PAGE 8 THE VOICE NOVEMBER 30, 1975 CAGE LEADER FSU CAGE LEADER-Arnold Chambers (22) 6-1 guard for Fayetteville State University (N.C.) currently leads the team in individual statistics. The Kittrell college transfer student is averaging 16 points per game. The Delaware native scored 26 points in the season opener at Va. State in losing cause for the broncos as the Trojans downed FSU, 116-90. After five games, the Broncos are 1-4 overall and stand 1-2 in the ClAA. (FSVJ Phot by J. Bf Henderson) SEVEN OX ALL-STAR TEAM FAYETTEVILLE-Fayetteville State University, having posted a ‘75 grid record of 7-3, placed seven seniors on the ALL- NAIA District 29 football team. However, to the surprise of many football observers, All- CIAA full back James Godwin was omitted. Godwin, who gained over 1000 yards last year and added 970 this season, was “voted most valuable player” last year by his teammates and was a natural choice for CIAA conference honors, and will probably repeat this year. The Fayetteville native has scored eight TDs for the year with 48 total points. The pros are high on the track-football great and he has been scouted heavily all tois season. Also, it is a strong possibility that Godwin should be selected as one of the BLACK COLLEGE ALL-AMERICANS, an event sponsored by Mutual Radio Network and General Motors Cor poration which will be announced December 10 at Washington, D.C., and hosted by Mutual Black Sports Director, Ron Pinkney. The FSU Broncos who made the NAIA Dist. 29 team are: Gffense-Ronald Crawford, end; Jackie Simmons, Guard; Tim Heath, running back; and Wayne Bythwood, flanker. Defense-Charles Boyd, guard-tackle; James Saunders, end; and Maurice Franks, defensive back. Faith (Continued from Page 1) possible with God’s help. We know that there will always be enough to meet our every need if we only have faith. Because God is in all of us, we have no reason to fear anything in the world. Faith links us to God and we know that through God we can accomplish all the good things life has to offer. Faith is not something vested in some few but it is an active part of each individual- to be developed and nurtured it is a gift to each and every one by God almighty. Faith will fill us with strength and courage to do all that needs to be done. Faith will eliminate all negative thoughts. The power of faith will erase fear thoughts and emotions, giving us all the ccHirage to go forward and accomplish good things. There is no need to fear today or tomorrow if we but develop our faith in God. Faith con ditions our whole approach to life-it enables us to meet whatever comes-it enables us to know that with God all things are possible. Mildred Hayes sums it all: I lighted a candle of faith in my heart, So small, just a nebulous flame at the start, Yet tended faithfully with care. In thought, in deed, in constant prayer. The flame grew strong, unflickering, bright. Til now it sheds a revealing light That finds, and swiftly puts to rout The darkest darkness of doubt. “Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. No one was there”. Sherma H. Lindsey CIAA TOURNEY IN HAMPTON DON’T FORGET TO SEE ALL THE CIAA TOUR NAMENT ACTION IN HAMPTON, VIRGINIA FEBRUARY 26. 27, AND 28 AT HAMPTON ROADS COLISIEUM.

ALL AMERICA I Senator — A man who is so busy talking he hasn’t the time to think about it. Geraniums get their name from the German word for crane since it’s believed the fruit looks like a crane’s bill. It is a wise father that knows his own child. FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIV. ALL-AMERICAN--James Godwin, Fayetteville State University (N.C.) senior fullback (25) was named recently in the 1975 Black All-America football team. The Fayetteville native scored eight TDs this season and com piled over 900 yards. Last year he gained over 1000 yards and made 9 TDs, all school rwords. In addition, he averaged over 90 yards per game the past two years and was named the ALL-CIAA team for the second straight year. (FSU Photo by John B. Hen derson) JAME§ CODWIIV CLOSES BRILLIANT CAREER AT FSIJ by John B. Henderson, Director Sports Information FAYETTEVILLE-Track-star-turned-footba 11-running back atFayettevilleState University James Godwin, has just hung up his Fayetteville State University (N.C.) football cleats as a Bronco. But this niodest and muscalar fleet-running young athlete will go down in the annuals of sports history at his alma mater located in the sandhills of southeastern North Carolina. Born in nearby Godwin, N.C., he hardly knew how to hold a football when he stepped on the campus a few years back. Godwin had played ball during his last year of high school and college scouts knew he had the tools. However, due to merging of schools in the county, he had limited played at a new high school' which got a lot of recognition because of his amazing ability. The rest is history. Though he got little playing time his first two years at FSU, he made up for it the last two seasons. In 1974, a losing season for the Ray McDougal-coached squed, Godwin amassed over 100 yards, scored nine TDs, made All- CIAA, was named “Most Valuable Player” by hiS'team, but the Broncos won only four games while losing seven. This year, the All-American track star piled up 987 yards for the Broncos, scored eight TDs, and averaged over 10i2 yards rushing per contest. FSU finished the season with a 7-3 record and Godwin showed up in three categories in CIAA statistics, individual rushing, total offense, and scoring. He is almost certain to repeat conference honors and is a high candidate for the BLACK COLLEGE ALL-AMERICANS event sponsored by Mutual Radio Network and General Motors Cor poration. The affair will be held December 10 in Washington, D.C. and hosted by Mutual Black Sports Director, Ron Pinkney. Naturally, Godwin has been scouted heavily by the pros all season and is expected to go high in the draft. His exploits and the gridiron at FSU has set new records which will likely stand for some time. But above all of this, James Godwin is a true gentleman, a good student, and a fine representative of Fayetteville State University who has set forth many quality attributes.
