As ye police aaid other local auth-

anything from an Atomic attack to
the Kremlin, to pranksters with dy-

the latter. One rumor has it that two

Whatever it was, it rattled tine

see if the boiler had exploded proved
futile. An employee there gave as-
surance that all was well. The Mem-

no apparent damage. Thus, the ex-
plosion couldn't have taken place
there.

?&iirr&talations To Our Who's Who
Last Friday night (November 13)
there were two entertainments on
campus with none Saturday night. The
Teachers' Playhouse were presenting
their annual fall production at 8:15
p. m. just as the Entertainment Serieg
movie wa.s ending. There was adequate
time to make both.
The Entertainment Series had
previou y scheduled the movie for
Saturday night, but rearranged the
scheduled for the benefit of the stu-
dent music recital held the following
aft- moon. Because there was no help
to raise the movie screen and set the
stage between Saturday night after
the movie and Sunday afternoon, the
movie was set for Friday night at
6:30.
Employees of the maintenance de-
partment here have Saturday after-
noon and Sundays free and employing
organizations must pay for the ser-
vices of these men during tiheir off-
hours. F'T a project such as raising
the movie screen and resetting the
;tage would cost about $20.00, accord-
ing to Alumni Secretary James W.
Butler, chairman of the Entertainment
Series. These funds could go towards
financing of the additional programs,

East Carolina students and sup-
porters have until next Monday mid-
night (November 30) to turn in
Philip Morris wrappers as votes for
Dick Cherry, Pirate half back, for the
All-College All-American contest.
Wrappers may be deposited in a box
in the "Y" Shop.
A carton of cigarettes is a prize
offered at the end of each week to
the student turning in the largest
number of wrappers. All the wrappers
obtainable are needed to name Cherry
as one of the top eleven in the
nation. We, the students, can do this
by putting out a lot of effort and
showing interest which will influence
others to join in the campaign.
Civic organizations in Greenville
are giving their support to the project
and many outside individuals are
giving their help. Now it is up to each
student to do his part in the campaign.

The Green Night
by Pat Humphrey
It was a night of long ago
That Arthur's court did meet.
A feast was nigh well under way
When Green Knight did them greet.
He was the mightiest of men
That ever rode a siteed.
Although he rode as any knight,
All men of him took heed.
This mighty knight was clad in green
From head down to his shoe.
His hair which fell about his neck
Was of the same bright hue.
He bore no arms nor shaft to smite
Nor breastplate for defense.
But in one hand he held an ax?
En size it was immense.

Dear Students:
It is very important that all county
groups meet and organize and plan,
their activities for the holidays. Here-
tofore, many groups have carried on
radio programs, assembly programs
parties, to interest high school stu-
dents and have met with alumni
and high school senior groups during
the holidays.
The second quarter, as you know,
begins Monday, November 30, and
there are many students not in school
who should be; perhaps you can in-
terest some of them in coming. Plan
activities both for the Thanksgiving
holidays and for the Christmas holi-
days. Many times words spoken to
an individual in an informal way
may influence him in choosing his
college; why not make your alma
mater that college?
With best wishes, I am

No word was spoken by the knights
Who only sat and watched.

Couple Of The Week

It seems this column is becoming
a regular "advice to the lovelom" on
how to meet your mate.
Lillian Haynes, a junior from
Goldsboro, and Wade Jordon, a senior
from Edenton, met three years ago
at the tennis courts. Lillian was
playing with some girl friends and
Wade, with h roommate. This sit-
uation called for a game of doubles
and so everyone was introduced?
everyone, that is, except Lillian and
Wade. They identified themselves to
each other only as "Blue Eyes" and
"Brown Eyes After the game "Blue
Eyes" (Wade) walked "Brown Eyes"
(Lillian) to the dorm and the after-
noon ended with his asking for a
date the following night. Arrange-
ments were made as to the time he
would call for her and everything
was fine until the next day when
Lillian suddenly realized that she
didn't know his name. In desperation,
she asked everyone in the dorm if
they knew who he was and finally
succeeded in learning his first name.
That night, still not knowing his
last name, she asked Wade how he
spelled his last uame. JORDON
was the reply, and, says Lillian, "I
really heaved a sigh of relief
After such a beginning it was still
more than a year before Lillian and
Wade started going together.
One time when Wade was visiting
Lillian, her mother became ill and
Lillian had to cook supper. She asked
Wade if he'd like to have biscuit,
and, saya Lillian, "He asked for it.
The dope said yes. When he cut
one of them it was so hard, it flew
all over the table. Guess that cured
him of my cooking
After graduating from EGC, Wade
plans to attend the University of
Virginia a3 a graduate student in
science. Lillian plans to teach but,
says she with a sparkle in her eye,

