LOl 'W„, THE TROJAN “STUDENT PUBLICATION OP LOUISBURG COLUCGE” VOLUMN 1 OCTOBER 20, 1936 NUMBER 1 TROJANS LOSE OP ENER BY 13 TO 8 SCORE Meeting Norfolk Division of W. & M.-V. P. I. in their season opener, the Louisburg College Trojans lost a hard fought, thrill ing contest by a score of 13 to 8. The North Carolina club made a valiant effort to pull the game out of the fire in a crushing line at tack which advanced the ball to the six yard stripe in the closing minutes of the game. This pow erful running attack brought the crowd to their feet as the Trojans pressed onward from mid-fleld to within the very shadow of the Norfolk Division goal posts. How ever, two incomplete passes in the end zone stopped the offen sive, and the Louisburg surge fell a few yards short of the promised land as the final whistle blew. The Louisburg offensive click ed in the opening minutes of the game and resulted in a touchdown for Coach March’s eleven. Brinn, Trojan fullback, plunged over the line for the scoring play. How ard’s try for extra point was wide. Neither team could muster the offensive strength to score in the remaining part of the first quar ter. The second quarter also went down in the record book as scoreless. The Norfolk Division team was not to be denied in the third per iod, however, and used a neat passing offensive combined with ground gaining line plays to shove over two touchdowns and one extra point. Barnes, Norfolk halfback, ran over both scoring plays. “Wild Bill” Partin, Trojan guard, crashed through the Braves’ line in the last quarter to 'tackle Barnes behind his own goal for a safety and added two points to the Louisburg score. Norfolk Division kicked off from their own twenty yard line. Louis burg took the ball in mid-field and rushed it down field by a se ries of power plays. The win ning touchdown failed to mater ialize, however, and the game ended with Norfolk five points ahead of the scrapping Trojans. Partin stood out in the line for his brilliant work both on defense and oftense. Winbrow and Pen nington also rendered heads-up service in line play. Rip Tutor, ■West, and Brinn showed up well 100% OF STUDENT BODY ON DUTY WORK LIST Dr. T. C. Amick, Director of Labor, reported that every mem ber of the Student Body had sign ed up for Duty Work for the 1936-37 session of Louisburg Col lege.

SHANNONHOUSE WINS TITLE CONTEST "The Trojan” as suggested by Roger Shannonhouse was select ed as the name of the Louisburg College publication in a contest sponsored by the student paper to find a suitable title. A year's subscription was offered as a prize to the winning nomenclature. Ap proximately thirty names were suggested by members of the stu dent body, but Mr. Shannon- house’s choice was deemed best by the Staff. So, Roger, my boy—if you’ll drop around to the “editorial of fices” of “The Trojan”, the Staff will be delighted to present you with a year’s subscription, a leather medal, and a kiss on both of your down-covered cheeks tor your wonderful contribution in solving this puzzling situation.
