RAMS DEFEAT
FAYETTEVILLE BY 33
The Rams brought their home
season to a close February 17 by
blasting Fayetteville State 100-67.
The hot shooting Rams, fresh from
knocking off unbeaten Elizabeth
City, exploded with 11 minutes re
maining in the half and had the
victory sewed up midway through
the second half.
Bill English paced the Ram at
tack, firing in 35 points and pulling
down 16 rebounds.
English was backed by Allen Mc
Manus and Vaughn Kimbrough as
each dropped in 20 points.
The victories over Elizabeth
City and Fayetteville moved the
Rams into fifth place in the CIAA
standings and a spot in the tourna
ment.
The second unit, with Reginald
“Punch” Scales directing the
operation, held its own in the battle
for points in the final minutes.

formance of William English, who
made a n e a r record setting 37
points.
Thirty-six of English’s 37 points
came from the floor. The one bas
ket he did not get was all he
needed to tie a CIAA single-game
field goal record of 20. English
made All-CIAA for the second year
in a row, and he along with Vaughn
Kimbrough made the CIAA tourna
ment All-Star team.
The Rams gave a good showing
and so did the student body. We
thank you Rams for a most enjoy
able season.

Disaster Strikes
Again
The score was the same as the
night before as the Rams dropped
an 89-88 decision to Maryland State
In the CIAA tournament consola
tion game. But the difference was
that a traveling violation and not
the clock wrapped up the victory
for the Rams’ opponent.
The score was 89-88 when the
Rams got the ball because a Mary
land State player knocked it out of
bounds, and William English, five
feet from the goal and five seconds
from the end of the game, walked.
That gave Maryland the game and
third place in the tourney.
One notable fact was the per
Rams Choke
Elizabeth City
Rally
Winston-Salem State, surging be
hind the brilliant shooting of Allen
McManus and Vaughn Kimbrough,
handed previously unbeaten Eliza
beth City State its first defeat
February 14. The victory snapped
a 19-game winning streak for Eliza
beth City and ran the Rams sea
son record to a 12-10 mark.
The Ram bench turned the tide
with great play from Calvin Stith,
David Spell and Henry Melton.
This trio pulled down rebounds and
threw in timely baskets.
The Rams tied the score at 55-55
with ten minutes remaining in the
game and took the lead 72-68 on
baskets by McManus and Kim
brough.
Elizabeth City cut it to a two
point margin (76-74) with 2:18 left
but Kimbrough’s marksmanship
sewed it up. He sank a field goal
and four free throws and Spell
dropped in one to post the final
seven-point margin.
Remembering the 102-90 setback
at Elizabeth City earlier this sea
son, the Rams had no ideas about
it happening again. The Rams went
into the locker room trailing 41-36
and deep in foul trouble, commit
ting 17 fouls to 7 for Elizabeth City.
John Lathan and Don Williams
fouled out in the first five minutes
of the second half. That forced
Gaines to turn to his bench and
the subs came through.
Allen McManus led the ram at
tack with 25 points followed by
Kimbrough’s 24. Israel Oliver pac
ed the Viking attack, securing 32
joints and pulling down 11 re
sounds.

RAMS DEFEAT
AGGIES BY SIX
Coming up with a superb team
effort, the Rams upset heavily fav
ored A&T, 75-69, in the first round
of the CIAA tournament last month
in Greensboro.
The Rams gave no quarter to the
taller A&T team on the boards.
They played outstanding defense
and got solid performance from
the reserves when several first
stringers got into foul trouble.
The Rams out-shot A&T from
the floor 53 per cent to 43 per cent.
With Kimbrough and Williams hit
ting from the outside, the Rams
grabbed leads of 10-3 and 14-5 ill
the opening seven minutes. But the
Rams then got into foul trouble.
William English and John Lathan,
had four each with 9:51 left in the
half. They spent most of the sec
ond half on the bench, while re
serves Calvin Stith and David Spell
came in to get the job done.
Praise is due the Rams for this
game and the student body for its
support. —Marvin Lattimore

WHERE
THE
ACTION
IS
FEDERAL SCHOOL REPORT says: The Philadelphia
public schools are engaged in "the most dramatic revolu
tion in a city school system in the post-war period."
Reform in Philadelphia is “more widespread and far-
reaching than in any large school system in the country."
DR. MARK SHEDD, Superintendent of Schools, says:
"I will continue to support teachers who are able to
examine, in a mature way, the gut issues of our day —
war, sex, race, drugs, poverty. If we divorce school sub
jects from the guts and hopes of human beings, we can
expect students to find them gutless and hopeless."
RICHARDSON DILWORTH, President of the Board
of Education, says: "The city is where the action is. It’s
where the challenge is. It’s where we are facing the great
moral issues of our day. If you want action, come teach
in Philadelphia. If you don't, teach in the suburbs."
WE SAY; Conne ioin our school revolution as a
teacher. Get in on the action. Teacher salaries are
rising rapidly. So is our school system. See our re
cruiter on your campus on April 16 or write to the
Office of Personnel-Recruitment (Telephone 215—
448-3645).
