Howard Track
Team Second in
CIAA Tourney
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
The Howard University track
team, all but counted out of
the Central Intercollegiate Ath
letic Association trade and
field championships, surprised
a host of perennial conference
powerhouses and took second
place in the meet held at Mst
gan State College in Baltimore,
May 9 and 10.
For the Biaon, it was their
best showing in the tough,
18-team CIAA in 21 years.
In 1948 a Howard team won
the conference champlonahip,
but since that time it has been
all downhill.
Paced by William Ritchie,
the Beckley (W.Va.) Bullet
' the blue and white of Howard,
stunned a capacity crowd in
Hughes Stadium, as if finished
behind Morgan State in the
final team standing, 45 - 32.
Ritchie, a college division
Ail-American, streaked to vic
tory in the 100 yard dash with
a time of :9.5, beating Mor
gan's Ray Pollard and Norfolk
State's Coleman Thomas, two
1 of the top sprinters in the
conference.
Later, in the 220- yard
dash, Ritchie and Olympic
gold medal winner Vlnee Mat
thews of J. C. Smith staged a
blistering battle to the wire,
with Matthews nipping Richie
at the tape. Matthews finished
at -.21.0, Ritchie was clocked
at : 21.1.
However Ritchie wasn't
through. Running lead-off fqr
the mile relay team, he turned
as astonishing :46.5 for the
first leg, and the team went on
to capture the even with a
record time of 3:10.9.

Code, a junior defensive
halfback, is a native of Seneca,
S. C. He is an engineering
mathematics major and an
honor student. Last season he
was named to the All-CIAA
team and the District 26 NAIA
team.
Pearson, who hails from
Winston-Salem, was an NAIA
Ail-American flanker and re
cently signed a pro contract
with the Miami Dolphins.
Williamson, a native of
Lawndale, is an outstanding
outfielder on the Aggie base
ball team. He holds A&T's re
cord for stolen bases in a single
game (nine) and was named
the NCAA College Division's
base-stealing champ in 1968.

GREENSBORO - North

Vl»f practice hat wart.
Aggie coach Hornaby Howell
immediately predicted that hie
-teem "might win three or four
game* if we Ye lucky.
"Nfext aeeaon will be a
rough one," added Howell ,
who guided the Aggies to an
8-1 record last year. "We slip
ped up on some people laat
year because they took us
Hghtly. That wont happen
apln."
Even ao, A&T is expected to
be thick in the fight for the
CIAA championship. Just as
laat aeeaon, apring practice
revealed that the Aggies' forte
will be defenae, its shorcoming
depth.
In the fpring drills, Howell
came up with a defensive
secondary unit of rising seniors
Merl Code, Doug Westmore
land, Mike Warren, and William
Hargrave.
Code will be A&T's candi
date for little All-America
honors and Westmoreland, like
his brother Dickie (Miami
Dolphins), is a pro prospect.
The Aggies will start the
season with 25 lettermen. Guid
ing the offense will be sensa
tional quarterback Stanley
Jacobs, who tossed 14 touch
downs last season.
Flanking Jacobs will be

Aggies Dump
Hornets to
Defend Crown
By RICHARD MOORE
RICHMOND. Va.—ln future
preparations for championship
playoffs, A&T bgseball coach
Mel Groomes may change his
usual strategy and limit his
players to four hours of sleep
the night before the big game.
At least, that amount of
sleep proved sufficient for the
Aggies to beat Delaware State
7-4 last Monday night for the
CIAA title. It was A&Ts Bth
championship in 15 years.
A&Ts bus broke down Sun
day night enroute from Rich
mond to Greensboro. The Ag
gies grabbed a quick snooze,
then took off for Richmond
again. It worked out just fine.
"These kids played the way
I have been trying to get them
to play all season," said a hap
py Groomes. "They just did
everything right. We found out
what we will have to do In the
forthcoming NAIA playoffs in
Greensboro and we are look
ing forward to it."
The Aggies pushed across 3
runs in the top of the 10th
inning to whip the Hornets.
