Over Sobers
CONCORD - Late arrival of
the game officials failed to slow
r down the Voorhees College Tig
ers as they romped to a 100-
77 verdict over the Barber-
Scotia College Sabers Thursday
night In the Logan High School
gym.
Bright spot in the Sabers’
defeat was the sparkling play
of Charles Webb who pumped
in 34 points to outdo Voorhees’
vaunted John Mundy who manu
factured 28 points for the win
ners.
Voorhees raced off to an
early 8 to 0 lead, as if to
augur a scoring drought for the
locals. But then the Sabers
came to life and pulled within
two points of the Tigers to make
it an 8-6 count. That was a
close as Scotia got to the ulti
mate victors, however, who took
a 53-35 lead Into the locker
room at halftime.
Poor performance at the foul
line again proved the undoing
of the Sal>ers, as they cash
ed in on only 13 of their 30
charity tosses. Meanwhile,
classy floorwork and deadeye
shooting by Voorhees’ Mundy
and Theodore Chaplin pushed
the Tigers to 47 field goals
against 32 for the Sabers.
Hitting indouble figures for
« the Scotia quint, besides Webb,
were Joe Stone with 18 and John
Watson with 11 points. Chap
lin’s 23 points and John Lyles*
18 markers put them in double
figures, along with "Mundy, for
Voorhees.
The net outing for the B-S

noundly trounced the 31/2-point
favored Dallas Cowboys, 35-3,
The occasion was the Playoff

Baltimore, directed by con
verted halfback Tom Matte as
quarterback, took charge im
mediately and Moore’s score
same after only four minutes
of the first quarter had lapsed.
The passing combination of
Dallas’ quarterback Don Mere

"The World’s Fastest Human,”
from Florida A&M University,
Tallahassee, was halted by Bal
timore’s Steve Stoneb re ak e r
and rooking end, Roy Hilton.
A crowd of 65,659 witnessed

Monroe, playing the best
game of his career, hit 20 of
34 shots from the floor and
eight of 12 free throws for 48
points.
The Rams are now 4-0 in
CIAA competition and 6-1 for
the season. Elizabeth City Is
now 3-3 in the CIAA and 7-3
for the season.
It was a close game until
midway of the second half when
Monroe and Howard (Sonny)
Bidgill led a scoring explosion
that stretched a four-point mar
gin into a 17-point lead in five
minutes.
The Rams, affected by near
ly three weeks of inaction, were
able to muster only a 45-43
half-time lead. The Vikings
trailed by only four points at
the 10:38 mark off the second
half when Monroe and Rldgill
went to work. Ridgill scored 17
of his 20 points in the second
half.
Freddie Lewis, a little man at
5-10, led Elizabeth City with 26
points. Also in double figures
for the Vikings were Oscar
Smith 16, Gary Stubbins 15, and
Richard Todd 14.
Willis Bennett, although on

goal.
The pass-catching effective
ness of Bob Kayes, the Olym

the combination of Baltimore’s

Big man in the attack was

which put the Aggies in busi
ness. He also dumped in 17-

Running Again-Winning
GREENSBORO The A&T
College Aggtes are running a
gain, and winning.
With five straight basket
ball wins in a row. each by a
hefty margin, Aggie fans are
jubilant over recent successes.
For them it Is good news, after
their team had dropped three
opening tilts.
"We had the speed all of the
time,” explains Cal Irvin, the
A&T head basketball coach,
"but we couldn’t run without
the ball.” He said Ineffective
rebound performance, in those
first three games, not only
slowed his guards, the fastest
set he has ever had, but had
pinned them down underneath
the enemy goals, trying to re
cover loose balls.
Return to the fast break, for

been made possible by a fresh

down more and more as he gets
more and more experience. No
body around the Aggie camp
will venture a guess on his a
verage once the season has
come to an end.
Already Gilmer is being com
pared with Charlie Harrison,
the All-time great Aggie re
bounder who, in 1960, led the
nation’s small colleges with
a 24-plus average. But, Har
rison wouldn’t shoot . . . Gil
mer will. He just loves to
‘ ‘stuff” the baskets, Wilt Cham
berlain style.
Since being installed as a
starter just before the Christ
mas holidays, Gilmer has scor
ed in double figures ill each
game, averaging around 12-
pints. It could have been high
er, much higher, but he likes
to pass off, knowing that a good
assist is better than a rushed
and uncertain shot of his own.
Gilmer has a long, gangling
frame, but weights only 188-
pounds. “He’s got the courage
necessary for gruelling and
sometimes vilent combat which
goes on under the baskets, but
he must have more weight,”
says Irvin.
Gilmer Is now on a weight
producing diet which he hopes
will bring him up to 200-pounds
before the season ends.
