Braves Defeat
Montgomery
•k
For three long periods in Rock
ville, Md. Saturday it appeared
that Chowan would be making the
trip to play Wesley with a 6-1
record and out of the top ten
instead of with a perfect mark
and national rating no lower than
sixth.
Then the Braves came to life
and the offense and defense each
contributed a touchdown to down

Join ABC
NEW YORK (AP) — Harry
Reasoner will leave CBS to join
ABC on Monday, Dec. 7, as
coanchorman of the network’s
evening news show, replacing
Frank Reynolds.
ABC said today that Reasoner
would share duties on the show
with Howard K. Smith, another
former CBS newsman, who is in
Washington.
An industry source said Rea
soner had signed a five-year
contract with ABC for a salary
of about $200,000 a year.
Reasoner, who joined CBS
News in 1956, is cohost of “60
Minutes,” with Mike Wallace,
and anchorman of the CBS Sun
day News.
ABC said Reynolds would be
come a special correspondent
and would do occasional docu
mentaries. He became anchor
man in May 1968.
ABC has had its news pro
gram under almost continuous
revision in recent years in an ef
fort to improve its, third-place
standing, far to the rear of CBS
and NBC.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The

lication 22 months ago, may be
back on the nation’s newsstands
next spring as a quarterly publi

munity College eleven, 14-7, in a
non-conference game.
The story prior to this bit of life-
saving action could be summed
up in one word-“defense/’ The
Braves, contrary to >the 7-0
deficit, had it and the Knights
most certainly had it.
AU Montgomery’s defense did
through the first three quarters of
play and twice in the first half
was to stop Chowan three times
on fourth and one situations. One
yard looked short to Coach
Garrison and his Braves and with
the utmost confidence they went
for the first down. What they ran
into was a giant front wall, the
biggest they had seen this year.
The Knights were trying to wii.
one for a homecoming crowd,
with attendance off due to
dampness and the threat of rain.
The way they played in the first
half, it began to look as if Chowan
had been looking ahead to next
week’s game against Wesley and
was about to suffer a stunning
setback.
Compounding the problem for
the Braves’ backs was the slip
pery turf and mud hole on one
side of the field. When Ronnie
Mack and Nat Wright tried to cut,
they found themselves
ingloriously falling to the ground.
One play by defensive back Earl
Gibson, again turming in a
sterling performance, he gained
three yards without taking one
step. He slid that far before the
tackle was completed.
Chowan’s passing game was
ineffective in the first half behing
quarterback Dale McCafferty, so
Paul Black of Camp Lejeune
received his big chance. He didn’t
flub it. With Chowan taking
possession on their own 45
following a 25-yard punt return
by Gibson, who also make the.
game’s lone interception. Black
drove the team the distance. The
big gainers were the dandy duo of
Mack and Wright, and Black
contributed a key pass on a third
and four situation to keep the
drive going. The pass was
complete to Wright on the one
an^ Mitck nm it>in ■eB’the'neiit
play. The extra point was good by
Bob Kilbourne and the cloclock
showed 12:04 remaining in the
fourth quarter.
Moments later Chowan stunned
the Knights when reserve
linesman Mickey Outten broke
through to block a punt and big
Steve Carter scooped the ball up

and rambled into the end zone.
He had never covered a more
important 10 yards. Again
Kilbourne’s kick was good and
Chowan settled down to protect
its 14-7 lead. The defense made
the plays and as the game ended
the Braves blew a sigh of relief
and again began thinking about
Wesley. For the past sixty
minutes at least Dover, Del. had
been forced off their minds by the
upset-minded Knights.
Defensively for the Braves, end
Danny Croom of Kinston proved
why he is sought by ACC teams
and again was the unmovable
object. Tackle Ed Love of
Virginia Beach also played an
excellent game as did backs
Gibson and Bob Comerford, who
must be one of the most vicious
tacklers of any 5-7 back in the
league (as well as much bigger
backs).
In the offensive line, tackle
John Bowles was Mr. Effective,
consistently making the holes as
did the other tackle, Joe Flora,
and guard Rickey Eason. In fact,
when the Braves finally came to
life they all played well.

night.
Chowan dropped the contest 37-
17.
The defense just couldn’t get
together, letting Wesley drive in
for a score in the first six plays of
the game. But it also set up the
first two scores for the Braves
with a fumble recovery on the
Wesley nine-yard line and a
blocked punt at the Wolverines’
39.
Chowan’s quarterback Dale
McCafferty and split end “Wild”
Bill Harris had a good night,
connecting on both of the Chowan
touchdowns. One was a nine-yard
shot and the other a 26-yard
bomb.
Chowan breaks were few and
far between as Wesley took the
opening kickoff and marched 77
yards in six plays with quar
terback Brian McAuley hitting
end Scott Meseroll with a 24-yard
scoring pass.
The extra point was good and
Wesley jumped to a 7-0 lead,
never to fall behind.
The ball changed hands until
Wesley gained possession at its
own 36 and marched to the
Chowan one, where halfback
Brian Chiles picked up the touch
down.
Early in the second period, the
Braves’ defense forced a fumble
and Chowan linebacker Jerry
Borum recovered at the
’Wolverines’ nine-yard line.
On the next play, McCafferty
fired an aerial shot to Harris for
the score.
Bob Kilbourne made good the
conversion and the score moved
to 14-7, Wesley.
Midway through the second
quarter Borum blocked a
Wolverine punt and Steve Carter
recovered at the Wesley 34.
Six plays later Chowan punted
and Wesley took over on its own
37-yard line.
Six plays afterwards, McAuley
hit Meseroll on a 25-yard aerial
for his second score of the night.
The two-point conversion was
good, making the 'score 3t»;l0,’

Wesley countered with a 47-
yard scoring drive after an at
tempted onsides kick failed for
the Braves.
The extra point kick was tipped
by a Chowan defender but the
ball hit the cross bar and bounced
good.
A McCafferty, Harris pass and
a sbi-yard carry by Nat Wright,
Chowan flanker, moved the ball
to the 16-yard line.
On fourth down, Kilbourne
