TOUCHDOWN BOUND—James Pullen, Chowan halfback, uses the blocking of Garry Tolly, No. 14, to good advantage as he races for “pay dirt” and a Chowan touchdown. The photo was snap ped during the Potomac State-Chowan game recently. Grayson Leads Braves to Win Over East Carolina Frosh, 27-20 GREENVILLE—Halfback Tom Grayson helped himself to 15 points as Chowan’s “Big Blue” took East Carolina's Frosh team 27-20. Chowan found that it could move the pigskin on most oc casions from the start. The Braves left the Baby Bucs from East Carolina simply puzzled. The Baby Bucs found the going rough as Chowan's mighty de fense held them down to 71 yards on the ground. Grayson, a 5-8, 170 lb. sopho more from Lexington, scored first for Chowan. He also put the first talley up for the game. He gathered in a pass from quarterback Clarence Murphy on the four yard line and took four giant steps to make it 6-0, Braves. With his usual stride he added the point after TD to give the Braves a 7-0 lead with just a minute and 43 seconds left to play in the first quarter. Moments later the Baby Bucs were forced to punt and Cary Slade charged through to block. With the speed of a bullet Slade had blocked the punt and the “Big Blue” were touchdown bound again. After a 15 yard penalty set the Braves back on E.C.F.’s 25 yard line the Braves hit pay dirt. Murphy found Grayson all alone in the end zone and fired another touchdown strike. Grayson then added another point after to make it 14-0 for the fired up Chowan Braves. The Baby Bucs finally made it in the fading minutes of the TOM GRAYSON first half. Tailback Neal Hughes threw a screen pass to block back James Snyder. Snyder sidestepped the Braves blockers and went 48 yards for the score. The scoreboard clock showed five minutes left to play in the first half. Those five minutes were filled with punts, as both teams bogged down for some defensive work. The Braves, who looked as if they were doing a war dance, left the field at halftime with a score of 14-7 in their favor. The third period started just as fast as the first. Joe Mann ing carried for eight yards, Gary Tolley swept right end for WAR DRUMS—George Ferguson, left, and Ronald Helms help to boost school spirit at every home grid game with their beating of the tom-toms. 33 yards and also caught a pass from Murphy for 27 yards. This series put the Blue's offensive unit on the Baby Bucs one yard line. The next play saw Joe Mann ing, a 5-9, 195 pounder from Greensboro, N.C., flash over the goal line for the score. Grayson then did what he does so well, make extra points, and Chowan had a 21-7 lead. The final Braves touchdown came on a beautiful bootleg keeper as quarterback Dave Kelly raced 69 yards down the sideline to score. It was the longest and most impressive run of the night for the Braves. The players said laiter that the play was called in the hud dle and that several key blocks thrown by the “Big Blue" made the run possible. At this point Coach James Garrison felt he could sit back and relax for a spell. The Braves second team was placed into action. The Baby Bucs quickly over powered the new Braves for a six pointer with the extra point. With this Garrison quickly rush ed his first team into action. But even this could not com pletely stop the fired up Baby Bucs. Late in the fourth period they got past the Blue's big line and scored their third touch down. The extra point was no good and the score stood in its final position, 27-20 Braves. As the Baby Bucs kicked off to Chowan after their last touch down they saw their chance of winning go "down the drain," The Braves took possession of the ball and held on moving to the Baby Bucs 47 yard line when time ran out. One of East Carolina's fans had this to say about the game, "Chowan believes that posses sion is nine-tenths of the law and they proved it here." We wonder if they didn't mean that possession is nine tenths of win ning the ball game. In an interview with Coach Garrison before the game h e made the observations that the Braves had to make big changes in their defense for the single wing attack commonly used by East Carolina. Garrison also pointed out the fact that due to inclement weather the Braves only saw ac tion outside one time the week before the game.
