As Seen in The

dilillvoiffi
ifKiJst 6f the hundreds
North CaTOhne Civitans visiting
■ in* our city have jikssed the age of
being aefiye athletes, escce^l for an
odcasiOnal gaihe of golf, a number
of them were sports stars in their
day. ^
in this category of course is the
sergeant-at-artns of the New Bern
Civitan club, Harty Soufas, who
will long be remembered, as an all-
time great of the Coastal Plain
league. He plpyed fine-ball for the
New Bern Bears, but one of the
highlights of his career came at
Rochy MOUltt.
- He managed the 1946 team to a
Ipop charnmohship, and individual
ly ended t|ie Season with a hefty
_ .teo batting average. He played in
^ games thaf year, came to bat
w4' times, ahd collected 139 hits.
. An indication, df his slugging is the
«ct that he had 11 homers, 18
qoubles and fiVe triples to his cred-
it.,
•New Berii’s return to regularly
ffeheduled basdball, with an entry
in the Tobacep State league, prob
ably has Soufas yearning to be
hacit on-the diamond. He lacks a
lot of being a youngster, but few
. fans would doubt his ability to still
clobber the ball well enough to be
an asset to the Bruins.
Turning to the New Bern High
school sports scene, there is consid-^
erable speculation as to who will
win the first annual Roy Ticker
|rophy this year. It is being given
in memory of this old-time New
Berp sports star by his widow, Mrs.
Alma Tucker.
*: It is a unique award, since it
won’t necessarily go to the most
publicized and acclaimed athlete
at the high school,, but rather to
the athlete who has done tiie most
with his potential. In other wordr,
to the boy who eonslstently gave to
thP sport or sports he participated
in eveiyflflng he had in the way of
ability, determination, courage arid
unselfish teamwork.'
to our way of thinking, any ath
lete should be doubly proud to re
ceive such an award at the high
school he has represented, ^en
better than being a star is tl^e satis
faction of knowing that you’ve
been recognised and honored for
doing the most you could and the
best you could, when the chips
were down and the going was
tough.
Aside from being an , excellent
athlete many years ago, toy 'Tuck
er continued to have a keen inter
est in high school sports here. His
son, Roy, Jr., was quite a football
player at New Bern High, while his
daughter, Shirley, was one of the
mpet outstanding guards to ever
play basketball at our school.
After their graduation, he still
maintained his interest. And no
one .who has attended New Bern
High needs to be told that Mrs.
Tucker is a great-rooter for the
teams there too. As you know, she
runs the lunchroom, and every
body lOves her. #
Yes, the Roy Tucker trophy is
an award to covet and cherish. The
boy who receives it will undoubted
ly deserve it, and in future years
the possibility of winning the
award should prove an incentive to
other athletes. However, more oft
en than not, the athletd ^lio gives
his all dries so for the sheer joy of
it. With' or without the sound of
cheers ringing it* his ears.
