Minor Illnesses
Fill Infirmary
Contrary to general belief, the in-
firmarv is not overflowing nor has
it been at any time this year.
The infirmary has sixty beds and
at the present only fifty are filled.
The daily range of admittance is
from ten to nineteen, and, with the
exception of two malaria cases, all
patients have responded readily to
treatment, and have been released
within from two to five days.
Through January 19 sixty have
been admitted, none with serious
illness.
One hundred and seventy students
were on the registrar's list for high
scholarship during the fall quarter
A' 1 Only those students who
made an average grade of "2" or
better are included on this list and
to be so named is an evidence of
high scholastic excellence.
Pitt County had the largest num-
ber of students on this roll with
twenty-two names or thirteen per
cent of the entire list. Wayne County
came next with eight on roll, North-
ampton and Granville with seven.
New Hanover with six, and Frank-
lin. Wake. Nash, Wilson. 'raven,
Johnston, and Fender came next
with five each.
There was one student on the roll
from each of the following states:
South Carolina. Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Illinois, and Massachusetts;
and two students from West Virginia
made the required average to be on
the roll.
The Seniors had the largest num-

Modern Miracle of Machine Age
Now Standard Library Equipment
By PATSY McINTYRE
In this so-called machine age that
we live in, we wonder what man will
do next to aid in his work and
general pleasure of living.
We would not down progress or
the spirit of the inventor but when
man comes to the point that he must
have a pencil eraser which is run by
electricity we are compelled to be-
lieve that there must have been
somewhere in the ingenius nature
of man also a little of what is com-
monly known as a "lazy streak
But whether or not this assertion
be true it certainly cannot be said
that our campus does not keep up
to the times.
Along with the modern system of
cataloging the books, our library is
also up to date in its electrical ap-
pliances. '
The college electrician informed
us this week that an electric eraser
for pencil and type has been in-
stalled in the library.
Just think, students, you push a
button, apply the instrument and
presto! all marks are erased.
This staff will be glad to find
out if such appliances may be pur-
chased by students for use in their
rooms?then luxury! One will not
have to go to all the trouble of
finding a pencil with a good eraser
or have to exert the energy required
to apply such!
Tuesday, January S3, Dr. Frank
gave the introduction speech to a
discussion on "If the United States
Should Aid Finland
Dr. Frank pointed out that there
was always a war going on, either j
diplomatic or by armed force. There
are three major wars going on at
present France and Britain vs. Ger-
many, Japan vs. China, and Finland
vs. Russia. The one that has the
greatest appeal to the United States
is the war between Russia and Fin-
land. Finland, a nation of 3 1-2
million, has been attacked by a na-
tion of 1st) million. Finland has
one aeroplane to every fifty aero-
planes of Russia. Russia is also
superior in natural resources. Fin-
land is fighting our battle, a battle
to maintain democracy.
Naturally, Dr. Frank said, our
sympathies are with Finland, but if
we aid her we are siding with a
nation, therefore showing an im-
neutral act. Russia claims there is
no war on with Finland; that it is
only outlaws that are fighting the
Finns. Dr. Frank believes that if
we aid Finland that Germany will
join Russia and a general world
war will begin again. Germany
needs the resources Russia has. Also
if we aid Finland then we should
aid England and France. The dif-
ficulties of this were brought out by
the speaker.
Dr. Frank asked the students if
they had any questions. Many of
the students brought up different
points and argued for and against
the questions.
George F. Barber
Is New Engineer
Mr. George F. Barber of Reids-
ville, If. C, fills the position as col-
lege engineer formerly held by Mr.
W. I. West.
Mr. Barber is a native of Reids-
ville, N. C, and comes to this col-
lege from the Tomlinson Engineer-
ing Company of Columbia, S. C. He
was graduated from the Mechanical
Engineering School of State College,
Raleigh, N. C. He has also held a
position with the Wilber C. White
Company, Durham, N. C.
Mr. Barber's family plans to join
him here in the near future.
The textbooks that an- not in the
hands of students are being moved
to Room 1 the new hook room. It
is in the basement of Austin build-
ing under the music rooms which
are back of the stage, and was once
a storage room. Some new shelves
have been added as well as repairs
to some ot the old ones.
According to Dr. Leroy Ililldrun,
faculty adviser of the book room, the
change was made because the old
room was getting too small to handle
the large number of hooks required
of it. About $5,000 worth of new
books are being purchased annually
and new hooks are coming nearly
every day, especially at the begin-
ning of a quarter. At present there
are about twenty thousand books for
the use of the students.
Plans are being made that the
old book room will Ik- used for the
Alumnae Association in the future
but nothing definite is known as
vet.

