STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER
“Krumm’s Korner
By “Doc” Crumm
Walter “Doc” Hurley, coach and
teacher in Norfolk County, Virginia
lias won tlie admiration of the bask
etball fans as an official. It is very
fortunate for us to have his service.
... In a recent conversation, Auce
Marble had this to say about Negro
Tennis Star, Althea Gibson: She has
one of the best services and overhand
sniasb shots that I have ever seen. . .
“Tlie owl without a vowel”—Mlvky
is the Name—School, Temple. How
would you pronounce it? . . . Coach
Jack Housen is one of the coolest
coaches that I have seen in a a long
lime. He worries about every game,
but you would never know it . . John
ny Bynum is an easy going lad. Many
opponents have found his defensive
work perplexing. Santiago Burrell is a
good sweeper of both backboards. . .
Comment . . . Thanks for your loy
al .support toward the basketball team.
Periods between halves are becoming
quite colorful— Mr. H. Leon Prather
ha.s the band on the ball. His arrange
ment of Stan Kenton’s “Intermission
Biff’ is great. Those of you in biding
sliould come to the games and get a
double treat— State whipped St. Paul
twice in two nights. (67-58 and 75-74)
• . . Some of the leading scorers in
the nation are students in North Car
olina. They are Dick Groat of Duke.
Sam Ranzino of N. C. Scare and Jim
Slaughter of S. L. State.

State Wins on Western
Jaunt 2-3; Henry, Tootle
and Davis Top Scorers
February 13th—State journeyed to
Fayetteville and lost 81-46, There has
been much controversy about the of
ficiating of this game. The score at
the half-way mark was .32-30. (Fay.)
What happened?
February 14th — State walloped
Livingstone to the tune of 89-56,
Henry collected 28, Tootle bagged 36,
and Captain Ernest Davis hit for 19
points to lead State’s attack. Captain
Massey scored ten field goals and six
charity shots to lead his team with 26,
February 16th — After playing a
dvdl first half (21-16), the Pirates
of S, T, C. gathered up steam
and thrashed Morristown college 55-
36. The boys were weary after trav
eling over the Western mountains of
Carolina and into Tennessee. Lack of
rest tells the reason why State got
only .55 points. Davis, Tootle, and
Henry scored 20, 9, and 8 points re
spectively.
A Special Note—Due to illness. At
las “Spud” Davis was unable to don
the blue and white on this tour.
(Coach Housen e.xpects Davis to re
turn and be in shax^e for later games.

home-coming. The visitors gathered
an early 11-1 lead, but Tootle, Henry,
and Davis found their eye for Eliz

termission 41-30.
Captain Davis Scores
The second half began with the Pi
rates controlling the center tap, Hen
ry, Tootle, and Davis scored quick
baskets to put Elizabeth City back in
to the game (41-36), Donnell Rogers, a
junior from Oxford, N, C,, who took
scoring honors for the night with 33
points, stretched Fayetteville’s lead to
49-39, Up to the last six minutes of
play, there was never more than a 10-
point stretch between the two teams.
At this point the “Broncos” began to
.semi-freeze the game, shooting only
when assured of shots. The big fac
tor in Elizabeth City’s defeat was
height. Co.sten and Rogers, both over
six feet totaled 53 points of Fayette
ville’s 77 points. Good defensive work
was turned in by Johnny Bynum, Ed
die Korneagy, and Santiago Burrell.
Captain Davis led the losers with 31
points.
