Birchvvood Til's Need Gymnasium
It's not easy for the Birch
wood TK's to practice on
cold days, because the
little basketball team
doesn't have a gymnasium
But despite the odds, the
group was able to hammer
out an impressive record
of six wins and five
ldssses during the past sea
son, their first year.
Player Donald Davis
complained, "we've got no
where to practice unless it
is warm", but Doug John
son hastens to add, "we
still get it together on a
nice day."
Temperatures were in,
the low 40's the day the
group posed for a CARO

Donnie Weeks, "to take
the picture where we norm

Alex Gilleskie, Durham's
recreation director was in
conference and could not be
reached before press time,
for comment.
There is no gym in

DELAWARE STATE IN SEARCH
OF NEW COACH
Sin Million Women Nov; Run
In U.S. Marathon
Head footbal coach Ed
mond Wyche's annual
contract was voted not to
be renewed, it was learned
by the Mid-Eastern Athletic .
Conference through the
Delaware State Sports
Information Office, after
a meeting by the Board
of Trustees . held on
Thursday, March 8.
The decision was based
on certain findings of facts
made by the subcommittee
of the Athletic Council,
and a letter concerning the
matter from Dr. Luna I.
Mishoe, the school's
president. :
Wyche came to Dela
ware State in 1975, after
carrying Howard University
to a 4-2, 8-2 record, and
.third place ME AC
competition in 1973, his
one year as head coach
there, , '
Wyche's best year at
Delaware State came in
1977, when he directed the
Hornets to a 4-2,74
record, a third place finish,
and was named MEAC
COACH OF THE YEAR.
Last year he pushed them
to a 3-3 conference slate,
good enough for third
again. During he stint at the
Hornet helm, he went
18-23-1 overall.
A Delaware State spoke
person said one of Wyche's
comments were that he
was not bitter, and all
he had to do was get a
resume together and
find work. '
The search for a new
Delaware State head foot
ball coach was further voted
by s the Board to begin
immediately. '
"Women On The Run,"
"Women Running Toward
Equality," "The Beauty of
Running." The titles sweep
ing public print nearly equal
the numbers of women
running here and
everywhere for all to see
and all to wonder. National
surveys indicate one in four
runners today is a woman
a total of nearly 6,000,000,
compared with 25,000 in
1972.
Five hundred or more
women are expected to start
in the L'eggsYWCA 10,000
meter run in Winston-Salem,
April 7. Those who have
prepared properly, will have
fun and get beneficial
physical exercise at the
same time.
Nina Kuscik, a mother of
three, who runs 65 miles
a week, took up the
sport ten years ago. She's
qualified to talk about this
new phenomenon, haying
won the women's division
of the Boston Marathon and
the New York City Mara
thon. "Once running wasn't
fashionable for women," she
said. "Now running ' is
known to help streamline
the body and to stablize
weight. At the same time
women's opportunities are
growing. The combination is
j proving unbeatable," she
said.
Kitty Consolo, a student
at Wake Forest University,
recalls her first race three
years ago. She entered a
men's 5 mile cross country
race at North Carolina
State. Her time was less
than encouraging, since she
got lost along the course.

greater cooperation between

has merit.

of the top contenders in the

Last year, a leading
women's magazine listed
fourteen reasons to run.
Some of the better ones
were that one gets a sense
of accomplishment, you
get in touch with your
body, it inspires thinking,
no special skills are needed,
cost is minimal.
"What's most important
about the story is that it
appeared at all. This re
spected publication devoted
four full pages to a sport
that not long ago was held
in very low regard," Kus
csik said.

exercise to get their
doctor's approval first. This
is especially true if the
person has not been in any
kind of a long term-physical
fitness program She
also stresses the importance
of using common sense.
"Don't push yourself,"
she emphasizes. "Start
slowly. When you get tired,
walk, Running is alifelong
experience. We don't have
to reach any goals in a
specific time frame. Your
physical improvement
should take place gradual
ly." Bob Glover, author of
the popular "Runner's
Handbook," says women
can follow the same train
ing program as men, even
on the beginning level. "I
think more women than
men are beginning to run.
Men still have other sports
options . such as tough foot
ball, softball, basketball,"
Glover said.
"These women have
convinced me that women
as runners have physical
and mental potential wasted
by today's archaic marathon
and Olympic running restrictions.
