Savage sophs waylay frosh; take win 13-0 By HARRY LINDSTROM Tha annual Powder-Puff football game between the sophomore and freshmen girls was held Nov. 25. It was an exciting game with the savage sophomores stealing all the scores. The sophomore team was made up the following girls: Miriam Walter, Pat Coffee, Donna Burnette, Cindy Brittingham, Susan Long, Jean Massey, Jeannie Gay, “Geo rge” Lynch and “Sam” Dodd. Their coaches were Lee Copeland and Pete London. Freshmen players were Patty Seay, Gayle Morris, Joanie Elliott, Joy Carroll, Elaine “Butch” Elian, Martha Casilear, Jan Her mann, Mona Midgett, Theresa Pettengill and Betty End. Their coaches were Ronnie Powell and Skeeter Key. It seems that “Sam” enjoys the ground when it touches the entirity of her body opposed to when just her feet are on it. This is the implication the press-box and spectators got on the first play when she fell down. The scoring was done in the first quarter by Jeannie Gay, who received a pass from George Lynch. Jeannie also scored the extra point. In the third quarter Jeannie Gay made a 65 yard run to score again but no extra point was made. The outstanding stars of the game were Jeannie Gay and freshman Patty Seay, who’s names seemed to monopolize the PA system. The final score was 13-0. Braves win 7-6 to end season Very much in the Smoke Signals picture By JULIE HOSKINS Marianne Pugh may be seen sprinting swiftly to the graphic arts building early Saturday mornings when everyone else is still asleep. The work is there and Marianne is always willing to do it. Marianne is a work-study student which means that she gets paid for up to 15 hours of work a week. But hours don’t matter when there is work to be done. Marianne is always there. Often she works overtime, knowing that she will not be paid for it. Graphic arts hasn’t been her life-long goal. In fact, when she started college last year, she was a liberal arts student. This wasn’t what she wanted. She bluntly said, “I hated it.” Second semester, Marianne took a tele typesetter course under Prof. Herman Gate wood. This way she was introduced graphic arts. It appealed to her—so much so that she decided to enroll in the graphic arts curriculum this year. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Now I’m in graphic arts all the way and I like it.” Changing one's major is a serious matter. In Marianne’s case, it was the perfect choice. She is devoted to the work she does. She sets most of the type for “Smoke Signals, " works with “The Chowanian” and helps on anything printed in graphic arts. It almost sounds like a fairy godmother steered Marianne to the right course of study. She must have considered the choice carefully. Many students are still searching for their goals but Marianne has certainly found hers. Marianne is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald B. Pugh of Camden, N. C. She is a 1968 graduate of Camden County High School, where she was very active in extra curricular activities. Mulder's book of poems is sellout in one week; second edition planned By PAULINE ROBINSON Vice president Spiro Agnew has received an autographed copy of Robert G. Mul der’s, English professor at Chowan, first book, “The Shepherd Who Stayed Behind.” So have former Gov. George Wallace, of Alabama; Terry Sanford of North Carolina; and the present Gov. Bob Scott of North Carolina. Why and how? Well, on Nov. 16, a Sunday evening, the Colerain Baptist Church gave a candlelight reception and autographing party for Mulder. Approximately 150 guests attended the party and the author, assisted by the book’s illustrator, Mrs. Eva White, and Bennie Pledger, pastor of the church at Colerain and trustee of Chowan, who wrote the book’s introduction, signed 250 books. Among the guests were those who had connections with the mentioned politicians and sent them an early Christmas present, an autographed copy of Mulder’s book. Mulder stated that this autographing of books for the already famed was “one of the most exciting parts of publishing the book.” His book was a complete sell-out one week after publication. Chowan’s bookstore sold its 50 copies in just a few days. Mulder hopes to print a second edition next year. Chowan student is electrocuted Nov. 28, Last rites Monday Robert Lee Dagenhart, 20, a Chowan stu dent and member of the Braves’ football team, was electrocuted Nov. 28 when he cut into a power line which he apparently thought was dead.

By PHIL ROYCE MURFREESBORO — In novels, and often real life, on the coldest night in town something significant happens. Such was the case Nov. 21 at Chowan Stadium when Chowan College not only ended play in freezing weather with a game victory, 7-6 over Davidson College freshmen, but with a winning season as well. Chowan coaches, Jim Garrison, head mentor, and assistants, Jerry Hawkins and Sam Green, and players and fans will be able to spend the rest of the winter savoring the 5-4-1 record, which will also serve as a recruitment tool. Reflection reveals that the Braves’ record, with just a few changes, could have been as good as 7-2-1, but no one’s complaining with their present record. The Braves can thank sophomore fullback Carroll Hart of Oxford, playing his last game for Chowan as were a number of other sophomores, and an aroused defense for the victory over Davidson. The game was as close as the 7-6 score indicates. Chowan’s fearsome passing attack was only a shadow of itself as Davidson shut off this avenue of advance for the Braves. The Braves’ score and most of its yardage came on the ground. Hart lived up to his publicity when he rambled 27 yards for Chowan’s score with 44 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Hart broke through the middle, shook off a tackier, cut to the sidelines and with a trail of red jerseys behiiid him, raced into the end zone. Robert Kilbourne added his biggest extra point of the season and Cho wan had its game-winning point. Chowan’s score was set up by the defense, which stopped Davidson three times from within the Braves’ ten. Twice the Baby Wildcats had advanced to Chowan’s five only to meet disaster. In the first quarter, fullback Drew White fumbled on an end sweep and an alert Claude Shell, Braves’ linebacker, recovered. Then late in the second quarter Ken Johnson intercepted in the end zone to halt the Wildcats again. With 6:22 left in the game, Davidson thre atened again moving the ball to the Braves’ nine. Four plays later they found themselves on Chowan’s 12. The tenacious defense made three inter ceptions and recovered two fumbles dur ing the game. Two defensive backs, Johnson and Greg Hartranft, teamed up to produce the inter ception that led to the Chowas TD. Johnson deflected a pass from Davidson quarter back, Scotty Shipp, and Hartranft, fresh man from Fulton, "N. Y., grabl)ed the ball at Davidson’s 39. Four plays later Hart scored. Davidson got its points with 5:18 left in the contest with Shipp running the last two of a 47 yard drive. The Wildcats, to no one’s surprise, went for two points but Shipp’s pass fell incomplete as the Braves’ secon dary provided tight coverage ot the in tended receiver. But the most dramatic moments came with only seconds remaining in the game. Davidson, after receiving a punt, had been stopped on their own 11-yard line. On the next play, Chowan quarterback John Casazza elected to throw and a Davidson player came close to making an interception. He had daylight in front of him. A second play was equally daring, and the Braves went for another touchdown but an end sweep by Hart was stopped after a four-yard advance. The game ended The Braves lost >the ball on downs but linebacker Norman Cage promptly intercepted a Shipp pass at the 11. The Braves’ ended the game at Davidson’s five. Three Braves picked up more than 50 yards on the ground. Hart gained 81, Win gate Burden 59, and Dayvault 54. Casazza completed five of 19 throws for 59 yards con trasted with 217 yards rushing for the Braves. Burden received three passes for 30 yards, Billy Harris one for 19 yards and Dayvault one for 10 yards.
