route was only the second
time on the entire season that
he vti disqualified on fouls.
With a scoring average of
21.4 in the regular schedule of
25 games, McClain turned in
one of the finest exhibitions of
pasting ever seen in the area.
Last year, when the Big Blue
went to the finals in the NCAA
College Division of Evansville.
Indiana, he averaged 26.2
points per game.
McClain was a bright star
for Na* vflle's Pearl High
where he was the offendve

became the flr»t predominant
ly black school to win the
champiomhip In the Tennes
aae State High School Tourna-
rector who is now at Western
Illinois, Rudolph Powell is
assistant coach.
Two key men and a wealth
of personnel should be the
key plusses for Trojan base
ball this spring. Flythe indi
cated in a recent interview.
Probably the leading pro
prospect on the Trojan roster,
and already the subject of
Atlanta Braves eyes, is cap
tain Stan Jefferson, VSC's
fleet left-fielder. A .375
hitter last spring, Jeff has an
outstanding eye, solid power
for a little man (5-10, 150),
and the senior from King
George, Va., can rifle the ball
back to the infield.
The other key man will be
co-captain Virgil Coleman, the
Trojans' lanky junior catcher
from Alberta, Va. A natural
competitor, Coleman has per
haps the best eye on the
squad, is seldom struck out,
and he is an intelligent field
general behind the plate.
With 35 others on the
roster, Coach Fly the will have
to be an encyclopedia Of ta
lent when he goes to make
out his lineup card, but he
doesn't seem worried.
"Things look good ... (I'm
confident we can be a winner,"
he said. "Our pitching could
surprize a lot of people, but
we have some weakness in the
infield.

Edmonds Tells of His Freshman
Harry "Choker" Edmonds
is in his freshman year as
head basketball coach at North
Carolina Central University
after two years as assistant
coach.
But he is well known
across North Carolina, having
been head coach in all sports
at Durham's Merrick-Moore
High School.
Perhaps it is no coincidence
that shortly after Edmonds
moved to N. C. Central,
Merrick-Moore High School
ceased to exist. He has con
Says Aicindor
Is Unhappy
In Milwaukee
NEW YORK - Lew Alcin
dor is unhappy in Milwaukee.
The towering star of the
record-breaking NBA Bucks
just doesn't care for the city
and is bugged by many, ofits
people. •" *
. In an article appearing in
the current issue of Look
Magazine, Alcindor makes it
clear that he'd be a lot
happier in New York or Los
Angeles.
"Live in Milwaukee? No, I
guess you could say I exist in
Milwaukee," Alcindor declares.
Alcindor, who lives in an
apartment on the 13th floor
of a high-rise near the down
town section, spends most of
his days in virtual isolation.
"I am a soldier who is hired
for service, and I will perform
that service well," he says in
the article, adding:
"Basketball has given me a
good life, but this town has
nothing to do with my roots.
There is no common ground,
no place to start.
"For openers, this was a
center for the German-Ameri
can Bund. In New York or on
the West Coast, there is a black
culture. That is why I get to
New York as often as I can
during the season and why I
bought a house in central Los
Angeles.
"Here, I'm this strange
object. I go out to the dry
cleaners or a record shop or
maybe for groceries, and they
gawk and point. I can't go to
the regular movies so I tried
sistently coached champion
ship teams in football and bas
ketball In the 3-A county
school. His final season was
capped when he was named
Durham County's basketball
"Coach of the Year" by the
Durham Morning Herald in
1968.
Edmonds' nickname comes
from his baseball experience.
He played baseball for two
years at what was then North
Carolina college after service
in the armed forces in World
War 11. Before the war years,
he was All-SIAG as a basket
ball player at Florlday A&M
where he also played football.
Experience has not been a
strength for the 1970 -71
Eagles, although five players
are listed as seniors. Two
starters who are seniors are
transfers, and have only one
year of experience with the
Eagles, including 24-year-old
team leader Redden Leggett,
from Washington, N. C., and
Gastonia's Ronald Phillips.
The third senior starter,
William Slade, had *een little
action before last year.
The other two starters as
the season drew to a dose wore
men discovered or recruited
by Edmonds.
Sophomore Harrison Davis
came to N. C. Central as a
quarterback on the football
team. Coach Edmonds dis
covered last year that he had
considerable basketball talent,
and Davis, who had been
third in line for the quarter
back slot in 1969, decided to
switch. He broke into the
starting basketball lineup in
mid-season.
Allen Reddish is • 22-year
old freshman who played for
Edmonds at Merrick-Moor*.
It has become apparent that
he lost no part of his basket-
a drive-in but got wasted by
the cold the second time."
Alcindor points out that in
New York and Los Angeles,
"people let you be," but
"here, everybody wants to
know your life."
A converted Murfim who
observes strict dietary rules,
Alcindor finds one bright spot
in Milwaukee.

in Milwaukee; we live on kosh
