Pre Season Roundup Of College Baseball
The approaching baseball
season promises to boJl good
one for the Cavalier-Tarheel
Conference. Louisburg is the
defending champion and the
conference has not often had
a repeat baseball champion.
Ferrum returns quite a num
ber. of good hitters from the
196*7 team that .was runner.-,
up In the conference. South
wood will be much improved
over last year as will Chowan
because each school has had
an enthusiastic turnout of can
didates. Moimt Olive will have
the leadin^pitcher and the
leading hitter from last year
returning.
Coach Russell Frazier's
Louisburg Hurricanes have
only two sophomores back
from last year, so that will
be practically a freshman
team. Bobby Gunn, pitcher^
from Rpcky Mount, returns
to head a staff that is quite
promising. Gunn, a left
hander, will be joined by
freshmen lefthanders Mike
Arledge, Kevin Hamahan and
Forrest Oakley plus right
handers John Lewis, Darrell
Hagwood, and Bobby Faulkner.
Arledge from Tryon, N.C. Is
a hard thrower and with his
6'5" frame, he should create
some problems for opposing
batters. Hamahan too is a
fastbatter and because of this
strong arm, he will play in
the outfield when not on the
mound. Oakley, from Oxford,
N.C., mixes his pitches well
and has good control. Lewis,
from Portsmouth, Va, is a
fastballer and will be in the
regular rotation. Faulkner,
from Henderson, N.C., is a
curve-baller who must rely
Golfers
Down '
Carolina
The college golf team start
ed their season on Tuesday
with a bang by downing the
Tar Heels at Chapel Hill by
12-6. Leading the way {or
Loulsburg was Captain Jim
Howard with an even par 72.
This topped all scores Includ
ing Monday's varsity match
between Carolina and David
son.
Closing In on Howard was
Harvey Abernethy with a 76,
Dwlght Leadbetter with a 77,
and David Rowland with a
79. This Is the first time
a Loulsburg golf team has
beaten Carolina on their home
course.

on keeping the hitters off
stride. Hagwood, from Bunn,
N.C., has been bothered with
a sore arm and his status
is questionable. ? i .
The defense for the Hur
ricanes looks adequate with
shortstop a problem yet to
be solved. Pat Barrow, from
Snow Hill, N.C., will be at
first base; Bill Currln, from
OxYortt, at second base; Connie
Mack Ward, from Middlesex,
at third base; and Don Mor
gan or Kenneth Wolfe at short
stop. Morgan Is from Raleigh
and Wolfe from Timberlake.
Danny West, from Zebulon,
will handle the catching
chores, backed up by Larry
Oakley of Timberlake. The
outfielders competing for the
job at the present time in
j elude; Jerry .Fisher, from
I Rocky Mount; Heydon Lewis,
from Petersburg, Va; Ricky
Chambers, from Timberlake;
Hamahan, from West Ches
ter, Pa.; and Forrest Oakley.
Ward and West look like the
best hitters at the present
time, and Fisher will be the
long ball hitter on the team.
Ferrum's Panthers will have
a new coach this year, since
Rick Tolley moved to a new
assistant football coaching
position at Wake Forest. Carl
Tacy will coach the 1968
baseball Panthers and will
have a group of fine hitters
returning led by John Penn a
strong outfielder with good
power; and Skip Williams a
fine shortstop. BUI Thomp
son and Dave Phillips will
return to the mound staff.
Early Indications are that the
Infield play will be tighter
and that the Panthers will
have some big guns on of
fense.
Coach Raeford FulgUum's
Southwood Rams has what he
terms as an Improved pitch
ing staff this year consisting of
Eddie Atkins, Tommy Gar
ner, Charles Scott, Richard
Shepard, (Atkins started the
first game against Wlngate
and Shepard the second), Den
nis Bosquet, and Artie Mc
Fayden.
Coach Fulghum states, " Our
strongest point will probably
be our defense." He has Doug
Brown, from Richmond, Va.
at first base; Larry Mea
dows, from Pollocksvllle,
N.C. at second base; Bryan
McNeely, from Richmond, Va.
at shortstop; Bill Barner,
from Mlddletown, N.Y. at third'
base; and Bob Mangum, from
Garner behind the plate. Rus
sell Priest, from Elizabeth
town, N.C. is the back-up
catcher, and John Knight, from
Front Royjl, Va. Is competing
for an Infield spot. In the
outfield;. Robert Chellis, Vir
ginia Beach, Va.; Bruce Wor
ley, Lynchburg, Va.; Robert
Heath, Hampton, Va.; Creed
Mills, Vanceboro, JJ.C.; anc|
BUI Doreski, Hopewell, Va.
are fighting for positions.
Coach Jerry Hawkins had
45 candidates to turn out at |
! Chowan. Among these was one
player from last year's team.
The lone returnee was Wayne
Beale, and outfielder from
Wakefield, Va. There were
three players who played for
the Braves In 1966: Tommy
Brooks, outfielder -from Ox
ford, N.C.; Willie Snyder, cat
cher from Alexandria, V-a.;
and Pete Bryant, shortstop
from Roanoke Rapids.
Freshmen candidates who
have shown promise thus far
are pitchers; Jim Cherwa '
from Virginia Beach, Va.;
John Tebault from Chesa
peake, Va.; Allen Watklns
from Richmond, Va.; andSteve
Hansen from East Bend, N.C.
Outfielders: Ronnie Johnson

