SATURDAY, DEC. 5. 19S3 THE CABOUNA TlMlg FAcamB It’s Official - Eagles Are Champs Eagles Nose Out Virginia State To Win First CIAA Cliampionslilp In Forty Year History Of Association DURHAM Riddick’s North Caro lina College Eagle grldders are the winners of the CIAA’s 1953 lootball pennant, according to John B. McLendon, Jr., official conference statistician. In Hampton, Va., last week, McLendon released figures that show North Carolina CoUegels team finishing with a Dickinson rating of 25.00 to lead the field over such perrenial former CIAA champions as West Vir ginia and Morgan, the clubs that finished with ratings of 21.66. However, Virginia State was awarded second place by virtue of a Trojan victory over Mor gan. According to the DicUnson system, Morgan drops to third place. In a fourth place tie are A. and T. and West Virginia with Dickinson ratings of 20.00 each. Hampton earned 18.57 points to cop a fifth place, and Jbhnson C. Smith came out six th in the first division with an average of 17.85. According to McLendon’s sta tistics, these are the standings of the first and second division clubs; FIRST DIVISION: 1. N. C. College. 25.00 2. Va. State College 21.66 3. Morgan State College 21.66 4. A. and T. College 20.00 4. West Va. State CoUege .. 20.00 5. Hampton Institute 18.57 6. J. C.

State College 13.33 Bluefield State College 12.85 St. Paul’s Institute 11.66 North Carolina College's win marked the first time in the 43 year old history of the college that one of its football teams won an undisputed conference crown. The NCC eleven defeat ed enough foes in 1942, but it was charged the Eagles had used an ineUgible player and the pen nant was forfeited. NCC Coach Herman Riddick, a 1933 graduate of North Caro lina College who was a sensa tional success as a high school coach at Durham’s Hillside High School before he became head man of the Eagles in 1945, at tributes his success to “splendid cooperation of the coaching staff and to a bunch of the finest boys that ever played on a football team.” Riddick’s lavish praise for his associates on the coaching staff included several well-known CIAA personalities. Among Riddick associates at N.C.C. is his administrative aide, James W. "Jimmy” Younge, who pro duced championship basketball and football teams at Morris town College (Tenn.) in the South Atlantic Conference in 1946 and 1947. Younge is do ing pre-doctoral work in physi cal Education. As line coach, the N.C.C. eleven has a young mentor who won laurels as a lineman at Virginia State Col lege and who later played pro fessional football with the Los Angeles Dons. He is Benjamin “Big Ben” Whaley, who has proved himself one of the CIAA’s truly astute strategists in forward wall work. Whaley earned the master’s degree at the University of Indiana. As special mentor for the Ea gles’ ends this season, Ross E. Townes, a graduate of Virginia State College and holder of the doctorate degree from Indiana, has done a splendid job of re placing one of the Eagles’ all- time great flankmen, Ernest E. “Hands” Warlick. Townes once did coaching duties at Wiley College in Texas. Another former head coach on the Eagles’ roster in 195% is Russell E. Blunt, who formerly guided the athletic destinies of teams at St. Augustine’s College, Raleigh, and St. Paul, Lawrence- ville, Va. Blunt did utility chores and gave special attention to centers. Masterminding the Eagles’ Jiackfield for the second conse cutive season this year was Floyd H. Brown, the North Caro lina College head basketball coach, who developed this year some of the conference’s most elusive ballhandlers. A graduate of N.C.C. who received a iftas- ter’s degree- at Northwestern University, Brown this season takes his place among the CIAA’s leading tutors of back- field play. Functioning like a well-oiled machine, the coaching staff of Riddick, Younge, Whaley, Brown, Blunt, and ’Townes wor ked with a bunch of 1953 grid- ders who numbered 23 freshmen and seven inexperienced players in college football in their midst. The Eagles’ coaches started the 1933 season with some dozen of the squad’s top offensive backs and linemen either gone by graduation or serving in the armed forces. Conspicuously missing were the canny field generals, Joe Battle, and James “Sixth Street” Robinson, the 25 Years In Business-Martin Jewelry Company 25th ANNIVERSARY SALE Low Prlcea—Easy Credit Terms—FREE—Ash Tray To Everyone—Who Visit Ds During Sale EVERY DIAMOND EING — ONE-HALF PRICE $50.00 Sold With A Bonded Written Onarantee Reserves Any BULOVA Until Christmas!

What would happen at quarterback was a problem that caused much concern at 'N.C.C. The ends were also significantly lacking in depth. Otherwise, it was be lieved, the Eagles would do ‘‘all right”. At the season’s end, the total story about the Eagles shows the Whaley-coached line lived up to expectations. Perhaps the great est tribute paid the Eagles’ for ward Wall'came from Bill Nutm, Jr., sports editor of a well known weekly newspaper, Nunn wrote, “The best line I’ve seen all season In Negro col legiate football belongs to North Carolina College.” Nunn’s obser vations are significant because he was among the nation’s few sportswriters to see all of the major Negro elevens in action. In Nimn’s judgment, N.C.C.’s line was superior t«'the lines of Florida A. and M., Prairie View, Tennessee State, Southern, and Maryland State, the outstanding Negro collegiate football clubs of 1953.

PETTIGREW ST. GREENSBORO The North Carolina Eagles de feated the A and T Aggies 15-6 here Thursday in the 5th annual Carolina Classic football game and were virtually assured of their first CIAA championship in the long history of football competition at the college. The game played in wind swept Memorial Stadium before some 7,000 chilled fans saw a grim and determined band of warriors from Durham take 'their first game from the Aggies in the p*ast 7 years. It was this grimness which impressed the Turkey Day crowd, for it was evident from the beginning that the Duriiamites knew where they were going. Sticking to the groimd for the entire game, passing just once in each frame, Herman Riddick had put all of his hope in tiis ground gaining backs of Amos Thornton, Jerome Evans and Linwood Johnson, easily the stars of the game. A lot of credit goes to Albert Montgomery, Gas tonia, freshman, quarterback who field generated his team to victory. In addition to the yard age piled up by these fellows, it was the outstanding kicking of Montgomery, who kept the Ag gies fighting in their own terri- I tory most of the way. It took a freshman quarter back, also to get the Aggies mo ving. Howard Battle, a Rocky Mount youngster, was called in during the late stages of the fourth period to get his team in action. But the rally he inspired was much too late to pull the game out of the fire. The Eagles hit the scoring column early in the first quarter as William Hollingsworth kicked a beautiful 25 yard field goal from an angle. After taking pos session on the Aggies’ 46 yard line, they made three consecu tive first downs featuring the hard running of Amos 'Thomton, the North Carolina College hatf- back.
