"3& ' Si SAT., OCTOBER 4, 1989 THECAftCimATJSa-f 1 'HJ" Elon College Bests NCCU Eagles 28-14 North Carolina Central University had its bubble burst 28-14 when they were upended by the Elon College Fighting Chris tians at Durham County Stadium. Elon (3-1) racked up 1 343 yards in total offense, while holding the vaunted Eagles offensive unit to 222 yards; only 46, rushing. In what was to be a battle of the halfbacks-EIon's Bobby Hedrick and NCCU's Roscoe Bumette didn't quite pan out that way. , Hedrick rushed for 93 ' yards in 29 carries, while Bumette was able to muster only 54 yards in 23 carries. i Central saw its record! drop to 3-1. Elon scored the first three touchdowns on a Don Ricks fumble' recovery in the end zone; ai Bobby Hedrick 2 yard run and a 48 yard pass play, from John Bangley to Joey Hacked. i Central got on the scoreboard late in the se-i cond period when Michael) Worthy went seven yards for the score. A 63 yardj pass play from senior' quarterback Charles. Yuille to Carl Sanders set up Worthy's score. In the third period Hedrick scored his second; touchdown of the game at, the 7:14 mark. I Central countered withi a fourth stanza touchdown when Yuille tossed the ball 13 yards to sophomore split end Vic tor Hunter.

Pittsburgh The, awesome Steelers can lose ; sometimes only when they ; beat themselves which is: what happened against the Bengals, Chicago found out that it's not good to j ; play them after an embar- 't rassing defeat. t 2. Houston Bum : Philips, Ken Stabler, and . Earl Campbell make quite i a "marriage" and the en- :: tire city of Houston is ' celebrating the honey- ' moon. 3. San Diego It's hard to believe that seven ! years ago, the Chargers hired a head shrink to counter a losing attitude, ,now other NFL teams may hire shrinks, to find ways to stop the Chargers. 4. Dallas Last Sun day the Cowboys may have found the ultimate way 10 gel revenge on Green Bay's Bart Starr (who beat them in two NFL Title games in 1966 and 67) by pounding the 'Pack, they may have cosi old Bart his job. 5. Buffalo The City on Lake Erie is jumping as j tjrought them a winner f and they love it. 6. Detroit They're singing "Another one Bites the Dust" in the Silver Dome and for Lion ' opponents have done just that. 7. Philadelphia So the Eagles lost , to St. Louis, they'll be flying , high real soon. 8. Los Angeles The NFL's version of a soap opera seems to have final ly settled down enough to play some real football for a change. , 9. Miami The Dolphins seem to play at their best when they are more than ten points behind in the fourth quarter. 10. San Francisco In California the 49ers are the rage from Fresno to the Oregon border. They, call them the Roaring back 49ers and they almost roared from way behind to catch Atlanta but alas the time ran out. Flop teams of the Year: 1. New York (Jets) Jimmy "The Greek's" Super Bowl team, Ha!!! 2. Washington The Redskins appear to be headed for the Toilet Bowl.

