Inexperience and Lack of Height is Biggest
Concern of Fayetteville State '67 Basketeers
FAYETTEVILLE—There is an
air of optimism in the Fayet
teville State College basketball
camp. The Broncos' stock
has soared with the addition |
of a bumper crop of freshmen
plus the return of three start
ers from last year's squad.
Coach Frank P. Robinson's
problems are inexperience and
lack of height. However, Rob
inson visions a winning season.
"We hope to have a winning
year," he said with the empha
sis on "hope", but we'll just
have to wait and see.
The Broncos have only two
players that measure six-foot
five and one of the pair is
a freshman.

North Carolina College Ends
Season With One Victory
GREENSBORO—WiIIie Pear
son, A&T's bread and butter
football player, scored three
touchdowns, one of them on
a 91-yard punt return, to lead
the Aggies to a 19-6 win over
North Carolina College in the
37th annual Thanksgiving Day
game.
More than 8,000 holiday fans
saw Pearson, normally an of
fensive and defensive halfback,
give a command performance
as quarterback when he was
pressed into service to replace
the injured Merl Code early in
the game.
There is no doubt that the
story of A&T's win was Pear
son's performance, but the
junior from nearby Winston-
Salem, got good support from a
fired up Aggie defensive line.
Led by seniors Dennis Home
sley and Elvin Bethea, the Ag
gies' front wall completely
shackled North Carolina's of
fense, stopping the Eagles cold
at one stage of the game on
the one-foot line. /
It was Pearson's 10-yard
scoring run with 11:29 left in
the second quarter that pulled
the Aggies even with the Ea
gles, 6-6.
North Carolina had hit pay
dirt first midway the first pe
riod when quarterback Her
man Mathews threw a 10-yard
scoring pass to halfbock Gil-
A&T Aggies Mentor Worried
About Loss of His Star Cager
GREENSBORO-Yes Virginia, a ]
basketball coach can have four star- !
ters returning and still have prob
lems. That's exactly the situation
faced by A&T's Cal irvin.
"Our big probletfi is cohesive
ness," said Irvin, "and we are behind
schedule in that department. Can
the absence of one player hurt you?
Would the Boston Celtics still be a
unit without Bill Russell?"
The Aggies, defending CIAA
Toupianient champion?, open their
season against Fayetteville State here
December 6. Irvin said he is trying to
find a replacement for Bill Gilmer,
who averaged IS rebounds and 11
points for A&T last season.
"We will really miss Gilmer,"
said Irvin. "He was the boy who gave
us those garbage points, so vital to
the game. We will definitely be ragge
dy at first, but the cohesiveness will
come.

Bert Smith to climax a 44-yard
drive
The Aggies' first score end
ed a 51-yard march. Pearson's
18-yard toss to Tom Blue and
a 13-yard run by Lorenzo
Pearson, Willie's brother, fea
tured the drive.
Willie Pearson's long dis
tance run came with 11:54 left
in the third period. An Eagle
drive stalled at midfield and
North Carolina chose to kick.
The punt sailed to A&Ts
nine from where Pearson
scooped up the ball, dodged
several tacklers and skirted
the sidelines to the end zone.
Three minutes later, the Ag
gies got the ball again on the
Eagles' 28-yard line after North
Carolina's punter Bill Jones
got a high pass from center
and had to heave a short des
peration pass to end Julian
Martin instead of kicking.
A&T took over, and with
Code back in the ball game,
moved to the Eagles' 15-yard
line, aided by a 15-yard penal
ty. Two plays later, Code threw
a short pass to Pearson, who
raced for the score. Blue's
placement kick made it 19-6
and ended the afternoon's
scoring.
The win gave A&T a final
season record of 3-5-1. North
Carolina ended play with a
1-7-1 record.

6-5 Charles Greer of Greensboro,
N. C., 6-7 Vernon Walker of High
Point, N. C., and 6-5 Lonnie Kluttz
of Salisbury, N. C.
livin said the starting nod may
go to Kluttz. "This boy has the
potential to be the best big boy ever
produced in the conference," said
Irvin. "He will score more than
Gilmer, but we don't know about
rebounds."
Irvin also feels that this year's
team may be lacking in depth. Be
cause of a recent NCAA ruling af
fecting colleges with 1250 or more
male students, A&T freshmen will
not be able to play varsity ball.
"We are about the same height as
last year, but we won't have as much
depth," said Irvin. "Maybe by the
end of the season we will have a
good team."
Other candidates for the team
are Larry Dunn, Raleigh, N. C.;
Bill Hines, New York City; Nathan
Pettus, Philadelphia; and Stanley
Turner, Greensboro.
