Tennis Highlights Sports
— k
Ever since spring has been shin
ing on the tennis courts, students
have been waiting for a chance to
play. Nowf that their opportunity is
here, they are not wasting any
time. The veterans are already get
ting back into the swing of a
racket; beginners, who have been
receiving instructions during phys.
ed. classes, are keeping the farther
court filled with challenges. Spare
moments mean the same to many
students—a game of tennis.
Before long, after players have
achieved a good form, tournaments
will begin—boys’ and girls’ singles
first, then doubles and mixed. Al
ready much competition has been
spotted, enough to promise a well-
matched tournament.
Bring a racket on out and see for
yourself.
Blues Win Second Game
The Blues won the second game
by a score of 18-6. Petty passed to
James for one Blue touchdown, to
Davenport for another; and Petty
himself scored the last of the win
ners’ touchdowns on a short run.
The Reds made their only score on
a long pass from Stallings to
Lehew.
Third Game Hard Fought
The third ended in a scoreless
tie. Both teams missed numerous
opportunities to score. The Reds
twice had the ball on the Blues’ one-
yard line, but the^Blues’ defense
tightened each time. The Blues
came close to a touchdown in the
final quarter, but the Reds’ for
ward wall held fast.
Rapid Play Marks Fourth Game
In this game the ball changed
hands many times, with both
teams getting many bad breaks.
Both teams were scoreless until the
third quarter, when Petty inter
cepted a pass deep in Red terri
tory. The Reds’ defense collapsed,
allowing the Blues to score on a
short pass from Davenport to
Evans for the only score of the
game, the Blues winning, 6-0.
Reds Win Fifth Game
The next game saw the Reds
trounce the Blues 19-6. The Blues
scored first on a long run by Evans,
putting the Blues into a 6-0 lead.
This lead was short-lived, however,
for the Reds came back to tie the
score on a long pass from R. John
son to Lehew. Minutes later John
son again hit Lehew with a long
pass to put the Reds ahead, 12-6.
Ennis added another Red touch
down on an end run with Bell and
Stallings running interference. En
nis converted the extra point for
the final score of the tournament.
The football tournament was ab
breviated to allow the varsity bas
ketball team to start practice.
Intramural Basketball Returns
To Louisburg
Since football, intramural sports
have been replaced by intramurals.
After a few days’ practice the
Louisburg College Trojans played
the strong Bunn all-stars in the
first basketball game of the 1946
season.
The game was closely contested
throughout, with the score never
favoring either team by more than
four points. The Trojans scored
first with a crip shot by A. John
son. The score was soon tied, how
ever, and the game was nip and
tuck until the final period when,
with the score tied 21-all, Lehew
■dropped in a set shot to put the
Trojans ahead, 23-21. Playing a
tight defensive for the remainder
of the game, the Trojans emerged
victorious.
A. Johnson with 7 points, Lehew
with 6, and Petty with 4 led the
scoring for the Trojans. Ragland
.starred on defense.
Trojans Take on E.C.T.C.
The next game was with East
Carolina Teachers College, the first
intercollegiate game Louisburg
College had played since the Spring
of 1942, intercollegiate athletics
having been suspended the fall fol
lowing Pearl Harbor.
From the beginning, there was
little doubt as to the outcome of the
game. The Trojans fought their
boldest, but the game ended with
the E.C.T.C. Pirates’ scoring a de
cisive victory.
Lehew was best for the Trojans
with 6 points, followed by Petty
with 5 points, and A. Johnson
with 4.
Louisburg College Meets
Rocky Mount
Next the Trojans traveled to
Rocky Mount to meet the strong
Y.M.C.A. team of that city. The
score was 25 to 15 at the half, but
in the second half the Trojans came
within a few points of tying the
score; but in the final period the
Rocky Mount Club pulled away to
a safe lead; and, when the final
whistle blew, the Y.M.C.A. had a
40-28 victory.
A. Johnson was high man for the
evening with 13 points. Bonham
and Reeves looked good on defense
for the college team.
Trojans Win Close Game Over
Campbell
On the next game the Trojans
won an exciting game from Camp
bell College, 32-28. The play was
close throughout, the score being
tied six times during the contest.
After the first quarter neither team
led by more than three points. The
score in the final period was 28-all
until Davenport and A. Johnson
connected on successive long shots
to win the game.
A. Johnson with 13 points, and
Davenport with 7 led the Trojan
attack.

Offers Pins
The former award by the Mono
gram Club of large letters to those
students earning their required
points has just gone out of effect.
Beginning immediately, gold clasp
pins fronted with the letter “L”
and the inscription “Athletics” will
be awarded. Any student winning
this pin her first year has the op
portunity to earn a guard the next,
for additional outstanding partic
ipation in sports. Although pins
will be given this year, those sec-
ond-year students who have
“stayed with the ball” two whole
years will get their expected letters.
Cupid Has Nothing
On Us
"To begin with, all of you, boys and
girls, should know the parts of a bow
and arrow and the use of each. The
end of your bow with the trademarlc is
the head end with the looped string
for stringing and unstringing the how.
You must never pull the string back
and shoot the bow unless the arrow is
there, because the bow will break.
Now everyone watch while I show you
how to string the bow. It’s easy. . . .”
This goes on into an explanation of
how to shoot. Most important of all it
is to watch never to break or mess the
feathers on the arrow, or it will waver
and shoot crooked; also that caution
applies to picking up the arrows on
the ground. When pulling arrows out
of the target—it you hit it, which you
probably won’t—work with the arrow,
never yank it out.
0. K. Let’s see how many can make
a bull’s eye. Ready? Draw. Aim. Shoot.
Whiz. (The arrows fly high and low.
Four o’clock, blue—9 o’clock, black—
12 o’clock red. Good shooting! (Some
one’s bow makes a dull thump as an
arrow falls dead to the ground. She
had not drawn the bow far enough
and had given with her hand.) . . .
Has everyone shot twice? O. K. Find
your own arrows and bring them
back. ...

viola in order to be in an orchestra
and the trombone to be in a band.
Mr. Sheldon’s advice on teach
ing people to appreciate good
music was to play for them phono
graph recordings of Tchaikovsky
and transcriptions of Bach, orches
tral recordings of Beethoven’s 7th
or 9th, Chopin group, Mozart’s
Symphony in G Minor, and Tos
canini recordings, numbers more
easily felt and understood by
beginners.
Trojans traveled to Buie’s Creek
to meet Campbell College in a re
turn game. After a hard battle,
Louisburg was defeated 39-37.
The Trojans were defeated by
the mighty E.C.T.C. team in a re
turn game by a one-sided score.
Superior reserves led to Louis-
burg’s downfall.
The Rocky Mount Y.M.C.A. de
feated Louisburg 45-32. The Troj
ans played a good game in the first
half, but in the second half Rocky
Mount went on a scoring spree,
which left the Trojans without a
score for the third quarter and lit
tle better in the final period.
In the final game, the Bunn All-
Stars got revenge for an earlier
defeat at the hands of the Trojans.
