State Takes
Wins Over T. C.,
Howard, Shaw
Ends Season With First
Division Standing
By “Sportbug” Hardy
The North Carolina Eagles
closed their home schedule last
week (March 4) with wins
over Winston-Salem Teachers
College and Howard University.
The Winston-Salem quintet,
though putting up a hard fight,
were strictly out of class and
left the game with a 71-32 de
feat.
The Howard game from the
beginning proved to be an in
teresting one. Almost simultan
eously after the first whistle,
and a few quick passes, Parker,
lanky center of Howard, had
dropped a basket. The first half
play was on even terms with
the half ending 20-all.
The second half found the
Eagles in the mood for a bas
ketball game and they went to
town. Using the old time pivot
play, Colbert dropped in ten
baskets for a total of 25 points
which is near the C. I. A. A.
record. With the exception of
the A. and T. game, Downing
played his best game, making
15 points. For Howard, Parker,
Jackson and Hunter were out
standing. Final score: State 54,
Howard 34.
Tuesday night, March 7,
found the campus deserted.
Everyone was at Shaw Univer
sity to support the Eagles in
their last game. “Pony” Mara-
ble, fast breaking forward, pro
duced the first score. This was
followed by a scoring attack in
which both teams took part
with machine-like accuracy.
The fane -~qre raised from their
seats with thrill after thrill as
Downing took the ball off the
back-board time after time.
For State there were no in
dividual honors. Every man did
his part at the right time and
at the right place. For Shaw it
was Captain Burk, Marable and
Creecy. Final score was State
46, Shaw 23.
Eagles End Season
In Fifth Place
After going through a very
tough schedule, the basketball
team of North Carolina College
closed the season in fifth place
in the Colored Intercollegiate
Athletic Association and de
serves to be highly commended
for the excellent brand of bas
ketball played and the fine
sportsmanship shown through
out the season. I shall predict
that the Eagles will be cham
pions of the CIAA within the
next two years. String along
with the boys and support them
in their ensuing basketball
campaigns and they will surely
bring the championship home.
Final CIAA standing;
Team Won Lost Pet.
Virginia Union 11 2 .846
Virginia State 12 5 .706
A. & T 14 6 .700
Morgan 9 4 .692
N. C. STATE 9 5 .643
J. C. Smith 8 7 .600
Lincoln 5 4 .556
Shaw 8 8 .500
Howard 7 7 .500
Hampton 5 10 .336
St. Paul 3 12 .200
Bluefield 1 11 .092
St. Augustine 0 12 .000
This relative standing is
based on the number of games
won and lost, and not the
Dickson rating system. Union’s
percentage under the rating,
however, gives her the title.

What Is Stamina?
The dictionary defines the
word stamina as the power to
endure fatigue, privation, and
disease—the capacity to hold
out under any and all condi
tions. In the history of medicine
there stands out to this day the
name of one man whose stam
ina, even unto death, gave us
our first knowledge of the hu
man anatomy.
This man was Michael Ser
vetus, who lived and died in
the sixteenth century. He it
was who discovered, the secret
of our pulmonary circulation;
that our blood entered the right
side of our heart, passed through
our lungs and returned to the
left side of the heart through
tiny valves. The facts that the
researches of Servetus devel
oped were wholly contrary to
the accepted beliefs of his time,
and, by declaring these facts, he
suffered the wrath of the most
powerful influences. A price
was put upon his head. He be
came a fugitive, and in the city
of Genoa he was seized and
tried as a heretic. Offered the
boon of life if he would re
nounce his convictions, Servetus
refused. He had the stamina to
maintain what his scientific ob-
A. & T. Noses Out
N. C. C., 33-32
The Eagles of North Carolina
College dropped a hard fought
“rubber game” to the Aggies of
A. & T. College on Thursday
night, March 16. This game was
a thriller from the beginning
and throughout the first half it
was Slim Downing and Slam
Colbert who silenced the big
guns of the Aggies, making
them look mighty bad through
out the first period. When the
half ended, Coach Burghardt
had his “little” five in action
and the count was N. C. C. 13,
A. & T. 5.
The big five started the sec
ond half and after several daz
zling and spectacular plays by
Innis and Colbert the Eagles
were ten points ahead—the
count being 27-17. At this point
the experienced A. & T. team
began to outsmart the Eagles.
It was mainly the remarkable
shooting and floor work of Roan
and “the Goon” Riddick that
saw the Eagles go down in de
feat by a score of 33-32 in this
last game of the season which
kept the spectators tense from
start to finish.
Outstanding for N. C. C.
were Colbert, Innis, and Hutch
ins, while Roan, Riddick, and
Higgins did commendable work
for the Aggies.

