Pin 5-4 Defeat On Shaw University
Bears In 16 Innings To Cop Title
GREENSBORO
The A and I" College Aggies
last Monday (May 16) captur
ed the CIAA baseball cham
pionship with a 5-4 victory over
Shaw University of Raleigh In
a 16 inning thriller played here
at Memorial Stadium, and com
pleted under the lights.
The -climax of the crucial
game which had the largest
crowd of fans sitting on the
edges of their seats for 5 hours,
came as Willie Bryant, Aggie
rightfielder, crossed home plate
with none out In the bottom of
the 16th. On a long fly by Wal
ter Parker, Bryant started the
stanza with a ringing single to
center and he ended up on tliird
following a two base error on
the play.
It placed the Aggies back in
to the team’s almost unusual
championship routine. The lo
cals had won the conference
chamjSionship five times in a
row until last year, when Mary-
^land State College of Princess
Anne eked out the title by a
single game margin. It was
equally as close for the home-
towners in that only a few per
centage points separate the two
_teams this year. Both teams had
dropped two, but the Aggies
have p^yed more games.
Malvin Searcy, Aggie south
paw from nearby Summerfield,
was the winner. He relieved
Keith Rustin in the top of the
eighth frame after Rustin gave
up two triples in a row, tieing
the game and sending it into ex
tra innings. Searcy struck out
two and got the third out with
an easy roller to third. He
struck out the side in the niiit^
and held the big Raleigh guns
in check for the rest of the
scrap.
The losing pitcher was Carl
Walker who relieved Miller
Cunningham in the fatal six-'
teenth. Cunningham pitched
flawless ball for the six innings
following the ninth, allowing
no hits but the 15 total innings
was enough for the little trick
artist. He allowed Just 7 hits
during his 15 inning stint.
Both teams threatened in the
second half of the record
breaker, both having men on
third, but neither was able to
push across a run until Parker
brol^e up the clash.
Shaw picked up 13 hits dur
ing the game, scoring one run in
the first, 2 in the fourth and one
in the eighth. The Aggies got
one in the first, one in the third,
2 in the sixth and the final tal
ly in the sixteenth.
Hampton Takes CIAA 32nd Annual
Championship Tennis Matches
North Carolina College’s net-
tei:« couldn’t get further than
the semifinals in the singles'
and doubles played in the

ship, tennis matches at North
Carolina College last week.
Coach Herman (Buck) Neil-
son’s Hampton Pirates paced by

about as the drawings indicat
ed. Blake was the top seeded
star in the singles followed by
teammate Bill Mcmroe,^ second
NCC’s Joe Alston, third, and
Leon Bowser of Morgan, fourth.
In singles play, Blake nudged

tion yet to be answered. But it
has been persistently echoed in
tcuaes that could hardly call
ed whispering that A1 Weill,
the manager of the so-called
Brockton, Massachusetts Block
Buster, isn't at all keen about
matching the “Rock’' with
Moore.
Jhe reason is obvious. The
light-heavyweight king is not
only a full grown heavyweight
with a punch, but he is one of
the smartest and cleverest
fighters in the ring today, and
a smart fighter with a punch
might take the lumbering Mar
ciano into camp. This is parti
cularly so since the Marciano
nose has proven to be so dan
gerously brittle.
Harry Grayson in an article
entitled "Baker Next Opponent
for Rocky? makes clear that
there is a likelihood that Moore,
the logical contender, may be
given the run around and an op
ponent less formidable chosen
when Rocky next defends his
title.
Says Grayson “Archie Moore
will be prominently mentioned
as a prospective opponent
until the ancient one (Moore)
practically cuts off a leg to do
175 pounds for Bobo Olson at
the Polo Grounds, June 22.”
"It difinitely will be announ
ced that big Bob Baker has
t>een selected as Marciano’s
next victim at Yankee Stadium
in the fall.”
“Weill,” the writer says,
"hopes Olson will eliminate a
weakened Moore, who a few
evenings back weighed 196 and
one-half pounds winning a 15
round decision from Nino Val
des, then No. 1 pretender.”
He says that Weill not inten
ding to have the Rock’s nose
“worked over by an incredible
cutie like Mpore will be by
passed for Baker whom he
knocked out in March of last
year." This despite the fact he
(Moore)“has never lost to a
heavyweight and has beaten
everybody on two legs for five
years.”
Andy Graham, brilliant NCC
senior miler, ran the second leg
of the historic mile that saw the
Eagles place second at the Caro-
linas AAU trt Raleigh last week.
Plagued by injuries this season,
Graham is likely to return to
national competition after the
coming early summer events.
Jim Courtney, Eagle sprinter,
is likely to represent NCC and
the, CIAA at the NAIA meet in
Texas next month.