Va. Infielders: George Fair
cloth from Lumberton, N.C.;
Doug Roberson from Rocky
Mount, N.C.; Tim Merrltt

jans around returnee Bill

who led last year's team In
hitting with a .321 mark;
shortstops Blenn Parrlsh; and
pitcher Elmer Dlze who won
3 of the four game won by the
Trojans last year. Freshmen
who are expected to strengthen
this years team are catchers
Danny Beamon from Saratoga,
N.C.5 first baseman Richard
Bryant from tSaratoga; and
Outfielder Joe Cox from Gold
sboro. Bryant and Cox will
double as pitchers. Third
baseman Doyce Barnes from
New Hope, N.C. rounds out the
top prospects for the Trojans
who will have to rely heavily
- on . Elmer Dize who is the
only' main stay of the pitch
ing staff.
The Coaches generally ex
pect the experienced Ferrum
club to be the team to beat;
Louisburg to be a contender
because of a strong pitching
staff; and Southwood ^o make
a strong move for the top spot
because of general improve
ment throughout the lineup.
There will be 16 conference
games for each team as con
ference members play each
other four times. The con
ference games are scheduled
on a home and home basis
with doubleheaders played at
each site. Louisburg has 26
games scheduled; Mount Olive
has 17; Ferrum has 17; Cho
wan has 21; and Southwood
31. First conference action
will be Friday, March 22,
when Southwood plays a
doubleheader at Mount Olive.
In action thus far, South
wood dropped a couple of close
games to Wingate by scores
of 3-4 and 1-2. The Rams
then won by a 2-0 count from
Wake Forest Jayvees. Intheir
first conference games at
Mount Olive, Southwood
triumphed by 6-0 and 15-1.

Trojans on 4 hits In the seven

This man can tell
you about
"the good old days" .
W. L. Howell, M.D., of
Ellerbe, was a young man
back in 1910 when he first
hung out his shingle as a
general practitioner. They
were the good old days
when a doctor treated
most patients at home ?
after a brisk horse-and
buggy ride.
"Doc" Howell can tell
you about the good old
days of electricity, too.
Fact is, he was timekeeper
at CP&L's Blewett Falls
Plant his first summer out
of college. Later, he was a
member of the Town
Hoard when electricity
was first brought to
Fllerhe.
Today, "Doc" Howell is
one of the owners of Caro
ilina Power & Light Com-^
pany. His investment in
our Company plus that of
thousands of other share
holders has enabled CP&L
to build a modern electric
system that provides de
pendable electric service
in the home and on the job
? any hour of the day or
night.
In fact, electricity is so
much a part of the fabric
of everyday life it usually
is taken for granted. That
didn't just happen. We
planned it that way. And
we are planning right now
ifor your needs tomorrow.
