Penalized 60 Elizabeth City. — Chowan’s freshman footballers walked in to a hornet’s nest on Friday night when they tangled with the Yellow Jackets of Elizabeth City High School and came a- way on the short end of a 13-6 score. When the dust had cleared, In dian scalps were hanging from the belts of three hard running schoolboy backs. Jacket quarterback Nicky Hilgert was the key man in a smoothly-running split-T attack that ground out 15 first downs against the heavier Chowan line. New Cheerleaders There was lots of excitement among the women students. Everyone was asking: Are you going to try for cheerleaders? This was the result of a notice which was posted on the bulletin boar,i and as a result we had a large response. Nine girls tried out and they were all considered good so it was decided to have all nine rep resent us at our sports events. The list that follows includes: Jean Henry, chief; Wanda James, Agnes Underwood, Bar bara Overton, Chloe Ward, Janet Harlow, Vivian Pugh, Betty Jo Lassiter and Jo Anne White. During chapel exercises, the student body recognized these girls who have promised their support to our athletic program. We know these girls will make fine cheerleaders for Chowan so lets give them our full support. ' Hilgert handled the quarterback- I option like a pro. He handed off to his pile driving fullback. Jay Adlett, for shots up the middle. He ran off tackle on the keeper play. He pitched out to All-Con- j ference half back Billy Burgess I who slashed around the Indian i flanks for a total of 61 yards. I In the first period the Braves I recovered a Jacket fumble on I the Elizabeth City 30. Six plays later Morgan drove into the end zone for the first score of the game. Hogan’s attempt to pass for the extra point was no good. With Burgess, Aydlett and Hil gert carrying, Elizabeth City moved 67 yards in nine plays for a score. Aydlett went over from the two as the quarter ended. In the third period, starting from their own 32, the Jackets moved across the Chowan goal racking up four successive first downs along the way. Billy Bur gess, a twisting, powerful run ner, sparked the drive with two runs of 12 yards each and an eight-yard off-tackle jaunt for the TD. Burgess also converted with Hilgert holding. The Little Braves with only eight days of practice under their belts, never gave up. They moved the ball consistently and but for a couple of penalties and fumbles that came at the wrong time it might have been a diffe rent story. John Hogan, from New Bern, did a good job of quarterback ing the Braves, and Clyde Mor gan, Jimmy Duell, and Law rence Kearson ran the ball well. In the line Gary Henman and Center Joe Sawyer were defen sive standouts. The Starters jliz. City Chowan LE Dellenger Bean LT Saunders ....

All Students who love the out door type life! when fall turns all the leaves to various shades of red, brown, and gold, it is wonderful to wander in the woods and take in all the beautiful scen ery. To add to this fun, why not try horseback riding? 'This sport is both wonderful exercise and great fun. We have been striving to get a class in horsemanship on the cam pus of Chowan College. So far there has not been a sufficient number of students wanting this class to justify offering it. Maybe if more students knew more about the sport there would be a greater number interested in it. There is so very much about horieback riding to tell that we can only scratch the surface in this article. Horseback riding can give anyone many hours of of unequall ed pleasure. In riding a horse you learn the feeling of really accomplishing something, as mastering a horse and making your will his will is really considered an accomplish ment. Learning to love and care for a horse gives a person a feeling of usefulness that most other sports do not give. When you finish with most other sports you are finished, but after a ride on a horse there is grooming to be done as well as feeding. That’s where the useful ness comes in. A horse can not feed himself and is therefore always depending on you to provide love and care for him. Last but not least is, that through horseback riding you make a friendship that will really last. When a horse trusts you and learns to love you. he will always be faith ful friend. He will be even ready to give you those hours of pleasure riding on long wooded paths, or even in a show ring. If anyone is interested in seeing this sport offered on the Campus of Chowan College, please go to the Dean’s office and sign up. We be lieve you will really be glad you did, as everyone who has tried horseback riding even once is al ways eager when anyone asks them to ride again. So if you think you would like to ride, go and sign up real soon. Sign up for—Horseback Riding! Fifty Men on Grid Squad The Chowan Brave’s football squad has around 50 men, all of which have been showing good possibilities so far. Of the fifty, there are twelve returning from last year.

Young, halfback; Bill Steel, halfback; Harold Smith, fullback; Dick Kent and Carl Wimbush, guards, Collins, Warren, Parker, Young, Smith and Steel are let- termen.

Holland, quarterback for the Pirates, passed to Dennis from the forty-five yard line in the second quarter. Dennis ran a- bout forty-five yards for the first touchdown. Later, in the third quarter. East Carolina’s halfback Pat Draughon crossed the line for touchdown number two. It happened again in the last period when the Pirates sent Fritz Tanner on a long winding run to the goal line. The starting Braves were as folkws: Halfbacks, Jimmy Duell and James Foster; Quarterback, John Hogan; Ends, Phil Collins and Jerry Bean; Guards, Bobby Cotten and Gary Henman; Cen ter, Pat Warren; Fullback, Har old Smith; and Tackles were Kerry Carawan and Jim Wood ruff. Other Braves who appeared in the game were Clarence Lup ton, Lawrence Kearson, Bill Steel, Joe Dickerson, Jimmy Al ston, Joe Bland and Clyde Mor gan. Harold Smith gave the Pirates several threats, but never quite made it to the line. Jimmy Du ell, James Foster, and John Ho gan also looked good in the of fensive plays of the team. The Pirates starterjs were Halfbacks Glen Bass and Pat Draughon; Ends, Hilton Wool- ard and Bucky Dennis; Tackles, Joe Louis and Leroy Singleton; Guards, Wayne Davis and Dav id Rogers; Center Burt Harrell; Fullback, George Slaughter; and Billy Skeeter played quater- back. Some men and maybe some women would rather give up a tooth than utter a compliment, and that may be why they are toothless. In The Battle Of The Sexes, as in (he battle of earning a daily living, money counts.
