TRACK MEET
The inaugural State Track
and Field Championships
sponsored by WTVD here last
week at Duke was a success
ful meet. Despite the fact
that the meet was held dur
ing mid-week in the early
afternoon and the slight rain
fall on Wednesday, the cali
ber of competition was tops.
Open to all the colleges in
North Carolina, some 14
schools throughout the Tar
heel State participated in the
two-day competition.
The battle for the team
championship went down to
the wire in both the fresh
man and varsity categories
UNC managed to edge North
Carolina College 50 points
-•to 46H in the freshman di
vision and the Duke varsity
was able to hang to a 47-45
win over the NCC thinclads
in the varsity competition.
With the absence of Duke's
Dave Dunaway, Erwin Rob
erts was far the most out
standing performer in the
varsity competition. Roberts
breezed to a first place finish
in the 100 and 200 yard
dashes and anchored the rec
ord setting 440 relay team
With his team still in the run
ning for team honors. Roberts
was called on to run the last
leg on the mile relay team
His efforts was in vain how
ever, because Duke finished
third in the event while the
best the Eagles could do was
fourth.
Freshmen participants also
turned in some remarkable
performances. Robert Be a
mon of A&T College was
named the most outstanding
performer in the first-year
competition after winning 3
first places, one second and
running on the 440 relay team
which tied for first. Beamon
won first place in the broad
and triple jumps as well as
the 220 yard dash and fin
ished second in the 100.
REVISED FLANS MAY
HELF NEXT YEAR
The associates at WTVD i
have already starting laying
plans for next year's run offs.
With a few minor changes,

j the second edition may be
I more meaningful to the pub
lic. For example, holding the
j meet on Saturday may draw
j a larger crowd Also another
| plan worth thinking about is
I permitting an athlete to com
pete in higher competition if
he so desires. Take Beamon
j for instance, if he had been
I able to participate in the
! varsity division of the meet,
j this may have been another
| highlight. It narrows down
. to the final judgement of the
; boy. If a freshman thinks he
i can compete against varsity
performances, then let him
I do so but a varsity perform
-1 er entering a freshman event
is out of the question.
This event can become one of
I the top sporting events in our
i state. An outgrowth of the
anual AAU held in Raleigh
each year, it should be con
tinued and Durham should be
the host.
CLAY CALM EVEN
IN TRIUMPH
The usual loud and bois
terous or 1 d heavyweight
champion Cassius Clay changed
his tactics after his fight with
Henry Cooper last Saturday.
Instead of the boastful remarks
after the fight. Clay had noth
ing but words of encourage
ment for the challenger. Not
at one time did he brag about
his punches nor did he ever
shout the statement, "I am the
greatest."
Maybe Clay has decided to
let his fists do the talking from
now on. Since the recent run
in with the Louisville selective
service authority,,.} Clay has
come up with the idea of more
thinking and less talking. After
all, his mouth is going to win
very few if any fights especial
ly with "Uncle Sam."
The champion, who is called
Mohammed AJi because of his
religion, praised his religious
leader first. Then he spoke a
few words of thanks for the
United States government who
may have made this fight pos
sible.
Maybe if Clay had tried this
method in the first place, he
may would have been in better
shape with the Louisville selec
tive service people. Maybe he
has realized atfer a short while,
that talking is not the only
way. because listening, sorr.e
times can be much more valu
able than a short statement
coming from the mouth.
MORE TROPHIES FOR
LOGAN-LEWIS
Durham's Bonnie Logan and
J. D. Le'.vis of Raleigh added
some more trophies to their
cases last week as the result of
winning the singles champion
ships of ATA National Inter
scholastics last week at Wins
ton-Salem. Miss Logan won the
female title while Lewis an
nexed his first national boys
singles title.
Both Logan and Lewis won
the district and state champion
ships of the NCHSAC this year
and to add a national crown is
a salute to North Carolina. Miss
Logan, already one of the top
ranking tennis stars in the na
tion, is just proving her ratings
but for Lewis this was his first
national achievement. With an
other year of elgibility for both
the tennis stars, North Caro
lina is certain to be nationally
recognize in tennis.
