Northeast Louisiana State College has its

$2,000,000 bUilding program well under way. We

feel that our operating appropriation has been

sufficiently increased to permit expansion to be

carried out in an orderly and efficient manner. Our increase in enrollment over the c orre

sponding periods of the previous year continues

to run more than 20 per cent. There has been no

ten dency, as yet, for the enrollment t o level

an upset. With the aid of quarterback Pete Chambless, Carey Pearson, substitute Alton McCready, and end Dan An drews, the tribe led wi th a 127 SCOre at half time. The second half was fought on even terms un til late in the final stanza when the Texas team managed to push across another TD and win a 13 12 thri ller.

For the third game Coach Payne took his squad to Delta State College in Cleveland, Mi ss. Because of fumbles in the early part of the game the Delta Statesmen scored twice before the Indians could get settled to stop them. In the third period halfback Bob Scogin and fullback Clayton Cox scored while still a third . to uchdown drive fi zz led deep in the enemy's territory. Del ta State once again intercepted a pass which broke the Indians' spirit, and the Statesmen won with a 30 12 victory.

'The tea.m stop o.oe of thei r rOa

Coming up for the fifth game for the Tribe was Western Kentucky in Bowling Green. After journeying there, Northeast gave the undefeated , untied Hilltoppers a run for their money. Paced by the outstanding defensive work of the line and the hard running of fullback, Mack Powell , the Indians managed to hold the Kentucky team to a 12-7 half time lead . The second half found both squads threatening

to score several times. Late in the fin al quarter, Northeast seemed to forge ahead with a winning spiri t only to see it fade awa y on the 10 yard stripe. Unable to stop a last minute touchdown by the Kentuckians, the team had to take a 19-7 loss.

The McNeese State College took advantage of early Northeast fumbles to score three times in the first half which allowed them to take tbe Indians' sca lp by a 27-6 score. Playing on even terms for the rest of th e game, the team, however, found it too late for a victory.

Playing inspired ball before a large homecoming crowd, the Tribe came from behind in the second half to overcome a 21-13 deficit at half time and win by a 44-28 margm over Livingston State College. Sparked by halfback Tommy Leos and quarterback Pete Chambless, the Indians rolled up 35 points in the third and fourth periods to the delight of homecoming alumni. Tbis defeat of Livingston State earned th e squad and their classmates a holiday.

Coaches Payne and Luff er take to the fie ld to give their team winning pointers in practice .. .

The Demons from Northwestern State College proved to be too swift and strong for Nor theast in her eighth game of the season. Although the first half of the game was played evenly, the reserve strength of the opposi tion began to show in the third period, and it continued to roll on to g ive the Indians a 51-6 defeat.

In the game against Louisiana College, played in Pineville, Coach Payne pitted his men against his old former team. Starting fas t, the Indians scored two touchdowns before the enemy could SCore even once. The men for La. College came back after the half to command a 19-13 lead, going into the final minutes of play. Determined to give Coach Payne a victory over his oJd school, the Northeast squad made a last desperate drive which culminated in a game tieing touchdown. The kick for an extra point was no good and the game ended in a dead lock-19-19.

PETE FINLAYSON WAS TEAM STATISTICI AN for the '54 season. He was also active in team pub licity by writing for the school and local papers.

The last and all-important game of the season for the Northeast Indians was played against the Bulldogs of Louisiana Tech in Ru ston. The Tribe held the mighty team do\vn during the first half with a Tech lead of 13-6. The second half began to tell the lack of reserve strength for the Indians, and the visitors from Ruston chewed up the yardage and rolled up the score. As a result of being out-manned and out-weighed, the Northeast team went down defeated 51-6.

BASEBALL

With only seven lettermen returning for the 1954

Northeast s'luad, this baseball season had to be a job of rebuilding for Coach George Luffey, who was in his freshman year as manager. However, Northeast's inexperienced , freshman-laden outfit stayed in competition all season for the Gulf State Conference title, winding up with a record of nine wins and eigh t losses for the year. H aving a six won six loss conference record, left fielder Tommy Leos cracked the balloting for the All-Gulf State Conference team, wi th "Bo" Laird as pitcher also making the team. Given consideration in the balloting was Joe Jordan, pitcher.

Shortstop, Don Stewart , leads off f irst in cooferen(e .'Same wi th McNeese State .

T ommy Leos led the s'luad in hitting with a .342 mark, followed by H arold Moore with .318 and J immy Bradley with .313.

Northeast scored two wins each over Mississippi College and McNeese State; lost to the professional Alexandria "Aces"; and split with Delta State, Southwes tern, Northwestern, Louisiana College, and Louisiana Tech. The champion Southeastern nine proved a jinx to the Indians as th ey lost both games to this opponent.

Northeast finished the season in a third place tie with Louisiana Tech in conference standings.
