proved to be the most valuable
assets of the Winston-Salem
State College “Rams” said Coach
Clarence Gaines in an interview
last week.
This year’s team did not have
as much basketball savvy as pre

to win” said Coach Gaines. “The
way the Rams play, nobody hogs
the scoring and everybody is ex
pected to do his share and his
job.”
Gaines, better known as “Big-
house,” is one of the most re
spected basketball coaches in the
C.I.A.A. (Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association). His team
has participated in fifteen of the
19 C.I.A.A. tournaments and has
won six of them, taking the run-
ner-up spot four times. No other
coach has achieved such a
stronghold.
“With only the graduation of
three seniors, who were re
serves, the Rams should have
another good season:

Cleo Hill and Charlie Riley, and
now Blunt will be at his best
this year.
Willie Curry should move up
as a shooter and scorer. He had
a very good season with his scor
ing average of 18 points a game.
He is the second best scorer on
the team. “He is the best defen
sive man on our team,” said
Gaines. He is usually assigned to
guard the opposing team’s high
scorer. He is also co-captain.
Richard Glover is another one
of the fine Rams to look forward
to seeing this year. “He has the
said quickest hands of any kid I have
ever seen,” said Gaines. Glover,

Manager of Canteen
Talks To Student
Roxie Brady
The manager of the canteen is
Mr. R. F. J e n k i n s; assistant
manager is Mrs. Fulton.
The canteen opens at 8:00 a.m.
and closes at 6:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday; it opens on Sa
turday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00
p.m., and on Sunday from 5:00
until 8:00 p.m.
Mr. Jenkins said there have
been many changes, you have to
ask for your food at the window.
Windows have been built to
keep the students under control
while ordering food. There are
specials on foods everyday. He
wants more students to patron
ize the canteen everyday.
There are no further plans for
the canteen; it is not ready for
proper planning but he does
want a larger place so more food
can be prepared.
As far as foods are concerned
there will be a variety of sand
wiches but no plate lunches.
Mr. Jenkins likes business, not
because of its name but as a
means of livelihood.
Jackson Tells
Basketball Secrets
Uy Shirley Zollicoffer
“Height does not make a good
basketball player.” stated All-
American basketball star, Lu-
cious B. Jackson of Pan-Amer
ican College in an interview
■\Vednesday. “You must have
something else,” he stated.
Whatever the something else is
Jackson has it, because he is
the best big man in basketball.
Jackson is six-nine and weighs
243 pounds and a smooth opera
tor. He stated that his weight is
an advantage on the basketball
court, because it can be used to
push his opponents around on
the court.
In playing basketball, Jackson
uses his own approach. He plays
center and is excellent on re
bounds, but his best shots are at
the free throw line. The audi
ence often thinks that the free
throw line is all over the court,
because Jackson is making
points from every angle.
At the age of sixteen, I was
6 feet and clumsy. I never
dreamed that I would be able
to play basketball well,” stated
Jackson. What did he do to over
come his clumsiness and become
one of the most outstanding
players in small colleges and uni
versities?
Jackson has played with Pan-
American Team, the National
Small College Champions, three
years. He loves playing basket
ball, but his main purpose at
Pan-American College is to be
come a scholar.
“The Negro teams give us
more competition on the basket
ball court. They play to win,
and when they are on the court.
3. All equipment should be
checked before and after use.
4. Students who abuse furni
ture or property will be required
to pay for repairs or replace
ment.
5. Students are not to move or
rearrange furniture without the
custodian’s consent.
6. All botttles are to be return
ed to the racks immediatelj' aft
er use, and lunch bags are to be
put in the paper containers.
7. Students who smoke must
use ash trays. Young women are
permitted to smoke while seated.
8. A rack has been provided
for your coats, hats, books, and
umbrellas; please use it.
9. Profanity loud, rude and
boisterous play have no place in
the Student Lounge.
