to increase public understanding
and support of the Head, Heart,

Of the 2,302,000 club youths,
347,400 are colored. They reside
mainly in the South, and are en-
rnlled in 6,717 clubs served by
40.000 older youth and adult lead-
ev.

arres of corn, pr'anuts. soybeans,
cotton, and tobaccp. 25,000 acres

Nearly 7,000 carried tractor
maintf'nance as one of their pro
tects last yfear; others beautified
their lawns, improved their homes,
made clothini?, prepared meals,
and conserved food.
Increasingly, 4-H’ers are carry-
inc projects in electricity, includ
ing the reoair ofelectric motor and
other equipment ebout the hpme
and farm.
Ih recent v^ars n few 4-H club
vouths have electrified hand mow
ers. convertine them into power
mowpr.s. Anione the first to efectri-
fv a hand mower was 18-year-old
MacArthur West of ClarksviUo,
Tenn.
MacArthur’s mower plus a nurti-
ber of other projects earned him
a trip to the Regional 4>H Club
Camp at Howard University last
year.
The youth learned how to con-
vert mowers at 4-H meetings
where his county agent, John R.
Branham, conducted a series ot
demonstrations in attaching dis
carded electric motors to lawn
mowers, and in electrifying other
equipment for farm and home.
MacArthur lives on a small farm
on which he and his fathe^', who
also works at a rubber plant in
town, raise com, hogs, and to-
i)acco. The youth is a high school
senior. He plans to enter college
next year to study to be a biology
teacher.
During National 4-H Club Weeli,
MacArthur and thousands of other
4-H’ers will have some of their
project achievements on display .iri'
their communities. And they will,
also be busy telling the people, lo:
the community about 4-H in wh|cb
young people “learn by doing.” ,
The 4-H program is conducted'
cooperatively by the U. S. Dep^
went of Agriculture and the State
Land-Grant Colleges. The name of
the organization cpmes from its
pledge: “I pledge my Head to
clearer thinking, my Heart to
greater loyalty, my Hands to laraer
service, al^d mv Health to betl
living for my club, my conununi
and my coiptry.”

Josh Gibson
Greatest Hitter,
Says Satch Paige
PHILADELPHIA — If Satchel
Paige were rating hitters, he would
place Josh Gibson, former Pitts
burgh Crawford star,, ahead' of
Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and
Stan Musial,
The Satch, whom some regard
as the greatest pitcher—Negro'or
white—of all time, says that Gib-
' “flOn was the world’s greatest catch
er and hitter.
His appraisal is made in the
current (March 11) issue of The
Saturday Evening Post and Paige
feels that “Josh could have hit
more home runs than Babe Ruth
if they’d let him play iii the
majors.” '
Paige’s article, “Maybe I’ll Pitch
Foreyer..”, recalls that this was_t^
era beifore'TNecro players were irt
NCC Eagles Look Potent intheBackfield,ButW^
At Tackle as Spring Grid Drills Get in Full
organized baseball. It tells that
Satch had pitched more than 2000 i
professional games before the Cle
veland Indians signed him, at age
42, an event which made Paige
the American League’s first Ne
gro pitchcr.
Mention of Paige’s age, of
course, brings up a matter of
much disptite. Satch says there is
a birflST certificate in Mobile say
ing he was born July 7, 1906. And
that’s it.
Before coming to the majors
Paige did bave previous pitching
experience against established
stars.. He made one post-season
barnstorming trip against Babe
Ruth’s All-Stars and another year
against the Dizzy Dean All-Stars.
Satch relates that he has been
pitching since he was ten and
l^at he began earning money at
It when he was seventeen.
Once his trusty ri^ht arm went
dead end a doctor told him he was
finished. But the arm came back
and he resumed his career, aided
by some snake oil given him by
Indians when he pitched for Bis
marck. He reports it Has kept his
arm "nice and young.” The recipe
is' a secret, but he might put it in
his will.
And, on that business that he
might pitch forever, Satch reports
that some folks says he has .al
«ady.

“We’ll be avirfully strong in the
back field in 1961, but will have
to build to fill the gaps that will
exist at either tackle or guard,”
warned North Carolina College’s
head* football coach HermSn Rid
dick after watching his squad con
clude their first full week of
spring football practice here.
The Eagle footballers’ com
menced spring grid drills on Feb
ruary 19, but lost three days dur
Ing the p4st \free1t Because of rain
The loss of Nick Jtraldsr, Jas.
Brewington and Regglie Martin,
Who transferrod to th* Univer
sity of Canhrcticut, leaves a big
hole at tackl'^ for the Eagles.
Key returnees aro Frank Gard
ner, Joo Grandy and Elmer Mc
Millan.
The NCC coach admitted that
thcife
^ jssipili „ , , , ^
a ^sfrd or ‘two! rt5'mei)r' ,t!?harle6
‘Bobo” Hinton, the ■ Eagles *61 AH
American candidate, to tackle, but
in doing so, “we’ll be creating a
weakness at guard.”
The key to the strength of our
interior line will come in the ver
satility of the Eagles’ three out
standing freshmen gridders of the
past season. All three of them,
Bobby Gardner. Charlie Watkins,
and Velvet LaGrande, can be used
at more than one spot.
Along the forward wall, other
wise, Riddick indicated that his
club would be pretty well set. In
center, Watkins hold forth along
with Arthur Grier and Jimmy
Barnes challenging for top "bill
ing.
At end, the Eagles suffered only
one loss, Louis Woods, but back in
the fold are Charlie Cox, Robert
Currington, Aaron Martin, Vepi-
on Hatch, and Connie Boykins,
Cox, a regular as a sophomore
this past season, is the No. 1 end
and pass receiver of the pack.
There is little to chooSe between
Curringtpn, Martin,/and Hatch, all
three reputed to be good receivers
Dnd strong defenders.
At quarterback, NCC loses Reg
gie Pryor from the ’60 squad, but
has the deceptive Richard Hicks
and defensive ace Don Thomas
back, leaving the signal-calling In
capable bands.
Oscar Williams, a frosh end last
season, has been returned to his
familiar spot at quarterback in
the off-season drills. Williams
played this position as a regular
for Hillside High School three sea
sons ago.
Riddick stepped up his beck
field power by switching EUirl Mil
ler, a 200-pounder, from right to
left halfback, teaming with reg
ular Richard Wilkins to give the
Eagles power, speed, and drive
at halfbacks. Augmenting this
pair will be Bishop Harris, Henry
Holloway, Robert Evans, George
Canery, Albert Huey, and Joe Na
than Hunter sharing the load as
key reserves wingbacks.
The fullbaciuiig peitOintiiii(:e» in
spring drills have caused the
Eagles’ greying coach his biggest
surprise. “We have a freshman
from Petersburg, Va. who has all
of my fullbacks looking” Riddick
said. The NCC mentor was speak
ing of the performace of George
Belsor, a 210-pound newcomer.
Of course, Belsor must contend
with last year’s No. 1 plunger.
Ray Nobles, known to be fprile a
runner himself, as well as ItraaB
contention from Samuel
and Bobby Blue. ' ■f ^ ,
When queried es to what,
be the biggest problem
ing him during the spring It/SI
sessions, Riddick quickly nefi*i|A
“to strengthen the gap at tackta.’*
