Scribe Sees—
Much Too Little
Spring Activity
By JOHN HOLLEY
Upon looking down on O’Kelly
Field these days, your scribe sees
only a few scattered figures clad
in sweat and practice uniforms
and limbering up for what prom
ises to be a great track season ...
Your scribe does not see any ac
tion in the baseball diamond nor
hear the “thud” of the ball as it
leaves the bat, destined for the
fences' beyond . . . this situation
exists because NCC has decided
to discontinue baseball — much
to the sorrow of your scribe and
many of the avid student fol
lowers. For athletic interest,
students have turned to the sole
summer sports of track and ten
nis .. . not as exciting as base
ball but certainly interesting.
Coach James Younge has some
very promising netters on his
squad this year and the mak
ings “for a championship team.”
Dorian Periott, Malcolm Littlej
Alan “Nick” Townsend, Ernest
“Coimt” Ingram, and Alfred
Fisher give Coach Yovmge a
nucleus of four top-seeded
racketmen.
Coach H. T. Walker has come
up with aii unheralded frosh
prospect in Jimmy “Oswald”
Lane . . . “Oswald,” as Lane is
called by his classmates, has a
beautiful stride and speed “to
burn” and" should come on
strong after he gets a few meets
‘‘under his belt” ... as for his
specialty, no one knows, not
even the coach, because “Os
wald” runs the 100, 200, and
400 yard dashes equally well
. . . “Connie” Watson, sopho
more is another speed demon
and a top prospect.
Nortli Carolina College Tracksters
Sweep Annual Twin City Relays
North Carolina College’s track
team walked away with the Win
ston-Salem Relays on Saturday,
April 16, as they capped nine of
the ten first places.
Co-captains James Courtney
and Andy Graham paced the
cindermen as they piled up a
total of 51 points to take first
place team title just ahead of
the host Winston-Salem squad,
would like to say “hats off” to
Charlie Barrick and commend
him for foiu: years of outstand
ing basketball play . . . Charlie,
though never a great scorer,
seemed to make the offense
click so smoothly when he was
“in there” . . . The Rosemont,
Pa. lad proved to be an excellent
floor general and team player
who could shoot the “pill” when
the points were needed . . . This
will be Coach Brown’s big prob
lem—^to find someone to replace
this guy who always kept his
“cool.”
Later, sports fans! See you
in the next issue when your
scribe will give you the run
down on the Eagles’ gridiron
prospects for next season . . .
which garnered 43 points.
Courtney captured the 440
yard dash, the javelin-throw,
and ran legs on the winning
medley, mile, and 880 relay
teams. Because of this spec
tacular performance, Coiurtney
won the award as the most valu
able and most outstanding per
former of the meet.
Graham won the half-mile and
mile events and ran on two of
the relay teams.
