All of his friends called him Peahead, and his enemieshad various namesfor him which generally reflected either on his parentage or his legitimacy or both. Peahead Walker gave Wake Forest more coachingper dollar than any institution of higher learningever extracted from a football man in the history of the game. He instilled in his players a fierce desire to win, for they had rather face the devil himself with a bad Monday hangover than to writhe under the scourge of Peahead’s vitriolic tongue. The trouble with Peahead those days was that he lacked the modicum of hypocrisy necessary to be acceptable to all the clergy who roamed about in Baptist Bottom. In fact, when some of the good brethren visiting the Wake Forest campus on ecclesias tical matters saw fit to visit the football practice session. Peahead seemed to spew forth an even more impressive barrage of lan guage than he ordinarily did. Whatever reason you may have heard, and whatever else may have mitigated the situation, Peahead really left Wake Forest because he was strangling on Baptist preachers. The fierce desire to win mentioned above was predicated largely on fear. For while most of his hulking behemoths towered over Pea head by a good 12 inches and sol id hundred pounds, they were scared to death of him. And this unreasoning apprehension was shared by most of the sportswriters who languished in the business at that time. But for all his ferocity, Peahead turned out to be a paper tiger. Inside, the man has always been warm and cursed with an intense loyalty to his friends and to the things in which he believed. It was this very loyalty to his principles that prevented his com promise with the meddling bands of roving clergymen who infest ed the Wake Forst campus. So, he hauled off to Canada where he was an uncommon success in the Professional Canadian League. In recent years Peahead has been a scout for the New York football Giants and much in demand as an after-dinner speaker whose salty style and incisive wit could at once convulse and impress audien ces of all ages and inclinations. Presbyterian College's tennis team ran its record to 9-3 Tues day with a convincing 9-0 triumph over Harvard University. The Blue Hose will journey to Athens, Ga., today for a match with the University of Georgia and will be at Georgia Tech Fri day. On Saturday, the Husemen will return to their home court, hosts Columbia University and CHS Baseball Team Blanks Union 2-0 Clinton High School’s baseball team blanked Union 2-0 last week for its second straight victory of the season. Tommy Motes went the seven inning distance for Clinton and held the Union Yellow Jackets to only two hits. Motes struck out nine and walked only two. Andy Ellis led Clinton’s six- hit attack with two hits in three trips to the plate. The loss for the first of the season for Union which had won its first two games. Clinton now has a 2-0 Eastern Conference record and will be at home today, April 2, to York’s Green Dragons in another confer ence game. will be at home to Western Ken tucky Tuesday and to Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday. In the win over Harvard, No. 1 George Amaya won the top sin gles match, 6-2,6-2 over Tom Brock.

Cnag McKenzie came from behind to win 1-6, 6-2, 6-4. Campbell won 6-3, 6-2. PC swept the doubles compe tition in straight sets. It was the second straight shut out scored by the Blue Hose as they also defeated Ohio Univer sity 9-0 last Saturday in straight sets. CHS Girls Top Jackson The Clinton High School girls’ tennis team squared their record at 2-2 Tuesday with an easy 9-0 win over Andrew Jackson High of Cheraw.

Presbyterian College’s track team will open its home sche dule Tuesday, April 7, against Guilford College. The Blue Hose tracksters lost 76-68 to Wofford in the season’s opener last week in Spartanburg and are to face St. Andrews Col lege in Laurinburg,N. C., on Fri day. In the loss to Wofford, PC was without three of its returning let- termen, including Doug Bowles, the top point man on last year’s team. Bowles, who injured an ankle in an intramural basket ball game, is just now rounding back into form and may run a- gainst St. Andrews. Bowles is PC’s top sprinter. Javeline thrower Bob Cosby has been out with an illness but he also may be ready for the St. Andrews meet. Hurdler Tom Porter also missed the Wofford meet because of illness and his status is un certain. Thornwell product Rick Little was the top point man for PC in the Wofford meet as he gar nered 10 points, winning both the mile run and the two-mile run. A senior, he has won three track letters prior to this season. Bill Caldwell, a junior from Atlanta, Ga., put together an un usual combination of events to garner 7 1/4 points. Caldwell placed second in the shot put and then finished second in the 100- yard dash. Freshman Bobby Whiteside of Columbia also had 7 1/4 points, winning the 880- yard run and running a leg on the mile relay team. In 1968, White- side held the state record in the 880 while a student at A. C. Flora High School. PC Coach Bob Strock com mented, “Right now, it appears CHS Tennis Team Visits Woodruff Sporting a 4-2 record, Clinton High School’s tennis team visits Woodruff Friday.

Peahead knew he was tone-deaf, but he sang anyway. .. I Wed.
