MA]RCH — 1948 CAMPUS ECHO PAGE THREE =F -1- Ut^- t-: ■,y^.vnr Vi:?E' ', Eagles Drop Season’s Opener To Shaw THE SCORE AND ELANE MOORE A 1\"» days ago I was gazing pass ively oat of niy niiidow wliich eii- abk-s oQi- to got an euiiaiiciiig vie\v ot the w'.it segment of our campus From thb point, I could see a large number of students strolling, playing with one another, and athletes train- ing. This wa.i too much for me so I put aside the book T was holding and walked doy?n to tho athletic field to see what was “cooking.” ^ Upon my arrival on the scene, a large portion of the track team was taking some very strenuous exercises, while Robert Wheeler, Thornton Hayneu, and Charles “Cat” Har rison wra running 100 yard “wind builders. ’ ’ On the other side of the playing field, William “All Eound” Spring field, who hung up his basketball suit three days ago. Masted two balls in ■ succession into deep right field dur- ;* ing batting practice. Douglas Park er, Oliver Garrett, and Andrew Wil liams, captain of tho 1947 baseball squad, wore not doing so badly with the “war club.” Whitted was doing all right for himself on the mound. Although C. I. A. A. basketball has ended, that does not mean that the fellows have stopped playing around kcre, so I jfmrneyed -orfr to the gym. The Y. >L C. A. and tho Virginia All-Stara w^ere playing a nip and tuck tiasketbaU game. As fast as Bill Lafayette would make two points from the floor or Floyd Washington would drop them through from tho pivot, the Virginia All-Stars would retaliate with the use of their fast ’break. Freddie Tiravis, Eldridge Byrd, and Ruel Blair were outstand ing for the Virginia All-Stars who won 4.')-.'58. Well, I started out of the gym, but T thought T heard someone punching r. launch bag in tlio l):i.?emcnt. For oMce, my hearing did not deceive me; there Hore some fellows working out with the leather. Two of the heavy weights were sparring, a lightweight ^vas shadow boxing, and a welter weight was jumping rope. began asking such courageous yJiing men as Douglas Howell, IJoyd Iwvell, Walter Jackson, KIwood Nickols and Fred RagLmd some gen eral questions, and’ this is what shocked me most from the in terview. Those fellows, who were working diligently under tho watch ful eyes of Coach W. E. Williamson, have no funds provided by the school in order for them to go compete and represent the school in the boxing toiirr\iim)Blnt\ at Hampto^ Ihstitute. Well, they iWid that they were going anyway, and this meant that they would have ty take tho, money out of their own po*'iets. Boxing is oi\e of the hardest sports in which to 4'nipete; one needs all the moral 8tlj%iOrt that he can get from anyoHiV Ajk these “scrai>ping youngsters”Vgetting tho moral and financial supiyrt of the entire .school? I think that’J^ something should be done immediately, on the part of the school, to ^ctify this fallacy. Maybe yon or the administration think thft^ because boxii'.g in college is not as'^profitable a.'i some other sports, it tyyould not be backed. So what if it id not profitrble? We are suppo.sed to be interested in the de velopment of the individual and not the dollars. There should not be any discrimination in the supporting of any athletic activities. This climaxed my stroll which was very enlightening in .all resjx"cts ex cept one—you have some idea of wtiat it was, don’t vou? Thirteen Games On Baseball Schedule l;asebaH Coach K. C. “Pops” Tuv- Dor fca.-f released .a thirteen g;une schedule for the North Carolina Col- lige Kiglto for the 1948 season.

Field ing errors and lack of hitting power spelled defeat for the Eagles in this initial contest. James .Toyncr, Shaw's first base man who accounted for three hits and three runs out of four trips to the plate, started the afternoon’s Scoring in the second inning.

For your information, here is a character sketch of th> C. I. .-V. A.’s most pro mising pugilist. Ehvood “Big Nick” Nicholas, 199 pound heavyweight, began boxing at Hampton Institute in the spring of lt43. He won honors in a tournament at Lincoln University (Pa.) the same year.

North Carolina, the ! ft. 2 in lad from Morganton, North Carolina fought and won the heavyweight title match from Charlie Robinson, 1947 C. I. A. A. champion, liobinson has now made his debut in professional boxing in Philadelphia. Elwood Nichols should be praised for his initiative and his ability. This column predicts a great future for h'm. liOt iis not forget Coach William son, Nichol’s coach and trainer. Ooach Williamson knows athletic ability when he sees it. It was not a vital necessity for him to begin a boxing team but he saw an opportunity to make a contribution to tho school and he took advantage of it. We need more men with the same objectives. Cindermen To Run In Penn Relays Track Coach Leroy T. Walker of North Carolina College stated hero this week that his tracksters have a busy season ahead of them. In addi tion to competing in the C.
