’64 Grid Outlook
Previewing the 1964 football
season, Coach Herman H. Rid
dick of the North Carolina Col
lege Eagles predicts his major
problem will be “developing
ends and quarterbacks. If all
expected centers, guards, and
tackles return,” he says, “we
should have average strength
in those positions.”
Donald Thomas and Aaron
Martin, his 1963 quarterbacks,
were lost through graduation,
in addition to such s t a n d-out
players as end Oscar Williams
and half-back Robert Curring-
ton.
Riddick who piloted the
tlagles to a 6-1-0 CIAA record,
an 8-1-0 overall tally, and the
CIAA championship in 1963,
lost 14 seniors and four others.
He will field a predominantly
sophomore team this year, with
a wealth of promise but little
experience.
Among returnees expected to
see plenty of action are Bobby
Asmond, James Price, Robert
Ferguson, Billy Shropshire, and
Herman Byrd. The halfback
spot left vacant by Currington
Will be hard to fill, in addition
to the quarterback’s post. Both
Currington, a Durham native,
and the multi-talented Martin,
of New Bern, are now with
professional teams.
Currington has sigjned a con
tract with the Biiifcilo' Bills of
the American
teastern Divisio!
has joined the ^ ' Angeles
Rams of the National Football
League, Western Conference.
Punting is expected to be
good—if 1963 CIAA punt lead
er Shropshire keeps his form—■
said Riddick, v/ho is beginning
his twentieth year as head men
tor of his alma mater’s grid
squad.He has amassed a re
cord at NCC of 108-51-11.

should be abolished for the sim
ple reason that there is no of
ficial head of this organization.
In the past years the male stu
dents have had a wonderful
time but the officials have fail
ed to do their part.
The male intramural head is
Dr. Ross Townes who treats the
participants with little encour
agement. He feels that he
shouldn’t take an active part in
these activities. His attitude is
such that many of the students
hate to take an active part for
fear of verbal embarrassment.
Another thing, in the most
active of intramural sports,
basketball, things are so irregu
lar that the time for playing the
particular games is not under
stood; the quarters are not pre
arranged; and the officials for
the games are not pre-selected.
So, until some remedies are
made, this corner feels that all
intramural activities for males
should be discontinued.
and scholar is expected of a
man, but on the field a terror
and demon is necessary.
When asked if he thought the
Eagles would win the champ
ionship this year he said, “Sure,
but the most important thing is
the morale of the c 1 u b.” He
went on to say that “our quar
terbacks are young but if our
line gives them the necessary
protection no one in this con
ference or any conference
should beat us.”
Congratulations, Sam. Keep
on pushing!
