SMITH GOLDEN BULLS The members of the Physical Education Club (P Phi E) paid honor to the members of the football team and their coach. Attending the affair were 31 members of the team with Coach T. R. Conrad and Mrs. Conrad as special guests. The members of the PDE served a buffet style dinner to the honored guests. President of the PDE Nathan Teague made the speech to the players and their special guests. Teague stated that “To bring out the point that is seldom con ceived in the mind of man. This tact being one that should never be forgotten. It takes a great deal of our age, skill and love of the game to participate in a sport such as football. The game of victory and defeat, ups and downs, hard- knocks, and excitement is the game that these young men have chosen to participate in, in hop- mg to represent the school in a way that we, the student body would be proud. Even though their season’s record wasn’t the best, look at it my way... it was far from the worst. “I’ve tried to be brief but to the point, so in closing. I’d like to say, “don’t be too ready to down the team before you think, and if you still think you can do better than any of the fellows, go out for the team. I am sure they’ll be glad to have you.” —Lawrence Starks, Jr. Physical Ed Majors Form P Phi E Club The Physical Education majors of Winston-Salem State met on Friday, November 12, 1965 for the purpose of organizing a club.

Smith Bulls 28-16 before a Home coming crowd of 6,000 fans. The Rams failed to achieve their goal, since they were outmanned and outweighed by the high spirited Bulls. A fumble on the first series of plays by the Rams seemed to have spurred the Smith offense as they traveled to victory. A cross of signals between James Millner and halfback Napoleon Hudson left Millner holding the ball. Millner was then tackled from behind causing a fumble; James Brandon recovered on Smith’s 4 yard line ending State’s drive. The first quarter was score less since both teams seemed to be finding each other out; though each team attempted to score. Smith’s attempt was kill ed by Raymon Contrell on State’s 13. State’s only attempt was also stopped when the Rams were forced to punt. Smith opened the scoring after intercepting a Ram’s pass and returning it 36 yards. Two plays later, Allen Cole carried the ball in for the score. George Foster passed to Frank Fleming for the two points and Smith led 8-0. State bounced back with a 70 yard drive in 10 plays, which in cluded 4 passes that covered 64 yards and a 20 yard pass to Wal den Taborn for the touchdown. Millner passed to Taborn for the conversion with 1:45 remaining in the half. With about 35 seconds left in the first half, Smith went ahead. After missing an onside kick, tried by State, Smith had the ball on their 41 yard line. After a couple of passes, that totaled 48 yards, Cole raced in for the score. The run for conversion failed and Smith led at half-time 14-8. The Bulls opened the third quarter with the help of a fum ble and the hard running of Wayne Stamples and Cole who moved the ball to State’s 2 yard line. Staples tried twice and made it on the second attempt for the score. A pass from Foster to Fleming added two more points and the Bulls led 22-8. However, State remained in the game by taking the kickoff 78 yards in nine plays for a touchdown. Millner, taking to the air after the ground game was stalled, hit Lewis Turner for 14 yards and Parker for 32. Ta born pulled in 10 more yards on a pass from Millner. The Rams had a first down on the 18 yard line of Smith. Millner fired over the middle to Britt for 17 yards. Millner’s quarterback sneak net ted 6 points for the Rams. He then connected with Britt for the two point conversion and challenged Smith 22-16. Smith maintained its control over State by marching 65 yards in 13 plays. Passes by Foster of 26 and 15 yards placed the ball on the Ram’s 21 and eight run ning plays later Staples cracked off the left side of his line for the score; the point after failed and Smith added another defeat to State’s list by winning 28-16. 25 Players Report For Cage Workouts The first basketball practice was held Oct. 15 with about 25 candidates for the first practice. Among them were seven return ing lettermen from last year’s NAIA tournament — Earl Mon roe, James Reid, Joe Cunning ham, Howard Ridgill, Johnny Watkins, Willis Bennett and Steve Smith. Also among the candidates were a group of promising fresh men and sophomores. The sopho mores were Joseph Hill and Robert Brannon. Hill will add both height and shooting power. The freshmen prospects — William English, Thomas Hairs ton and Ronald Plant, have made good showings in practices and scrimmages. With a little more experience they should provide State with some much needed help. Eugene Smiley, a junior, playing this year, has brought his past basketball ex perience to State and will use this experience to help fill the position in the back court by Teddy Blunt. This team could be the best that W.S.S.C. has ever produced. Senior Joe Cunningham, has been elected captain of this year’s team. Cunningham is the team’s leading rebounder and has a good eye for shooting also. Saturday, Nov. 13 proved to be an unlucky day for the Winston- Salem State Rams as they suf fered their 4th straight loss at the hands of the Shaw Univer sity Bears 28-13 before a crowd of 1,000 high spirited fans in Raleigh.

Lawrence Starks, Jr. PE Majors Attend Members of the Physical Edu cation Club, better known as the POE, met to select two members to attend the 18th Annual NCA- HPER (North Carolina Associa tion of Health, Physical Educa tion and Recreation) Convention was held at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Dec. 2, 3, and 4. Representing the PPE were Johnnie McPhatter and Nathan Teague. Also attending this were Mrs. M. Mclver and Mrs. V. Con ley of the Physical Education Department. This was the first time that Negroes had been in vited to attend. Miss McPhatter and Teague told how things at the conven tion impressed them. Miss McPhatter stated that af ter registration, they attended the first session on that day, the Intramural Section. Here she truly and greatly enjoyed shar ing with others in this exciting part. After the Intramural Session, she attended a session called “Re- q u i r e d Physical Education,” members of a panel discussed va rious phases concerning values. This session referred the theme State Convention of the convention, “Examining our Values.” Dr. Malene Inon, Director of Development Evaluation Clinic, East Carolina College, spoke con cerning “Examining our Values from a Medical Viewpoint.” The main thoughts were upon the heart. She said that the heart is the main organ of the body, and “we are born with a bank ac count of heartbeats.” She empha sized that it is iinportant for the physical education leader to be enthusiastic. The afternoon session centered on dance as a value in any pro gram. The dance section thrilled Miss McPhatter because of her experience at WSSC in the fun damentals of rhythm class. Teague enjoyed the commer cial displays because they were educational, and personnel was on hand to explain them. The goal of the convention was to encourage North Carolina phy sical education instructors to im prove their programs in their va rious schools and offer a variety of activity. The convention will be held in Raleigh next year. Physical ed ucation majors plan to attend this sesaion as an organization.
