Have
you ever attended a
Camporee? Well you missed a
goo”butdoor program for you
and your boys at Mt. Vernon
Acres. From everyone I see,
they tell me that they had a
good time and learned a great
deal about how a boy can take
care of himself and his buddy
in the woods.
Many thanks go out to Pastor
E. T. ^rowne and his congrega
tion for the use of Mt. Vernon
Acres. Rolling bills and plenty
of woods, that, my friends- ia
where you find outdoor life at
Its best.

Negro Colleges
In Carolina's
AAUTrackMeet
RALEIGH
In winning two first places
and placing second in another
Don Pairley, AStT CoUege hurd
ler, was esisily the outstand
ing performer in the Carolina’s
AAU Track Meet held here at
State College on Saturday- May
21.
The Aggies took third place
with twenty-eight and one-half
points behind Camp Lejeunes
eighty-three and one-half and
Duke University, forty-eight,
in that order, in the historic
meet, which saw Negro colleges
compete for the first time.
North Carolina College at Dur
ham was the second race col
lege participating, placing sixth
with eighteen points.
Fairley won the 400-hurdles
in 54.5, the 220-low hurdles in
24,0 and placed second in the
120-high hurdles behind Joel
Shankle- Duke University who
set a new meet record in 14.5.
Shankle who beat out Fairley at
the Penn Relays during the
spring embraced the latter at
the thrilling finish of the 120-
high hurdles.
Other Aggies placing includ-;
ed: Charles Tisdale, 5th in
javelin Henry Jones, second in
both the 100 and 220 yard dash-
The Debate Waxes Hot As To Who Is The Greatest
Centerfielder In The Major Leagues At Present
Today' there are probably
more |^od centerflelders in the
majoi^s tt^ kt any other time
in the^ recent ^histpr^ of the
game. And whemver there is an
abundance of^ star material,
there is plenty of meat for an
argument. Who is the best all-
around? Who has the best arm?
Is ' Mantle a better ballhawk
than Doby? Who is the better
ballplayer. Mays or Snider? Is
Busby as fast as Bruton?
To try tp help settle the
argument. Sport magazine poll
ed the major league managers
and other prominent baseball
authorities. As a result of the
survey, the current issue of
Sport arrives at the following
rating list:
In the American League:
1. Mickey Mantle, Yankees-
Unlimited potential. Hits with
tremendous power from both
sides of the plate. Strongest
arm among all centerfielders
in the league and ranks on a
par with Busby as the fastest.
Only apparent drawback is his
questionable attitude. _
2. Larry Doby- Indians-Ex-
cellent power and a dangerous
hitter with men on base. Was
once regarded as* a clown in
the field but now ranks with
the best of them on defense. His
catch of Tom Umphlett’s long
drive in Cleveland last year is
called a better one than the
Mays Series catch by Jim Bus
by, who saw them both.
3. Jim Busby, Senators-An
improving hitter with excep
tional . speed, has accurate
es; Samuel Tucker, 5th in 100
yard dash; Herman Daniels, 3rd
in 220 yard dash; Reginald Vic
tor, 5th in 880 and Marvin Wil
son, tied for fifth place in the
Pole vault.
James Courtney of North
Carolina College set a new
meet record of 49.1 in the 440
yard run and placed third in
the javelin throw. His team
mate- H. Davis, won the high
jump with a 6-1 leap and tine
team placed second in the mile
relay behind Camp Lejeune
which made the meet record
time of 3:20-5.
throwing arm and a better
range than any other center
fielder in the league, l^nows
the position very well.
4. Jim Piersall, Red Sox-
Called the greatest glove man
in the majjors- Wonderful base
ball instinct, strong arm and
fast Enough to cover one and a
half positions. Hitting holds
him back.
5. BiU Tuttle, Tigers-The
brightest young prospect among
the centerfielder. Only in his
second year- runners already
show marked respect for his
throwing. Hitting tailed off last
year to .266 after a fine start.
6. Johnny Groth-Jim Riyera,
White Sox-Both about on a par.
Groth plays too deep and Ri
vera goes'to his right much bet
ter than he does to his left.
In the National League:
1. Willie Mays, . Glants-Only
by a whisker over Duke Snider
and .some critics still are wait
ing to see “if he holds up over
the long run.’’ Hitting, throwing
and running cannot be faulted
and has rare ability to charge
grounders and bobble very few.
2. Snider, Dodgers- More
powerful than Mays but isn’t
quite as fast nor does he have
as strong an arm. His support
ers like his experience but his
critics feel he should hit left-
handed pitchers more consis
tently. He is especially adept at
taking long nits off the out
field walls.
3- Gus Bell, Reds-One of the
most improved in the field al
though he still has some diffi
culty going back on balls.
4. Richie Ashburn, PhiUies-
Consistently totals more put-
outs than any outfielder in the
league. Has a respectable bat
ting average. Good bunter and
a fast man on the bases. Arm a
little weak but accurate. Has
led National League outfield
ers in putouts for the‘last six
seasons- twice in assists.
5. Bill Bruton, Braves-lm-
proved hitting to a point Where
he now is an important cog in
Milwaukee attack. Never »was
any question about his fielding.
Covers almost as much ground
as Mays with much less effort,
but doesn’t have Willie’s spark.
6. Frank Thomas, Pirates-
Mo're. familiar with left field
but played center last season.'
Good power (23 homers and
94 RBI), improving fielder.
Ray Graves, line coach of
the Cotton Bowl champions—
Georgia Tech—will be one of
the topflight grid mentors who
will serve as clinicians at the
Eleventh Annual Florida AnM
University coaching clinic June
11-18.

Head Coach of Basketball- Foot

partment. In September of 1947
the Coaching Parson came to
the Durham school directly

three major sports, his overall
record shows 65 wins, 17 losses,
and 2 ties in football; 145 vic
tories and 62 losses in basket

in basketball, with three con-
secutives which include 1952,
1954- and 1955.

The 1954-55 athletic season is
by far his biggest all round
years where the spectators saw
his football team go through
an undefeated regular season of
ten straight losing only a
19-20 decision in the cham
pionship play off; his basket
ball team ran an almost unbe
lievable record of 23-4, with 15
straights and a capture of the
Bull City Tourney for the 7th
consecutive year. In track, his
team, the thin-clad Hillside
Hornets, have, been undefeated
in their last 19 meets to win
three consecutive state titles.
