PIRATES UPSET A. & T.
Broncos Outclassed
By Pirates
The Pirates, bedding for a tourna
ment berth, downed the Fayetteville
State Broncos 85-49.
The victory continued Elizabeth
City’s chances to make the CIAA
Tournament. Slow starting at the be
ginning, the Pirates couldn’t seem to
find that extra power to get going.
But, as the game progressed, Fayette
ville started looking for scoring
punches. The half ended with Eliza
beth City leading 36-23.
Elizabeth City was leading, yel
having a hard time finding that work
ability as a team. Fayetteville's task
was much more difficult as they
couldn’t find scoring punches or
workability. It was apparent that the
two teams were not at their best.
From a slow game to a slower game,
Elizabeth City was again to walk
off from Fayetteville in the latter
part of the game to win 85-49.
Scoring Johnson 19, Trotman and
Mayfield 15, Carson 14, Francis 8.
Mackey 6, Neal 5, Davis 4, Cox 2
and Sutton 1. For Fayetteville, Bibby
got 16 and Winters 14 points.
Brady Johnson, a 6' 5" Giant Dunks the ball against Norfolk State
E. C. Trips Shaw
After losing to Shaw earlier in the
season, the E. C. Pirates won an im
pressive 83-66 victory on Shaw’s home
court.
The combination of Johnson and
Trotman led the Pirates’ victory
battle. Shaw was out for its second
victory over the Pirates, but the
Pirates were seeking revenge. An ex
citing crowd of 600 at Shaw Univer
sity were cheering in the comer of
the Bears as the game began. After
i tip-top game for the first 14 minutes
in the first half, the Shaw Bears began
to fall behind 42-34.
Francis and Johnson, cleaning the
boards, began to give the team that
needed power in the second half.
Shaw rested her regulars with re
serves, and so did Coach Bobby
Vaughan, and the scoring continued.
The Pirates were holding an 8 to 10
lead. Trotman, Mayfield, Carson and
Sutton started finding their old form
as the Pirates rolled to an 83-66
victory.
Trotman scored 24; Johnson, 21;
Mayfield and Carson 10 each to
account for most of the scoring.
James poured in 37 points for the
losers.
Dancers Rehearsing
For Festival
The members of the College Mod
ern Dance Group under the direction
of Mrs. Valeria Vaughan have been
working very diligently, rehearsing
for the Fine Arts Festival. Many of
the dances are being taught by n-
bers of the Dance Group who have
taken the course in Modern Dancing.
The members feel that dancing is
a way of expressing the emotions.
They know that every movement of
the body — the sway of the hips,
the kicking of the legs or the moving
of the fingers — has a purpose
creating the mood of the dance.
Dancing is not only a way of
pressing the emotions; it is an ex
else; it is one of the best means to
develop the muscles, and develop
the physical beauty of the human
body. It also helps the dancer to
have poise and balance.
With these things in mind, the
members of the Dance Group
hoping that the Dance Recital this
year will surpass the performance of
1961.
Pirates Nip Union
The Pirates rallied in the second
half to defeat Virginia Union after
losing a 19-point lead.
Union, with a young but fast grow-
g team invaded the Pirates court
for victory. Gibbs started a scoring
attack for Union. Then Johnson and
Trotman steered the Pirates with 12
points each. As a nip and tuck, first
half ended with Elizabeth City holding
comfortable ten-point lead, 50-40.
Spencer Mayfield started the second
half off with a jump shot from the
key. Then, Union caught on fire as
the Pirates froze up for five minutes
and 20 seconds, and closed the gap.
Their lead of 19 points had been slic
ed to three. Tension hit the crowd, as
Willie Francis, a 6’6” sophomore from
Franklin, Virginia, hit the basket with
and broke the cold streak. Trot-
and Carson settled the team. The
Pirates began to play for the good and
easy layup shot and nipped the Vir
ginia Union Panthers 89-83.
Elizabeth City Runs
Over Norfolk State
'Trotman Scored 63"
Elizabeth City State Teachers Col
lege Pirates went on a scoring rampage
against the Norfolk State Spartans and
defeated the Spartans 121-82. Marvel-
Marvin Trotman thrilled the
crowed with his unusual display of
basketball, and tallied 63 points to
t a new C.I.A.A. record.
The Pirates led the game from the
irt, as they continually and con
sistently worked the ball into the
center of the Spartans’s defense. The
Pirates had a 23 to 13 lead in the first
five minutes of the game and posted a
53 to 44 lead at the end of the first
two periods.
At the beginning of the second two
periods the Spartans fought their way
back into the game. Carson, Johnson,
Francis, Mayfield and Trotman start
ed another scoring attack as the score
clock ticked away slowly. Johnson, a
phenomenal rebounder, along with
Francis, snatched rebounds which
set up fast breaks as Norfolk’s defense
started collapsing.
The defensive strategy, being very
effective for the Pirates all during the
game, became stabilized at this point.
This was the third victory of a three-
game winning streak for the Pirates.
Scoring—Trotman 63, Johnson 21,
Mayfield 12, Francis and Carson, each
courting for most of the points.
Hunter with 16 and Graham 13 led
the Spartans.
Sophomore sensation Willie Francis
and Marvelous Marvin Trotman team
ed up with 19 and 27 points respective
ly to upset the A&T “Aggies” of

