This year,s team was led by Co-Captains George Fletcher and Larry Ferrell, who filled the forward positions. In addition to the co-captains who were regular season starters last year, the starting lineup consisted of Don Tice, center, with Tommy Smith and Ierry Goodwin filling the positions of guards. The starting squad was dominated by Seniors, but one junior, jerry Goodwin, capably filled his place on the starting five. In addition to his season regulars, Coach Blake had three boys who almost always broke into the line- up. These were Kenneth Stallings, Ronnie Strickland, and Bobby Hardister. First row: Ierry Goodwin, Tommy Smith, Chuck Zinger, and Calvin Porterfield. Second row Don Mit- chell, Manager, Ronnie Strickland, Bobby Boone, Marcus King, Kenneth Sarvis, and Bobby Hardister.

East Durham 14 This year the Freshmen did a much better job than a glance at the record might indicate. The Baby Rebels encountered Northern in the first game of the season. Their schedule also included E. K. Powe, Chapel Hill, and East Durham. Basi- cally the aim of the Freshman team was to acquire the fundamentals of the sport in order that they may fitmore easily into varsity competition. Although thc record may not be as impressive as those of other schools, let us remember that the Baby Rebels are not out only to win the game, but to learn the tricks of the trade. Serving as Coach of the Freshman team is Mr. ,Iames Blake. He began Working out with the boys during the latter part of August and spent many hours trying to help the team develop fundamental skills.
