C, squad, A diminutive performer who played consistently outstand ing basketball during four years at North Carolina Col lege. Hunter is an exception ally clever defensive ball- handier, and was greatly re sponsible for the Eagles’ late season spurt which brought them the runners-up spot in regular season play and the tournament championship. In commenting on his selec tion by the Caps, Hunter, who is majoring in Physical Bkluca- tion at Xorth Carolina Colle^fe, said : “ I am going to try as hanl a.s I can to remain on the Capi tals’ stpiad. The opportunity has been presented for Negroes to make an important contribu tion to ])rof ess tonal basketball, and I’ll 'oe doing my best.” Described by North Carolina College’s Director of Athle tics and Basketball coach, Johnny McLendon, as an “ir replaceable performer,” Hun ter was seen at his best in the ClAA tournament held here at the Uline Arena, where he kept the Eagles In the games by dint of his amazing demon stration of tireless offensive and defensive play. Hunter and his mates edged the Yel low Jackets, 74-70.