10. All lost and found articles
are to be reported to the custo
dian-keeper.
The Student Lounge is equip
ped with a television, games and
chairs for the students’ comfort
and enjoyment.
In the future the committee
hopes a suggestion box will be
placed in the lounge. It also
wants more equipment, more
games, and a built-in counter.
Clever recruiting, and almost
sure coaching by Gaines have
enabled the Rams to assemble a
great array of talent which will
enable the Rams to be in close
contention for the championship
for years to come.
Here is the rundown of this
year’s team by Coach Gaines.
Ted Blount is acknowledged as
the smoothest playmaker and
court magician of the C. I. A. A.
Blunt’s slight-of-hand is not re
stricted to his dribbling. He
leaves opposing guards open
mouthed in wonder when he
passes the ball; “one moment
Blunt has the ball in his hands,
then phoof, it’s gone, and some
other Ram has it,” said Gaines,
‘•Between his scoring and his
assistants. Blunt averages 25 or
30 points per game,” said Gaines,
Charlie Simmons, another fine
guard who has been playing in
the shadows of such greats as
they play their best,” said Jack
son,
“In playing basketball with an
integrated team, the only prob
lem is when we are traveling.
There are some places that are
not integrated, and it is a prob
lem finding a place to rest and
stay,” Jackson stated. Pan-Amer
ican College has been integrated
for many years.
Jackson has been offered a
contract with one of the best
professional teams in this coun
try. He is a native of Houston
Texas. In high school he played
two years of basketball, football,
and baseball. He attended Texas
Southern University one year.
Now, he is a senior at Pan-Amer
ican College, Edinburg, Texas.
He is majoring in Industrial Ed
ucation.
Rams Top St. Paul
Cole Freeman
Closing the 1963-64 season, the
Rams football squad defeated Parker,
the St. Paul Tigers in a rain-
soaked game. With undaunted
spirits, the Rams braved the
weather and gallantly closed
their season.
The Rams scored in the first
quarter on a run by Phil Davis,
after which Winston Mapp
caught a Millner pass for the
extra two points. In the second
quarter a St. Paul punt i\'as
blocked and Ben Morrison recov
ered in the end zone for a safety.
This gave the Rams a 10-0 half-
time lead.
Relentlessly, the Rams march
ed onward and scored again in
the fourth quarter. John “Night-
train” Lane scored and added
the extra points to extend the
lead. 18-0.
With but a few seconds left,
quarterback James Millner
sneaked into the end zone for
the final score as the cold but
happy fans began to leave.
an exciting player to watch. He
can play either under the basket
or out front, wherever he is
needed,” said Gaines. Glover is
the Rams top scorer and re
bounder, and was an all C.I.A.A.
selection last year.
Louis Parker, back with the
Rams after a year’s lay off, is
expected to do a great deal for
the Rams. Parker’s rebounding
and “left-handed hook-shots”
really excites the Rams’ fans. In
1962, Parker sported a 14.5 scor
ing average and 14 rebounds per
game.
Richard Smith, a fine guard
back with the Rams, is expect
ed to do a great deal to perk up
the team. He is one of the co
captains, and a steady ballplaj'-
er. It was Smith’s deadly jump-
shots that pulled the Rams
through many games last year.
“He has the smoothest jumpshot
and follow' through of any kid I
have here.” said Gaines.
Treadwell Ratchford, a fine
rebounder, is back. He has im
proved 80 per cent over the past
two j ears,” said Gaines. Ratch
ford will see a lot of action this
year, splitting the center with
“Joe Cunningham did a fine
job as a freshman last year,”
said the coach. He also has im
proved 75 percent over his fresh
man year,” said Gaines. “You
will see a lot of Cunningham
this year also.”
Willis Bennett will be in ac
tion a lot. “He is a fine defensive
ballplayer, with fine reflexes.
Just for fun I assigned Willis
(Spider) to guard Glover, and
he really did a fine job,” Gaines
said.
“Gilbert Smith, a fine sopho
more, is expected to give much
help to our team.”'Gaines said.
You can expect to hear a lot
about Smith in the future.
“Vernon Monroe, the most
promising freshman on the team
has the ability to become the
next Rams’ star,” said Gaines.
“He has fine hands and can
shoot with anybody on my
team.”
