Layton Says Chowan Will Retain Sports
‘ Chowan College will definite- —
ly have a team of inter-coUegiate
sports next year,” stated Mdvin
Lajton, coach. Layton said fiu’-
ther that he had some good pres
peots for nexit y^ar, •■‘SMiit of
these prospects will come as a
result of other junior colleges
abandoning intercollegiate sports
for the cctning year.”
“I have been pleased with the
penformance of my teams thus far
in the season,” said Layton, "and
I think that the boys have Ehown
good sportsmanship azid haTC
played goodj ball." In hi.s words of
praise for his teams he remarked
that the football and basketball
teams this year were one hundred
percent better than those of last
year. »»tl
Layton expressed optimism con
cerning this year’s basketball team
in stating that he had many po
tential players in addition to
many veterans who are back this
year.
"Spoi-ts lovers have shown great
interest and have supported the
teams well, and I hope that as
great an interest will be shown
ne.xt year,” the coach added.
