not
pleased with this year's show
ing by the Wolfpack and told
the group of some personal
experiences during Che years
he has been a college player.
"It's easy to fail," he said,
"you pay a price for victory". |
He stressed hard work and
dedication as ways of obtain- j
ing success.
- Football teaches loyalty
and respect E?iu> told the
young men, chosen by their
coaches as the best in the
Conference. He said it also
helped develop a "great j
amount of determination."

Larry Paschall, dwarfed
even more than usual by the
big Baby Pirates, drove for
lay-up after lay-up to score
21 points. Paschall hit on 7 of
13 attempts from the floor
and seven of eleven from the
line. He had 17 of his total in
the first half.
George Bowden played the

the 'Canes offense. In addi
tion to his ball handling he
hit four clutch free throws In
the last four minutes when
the 'Canes went into a ball

they combined some accurate
shooting that enabled them
to open up a lead midway the
stanza. Wilson hit on '5 of 8
shots; Billy Spence hit 3 fqr
6; Richardson 2 for 4; and
Davis 3 for 8 for the best

With five minutes left in
the game Louisburg was
ahead 62-55 and with 4:00
showing on the clock it was
66-59. At the point the
'Canes went into a ball con
trol attack, shooting only
lay-ups and foul shots the rest
of the way. A couple of
missed at the line almost
proved costly, as the Baby
Bucs cut away at the lead and
narrowed the lead to one
point at 74-73 with 20 se
conds left to play. The 'Canes
worked through the ECU
zone press for an easy lay-up
