the second half, the Eagles
struck for three more tallies,
while holding the visitors score
less.
The Second Eagle tally came
with the ball resting on the

Maryland State Gamei
The North Carolina College
Eagles were hosts to the Mary
land State Hawks of Princess
Anne, Maryland, for their home
coming game at O’Kelly Field
Saturday on a beautiful autumn
afternoon. But, when the final
whistle blew signaling the end
of the game for the Eagles,
Coach Herman H. Riddick and
his charges walked of the field
dejected 7-0 losers to the in
vaders from Maryland.
It was a nip-and-tuck kind of
contest, with neither team com
pletely dominating the other.
Eight thousand homecoming
fans saw the Eagles fall behind
7-0 to Maryland State just
seconds before the first quarter
ended. The victory for Mary
land State over the Eagles was
sweet revenge. In 1963, the NCC
gridmen traveled to Maryland
State to oppose the Hawks on
their homecoming and emerged
with a 20-7 victory. The win in
1963 made the second successive
year that NCC had derailed the
Hawks. However, this year the
story was quite different.
The game’s only tally came
when the alert Maryland de
fense snared an NCC pass
thrown by Eagle quarterback
William Reid just minutes be
fore the first stanza ended.
Maryland’s end Edward Hines
intercepted Reid’s aerial on
NCC’s 15 yard line and returned
it to the five before he was
pulled down by a host of Eagle
tacklers. Within four goal-to-go
plays, the Hawks scored. Charles
Stukes, Maryland quarterback,
faked to fullback Emerson Boo
zer and threw a strike to his
end, Marshall Cropper, for a
touchdown. The PAT made the
score 7-0 in favor of the visitors.
From this point on, the Eagles
seemed to have their problems.
Their offensive machine was
throttled by an alert and aggres
sive Maryland defense. NCC
intercepted a Maryland State
pass just before the half on the
opponents’ 22 yard line. The
Hawks held the Eagles at bay
with a stout defense and NCC
was forced to kick on a fourth
down situation.
The half ended with the
Eagles behind 7-0.
With the second half mostly a
defensive struggle between both
teams, Riddick’s Eagles tried
desperately to score. NCC threw
a total 14 passes, completing
only two. A fired-up Maryland
defense stopped most Eagle
scoring threats by constantly
pressuring NCC’s quarterback
for tremendous losses and sever
al passing miscues during the
second half.
NCC’s only serious scoring
threat came with four minutes
remaining in the contest. On a
fourth down situation, the op
ponents kicked to the Eagles,
and the ball landed on the
Eagles’ 39 yard line. Quarter
back William Reid completed a
15-yard pass that went to Mary
land’s 45 yard line to end
Thomas Cameron. However, on
the very next play, Reid at
tempted another aerial which
was intercepted by Maryland
State on the opponents’ 30 yard
line. From this point on, the
Hawks played control ball and
ran out the clock for a 7-0 vic
tory.
Next week the Eagles who
are now 1-3 in the CIAA and
2-3 overall, face Shaw Univer
sity in Washington, D. C., in
the Capital Classic.
