Page Four THE CHOWANIAN November 1955 mmm m i BRAVE BACK—Donnie Deaton of Deep Creek, Va., is one of the speedy scat backs that Coach Herb Appenzeller will throw against BuUis Prep this week-end. Deaton, a halfback, is playing his second year with the Braves. He acted as a team captain for the New Port News game. Appenzeller John Warren at right half and A1 Pierce at fullback. Warren, a 185-pound freshman from Rocky Mount, N.C., is the teams leading scorer. He has been described as “another Johnny Lattner,” because he is a knee-high, head-down, tackle- down, tackle- busting runner and a piie-em-up tackier. Chowan’s number two back- field unit consists of Harding Wood at quarterback, Don Dea ton, and A1 Vaughn, at halves, and Donnie Taylor at full. Wood is a 170-pound freshman from Ahoskie, N.C., Both halfbacks are fast, and receive well on pitchout plays. There’s depth and youth, as well as speed in the backfield, enough to carry the Braves to an average of better than 250 yards per game rushing. The big guns in the line are center Ben Rich, and tackle Ted Rollins. Rich has been terrific on de fense, a deadly one-on-one tack ier in crucial spots. The fine Brave’s forward wall has enough speed to make up for any mistakes they might make on first contact. Even big Ted RoUins, G loot 1 inch, 210- pound sophomore right tackle is one of the fastest men on the squad. At the other tackle is big Ed Meador of Victoria, Va., he weighs 190 pounds. At guard are Emmett Wad- ford of Cary, N. C., and Flet cher Baker of Kinston, N.C., Baker’s head-on crashes make him one of the most rugged tacklers on the team. At ends the Braves are blessed with plenty of talent. Jim Gra vely > sopliomore f^'om Norfolk, Va.,’ Paul Blake, from Wilson, N. C., Dick Padgett, from Ala bama, Coon Daniels from Cole- rain, Rob Roberts, of Kemps- ville, Va., Wade Salmon, from Raleigh, N.C., and Sam Cutler from Vanceboro, N.C. Daryl Allen from Durham, N.C., is a freshman center, who is a great linebacker, and down- field blocker. From all standpoints it looks as if the Braves are out for nat ional recognition. Coach Appenzeller has devel oped on the Chowan Campus a consuming pride in victory. Chowan will play their final home game of the season on November 19, against Ferrum College. Lets all go to the game and support a great team, the 1955 Chowan Braves, under the direction of Herb Appenzeller, and Asst. Coach Paul Davis, Four Players blocking is explosive and down- field he is always hurrying the secondary. Defensively, he's a sure tackier. Rollins weight is 210-pounds, and he stands 6 foot, 1 inch tall. Joe Dickerson has been slowed down by injuries, but when he’s right he really goes to tow n. He’s a tremendous linebacker, meeting the running plays with devastating tackles. Joe is a native of Cary N.C. A1 Pierce is probably the most underrated junior college back in the state. If there’s anything the husky, hardhitting back can’t do. Coach Appenzel ler hasn’t discovered it. Neither have the opponents. When you need yards and the going is rough. Pierce will put them down to pave the way. A1 is 190- student trainer, Walter Sykes, student manager, Harold Brown, and student manager, Ted Pul ley. Braves Bow To Bullis Prep 18-7 Silver Spring. Md. — Chowan lost to Bullis Prep here Satur day on a series of bad breaks, 18 to 7. The game was played under the free substitution rule. This proved very valuable to BuUis, as they used the two platoon system. Chowan used the same team both on offense and defense. T!ie Bullis school is a prepar atory school for the United States Naval Academy. Its out standing achievements earned for the school the title of “Naval Academy Prep.” Bullis’ big rival is the Naval Academy Plebes, to whom they lost this fall 6 to 0. Wade Salman kicked off for Chowan, Dick Donnell took the ball on his own 15 yard line for Bullis’ first touchdown of the game. The P.A.T. was no good and Bullis lead 6 to 0.

Chowan quickly snapped back when Joe Hockman kicked off for BuUis. Jack Crenshaw took the ball on his own ten yard line and returned it 20 yards. Warren made four yards over his right tackle, A1 Pierce picked up four through the middle. Warren made l-i for the Brave’s and a first and ten on their own id yard line. Harding Wood threw a four teen yard pass to Jim Gravely who carried the ball to Bullis’ three yard line, A five yard pen ality against the Braves moved the ball back to the eight yard line. A1 Vaughn scored the touch down on a pitchout from Herman Clark. Harding Wood added the P. A. T. The half ended Bullis 12 Chowan 7. Bullis got its final touchdown in the third period on a 15-yard run through the middle of the line by their fine quarterback, Joe Franchine. Bullis’ fullback, Jim Dunn, is one of the hardest runners that Chowan has faced this year.

Everyone has gone wild, sim ply wild over Warren, the knee- high, head-down, tackle-busting right halfback of Chowan’s powerful Braves who has lifted the Braves into state champion ship.

He leads the state junior college teams in scoring with 13 touch downs for a total of 78 point. J. T. Davis of Garner-Webb is second with 70 points. At six games the block busting bull dozer was averaging eight yards per carry with 707 yards on 91 tries. I Sm i n GREAT SCATBACK—This is A1 Vaughn of Ahoskie, fleet-footed halfback of the Braves, who would have been an All-Stater had freshmen been allowed such honors. He has scored TD’s on punt returns and his long runs have given him the nickname of Mr. “Boogyman.” There is no doubt that next year A1 will be on all the top lists as a halfback from wayback.