and Mary H. Greene.
Introducing The First Magazine Section
This issue introduces the first Magazine Section of the
Carolinian. Contributors from students of various majors
have put sincere effort in their work. The literary section's board
ditors has worked hard in editing material. Both groups
ther have strived to give the best to you, as a reader.
For a number of years there has been no outlet for student
itive writing here other than in a few English composition
At present there is no creative writing course offered.
i'l vvever, a great interest in creative writing has been shown by
numerous responses received from contributors to this liter-
ary section. Only about three weeks notice was given to the effect
publishing such a section, but it was long enough to get an
indance of material.
We hope that this, East Carolinian's first Magazine Sect-
ion, will prove successful and that we can continue it as a quart-
publication of East Carolina College. As a reader, your

stops a new farm truck on the road's

cabana shorts do not cover, squeal
as the water from the sprinklers
falls on them, streaking their almost
naked bodies with dirty streams and

ning than irrigating.
A cloud passes over the sun; a
pleasant breeze cools the air only
momentarily. In the fields water
coughs and sputters yet spurts stead-
ily with an honest stream down to
the thirsty gray earth from sprink-
lers placed three yards apart.
Irrigation takes a bow in North
Carolina!
THE END.
The small room was dimly lighted
and the sole occupant was seated
before an ancient desk. In a corner
of the room was a statue, about
three feet high, resting upon a black
marble base. Except for a small, hard
.ed in another corner, the room was
bare and stern looking. The man
evidently was deep in thought as,
with troubled brow, he studied a
book of Sit. Paul's Epistles.
Finally tiring of his work, he
pushed the book away and drew
from one of the deep recesses of his
desk a small flask of wine. Turning
about, he glanced into the corner
where the statue was placed. The
dim rays of the late evening sun
cast a flickering light upon the small
figure and seemed to give, along
with the brightness, a vibrant, life-
like quality. As he stared, it seemed
to wink at him. Unable to believe
his eyes when the image cast a quiet
smile, he muttered aloud, "Alas, Au-
gustine. These seventy years have
been fruitful, but I fear this is the
end of them. I could swear I saw
this old statue of Aristotle wink and
then smile at me. An old man must
ve allowed his fantasies, although
I'm sure I had better not mention
this incident to anyone, or they will
be placing some other man here as
Bishop of Hippo Regius
As the old man turned slowly
away, a troubled expression appeared
on the face of the statue. "Dear
Augustine, pray allow me to speak.
If you will not believe your eyes,
then open your ears. For many years
I have been a part of your room,
and by listening to you speaking
aloud, have learned your thoughts.
Think how it is, Augustine, to sit
here through century after century,
and not to be allowed to speak until
now! Can you imagine sitting in
countless rooms, watching men make
the same mistakes thousands ot
times, and being unable to say the
words which would bring safety to
all involved? Now, when at last I
have regained my power of speech,
for how long I do not know, do not
deny me this moment of happiness
Augustine's face was a study in
wonderment. "It is true, my friend,
that we must take advantage of this
priceless opportunity. Strange events
are happening, but it is evident that
only the hand of God could have
caused this miracle. Who am I, to
defy the will of God, and say it
by Ethel Poe Mercer
could not be possible to talk with a
statue? Therefore let us talk
Aristotle: First tell me what was
troubling you as you sat at your
desk with such an expression of
sorrow. You, of all men, should b1
happy.
Augustine: I should be happy, and
many times I am, but then I think
of all my sins, and become sad
again. Oh, to be cleansed thor-
oughly of these sins of mine, Aris-
totle.
Aristotle: Do not grieve, friend Au-
gustine. You have repented of
them, and it is apparent that God
has called you for one of His
chosen few. Are you not happy
as Bishop of Hippo Regius? You
have turned the people from the
false manichean ideas, and led
them to truth, which is God. All
the people lay adoration at your
feet. Do you not have pride in
this, Augustine?
Augustine: Speak not of pride to me,
Aristotle! Pride stood too long be-
tween God and me, keeping the
light of the Holy Spirit hidden.
The three fundamental lusts which
are pride, voluptuousness, and curi-
osity have been, and still are, the
most difficult to overcome, t has
been a hard struggle to overcome
temptation, for I was once in the
lowest ebb of humanity, thinking
of nothing hut satisfying my own
earthly lusts. All the while my soul
was aspiring vainly to reach God,
and all this was unknown to me.
I have found these struggles easier
to conquer since my complete con-
version. It was a gradual process,
Aristotle, but the final incident
occurred in a Milanese garden. I
had been reading Paul's Epistles
with Alypius, one of my dearest
friends, when, in a fit of temper,
1 flung myself beneath a fig tree,
and cried to God to grant me sal-
vation. Then I heard a sweet voung
voice, as if that of a child, saying,
'Take up and read Returning to
Alypius, I snatched up the book,
and opening it at random read
these words: 'Not m rioting-and
drunkenness, not in chambering
and wantonness, not in strife and
envying; but put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ and make not pro-
vision for the flesh I felt that
this must surely be a message from
God, and soon after, I was bap-
tized by Ambrose.
Aristotle: It does seem apparent that
this message w"s sent to you from
God. The passage which you read
then brought you the final resolu-
tion that you must put away desires
of the flesh to be able to find
God. You did the right thing indeed
when you followed this inspiration
from heaven, for it has been my

