On Sunday, May 24,
NBC-TV's Sportsworld
, . will air the Professional
t Karate Assocation (PKA)
?, World ' Heavyweight
' Championship title bout
which took place at
mer.
Last ' ' August,
"Oaktree" Edwards was a
world-rated . light
heavyweight full-contact
karate fighter with a
record of 31-2-2 and 2
Madison Square Gardens V KO's. But pn August 12, '
m- Ottawa, Canada, ne
Felt Forum on May 1, bet
oween Demetriousi
Oaktree" ' Edwards of
Ayden, N.C, and Ross
Scott of Los Angeles,
California.
The . heavy weight litie
fight on May 1 wa the
hottest gruclue match since
the sport's inception in
1974. Former VVorld
Champ Ross Scort had
'lost his title to Dcmctrious
"Oaktree" Edwards last
August in a NBC-aired
fight from Ouawa,
Canada. Scott, until then
thought to be unbeatable,
suffered the loss before a
stunned live audience and
the largest NBC Sport
sworld TV audience of the ,
summer of 1980. That,
particular segment of
NBC's Sportsworld had a
10.1 rating, the highest ,
segment rating of any
Sportsworld in that sum-1
stepped into the ring for
his first heavyweight tignt
against Ross Scott who
had held- the . World -Heavyweight
- crown for
4Vz years. When the even-,
ing ended, Edwards had
added one more win and
one more KO to become
the PKA v World
Heavyweight Champion
of fir.! -con tact karate. It
wa.s not an overnight suc
cess story.
Born and raised in
Ayden, a small town out
side Greenville, Edwards
had wrestled and made
All-State football in high
school, going: directly to
the Washington Redskins
after graduation. Four
weeks after his arrival in
Washington, Edwards was
jumped by a mugger dur
ing a late night walk. In
the struggle to defend!
nimself,' Edwards broke
the mugger's' ' neck,
paralyzing him for; life.,
Though ;, Edwards "t was,
totally exonerated, the in-j
cident affected him deep
ly. He quit the Redskins;
and returned to Ayden,!
taking a job as a service!
station mechanic, forget-
ting his dreams of athletic
glory. r-i ;
Then he heard of a locali
- karate trainer who had a
stable of fighters making a
name for themselves in the
new sport of full contact.
It was 1975, and the sport'
was in its infancy. But Ed
wards began hanging'
around the gym of Bill;
McDonald, bugging the!
trainer io take him on..
Finally, alter a year,
McDonald let Edwards
climb into the ring for a
sparring session. It was
Edwards' first day ,of
fighting. Five years later,
his stunning upset of Scott'
was watched by nearly';
mam
t ZU.UUU.UUU IN DC viewers
in Z the season's: highest
rated NBC . Sportsworld
segment.
Divorced with one son
. (called "Oak 5 Stump;
because he is a mini
version of his 28-year-old
father), Edwards still lives
t in Ayden with his mother;
and sister. Once a year
Ayden has its big event,
the Coitard ; Festival.
"Oaktree" used to check
out the earS'lftat carried
;the dignitaries m the an
nual parade. Now, he
rides in one. When the
Governor of North
Carolina passes, he gets a
healthy round, of ap
plause. It is Demetrius
"Oaktree" Edwards, full
contact karate's
Heavyweight Champion
of the World, who gets the
standing ovation.

He is one of Chapel Hill's
few black administrators,
and an obvious role model
for black pupils who are
experiencing problems in
the school system. Parents
wondered at the implica
tion of transferring a prin
cipal whom black pupils
may look up to in the most
crucial stage of their lives.
Mrs. Phyllis Sockwell,
the school board chair
man, told the parents, "I
' am sincerely happy that
the schools have been ser--ving
you well and we want
to keep on doing this."
She promised them that
the board would carefully
consider their requests.
Many parents said that
they are waiting to see
how the school board will
settle this issue that they
feel is so vital to them and
so basic in the lives of
their children.
Some black parents pre
