Blues Held
Team Until
4th Quarter
The homecoming for
Raleigh’s John W. Ligon
High School was ruined
here last Friday night at
Chavis Park by Fayette
ville’s Reid Ross High
School by the score of
26-20, the final score
corning in the fourth
quarter.
However, the bands, played
on, queens were crowned and
the alumnCof Ligon, the form
er Washington High School
cheered them on in their losing
effort.
Ross put together the first
sustained drive early
second quarter and traveled
from their own 30 to the Ligon
six where Larry Murdock took
it over for a 6-0 Cougar lead.
Ligon’s offense faltered af
ter the kickoff and the Cougars
were headed downfield again
with little Joe Evans carrying
three times for 30 yards, in
cluding a six-yard plunge for
Ross’s second score. The half
ended, 14-0.
Ligon came out in the sec
ond half and stopped the visi
tors to take over on their own
30-yard line. After a pair of
off tackle plays that gained
five yards, Ron Burrell tossed
the bomb to speedy Haywood
Ray covering 70 yards for a
touchdown. Frankie Williams
lugged for the two points.
Following the kickoff, Fay
etteville was held on their 20
and the fourth down punt w'as
blocked and covered in the end
zone by A1 Banks for the sec
ond Ligon touchdown. The con
version failed and left the score
knotted at 14-all.
Behind the running of Evans
and Murdock, Ross quickly
moved the ball to the Ligontwo.
Ligon coach Frank Roberts
beefed up the line with 289-
% pounder Leroy Harris and the
* Blues held for four downs and
took over on the one-foot line.
The fourth quarter brought
a dose of their own medicine
to the Blues. Ricky Coleman
uncorked a 43-yard toss to Ev
ans as the Cougars went ahead
20-14.
It was Joe King’s time to
show the way. He took the kick
off and rambled back to mid
field. Just two plays later, King
found Elroid W’hitaker on a 45-
yard strike to knot the score
20-20.
After an interception by both
teams, and some stubborn de
fensive play, Ross drove to the
Ligon 10 with just two minutes
left to play. The Ligon defenses
dug in, but following a penalty
which pushed the visitors back
to the 30, Coleman found Evans
on a post pattern to gain the vic
tory.
“The big play continues to
be our problem,” said Roberts.
“We can’t seem to make them
and can’t seem to stopthe other
team from making them. Our
effort was good in the second
half. We passed up two good
opportunities to score and that
could have made the difference.
We got a good game from both
of our quarterbacks and we
played a pretty good game over
all. The mistakes stopped us.”

CLEMENTS-A SALESMAN FOR SHAW
If someone spotted George Clements on the Shaw Univer
sity campus, they would immediately know that he is not a
salesman for a local clothing store firm or any other mer
chant. However, Clements, who is in his first year as head
coach at Shaw, is a salesman in his own respect.
Clements is trying to sell the football and scholastic pro
grams of Shaw to the high school football players around
the state of North Carolina and over the nation. If he can ac
complish this fete, he hopes to build a football dynasty at
the Baptist University.
“The main point in recruiting is to try to sell myself
to the prospective high school boy. I think if I can get a
bov to believe in me, then he will want to play ball for me
regardless of what school I am coaching at,” Clements
StfttSd
After senuing on the faculty last years at Shaw, Clement
was named head football in the spring of this year. This late
appointment made recruiting a big problem for Clements.
As a result, Shaw brought in only nine frpshmen for this foot
ball season.
INHERITED YOUNG BALL CLUB
I uckily, Clements inherited a young team this year. “We
have 18 seniors on the club. We are a predominate sopho
more and junior team. I was fortunate in this respect because
I was not able to do much recruiting for this. If I had a
senior team this vear, it could spell trouble next year be
cause of our lack of recruiting this year,” the former one
year assistant coach at Shaw reported.
The starting offense unit for the Bears have four seniors,
four juniors and three sophomores, while the first team de
fensive team Is composed of five sophomores and one first-
V(?3.r m2Ln
’’ with 13 ol 22 starring players returning next year, if every
thing goes well, Shaw could be one of the top teams in the CIAA
next year.
BEARS OFF TO A GOOD START
Clements may have his changes ahead of the development
time table. Normally, Alumni, sport prognosticators and well
wishers will give a new coach three, four or maybe five years
to build a winning team after taking over as head coach.
But Clements has his Bears off to a fast start this season.
Shaw has a 31-1 record to date, losing its first game of the
year to Johnson C. Smith last week. The Bears defeated Fed
eral City, Hampton and Elizabeth Clt\ to go along with a
scoreless tie with Fayetteville State.
With this fast start, the Bears maybe off their best foot
ball in years. Certainly, the Shaw alumni can he proud of the
31-1 record thus far. Shaw will play host to North Carolina Cen
tral this week.
BEARS IN LINE FOR LOOP TITLE
Shaw is one of the five teams in contention for the Southern
Division championship. Elizabeth City, Winston-Salem, Living
stone and Fayetteville State are the other schools which
qualify to win the league title this season and go on to further
past season plav.
Since the CIA A divided into Northern and Southern Divisions,
a team must play at least five inter-conference games to qualify
for the championship. Shaw plays a total of six Southern Divi
sion games.
North Carolina Central, A&T and Johnson C, Smith do not
qualify to compete for loop honors. NCC and A&T did not sched
ule enough games to qualify for the title while J. C. Smith plays
a 10-game regular season schedule. This makes the Charlotte
contingent ineligible because, should the Golden Bulls win the
league title, they could not play the Northern Division cham
pion in Greensboro to determine the CIAA champion and then
go on to play the Southwest Conference (SIAC) champion in
Houston, Texas, December 6. This would make a total of 12
games for Smith this season which the NCAA will not sanc
tion.
Even though NCC, J. C. Smith and A&T can’t win the title
themselves, they can play the role of spoilers. Clements’
team is in the thick of the race for divisional honors with its
1-1-1 conference record, hopes they can avoid the spoilers’
trap and go on to win the conference championship.
This would be quiet a fete for a first-year head coach. But
nothing is impossible to salesman and Coach Clements is in
deed a salesman in his own right.

gave NCC a 7-0 lead with 8:36
left in the first quarter.
Maryland State, caught fire
behind the passing at Henry

bination accounted foi four
straight pass completions good
for 45 yards with the final
reception good for 10-yards and
the score. Joe Williams’ PAT
split the uprights to tie the
game at 7-7 with a minute
and a half left in the first