deliberation it stepped out into the
full glare of the moonlight and
moved slowly across the street.
He shrank against the wall and

Credo
by Lucile Noell Dula
Unless I dream I cannot teach the
young
To set their sights upon the brightest
star;
I must explore if I would search for
gold
And find the shining nuggets where
they are.
I must sow seeds within their ToHile
mind
If I expect a harvesting of grain;
I must set sight upon the mountain
peaks
If I would have youth rise above the
plain.
Unless I search for treasure in the
young,
I'll find the gilt and never see the
gold.
Unless I learn the language that
they speak,
The message that I have will go
untold.
And so I set my vision on the hills,
Which rise so high above the things
I reach,
And choose these words to guide me
as I move,
"To strive, to seek, to find"?and
then to teach.

He drew back, cowering against j t.njoy a Slifweiser Beer Jim seemed
to gaze at it for a brief second and
all the time wishing that he were
somewhere in a tavern drinking that
beer and watching this game on
television.
He stepped into the batter's box
squeezing the handle of the bat as
if he could break it. He dug his
spikes into the dirt and adjusted
his cap. As the pitcher made his
windup Jim stood poisM with the
bat a little above his right shoulder
and back of him. If only he knew
what kind of pitch to expect, he would
be ready for it, but that was part
of the game. At that instant Jim
saw the round, horsehide covered
sphere hurtling through space as it
left the pitcher's hand. Jim almost
swung his hat, but hesitated, then
relaxed and listened, as the umpire
shouted, "Strike one
Jim stepped from the box, knocked
the dirt from hi" spikes with the bat
and cursed under his breath. He asked
himself, "Why didn't I hit that
pitch? He probably won't give me
another one like it but it was gone
and he would have to take his chance
on another pitch. As he wiped his
hands on the leg of his pants he
glanced at the scoreboard in center
field, which only reminded him again
that sped toward him and once more
decided to let it pass. This again
proved fretful judgment, as the
echo of ball tw-o sounded in the
dreaded silence. There was a loud
cheer rcm the stands ana Jim could
hear, hat's t1 way to watch that
ball" coming from his loyal support-
ers. This made him feel good inside
and gave him a little more confi-
dence in himself.
Jim turned to walk from the box
gain, paused, then changed his mind,
'Boy,