Members of the Phi Sigma Pi
Fraternity appeared Friday evening,
January 19 in Austin Auditorium
in the hilarious one-act plav Peck
vs. Peel- by C. S. Bird.
The play was the story of the
divorce trial of ambitious Mrs.
Peck; played quite convincingly by
Alton Payne, against her meek little
butter and eggs husband, capably
portrayed by Howard Draper.
Bill Davidson, attorney for the
defense, effectively hurled long and
unpronounceable words at ignorant
and unintelligent looking witnesses
such as Lucille Bedford, and George
Heafner, as the nosey neighbors,
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pry; Margie
Shelby as the buxom Negro maid;
and Vernon Keutemeyer as a talka-
tive pawn broker, while John David
Bridgers, handsome young lawyer
for the plaintiff, pleaded desperately
for divorce on the grounds of cruelty
(administered with a feather
duster).
Vance Chadwick, disguised as a
stern woman judge, found the life
of "Your Honor" to be quite try-
ing?especially with a jury made up
entirely of women. Namely: Bob-
bie Hollar as Mrs. Shuffle of the
bridge club; Virgil Ward as Mrs.
Dimond of the 500 Club; Walter
Moritz as Miss Olgerson, a Swede
Jean Phillips as?well just a girl;
Walter Rogers as Miss Cummer of j
the Nickelodean; Robert Brewer as
Miss Parcels of the Department!
Store; Norman Wilkerson as al
"high smelling nigger Miss Kalso-
mine; James Whitfield as literary
Miss Reeder; Homer Parker as Mrs.
Freelingheiser, a newly American-
ized-German; Jav Casteen as Miss
Sour, a lady (?) of unknown age;
Frances Roebuck as Mrs. Delancy
one of the 400 ; and Iris Mrs. O'Bean
played by Brantley DeLoatcbe.
Even With the able assistance of
Emmett Sawyer as Clerk of Court
it was pretty hard to keep this bunch
straight?they didn't.
Some of the cast, so we are told,
not only did their lines as the
manuscript indicated but they added
a few extra features?to the great
amusement of their audience.
Most of the men in the fraternity
took the roles of women in the play
and their disguises, along with their
vocal imitations kept the audience
in constant laughter.
Dr. Beecher Flanagan, sponsor of
the fraternity, introduced the actors
and their respective roles.

