James H. "Fuzzy Williams was for two years co-captain of the Eagle squads (1940 and 1941). He played safety for the 1941 team which went undefeated in the regular season, lost a Peach Bowl game to Morris Brown Col­lege, and then lost the entire record with the discovery that one of the NCCU players was ineligible. He served as head football and basketball coach at Elizabeth City State College, a department and athletic chairman at Bethune ­Cookman College, and a faculty member at Delaware State College. At Delaware State he was also head baseball coach, chairman of the health and physical education department, and director of athletics.
