1975 Goober Bowl a Successful Event for Shriners
Shriners from Wilmington,
Fayetteville, Kingston, New
Bern, Durham, Burlington,
Elizabeth City, Manteo, Roanoke
Rapids, Williamston, Ahoskie,
Murfreesboro and other eastern
North Carolina communities
crowded the streets of Mur
freesboro Saturday to participate
in the first annual Goober Bowl.
The event was sponsored by the
Hertford County Shrine Club and
all proceeds from the days ac
tivities were donated to help
support the Shriners 22 hospitals
tor crippled and burned children.
A beautiful fall day added just
the right touch to an exciting and
eventful day.
The days activities started out
with the Chowan Tennis Team
facing a tough rival in Lees-
McRae. Lees-McRae has a very
powerful team this year and
began the process of ruining the
day by dumping Chowan 9-0.
Following this was the Mur
freesboro Shriners Parade at 1
p.m. The parade had to be one of
the finest Murfreesboro has seen
in a long time. Talent for the
parade was supplied by the
Shrine Units from the Sudan
Temple, Among the par
ticipant were several motorcycle
units, a horse patrol, a number of
bands and of course the clowns.
Then came the darkest
moment of the day, Mr. Phil
Royce reports on the football
game:
Lees-McRae won the first
Goober Bowl game, defeating
Chowan College 17-16 on the
Braves’ field Saturday afternoon.
But the Braves just missed
snatching victory from defeat in
one of the wildest finishes seen in
Chowan Stadium.
The Bobcats had wrestled the
lead from Chowan on two fourth-
quarter scores by fullback I.V.
Reeves. The first following a
fumble by Chowan at its 30 and
the second after Lees-McRae
blocked a punt at Chowan’s U.
Reeves’ first score left Lees-
McRae trailing 10-9. Flanker
Wardell Johnson took the pitch
out and raced around right end
for the two points and 11-10 lead.
The second score sind extra point
upped the visitor’s margin to -
17-10.
Reserve quarterback John
McConnell of Williamsbiu'g, Va.
found flanker Bingley Hannah
with a 40-yard pass to the Bob
cats’ nine to give Chowan new
life. With 28 seconds left in the
game, Mike Bocock replaced
McConnell. His first three passes
were incomplete. With three
seconds left, he started the
game’s final play. He fired the
ball to Steve James and the wide
receiver caught it in the endzone
after the horn sounded. The
Braves’ fans, including many
Hertford County Shriners,
sponsors of the Goober Bowl,
roared their approval.
On the try for the two points,
Bocock handed off to another
quarterback, Randy Shumaker
with a special play from Head
Coach Jim Garrison. He threw it
toward James who was closely
defended. A Bobcat intercepted
to end the Braves’ chance for an
upset win.
Before Lees-McRae’s two forth
quarter touchdowns, the Braves
had limited the Banner Elk
players to a first quarter field
goal. The Bobcats entered the
game averaging 240-yards
rushing but Chowan’s defense’
ignored these statistics. For the
fifth straight week, though,
Chowan’s opponent scored first
when Rudi Volz kicked a 36-yard
field goal late in the first quarter.
Chowan took the lead on an 84-
yard second period drive with
quarterback Jeff Dean passing 11
yards to running back Rayford
Petty for the six points. William
Hinton kicked the extra point and
then added a 27-yard field goal in
the third quarter for a 10-3 lead.
This held up through a scoreless
third quarter and well into the
fourth quarter.
Three quarterbacks completed
13 of 27 passes to give Chowan its
best passing attack of the season.
James caught five for 61 yards
and one touchdown and tight end
Mike Moran and Petty three
each. Petty scored once.
On defense; linebacker Craig
Vosler was in on 15 tackles and
linebacker Tony Harris, 14.
Defensive backs John Hruniuk
and Ted Williams each in
tercepted once for Chowan.
Chowan is now 0-5 and 0-4 in the
Coastal Conference. Lees-McRae
won its first conference game
against two defeats. The Bobcats
are 3-2 overall.
Chowan plays its homecoming
game Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
against Hudson Valley im
munity College of Troy; N.Y.
Hudson Valley is led by one of the
conference’s finest quar
terbacks; John Maggio. The New
Yorkers own a 19-12 win over
tough Wesley College.

something new was started on the
Chowan Campus, and it is cat
ching on great. It’s the BSU
Coffee House, and is held every
Thursday at 8:00. The Coffee
House program is split up into
three different programs, which
rotate so that a certain program
only occurs every third week.
These programs are Movie
Night, Talent Show Night, and
Game Night. The Coffee House is
held in the lounge of the Askew
Building.
A new paint job and a refresh
ment counter have just been
added to help its looks, and, to
give it a coffee house at-
moshphere, tables with candles
are provided for seating. Also for

The Title III program, as ap

accademically and socially.

will aid greatly in providing
worthwhile educational ex

move Chowan further into the
mainstream of higher Education.
Champion Palomino Stallions
Enter Homecoming Parade

By DEAN LEWIS
“We will be showing two
palomino stallions, one of which
is the 1973 National Performance
Champion. Another one is doing
very well on the Show Circuit and
we have high hopes that he will be
a National Champion by the time
of the Parade, “wrote Charles
D.Minter of Carolina Farms,
Route 14, Box 176, Lexington,
North Carolina, when accepting
an invitation from Dean Clayton
Lewis to participate in the
Chowan College Homecoming
Parade scheduled to begin from
Jones Drive at 10:00 a.m.
Saturday, October 18, 1975.
Mr. Charles D. Minter is
president of the Atlantic Paso
Fino Horse Association. The
organization bands together
owners and breeders of Paso
Fino horses in North Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama.
Paso Fino horses have an in
teresting history. The Moors
invaded Spain in 711 and brought
with them Arab and Barb horses
which were crossed with coarse
native stock and the proud An-
dalusion breed that dated back to
the Middle Ages. Columbus
brought 20 stallions and 5 brood
mares from the Spanish
Provinces of Andalusia and
Cordela to the New World on his
second voyage. The progeny of
these hardy horses spread
through the Caribbean as the
Spanish took more and more
territory. They were taken to
Puerto Rico, Cuba and Mexico.
Horses with a smooth riding gait
began to emerge. They now
belong to a breed known by the
name of its natural gait - Paso
Fino.
