This victory gave the Preach ers 8 wins against 4 defeats, faltered to Louisburg, Gamp bell, Wingate, Pfiffer. The Scotties took Wingate on Tues day, 14th, by 8 points. . The most thrilling game played by the Scots occurrec February 10, against Pfieffer. Jumping to an easy hal lead, the Scots hit from all angles. This lead, however, wa^ short lived as Pfieffer guards, too, hit from all angles. The Pfeiffer s Dalanick was the halfway n>ark found both teams tied in a hard fought was^riEhrbr fray, 24 to 24. With the game continuing each club held 24. the lead and then faltered. However, at games end the Pfieffer club took home a hard earned victory, nosing out the Reverends by 58-54.

Football letters were presented Thursday night, 1 Peiffer Ekes Victory Over Scots Pfeiffer Junior College edged the Scots 58-55 February 10, on two disputed goals made in tht third quarter. The game began A'lth a oaiig as P. J. C. jumped in- ,0 an eariy lead. Pfeiffer closeo ne gap quickly and the game w3l up and tuck irom there out. Witn ,wo minutes to play, the score was ,ied up at 50-50. Johnson foulea jut and the Scotties missed his -leight during the hectic last two .ninutes. Pfeiffer practically con- I'olled the rebounds during this time. The Scots were badly off on heir foul shots. This probably .aenat the difference in scores.

Jumping ahead and gazing the winter predicts a very successful season in baseball for the Scots. Return ing, we find Butter Snipes, Jerry Parrish, Goon Johnson, Jim Donnell, Tom Stewart, Bev McIntyre and D. S. Wood too, the new students present some outstanding baseball ability; J. W. Jones, Harley Pendergraft, and Clyde Parrish, to mention those who have had considerable baseball ex perience. SPORTS VIEW Oh! Hey gang, hey gang, gang, ' What’s the matter with Scotties? They are all right, who says so ? Everybody! (wrong, maybe it’s too much bas ketball in the.se last few weeks, , lor too much practice at the gym, ®^|or not keeping in trim. I believe . . p 't’s one of these for one team doesn’t start on the down grade without one good reason.

That’s right, nothing with the Scotties, especially the is over. basketball team we have' this year. They really started the season off with a bang and took confer ence win after win, it seemed that nothing this year in our confer ence could stop them! But the greatest deed the Scot ties performed was defeating Campbell, our arch rival, for the first time in two or three years, by an amazing score of 79-43. From there it looked as if the Scotties were really going on all the way. But, around January 20, the thing that all students fear, came —exams and that meant study and v.orry and it was hard on all here, especially the Scotties, for they had to pass nine hours for the semester to play ball. These exams seemed to have lowered a boom, the Scotties were still winning, but didn't look as impressive as they have during the first part of the season. Rumors were they had reached their peak during the early sea son, but you are wrongs—look around at other junior colleges and you’ll see they were faced with the same trout)le, not being as strong as they were at the be ginning of the year! But something is definitely' P. J. C. took a very hotly con tested game from a strong Win gate five Tuesday night. Feb. 14, by a score of 64-61. The game began slowly but picked up very fast. It was evenly fought through the entire contest. Wingate was ahead 34-30 at half-time, but the Presbyterians came on strong at the beginning of the second half and went ahead only to have it tied up again. Neither team could get more than four points ahead'^jjgfher he "xvas raising a beard until the Scots got hot and wentjpj. whether he had stuck his chin fourth place in the league, butphead 54-46 .vvith five minutes leftlj^ somebody’s can of brown shoe] are confident of pulling up in to play.

'their beards stayed right here at Neil Gordon, giant center of By HUGH THOMPSON It seems that toward the end )1 the first semester a new fad was started on the campus of P. r. C. It was none other than the .nanly art (?) of growing a beard. It started off as a very smalt thing, as fads will do, and then irew by leaps and bounds (prac tically inches to feet.) Trent Mc- Coll started the beard-growin; idea. It’s said that he cultivated one last yeai- also. Following close behind Trept was a group of ‘campus kids” with nothing to do ihan raise whiskers. They seem ed to go on the theory that since nobody but boys and teachers would see them they had nothing to lose. After that, one could see beards sprouting out all over the campus. The beards were divided, it ap peared, into several different groups. First, there was the Mohanimaden type, worn by Trent MvcColl; mustache and goatee connected at the side of the mouth (and in this case dyed black). ^ Second, there was the “Abe Lincoln” kind which adorned the faces of Roy Wilson, Hunter Henderlite and Henry Marlowe This type started where one side burn stopped and ran down around their chins back to their other sideburn. Third, was the goatee and mus tache which Langdon Henderlite cultivated, Langdon seemed to think this type was all right but made it awfully hard to eat spaghetti. Fourth, was the Gable Mus tache which Dan Walton wore. It seems Dan couldn’t decide wheth ei to grow a beard or remain clean shaven, so he compromLsed with the Gable. General opinion is that it looks a darn sight better on Clark. Finally, there was the type that was called “Attempt” worn by Bobby Laving. - One could not tell The Scotties of P. J. C. will ptay in the Eastern 2nd Sectional Bas ketball Tournament in Dunti on February 16. For the first time, four t^ms will be selected frtim the East to meet the Wf't;1err) powers at Shelby for the Sl»fe Tournament.