Holmes made the com ment while discussing next , Thursday's (October 2) ti tle defense against Ali in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. "I don't see the fight going fifteen rounds," the champion with a 36-0 won-loss record predicts. "I don't see the fight go ing ten to fifteen rounds. I -am not going to be the one to get knocked out. It has to be a cold day in hell if Ali beats me and I don't think Ali can beat me. I will be ready to do what I have to do 10 win." More than a million people will watch Muham mad Ali make this com eback attempt against Holmes Thursday for the WBC World Heavyweight Championship. They will be watching on closed circuit TV in more than 300 arenas, auditoriums, theaters, stadiums, and one strip joint. Thai's right, even 1 he Cabaret in San Jose, receivers, the quarterback should have, these guys shot al sunrise. Play of the Year (so far): Did you catch this in the Washington-Seattle game? Zorn went back to pass, the ball was deflected into 1 he air, at least fourteen hands from both teams touched it before it finally fell in complete. That's what makes this game so great. Calif., which normally of fers a fare of male strip pers, will be "on line" for the fight. Tickets are $20 and $25. There will be no home television or radio of this fight. Why did the champion from Easton, Pa., decide to fight Ali after saying he wouldn't when first ap proached about meeting the three-time champ? "There are a lot of reasons," Larry explains, "this is a money proposi tion because I can't win. If I beat him up, people are going to say he was old. If he whips me, people will say I was never anything, The only thing I can do is make money ($6-8 million). When I whip him, I will remove some of the doubt from the minds of some people. But some people will always ask, "what would happen if he had met Ali in his prime? I feel if we had both met at the age of thirty, I would have won." It is the opinion of Larry Holmes thai he hasn't received the type of publicity he deserves from sports fans. "An athlete as good as me doesn't usually receive the type of publicity they deserve until they retire," he says seriously. "I don't think I will get my just due until I retire. I don't have things going for me like Ali did. Things like the draft, his becoming a Muslim and them getting behind him. I never had that." "I just fought my way up the ladder by fighting everyone. I didn't get the ABC or CBS or NBC net works behind me like they did Sugar Ray Leonard. I think action speaks louder , than words. That will hap-' pen on October 2." The preliminary bouts include former heavyweight champ Leon Spinks vs. Bernado Mer cado and Saoul Mamby vs. Termite Watkins for the WBC World Super Lightweight Championship. On MEAC's All Time Scoring List Howard University's kicker, Howard Ward from Winston-Salem, has moved from seventh to ihird place on the MEAC's att-iime scoring list wiih a Wal 145 poinis in his career. The senior needs 31 more 10 lie Naie Rivers of S.C. Siaie for se cond place. Malcolm Montgomery a 1979 S.C. State graduate, is ihe leader with 210 poinis. By Larry Barber After four weeks of Na tional Football League ac tion, three of the 28 teams remain unbeaten, down from five a week ago. My prognostications called for two to fall, but not the two that did. Philadelphia, 24-14 losers to St. Louis, and San Francisco, which lost J&JJjjAtAanta, fell from the undeteated ranks, while Detroit roared by Minnesota 27-7, Buffalo roped the Raiders 24-7, to maintain unblemished worksheets. Last weeks' predictions had Buffalo and Detroit losing, but these two teams have shown that they are for real. On Sun day, Billy Sims, Detroit's brilliant rookie, ran through Minnesota for 157 yards, Gary Danielson threw two touchdown passes, and the Lions' defense allowed only seven points for the third straight week. Buffalo's rookie Joe Cribbs rushed for ninety yards, ran for a score, and scored -011 a pass play to lead the Bills. San Diego took advantage of Chiefs mistakes, and Kellen Winslow caught two TD passes to send the Chargers to 4-0, and drop K.C. to 0-4. St. Louis's upset win was its first vic tory of the season, while Atlanta evened its mark at 2-2. In other games, Pitt sburgh got back on the winning track with a 38-3 blast over Chicago, Cleveland beat Tampa Bay 34-27, Dallas downed Green Bay 28-7, Los Angeles jumped the N.Y. Giants by the same score, Miami left New Orleans 0-4 with a 21-16 win, Baltimore kept the N.Y. Jets winless, crushing them 35-21, Seattle shut Washington out 14-0, and Nevii - England leveled Denver 23-14 Monday night. Until last weekend, the NFC and AFC stood 4-4 in interconference play, but the AFC swept four games Sunday. The top contest this Sunday will be a battle of unbeatens, Buffalo at San Diego, look for the home team to pull it out. However, it will be a rough day for most homestanders with Miami losing to Bali t more, Green Bay to Cincinnati, Cleveland to Denver, Atlanta to Detroit, the N.Y. Jets to New England, Minnesota Co Pittsburgh, New Orleans to St. Louis, and Tampa Bay to Chicago Monday night. Other than San Diego winning at home, Houston should hold off Seattle. It will be Philadelphia over Washington, Oakland over K.C, Dallas over the Giants, and Los Angeles over San Francisco. Last week's predictions went 9-5, bringing this season's record to 34-22. 00000 You work & you play on hot summer days To quench your thirst Coke is the way DURHAM COCA COLA BOTTLING CO.
