May 24, 1951 Nick’s Sports Nest By Joe Niauette With the coming of spring, base ball was ushered in with much en thusiasm. Here at the college Coach Boyd’s squad has been drilling reg ularly every afternoon and playing host to opposing teams generally every Saturday afternoon. Before we go probing into the wins-and-loss column concerning our team, let us touch lightly the players we have on the team. Starting with the mound staff, we have pitching for us Pat Jones, who has done commendably well. Pat pitched for us last year and was the mainspring on the pitching staff. Also, pitching for us is “Hooker” Hall, who is valuable to the team but has been suffer ing from a sore pitching arm and is not able to go the distance. J. B. Speight, Paul Stone round out the mound staff as relievers—the oth er half of the battery brings us to the catchers side of the team, where we see Glenn Lilley and Ted Hillsley fill out the duties there. Glenn has been catching quite accurately with Ted reliev ing him when necessary. At first base we have Bobby Godwin; sec ond base, Larry Stewart, who be sides occupying second base, has also fulfilled the duties of pitching when the going gets rough. Larry hit .321 for us last year, and he hopes to better that average this year. At shoi’tstop is Coleman Ays- cue, with Horace Baker at third base rounding out the infield. In the outfield. Nelson Best is in cen- terfield. Buck Fleming in left field and Lynn King in right field. All in all we have a young team, with not all the flaws ironed out yet; but with a few more games perfection will come nearer. In non-conference games Louis- burg took one from Mills High school, dropped one to the Hender son All-stars and in a return match took an easy win. In con ference play we have a 1 and 3 av erage, having dropped two to Oak Ridge and having made the win column by defeating the Camp bell College nine. Our team could be compared to the Boston Red Sox—in proportion, that is. The Red Sox have the power of DiMaggio, Williams, Doer, Dropo, Boundreau and Pes- “Hooker” Hall Stars In 1-0 Shutout The troubled arm of “'Hooker” Hall was very much in shape as he went the distance April 24 against P. J. C. pitching a bril liant ball game allowing only one hit, a scratch bunt that was hit accidentally. The lone tally for Louisburg came in the inning when Glenn Dil- ley scored after being put in and advanced by Larry Stewart’s sin gle or double. Coach Presents Letters to Athletes Coach Boyd presented school let ters to eligible athletes of both basketball and baseball at chapel May 15. He read verses from Psalm 138. Stating that the year had not been too successful as far as competitive sports were con cerned, he yet commended the play ers for keeping a level head when the chips were down; also, as he presented each letter, he comment ed on the player’s work. The following were awarded let ters for their work in basketball: Bobby Godwin, Buck Fleming, Bobby Linville, Jay Fogleman, Graham Kennedy, John Robert Nelson, Jimmy McPhail, Bobby Bridges, Bill Brogden, Glendel Stephenson, and Bryant Balkam. Players awarded letters for base ball were Pat Jones, Larry Stew art, Glenn Lilley, J. B. Speight, Lynn King, Nelson Best, Coleman Ayscue, Horace Baker, Harvey Johnson, Ted Hillsley, Joe South erland, Paul Stone, “Hooker” Hall, and Edward Wilkins. As a gesture of praise, Coach Boyd surprised the audience by presenting Ernie Daniels a letter as a token of appreciation of his work on the college radio station, raising the morale of the students. ky, but they don’t have the pitch ing to back them up, and we are in a way like them. We have Stew art, Ayscue, Godwin, King and Fleming for power; but we are deficient on the mound. We do have Pat Jones and “Hooker Hall” and we can’t deny that they are good pitchers, but it is extremely diffi cult for them to pitch all the games. They need a break, you Kiiow. That is one of the main reasons why we are in the loss column more than in the one we should be in. Gym Classes Organize Softball League Two of Coach Boyd’s gym class es have organized softball teams and started the sunset league. The games are always played at dusk, and the haze of the set ting sun is not the only dust kicked up. With all the expert players on the various teams, a game played with a final tally of 10-9 or 20-6 is not unusual. The combined errors for both teams for one game’s play run on about the aver age of forty errors per game. Quite an average, if I do say so myself! Seriously, though, the errors or runs scored are not what counts. The enjoyment with the relief from the steady routine of class work is invaluable in itself. It provides an outlet for the strain of mental work and affords one the opportun ity to release himself from tension that may arise from such. This being the last issue of Columns for this school year brings to a close my sports writing days at Louisburg. I hope you have en joyed reading materials written on this page as much as I have en joyed writing them for you. All good things must come to an end (that’s debatable), and this is it. Take care, good people, and happy sports news! Zoology Class Visits Museum The state museum in Raleigh was recently visited by a group of students from the two zoology classes of Miss Finster. The trip was made as a supple ment to current studies. Specific intei’est concerned itself with an observation of members of the ani mal kingdom. Special notice was taken of animals native to North Carolina: their appearance, habits and habitats. Also animal fossils of North Carolina were reviewed. The living specimens of fish and reptiles were viewed with prompt interest. An oddity noted was an albino mole. SCARRITT REPRESENTATIVE VISITS CAMPUS (Continued from page 1) Her appeal was emphasized by a showing of numerous color slides presenting the buildings, students, and experiences at Scarritt Col lege. These scenes suggested the broadly educational and cosmopoli tan nature of Scarritt life, with its dominant Christian emphasis. Also, the slides showed the varied types of service in which Scarritt graduates are found. At Friday chapel hour. Miss Ew ing spoke on open fields of service, emphasizing the Christian motive as giving meaning and satisfaction to effect to life and effort. Miss Bethea opened the service with thoughts on light from the Bible and poetry, introduced Miss Ewing, and closed with prayer. During her stay on the campus, Miss Ewing had personal confer ences with a number of students in terms of their interest in choice of a life work. Also, she met students of the Social and Relig ious Workers Club at the dinner hour Thursday in the Home Eco nomics Room.