Let's Walk On Our Sidewalks
Beginning with this week the Women's Student Government
Association is starting a strong campaign to do away with the
unnecessary cutting across campus.
Cutting campus is an offense of which the majority of students
enrolled here are guilty of doing. Nevertheless it is inexcusable and
not tolerable. It is a downright shame to abuse property on which
we live and which most of us are proud to say looks very well not
considering the little paths which have been worn as short cuts
just for the convenience of students.
At the present time there are three noticeable "cow paths if
you want to call them that, which show considerable and constant
crossing. Maybe by taking these paths to classes you may save
anywhere from thirty seconds to one minute in time, but what do a
few seconds matter when it comes to abusing state property?
The so-called "jay walkers" claim tivat a straight line is the short-
est distance between two points and as a result numerous little paths
have resulted. Still there are sidewalks only a few feet away which
were put there to be walked on and not just to look pretty. Perhaps
some of them were laid there when the college plant was considerably
smaller than it is today, and perhaps they don't run just, where they
are most convenient, but that is not ample reason for abusing state
property just because students are too lazy to walk a few more
steps.
With spring coming on it is a shame to keep our campus from
being beautiful by keeping little paths worn down all around the
grounds.
Within a few days the Women's Student Government Associa-
tion will have a small sign pertaining to walking on the grass placed
at both ends on the principal paths, and it will be considered the
duty of every student to respect and obey these signs. Why not
make our campus as pretty a place as possible this spring?
Campus Camera
Dinner Music
Spence Hatlev and his band boys have offered to play half
an hour of dinner music during the evening meals three nights a
week in each of the dining halls and in addition to play dance music
every Thursday night at the campus building for an hour and a
half. In return for this service they have asked that they receive
free meals in the dining hall.
Orchestral music at a college during meals is unique. It is entirely
new and different from anything ever done on this campus or other
college campuses. It shows definite steps of progressiveness in
school activities and thinking.
Such a program if carried through would prove to be valuable
publicity for the college by creating interest in something exceed-
ingly original. Perhaps arrangements could be made for broadcast-
ing the dinner music over the radio station in Greenville which
plans to open early in the spring, thereby giving additional ad-
vertisement to the college.
Experiments have proven that soft, sweet music is an aid in
the digestion of food as it tends to relax the muscles. As a rule
E.C.T.C students eat their food too rapidly anyway and with the
pleasant atmosphere that would be created by the right kind of
music more time would be spent in eating the evening meal which
would prevent indigestion often resulting from the usual rushing
through meals.
Now some people will immediately raise the reply that if it is
necessary to have music to create an agreeable atmosphere then
the cheaper thing to do would be to install a victrola and play
recorded numbers, but canned music is not nearly so enjoyable
as the real thing.
Furthermore by allowing these boys who are working their ways
through college to play during the evening meals, we would be
enabling them to remain in school throughout the year.
We suggest that the students think this thing through and that
they discuss it and vote whether they would like to have dinner
music at the next mass meeting. Of course the matter will eventually
have to go before the Board of Trustees of the college, but with
the entire student body behind the movement then dinner music
could probably become a reality.
Hero's a Chance To Make Some Money
Each year the Collegiate Digest sponsors a student and faculty
photographic contest which is recognized as the outstanding event
of the year in college camera circles. The contest is held to secure
pictures for the annual Collegiate Digest Salon- Edition. Appear-
ing as one of the spring issues of collegeland's own picture section,
this special edition gives recognition to the outstanding work of
campus photographers.
Perhaps the greatest attraction of the contest is the fact that
cash prizes will be given and winning photos will be exhibited at
leading college art centers. First place winners in each of the five
divisions of the contest will receive a cash award of $5. Second and
third place winners will receive $3 and $2 respectively. Photos
must be mailed not later than April 1, to Salon Editor, Collegiate
Digest Section, 323 Fawkes Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
All students and faculty members, no matter what their equip-
ment or experience, may enter contest.
For further details see the contest rules in the Collegiate Digest
which was distributed with this issue of the Teco Echo.
So get out your candid cameras and get busy snapping right
and left. Any of the entries may win. Here's your chance to make
some money.
Do Yon Measure Up To These?
Junior Hi-Y school children of Wilmington, Delaware, have
definite ideas of the qualifications their teachers should meet.
According to their specifications the "ideal Teacher" should

