MAir, 195S THi! CAMPtJS ECHO PAGE THREE ■4m Around the Clock WITH PEACOCK Kappas Cop Intramural Kappa Alpha Psi’s cagers are the new Intramural Basketball Champs of 1952-53 by virtue of a stinging 41-38 upset over the favored Midwest Ramblers at NCC's gymnasium during the month of February. The Ramblers went undefeat ed in regular season competition with a record of 9 wins and no defeats and were sure bets to retain the title they won last year but it seems as if the odds _were against them. .Virginia All-Stars eked out a 59-51 decision over The Dead- Eye Dicks to walk away with consolation honors. The semi-finals saw the Vir ginians trying to pull a mild up- 'the Kannas by tfojng advantage. The Kappas blew hot and scored 44 points to the All- Stars’ 19 in the second half to win 50-55. In another semi-final encounter, the Ramblers down ed the Dead-Eye Dicks 50-46 to reach the finals. Well, I guess that just about wraps up Intramural Basketball for 1952-53 and thanks to Coach Ben Whaley for his splen did job in carrying out a suc cessful program.

Coach Clarence Cash’s Tenn., State Tigers edged the Eagles of NCC 98-94 here February 27. The loss eliminated the Eagles from the NAIA’s district-at-large tournament. NCC and Virginia State represented the CIAA. The event marked the first time Negro colleges competed for the national title. Coach Floyd Brown thus closed his first full coaching year with a regular season re cord of 16 wins and 6 losses. Charles “Tex” Harrison scored 37 points to lead the night’s scorers. “Tex” was also chosen on the all-toumament team. Sam Jones of NCC hooped 26 points and Red Thomas of Term- essee got 21. Henry A. Kean, Jr., netted 18 markers. Fred McClaren, NCC senior guard playing in his first and last district-at-large playoffs, scooped 7 digits. McClaren is the only one of Brown’s regulars who will graduate. Harrison will be a senior next year and Charley Barrick, Charley McCullough, and Sam Jones will also be juniors. ' A number of frosh hopefuls including Fred Gibson and A1 Little are expected to be back at NCC to strengthen the 195?" squad. Eagles Open Baseball Drills Coach Ben Whaley started his first week of practice on Feb ruary 13 with 35 hopefuls on- hand to start the 1953 baseball camp-aign. Coach Whaley, faced by the loss of many key players from last years squad, has a great rebuilding job to do with only eight lettermen returning. Four veteran pitchers returning and Bobby Sutton, 1-0; Linwood their records for last year are Johnson, 3-1 and Arthur Payne with a 1-0 record. Jim Brown hit .250 last year, Jerome Evans, left field, .273, Walter Green, centerfield, .167, Arts Plummer, center and will be used at second base, compiled a neat 309 bat ting average last year with 12 hits in 39 official trips at bat. Joe Battle, regular Eagle second sacker, had a .231 average last season. However, Coach Whaley is placing a lot of hope on several good freslmen prospects. Among them are; William Lowe, a so phomore who is likely to be a promising starter, hailing from Richmond, Virginia. Alexander Thomas, right hander from Trenton, New Jersey is pro gressing rapidly, Kittieel Pip kin right hander, Amsterdam, New York and Charles Beau- ford, hard-throwing right hand- er. Catching, which seemed like a problem - this year has proved differently with a toss-up be tween James Peacock and Char les Horton. Infield freshmen looking good in practice are Bernice Walker, 26, Brooklyn, New York and Fred Sneed, third base, Durham. New outfielders will include Jerry McFadden, James Squires, Harvey Wright, Horace Ward, C. Ward and Joe Forbes. Coach Whaley says he has a lot of handicaps but if the boys are interested and do good work along with hustle and deter mination, he should develop a strong squad. Hitting is most likely the question mark right now in the Eagles Camp, but some return ees plus a couple, of good fresh men that are being counted on heavily should supply the power at bat.
