LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS—Coach Bill McCraw gives his starting line-up those important final instructions before their recent game with Old Dominion freshmen. Braves Drop Games to E.C., Old Dominion (Reprinted from The R-C Herald) The East Carolina Freshmen took advantage of their height and the use of the fast break to down the Chowan C o 11 e ge Braves Tuesday night, Decem ber 1, 95-81. This was the opening game of the 1964-65 season for both teams and according to Chowan Coach William McGraw the Braves looked pretty good in their first outing. The Braves were trailing at halftime, 36-27. McCraw stated that the ECC Freshmen were only leading by three points with less than two minutes to play in the first half but three quick baskets built the lead. John Jenkins, a 6-3 sopho more from Alexandria, Va., led the Chowan Braves in the scor ing department with 29 points. Mike Hynson added 12 points to aid the Braves’ scoring. McCraw said, “The fast break was what beat us along with the height advantage they had over us.” McCraw stated he was very impressed with the play of sub stitute guards, James Royster of Chesapeake, Va., and Thomas Grayson. Grayson was the Braves num ber one man in football this season. Old Dominion Frosh Win The Old Dominion Freshman fought off a stubborn Chowan team Thursday night, December 3 and went on to down the Bra ves, 87-82. The two teams battled through the first half with Old Dominion taking the lead at half time 35- 27. The Monarchs opened the sec ond half with some wild shooting and were leading the Braves late in the third period as they put on a full court press and cut the Old Dominion lead five points with alxiut 25 seconds left to be played in the game. The Braves comeback was not enough as the Monarchs stayed in the lead to win. Richard Boyce paved the way for the Old Dominion team in the scoring department with 29 points. Kenny Lanzone was the Monarchs ball hawk, and he dis played it well, threading the nets with 26 points, to add to the Monarch victory. John Jenkins and Linwood Par ker shared the scoring honors for the Chowan Braves each collecting 18 points. Tom Gray son aided the Braves comeback attempt with 12 and Mike Hyn son netted 11 points. Fourth Setback The Shipbuilders of the New port News Apprentice School handed the Chowan Braves their fourth setback December 11th at Newport News, 69-59. Chowan Coach William McCraw said that his boys were not hit ting as they missed 35 out of 43 field goal attempts in the first half, trailing 35-19. The Chowan scoring picked up some in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome the Shipbuilders’ lead. Mike Hynson who has been averaging 18 points a game for the Chowan team, led the team in the scoring division with 22 points. R. Dudley Receives High Honor The National Junior College Athletic Association has selected Ricky Dudley, sophomore tackle on the Chowan College football team, as one of the receipents of the annual “Lineman of the Year" Award. Dan Hodges, co captain 0 f the Ferrum Junior College team, will receive the other award, since the two tied in the NJCAA voting. Dudley, who stands 6’2” and weighs in at 220 lbs., was a main stay in the Brave line all year, and was one of the very few play ers who saw sixty minutes o f action during almost every game this year. Ricky played high school football for Southern Ala mance High School where he was an All-Conference tackle. Coach James Garrison speaks of the award winner as “the best blocker on the squad, and one of the best defensive tackles we have ever had on the Brave team.” The young gridder also has been selected to the All-Re gion Ten team and to the Sports- writers All-Region Ten team. Dudley, whose home is in Me- bane, has not decided upon his senior college, but sources have indicated that his choice lies with the University of Richmond, Guilford College, Elon College, or Appalachian State. REMEMBER! Keep in mind the dates of athle tic events occurring at Chowan. The players and coaches are al ways happy to have a large turnout of students to each event. A sports’ announcer used to say: “If you can’t participate • in sports, be one.” SPORTS TEEPEE By TOM FOSTER, Editor (Editor’s Note: For this issue of THE CHOWANIAN, Tom Hartwell has taken over the job of writing the Sports Tepee.) To be known as great, a school must possess many qualities. It must be known for its good student gov ernment; its fine professors; its program of extra curricular activities; its scholastic abilities, but most of all, its reputation involving sportsmanship. There are two ways students can lean towards in gaining a reputation for their school; bad and good sportsmanship. In referring to bad sportsmanship, I don’t mean a simple “boo”, or a name-calling incident at an athletic contest. There are many individuals who derive plea sure from destroying personal property at their rival's home stadium, or the school itself. The starting of fights . or causing widespread panic by tripping a false fire alarm are just a few incidents that “bad losers” encite. On the hand, a good sport is the favored type of in dividual who is willing to accept defeat graciously; He is the one who congratulates the winner, no matter how significant the contest may have been; he is the kind who knows also how to be a “good winner”, and not jeer the opponent over his victory. He is the kind of individual we are proud to have at Chowan College. ☆ ☆ Several years ago, when my interest in football be- g a n to broaden, I throughly enjoyed the little story which my father related to me about ole’ Notre Dame. It seems that back in the days of the fiery Knute Rocke, when Knute was coaching the feared fighting Irish, their luck ran out one Saturday afternoon. The first half of the game had been entirely detrimentel to the Irish offense, and their defensive unit seemed to be asleep on every play of the half. The Irish quarter back seemed to be nothing but a butterfingered idiot, and every fumble came up in the hands of the enemy. In other words, Notre Dame’s “fightin Irish” looked like a bunch of discouraged little-leaguers as they en tered the locker room after the first half. All players were on edge, for they expected the hot— tempered Knute to really lay on a pep talk that they would never forget. Much to their suprise, he just sat quietly looking into space, not saying a word to any one. This greatly puzzled the players, who sat and wondered what was causing Knute’s quietness. As the beginning of the second half drew near, Knute stood up, gazed around the room, and solemnly stated: “Well let’s go girls!” Irish tempers flared at the idea of being called girls. As a result, the Irishmen went back onto the field and proceeded to score six touchdowns, thereby winning the game. The amused Knute just shook his head and said: “I knew that statement would start them rolling.” FIGHT FOR REBOUND—Togie Payne, No. 22, and Lenwood Parker. No. 54. fight for the rebound during the Old Dominion- Chowan game recently. The Braves staged a late rally, but were defeated 87-82. 'FiKT 1 MV kW THEW I &CT MV mWWi, AND Wa I 6ET m PH- P. ?"
