Murfreesboro. April 17 -- Clio-
wan College was deteateu by a
7-4 margin at the na;ids,of tlie
Presbyterian Junior Colle!;^ Car
dinals yesterday. The game was
played in a swift laUuig ram
from the third inning o.' \uitil the
end of the contest.*The game was
played at the college field in Mur
freesboro.
Chowan was the li/si, team to
score when the 'Braves did some
fancy bunting. R. D Belch was
the first hitter in the i»me lor
Chowai^as he received a fiCe pass
to first. He was followed by Bud-
iy Bass who in an atteir.jjt to
sacrifice him dow'n to saccncl got
an infield hit. Charles BUffaloe
followed with another hit lesult
ing from an attempte-i sacrifice.
Buff aloe was forced at sicond as
Belch scored the triSt tajly on
Vance Stewart's grounder to sec
ond. Then with men on first and
third Donald Hughes slastiEd a
sizzling line drive oyer second to
drive home the next t.vj Chow’an
tcores. Hughes advanced to second
on .Billy Cleiimier's , grou-.der to
first. Bill Thompson then drove
in what later proved o be Cho
wan's last tally with i fast-mov
ing drive to right field.
There was no more .‘coring by
either side until the rhi;:i mr.ing
when the entire PJC Uneu;i cime
to the plate and coniDu-.ecl three
hits and a like num’oe’ of walks
to produce three scores.
At this point of the game ram
halted action for a v,nu'>. ■'ihc two
teams played tight deiansive bail
for the next three iiiaing.s, until
I the first of the seveii'.h w hen
:PJC scored two more r'.in.s They
■ added two more talleys in tlie next
, frame. *
1 PJO scored the winning run in
the seventh when they used three
base-on-balls- and a Chowan er
ror to push over the tying and
winning , run.
Goodman struck out nine and
gave up only six hits in a haid
struggle against the ba’s cf PJC
and old man weather. His tnir-
teeil free tickets to first base,
however, proved his downfall.
Stone pitched a good game for
PJC giving' up only five hits and
ssuing only six 'ft'alks to take the
victory.
Bass led the Chouan batting
with 2 for 5. D3l Cerro and Mor
ton each got 2 for 3 lor the Card
inals.’
This leaves Chowan w.th a 1
won and 2 lost record. The PJC
team has a'2-2 record afler yes
terday’s game.
Chowan's hext game is agair,st
Fort Eustis on Friday night in a

A report from the Chowan base-
jball club is that Bill Thompson
is a substitute for short stop.
This isn’t Bill’s regular position.
I He is a second baseman. Maybe
:he should be tried there. He has
I had ex-perience, having four
.years in high school and two for
1 Suffolk in a semi-pro league. He
should be a super-sub!
I Red Browning is shewing his
wares these days with his golf
I club and that little ball. Maybe
I Red could swing a mean ball bat
too.
j Chciwan studenst have several
|0ccasi0ns to watch'the Murfrees-
|boro High team in action in as
I much as they are playing on the
icollege diamond. In'turn the col-
‘ lege uses the local' gym for bas-
I ketball.
It may be getting later than
ycu. think. Not many w'eeks long
er and those excellent tennis
courts aren’t seeing much use.
Weather is fine, too, fonhe sport.
Girls in the advanced tennis cla.-c.
Ann Jackson, Una Francis, and
Ruth Taylcr, oight to be giving
us non-weilders something to Icok
jat. Tor, seme of the girls report
that badminton is getting stale.
1 Outdoors isli't the only scene of
activity nowadays. The gym any
! afternoon or night is busy with
rhythms, hop, skip, and Jump as
'practice gees cn for May Day fes
tivities, and the program there
I seems to be shaping up into a
really good one.

The ^R Factor — Human Re
lations in Women's Athletii:s. The
convention was;'adjourned.
The AFCW will be held in Cali
fornia in 1953 and it is the hopes
ci; our WAI.A here that we will be
able to send at least one official i
delegate to the convention. '
The WAA has progressed rapid
ly this year and new that we have
become a me^.rtber of the national
organization we feel that we will
be able to progress even i.nore ra
pidly in .the years to come.
The AFCW has as its main pur
pose to further athletic activities
for college women by promoting a '
recreational progTam in which
men and wcmen may participate'
together and to^im.prove the skills
through interest and enjoyment
and to increase the number of
women participating in athletic
activities.
This is the purpose of the A. F.
C. W. and it is the purpose of the
Chowan WAA. \
From all reports Coach Keeter ‘
and WAA president Ellen Downs
found no fault with the national
WAA convention. This goes for
Elien in particular. as,.Miss Keet-
er was slowed down by mu'nps...
And we won’t use the trite phrase
had a swell time.
The baseball team which is
having a hard time keeping dates
iilled is an excellent outfit, bet
ter than the club last year, and
that was rated good. Two reasons
attribute to this: additional
catching and thrc^wing pracltice
in the kitchen at dishwashing
time, and no hair in the eyes. It
is reported that the team will no
longer be known as the Crt'W
boys.