come down to the students' level

Singing the National
Anthem
To the Editor:
Due to the many comments which
have come to my ears during the
past several weeks concerning the
singing of our national anthem in
the student mass meetings. I would
like to voice the opinions of several
of my associates.
Here at East Carolina Teachers
College, tradition is nil because the
school is comparatively young and
it is entirely up to us to found those
precedents and traditions that we
would like for students to abide by
in the future here. With this in
mind, would it not seem better to
start the practice of singing our
school song at the beginning of mass
meetings instead of singing the na-
tional anthem?
Tow singing the national anthem
and hoisting the American flag at
meetings is all well and good but
it, like everything else, has its place.
It seems perfectly all right to do so
in observance of the celebration of
some national hero or in conducting
a meeting pertaining to our national
government but not in a school mass
meeting. This is a teachers' college
for the purpose of training teachers
and when we hold a student mass
meeting we are assembled for the
sole purpose of discussing and solv-
ing our student problems and not
those of the nation. Therefore it
seems logical that we should sing
something pertaining to the school
which would of course be our school
song.
So why not reserve the singing
of our national anthem and our
patriotic feeling toward our national
government for the proper place and
time and instead sing our college
song, if we have to sing at all.
Howard Draper.
Abuse of Privileges
Dear Editor:
Since when did it become custom-
ary to throw cigarette stubs on the
floor ? and when did it become cus-
tomary to sit with your feet in the
chairs and on the sofa or table?to
throw cups on the floor and leave
bottles sitting around to attract in-
sects ? and when ? pray tell, did
it become customary to pick up a
magazine that doesn't even belong
to you, tear the pages, pull off the
back, and send it winding across the
floor or even lay it down on the floor
j
to be trodden upon ?????? Wbo does
these things, you may ask? Well,
probably one of your cousins in
Europe did it last quarter ? that
was all right ? no complaint, but
it must be you or your brother this
this term who does it. Nevertheless,
a stop should be put to this and
unless something is done at once the
"Y" cabinets will find it necessary
to close the room to all students.
When this room was opened it was
equipped with lights in order that
everyone could see to read, maga-
zines were brought, and a rack was
made to hold the magazines. The
furniture was repaired and new
covers bought, ash trays were placed
where everyone could conveniently
find them, and waste paper baskets
were placed around in the room.
THEREFORE, is there any par-
ticular reason why the "Y" Read-
ing Room should look like a pig
pen? I see no reason whatsoever.
It is merely the carelessness of the
students who use this room. It was
not open to loafers, but to those
students who wanted to read or
smoke. Instead of serving its pur-
pose as a reading room, it has served
as a place for social gatherings and
gossip corners.
If everyone will take it upon him-
self to use those conveniences that
are near, to use the wastepaper bas-
ket for cups, and return their bottles
to the "Y" store, there will be no
complaints, but unless we do, I fear
that we will have to go somewhere
rather than the Reading Room as it
will be closed. Thank you for your
future cooperation.
Alton Payne.
A College Girl's Dream
I saw a land up in the sky
Or far across the seas
Where cigarettes grow on bushes
And money decks the trees.
No jingling bells disturb one's sleep,
No lessons to prepare.
There's all the things you like to eat
And soft beds everywhere.
There everything is of the best.
The lipsiek won't come off.
The curls stay up all by themselves
And never make one cross.
No matter what you wish to do
You'll always find a beau
Who doesn't try to be the boss
But follows where you go.
At any time you care to dance
There's music in the air
That fits all steps you like to take;
Good partners everywhere.
Dear girls, I'd tell a great deal more
But that same hated bell
Jerked me from that Utopia.
Sweet dreamland, fare you well.
Ruth Pollard.

Early spring fashions are gay
and lively. Bright colors, delicate
pastels, and the new greens are all
used in combinations with the new
basic gray. High style also points to
the use of beige and cocoa browns for
lightweight street wool suits, espe-
cially when worn with white. Blues
are outstanding among the pastels-?-
dusty blues and misty blues register
heavily in ensembles and sport
suits.
The corset silhouette has changed.
The new silhouette lengthens the
waistline and restrains the hips. The
wasp or "nipped" effect is defi-
nitely gone; instead there is an
"elongated torso" line which is
slenderizing and graceful, and mueb
easier to wear.
Something new is the gilet slip
offered by Lord & Taylor. You'll
need no blouse under your suit now.
Instead you'll wear a gilet slip of
silk and rayon satin. The gilet is of
pure silk sheer, tucked and lace
trimmed. The whole tends to give a
sleeker look to your outfit.
Stripes and floral printed silks are
popular for evenings. And fur eve-
ning coats being worn in Paris,
have looser lines and show a tendency
toward fuller bodies. The front of
the coats are usually made on slim
lines, while the backs are pleated,
gored or flared to give fullness.
Gored capes are also worn by smart
Parisiennes ? especially long ones
which reach the hem of the dress.
These capes have a slightly military
flare, and are likely to have wide
round collars turned down fairlv flat
in school girl fashion.
Several collections show military
touches on their daytime dresses.
This is done by epaulets, brass but-
tons, capes, tucked pockets and col-
ors. Gav touches of red, and cadet
blue are used extensively; and braid
trimming is also much in demand.
So next time you shop, keep your
eyes open for that "certain military
touch' which is so popular!

