Fcrty-Niners Show Hustle,
But Little Scoring Ability
The opening game against Louisburg was dismal.
The Forty-Niners had plenty of hustle but a cold shoot
ing night.
The first fifteen minutes were close but then the
taller and hot shooting Louisburg team began to pull
away. The story is somewhat the same for the game
against Pfeiffer.
The Forty-Niners have a good potential. Their big
problem is to start dropping the shots and polish up their
ball handling. There is a big chance for the team to be
a good one in the North Carolina-Virginia Conference.
The Charlotte College basketball players have more
disadvantages in their individual schedules than their
opponents. Most of the boys, in addition to their class
schedule and studies, hold down full or part-time jobs.
They practice about two hours each night, but some can
practice only two nights a week.
Because their opponents live on campus, they have
more time to practice basketball than do the CC squad.
And players who live on campus and do not hold outside
jobs do not have the strain of those who live off campus,
have jobs, and fight the clock.
The man on the team with the biggest job is Bubba
Rion. Rion is married and the father of two boys. He
works full time at Coca Cola, goes to night school, and
plays on the team.
There has been interest around the college in foot
ball, baseball, and tennis as well as basketball. These
sports and others probably cannot be included in the
college program until the college has dormitories and
can give athletic scholarships.
The first home game against Pfeiffer showed good
attendance. The Forty-Niners looked good during the first
half but fell behind in the second because of bad passing.

Forty-Niners Show More
Promise In Pfeiffer Game
The CC basketball team
looked like the Christians ver
sus the loins in their first
game of the season against
Louisburg.
The Forty-Niners, suffering
from a case of first game lit
ters, fell to the much taller
Louisburg team, 92-47.
There were bright spots,
however, in the game for
CC. These bright spots were
found in Ronnie Greene and
Bubba Rion. Greene scored
22 points in shouldering most
of the scoring load for an
otherwist cold offense.
Rion stood out for his ball-
hawking and assists. In the
second game Monday night.
November 13, CC improved and
played a good first half against
Pfeiffer.
The second game showed
more promise for the team.

Students Participating In The Bond Caravan
Assemble At Phifer Street
Motorcade From CC
Parades For Bonds
^y DWIGHT CHRISTENBERRY
Several drivers nearly ran
off the road, sirens were blar-
ng, crepe paper was flying,
•ind enthusiastic voices were
elling “Vote for the bond.”
A twenty - seven car motor
cade had left the campus of
Charlotte College on a cru
sade for the state bond issue
on November 7.
The cars had been decorated
with red, white, blue (and
pink and yellow) crepe paper
ind with student - painted
signs which urged “vote for
community colleges.” C h a r-
lotte College students who
had decorated the cars were
\Iice Harrison, Beth Groom,
Barbara Blythe, Lloyd Lane,
Gene Horne, Ronnie Blythe,
Dennis Whitaker, and Dwight
Christenberry.
Escorted by two motor
cycle policemen, the p r o-
cess'on traveled at 20 miles
per hour (after all the pro-
cession was following
Ihvight Christenberry, cara
van chairman, and h i s
crowd in a ’31 Ford).
Traffic was held up on
North 29, Dalton, Graham,
Trade, McDowell, Independ
ence Boulevard, and Tryon,
and finally disassembled a t
Phifer Avenue beside Sears.
Several cars continued their
campaign effort at Park Road
and Central Avenue shopping