the floor. They echoed to the rotunda
above him and lost themselves in the
darkness.
A whimper rose to his lips, but he
stifled it. And then the footsteps
paused, only to begin again. The
first step of the stairway, the second.
His eyes tried to follow the relent-
less noise as it rose toward him.
He steeled himself and approached
the edge of the balcony once more.
The moonlight still shone placidly
beneath. It fascinated him with its
seemingly omnipresent glow. And
the footsteps. Onward, ever onward,
upward, methodical, unrelenting.
He turned and faced the final
landing. With one haaid on the
railing he moved backward, listening
to the rising pitch of the footsteps.
He drew up against the wall. On
his right was the railing. On his
left the myriad of books.
He heard the footsteps pause as
they reached the final landing. His
eyes bulged toward the final speck
of darkness in which the shadow
lurked. He sucked in his breath and
heard the air whistle sharply between
his teeth. The footsteps began once
more as the shadow stepped out into
the half-black, fluid darkness at the
corridor's end.
A weakness seemed to settle in
his knees and he was conscious of a
dull pounding in his temples. He
glanced back at the slowly approach-
ing shadow once more and then
hoisted himself onto the railing's
edge and sat dangling his feet into
empty space.
He was faintly aware of having
sat like this as a child, long ago,
dangling his feet in the cooling water
of some forgotten river.
And then he relaxed. His body
slid noiselessly over the railing's
edge and plummeted downward.
All was quiet.
At the sound of the sickening
crunch the shadow stiffened. It turn-
ed and began to descend the stair-
way. Once more its footfalls echoed
through the building.

gazec in that director and saw in
large black numerals a sigr which
read 330 ft. Again his eyes returned
to the pitcher and thought it would
be so nice if only he could see the
catcher's ignal on the next pitch,
but locking at signals just wasn't
acceptable in baseball so o had
only his guessing power on which to
rely. As the pitcher once more re-
leased the horsehide, Jim saw it was
a good pitch. He got set for it and
swung hard, out at the last moment
the ball had curved and Jim had
missed it by inches. Ther. wore a
few muffled "ah's" coming from the
crowd as Jim -tepped fror1 the box,
wiped his hands again and stepped
back into the box. Now was the time
to think fast. It was between Jim
and the pitcher, and the winner would
be the one who could out-ink the
other. This time Jim had no time to
think of anythHc. because the pitch-
er had hurried his pitch in order to
catch him off guard, but in doing
so had hrown wide of the plate. Jim
was lucky on that pitch. He would
have to be on his toes now.
The count was three balls and two
strikes. Jim knew that the pitcher
would have to put it across the plat
or either walk him, but the problem
how important a hit was to the team. 1 was deciding whether it would be
across before u was too late to hit
it. Jim dug in, mo?- determined than
ev ar now, and choked tJ"x bat tighter.
Now was his chance. He just couldn't
let the team deei . this time. The
pitcher looked at Jim with hatred
as he went into his windmill-like
procedure to deliver the ball. As the
threaded sphere came flying at the
plate Jim looked, got ready, and took
a mighty swing that connected
souarely w.xh the brill and gave it
a ride far into left field. Jim lost
sight of it while it was in flight,
but when he heard a loud, depfening

On the bottom landing it paused.
And then it moved slowly toward
the pool of moonlight in which the
man's body now lay.
Keeping ever to the darkness, it
circled the body once and then stop-
ped. It glanced upward, passed the
never-ending stacks to the rotunda,
and eyed it calmly.
The shadow cleared its throat and
walked slowly toward the door.

