The Braves lost to the Ljouisiburg College Fivs in their first game. Since that time' they have been showing considerable icnprov3ment on th'e court. The starting Uneup is still not defin ite, but the majority of the play ers get in every game. Layton has a little sweating to do this week while the boys thair trip. I ex pect a of his sweating was done on Monday night when the boys met the Louisburg five again, only this time it was on ths Louisburg court. Let’s hope these boys come back with some victories. —0— A joke around campus this week has b;en on the boy's coach, Mr. Layton. It seems that he got backiboard and blackboard a little mixed up. He's been telling C.Iecn- mJr to get the ball off the black board. (That might be a little hard for Clemmer, that is since he hasn’t an eraser.i —o— Keetar's girls team had playe«j. only one game up until they met the Murfreesboro All-S'tar, Girls team in the high school gym before the boys met the fore th'e boys m:t the Yellow Yellcw Jackets. This game was the one in which they played the Rebels of Franklin, another All- Star team. It was a long and hard fought game, but Chowan had a few bd breaks and the game end ed with the Rfebels having a six point lead. Betty Krider ;playied an outstanding game at g;uard. Boy, that girl could certainly in tercept thos'e drib'oles before you could say Jack Rabbit. Little Betty came to Chowan from Manteo where she was an AU- Conference Guard last year. Lona Worrell from Colerain also de serves miich credit fcr her out standing guarding. Fifteen points wfere made by EvangeUne Futrell from Severn. F\angelir.e puts so much English on that ball that it juow iiav«»a«v finas iis w'ay to the basket. Joyc; Joyner and Barbara Jean Archer Wore the next high est in points with thirteen and fourteen. ■—0— state College won the Dixie Classics this year. They seem to ccmpletily outclass the other col- few bad fcrea-ks and ths game Jnd- Duie Ins defeated them dwing one of State's off nights. State can't be expected to t; on all the tim'c, but they certainly are hav ing their ol'f nights far and and taw apart. Case really has a team that can put up good competion for ar.y college. He seems to be the best basketball coach in the statfe. La Salle gave £;aL>; its third de feat of the season Saturday night. Wake Porjst ar.d stats football players—scji* of them, we mean) —are running int-o troi'-le for in fraction cf ru''es. Four players from State's team have bwn sus pended ;however nons of them were first stringers. Action from Wak'i Forest's honor council is being awaited there in regard to the fate of some of its players for cheating. —0— If you followed the NOAA' meeting in N;w York this past week, ycu followed the hot debate over a f:w schools, mostly in Vir ginia, not living up to the ccdte and facing exipulsion from the associa tion. Th'i schools guilty cf break ing the code didn’t tack down.' and the schools no doubt guilty didn't hav-e the majority vote to expel .Thus, everything is as was before. —Q Lecn Hart, .f’^r fcof>all playef of Nc'.re Dame, h.’.s t;?n selected as the athJets :f th3 year fcr the nation. - iS Chowan Team Trims All-Stars Cfaowan College def^a-'.ted the •MurfrestcTO All-Stars last week 47-43 in a game which saw the' All-*B'tars hoH the l:ad for the first half.
