Eagles Turn

Basketeers
By EARL MASON
Times Sports Editor
With all five starters scoring
in double figures, the North
Carolina College Eagles de
feated the Virginia Union Uni
versity Panthers Sat u rday
night, 82-76 in a Central Inter
collegiate Athletic Association
game played in the R. L. Mc-
Dougald Gymnasium.
The win for the Eagles, their
seventh against two losses,
avenged an 80-78 setback to t,he.
Richmond, Va. quintet earlier
in the week. All of the games
for the Eagles have been
against conference foes.
Coach Floyd Brown's cagers
moved out to a comfortable
47-31 halftime lead but had to
stave off several gallant scor
ing threats by the visitors in
the last seven minutes of the
loosely played encounter. NCC
never trailed in the game but
Va Union narrowed NCC's 16
point halftime lead to five
points with 7:30 left in the
game, but Roy Killens scored
a couple of quick baskets at
this point to up the lead to
nine points with six minutes
left.
Lee Davis emerged as the
individual star for the home
standers, leading NCC in the
scoring and rebounding depart
ments. Davis, a 6-7 sophomore
from Raleigh, score 21 points,
15 in the first half and gradded
17 rebounds.
Ted Manning, who holds the
all time scoring record for
NCC, ha an extremenly cold
night from the floor. The 6-4
senior from Baltimore hit on
only four of 20 shots from the
field and finished the night
with 18 points. This was the |
season's lowest point total for
Manning who now has scored
1.827 points in his four year
career at the institution.
The old record of 1,770
points was held by Sam Jones,
now a super star for the world
champion Boston Celtic*. Jones
oompiled his record during the
1951 54 and the 1956-57 sea
sons.
Union's hope for winning
all but went down the drain
when the visitors lost their
number one scorer, Michael
Davis. Davis, a 6-4 freshman
from Broooklyn, N. Y., who
ranks among the top ten scor
ers in the small college divi
sion, was ejected from the
contest with 15 minutes re
maining for committing a flag
rant foul. Davis was true on -
only three of 16 shots from the
floor but added seven of seven
from the charity line for 13
points, far below his 26 plus
point averase.

of seven men, were forced to

INTEGRATION CLOSER
TO HOME
The singing of Allen Parks
to a Duke University football
grant-in-aid here this week is
only bringing to light that in
tegration is closer to home.
Parks was sought by other
members of the Atlantic Coastt,
Conference including Wake
Forest, North Carolina, Mary
land and Davidson.
This was the first Negro
Duke has signed to an athletic
grant-in-aid but Wake Forest
and Maryland have had Ne
groes playing on their football
team. Wake Forest had two
Negroes on its varsity squad
last season and both boys
turned in remarkable perform
ances in starting roles.
Come September Cladius
Claiborne, a member of the
Duke freshman basketball
team, is attending school on an
academic scholarship, Howard
Stanback, a Hillside graduate
and a Durham lad, will join
Robert Grant and Butch Henry
on the Demon Deacons' team.
Stanback is a tackle.
It was once said by a well
known coach in the Atlantic
Coast Conference that it was
a shame and a disgrace to have
some of the top athletes in
North Carolina. go out of the
state to college because mem
bers of the ACC failed to ac
cept them because they were
Negroes.
It has been reported that
Wake Forest has signed two
more highly publicized football
players. Jimmy Kirkpatrick
and Oscar Polite has inked pa
pers to attend the Baptist in
stitution. Kirkpatrick starred
for the undefeated Myers Park
team of Charlotte and Polite

DON'T BE SURPRISE TO
SEE SOME CAGERS
SIGN TOO
The signing of Parks this
week to a football scholarship
seconds the motion for the
basketball players. No later
thah last Friday, several coach
es from the ACC and South
ern Conference were present
at the Hillside-Laurinburg bas
ketball game.
It has been reported that
Laurinburg's Charles Scott has
signed a grant-in-aid with Da
vidson College and several
coaches from that school were
present at the game including
head coach Lefty Drissell. Also
spyed in the overcrowded gym
nasium was Duke's assistant
basketball coach. Chuck Daly.
The coaches as well as the
spectators saw an offensive
show for their money. Scott
had drawn all the headlines
preceeding the game but Hill
side's John Bullock made the
coaches take a second look. 1
Odd enough, Bullock and
Scott were defensed against
each other and both players
wore jersey number 33. So the
33's put on a show for the peo
ple. Hillside fought off several
gallant efforts by Laurinburg
for a 110-106 win.
Going into the non-confer
ence game, Laurinburg -was un
defeated in seven games and
averaging 103 points per game
while Hillside was unbeaten in
five games scoring at the rate
of 107 points per test. The
difference in„ the.igame was
four points—the exact differ
ence the two teams averages.
It is usually easier to defend
your belief than to live up to
them.

Negro to represent the United
States in Davis Cup play when
he led the U.S. to victory over
