OCTOBER—1948 =(i THE CAMPUS ECHO PAGE THREE N. C. EAGLES SHADE BEARS 14 -13 EAGLE TAKING OFF Lineburger Toe Puts Finishing Touches On Perfect H’coming THE SCORE AND ELANE MOORE Sometime ago, perhaps two weeks or more, our Student Council gave a Cbapel Program that was designed to give the freshmen and new students onr basic philosophy as to ‘ ‘ Wliat We Believe.” In conjunction with that trend, 1 think that it is only fitting that ' this cobimn list a few statements which will give the new comers an idi'a as to what our Philosophy^ is in relation to sports. I i'auno|>'think of any better method of giving you this p'liilosophr than ?iy T^at FTead 5oaeh, Johnny “Lil Coach” McTjendon. has trnii- acritjed theiA to the Baski'tball Sched ule Card: ‘‘‘The Home of Courtesy to Opponents, Courtesy to Officials, Appreciation of Fine Play. No Booing of Anyone or Anything, Spectator Sportsmanship, Hard Playing Teams. Because we not only believe in this hut practice the above statement, we have a reputation throughout the na tion for our good sportsmanship. Let’s keep it th'vt wtiy, E'agles! ! on tlie track teamj Euel Blair and Arthur McGuiro inithe wing position. Thomas “ Eed ’' 'j|den, Eagle pass ing fullback, not Irtly jlasses accur- ntedly but runs jiid tackles hard. Albert .Jones, the: Hullback that gets the extra yards nieded for a first down, also does tliO kicking assign ments for the Eat:j!es. Jimmie Line- liui'ger, our place kick siieeialist, and Willie Bradshaw aw O. K. at quar terback. Last,,but by no means least, we have our ‘ ‘ great tailback ’ ’ Carl (Jnlbieatli as one of the most Reared Ijacks in tlie CXAA, and is subject to break up anybody’s football game with liis shifting side step. (Jrady ‘ P'etinut ” intthel, a 9.9 hundred yard man, who takes off like a “jet” out of,the tailback slot, gives slow linemen and backs a fit. OttO' Pullpr is anotherl shifty-tail bacji' who has untold possibilities. Butler Taylor, passing tailback sensation, is noted as one of the best passers in the conference. Our freshman find in the backfields is Cletis Horton, tailback who, is rapidly taking his (ilace as one of the constant threats to any team. The third thing that will carry the Eagles forward is their team spirit. T have never seen so much team s;iirit and cooperation exemplified in (Please turn to Page Four) The hopes of the traditionally pow erful Morgan- Bears of returning to the top rung of the CIAA that they have so consistently occupied were completely smashed Saturday after noon by a spirited bunch of North Carolina College Eagles in a well played conference affair. Morgan began the afternoon in the usual fashion, driving to a score in the first quarter when Butherford Brice, fullback, smashed over on fourth down from the two yard line after a poor kick by Jerome “Eed- top” Turner. Fred Brewer broke thru to block the try for the extra point. After the kickoff and an ex change of punts, Joe Person recov ered a Morgan fumble on the 17 yard line. From there, the Eagles drove to the eight where they lost the ball on downs. Morgan pnnted out and on the first play “Blue Juice” Taylor hit Frank Harvey with a beautiful pass that carried for 21 yards to the seven yard line. An offside penalty against the Bears placed the ball on the two from where Jones smashed over. James Line- liurger converted the valuable seventh N-4283 COMPLIMENTS Burma's Beaut-y Service L. J. Pretty, Manager After seeing the Eagles perform on our home field, "I am confident that we have a machine that will bring us nothing less than tie championship of the CIAA. This is not wishful thinking! I am making this state ment with three facts in mind which r think are essential for nny champ- tonsliip team. One newspax>er stated that Vir- ftiiiia State had the best line in the “World.” Well, I won’t go that far, but I will say that any team that meets the Eagles’ forward wall will encounter a fast, hard-hitting, low charging, and alert line. An example of this alertness was during the 8. C. State game when they pnll- ed for the first and last time a quick opening play. They lost seven yards which can be attributed to the entire line. The Eagles have *three depend able men that can produce offensive ly or defensively, from end to end. Our line has plenty of weight, speed and experience. Now let’s take a look at our back- field. It is a known fact that we have one of the most dangerous back fields in the OIAA. Charles Wliite wingback and sen sational track star, who runs the 100 yard at'9.8, does not need any elaboration on his running ability from this oolnmn. 0. 0. State will gladly tell you how well he'runs. He ran only two touchdowns in the sec ond quarter against S. 0. State.

Spike White intercepted a desperation Morgan pass after the kickoff and the Eagles tried vainly - to score again thru the air as ,the half ended. Shortly after the beginning of the second half, Morgan got a reprieve on fourth down when the Eagles were penalized for roughing the kicker, placing the ball on the. Eagles ’ 41 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Eli Howard tossed a perfect pass to Jerome Har ris, who' dashed the remaining dis tance for the Bears second tally. Triplett converted successfully. Directly after the beginning of the’ fourth, quarter, John Hunter, ex- Hillside star, blocked a Morgan punt on the Bears’ 25 yard line. From there, Cletis Horton, freshman tail back, drove to the two yard line, one thrust, carrying 13 yards, and smash ed off tackle for the tying touch down. Lineburger again added the extra point, and in the final analysis, the margin of victory. There were no stars, individually, but the Eagles displayed the fiercest, (Please.turn to Page Four) COMPLIMENTS Carolina Beauty And Barber Shop J-6222 1717 Fayetteville St. “RECORD SHOP” The Supply Agency Retail Dealers * ELECTRIC APPLIANCES * RADIOS AND PARTS * PHONOGRAPHS AND RECORDS Phone N-7464 326^ E.
