Paced by Bob Slocum, veteran end,
and punter C. P. Harris, who averag
ed 44..5 yards, the Savannah State
College Tigers w'alloped Elizabeth
City 26-7 at Savannah State. Al
though Elizabeth City outrushed the
winners on the ground L52 to 126
yards, Savannah State “caught the
breaks” and emerged on the long end
of a one sided score. Halfback James
NJeal and fullback W. R. Johnson
romped easily through the visitors’
line almost at will.
Elizabeth City scored when quar-
erback Lee Booth recovered his own
'^umble on his 30 and ran down to
Savannah’s 10 yard stripe. Perry
Marsh, sophomore halfback, picked
ip eight yards in two trips as the
)all rested on the 2. On the very
lext play, Alexander Barksdale, fresh
man left half of Roanoke, Va., sliced
off left guard to hit paydirt. The con
version, by specialist Red Thompson,
w'as good.

sound of 19-0, by scoring two touch

Greer received the pigskin on the op
ponent’s 40 and romped to pay dirt.
With Al Smith, halfljack, Atlas
Davis at full and Alex Barksdale at
left half, the second touchdown was

Welcome Freshmen!!! While you
are attending Elizabeth City State
Teachers College, we hope that the
recreational and athletic games, which
you learned during your high school
days, will be a carry-over to this in
stitution. Many of you have been out
standing athletically. This columnist
interviewed Beatrice Kenan of Ken-
ansville. North Carolina, who won a
cup for being the most outstanding
basketball player in school during
1950. From Norfolk County High
School in Portsmouth, Virginia, has
come a sister duo in the person of
Louise and Elaine Davis. Louise was
the basketball so-captain while Elaine
won an award for being one of the
most outstanding players. Gloria
Cause of Our Lady of Victory High
School in Portsmouth, Virginia, lias
w'on a gold basketball and pin for
being one of the outstanding players
of her school.
For your recreation the school of
fers softball, basketball, volley ball
and badminton. Take advantage of
all of tliese opportunities.
Here’s hoping that these students
and other freshman whom I did not
interview will aid Elizabeth City
State Teachers College in carrying out
its recreational and athletic programs.
“Let the spirit hit you.”
The college cheering squad held a
pep rally in front of the gymnasium
on Wednesday night, September 25.
Not only w'ere the students there, but
members of the faculty also. The pur
pose of the rally was to let the team
know that we w'ere behind them, win
or lose.
Homecoming is No\'ember 3. and
the Pirates will meet Norfolk Division
of \'irginia State College.
We ha\'e a very good cheering
scjuad. \Miy not conu- o\it to the pep
rallies and see Mazor Slade, Inez
l^avis, Dimpli's \\’illiams, Dolly Best.
M'illie Ba\t('r and Jean W'hitfield.
Watch for tlu'm at the games.
Wei conic Freshmen!
Since State Teach('rs ColU'ge will
be \(HU' home for the next four years,
\v' lioiK' that \()u tak(> ad\antage of

extra-t'urrieula acti\'ities, both \arsity

of your growtli and de\elopm'nt can
be aeciuired through active participa
tion. I feel lliat we can count on \ our
