GREENSBORO The A and T
College Aggies chopped down un
defeated Elizabeth City State
Teachers College, 65-55, and whip
ped the North Carolina College
Eagles, 74-67, in consecutive bas
ketball wins on the home court
here last week.
The two-victories, dosing out the
pre-Christmas schedule, gave the
high riding Aggies a 4-1 record for
the young basketball season.
In their win over Elizabeth
City, on Saturday night, De
cember 14, the Aggies had
many anxious moments near
the end of the game. Trailing
ky 10-peints for most of the
final stanza, the fighting hand
of Teachers closed the gap to
» thin 5-point lead with two
minutes to play before the win
ners collected themselves to
stave off the final gasping ef

•Toe Cotten, the 6-4 forward from

tvas high for the Teache rs.
On the following Tuesday night,
nearly 3,000 screaming spectators,
mostly hometowners, stood for the
better part of the rtowto see the
Aggies take their first win over
the Durham outfit since 4955.
The final victory margin of
seven points was the widest
smarting the two quints dur
ing the entire evening. The
game was deadlocked 10 times,

the Aggies went ahead 61-59,

The Aggies stalled the game for
the last minute of the first half to

charges suffer a 76-62 loss to
the A. and T. “Aggies.”
Following closely upon the open
ing whistle, Evans’ easy lay-up
broke the game wide open, but the
Bears, led by their hard-work
ing sophomore guard, Callaway
Polhill, came back furiously to
knot the score three times in the
early minutes of play.
Then 'Bronco regulars Robert
Johnson and John Morgan got
their eyes on the basket and the i
homestanders moved out ahead to j
stay. At halftime the score stood j

Leather Bags iake lice Gifts
Two things a wman never has
enough of— money and leather
handbags to carry it in. This may
be deplored by men at other times,
but is useful at Christmas when
you don’t know what to buy her.
And you’re always right with
a leather handbag -- as indi
cated by a just published gift
Preference survey. A group of
500 women were asked what
quality they most appreciate
what gifts they preferred in
the price range below mink
coats, a new' sports car, etc.
“Thoughtfulness,” was the qua
lity most welcomed -- and a
leather handbag was the gift
most desired.
.So heres how to go about it;

day type she’ll probably be de

found the going about as hard
against a complete line-up of

William Murphy and Robert Hall
fouled out during the critical wan
ing moments of the contest.
Despite their desperate come
buck effort to which Captain
Hail contributed four consec
utive iiuskcts, the Raleigh clan
had to take it on the chin for
their third defeat in five starts.
Bronco "Ron” Evans came up
with 1 "points to dominate the
scoring business, but Shaw's Hall
