THE CHOWANIAN, NOVEMBER 1958 TONY LEE, Sports Editor Braves Take Columbian Prep In Season^s Last Game, 16-12 The powerful Cadets of Colum-1 bian Prep, boasting a 7-1 record for the season, came to Mur freesboro Saturday night, Nov. 15, to do battle with a fired-up band of Chowan Braves, and returned to Washington on the short end of a 16-12 score. The good right arm of quar terback Murphy Smith and the trusty toe of Chowan’s ace kicker, Ray Cox, put the victory points on the scoreboard, but an alert, hard-charging Brave came in for a full share of credit for the win. The Cadets completely domi nated the first period of play. Chowan had the ball for only six offensive plays during the quarter and ended the first period with a minus rushing yardage. Paul Dusenberry’s 9 - y a r d plunge into the end zone climax ed a 57-yard sustained drive for Columbian’s first score. Camp bell ran the extra point and it appeared that the Cadets were going to turn the contest into a total rout. In the second quarter, how ever, the Braves came to life. ’They contained the Cadets deep in Cadet territory, and when Columbian quarterback Jimmy Stewart went back to punt. Brave linebacker Luby Boykin red-dogged through and blocked the kick. With the goal line just 27-yards away, the Indian smelled touch down. They got it, too, just three plays later when Murphy Smith tossed a 22-yard strike to his former high school teammate, Elton Roberson. Ray Cox tied it up at 7-7 with a perfect place ment. At the end of the half it was still 7-7, and also at the end of the third quarter, but the Braves had a first down on the Cadet 17-yard line when the quarter ended. Just seconds later with a fourth down situation on the Columbian six, Ray Cox entered the game with his favorite ball- holder, Jimmy Moy. The two former Craddock teammates came through. Cox’s field goal attempt split the uprights and gave the Braves a 10-7 margin. Their lead was short-lived. The Cadets put the ball in play from their own forty following the kickoff return, and covered the 60 yards to paydirt in noth ing flat. Chapman got 3 yards off tackle. Stewart connected with end Gary Kellner for 37 yards and a first down on the Indian twenty. Then, John Sullivan rambled 20 yards for the TD. Dusenberrv ran for the extra point and the score was Colum bian 14, Chowan 10. With about five minutes of playing time remaining, defen sive halfback Ken Wise filched one of quarterback Stewart’s aerial shorts and returned to the Chowan forty-seven. On a keeper play from that point, Murphy Smith moved the ball to the Cadet forty-nine. The next play started out exactly as the preceding one, but Smith completely fooled the Columbian defenders when he lofted a pass far down field. Co-captain Lanny Roof, all by himself at the Cadet 25-yard line, gathered in the toss and traveled unmolested into the end zone for the winning touch down. The Cadets stormed back and moved all the way to the Chowan 15-yard line. At that point the valiant Brave forward wall sav ed the day when they jarred the ball loose as the Cadet fullback went into the line. Co-captain Gary Henman pounced on the ball with only 35 seconds re maining and that was the ball game. The contest was a bruising battle between two well-coached teams and the spectators were treated to an evening of exciting football. The Braves were up for the contest and determined to bring a rather dismal season to a satisfactory climax. They did just that with a team effort which was a credit to them selves and to their coaches, Jim Garrison and Jerry Hawkins. The Football Squad of 1958; They Played Clean and Hard The football team at Chowan College has played all of its games this season. For the benefit of those who do not know the players, the Chowanian staff has decided to print the name, hometown, and other statistics of each. Pot. Name Weight Town B Jimmy Moy 140 Portsmouth, Va.

Basketball Schedule Coach—JAMES GARRISON Ass’t Coach—JERRY HAWKINS Trainer—EDDIE PARKER Manager—MICKY THOMAS T LAN! By TONY LEE I would like to recommend Dwight “Country” Compton to anyone who needs a “mohawk” haircut. It seems that when everyone was having their hair trimmed a few weeks ago, “Country” was the head barber. Quite a few of the students, in order to celebrate their hair cuts, decided to have a bonfire and a war dance. The place chosen was two of the speed humps on “Pine Drive”. There was a lot of school spirit displayed at the Home coming game with Wingate. De spite the loss the Braves suf fered, I think it was a well play ed game. Wingate just had too much bench strength. I would like to note that the Wingate “Bulldogs” were rated as tne number two junior college in the South. They had had only one touchdown scored against them all year, previous to the ■‘Braves” encounter. Football season is over, and the spotlight invaribly turns to basketball. Chowan’s chances of having a very fine season looks good. The Braves have nine lettermen returning. Reports have been good on the Fresh men “hoopsters” also. The football team has tried several things this year as means of winning a game. First they said that no one was going to shave until they won a game, and then they tried the hair cuts, but that was to no avail. I’m sure glad that the shaving gimmick worked. We sure could have had some Rip Van Winkles running around on the campus. That is if the girl friends didn’t put a stop to it first. The Braves of Chowan have been playing some mighty ex citing football this year, although their record doesn’t show it. The boys deserve a lot of credit for their efforts. There are eight home basket ball games scheduled this year. Be sure to come out and support the team. The school spirit was at its peak just prior to the Homecom ing game. We had two of the finest pep rallies that I have witnessed so far this year. The one during chapel was different and unique. Also, I think all of the students would like to thank Mr. Marable for his fine leader ship at the bonfire that same evening. Football season is over, and basketball is wending its way in to the sports highlight at Cho wan. The Braves seem to be in very good condition as far as return ing personnel is concerned. However the Braves have a pretty difficult grind ahead of them. They are playing as rough a schedule as any junior college in North Carolina. This years schedule is as fol lows: CHOWAN COLLEGE 1958 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place Nov. 28-29 Tournament at Gardner-Webb Dec. 5 E. M. I. Home Dec. 6 U. of Richmond J. V.

C. The veterans, who ended their careers before the home fans Saturday, November 15, are: backs. Co-captain Lanny Roof, Enfield; ends, Jerry Bean, High Point, “Sally” Thomasson, Clarksville, Va., and Elton Rob erson, Robersonville; tackles. Co-captain Joe Bland, William- ston, Tommy Daughtry, Princess Anne, Va., and Dwight “Coun try” Compton, Cedar Grove; guards, Co-captain Gary Hen man, Norfolk, and Bob Cotten, New Bern, center, Bobby Swine- ford, Disputanta, Va. One other senior performer, Weeksville’s fullback Clyde “Jughead” Morgan, suffered an injury in the East Carolina game which sidelined him for the re mainder of the season. The Braves record may not have seemed too impressive as far as wins and losses are con cerned — three wins and eight- losses—but the team played very good ball for the most part all season. The team made a very fine showing in upsetting the three teams they defeated, and played some very close ball with some of the other teams. A REAL EYE-CATCHER — With such pretty cheerleaders as Bonnie Tinkham of Alexandria, Va., Chowan's basketball team should be pepped up enough to win every game. Yes sir, this is youth at its very best. Go, Braves, Go!
