(BY YE OLE SCRIBE)
The rafters will jump, the fans will scream and the
thermometer will run a hot box here next Wednesday night
when the Eagles and A. and T. draw swords in the North
Cabolina College Gym. One thing.is certain there will be no
loafing by either team. Fans are always willings to shell out
their cash for any kind of meet between the Eagles and the
Aggies because they know every minute will be packed with
tenseness and thrills galore.
Alreati^ they are talking about the Marciano-Charles
heavyweight bout scheduled to come off in June. Charles
has a chance to do in heavyweight circles what has never
been done, and that is regain his crown of the world. Old-
timers although saying he won’t do it are keeping their
lingers crossed and their tongues in their cheeks. Charles
supporters say that the former heavyweight champion is go
ing to write a new chapter in the history of heavyweight
fighting. My name is Chess, not Bess,, I ain’t having nuthing
to do with that mess bruther. I am going to sit this one out
out on the sidelines.
The Fayetteville Broncos were really hot here last
Thursday evening, or was their opponents just cold, when
ihey met the Virginia Seminary of Lynchburg. The Broncos
rolled up a total of 108 points agfunst the Virginians. This
sounds to me like the highest score made by a CIAA team
this season. Or is it?
Keep your ears to the ground the Durham Bulls may
sign a Negro player for next season. The time is right, ripe
and ready. If they do the turnstile will click with more
rapidity than heretofore and for the first time in many sea
sons tan fans in the Bull City will show some interest in local
league baseball.
Wft gave Sam Jones, North Carolina College’s star for
ward the name “Sad” Sam Jones? It appears to us that the
only thing sad about that boy or his playing is that exhibited
by players on opposing teams when they see him walk on
the court.

points and Tom Mitchell, cen
ter, who connected for 14.

Ezzard Charles Earns %(AHM
In Bob Satterfield Fight But
Gets Rocky Marciano Bid In June
CHICAGO
The two round victory Ez
zard Charles won so convin
cingly over Bob Satterfield
here this week, won the ex
champion not only $8,644.40
for the four minutes work but
a real chance at big money
with a strong bid from the
Marciano camp.
Immediately after the fight
it was announced that Charles’
managers will meet with
James D. Norris, Internation
al Boxing Club president and
Al Weill, manager of Rocky
Marciano in New York to dis
cuss a defense by Marciano
against Charles for next June.
And according to Traman Gik-
son, I. B. C. secretary, tke
bout would probably be at tkc
Polo Ground or tke Tankee
Stadium.
Weill in New York thought
Ezzard had really clinched a
June shot at Marciano’s crown.
Ezzard might do one or two
tuneup fights in March,
thougth Truman Gibson, if the '
fight with Marciano turned
out to be the end of June.
Meanwhile, defeated Satter
field added his praise to Es-
zard’s growing circle. Re
thought the former champ a
great puncher, natch, and pre
dicted he would regain tbe
title.

But for the inspired play of
the “Broncos” duo, William

Seminary cage tilt on Tuesday
evening, January 14, might have
been an entirely different story,

rare form and went on to dump

Bonner is the Broncos Captain.
The Galnesmen got off to a
somewhat slow start against
the Virginia basketeers who
put up a terrific fight through
out the first period, but it was
not in the book for them to
take that game. Once the vlc-
4tory-hungry Broncos got their
eye on the basket they put
sm(ike.in the visitors’ eyes and
went on to “make-em” from
all angles of the court.
The spectators saw Coach
“Gus” Gaines clean the bench.

well out of hailing distance.

the evening, was outstanding

However, several formidable