For those preparing to be teachers there should be no excuses
made for not meeting these simple yet necessary qualifications,
none of which cannot be acquired by a little patience and time.
If the E.C.T.C. student who plans to teach does not measure up
to these standards then he or she has no place in the schoolrooms
of North Carolina.

She is to attend the Annual Meet-
ing of the Secretaries of College
Alumnae Associations at William

1940. It is a meeting of District
III of the American Alumnae
Council.
Miss McClees graduated from
ECTC a few years ago, and has
done some graduate work at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina. She has
also had training for several years
on the piano and voice and dra-
matics for shorter periods.
As yet no definite office has been
assigned but plans are being made
to secure the old book room for her
office and reception room. She will
live in Bagsdale Hall.

In Battling For Honors
Shelton and Albright Most Athletic!
B : Shelton and Nancy Albright were voted the most athletic boy and
g ? in the senior class of 1U40 in the voting held recently for selecting
- perlatives. This is an honor for both Bill and Nancy and we feel
is quite a deserving one. During their college' careers, they
ave devoted much of their time to the realm of athletics and they have
active in their respective student organizations. They have
ted good-will as well as good sportsmanship among their col-
leagues Congratulations Bill and Nancy.
.Sportsmanship Is Never Over-emphasized
I all types of athletic events, the sportsmanship exhibited by the
Students of East Carolina Teachers College is rather favorable. If it
seen - to he all ritrht, why say anything about it? We say something
u1 it with the view of hoping the students will see that it remains all
However, mentioning sportsmanship was spirited by the unde-
- ral ? sportsmanship exhibited by certain spectators at the ECTC-
Kaval Base irame played on the ECTC court two weeks ago. Inci-
dentally, those who showed this so-called undesirable attitude were
students of the college. It is true that things happen in game
rnes that promote rejoinders from observers, but those who keep
iments on their observations to themselves show good sportsman-
Henee, one cannot over-emphasize good sportsmanship and good
s rtsmanship cannot be over-emphasised.

