April 30,1982 The Voice Page 11 Gridders Complete Spring Drills Coach William “Bill” Head of Fay etteville State University has completed football spring drills and about com pleted his first cycle at the CIAA con ference institution. “We’re looking at 1982 with high optimism,” said the former defensive coach at Morris Brown College. After suffering through a 3-6 cam paign last season, the Broncos are aiming above the .500 mark this season and open the 1982 season, on the road for a non-conference encounter with Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. This pigskin lid-lifter at Atlanta opens a ten-game schedule for the Bronco-men which includes eight CIAA foes and two non-conference games. Essentially, the Broncos will only lose All-CIAA punter Bertie Wadford from last year’s team and coach Head has some strong veterans returning. Coach Head is expecting big things and leadership from senior tackle Tyrone Kelly, junior guard Freddie Garrett, and senior defensive end Bar ney Mason. Senior running back Reggie Williams, last year’s leading rusher, leads the backfield returnees for ’82. Williams, hampered by injuries most of his career, rushed for 482 yards in 102 tries. In the quarterback slot, Sylvester Robinson and Walter Seldon are the primary candidates for the star ting role. However, coach Head cautions that no one on the squad will have a position “sewed up.” “In scouting, I’m very honest with the players. I tell them I hold no positions open for anyone, freshmen players or returning players. “Everytime we line up on Mondays, we’ve got 22 positions open. We don’t want anyone getting to feel like they have a position locked up and don’t have to try. However, the Bronco boss does not feel that the entire starting lineup will change from week to week. Hopefully, according to coach Head, once some starts pride will automatically take over. “That’s the aim when you’ve got a system where everybody plays,” he said. “We want the peole who can do thejob.” S .

Greek-Four Basketball Tournament Recently, the four greek fraternities on campus (Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Beta Sigma, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi) involved themselves in a Greek-Four basketball tournament. The purpose of this function was to organize a Greek function that would serve to bring students out and give them another aspect of what Greek- dom is about. Well, it worked. This function was very well attended by the students, for on both nights the tour nament was held, the women’s gym was virtually packed. On the first night of play, Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi paired off and were immediately followed by a match between Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma. In the end. Alpha Phi ,Alpha and Kappa Alpha, Psi were vic torious and matched skill and wit on the following night to decide who would emerge as champions. The game was hard fought to the bitter end but when the battle was over and the dust had cl^red, Kappa Alpha' Psi found themselves in the winners seat. Congratulations Kappa Alpha Psi.
