Promising Year For '^Braves
rr
By “BLUE" SHARBER
Last year our football team
didn’t have a very impressive
record, with three wins and
seven losses. The record wasn't
very good, but the boys did play
better than the record shows.
So far this year our boys
haven’t played up to their high
est potentials. Even though they
have lost three games they still
have a good possibility of hav
ing a winning season, according
to Coach Jim Garrison. This
year’s team has more potentials
than last year’s club because
it has more depth and better
talent.
In the first two games the
Braves played fairly good ball,
although the timing was off.
Team spirit has not been as
strong as it should be. Good
team spirit makes the boys give
a little extra effort toward win
ning.
In football there are ten let-
termen back this year.
Basketball
In basketball we should have
a much stronger team than last
year. The only two players who
returned are Alton Lowe and
James Albright. Clarance Nick-
les, William Ivey, Mike Graffeo,
Allen Autrey, George Oakley,
Phil Parker, Joe Crawford,
Bobby Hunter, Harry Griffin,
and several others, are expected
to help make up a winning team
this year. The record last year
was four wins and 18 defeats.
The games are in the process
of being scheduled now, and it
is expected 24 will be played
this season.
Baseball
Last year’s baseball team was
the only team which won more
games than they lost. The rec
ord was eight wins and seven
defeats. Our best pitchers, Alton
Lowe and Tommy Winston, re
turned, along with nine other
players. Seven of these eleven
are lettermen. There is a very
good possibility of winning the
conference championship this
year. Practice for the pitchers
and catchers will probably start
the last of February, and the
remaining players will start the
following week.
Other Spoils
It is not known what is to be
expected of our track, tennis,
and golf teams, because it is
too early to know. Returning
this year are about eight track
members, one tennis player and
no golfers. Last year’s records
were not very impressive, but
we hope to have much better
teams this year. Practice for
the latter sports has not yet
started.

In this informal column, the
writer is primarily interested
in the simple way of expressing
his views and ideas on the
Chowan College campus.
I hope the “Bull Sessions”
that are going on in the do
mains of the students could
prove to be one of the more
vital things in our college life.
The pastor of the Meherrin Bap
tist Church, said this recently
in the chapel program.
These sessions can prove to
be very interesting, too. Here
is some of the remarks over
heard in the dorms: “Man, I
think I got that girl from Spring
Hope really snowed. I saw
her in the library the other
night and all at once I found
myself talking with her. She's
dating some ‘cat' in Wilson but
nothing is really serious. You
know man, I think I got it
made.” Later on as you go
down the hall, you might hear
something of this nature.
“Hey Tom, you think ole’ Casey
Stengel will be dropped from the
Yankee organization this
year?" Then Tom answers back,
“Listen. He’s got plenty of years
ahead of him before the front
office gives him the thumb."
The boys in the next room
were guessing whether the fans
of State College will let their
mascot, Lobo the Wolf, out of the
cage and let him get Carolina's
mascot, Rameses the Ram,
when the two teams met in
Chapel Hill on October 3rd.
“Go Wolfpack."
After everyone has put in his
two cent's worth, some guy
comes in and asks the noble
question of all; “Can you tell
me if it is enivitable to take
the colloquial statement of high
er education and develop it into
some forane place.” Such a
question is wasted in the dorm.
What about Miss Crouch and
her physical education classes?
With her able direction and gui
dance, I hope that they prove to
be No. one in this part of the
country. They’d better enjoy it
now; when winter comes along
and snowball season starts,
there will be plenty of sore
arms. So exercise every day
girls.
How about the new cafeteria.
The place is really great. One
thing I'm waiting to see. What's
everybody going to do for shel
ter when it comes a nice Caro
lina rain? Last year we waited
comfortably in the hallway
leading into the cafeteria. Out
of the rain and cold weather.
But this year? Let's just wait
and see. Mrs. Beaman and her
staff have been serving some
fine meals so far this year.
You guys that gripe about the
food! Well, this town has cafes
and restaurants that will serve
you. Sure, you'll probably get
the same thing we have here,
but we’d rather see you satis
fied than to gripe about it.
Who is the most popular guy
on the campus? A strong vote
goes for the boy from Pitts
field, Maine., John Hamilton.
Yep, they are always waiting
in line when John comes in with
the mail. Why he might be the
Postmaster General some day.
I think the new lights on the
campus will serve their purpose.
If you have the intelligence to
notice the fine things in life you
will understand why they ere
here. They help beautify the
campus at night, man.
Fellow car owners, cur vehi
cles are a privilege here at
Chowan. Let’s keep them In the
assigned places and drive them
like sane people. It we do thil,
we will have no trouble what-
so-ever. A few can make it very
hard for all the rest if they are
not careful.