So was recorded one of the most
unusual events of the Second World
War.
One night, in the early spring
of 1042, shortly after Japan had
attacked Pearl Harbor, in a convoy
of approximately 75 merchant and
warships emoute from Balboa, Pana-
ma, to one of the islands in the South
Pacific, the word that navy men
east like to hear rang out, "Man
overboard Cookie Johnston, sitting
on a bench on the fantail, had heard
a splash and a faint cry of "Help
Immediately he sounded an alarm,
rushed to the bridge and notified the
officer of the deck, who sounded the
general alarm.
Commander See, who was on the
bridge at the time getting the ship
settled in the routine for the night,
noted the position on the dead rec-
koning tracer, an instrument that
shows the approximate location of
the ship at all times. This was most
important, as we were in a war con-
voy and not allowed to use any
lights. It was better to lose one
man than to endanger the whole
convoy.
Reports began coming to the
bridge; division after division re-
ported all present. Soon, however.

Despite the argument the vote was
in favor of destroying the spacemen,
so at the peak of dawn the next day
there wa? an ear splitting explosion
that shattered the morning quiet.
The morning papers carried a com-
plete story on the whole affair with
bold headlines stating, "Venus

came the report all had been dread-
ing to hear, "B Division reports one
man absent, Swenson, A. B chief
watertender A quick check was
made throughout the ship. It was
definite. Swede Swenson was the man
overboard.
It was indeed a ticklish problem
to get the ship back to the spot
where the man had fallen overboard.
The searchlight could not be used,
the shin had been mov;?g ahead at
about 20 knots on a zig-zag course
when the alarm had sounded, and
we could maneuver only to y-ie port
side, as we were on the left flank
of the convoy. To make matters
even worse, it was one of those dark,
dark nights at sea. The moon had
not yet come up, and not a single
star was in the sky. Commander See,
using all the technical knowledge of
24 years naval service, hastily eval-
uated the many factors and gave the
order to the engine room, "Stop all
engines
Getting in contact with the per-
sonnel on duty on the fantail, Com-
mander See ordered everyone to keep
a sharp lookout and listen intently.
A faint sound was heard on the port
side. Commander See, who by now-
had come from the bridge to the
fantail, used a flashlight, shining it
briefly out towards the sound. In the
flashlight's tiny beam was seen a
figure in the water. It was Swede.
The motor whalehoat was hoisted out
and Swede was soon aboard, ex-
hausted but happy.
"How did you feel out there,
Swede?" asked Gunner Jones, in the
chief's quarters shortly afterwards.
"I wondered if the cruiser would
vn out a plane for me in the
morning, with some ? food replied
Swede, as he took a big bite from
his sandwich and had a drink of
coffee.
So ends the story of a rescue at
sea under the most adverse condi-
tions: no lights allowed, no moon or
stars to help, the wind and sea con-
ditions to evaluate, the speed and
I course of the ship, all.to be sum-
marised so as to find a man in the
ocean, like trying to find the pro-
verbial "needle in the haystack A
remarkable episode of the use of
technical knowledge, common sense
and quick thinking.
THE END.
The Flush
by Ed Mathews
I'm no piker as far as a good game
goes, but these boys were big time.
I had been hired, with another boy,
to fix drinks and keep everything
needed at hand.
It wasn't like the movies, with a
small, smoke-filled room. We were in
one of the best suites in the hotel
and there was plenty of light
Like most bar boys, after I had
everything fixed and had handed
out a drink all around, I picked out
a nice fellow who wasn't supersti-
tious and watched him play.
Th man I was watching was a
stranger to me. He was up from
Florida just passing through en his
way to New York. He seemed friend-
ly and had tipped me a half dollar
when I went down to get him some
smokes, so I decided to pull for him.
He was quiet and a real poker play-
er. He didn't have the loud voice
that the Slater brothers did, or the
showman's ways of Louie.
The fifth man in the game I didn't
know, but he looked like a fellow
they had just gotten to fill out the
table. As the night went on the "fill
in" lost heavily and my man was
winning a little?around a hundred.
Of course, I didn't get to see all
of the games, but the ones I saw
showed me that the "fill in" was out
of his class in this game. The night
wore on and the game changed from
draw to seven card stud, to five card
stud to Chicago, and back again.
My man started a game of pro-
gression and it built all the way
around to the "fill in who by this
time had dropped five or six hundred.
He was on my man's right and as he
straightened the deck after one of
the Slater boys cut he flashed the
irht Of diamonds as the bottom
card. I saw il but I didn't know how
many others did. The cards came out
and my man passed a pair of tens.
Louie opened and Don Slater raised,
Joe raised again.
The "fill in" was sweating. He was
running out of money, but he called
and so did my man. My man took

