There are players on our team who are hardly known by our student body but are always out there giving their best. We would like to commend these for their spectacular play and we hope that it will be the main ob jective of each player to achieve both on the field and off the field. 1. Alfred Pearson, a small pack age of dynamite. 2. Leroy Williams, a tough custom er on defense. . Phil McCoy, big and tough. . Ralph Faulks, quiet but rugged. . Eugene Snipes, a freshman end, but a good one. . Isaac Robertson, good blocker. . Elwood Williams, a good line backer and a good tackier. . William Streeter, a punishing runner. . Jethro Williams, a sure tackier. . Randy Johnson, a good utility man. . Otha Sydnor, big and fast at fullback. St. Augustine's Defeats Us The Falcons won their homecoming game by defeating the Vikings 20-14 in a tightly played CIAA contest. The Vikings put together a strong offensive thrust in the late minutes of the first half to score. With just one minute remaining in the first half, Francis threw a seven-yard pass to Argle Whitfield for the score. The conversion attempt failed. In the second half of the game the Falcons came back strong to score two touchdowns. The Falcons re covered a Viking fumble on the Fal cons’ 28 yard-line. After a series of plays, the Falcons marched to the two-yard line from where Falcons’ quarterback Sinclair King scored. The conversion was good. The second Falcons touchdown came on an intercepted pass by Ozzie Dunn. Falcons’ captain who ran 45 yards to score. The conversion was good and the score stood at 14-6 Falcons. In the final quarter the Vikings threatened many times to score, but were stopped by the Falcons’ strong defensive line. The Falcons scored for the final time on a run by Mack after a 22 yard run by Jackson. The conversion failed. The Vikings scored in the last quar ter with about two minutes remain ing on a Francis to Chadwick pass connection. The conversion was suc cessful. Final Score; Falcons 20, Vikings 14.

This game ended the season for the Vikings. Their record for the season is 3 wins and 5 losses. The Broncos are 1-6 for the season. Each team played a tight defensive game, but the Vikings defense proved to be the better of the two. The Bron cos met a stone wall after having marched from the 15 yard-line of the Vikings to the 1 yard-line. Broncos fumbled and Odell Harris recovered for the Vikings. Neither team could get a strong offense moving in the first half, but the Vikings’ offense started clicking in the second half. Earl Francis, A1 Pearson, and El wood Williams tasted their last grid iron dust as brave Vikings. They have done a tremendous job in a number of games on defense and of fense. First Period: The Vikings’ Jackson kicked to the Broncos. The ball was run back to the 20 yard line. The first period was mostly a defensive period; however, the Broncos threatened to score on a fumble by Watson in Vik ing territory. Second Period: Watson ran bril liantly on a trap play from the Vik ings 20 yard line, but was called back because of a penalty. Halftime Score: Vikings 0; Broncos 0. Halftime Activities: “Miss State College,” Marcell Forbes, and her court were presented by President Ridley as was Fayetteville’s “Miss Homecoming,” Rosetta Rivers. Also presented to the fans was “Miss Alumni” (Mrs. Bernice Purdy Flood ’50), with Alumni Association Presi dent Isaac Battle ’46 doing the honors. The Fayetteville State Band pre sented “Great Songs from Broadway” (Thomas B. Bacote, director) and the Elizabeth City State Band also per formed (William H. Ryder, director). Each group played its school’s alma mater. Third Period: The Broncos kicked to the Vikings. Watson returned the kickoff. The Broncos gained posses- sesion of the ball and moved from the 15 yard line in Vikings territory. Bronco fullback, Johnson met a ■‘crossfire” of Vikings at the line for no gain. The Mighty Vikings took over from the 1 yard line and march ed 99 yards to score. An aerial from Francis to Chadwick, and the fancy running of fleetfooted Percy Watson set up the score. Francis confused the Broncos with a quarterback-keeper on fourth down and bulldozed his way in to score. The conversion attempt failed. Fourth Period: Both teams threaten ed to score, but each time the defense proved to be more powerful than the offensive. Final Score: Vikings 6; Broncos 0.

Record Argle Whitfield, a junior end on the Vikings football squad has broken the C.I.A.A. record of 31 pass re ceptions in a single season with 35 receptions and two touchdowns. The record was formerly held by Fletcher Snipes, former Viking end. Whitfield is a rangey 6’3” and 220- pound end. One of his most noted assets is his excellent pair of hands. He can also move after catching a pass and is a good defensive player. Look out for No. 82 next season. Salute to Al Kelley The Elizabeth City State College family saluted Alvin Kelly, who has for four years served as trainer of the football team. Kelly was saluted dur ing the halftime ceremonies of the Vikings homecoming game. Alvin Kelly, is a senior physical ed ucation major from Suffolk, Va. Since enrolling here in 1960, Kelly has done an excellent job in this capacity. The Compass Staff would like to congratulate Kelly for his loyal ser vice and all of us wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.
