The Came of the Week
Braves Down Cougars
By DONALD PATTEN
Chowan in its home opener,
following a great victory over
Sandhills 91-76, found themselves
in the midst of an overflowing
house, with standing room at a
limit.
The game was delayed ten
minutes, for workmen to repair
the score clock. The pep band,
playing everything from the
“fight song,” to “Danny Boy,”
could hardly be heard, over the
“Boos”, the fans screamed so
unkindly at the visiting team, as
they entered and left the floor,
{H’ior to tip off.
The action was well under way,
following the playing of the
National Anthem, as Chowan got
the tip and went in to score on a
driving layup by Crenshaw, who
saw limited action.
The Cougars taking the
precentage shoots, went tem
porarily ahead 12-10 with 14:53
remaining in the half.
Chowan’s six man, Brigman,
with aid from Davis, put the
Braves in striking distance as
they made one basket respec
tively, cutting the Cougars lead to
two, with 12; 58 in the half.
The Cougars, in a 2-3 zone,
forced the Braves into numerous
turnovers, as they strengthened
their lead with 10:44 in the half at
21-16. Dietterich, the fine center
for the Cougars, continued to
make the needed shoots, to keep
his team in the lead.
Coach McCraw, showing
concern, paced with interest up
and down the court yelling in
structions to his player, who for
the first time in the contest came
alive at 7:28 and pulled ahead of
the opposition 27-25.
Flipping went out of the game
with three fouls just before the
half, with the score tied at 32. The
clutch shooting by Brigman and
Ballard abled the Braves to a 38-
34 lead over the Cougars, where
they remained for the remainder
of the night.
A late basket by Davis, with 3
seconds left in the half made it
possible for the Braves to go into
the locker room, with a 42-38
halftime lead.
In the second half, Chowan
went from the press to a 2-1-2
zone, and achieved much suc
cess. The game took on a dif
ferent look at this time, for it was
the Cougars making the tur
novers and not the Braves.
The big difference in the second
half, was the hustle on the part of
Ballard, the clearing of the
boards by Flipping, and the 30
foot baskets by the Braves’ big
gunman, Ross.
With 2:13 seconds of the second
half gone, the Braves pulled to a
resting lead of 50-38, as Ross hit
from beyond the perimeter, and
Flipping grabbed the left-overs.
The Cougars, going to a press,
achieved very little success. By
achieving even a segment of
success, they forced Coach
McCraw to call time out to get his
squad together.
With 9:06remaining, Ballard in
his efforts to get the ball across
mid-court, was seriously injured,
and had to be taken from the
game.
The Braves showing zip, and
the Cougars continuing to take
the percentage shoots, pulled to
within 7 points of the Braves, with
41 seconds remaining to be
played. A free throw by Ross
made the score 88-78, capping the
braves second conference win,
and matching the won record for
the Braves entire season of last
year.
Both squads had four players
respectively to score in double
figures, with the Cougars Diet
terich topping them all with 26
points. The Braves leading

scorers were Flipping and Ross
with 20 each, followed by Ballard
with 15 and Davis with 10.
Flipping, topped all rebounders
with 20, trailed by Davis with 10.
The Cougars was lead by Selbe
with 11.
The Cougars showed good
sportsmanship during the entire
game, and I feel we can look for
an even more exciting game
when they meet again in
Chesapeake on January 13.
Today' several students from
Chowan College and the local
high schools releived Union

Hold it! Some of you intelligent
geniuses are going to sigh,
“Another one of those articles,”
and move on to see what’s hap
pening in the sports world (unless
that is what you’ve read first
anyway). Well if you aren’t in
terested, just go around kissing
frogs and maybe you’ll find one
that’s got a spell on it and change
it back to a prince, after which
you’ll feel rather foolish if you’re
a man and wanted a princess. In
that case you should have been
kissing trees, sucker!
Boy! You’ve really got guts if
you’re reading this stuff after
that insult. Go ahead and pat
yourself on the back and keep on
reading. Finished? Well there
you go acting like an idiot again.
What’s the matter; you getting
self-conscious or something?
Serves you right. You should be
just as self-conscious every time
you throw litter out your car
window. After all, don’t you think
the children of the future are
going to say a lot of dirtier things
about you when they realize it’s

you who was responsible for
making them wear gas masks
and walk through two feet of
rubbish on their way to class.
I apologize for hurting your
feelings, but it’s true. After all, if
I didn’t say anything then you’d
just go ahead and kill yourself
with the junk you’re burying
yourself in.
Oh! I forgot, I’m supposed to be
talking about the CSSO and State
Qeanup day, aren’t I? Well I
shall then... We (including
myself, that’s generally what
‘we’ means) started at the
Daniels HaU and went the entire
length of Union Street and part of
the highway collecting trash, and
being somewhat inclined to other
interesting fields of information,
we also collected some rather
useless data, for instance:
a. Either Budwieser drinkers
are more inclined to litter than
Shlitz drinkers, or it’s a more
popular beer on this campus.
Shame on you!
b. Someone (whose name I
won’t mention seeing as how I
don’t know it) had deposited a
large number of empty Cavalier
whiskey bottles in the drainage
ditch on Union Street. From this
day forward, this shall be called
“Tlie Mystery of the Empty
Whiskey Bottles of Union Street.”
Well, so much for that. It would
interest you to know however that
in approximately two and a half
to three miles we collected

truck. (See what I mean about
burying yourself?)
I’ll let you go now seeing as how
you’ve been so engrossed in this
article that you’ve been standing
on some kid’s foot for about five
minutes, but don’t worry, he was
reading the sports articles and
hasn’t noticed. By the way if you
think this article is trash (which
it is seeing that it’s written on
cheap paper), don’t throw it on
the ground, put it in a trash can,
unless there isn’t one around. In
that case eat it with a lot of
mustard, or if you prefer, with
nothing.
If you think I’m serious don’t
litter or I’ll put a really evil rap
on you!

'Flip' Is Back
By DON PATTEN
Harry Flipping, a quiet, easy
going P. E. major from
Waynesboro, Va. has returned,
after sitting out last season, to
cap off his career with the
Braves.
Flipping, the Braves 6-1 for
ward, with his play three years
ago, abled the Braves to a 19-6
seasonal mark. His response
when asked, if he for saw a repeat
of that season, he said, “Yes”,
continuing, “I think it will be
better.”
The Braves are now 4-0, and is
destined to get better. Flipping on
the average is leading the Braves
in every conceivable area, with
the exception of assist. His power
and ability to leap has enabled
him to average 22 rebounds and
20 points per game.
Flipping feels that “Pride” can
be contributed to his success
under the boards. In explaining
why, he said, “It is something I
must prove to myself and the
doubtful public, I can still do”.
One season has passed since
Flipping lead the Braves and
conference in rebounds, with an
average of 19.3 scraps per game.
Yes, yes, yes. The “Flip” Is
Back, and better than before,
with his new image. He’s
“beardless”.
EVERYBODY SAVES!
