A
Griffin Becoming Catawba Star
(Reprint from Raleigh
News & Observer)
By A. J. CARR
Bill Griffin, Catawba's
football and track star,
seems to be proudest of his
recent golfing feats.
"I shot an 83 the other
day," said the muscular
6-6, 242-pound sophomore.
•Just got lucky, though.
I've only played about 15
times in my life, but I
really like that sport.”

hardly played enough to

Plans Are Made
MANTEO Drama un
der the stars in a historical
setting will again be pre
sented on the fascinating
Dare Coast-Outer Banks of
North Carolina when “The
Lost Colony” is staged for
the 28th production season
June 21 through August 25
cm the Fort Raleigh na
tional historic site.
Except for special Sun
day performances on Aug
ust 18, the 381st annivers
ary of the birth of Vir
ginia Dare, and oh closing
night, the show will be
presented Monday through
Saturday nights at 8:30
(EDT) in the Waterside
Theater on the shores of
Roanoke Sound. The thea
ter seats 2,000 and there is
a 600 - car free parking
area.
Written by Pulitzer prize
winner Paul Green of Cha
pel HilJ, “The Lost Col
ony” will be directed and
choreographed for the fifth
consecutive season by Joe
Layton of Broadway, TV
and Hollywood fame. He
was the choreographer of
the original Broadway pro
duction of “The Sound of
Music,” won a Tony award
for staging Richard Rog
ers’ “No Strings,” an Em
my award for the first of
his three Barbra Streisand
TV spectaculars, and was
responsible for the musical
numbers of the motion pic
ture hit, “Thoroughly Mo
dem Millie.”
Paul Green’s "evergreen”
is staged on the site where
Virginia Dare became the
first child of English par
entage born in the 16th
century New World, more
than 20 years before James
town and 30 years before
Plymouth Rock. With a
professional cast of nearly
100, plus another 35 or 40
off-stage technicians, the
orama tells the story of the
attempted settlement in
the 1580’s by Sir Walter
Raleigh’s and the first
Queen Elizabeth’s colonists
and their mysterious disap
pearance between 1587 and
1590.
TB CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1968.
linas Conference records in
the shot (49 V 4 feet) and
discus (134-2), but already
this spring he has exceeded
those marks by wide mar
gins.
That he has improved
his shot toss to 50 feet, 9
inches and his discus fling
to 144 feet, 5V* inches
comes as no surprise be
cause Bill is strong enough
and high skilled enough to
do even better.
“I’ve improved my form,”
explained Bill, who helped
Catawba rifle to a quick
6-0 start in track. “The
form has made the differ
ence in the discus and the
quickness in the circle has
been the difference in the
shot.”
Those record - breaking
tosses become even more
impressive because Griffin
authored them with an in
jured back suffered in
spring football practice and
because he rarely has time
to throw the shot and dis
cus in the off-season.
“It’s getting better now,
though,” chirped Griffin.
“I seem to be healing up
all over. I’m trying to get
ready for the AAU meet,
and this Elvin Bethea of
A & T.”
Although football comes
first in the sporting life of
Bill Griffin, he does not
merely throw the shot and
discus with the idea of let
ting them “fall where they
may.”
Immediately after spring
grid practice, he flits
weights for two weeks and
all during the track sea
son he runs wind sprints
and more wind sprints, and
constantly strives to im
prove his form and quick
ness in the circle.
“If he could concentrate
on track more,” said Coach
William Faircloth, ex-
Wake Forest footballer
from Clinton,’’ he could
probably get the shot over
60 and the discus up to
about 175. He still needs |
to get quicker.”
Faircloth, an assistant
football coach who shares
track chores with basket
ball mentor Sam Moir, has
started filming the In
dian’s performances, a
move that has helped, im
mensely.
“I study the films,” said
Griffin. “It has really
helped a lot. You can find
out what you are doing
then, see your form.
Although Bill sparkles in
a track uniform, he is
more impressive in football
gear.
“The pro scouts are real
ly looking him over,” said
Faircloth. “They think
that in two years he will
be one of the best tackles
in the country.”
Bill Griffin has it all—
strength, speed and stam
ina. He can dash 40 yards
in 5.1 seconds in full foot
ball gear, a rate of speed
many backs can’t match.
“I actually concentrate
on football the most,” not
ed Bill. “That’s what I
really want—to play pro
fessional football.”
Barring injury, he should
realize that dream, and
then, in later life, he might
even begin to take the
game of golf seriously, too.
