ji.hnsou C. Smith University, Xonh Carolina A and T College
unJ the host teatu Winston-lialcnj Teachers College make up
the four ttonis.

This writer had the pleasure or misfourtune of sittinf^ be
tween, Ellis Corbett. Public Relations Director of A and T and
Coach Gus Gains of Winston Salem. Novi- anybody else would
knov.’ that this is a mistake to be any where near these two
v.hen A and T and TC are playing. Both are very vocal and
don't mind being heard.
V/hiic talk'ns to Corbett v/e i«t snmc interesting stories
froni hiia. Otic is thet the oiAj fLi.ig that A and T College has
lost in Duirhhr.1 ths laot l’.>;ce yjEjra is a WhoJe lot of time.
Another itory concerns WiiJslon-SaTcsn'a fdfau'ous Cleo Hill,
the natioii's cniall coI!e"c !cr.ilnji scoier.
According to Corbett v.’I:c!i fellov/ coaches v.enl to 'Jew Jer
sey to tty and lure Hill to their school, it is understood that
Hill said if he v.-cnt to any school that they Would have to take
Artlc Johnson, WSTC captain. One coach looked at Hill and
said if Johnson (5* 5”) wears one of my- school’s uniforms he
would quit coa^'hinp. Hill and Johnson wound up it TC.
WtCe on the Hill »isb;eit, prior to the HaUday ToUrnamzht
he was leading the nation’b smull colleges in scorin.r with a 33.6
•cori33 averajrc* Friday ni®ht Aeaiitst Nos-tli Carbliita College
he was held to 14 points csu! on Etturday against A and T he
scared 19. A totd of S3 points for the tournatnent. He’ll have to
&tai't oa another aSorln^ rampage to regain his average, "fhia
fe'Iow can do it he faec every s!;ot in the book and can shoot it
with cithei hand.
Aside from beinjf &. P.olific basketball^.corer, Hill is quite a
dresser. He wears' his pants cut about •oni? foot. He cuts his
sports coats sleeves to the size of a sport shirt and wear^ a
open collar with a loose tie. The cotoTs; many ofem.
A and T College likrs to mvrt giants. The .AfTgies met nnde-
fcated Smith o:: ]'r:i.''v and drrniled them. .Saturday night
arrainst undefeated \Vii:stun-.S.i!eni tl'.cy Knock off r.Uothcl- un

How good is this Teachers Collei;e t»:am? They've added
Charlie Riley cod George Foree to go hlong with Hill, Johnson
and-Monterio^ A Mrtflrata erew. Agirinst tMi^ATmdTT*aiii liilhus
Howell, Attles, Harrison they stumbled.
Coach Floyd Brown, NCC, Wa.s pleased with the performance
of his Eagles, especially the way they fought from a six point
halftime defict to defeat Johnson C. Smith University. The
Eagles outrebounded and outshot the Golden Bulls in the sec
ond half andJhis was good enough for a 76-73 victory ovei*
/ them. Prior to the Christmas holtdavs the Hulls tipfeated NCC
82-70.
Preston Lewis. NCC captain, regained it Starting berth in the
tournament and he really showed his aplirPciatioh for it by
pumping in 22 point:; a^uiiist SInith. I.ewis also g-abbed 18 re
bounds in the consolation game.
SADDEST looking- sight in the Winston-Salem Whitakers
ffj'mnasium during the two days of the holiday tournament was
Durham’s Charles ((itnns) Hrt.wh. former H4Ilsil»* basketball
and tennis star. A fre;:htnan at Winstori-.Saleni Teachers, Char
les is manager the basketball team. M intis a basketball uni
form. lie looked out nf pine*-, and, to thi.s reporter, seemed to
miss being in action. Retntn/rjeriii'j;- him from his high School
’ays. Me got the feeling that liis |)resence in any of the teams'
line-up would have added tc the overall Calibre of plaV. Brown
was lured to Winston-Salem after a three way liattle between
ffampton. NCC and W'.STC for the services.

[These were the worfts Itwi^ uied
to sum up how iiW^gies i^d

pionship honors.

with a record of five wins Ind
one defeat. The Aggies lone loss
came tit the hand,i o^ Prairie Vi6w
in the Georgia Invitational Toufrta-

Friday night and derailed the un
beaten Bulls 85-32 in a thriller to
lain the finals.
The Aggies in winning Inst the
services of their star backcouTt
ice Al Attles. Attles ran into the
ileachcrs and pulled a grohi
nuscle. The Aggies Captain dress-

Irwin said that this was hit

’^oMmrinting further, Irwin said,
‘take tonight’s game. The fellows
iaw that Attles wouldn't be able

The Aggie coach had hig6
>raise for Hank Marshall. Marshal
.vas voted the team’s most valuable
'lUyel*. Irwtn was worried about
fiW'shall at the ktal't of the teiii*-
nailient. This was his first gbitte
siiice ta# had thkt oVir
at Raleigh against Saint Augus
tine. He feared that his 6-5 forwafd
would be a bit gun shy. However,
he dispelled all that thinking with
a spar|tling performance in the
first game and an even better one
in the finals.
When asked who he thought had
the best team in the league, frwlh
sqid that J.'C. Smith Is one uf the
toughest he’s faced all season.
“They have men who are capable
Of breaking your back. You can
not relax against any of them.”
How about the Aggies .chancesT
“We’re trying to make tl^e'tourna