Rodgers Tosses Bouquets. Thanks, Walter
Walter Rodgers. a husky athlete of the College, has been subjected
I humorous comments at the hands of the Teco Echo sports staff dur-
r the fall and winter quarters. We have made remarks about his
whosesorae appetite, his individual way of walking, his broad grin and
er features. Imagine our surprise when he commented to a member
of the staff that the sports department of the paper had been doing a
good job in covering sports news of the college. Thanks, Walter. We
ope others will voice their opinion about our department. We borrow
this adage: "If we please you, tell others. If not, tell us
H hat Kind of Basketball Do You Like?
Since the basketball season is in full swing, pros and cons are voiced
relative to the speed of a basketball game. Some spectators enjoy a
game that doesn't move too fast, while others find they're not fast
enough. Eliminating the center jump added speed to the game and some
fans think it added too much speed and that eventually the center
Jump will be restored. Here's one good argument in behalf of the
elimination?more interest has been created in basketball and today
this sport draws more attendance than any other athletic event. Some
fans are inclined to believe that the game is becoming too rough. To
those who have followed basketball, it is a known fact that players of
today are taller than those of previous years and also are heavier. When
the score is dose and winning or losing a game is a matter of seconds,
you re hound to find roughness. If this situation prevails, the fans
overtook the roughness as long as the team wins. There doesn't seem
to he so much harm in a player being rough as long as he does not violate
the laws of good sportsmanship.
Good Start in Intramurals
More interest is being manifested in intramural athletics on the
campus than ever before. Adequate programs in intramural activities
are being made available to both boys and girls of the student body
It is true that some students are unable to participate in this type of
physical education because of work or other duties However, there
are other students who have plenty of leisure and should avail them-
selves of the program. The program is developing at a fast clip.
Whether the program continues to progress depends upon the interest
of the students. If the present interest is retained, intramurals are
here to stav.
Four teams, composed of fourteen
men on each team, have already be-
gun their activities in the intra-
mural basketball program for boys
being staged under the supervision
of Coaeh Gordon Gilbert.
Walter Rodgers is captain of the
Tigers, Bill Dudash is piloting the
Wildcats, Mickey Northcutt is skip-
per of the Lions and R. H. Chad-
wick is captain of the Zebras.
The program got under way over
a week ago and Coach Gilbert ex-
plained that it would be continued
throughout the quarter if possible.
Walter Rodgers' Tigers stood out
in the first two games and was cred-
ited with "no losses" in the first
compilations. Bill Dudash's Wild-
cats trailed with one win and one
loss. Northcutt's Lions had the same
standing. Chadwick's Zebras had no
wins to their credit in the early com-
pilations.
In the opening game of the com-
petition played Wednesday night,
January 17, at 7:30 o'clock, the
Wildcats overpowered the Lions
19-16. Wayland Tucker scored 11
points to pace the winners, while
Northcutt scored a half dozen to
pave the way for the losers. Chad-
wick officiated at the encounter.
The Tigers piled up 53 points
against the Zebras' 29 in a game
played on the same date of the Wild-
cat-Lion clash at 8 :30 o'clock. Chad-
wick scored 12 points for the Ze-
bras. Rodgers with 12 and C. Moore
with 9 stood out for the winners.
Merner officiated.
In a game between the Tigers and
Wildcats played Thursday, January
18, at 3:30 o'clock, the Tigers, won
45-34. Dudash scored 16 points for
the Wildcats. Rodgers with 14 and
Mitchell A very with 9 were top per-
formers for the Tigers, Parker and
Merner were the officials.
Interest Is High
In Field Hockey
The field hockey program of the
Women's Athletic Association, which
was concluded some time ago, was
described as a success.
This was another phase of the
intramural program sponsored by
the W.A.A. with the view of stimu-
lating interest in intramurals.
Eileen Tomlinson captained the
field hockey team and explained
that the girls were "very coopera-
tive" in the program.
Besides Miss Tomlinson, others
named on the All-Star field hockey
team were: Louise Lindsey, Mabelle

Pack Up 51-49 Score
In Breaking 49-49 Tie
Perfect timing and clock-like pre-
cision of Red Dunn, strawberry
blond of the United States Naval
Base, helped the Middies fade the
Pirates 51-49 here January 13, since
Red's maneuvering caused the ball
to drop through the basket in the
last two seconds.
In many instances, the game re-
sembled a football game in disguise.
The rough element, however, came
on the heels of the nip-and-tuck
playing that players on both teams
displayed throughout the game.
After being tied five times before
the half, the intermission score was
24-24. Both teams lost little time in
getting off to a fast start in the
last half of the game, which pro-
duced as many thrills and as much
excitement as any game ever wit-
nessed here.
Only 42 seconds before the final
horn, the score was deadlocked at
49-all. The teams played 40 seconds
with the score still deadlocked. Then
like a bombshell out of a clear sky,
Dunn got the ball, glanced hur-
riedly at his opponents, and made a
bullet-like push toward the basket.
While the ball wras in the air, the
horn sounded. The game was over,
but since the ball was in action and
fell through the basket, the game
went to the Navy.
This victory gave the boys from
Norfolk their ninth win in an even
dozen starts. Both teams fouled fre-
quently. Sixteen personal fouls were
charged against each team.
Bill Shelton and Donald Brock
scored 13 points apiece to set the
pace for the Pirates. George Lau-
tares, who saw little action in the
first half, scored 10 of the Pirates'
points in the second half. Captain
C. J. Foust, with 20 points, was the
high scorer of the 15 boys Norfolk's
coach brought to Greenville.