record with a win over the “Pirates”,
The “Pirates” shooting for a possible
birth in the CIAA Tournament were

The game got underway as the
‘Aggies” took the opening rebound

got the “Pirates” back into the
game with his 2 points, and another
brilliant sophomore, Brady Johnson,
followed him with 2 more. The

away from the strong “Aggies” team
with 5 minutes and 4 seconds re
maining in the firt half, and led
45-32 at the half.
Marvin Trotman, all-CIA A, began
to find his own in the second half.
variety of passes and exquisite
ball-handling kept the spectators on
the edges of their seats. The “Aggies”
began to fight back with strategy and
height to overcome Bobby Vaughan’s
well-disciplined team. Basketball at its
best was being displayed. Sutton, Car-'
Mackey, Mayfield, Neal and
Davis were being shuffled in and out
of the “Pirates” line-up to keep a well
rested team on the court with the
fleet-footed “Aggies”. While both
teams were firing at the basket, the
clock was ticking away at a rapid pace.
One point separated the two teams in
the last minute and 35 seconds as the
lead exchanged 3 times. Trotman
and Mayfield scored key free-throws
give the “Pirates” an exciting 92-
89 victory as Trotman played in
his last game.
Trotman was honored after the
game by the President, Commissioner
of CIAA Conference, Coach, team
mates and friends in a warm and in
viting ceremony in his behalf.
Call to My Brother
Come, fellow students, let us go forth
into the field of knowledge.
Let us lodge there unafraid;
Let us learn of the learned;
Let us hear echoes of things they
said.
Yet, let us not be lax in perform
ance
Let us prepare a field or two,
so that for future generations,
They will serve as a lasting view.

Library to Have
Browsing Room
Plans are being made to convert the
West Conference Room in the G. R.

Choir Plans for
Spring Tour
The Elizabeth City State Teachers
College Choir is looking forward to
another glorious occasion, the spring
tour.
The Choir is now working hard to
build its repertoire for this tour.
The nuntbgrs being worked on are
very beautiful, although they are
somewhat difficult. Some of these
are; “Lord, Our Redeemer,” from
“The passion according to St. John”
by Johann Sebastian Bach; “Look to
this Day” by Leland B. Sateren; “God
is our Refuge” by L. Stanley Glarum;
“Spring” by Elward Grieg, arranged
by Paul Christiansen; “Who’ll Be A
Witness for My Lord?” arranged by
Jester Hairston; “Alleluia” by Ran
dall Thompson; “Lend Thine Ear to
My Prayer” by Archangelshy; “Holy
Lord God of Hosts” by Florence
Jolley; and “The Almighty” by Franz
Schubert.
The Choir will tour from April 30
until May 5, 1962. Much enthusiasm
exists among Choir members because
at this time engagements have been
made for Merry Hill. North Carolina;
Mount Olive, North Carolina; Wash
ington, D. C.; Newark, New Jersey;
Summit, New Jersey; and Brooklyn,
New York. Although the Choir has
these engagements, it anticipates hav
ing even more.
A success is one who decided to
succeed—and worked. A failure is one
who decided to succeed— and wished.
A decided failure is one who failed
to decide—and waited.
Ward
In a sense, nothing simply does it
self. Someone has to do everything
that is done .. . sooner or later some
one has to make final decisions. The
sincerest satisfactions in life come in
doing and not in dodging duty; in
meeting and solving problems, in fac
ing facts, in being a dependable per
son. And one of the great discoveries
in life is finding a dependable person.