Slater boys only took two each.
The dealer look one. Obviously the

My man didn't hit so he dropped

The backbone of San Diego and

it since 1917 when it became the
site for the United States Army,
Marine and Naval Training schools.

there and look on San Diego as a
wonderland filled with bright lights,
an appropriate place to spend a
weekend pass.
Perhaps the only real injustice
that I uncovered in thig city is the
treatment of these boys by the na-
tives of San Diego. The people tend
to ignore the boys even though
servicemen support the town. I hope
that this situation will he remedied
in the future and that the people
will think of the boys as somebody's
sons and not just as sailors.

East Carolina's Jayvee basketball
squad dropped a heart-breaking
thriller to the Edwards Military In-

period at Salomburg Tuesday night.
The baby Bucs took an early lead
rn the first quarter, but lost it as
the fhst half drew to an end. EMI
led 18-13 at the mid-point.
In tne third quarter the Baby Bucs
seemed: to come to life and by che
end of the period they had whittled
the score down to 29-27 with EMI
still out front.
The start of the fourth quarter
saw the Baby Bucs' Scarboro and
EMI's House locked in a scoring
duel, but the Bucs couldn't seem to
overcome the two point margin held
by EMI. Then, with five seconds
to play and the score 45-42 in favor
of EMI, Len Cox was fouled by
Waters. Cox stepping to the line with
two free shots, hit on the first and
the. score stood 45-43 EMI, the
second was no good and all hope
seemed to be gone, but William Mc-
Arthur tipped in the rebound and
and the game ended 50-49 EMI.
In the overtime period the Baby
Bucs' offense attack couldn't click
and the game ended 50-49 E.M.I.

Held to a 7-0 margin at the end
of the first half, the East Carolina
Pirates exploded for 33 points in the
second session to spoil Stetson Univer-
sity's homecoming festivities at De-
land, Florida Saturday, November 14.
A steady downpour soaked the play-
ing field th ought the first two per-
iod; anj turned the field into a
virtual quagmire. Even the acts of
nature however, could not halt the
vistors as the Buccaneers drove to
a score in the first period when Dick
Cherry pitched a nine yard scoring
pass to right end Larry Rhodes.
Cherry, who was out of action the
proceeding week as the Bucs dropped
their first contest of the year to
Tampa U-niversity, sparkplugged the
attack.
Stetson, which had been named as
slight favorite due to an early season
win over Tampa, was unable to move
the ball out of their own territory
during the first period and barely
averted a shutout in the final session
when halfback Art .Park pounded over
from the one.
The inital Buccaneer score was set
up when halfback Toppy Hayes re-
turned a Hatter punt 17 yards to the
home team's 3 yard marker. Emo
Boado picked up six yards and a
fifteen yard penalty moved the ball
to the nine. From there Cherry pitched
to Rhodes in the end zone. King's
kick was good to give the Bucs a
7-0 margin.
Neither team scored for the remain-
der of the first half but the hard
charging Pirate line led by by Bobby
Hodges, Willie Holland and Johnny
Brown kept the Green and White well
away from the Pirate goal.
Second Half
Claude King received the second
half kick-off for the Bucs and returned
38 yards to the Stetson 40 before
being stopped. King, Jack Britt and
Boyd Webb alternated to move the
ball to the Hatters' 22 yard line from
where King twisted into the second-
ary and outraced "the defenders to the
goal. Bu' ba Matthews kicked the
point to give the Bucs a 14-0 margin.
Boyd Webb provided the thrill of
Locals Meet Belmont Abbey
In First Of 19 Cage Games
the charging Pirate line shook
the ball loose with Johnny Brown
recovering on the Hatters' 20. Emo
Boado picked up ground a few yards
at a time and finally drove over from
the 1. Bobby Hodges booted the point
to put East Carolina in front 27-0 at
the three quarter mark.
Stetson Scores
A screen pass good for 24 yards
plus an unnecessary roughness penal-
ty moved Stetson to the East Carolina
one yard line soon after the fourth
period began. Park carried over but
the placement attempt was wide.
The final tally came with but 20
seconds remaining on the clock. Boyd
Hooper, the Bucs fourth quarter-
back to see action, pitched a pass to
Tom Allsbrock in the end zone. Mat-
thews added the point.
Score by quarters:
East Carolina 7 0 20 13 40
Stetson 0 0 0 6 6
Scoring: East Carolina, touch-
downs, Rhodes, King, Webb, Boado,
O'Kelly and Allsbrook. EP: King,
Matthews 2, Hodges. Stetson, Touch-
down, Park.
It was like a second homecoming
away from home?the 40-6 whipping
the Pirates laid on the Stetson Hat-
ters. The pistol hot East Carolinians
jaunted the porous Florida crew with-
out mercy. It was sweet solace for
the setback handed them by Tampa
on the previous Saturday.
As the second half got under way
so did the Pirates. It was nothing
short of mayhem. The rain ceased
but he touchdowns began to pour.

