Smith Univ.
Wins 5-6th

- By BILL JOHNSON

CHARLOTTE; N. C.~Johnson
C. Smith University~s basketball
team gained its fifth and sixth
victories against only three losses
this season with triumphs over
Livingstone College and Saint
Augusting s College last week.

With Joseph Crenshaw and Clarence Barnes, a pair of eagle-eyed
sophomores showing the way, the
Herd walloped Livingstone, 61-60,

here Tuesday night and then:

laced Saint Augustine~s at Raleigh, 76-56, Friday night.

Crenshaw, scoring at a 19.3
gait, hit for 47 points while
Barnes was getting 36 in the two
contests. A 21 point. scorer in
his freshman year last season,
Barnes is slowly rounding into
top shooting form and has pulled
his average up to 15.8 on 111
points for seven contests. Crenshaw has tallied 116 in six games.

In addition to the one-two salvo
cof Barnes and Crenshaw, Smith
has three other players who are
seering well. Junior John Crawford, sophomore George Johnson
and freshman Richard Gainés are
just under the double figure, or
10-point per game average.

As a unit, the Smith crew is
averaging 72.3 on 651 points for
seven games as compared to a
well-knitted defense which has
held the opposition to only 544
points for a 60.4 average.

The Bulls are ahead of their
adversaries in the vital rebound
department, 326-271, for an.average of 46.5 as against 38.7 for
the opponents.

pose ~cf the camp will be to evaluate the players invited on potential and improvement.

~We hope to accelerate the ~advancement of some of these -
players toward a higher classification in 1959,~~ he added.

of players. In the group will be
only one player from the Tiger
roster. He is Bob -Jingling, infielder, who has been in the Air
Force for three years:. Seven
pJayers are returned servicemen
and five are newly signed.

The Johnson Victory

~The quest for human ~equality.
cannot be ~swept under the
rug.~. Human rights are not negotiable. This is the great undone business~ of democracy;
no journey into outer space can
take men~s minds off the degradation which so many American. citizens still endure, and
against which great multitudes
are rebelling throughout the
universe~The New York Post.
