The tournament, which helps raise funds for the club's junior golf program, was held recently at the municipal golf tourse. Joining Hamlin and Henson are tournament director Burl Bowens (right) and club vice president George Lee (left). NFL Drafts Six MFAH Players, Five From SCS THe Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference had a record number of six players drafted following the 1981 National Foot ball League's annual selec-1 tion of eligible collegiate 1 athletes on April 28-29. ' South Carolina State Col lege in Orangeburg, S.C., set a school and Con-; ference record by having five players drafted over the two day affair. It was also the most taken by any historically black institu tion, all other major NCAA division 1-AA football members, and the number exceeded many major universities (NCAA . Dtvisfoal-A). .: . ; To name some of the few schools having more , draftees, Pittsburgh was this year's leader with twelve, Ohio State had seven, and North Carolina six. Pitt has an enrollment of 12,069 students, while OSU and UNC have better than 21,000; three and five times greater than S.C. State's total. This leads to some in teresting questions. One in particular if the smaller schools are good enough for professional athletics, why are they so seriously ; neglected by the sports media professionals? Is it not a dark secret that media exposure is an emi nent cog in enhancing as amateur's chances of 6-7 , 260-pound defensive tackle from Georgetown, S.C, was -chosen by the Buffalo Bills in the third round on the 28th pick; and offensive guard Ed win Bailey (a three-time All MEAC performer) was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round on the third pick. Bailey is a 6-4, 255-pound native of Savannah, Ga. On Wednesday, all MEAC wide receiver Charlie Brown, a 5-11, 180-pounder from Jones Island, S.C, was drafted by the Washington Red skins in the eighth round . niiaking - the, professional , on the eighth pick, Also in,; However, during the son, a 6-2, 185-pound All- NFL draft, S.C.

Box 19521, Durham, NC 27707 More "Centennial" Sports Memories By Elson Armstrong, Jr. With the recent Durham County Centennial celebra tions, I've found myself in a real nostalgic mood, so I decided to share some of my fondest sports memories: September-November, 1963: N.C Central (then ; known as N.C College) and Hillside High School really : have Durham football fans rocking as they both com plete 8-1 campaigns. NCCU is voted the nation's No. 2 black college team and they win the CIAA title. UNC and State both go to bowl games. September-November, 1964: Merrick-Moore and Durham High Schools reach the State Championships : in their respective divisions. Merrick-Moore wins its first 3-A title after fielding a football team for only four years. December, 1965: Hillside opens defense of its State 4-A Basketball title by humiliating their cross-town 'cusins' Little River 138-70. Little River was the defen ding 1-A Champion. Duke blasts National Collegiate Champion UCLA 82-66 in Durham and repeats the feat the next night in Charlotte, 94-75. Fall, 1965: Durham High completes a 12-0 football season with a pulsating-19-14 win over Fayetteville in the Eastern Regional Championship. March, 1966: Duke wins the Eastern Regionals, Hillside, Merrick-Moore, Durham High and Jordan all reach the final four of their respective tournaments. March, 1967: Carolina reaches the final four for the first time in ten years. Again Hillside, Merrick-Moore, Little River and Jordan all reach the state cage finals. March, 1968: UNC beats Davidson 70-66 in the Eastern Regional Finals and advances to the National ; Title game where they fall to powerful UCLA. March, 1971: Carolina and Duke make the NIT final four. UNC wins the title. July, 1971: Durham is in the international spotlight as the Bull City hosts the USAPan Africa Track Meet. The meet draws the largest crowds in the Western Hemisphere that year. Winter, 1972: UNC wins five cage championships ; from Spain to Oregon and is considered a major threat to the UCLA dynasty, but a bad call in the NCAA Semi , Finals denied the Tar Heels the chance. Fall, 1972: NCCU, State and Carolina all advance to bowl games. UNC and State bring home the bacon. Spring, 1973: Durham hosts the Martin Luther King Games. March, 1974: N.C State breaks UCLA's reign and wins the National Championship. Raleigh erupts. Julyj 1974: Durham hosts the USAUSSR Track I'Meet? efrtd draw ove . SO.OOOfcw ';m.-' i - Malh,197lr, Three' Narttr Caroling teams play for NCAA Regional Titles with two (UNC, UNC Charlotte) making the final four. March, 1980: During a blizzard, Duke upsets Maryland 73-72 in the ACC Championship game. March, 1981: The North Carolina Tar Heels go on a tear and become the "Best in the West". Only powerful Indiana was able to stop the UNC bandwagon in the NCAA Title game. So there are some of my golden sports -memories, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Even as I write this, I realize that I've left out quite a few such as UNC's 1 1-1 football season and bowl win over Texas last winter; State's awesome 103-100 win over Maryland in the 1974 ACC Title game (still the best played collegiate game that I can recall); Hillside's Hornets ringing the bell for 147 points in 1966; Duke beating Rose Bowl Champion Stanford on their home field in 1971; the Durham High Raleigh Broughton football classics of 1966, and the ex citing Durham Bulls games. Oh well, maybe, at a future date I'll continue this journey down memory lane. MID-ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP 1 QDiawara ki Dolphins on the 15th pick, and the MEAC's Defen sive Player of the Year, John Alford, was tagged by the same team in the 12th round 14th pick. The other MEAC pick went to Bethune-Cookman's 5-11, 175 -pound wide receiver Stacy Charles from Daytona Beach, by the San Diego Chargers in the 12th-23rd pick.

This season, Durham per formed well in meets at Charlotte, Vass, and Raleigh. Coach Frank Davis, an IBM Employee, has taken over the Club's head coaching duties for Her- ' man Graham, who held that post for several years. Assistant Coach James Jillard handles daily prac tice sessions at Durham High School, while Assis tant Head Coach Bernard Alston conducts training at Northern High. Davis, who supervises the conglomerate, believes that the system is a good one as well as a convenient one, and says the athletes have adjusted and responded well. Even ' though the Striders have a meet on May 30, they really set sights on the upcoming annual Strider-thon, scheduled for June 5 and 6 With this event, they try o raise funds for equip ment and travel.
