''SCHOOL BOY*' IMFO KING FOOTBAIiL was agf.tn' ruler for a night last Tuesday * at the North Carolina College dining l^lil where the college athletic council feted the Eagles with the , BAiN'QUEJT OF THE SlilASON. The old grads and well wishers of the team took - time out from their various important duties to go into i* bit of first class reminiscing about the “good ole day” of football. Tall tales really the “green light”, and the only awaM that was lacking was the one th^t should have gone to the winner of that “tall- t&le contest.” The committee was humane enough to fortify the athletes Against those ~two hours of speech-making with a swell chicken dinner and that’s why they could afford to be gracious enough to la.ugh at some of those “wiskered” jokes. In some instances we needed Fibber Mc Ghee’s Molly to say: “tain’t funny.” However, a “good time was had by all.” But seriously, these speeches were not all JOiKEiS; each one of them contained something which everyone present could well take home with him nourishment i£j;Jua_?«r’«riitrForVit^ inspirers of men as Dr. C.

I Here are some BITS from the I talks that some of these men made; I E. R. MERRICK challenged: “Whfit will you do in your com munity to represent your schools?” C. C. SPAUDDIUG advised: “Keep healthy, young men, clean nren are the ones who reach the top.” R. L. McDOUGAIiD: “Y j» u r coach c4n’t give you ‘guts’— Mistakes will Ibe made; let them he made in ^gressiveness.” In presenting the individual trophy to Ennis, the most vtCu- able basketball player, he said: “with this, you can do nothing theft is not horiorable." GEORGE W. COX ibelieves thfct the men who got together and pul)lished an All-American basketball te^ito without mention- injg any North College players must have been the victims of the type opeijfUtion which a cer tain doctor made and forgot to replace the patient’s Ibr^tins. COACp J. B. McL£NDON chose to put in a word for the third string men of the football squad. These jcire the men who made their teammates good by allow ing. them to “practice on” them. He also commended the fffvor^ able attitude and incessant level- hefilied spirit which made Ennis a good leader. only now and then that they will let out ^ny information.

The game looked as if it were to be fJ pitchers’ duel between “Lefty” Hobgood and ‘Tommy’ Heron of the Hornets, but wild ness on the part of Herbn soon caused his removal from the mound a^ter the ‘Greys’ h ® d tallied four time in three jnnings.
