“Whi'n you >rot too old to play, sit back aiul toll th<
younjrsters how to ilo it.”
That may not always be true, but when you star
thumbinK throujrh the hiirh .■tchool coachinjt ranks you
are apt to find quite a few former kV athletes. These
men have earned the rijjht to lose their hair early, put on
a little Weight and iret ulcers: they're the "top kicks of
their outfit.”
A few people around here miirht recoirnize some of
the names, so we’ll delve into the alumni records and see
who we come up with.
Kelly Kyrum. ’."il, is at W'e.st Kdjfecombe: Jim I’eeb-
le.s, ’55, is Ueynolds Hijfh in Winston-Salem; Sparky Mc-
Caakell. ’50, Scotland Neck; Jay Clark, ’.">‘2, Mullens. S.
C.. I’at Patterson. ’50, Rocky Mount; J. I). Thorne, '-li),
^uth F'djrecombe; Jim Brown, ’19. Dunn; and Zero Holi
day, '51, Plymouth.
Koy Brown, '18, Smithfield; Wade Stephenson, ’51,
and Harold Bain, ’50, Selma; Brantley Aycock. '50, Sara
toga; Cherle.s Hester, '51, Wakelon; Leroy Pittman, ’53.
Grantham; Onnie Cockrell, '47, Hock Uidire; (JeorKe Spir-
tos, ’51, Corinth-Holder; and Howard Chapin, ’49, Bel-
haven.
We don’t mean to slijrht anyone, but it would he al
most impossible to name all of those who have made (jood
after leaving AC.

There is a big chunk of "something mis.sing” around
here between baseball .season and basketball’s opening
drills. That “something” is football, and most of us mi.ss
those Saturday encounters when suposedly intelligent col
lege men bang heads and break bones for a couple of
hours.
But that lack of football makes two or three fold the
importance of an interest in basketball on the AC(’ cam
pus.
The gym doors have almost had to be locked to
keep some of the eager sharpshooters out. And if you
stand around and talk long enough, the conversation will
drift onto ba.sketball.
It’s worth suffering through football season when you
can look forward to the Bulldogs’ court warfare.
Jack Underwood, who, in the pa.st, has plagued AC
with his basketball prowess, has enrolled at NC State.
Underwood, as many of you may remember, was one o(
the flashy "Crusaders” from Belmont Abbey College.
When marriage interrupted his college days at the west
ern North Carolina in.stitute. he decided to come east anil
join Everette Ca.se’s pack of wolves. We may hear from
him again, but he has done his la.st bit of damage against
the Bulldogs.
Women’s Athletics
Under New Program
The VVomrn'f Rocrpation Asso
ciation , which was Iho Women’s
Athletic Association until this year,
has mado some chanitos in its (tro*
gram Thr name, the handlxM>k,
and the point system are entirely
new this year.
The new handlxK>k5 Include pic
ture's. the constitution, the punM>se
of the oriJanlzation, and an Indi
vidual record for fcoring points.
Tlie WHA will welcome new
memlxT.s at the next meeting.
i{aridlxx>ks will lx» given out then.
A Weiner roast will Ik* giv<H) for
freshmen and transfer students
who are interested m joining th<‘
organization. However, any girl
student attending ACC is eligible
for memlx'rshlp.
InlramurilM Start
Intramurals will start soon; Vol>
lyball, which is the hrst intramural
s|x>rt on the schedule, will start
> OcUiber 10.
\ The gymnasium will be opi*n (or
(practice each night from 6 00 un
til 7 00. Any Individual or any team
. may get toK« ther for a practice
session at this time. *
The WHA wishes you a success
ful year of fun and relaxation
through the si>orts of its Intramural
program.
An intramural projrram should play an important
part in the colle^rt* life of both men and women here at
AC. This year's intramural proj^ram is biKK^i* than ever,
and it is hoped that more people than ever will partici
pate. Whether your team be a dorm team, a fraternity
team, a sorority team, or a town team, you should take
part.
Gymnasium To
Be Remodeled
The gymnasium is undergoing a
complete remodeling.
The whole inside has been torn
out and a new arrangement is be
ing set up. The new arrangement
will include visiting team quarters
with separate shower area, a room
ior basketball officials with sepa
rate shower area, an equipment
room for intramural and intercol
legiate athletics, a training room,
and a new setup for k>cker baskets
that will serve both girb and boy?
inphysical education classes The of
flees will be set up in the basement
for the instructors in physical edi>
cation.
Mr Cloyd. fyhysical c*ducation
director, has bi*en working aU
summer making the change to
meet the needs in the physical edu
cation and athletic program.s. Mr.
j Cloyd said. “The new setup will
be more convenient and much nicer
, than wiiat we had. I think it will
, po*?sibly fill our needs at the pre-
jsent time.”
The basement is being water
proofed. The gymnasium was iwt
i waterproofed when it was built
some twenty years ago. In order
! to stop water from running In. a
trench has to be dug around the
^ outside, two feet wide and eight
' feet deep. The outside wall was
plastered and then a heavy coat'
: ing of tar followed the plastering.