Phone 505-1 Night 414-7 O'NEAL'S "YOUR DRUG STORE" Stewart Shines The boy from Benson is a re markable person. A great help to the baseball team, Larry has been a spark plug to the cause of the Louisburgers on the diamond, cap able in alm.ost all positions. Last year his steady position was the hot corner and he batted .381. This year Coach Boyd placed him at sec ond base but utilized him at va rious positions, mainly as an effec tive relief pitcher. Larry holds as a pitcher a 2-0 in the won-and- loss column for a 1.000 average. On occasions Coach Boyd has used Larry’s ability as switch hitter, and Larry has generally come across in the clutch. Highly regard ed as the morale booster of the team, he is well-liked by all the team. In other sports, as basketball, softball, and tennis, Larry possess es skill, tennis probably being his second love. Clean competition is law with Larry; and, when he indulges in sports, his heart and soul are right in there with him, guiding him in fine sportsmanship—win, lose, or draw. Graduating this year, Larry will mean a big loss for Louisburg and the baseball team; but it is certain that whoever is recipient of the gain from that loss will surely profit by Larry’s abilities. Y Sponsors Stunt Night A talent show, one of the most unusual programs staged at Louis burg College, was sponsored by the YW and YMCA on Thursday eve ning, March 8. Students from each floor in the dorms as well as mem bers of the faculty presented a skit. The prize, a free movie ticket to the participants, was awarded to Malone Long, Thelbert Whitt, Charles Creekmore, Grey Hunt, Alton Munn, Phil Johnson, John Paul Jones, and Freddy Alford who represented second floor Franklin. Their stunt was a fash ion show in a dress shop in Paris. Tlie faculty skit, not entered in the competition, was written by Mr. Bowers. The following mem bers of the faculty portrayed va rious personalities in telephone conversations overheard in a busy New York booth: Mrs. Huddy, a distraut young man who vainly sought to call the corner drug store; Miss Lawrence, a Texan who was worried about the welfare of his horse; Mrs. Tarpey, a gentlemen producer who wanted to advertise his latest production; Mrs. Leeper, a key-chain twirling lad; Miss Merritt, a book-laden professor who was nervously checking on plagiarism; Mr. Leeper, a graceful and charming French lady: Mr. Bowers, a flashy yoting girl who never ceased to chatter. Y PRESENTS RELIGIOUS PLAY (Continued from page 1) cia Randal’s leaving home in con fusion and disgust at her mother’s unscrupulous tactics. Some of the acting was com mented upon as of outstanding difficulty and achievement—of a complex and challenging type sel dom paralleled in local campus per formances. LOUISBURG HOME LAUNDRY Shirts Finished Mrs. Betty W. Strange Compliments of WHEELER'S BARBER SHOP Louisburg, N. C. LOUISBURG DRY CLEANERS PRESSING CLEANING ALTERING Page Three Louisburg Students Visit UNO Four Louisburg College Students —Joyce Boone, Nashville; Andra Hamilton, Durham; Thelbert Whitt, Roxboro; and Jimmy Wil lis, Davis, at the close of Spring Holidays attended a United Na tions seminar, visiting the Trus teeship and the Security Cotincil of the UNO. The seminar, including some 120 representatives from colleges and universities over the nation and sponsored by Vhe national YMCA and YWCA and the Inter collegiate Christian Council, was designed to introduce students to the UNO. A lecture on world gov ernment, one on UNESCO (which has more members than the U. N.) a panel discussion by inter national students revealing their thoughts about the United States, and personal and dinner contacts at a Chinese restaurant with au thorities; a lecture by Dr. Agar on the organization and function of the U. N. gave glimpses of the importance, purpose, and function of the U. N., together with the language complexity of the situation. One of the Louisburg group re marked: “I am just now coming to some important opinions about the U. N. . . . The organization is working on real problems . . . and it seems to be our hope for peace . . . They really do have a big job that people . . . seldom think exists. When we under stand the problems and how great they are, we see that the U. N. is doing much; it is making to ward united nations. . .” The already apportioned $106,- 000 by UNESCO for Koreans af ter the present crisis was cited. Also it was explained that the general public knows comparative ly little about the U. N. because of publicity control and the enter tainment motive of propaganda. Referring to hearing the Pakistan- Kashmir question discussed at the Security Council, one remarked “We then saw both sides.” Another remarked “We learned a lot about the U. N. that shows us they are doing- a good work . ■” The students visited the Indian delegation and heai-d such tangled questions as that of Pakistan and Kashmir discussed. Also they vis ited the Yugoslave delegation and the American Mission. Louisburg students remarked upon the efficient means of verify ing data in sessions as when ques tions arose and facts were immed iately produced from files of the department concerned. They spoke also of the use of ear phones for five-language interpertations and the impressiveness of International Hall, used for social contacts among U. N. delegates; also, they described the United Nations build ing at Lake Success as a marvel of spaciousness, beauty, and won der, with flags of the member na tions flying; and the national head quarters as decoratively magnifi cent. The seminar was directed by Miss Jimmy Woodard, of the Y na tional headquarters who has follow ed the development of the UNO since her witnessing its organiza tion in San Francisco in 1945. Besides the shirl of ideas and events connected with the UNO, the L. C. students reported a broaden ing experience with students from colleges over the nation, all senior colleges except Louisburg.