What Are We To Do?
Sport Shavings
By “Sportbug” Hardy
We noticed the actions of
both Coaches Lytle and Burg
hardt during the recent State-
Shaw game. Both were cool and
calm, no side line officiating,
neither showing any displeas
ure over official decisions.
Everyone was a good sport.
There will be no change in the
athletic department, so pass up
everything you hear about Bell
of Fla. A. and M., Hunt of Mor
gan, and Jefferson of Northwest
ern. What we need is silence
from the Durham alumni, time
to develop present material,
and more material.
We have a football strategist
—State is getting $109,000 for
its budget. Hope some basket
ball, football and track mate
rial is included. Since Victor
Bryant gets everything h e
wants for the General Assem
bly, maybe he can get State a
much needed bus. There’s a
trip to Pennsylvania this fall.
The recent high school tourn
ament held in our gym showed
us the need of better equipped
physical education departments
in our college, with competent
instructors. Most of those high
school boys were “just playing”
basketball without any system.
But it was not their fault. Hen
derson and Hillside were the
most up to date teams seen in
action.

finished his career as a collegi
ate athlete. Congratulations,
Train! You did all right. You’re
from Kinston, my home.
servations had convinced him
was right, and so Servetus died
that a true physiological process
might become known, and that
thereby we might have a better
understanding of the workings
of our bodies.—Edward Parrish,
M.D., in “Successful Living."
We as college students are in
the dark as to the attitude to
take toward our college activi
ties; it seems as if college activi
ties are being regarded as use
less organizations. In Burges
Johnson’s article, “Campus
Against Classroom,” they have'
been classified as thieves of
time.
Certainly we all know that
some of our study hours must
be devoted to these activities if
they are to succeed, but above
all, this time is not wasted.
Acitivities must be included on
our calendar if we are to be
well-educated students. Yes,
they are looked upon as a thief
of time, and how are we looked
upon if we do not participate in
them? This is the question
which puzzles all of us as col
lege students. If we take part
in these activities you say we
are robbed of time which should
have been spent studying, and
yet if we fail to take part in
such activities, you say we are
not ready for graduation at the
end of four years.
I wonder if the enemies of
these college activities think we
are deprived of some of our
educational knowledge if we
are members of these activities,
or do they merely think of them
in terms of time? All activities
carried on on a college campus
hold some worthwhile rewards
for their participants; this is es
pecially true in the fraternities
and sororities. Even their let
ters stand for the best and their
members must do likewise.
Picture college life without
all of its extra activities and
see what you have. You will
have nothing of particular in
terest which the students will
hunger after. There is no war in
which the campus is against the
classroom; the campus is with
the classroom, but its intention
is to make the old saying true,
“All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy.” Therefore,
Whom Shall I Praise?
Whom shall I praise, man be
cause he invented machinery,
or machines because they let
man invent them? Who can
tell? Where would man be with
out machines, and where would
machines be without man?
I suppose it was some lazy
man who first invented a ma
chine of any kind; I mean he
must have wanted a means to
have more time to idle away as
he pleased, so he probably in
vented a machine to help him
have things going his way. He
must have had a little brain
though, to figure that if he could
just invent a machine, he
wouldn’t have to work as hard.
Just figure for a little while,
(see if you can do it without
the help of a machine) some of
the things that machines are
doing for you; sewing, cooking,
building—they can even do
your thinking for you, and they
tell you that there is a machine
that can determine whether or
not one is telling the truth
(must I burn this article?), and
would you rather play a “fifty-
thousand word tune” on a type
writer or merely just see if your
fountain pen can really write
that many words? And what
about when you get to be a
millionaire? Would you want to
add up all the bills? No, you’ll
most likely ring one of your
servants to bring you an adding
machine. See that word again,
or are you unfamiliar with it?
MACHINE.
I will now let the machine
rest for a while, but first, I must
tell you of an idea I had. Do
you need a machine to read this
article for you?

