The Reserve Officers Training Corps at Northeast is designed to enable college students to prepare themselves for leadership in military service. This organization, under the leadership of competent U. S. Army personnel, offers young men greater opportunities for adjustment and to have confidence in themselves and their fellow Americans. Completion of a four-year COurse in the R.O.T.C makes the graduate eligible for a commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve.

DEVONE PAYNE

Coach Payne, at the end of his second year at Northeast State, has proved himself a very able coach of football. Payne has developed marked improvemen ts in the Indian squad in his sho rt time here, and, with these improvements in mind , the people of North east and Northeast Lou isia na can look forward to Indian victories for the forthcoming years.

Payne was, before his arrival on our campus , head footba ll coach at Louisiana College. He a lso coached at Tallulah, N evi lle, Ouachita Parish, G ilbert and Winnsboro High Schools.

vs ... Stephen F, Austin Lumberjacks , . , As heavy underdogs, our squad upset all predictions when they held the gian Lumberjacks to a close 15-6 win, The Tribe's gang tackling seemed to be the cbief factor in their determined, although losin~ effort.

[n the first period it looked bad for our sCJuad as a high pass from center was culminated into a safety for W . K. when quick thinking Wade dropped on the ball in his own end zone to prevent a possible T. D . for the visitors. From here on it was all for the Tribe. Leos smashed over for the first goal on a IO-yard jaunt over the right tackle. The longest run from scr immage of the entire season was executed by Powell , who took advantage of a terrific block by Melancon and sped 86 yards to pay-dirt for a 21-9 victo ry.

vs ... Northweste1'll . .. Spearheaded by a hard-charging forward wall, which included such able men as "Red" Yocom Sherrod McKoin, Jim Berry, C. J. Melancon and Bob Windle, the Indians held the Demons scoreless in the first quarte while making 7 points on a pass from Wade to Driskill. The lead was short lived, however, as the Demons came rollin! back to score two T. D .' s in the second quarter and one each in the third and fourth to "ice'" a 27-7 victory.

vs ... Loui.riana Col/ege Wildeal.r ... After spotting the Wildcats 7 points in the first five minutes of play, the Redskins put

on a war march that proved too much for the fighting Cats.

Led by the cool-headed quarterbacking of Reynolds, the run ning of Powell, Leos, Wade and Franklin, the Northeast team

ground out three touchdowns by the end of the third quarter, and at the final whistle the Indians were in possession of the

ball only inches from another SCOre. The Preachers' final score arne in the third quarter to climax a 7s-yard sustained drive

led by the running of Eugene Southern. The hard-charging

Indian forward wall and th e superb punting of Wade were the main factors in keeping th e Wildcats from gloryland.

vs _ .. Loui.riana Tech Buf/dog.r ... The Indian squad traveled

to Ruston determined to debunk the 50-point underdog rating of all pre-game predictions, and they did just that. Trailing by

only 14 points, the Northeast gridders reaped tremendous applause of the entire gallery at the end of the half. They were

met with the same ovation at the final whistle as they left the

1

! field with a moral victory in holding the Bulldogs to a 35-14 count. To _cite any outstanding performance is difficult as the

team played its best game of the season.
