And how to build a better World?
Well, not by chart or plan,
Unless we start to teach the boy
To be a better man.
For all our dreams of Nobler thio^^s
Will meet the same old fate,
Unless we turn to fellowship,
And do away with hate.

For the emotional lia.sketball fan whose feelings of loyalty
and rivalry and eUition and depression are so pronounced during
the game 1 prescribe 11. 11. I'eterson s Tenets:
Basketball is h game -not a battle or a fight.
Basketball is played for the fun and enjoyment it pr
not to provoke bitterness and sorrow.
A Basketball game is not a matter of life and death.
Basketball is a game from which there must emerge a victor
and a loser. In general, only a few points separate the two.
The victors de.serve congratulations; the losers respect.
Victory sliould develop a spirit of tempered elation mixed
with tolerance.

Hillside Drops Two,
Wins One; McArthur
Leads Hornet Scorers
The Hillside Hornets basket
ball team was able to salvage
only one hardwood tilt out ot a
bra(;e of three played recently.
C'hief Hornet nemesis was BowR-
er T. High of Hoeky Mount who
edged the Nelsonmen,, in Rocky
Mount last Friday by a 51-4^
count, and einbarrassetl them on
their home court Monday night
with a 57-39 victory. The Hill
side quint managed to save a
portion of its face by trouncing
Henderson last Tuesday by a
35-19 margin.
James Bullock, diminutive 5
foot, eight inch forward, led the
liocky Alount attack when the
Booker T. High team invaded
the Hornets’ Ne.st. He poured
in 21 points, and between bas
kets he was intercepting passes
and grabbing the ball fnmi Hill-
sidi* cagers.
James McArthur, steady
pivotman for the Hornets, con
tinued his high scoring feats by
garnering ten for the Hillsiders.
His showing was the only bright
spot for the Hornets.
The Booker T. five was out
in front at the half by 32-17
coiint. In the second half the
closest the Hornets came to their
opp(jiieiits was at a 41-31 junc
ture.
To make the embarrassment
even more complete, the Booker
T. femmes buried the Hillside
Sextet umler a 38-12 score.

Sink Talons In
Virginia For
66-55 Victory
PETERSBURG, VA.
Shelton Matthews’ well-drill
ed Trojans fell before aiul er
ratic but furuiously playing
band of Eagle cagers from the
Old North State, thus suffering
their first loss at home under
their youthful and promising
mentor. A capacity crowd wit
nessed the thrilling encounter.
The final score was 66-55.
With “Laiikj’*” Banks, the
conference’s leading scorer,
operating in his most ettielent
manner, the Virginians led ear
ly and ea.sily, but the visitors
tied up the score 14 all with
amazing long di.staiiee shooting
of Troy W'eaver and Jay Peter-
.son. Springfield and Taylor
turned on the fast break to deny
the best efforts of the Vir
ginians’ Williams and Bartow,
thus giving the Eagles a 28-21
halftime advantage.
Senior Clarence Jeffries, the
smooth, deceptive forward for
the Trojans, the enlonga^*d
Banks—who could not be sluiek
led by the best that the ('aro-
linians could manage, and the
long-ranggi.aliooting of John Wil
liams, sophomore star, tempor
arily stymied the Eagles and
came within three ])oints of their
never-too-eomfortable lead.
L. Brown, freshman from New
York, showed brilliantly in the
elutches for Virginia, but the
visiting speed merchants with
s«‘eminly limitle.ss stamina fell
back on veterans Bill Young and
I>eo Rogers who helped keep the
Eagles just out of reach until
the final gun.
The injured Eagle captain
Harold Hunter wa.s sidelined
throughout the game.

