Post-Season
Mortem
Broncos vs. Hampton
Tearing Hampton’s vaunted
powerhouse line to shreds, the ’54
edition of the FayettevUle Bron
cos staged a great CIAA opening
game effort. The Broncos played
a tremendous game the first three
quarters behind the brilliant quar
terbacking of Earl Garrett. With
the running of James Paige, and
the all-around play of Don Brawn-
er, Lloyd Wallace, Johnny Noble,
and Johnny Jiggetts, the Broncos
led at the mid-point, 8-0. However,
Hampton came back in the last
quarter to pass herself to a 12-8
victory.
Broncos vs. Bluefield State
The second test of the season
was Bluefield State, pre-season
dark-horse favorite to win the
CIAA. This game was to turn the
tide for the remainder of the foot
ball season for the Broncos. Senior
quarterback, Earl “Pat” Garrett,
sustained an ankle injury that
kept him on the sidelines for the
most part of the season. The game
was 7-7 at halftime, but with the
absence of Garrett, Bluefield won
27-7.
Broncos vs. Winston-Salem
The Broncos lost a close one to
Winston-Salem 20-13. Paced by
Jim “Red” Paige and Sammy Al
ton, freshman back, the Broncos
looked good in this game even
though they did not grab the vic
tory.
Broncos vs. Morris College
Because of the powerful running
of Doug “Stonewall” Jackson, re
turnee from the EIAC Champion
ship team, the Broncos pulverized
Morris College of Sumter, S. C.,
19-0. Noble and Alston played a
great all-around game for the team
in this victory. The victory prov
ed costly, however, for Denry
Lawrence was injured and so was
lost to the squad for the remainder
of the year.
Homecoming Game
Our Homecoming game was lost
to the great Maryland State team,
with a final score of 45-0 prevail
ing. Maryland has a number of
candidates for “AU-CIAA” on the
team. The Broncos, however, did
not fail to give out with what they
had, as always.
St. Aug.
The Broncos lost 19-7 to St.
Augustine in Raleigh in a game
that was highlighted with three
pass interceptions that led to
touchdowns for the St. Aug. squad.
The Broncos journey to Tennes
see and Morristown Industrial Col
lege where they were victorious
by a score of 14-0. Jack Johnson,
flashy halfback, ran up more
yardage than there is space to
write about. Noble, Jiggetts and
Wallace, as usual, showed wonder
ful playmanship. Aaron Melvin
and Joseph Biggs, two freshmen,
also played a wonderful game, as
did Curtis Battle, also a freshman.
Elizabeth City
After trailing at halftime to a
good Elizabeth City team, the
Broncos bounced back to outplay
the Elizabeth City “Pirates” in the
second half. The final score was
27-7, but the Gainesmen proved to
themselves that they could play
good ball when they wanted to.
St. Paul’s
The Broncos closed out their
season with a 20-19 victory over a
heavy St. Paul team. The return
of “Pat” Garrett to the squad was
a mainstay of this victory. He
passed brilliantly to lanky end,
Croxton Williams, and to Charles
Knight. Jack Johnson continued
his sensational running and his
jaunt of 67 yards was the best
made by a Bronco this season.
Lloyd Wallace blocked two punts
and on the second one scampered
25 yards to pay dirt. Big Harold
Ford blocked an important extra
point try that kept the St. Paul
“Tigers” from gaining a 20-20 tie
with the Broncos. Jiggetts, Addi
son, and Stanley gave commend
able performances.

Players
The Joyner Hall Dormitory As
sociation held its first meeting in
the Little Theatre on Sunday, Sep
tember 26. The main purpose of
the meeting was to elect officers
for the year. The following ladies
were chosen to serve as officers;
President Doris Lackey
Vice-President _ Lonnie McKoy
Secretary Nina Baten
Asst. Sec. Louise Campbell
Treasurer Ella Smith
Asst. Treas. __ Leila Thompson
On October 16, which was
Homecoming Day, Joyner Hall had
open house for all the alumni, stu
dents, and friends. A delightful
repast was given to each visitor.
On October 22, before the foot
ball team left for Raleigh to play
Saint Augustine College, the girls
entertained them in the Student
Union Room. This must have
been an inspiration to the boys
for they ga\>e St. Aug. plenty of
opposition. We also had a little
pep meeting before they left. Joy
ner Hall is appealing to all stu
dents to encourage our athletic
teams by showing such enthusiasm
at all times.
Joyner Hall gives orchids to all
the young ladies who recently be
came members of the Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority. Congratulations,
girls!
The girls in our dorm are not
at a stand still. We are preparing
for the future. We have organized
a Charm Club and we hope that
someday this will become a school
project and perhaps will produce
more efforts toward grace and
charm on our campus and in all
our surroundings.
A caroling group has also been
formed in our dorm. We hope to
bring more cheerfulness, gladness,
and encouragement to everyones
hearts.
On December 11, we sponsored
a dance to benefit the scholarship
fund.

These two stalwarts will be missed
by all of us in the ’55 contests.
With the return of Johnson, Noble,
Paige, Brawner, Wallace, Melvin,
Knight, Hartsfield, Stallings, and
Williams, the Broncos look for
ward to a successful year. With a
cloaching staff like Gaines, Scott,
and Nichols, how can we miss?
Basketball Preview
Now for a quick look at the bas
ketball situation. The nucleus of
the team wiU be centered around
“Duke” Lewis, “Dick” Woods, Lar
ry Waddell, “Ezee” Mack, and
Lawrence Thompson—five return
ing lettermen. “Snake” Williams,
Bonner and Boyd will truly be
missed, but there is some fine ma
terial in Ronald Evans and A1 Col-
lander of New York, Donald West
and Sylvester Dobson of Newark,
N. J., and Norman Evans of Bur
lington, N. C.

us is but the lengthened shadow
of its noted conducter, Leonard de
Paur who entered the Army as a
private and rose to the rank of
captain. Before he entered the
service he had been assistant di
rector of the Hall Johnson Choir

Theatre in New York, and after
graduation from the officer’s can

director of the Army show, “Wing

it sang for audiences of all the

The de Paur Infantry Chorus

tainly no exception to the rule.
