Track Team Prospects '68 Bright
By Reginald Hodges
With football season almost
over and the basketball team
facing a rebuilding year, many
faithful Eagle fans have already
turned their hopes to track.
Bounding with an excess of po
tential, this year’s track tesim
should be one of the best in
the nation.
The entire track team which
finished first in the South Caro
lina invitational, first in the
Carolina A.A.U. and second in
the C.I.A.A. last year has re
turned for another banner year.
New head coach George Quiett
has inherited the greatest group
of ruimers in the history of this
school.
Among the returning veteran
stars are Charles Copeland, sen
ior co-captain and sprint spe
cialist from Raleigh, N. C. One
of two seniors on this year’s
team, Copeland has posted times
of 9.4 in the hundred yard dash,
20.5 in the 220 yard dash and
46.0 in the quarter mile. Tony
Gilmore co-captain, and the
other senior on this year’s team
also runs the sprints, but spe
cializes in the broad jump and
triple jumps. Lionel Urgan, a
jimior workhorse, has posted
times of 9.3 in the 100 yard
dash and 47.7 in the quarter
mile. Two quarter milers, Floyd
Williams and William Baity, are
both exceptional runners, both
have posted times near 47.0 in
their speciality. Other special
ists are Leon Sanders and Har
ding Kirkley in the hurdles.
Sanders could easily be the best
hurdler to come through our
school since world record hold
er and two-time Olympic cham
pion Lee Calhoun. Last year
Sanders posted the fastest fresh
man quarter mile hurdler time
in the United States, an imbe-
lievable 51.7 sec.
We also have two of the best
high jumpers in this part of the
coimtry returning, James Wil-
kerson and Terry Cole. Both
men have cleared 6’ 7” and f!ole
finished second in the C.I.A.A.
championship meet with a jump
of 6’ 8”.
The relay teams could be
made up of any one of many
possibilities. The mile relay
team last year composed of Ur
gan, Baity, Keys, and Copeland
not only broke the school rec
ord but set a C.I.A.A. record
with a blistering 3:09.11. Gil
more, Williams, Reed and San
ders have all run on champion
ship A.A.U. relay teams.
^ach Quiett has also re
cruited four outstanding fresh
man prospects: Raymond Bul
lock a member of the all armed
forces track team, Elmer Reed,
a middle distance runner, James
Stevenson, a quarter miler, and

Boyd was broken up by defen
sive back Ronald Upperman,
and the Eagles agaiin had a
chance to score.
The Eagles advanced to their
33, then fell back to their 24-
yard line. A third-down punt by
Thurman Jones went to Morgan’s
31-yard line where it was
downed.
On the first-down play, Mor
gan half back John Fuqua ran
for 49 yards. Johnson moved
the ball to NCC’s 12, then gave
to Fuqua, who carried it for
seven yards. Half-back George
Nock went to the four, and
Fuqua carried again for the
touchdown.
Johnson again kicked the ex
tra point.
Ronald Draper a hurdler and
quarter mile specialist. Reed,
Stevenson, and E>raper all hail
from Harlan High School in
Chicago, Illinois. All three were
members of last year’s Illinoisi
state record mile relay teams
with a time of 3:129 secondsi
posted, the third fastest scholast
ic time in the United Sates last
year.

an early opportunity to intro

that all of you will take an
active part in an even larger
Intramural Sports Program this
school year.

Si nondum viginti duos annos habes, haec charta
parva efficiet, ut propemodum, quocumque “Eastern”
volat, dimidio preti soliti voles.
Unum hoc incommodum est: circumstare debes
expectans sedem tibi paratam. Ceterum charta "YOUTH
FARE l.D. CARD" per paucos dies non valebit: diebus festis
Gratiarum Actionis et Nativitatis Christi. Quibus excep-
tis, quando et quocumque volare desiderabis dimidio
pretio volare tibi licebit.
Quid cunctaris? Obtine chartam!

Right. Took the words right out of my mouth.
I'm under 22 and want to apply for an
Eastern Youth ID card. It will let me fly any
where within the continental United States
that Eastern flies, on a stand-by basis, for
half-fare. Enclosed you'll find either a $3
check or money order, payable to Eastern
Airlines, and a photocopy of my birth cer
tificate or driver's license. I'm sending them
to: Eastern Airlines, Dept. 350, 10 Rocke
