Croket was a standout in almost
anything he trietf. During his
reigf! at Li|!Oa he accumalated
letters inr all the sports.
Presently, at the University ol
Minnesota he is using his 5 feet
ten inch frame that packs a 192
pounds of lighting speed to get
him a starting berth in the
Gopher lineup.
Crockett, who played in the
halfback slot in high school, it
doing the sanoe at the Univer
sity of Mlnmesota. Only a
sophomore, this talented North
Carolinian is expected to be a
great asset to Gophers in the
future.
Crockett is the second Tar
heel to venture to Minnesota
in recent years. Remember in
1959 when Shelby product Bob
by Bell went to Gopher Land?
Sonae members »f the Big Ten
wish that he had never come
However, he is there. Perhaps,
with Bell blazing the trail
Crockett can follow his .path.
At any rate, don’t underrate
because of his weight. Min
nesota officials are amazed at
the w*y Crockett will ottempi
to tackle any thing with hi£
size. All it takes is determine
tion. And believe me, this boy
has it and a lots more.

Cassius Clay
LOS ANGELES — Cassius
Clay may have some worries
when he meets Archie Moore
here Nov. 15, but they won’t
be about money. A group of pro
mlnent businessmen, most of
them from his hometown of
Louisville, Ky., have taken care
of that matter with a contrac
unprecedentec^n boxing an
nuals. ^
It all started when the then
18 year old Clay returned to
Louisville from the 1960 Olym
pics with a gold medal and a|
hunger to be a professional j
heavyweight. Some local busi
ness executives liked Clay’s I
show of confidence and believed
he had a bright future with the
right kind of training, manage
ment, and financial backing.
Before long the group offered
Clay a contract providing not
only for his trainirrg and manage
nuent, but also financial secur
ity during and even after his
ring days.
Clay signed and received an
immediate payment of $10,000,
a guarantee of an additional
$4,000 in each of the first two
years, and $6,000 in each sub
sequent year if his earnings are
under that figure. In addition,
a portion of his earnings goes
into a trust fund for his bene
fit when he reaches age 35 or
retires from the ring. Only
when Clay’s earning exceed
$6,000 does the group get a re
turn on their investment, and
even then they pay for all his
expenses.
Undefeated as a pro, Clay goes
into the Moore fight with an
unbroken string of 15 victories.
On hand recently to discuss
the business aspects of Clay’s
bout with Moore was William
S. Cutchin?, "president of Brown
and Williamson Tobacco Corp.
and a member of the backers
executive comfrnmittee. After
watching Clay work out in a
Los Angeles gym, Cutchins com
mented. “Clay has be«» point-
tnr to' ^is mateh for a long
time, and I believe he will
winn.”
Sharing this confidence are
other members of the soonsor-
ing group, including William
Faversham, Jr., vice president,
Brovvn-Forman Distillers Cprp^
who also serves as Clay’s man
ager; Patrick Calhoun, Jr.,
former chairman, American
Comnvercial Barge Line; W. L.

Non-Conferenc€ Vicfory Was 100th In Riddick's Career As NCC Eagles Grid Coach
North Carolina College’s Her
man H. Riddick has won many
football games in his high
school and collegiate career, but
none came any sweeter than the
2.'5-6 victory his Eagles punqhed
out over Morris Brown College’s
Wolverines here Saturday on
NCC’s O’Kelly Field.
The sweetness of this particu
lar win for Riddick was that
he hit the century mark in col
legiate wins. The “Dean of the
CIAA Coaches’ has won 100
games hi eighteen years at the
helm of the Eagles, while los
ing 48 and tieing 11.
I NCC’s win was the sixth of
I the season for them, against one
loss. In Central Intercollegiate
I Athletic Association play, the
. Eagles are 4-1.
I Quarterback Richard Hicks
found the waiting arms of half-,
back Connie Boykins with a pass
In the flat on the Eagles' 46 on
the first offensive play of the
game and the lanky speedster,
behind good blocking, raced 54
yards for the touchown. The
try for the extra point was wide,
and NCC had a 6-0 margin.
After the opening scoring
burat, both teams settled down
to hard-nosed football for the
rest of the quarter.
In the opening minutes of the
second quarter Morris Brown
recovered an NCC fumlble on
the Eagles’ 24. Morris Brown’s
Calvin Thomas rambled to the
iV and two rushes later the
Wolverines weye on the Eagles’
nine. Hicks intercepted MB
quarterback Samuel Hill’s aerial
on the one foot line to squelch
the threat, and the Eagles
took over. Neither team threat
ened the rest of the way, and
NCC nfflintalned their 6-0 lead
at halftime.
Riddick’s Eagles came back in
the third period with a solid
ground attack that netted them
two touchdowns and put the
ganve out of sight for the vis-

FAYETTEVILLE — The
Broncos of Fayetteville State
Teachers College remained un
defeated in conference comptl-
tlon but failed to bring home the
winning tally against the Pir
ates of Elizabeth City State
Teachers College in Its 1962
Homecoming Game.
James Norman, Bronco star
Right Half, carried the ball re
peatedly for large gains that put
the Broncos in scoring position
time after time. However, fate
was against the home team on
every scoring try. One drive by
the Broncos was stopped on the
two yard line with a fumble,
another caused by a penalty and
another on a miss cue by the
quarter back.
The tough Bronco defense
showed why It is still one of the
top rated defense in the con
ference as it smothered the con
ference leading ground gainer,
Horce Jones, for large losses and
atymied the Pirates every of
fensive try. All through the
gam* the visitors had to kick on
third down to avoid the on'
slaught of the vicious Bronco
line.
The home teaam beat the
victors in every department
but scoring *nd had to settle
f«r a tie score. If there was one
bright Q>ot la the entire game,
ft was the Bronco defensive
line play.

St. Augustine's
Takes Advantage
Of Ram Errors
WINSTON-SALEM — St.
Augustine’s College, capitalizing
on a series of Winston-Salem
mistakes in the 4th quarter de
feated the Rams 16-14 here in
a CIAA contest.
The Falcons, behind 14-8,
started from their own 30, and
with the help of three 15 yard
penalties at crucial spots, kept
the drive alive until Morris
Smith hauled in an 18 yard
touchdown toss from quarter
back Robert King.
Leo Williams passed to Ed
ward Chester for the two points
conversion which won the game
for the Falcons.

again ntoments later when King
tossed a screen pass to Robert
Headen who raced 65 yards for
the touchdown.

ing column, strangely enough,
with a safety of their own. St.