Smith Effort

A flurry of last-minute goals
by JohiiHon C. Smith’s Golden
Mulls came too late to over
take I’oach Johnny Mcljendou’s
lOagles here Monday night, and
the yueen City cagers yielded
a hotiy-conte.sted 72-68 decision
to the CIAA champions.
Smith lias dropped an earlier
M2-47 tilt to the Eagles and
s«‘emed destined to lose Mon
day’s game by an even greater
margin, when the loi*als pushed
to a «juick 16-9 advantage. Mc
Cullough popjK'd in a couple
of one-iianders, and the BuIIh
drew within three goals of the
Kagles at 2()-14; but center

Gatling gun performance pro
duced 18 first-half points, coun

champions pulled steadilly a-
wav to a 43-13 lead at inter-
The Golden Bulls came back
.strong in the final stanza to
whittle North Carolina College’s
lead to ten points at 48-38. The
Eagles’ Ernest Warlick, who
performed well at the pivot post,
then dropped in a charity toss,
and the squads exchanged bas-
ket.s at a torrid pace.
Smith’s stretch drive, with
three minutes left in the contest,
just mi.sst'd tripping the Eagles,
who were out-scored, 37 to 29, in
the s(‘coii(l half.
Taylor was high man for the
Eagles with 23 points ^

Heninburg's Last Minute
Shot Gives Pirates Victory
HAMPTON,'V A.
A long, looping field goal
from near mid-court by Captain
Uus Heningburg of Hampton
Institute pulled a terrific battle
with A. and T.’s Aggies out of
the first in the final half-minute
of an encounter between the two
CIAA rivals here Friday night,
January 13.
The Pirates dropped an en
counter with the How ard Bisons
earlier in the week by a close
56-53 margin.
Coach Buck Neilson’s squad
launchc'd a counter rally in the
last minute on goals by Big Jim
Foster, Heningburg, and Willie
Southerland to offset a brilliant
A. and T. surge through the
middle part of the second half.
Behind 25-23 after a rough, close
first half, the Nort^i Carolinians
fell eleven points dow’n, at 47-36
with 7 ;4() to go. Then, sparked
by .Martin and McClenney, they
drove ahead at 51-47 with a
great 15-point surge. When the
two-minute foul rule uftwe wtq
operation, they still were lead
ing 51-48, but Foster’s and Hen
ingburg’s goals once more turn
ed the tables.
On Monday night the Pirates,
trailing by 28-19 at the half, put
on a great second half rally only
to see the Bison wrench a 56-53
decision from them in the final
seconds.
Paced by Captain Gus Hen-
ing^rg, with 11 points; Willie
Southerland, with 10, and Bob
Ayers, with 8, the Pirates grabs'
bed the lead for the first time
midway of the second half in
the Howard battle, and from
then on held a slight lead most
of the rest of the way. Despite
the absence of’ towering Frank
Booth, who fouled out after mak
ing 15 points in about three-
fiftlis of the playing time, the
Bisons managed to regain the
leal at 54-53 with a minute left
as Elmer Brooks, who scored

THRILLS
JAMES YOUNGE, Line
Coach, North Carolina College.
“My bigg^t Sports Thrill of
the past year came on October
15j 1949, the da^ of North Caro
lina , Collfge’s Homecoming
when North'paroli^a College de
feated Virginia State J9-14,
‘TMt was my biggest Iports
thrill.' "
Coach Younge, as you may
know, in bis undergraduate days
was a Trojan and played under
Harry Jefferson, As all grad
uates of Colleges react, their
greatest ambition is to defeat
their Alma Mater. No doubt
this factor contributed to Coach
Younge’s being so thrilled.
IT WAS A THRILLING
CONTEST!
An overflow crowd of Home
coming Alumni filled every nook
and cranny of 0’Kelly Field on
a beautiful Saturday afternoon
and Coach Younge and his Head
Coacih ilerman Riddick, wit
nessed their team at its ateolute
best for the season. Leading the
Virginia Staters 13-0 in a vici
ous fist-half onslaught, the Eag
les temporarily lost ground in
the second frame to allow four
teen points during their scoring
of a saving six. But so terrific
were the impacts of the blocking
that several defenders were left
prostrate and Injured before the
Eagles’ drive.
Wilting slightly in the wan
ing moments under a beautiful
air attack by the Trojans the
Durham team was found hang
ing on at the gun. Nevertheless,
the proud possessors of a first
victory in fifteen years. Truly a
great Sports Thrill of 1949!
