The Grambling signal
caller passed for 3,734
yards and 44 TDs in four
seasons with the G-Men.
He faces the ultimate test
in the All-Star game.
The reason? Joe
Adams of Tenn. State,
the East field com
mander, is as adept at
cramming footballs
down enemy throats as
any quarterback in the
country. An exceptional
.thrower, rated a high
draft choice, Adams
passed for 8,653 career
yards and 81
touchdowns, offering
testimony that the East
attack will not develop a
case of the blahs.
For the West squad,
Williams is the man with
the midas touch. The
West also has a number
of other dangerous
weapons at its disposal.
In fact, the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference.,
Southwestern Athletic
and area Independents
13 schools from six
states have bequeath
ed plenty of ammunition
for the match-up against
players from schools east
of the Mississippi River.
The East will be
coached by Irv Cross,
popular CBS commen
tator for "The NFL To
day" show, who is anx
ious to prove that he is
equally adept at
manipulating football
talent.
With nine Ail
Americans and 13 all
conference performers
available, coach Wood's
big task is to find a way
to iron out wrinkles in
his pass-oriented arsenal.
A positive thinker with
an abundance of in
testinal fortitude, the
Toronto Argonauts'
head coach has outlined
his option attack and
discussed various passing
concepts and situatibns
for quarterbacks and
receivers.
The West blueprint
calls for hard work,
discipline, execution
and, most importantly,
the utilization of each
player 14 the utmost. ,
Woo3 rsiwciy ex
cited about his well
balanced offensive
trench corps.
It has spectacular
talent at several key posi
tions, "The situation is
pretty well set for us,"
the coach said after stu
dying his roster.
The availability of top
receivers like Wally
Wright, Miss. Valley
State; Gregory Ander
son, Alabama State;
Buster Barnett, Jackson
State and Ed Campbell,
Grambling, offers
assurance that the air at
tack will perk along at a
high rate of efficiency.
East Squad
Tenn. State's quarter
back Joe Adams, a
renowned practitioner of
the art of throwing a
football, heads the list of
seniors invited to the
first annual Sheridan
Black College All-Star
Game.

match-up against the
West for the encounter
at Memorial Stadium.
Mike Williams, the
West quarterback from
Grambling is almost
equally conspicuous.
Their proclivity for at
tacking through the air
offers a guarantee that
customers will remain
away from exits until the
final horn.
The All-Star game
promises to offer a true
gauge of the strength of
black college teams east
and west of the
Mississippi river.
Pro aspirants from the
Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference,
Mid-Eastern Athletic .
Conference and area in
dependents make up the
East Squad.
Irv Cross, a star on the
CBS "NFL Today"
show and a former pro
star with Philadelphia
and Los Angeles, has the
responsibility of welding
the East into a cohesive
unit.
Adams' fine football
mind and keen football
instincts have established
the East as an early
favorite.
He has remarkable
audacity, poise and faith
in himself.
Williams' Grambling
teammates responded to
his direction by winning
the 1980 National Black
College Championship.

Dying not easy
Dying in the United States can be
a lot more complicated than most
people realize.
For example, at death, creditors
and tax collectors have first claim
on the deceased's "gross estate"
leaving the family whatever may be
left over as the "net estate. "
Because many people have siz
able obligations to be met, there is
often a substantial difference be
tween the "gross" and "net" es
tates, says the American Council of
Life Insurance.
Clearing these debts plus final
expenses and taxes can be time
consuming and expensive, says the
Council. Several ways in which life
insurance will help meet these obli
gations include:
Life insurance benefits are not
subject to attachment by creditors.
Benefits become available
immediately at death, without wait
ing for probate of will.
Lump sum benefits are not
subject to Federal income tax.
If ownership of a policy is
transferred before death to the bene
ficiary, the benefits are not subject
to Federal estate taxes.
