CAAOVINA TIMES UN»lt|Oi,il)" SAT« PiB. 30. 19(0 Executive jfoids A&T- Free Throw Disputed Game Tossed Out BY PERRY LEAZER llic I'eiitrnl, liittTitdlr^iativ Atliktii- Association Exccutivc ConiniiHte lia* trased the 71-fxS virtory i i cordcd liy N’ortli arn lilia A. ami T. Cullcjfc over Winston-Salem Teachers College Jwiuary 16, lycO. Contereiic? I’rtsident Dr. Thomas ilcixli.-rsnn of VirRinia Union, sent each member a copy I'Totcr.t filed by Win ston-Salem Teachers Collej^e and rejiort of th«' ofik-ials fron-. the ClAA Basketball Commissifinrr’s office, Frank lUirnctt. Aocording to Burnett, each meml)cr of the committee weighed the evidence anti voted. The vote was ))i"actlcallv unatiimotij. A crowd of 4,000 fans saw a hectic last two and one half minutes of play -at Winston-Salem's Memorial Coliseum be tween the Aggies and the Rams, two of the state’s most ardent rivals. Xhe closing minutes of the contest was marred by confu- sioHi resulting from an error at the free thfow line and the otticial's decision correctinR tlic error. Briefly, this is what happened: The Rams were leading with ^:20 to play when WSTC ace Cluirlie Kiley was fouled by the Aggies. The A. and T. quint callcd time out at this point, and after play was resumed, C!eo Hill stepped tOi-the foiil line and sank two free throws in .i imc-and-one situation, giving Winston-Salem a OS-fi.S i)ul^^c. I'lie A;jf^ies threw the ball in, the Rams stole it and Hill scored to give WinstonvSalem a 7065 spread. But, by this tim? A. and T. Coach Cal Irwin called the free throw error to the attention of Tom ConraB, timekeeper. He blew the buzzer with A. and T. in posse:siin ur/'er the bas ket. Invin explained the one-and-one foul shots converted by Hill should ■have been taken by Charlie Kiley, and not Hill, siwe Riley was the Ram player fouled. Leroy Walker, referee, then ordered the score returned to tl^ 66-65 margin and Riley to take the free throw, Riley missed, A. and T. recovered and Don Edwards .sank a fieki goal, giving the Aggies a 67-66 lead with 1 :26 left to play. The lead changed hands once more, then with 1 :15 to go Holtzclaw put the Aggies out front 69-68, and they were never again headed. " The Ejcecutive Committee weighed this along w'ith a report byi-Leroy W'alker, referee, t/> Frank I’.urnett. Burnett's olTice has not released this report to the public. The decision erase the victory' from A. anti T.’s record and the loss from the Rams card could seriously affect the final outcome of the CT.\.\ visftation race. Presently tlie Aggies are in first place with a record of l.i-2. The Rams arc in fourth place ^'^'^th a record of 12-2. The ;\ggii,s meet the Rams on Saturday, February 20, 1060. Since 1947, when Jackie Robinson broke in with Brooklyn Dodgers as the first sepia player in National League history, only three white players have won the Most Valuable Player Award in the NafiSnal League. These were Jim Konstantj', Robin Roberts, and Hank Bauer. Meanwhile, Roy Campanella W'on the award three times, Erme Banks, twice; Willie Mays, Jackie Robinst»n, Don Newcombe, one each. Quite an achieve ment. We think Ernie Banks has a good chance to become one of the immortals to win this award three times in a row.
