Tomorrow night's Homecom
ing game against Northern Nash
should be a very exciting and
aggressive contest. For the
Gryphs the conference title will
be*on the line and a possible
chance for the state playoffs.
This crucial game is also
important for the simple reason
the Gryphons are battling the
Knights of Northern Nash.
The Gryphons defense has
been playing tough under the
leadership and hard-hitting of
Dennis Coit. The Gryphons
intercepted four Greenville
passes and held the explosive
offense of Northeastern to just
six points.
The trouble has been with the
inconsistency of the offense
which has been hindered by
turnovers and penalties. The
Gryphs had a good offensive
output against Hillside as
Linden Willis threw three
touchdown passes in the second
half. Then Jess Ebert delivered
with two touchdown strikes
against Greenville. But the
sputtering Gryphons were un
able to score and were plagued
with an abundance of turnovers
at crucial points againsi
Northeastern. These little kinks
must be eliminated if the
Gryphons are to defeat the
blood thirsty Knights.
Even if neither team has a
chance for the conference title,
the battle will still probably be
hotly contested by players and
fans alike.
Sailing:
An Easy Way
To Be Free
“Hoist the mainsail," "Mind
the jib." These are familiar
orders yelled aboard a sailing
vessel. Sailing is a sport enjoyed
by millions of people around the
world. Sailing, however, is an
expensive sport. Every year off
the coast of Rhode Island the
U.S. holds a sail boating race,
and boats from all over the
world compete for a gold cup.
Sailors unlike most sports
contestants hope for windy
weather.
Sail boats range from single
masted boats to three or four
masted ships. The smaller boats
can be sailed in reservoirs or
large lake'-. These boats are
usually five feet to 15 feel long.
The larger sailing vessels are
usually sailed in sounds or the
ocean. The wide openess of the
oceans or sounds increase the
amount and speed of wind. In
North Carolina the waters
between the mainland and ihe
outerbanks is ideal for sailing.
This area is too big for the
smaller boats, but the larger
boats can sail up and down the
inland waterway with no
trouble.
Gaston Lake and Kerr Lake
are perfect places for sailboats
in the ten foot range. Sailors,
however, have trouble in these
lakes with skiers and speed
boats.
The openess of the reservoir
in Rocky Mount is good for
beginner sailors.

added, “I have worked for an
award of this nature ever since
the sixth grade. Numerous

Paul Sasser reported, “The

portunity to attend college
without placing the financial
burden upon my parents.”
