Eagles Capture CIAA Crown With 6-0
Win Over A&T In Thanksgiving Classic
(Related picture, page 4)
GREENSBORO — North Car
olina College’s football Eagles
flew to a six-point height here
Thanksgiving Day and never
lost altitude as they fought off
the snarling, groping Bulldogs
from A&T College to clinch the
1 9 6 3 Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association football
championship, 6-0.
Over 10,000 gridiron fans
jammed Greensboro’s Memorial
Stadium, and braved chilly,
rainy weather to see the two
teams clash in the annual Tur
key Day Carolina Classic.
The win by the Eagles left
them CIAA conference leaders
with a 7-1 record. It also gave
Herman Riddick his second
CIAA championship in a three-
year span. The Eagles won the
title in 1963 when they went
undefeated with a 6-0-3 record.
The Aggies, going into the
game, were in second place with
an identical conference record
of 5-1 but with an overall re
cord of 7-2.
In winning this year’s classic
the Eagles also gained perma
nent possession of the coveted
Bull-Eagles Trophy, a three-
foot trophy established jointly
by the two state institutions in
1960 to promote good sports
manship between the schools.
NCC had two legs on the prize
prior to this year’s clash. A.
and T. won its only leg last
year.
Senior halfbi-ck Robert Evans
from Winston-Salem, scored the
games only score touchdown on
a 29-yard pass from end-quart
er-back Aaroif Martin in the
first quarter, giving the Eagles
a slender lead which proved
sufficient to earn them the
CIAA title.
Evans’ tally climaxed an 80-

(Related picture, page 3)
North Carolina College joined
the nation in mourning the
death of the late John F. Ken
nedy, thirty-fifth President of
the United States, Monday, No
vember 25, in memorial services
in the college’s R. L. McDougald
Gymnasium.
The program, which began at
10 a.m., included a prelude and
postlude by the college’s band;
music by the college choir; an
invocation by the Rev. Melvin
C. Swann, pastor of St. Joseph’s
A. M. E. Church, Durham; re
marks by Fulton D. Hayes, vice
president of the Student Govern
ment Association; reading of a
poem, “O Captain, My Captain,”
by Dr. J. Neal Hughley, college
minister; and a benediction by
the Rev. Henry Elkins.
NCC President Samuel P.
Massie, who presided, delivered
the principal remarks, a tribute
to the memory of the late Presi
dent. He looked upon the death
of the President as a loss in
far-reaching areas.
“The nation has lost a great
leader. The world has lost an
outstanding statesman and
peacemaker. Education has lost
a devoted servant. And the Ne-
Former U. S. Ambassador Urges
Students' Contribution To World
Dr. John H. Morrow, former
ambassador to the Republic of
Guinea, now director of the U.
S. foreign service officers’
training program, speaking here
Nov. 15, urged North Carolina
College students to attempt to
make a contribution to Western
willingness to understand and
assist the underprivileged of
the world.
Morrow, who headed the NCC
Department of Romance Lan
guages from 1956-59, leaving
to accept the diplomatic post,
addressed the college’s fortam
assembly on the subject, “The
Time is Now.”
Speaking of career opportu
nities in various federal agen
cies and the State Department,
he congratulated students upon
their being in college preparing
themselves to make contribu
tions to the American scene and
to the world.
“Your parents have realized
^—and don’t you ever forget this
—that for each generation there
are more and more doors open,”
he said.
“The wiser among us have
made the important discovery,”
he continued, “that college is
not a dull waiting room, where
students passively mark tinie
until the moment arrives to file
out into a few handpicked pro
fessions.”
Although students are reap
ing the benefits of a reassess
ment of education in the United
States, spurred on several years
ago by Russia’s launching of
Sputniks, no crash program has
been devised. Morrow said,

tance of the mastery of details

true friend,” he declared.
Dr. Massie expressed best
wishes to President Lyndon B.
Johnson in the trying days
ahead.
In commemoration of the life
and death of President Ken
nedy, the college suspended all
social activities for the week
end, cancelling a student-spon
sored variety program and an
intra-squad basketball game.
During the day of the memo
rial services, all classes and
other college activities were sus
pended.
