" Tournament time and to cheer seeing most, but not all, of the telecasts. There could have been Jieir team to victory. some Black athletes in the games, but I did not see them. Like golf and tennis, winter sports such as skiing, ice skating, and ice hockey requires an outlay of cash for equipment and training- from the beginning to the end of an athlete's career. Especially if an athlete wants to compete seriously in one of those sports. With no dough, one does not go far, generally. Considering the money limitations, and the weather too, it is not surprising that 1 did not see Black men and women competing. Instead cf sulking or complaining about the situation, I played with thoughts of how Black athletes would fit into the various events. Imagine someone such as 0 J. Simpson participating in the slalom and giant slalom. The skis would negate his natural foot speed, but his having to zig zag to avoid any stationery obstacles may allow the ' Juice" to dominate Alpine skiing. What about a tough but graceful Paul Warfield competing in the figure skating events?Or, despite his bad knees, Earl Monroe maneuvering on the hockey ice rink?Just daydream about all of the double-clutching, herky, jerky, and spinning moves the "Pearl' would effect while moving the hocky puck. Of course his teammate would be Walt ' The Clyde" Frazier. 1 almost blew my mind fantasizing of Julius 'Dr. J.' Erving and David Thompson entering the Ski Jump competition, against themselves or anybody! Records would probably be broken, as well as the law of gravity defied. Hey! There is no way that I would want to see the athletes mentioned above use their skills in any other way than how they are now being used. However, some young brothers and sisters with similar natural skills could conceivable direct their talents toward Winter sports. If the money to train is available, and if they could bravely face the ice, snow, and temperatures of 32 degrees and below, there is very little doubt that their contributions would be as significant as the contributios made to other areas of sports by Black people. African Proverb - ' If there were no elephant in the jungle, the buffalo would be a great animal." Individual and team leaders remain the same ' in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference cumulative basketball statistics released Tuesday from the conference office here.

MEAC Tourney Finally Finding Home GREENSBORO, - Finding a proper home for the exciting Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference basketball tournament hasn't been easy, but the league's officials believe they have hit on a gold mine this time. The tournament, which features seven of the nation's top predominately black cblleees. will be held in the 16,000 seat Greensboro Coliseum, Feb. 26-28. And there are indications that the three-day playoffs will be as successful as some of its predecessors in the Greensboro facility. 'We are looking forward to becoming a fixture in Greensboro," said Dr. James Younge, the MEAC's acting commissioner. "We have gotten a lot of cooperation from the public and the business community, and out tickets are going real well." The MEAC was organized five years ago when six former members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and S. C. State College decided to join forces in order to seek recognition as NCAA Division I teams in certain sports. The leagues's basketball Maryland-Eastern Shore, Robert McClellan of N. C. Central, John Mulle.i of Howard and James Sparrow and Sinclair Colbert of A&T. tournament was held the first two years in Duke Uriversity's indoor stadium in Durham, then the tourney was shifted for two years to the Baltimore Civic Center. Although reception to the tournament was generally good in both areas, MEAC officials feel that the Greensboro experience will be even better. They note that the city has become widely known as a tournament city, having hosted for years the successful AUantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament, the CIAA and two years ago, the NCAA's national championships. They also point to the fact that North Carolina A&T, the league leader this year, is located in Greensboro. The hot shooting Aggies arc being chased for the regular season championship this year by Morgan State and S. C. State, but Howard, Del. State, North Carolina Central, or Maryland Eastern Shore could prove to be spoilers in the tournament. Since the regular season champion receives a first round bye, tournament officials have adopted a format which includes a 3:30 p.m. game on Thursday, and 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. games on Friday and Saturday. A&T has won the tournament title three of the last four years. FOURTH LEADING COLLEGIATE SCORER. IN NATION DURING 1974 AT UTAH WITH' 2S.7 AVERAGE...
