Bob Ryan, end, was chosen as an hon orable mention All-American. Bob attended Hermitage High School in Richmond, Va., where he played his high school football. He started playing football, as a tackle, when he was a sophomore in high school, but a broken carti- lege sidelined him after the sec ond game. As a junior in high school, he was moved to the end position both on defense and offense, where he alternated. Hermitage ended that season with a 7-2 record. As Bob's last year in high school came around, he was holding down a position at defensive right end. The team ended the season with a 9-0-1 record, being held to a 0-0 tie, to mark the only flaw in a per fect season. Bob says his greatest thrill in high school was when his team played before a crowd of 14,- 000 people and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. When Bob entered Chowan, he was tried at the end position. He made first string defensive end. and the Braves rolled to a season that was marred by only one loss. That game was the first that Bob had ever played first string and the team he was playing on lost. When Bob reported for football practice late in the summer at Chowan last year he was chosen as a tri-captain along with Jerry Ford and Charles Mason. Bob said that he was prouder of being chosen by the team members as captain than being chosen as an All-American. Besides playing football Bob also likes to play basketball. In his freshman year at Chowan he was a member of the intramural bas ketball championship team. Bob was active in high school clubs and organizations and is ac tive here. In high school he was an officer in the Key Club, a mem ber of the track team, a SGA rep resentative, and a member of the senior council. Here at Chowan he is currently president of the Mono gram Club, member of the football team, recipient of all conference honors, honorable mention All- American. When Bob graduates from Cho wan, he plans to attend either Ran dolph Macon or Guilford College. Braves End Regular Season With A Victory Chowan College ended their reg ular season basketball play Sat urday night by drooping the Col lege of the Albemarle for the sec ond time this season, 77-66. Chowan, after building a 20-point lead in the first half, saw their margin drop to three points at the end of the first half, but bounced back to boost the score in the final quarter. Butch Wolfe, who netted 20 points for the Chowan team, played a big role in rebounding along with Jay Reed, the Braves leading scores and rebounder. Melvin Bow les had 16 points and Don Jackson 13 to complete the Braves record at 7-15 for the season. Herb Adi.ms topped the scoring for the Albemarle Dophins with 22 points. Jimmy Turner added 17 for the losers. The Chowan team will open play in the North Carolina Junior Col lege Conference Tournament Thursday night with Oak Ridge at Louisburg. Chowan 34 43—77 Albemarle 31 35—66 Braves Ranked In Top 20 The January issue of JUCO Re view, the official N. J. C. A. A. Magazine, indicates that the Cho wan College Braves finished in the top twenty in the final NJCAA Football Poll and one team mem ber, Bob Ryan, received honorable mention on the 1962 NJCAA All- American Football Team. Trinidad, Colorado, held the top spot while Northeastern Oklahoma at Miami held second place, Cof- feyville, Kansas, was third. The Chowan Braves, coached by James Garrison and a^'istant coach Jerry Lee Hawkins, finished the season with a 4-3-1 record. A A woman was looking over a fox farm. After admiring a beautiful silver specimen, she asked her guide, “Just how many times can the fox be skinned for his fur?” “Three times, madam,” said the guide with a straight face. “Any more than that would spoil his disposition.” WORKING OUT ON THE PARALLEL BAR '63 Track Schedule for Chowan The 1963 track schedule for the Chowan College Braves was announced this week by Coach Jim Garrison.

Braves Fall to Talented EC Frosh PHOTOGRAPHER MOBBED Chowan’s Butch Wolfe-sparked Braves chipped away a ten point halftime deficit and pulled even midway through the second peri od, only to have East Carolina’s frosh blitz them with a fast-break attack and parade off with an 83-59 victory. The two clubs played on a pret ty even keel during the first ten minutes of each half; but other wise, the Pirates comoletely out classed the smaller Braves. The visitors began to pull away with about nine minutes remaining in the opening stanza, and spent the balance of the half fashioning a 41-31 advantage. Buc forward Bobby Kinnard hit a quick bucket to get the second half rolling, but then Wolfe took charge of the Injun offense. Butch, hitting exceptionally well from the outside, practically single-handed ly sliced the EC lead in half, at 49-43. Chowan then mustered all its strength and hustled up six straight points to deadlock the con test, and when Wolfe popped in the evener, the visitor’s bench signalled for a timeout. From that point on, a strange coldness gripped the Braves, and the polished Bucco fast break toll ed the death knell for the Warriors for the twelfth time this season. The much bigger Pirate forward wall had little trouble in snatching off rebounds and flinging the ball downcourt to a loose guard—and there always seemed to be one in the clear. Jay Reed, who took a little better than a twenty point average into the game, simply didn’t have that sharp edge, and finished with just eight points. Bob Riggs, who had tallied nine teen points in an earlier game with Roanoke, developed early foul trouble, and was able to account for only six markers. Wolfe, though, came through with one of his finer performances, but the supporting cast wasn’t there. Butch collected 24, with fif teen coming in the second half. Neil Hodges led the Pirate attack with 25, and was soundly backed by Kinnard with 19, Jack Yoder with 14, and Jerry Woodside, who swished in 13.