Regular Schedule
With 8-1 Record
Ole' Man Football bowed out last
week at East Carolina, leaving the
Pirates with one of the most suc-
cessful seasons in the history of the
school. A January 1 bowl bid for
the Bucs remains in the picture but
the regular schedule was completed
with the 40-6 romp over Stetson.
Leading the Pirates to their final
mark of eight wins against one loss
were soph quarterback Dick Cherry
and senior end and co-captain Bobby
Hodges. Cherry, a top candidate for
Little All-American honors, pitched
17 touchdown passes while Hodges,
also a candidate for post-season
honors, gathered in ten scoring tosses

Breaking into the scoring column
in one form or the other for the Bucs
were no less than 13 players in
addition to Cherry and Hodges. Larry
Rhodes, Emo Boado, Teddy Barnes,
Tom Allsbrook, Bubba Matthews,
Claude King, Paul Gay, Boyd Webb,
Jim Stanley, Jack Britt, John
Daughtry, Harold O'Kelly and Toppy
Hayes all tallied points in one form
or the other for the locals.
The line was headed by such stal-
warts as Willie Holland, Johnny
Brown, George Tucker, Algie Fair-
cloth, Lou Hallow, Don Burton, Da-
vid Lee, Al Habit and Tubby Thomas.
The Buccaneers opened their season
with a 41-0 romp over Wilson Teach-
ers College of Washington, D. C.
Following that they stomped through
the North State Conference in rapid
fashion to compile a perfect 6-0
record and gain their first league
title. Included as victims were: Lenoir
Rhyne, 34-0; Catawba, 13-6; Elon,
45-25; Western Carolina, 26-7; Guil-
ford, 40-0. and Appalachian, 40-7.
Two weeks ago Tampa University
upset the Pirates 18-13 but the locals
bounced back to blast Stetson Uni-
versity 40-6 in the season's finale.
A look at the final tally shows a
292 point scoring total for the locals

