On the Hardwood
Basketball here at Louisburg
College is off to a flying start with
Coach Boyd and his hopefuls al
ready practicing daily downtown
in the Armory. There are thirty
men reporting daily for practice,
which has been in progress for
about three weeks. Coach Boyd is
concentrating on getting the boys
in shape for the actual game.
The team is composed mostly of
first-year men with Pervist Miles
and Everett Bryant the only ones
returning from the junior varsity.
Joe Thomas is the only letterman
returning from the varsity of last
year.
Expecting a strong team, Coach
Boyd arranged a rigid schedule for
this season. Two games are sched

and the same number with State’s
junior varsity. The schedule still
is incomplete; but some of the
teams L. C. will meet are E. M.
I., P. J. C., Oak Ridge M. I., Wil
mington J. C., Campbell, and pos
sibly the junior varsities of Wake
Forest and Duke. The first home
game is to be played on or about
Thanksgiving. Two games are
scheduled to be played before Dec.
1.
Some boys that show promise
for this year’s team are Everett
Bryant, Pittsboro; Sammy Cole
and Joe Evans, Elizabethtown;
Ernest Gaster, Jonesboro; William
Griffin, Cary; Sam Gunter, Ral
eigh; Robert Hill, Youngsville;
Sam Lehew, Rich Square; Bowen

the Bible; and about two years ago
the main answer was Shakespeare.
He thus cited the decreased aware
ness of the Bible. He ended by
saying that the students here mak
ing good means also Louisburg’s
making good.
Formal Induction of
Students and Tests
The formal induction of new
students into Louisburg College
was held, Mrs. Boyd presenting
the new students and Mr. Holton
leading them in the declaration of
loyalty.
Then came the event that stu
dents declared made them “nerv
ous”—the intelligence test and the
English placement test.
Reception, Registration,
Y-Functions, Classes
The day ended with a foi’mal
reception in the Faculty Parlor,
where the receiving line was com
posed of faculty members and the
presidents of the Men’s and Wom
en’s Student Councils. Punch and
cookies t were served by senior
women students in Main Social
Hall.
Wednesday’s activities began
with registration—an all-day af
fair of standing in line, waiting
around, and working on class
schedules. The day ended with
an evening function sponsored by
the Y—a stage entertainment of
seniors and juniors giving talent

Potatoes?
No, those lumpy looking burlap
sacks with legs were only new
Monogram Club members being
initiated at the hands of President
“Trick” Bryant and his assistants.
Although most observers comment
on the discomforts of wearing a
potato sack, the advisor of the
club. Coach Scott Boyd, insists,
“That ruff stuff makes ’em tuff.”
Whether scratched or toughened,
however, most “insiders” agree
that the initiation was a very
thorough affair.
Those receiving their baseball
letters were Clarence Burrow, Gil-
fredo Gonzalez, John Small, Allen
Stallings, William Steele, Paul
Stephenson, and Glenn Wilder. The
initiations had been postponed
from last spring.
Delta Psi Plans Program,

Everyone is invited to attend

New members were initiated in

secret initiation conducted by
Daphne Bryan, vice-president, as
sisted by Edwin Collins and Rose
mary Dawson, the program being
sponsored by Mrs. Tarpey, frater

where punch was served from a
table covered with lace cloth. The
bowl was set in a flower arrange

Mr. Bowers has receivel an in

Welcome by
Ministers, Officials
On Friday there was a program
in chapel when the local ministers
and officials of the town were in
troduced to the students and gave
words of welcome.
Big-Sister—Little-
Sister Parties
Friday night was big-sister—lit-
tle-sister night. The senior girls
entertained the junior girls in their
rooms, with from six to ten girls
in a room. The girls sat around
informally talking, and refresh
ments were served by the senior
girls.
“I think that learning to meet
new people is one of the most im
portant things that a student can
learn in college. He will remem
ber that lesson, and it will help
him, long after he has forgotten
the anatomy of the frog and other
things that he studied.”—John B.
Waddell, ’50.

LOUISBURG
THEATRE
On the Slanted Green
(Intramural Football)
On Oct. 19, the football season
at Louisburg College officially
opened with a crushing 4 to 0 de
feat of the Antelopes from Third
Franklin by the Bears from Third
Main.
The Bears were led in their
assault by Harry Tucker and Hav-
naer while Cannady, Lee and Small
performed Trojan work for the
Bears in the line. The Antelopes
did not show much in the way of a
scoring punch. This reporter was
informed that the Antelopes were
not at full strength and would im
prove later in the season. The vic
tory might prove costly to the
Bears, as they lost the service of
Havnear because of injured shoul
der.
The following day the Pirates
from the Fourth Main grabbed a
two-point lead in the opening min
utes of the game, but from there
on their attack stalled. The Wild
cats from Second Franklin then
came to life and at the end of the
game had clawed out a 27-2 vic
tory. The Wildcats led by Steele
and Howell in the backfield and
Stout, Brothers, Perkinson, Elliott,
Scott and Shambley in the line
were in full control of the game.
The main treats for the Pirates
were Stallings, Underwood, and
Fuller.
On Oct. 21, the two undefeated
teams from second Franklin and
third Main met head-on in a
bruising game. Because of ab
sentees, both captains agreed to
let each other use one player from
a different team. Although Lon
Williams played a nice game for
the Bears from Third Main, the
Wildcats received the better of the
bargain as Larry Winborne passed
for two touchdowns and played a
bang-up game on defense. The
Wildcats emerged from the game
undefeated by winning 19 to 2, but
suffered somewhat serious in
juries to several players. The in
jured players are Shambley, a bad
back; Steele, a sprained ankle;
Howell, a wrenched knee; and
Scott, a twisted thumb. The Bears
emerged from the game with only
one injured player Cannady an
outstanding linesman who received
a twisted ankle.
The four managers of the teams
are from different sections of the
state. The Fourth Main Pirates
are led by Mac Fuller a Raleigh
boy; the Third Main Bears are un
der direction of Harry Tucker
from Fair Bluff; the Antelopes
from Third Franklin are led by
Hunt, a Durham resident; and
the second Franklin Wildcats are
managed by Bill Brothers from
Elizabeth City.
All these games are played at

Dr. Winston Pearce
Visits College
Dr. Winston Pearce, minister of
the First Baptist church of Dur
ham, spoke at chapel hour, Oct. 7,
on "Life is a Three-Way Propo
sition.” He illustrated the idea by
the use of punctuation marks, sug
gesting life’s major questions, as
in the Bible, “Where art Thou?
Where is Thy brother?” Second
was the comma, signifying the
need for time to think of. God.
Third was the exclamation mark,
suggesting the need of enthusiasm
over friends, opportunities, and
especially the privilege of serving
in work for God.
The audience got a laugh at the
speaker’s joke on President Hol
ton, when Mr. Holton was once
making a speech: Seeing a boy and
girl on the back row paying more
attention to each other than to the
speaker, Mr. Holton said, “When
you two on the back row finish
flirting, I wish you would give me
a chance.”
3:30 p. m. and all students are
welcome to come and enjoy the
contests. The schedule is as fol-

After walking for about two

gan their journey back home.
They began laughing, talking, and
singing on the way back.
