with Barron discussing the role
- of the Black athlete on and off
school, Harris deckled to wait
on going to college because he
didn't want to go to college
unless he could play basket
ball. "I knew I wasn't big
enough and, besides, none of
the college coaches came
around to see me."
From that time until he
was spotted playing ball
against A&T junior varsity
while in ? business school,
Harris went to the New York
"That's one place every
boy should go to learn the
game," Harris recalled. "That's
where the oidtimers and the
former prep players go to get
their workout. And they teach
you how to take the knocks
or you don't play.
"It was while I played
around on the playgrounds
and working that I began to
grow. I had trouble at first
with my coordination but on
the playgrounds it didn't
matter."
By the time he was spotted
by the A&T staff, Harris had
developed into a first flight
player and it is he that the

SPORTS, which carries a cover
story on Lew Alcindor and Os
car Robertson of the Milwau
kee Bucks, will provide in
depth stories by and about
Black athletes.
Aggies will be relying on in the
season to come.
In reply to his feeling about
the size of men now playing
college ball, "the big men
don't bother me too much,"
Harris confided. "Most of
them try to block the shot
when you drive in. All you
have to do is give them a
little fake and let them come
down on you. They won't
be in the game too long that
has been doing too much of
lately. He has taken so many
knocks that he has been
playing the past several weeks
with a painful hip-pointer.
"It hurts all the time but
it doesn't effect my play that
much except when I go for a
fast break layup. I've noticed
my speed has not been as
good and I've been caught
from behind, which usually
won't happen."
Even with the Hip-Pointer,
Harris is the man the Aggies
will look to for leadership
and there have been few times
this season the coaches have
had to look any further.

NASHVILLE, Tenn - Ted
McClain, colorful basketball
star with the Tennessee State
University Tigers during the
past four seasons, has been
drafted in the first round of
the ABA draft by the Carolina
Cougars.
McClain, the most colorful
player for the Big Blue since
the days of Dick Barnett more
than a decade ago, was one of
the bright stars in the Tiger
lineup during the past season
when his team won 23 and lost
two in the regular season, and
then advanced to the finals of
the NCAA South Regional
where the team suffered a
heart-breaking 86-82 lost to
Southwestern Louisiana in the
closing moments of the con
test.
Although his team lost out
in this crucial battle, McClain
tallied a total of 23 points to
go along with 8 rebounds and
8 assists despite the fact that
he fouled out with five mi
nutes left in the contest. On
the previous night against Lou