Prize winners in the con-

announced Tuesday by the
cheer leaders of the College,
who sponsored the contest and
acted as judges.
The winners were: James
Whitfield, first prize, $1.00;
Bryce Worley, second prize,
75 cents; and Kathleen Mullen
and Ruth Moye, third and
fourth prizes, 50 cents.
Because of the lateness of the
decision of the judges, the
cheers will be introduced to
the student body by the cheer
leaders. The cheers are slated
to be used at tonight's game.

Dormitory teams will be selected

The Women's Athletic Associa-
tion, which is taking the lead in in-
tramural activities, is now mapping
plans for a "Play Day" to be held
some time during the present school
year. Even though current plans
are not definite, the W.A.A. pro-

One team will represent each

Triumphs Gained Over
Navy, William and Mary
Coach Bo Farley's Pirates divided
a four-day series with four power-
ful Virginia teams last week.
After losing a week earlier to the
United States Naval Base in the
last two seconds of the game, the
Pirates avenged the loss last Friday
night by breezing to a CAn triumph
over the Middies. The Pirates were
out in front 27-23 at intermission.
Don Brock rang up 20 points for
the Pirates in the game and was
given exceptional support by George
Lautares and Bill Shelton, who made
18 and 14 points respectively. This
game, like the one played "on the
local court, was a bit rough. The
Middies were charged with 18 per-
sonal fouls and the Pirates 14.
Tommy Scott's William and Mary
Braves were pitted against the Pi-
rates last Saturday nght, but were
unable to stand up against the fast-
stepping hoys from Carolina. The
Pirates emerged with a 62-36 vic-
tory and the Braves trailed 32-12 at
the half. ECTC's Donald Brock,
who drew a number of laurels from
the sports scribes at Norfolk, piled
up 24 points in this game. Lautares
scored 18 points in this encounter.
Langley Field's Flying Aces
opened the series by turning in a
59-43 verdict in a game that kept
players and teams on edge through-
out the game. Don Brock and Bill
Shelton featured in the point-mak-
ing. The former was credited with
13 points and the latter 15 points.
A top-flight Newport News Ap-
prentice team fought hard to best
the Pirates 51-46 in the second game
of the series.
Floyd Hinton and David Watson
were said to have produced the best
defensive performances in all four
games. Bill Shelton and Don Brock
were the offensive sparks. In all four
games, Brock scored 86 points, Shel-
ton 52 points and Lautares 50 points.
Farley was forced to frequent the
games with reserves and they did
well whenever called to the line of
fire.

Bo Farley's Pirates have a half-

for the next two week- and five of
them will be played here. The fir-t
of the series will be played with the
Portsmouth "V cagers here tonight,
with the tip-off set for 8 o'clock.
Next Tuesday night, Rocky
Mount's fast-stepping "V will in-
vade the ECTC court. Last year the
Pirates registered a 33-26 win over
Rocky Mount and a 49-30 triumph
in another, it is likely that the boys
from Rocky Mount will seek re-
venge for the setbacks.
Raleigh's "White Flash an-
other independent team, will make
its debut in Greenville next Wednes-
day night in a scheduled game with
the Pirates. The White Flash bunch
are fast and are noted for being
able to run up adding machine
scores.
Louishurg College, which def ted
ECTC 35-22 last season, will play
the Pirates two games here the first
week in February. The first game
is set for Saturday, February 2.
and the other for Thursday, Febru-
ary 8.
One game that promises to be a
thriller, and one that will inter-
jsperse the pair of games with Lous-
burg, is the game with Atlantic
Christian College, on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 6. Atlantic Christian Col-
lege turned back the Pirates 32-28
in an exciting game midway the sea-
son last year, but lost to the Pirates
37-29.

clash will he rivalry and the "Bo-
hunk Trophy The trophy will be
retained by the Bulldogs if they win
and be placed in the hands of the
Pirates if they are victorious.
Much polish has been shown re-
cently by the Pirates and they should
provide the fans with plenty of ex-
citement in games that are to follow.