touchdowns per game?against 59
points (an average of 6 per game)
for the opposition.
edition.
Britt, co-captain from Fairmont,
has been an outstanding halfback
for the Pirates for the last three
years. A real mercury-heelod scooter
who gave his best for the East Caro-
'ina colors, Jack will certainly leave
a hard spot to fill on the campus
is well as on the gridiron.
Bobby Hodges is another senior
ithlete who has help lift East Caro-
'ina to a pedestal never before reach-
ed. The towering 6-5 ace is as
versatile a sportsman as they come.
Bobby is endowed with talent for both
football and basketball. He scored
? touchdowns this past grid season
and has bucketed 1,354 points on the
hardwood during the past three sea-
sons. Replacing Bobby is going to be
a tremendous task.
Selected honorary captain by his
teammates when he was forced to
iiscontinue football in 1952 because
of an injury, John Daughtry per-
formed in fine fashion vhen given
the opportunity this year. The big
fullback from Wilmington showed
freaks of brilliance during the past
campaign with his clutch running
and his presence will certainly be
missed.
A hard-hitting tackle who has bem
one of the oak barriers in the Pirates'
defense all season, Johnny Brown
leaves a prominent impression with
us by his loyalty to East Carolina
on the gridiron. Johnny always gave
everything: he had and his number
43 in the lineup contributed much
to EC's finest football year.

With the return of six kttermen
and host of promising freshmen and
transfers, Coach Howard Porter will
ring up the curtain on the 19.53-64
basketball season wven the Bucca-
nceij travel to Greensboro to meet
Belmont- Abbey December 1.
(According to the schedule just

last year. They dropped contests to
North Carolina Umversit- , Lenoir

in the North State tournament, and
to Arkansas Teachers in the NAIA
tournament in Kansag City.
Although the Bucs lot their big

answers.
With submissions limited exclusive-
ly to undergraduates in the United
States and Canada, students will
present their prophesies in the form
of a 10,000 word novelette, basing
their predictions on classsoom work,
their own interpretations of the trend
today and their imaginations.
The form of a novelette has been
selected as a medium by the editors of
'IF" magazine, sponsor of the contest,
because 10,000 words can be handled
more easily by amateur writers than
a long novel, which requires too much
time and experience. The editors
belu red there are a great many young
people in colleges who would like
o express their ideas and fancier on
the opportunity. Professional writers
attending college will not be eligible
to enter.
Ideas, imagination and plausibility
will count more than actual writing
skill. The background can be any
phase of life. The scene can be a
city, village or the country. Plots can
be built around a family group or a
single character.
First prize is $1,000 in cash, with
six runners up receiving an additional
$1,000 in prizes. Students submitting
manuscripts must have them in the
mails before midnight Maj 15, 1954.
Winners will be announced nationally
the first week in September.

Four seniors at East Carolina
spent last week as apprentice teachers
in schools of Lenoir County. Their
work included both observing and
teaching and is being done under the
guidance of Merle Scott, Kinston
school supervisor; H. H. Bullock
superintendent of Kinston schools;
and principals of schools concerned in
the project.
During the fall quarter, now term-
inating at the college, the seniors
are doing student teaching in the in-
termediate grades of the campus
Training School. They were chosen as
apprentice teachers because of high
scholastic records and demonstrated
ability as student teachers.
The East Carolina students and
their assignment in Lenoir County
are: Martina Con way of Greenville, in
the eighth grade of the Contentnea
school, Mrs. Lucile Hoker, teacher;
dale Dorsey of Wrightsville Beach, in j
the sixth grade of the Southwood
.school, Mrs. Lillian Kintz, teacher;
Mrs. Drusilla Hodges of Pine Brook,
N. J in the seventh grade at the
Moss Hill school, Mrs. Zulienne
McArthur, teacher; and Peggy Ken-
nedy of Kinston, in tihe seventh grade
at the Deep Run school, Margaret
Hull, teacher.
Thursday, the Lenoir county teach-
ers participating in the project visited
the Training School on the East Caro-
lina campue and visited classrooms
of the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades. Supervising teachers at the
Training School who served as their
hostesses were Mrs. Myrtle Clark,
Mrs. Ellen Carroll and Elizabeth Hy-
man.
The apprentice teacher exchange
program is now in its third year of
operation at Eas,t Carolina. The
object is to evaluate good teaching
practices, to exchange new ideas, to
promote closer college relationships
with teaching problems in the field
and to raise educational standards by
developing better teaching tech-
niques.