Adresses Chapel
A recent Friday chapel period
was given over to a speech by
Miss Ezella Stenhouse, an out
standing member of the senior
class who followed Dean R. G.
Rush in the series of talks on
In their first real competition
for the season, the North Caro
lina College boxers were im
pressive as they swamped How
ard University and Virginia
State College by an overwhelm
ing margin in a triangular meet
held at Petersburg, Va., Friday
night, March 17. The final re
sults were: N. C. State, 8; Vir
ginia State, 3; Howard 2.
John Malloy, smart light
weight who went to the finals
in the conference tourney last
year, was the first fighter for
the Eagles and being the supe
rior ring general that he is, he
forced his opponent to give up
in the third round and won by
a technical knockout.
Allen, king of collegiate
heavyweights, gained a techni
cal knockout over his opponent
(Virginia State’s Billy Kenne
dy from Durham) as did Creft
who has been referred to as the
most flashy fighter in the meet.
Logan and Warmick won by de
cisions. Warmick undoubtedly
had the hardest fight of the
evening on his hands. Fighting
an opponent of rangy build who
outweighed him considerably,
he was the aggressor at all
times to earn a hard victory.
George Cooke and Odell Dan
iels won their bouts while
Moore lost a close fight to Thax-
ton by a decision. Moore was
the only loser on the team of
eight men representing the N.
C. C. The results of the match:
Dunn, Virginia State, 124
pounds, won over Venson of
Howard, by decision.
Malloy, N. C. C., 136, TKO
over Williams of Howard, 137.
Sizemore, V. State, 135, de
cision over Watson of Howard.
Davis, Va. State, 132, won
over Moore of Howard, 132, by
decision.
Logan, N. C. C., 147, won a
decision over Henson of Va.
State.
Creft, N. C. State, 162, won
over Taylor of Va. State, 157,
by technical knockout.
Thaxton of Howard Univer
sity, 162, won over Moore, N. C.
State, by decision.
Warmick, N. C. State, 165,
won over Mont joy, Virginia
State, 170, by decision.
Daniels, N. C. State, 125, won
over Dunn, Virginia State, 125,
by decision.
Allen, N. C. State, 184, won
over Kennedy, Virginia State,
186, by a technical knockout.
Square, Howard University,
179, won over Jackson, Virginia
State, 173, by knockout.
Cook, N. C. State, 147, over
Jones, Howard University, 147,
by default.
while they recognize that the
classroom activities are of chief
importance, they are seeking to
divide the time equally between
the “sideshows and the main
tent.”

(Suggested by reading a
group of articles entitled, “The
Sideshows and the Main Tent,”
in Topics for Freshman Writ
ing.)
“What I Expect in a College
Young Man.” Among other
things Miss Stenhouse made it
plain that her “Ideal” must be
intelligent, must not “kiss and
tell,” and must be clean in
physical make-up, personal ap
pearance, and in mind.
In the near future there will
be a talk from some young man
on the “Ideal College Young
Woman” as a sort of continua
tion of what Dean J. T. Taylor
had to say on the subject sev
eral weeks ago.
