p. J. C. Crushes Braves To Tune of 71-56 By Raymond Meiggs The Chowan Braves traveled to PJC on Thursday, February 8, to iilay tM Presbyterian Junior College team. It was a hard icught game from the beginning to the end. but Chowan got the worst end of the deal by a defeat of 71 to 56. At half time the score was 30 to 23 in favor of the Braves, but in the early minutes of the third quarter the reserve strength of the Presbyterian team began to shine over the Braves’ resis- tence. After the first ten min utes of the seccnd half, the PJC men had a safe lead over the Chowan team, and continued to hold this margin throughout the rest c‘f the game.

Chowan has only felt it light- the Murfreesboro Baptist Church ly, but it is noticeable around ;he campus. The losses from the basketball squad to Uncle Sam amount to tw-o. They are Sherald Ward and Harold Brown. Ath letes in other sports that have left chcwan for the service are Herman Hooker, Kenny Mizelle, and Jimmie Ccker. During the last semester a fa culty committee met and decid ed that all athletes would have to pass at least six hours in tr- 'dej- to play ball this semester. It will be changed to ten hours, starting next fall. This scliolastic standing is a standard thing among the members of the Junior College conference. We aU hope to see Chowan in the conference next year. —3 C— Last 'v’6ek the Columbia Blue really sh,:iwed up in the chapel program. After the scheduled speaker finished his talk. Rev. helped rack up quite a tew points for the Braves. He is also one of the high scorers for the CaD- wan team this season.

These scweaters and lettei-s were made possible by the com bined cooperation of the Athletic Association Qf Chowan College. —S C— It appears that seme football instructions 'will be indcors next year. Chowan has purchased a movie projector for the purpose offered a word of praise to the team and its coach from him self and the people of this com munity. The Chowan Braves had a fine season during ’50—twinning five out of six games it played.

When the boys paraded across the stage ui the "blue and white", the student body sang the Alma Mater. New Cheerleader The Chowan cheerleaders have recently elected a new cheerlead er, Sarah Perry cf Colerain, N. C. The main reason for electing a new cheerleader is that Bettye i Belch of Mackeys, N. C.. a former cheerleader, dropped from school | after the first semester. There-1 fore, Sarah was eletted to take Bettye’s place. Tile main reason for choosing Sarah is due to her athletic abi lity and her good school .'pirit. Lou Lou's Lead At present Lou Lou’s basket ball team is leading wath vic tories. The Bubbas and the Maid- ,ens, hcwever, are hoping change the standing before the tournament to be played March 1. The Maidens have felt the heaviest loss’ because three of the main forfwards are not back at school. Rosa Lane Barnes ceased to be a maiden altogether, and Kathryn Bryant and Bettye Belch withdrew to go to work. Buba’s team has lost its captain, Alberta Liverman.

The regular season for the Braves began with a game with the First Christian Church cf Norfolk, Virginia. In "this game the Braves showed a fighting spi rit and their old spirit of good sportsmanship. However, a lack C'f coordination as a unit, and good team work as a whole seem ed to be tlieir greatest disadvan tages. The Braves, handicapped by the lack cif a gjmnasium and other faclors, proved to be the victors of the game by a small margin. A game with Campbell College at Buois Creek was the second game of the season fOr the Cho wan Braves. The Campbell Ca- QI meli .proved to be too much for 2 I Coach Layton’s .squad.
