McNeil is one of the reasons many experts pick FSU, led by "Coach-of-the-Year" in the CIAA last year Jake Ford, to be a tough contender for the league race this year. McNeil graduated from Hillside High School and is a Durham pro- "UC , FSU Photo John B. Hcndenoa Title Decided On Field: Elon To Defend National Title By Elson Armstrong, Jr. The big boys of col legiate football are still arguing over whether the Orange Bowl or Sugar Bowl, will decide theii mythical national title and we will not know the verdict until the pollsters vote on New Year's night. ; For those of you who .would like to see a tf ue national championship decided m the Gekl (where they shouTd be), men i urge you k laxc the short (35-miles) westward trek from Durham to Burlington this Saturday and there right before your eyes the 1981 NAIA Title Game (Champion Bowl) will be played between Elon,' the defending titlist and Pittsburg (without the 'h'), State of Kansas.

Both of these, schools don't have the luxury pf giving as many scholar ships as their NCAA big brothers (Elon only gives 25, Pittsburg 45), but the quality of football is first rate. , A number of Durham- fans are acquainted with Conversions: 5-JO, Ju.(Aloa due le-their ent0benhM said he d '' . j .

Elon, which won it's first national crown, 17-10 over Northeastern Oklahoma at this same site last year, is no stranger to NAIA Title games. The Fighting Chris tians played for the crown in 1973 but lost to Abilene Christian in Texas 42-14. That Elon squad was coached by. current Duke mentor Red Wilson. In 1978, Elon again advanced to the title match. This time bowing to Angelo State, also in Texas, 24-14. While it's been twenty years since Pittsburg State made it this far, the Gorillas (that's right!) have won two NAIA Titles. In 1957 they beat Hillsdale of Michigan which usually .drawn r capacity crowds. Both the governors of Kansas and North Carolina have placed a friendly wager on the. outcome. Kansas will provide a ham if Pitt-, sburg falls and North Carolina, will send them a three-pound sack of peanuts if Elon bites the dust. The weather forecast for Saturday is clear and cold perfect football weather and remember, it's for a "true National Championship!" By Elson Armstrong, jr. Even if you don't know the difference bet ween a zone ' press and the four corners or what two teams are playing, there's fun to be had at the basketball game. Recently, I decided that what makes this game so great is not only the coaches and players; the fans are often worth the price of a ticket. The fans in this sport probably more than any other really get into the act. Despite what some coaches say they can ac tually go a long way in determining the outcome of the contest. At North Carolina State there's .a voice meter that hangs in the arena that lights up as the crowd roars. In re cent games, the Wolfpack fans have picked out just one player on the opposing teams to harass. When said player touches the ball, they erupt in yells or applause and when he passes or shoots, there is silence. The PA announced at North Carolina Central gets the crowd going by screaming "Eagles" after the home team is on a run. Some of the most col orful fans in America reside at Duke. These fans have a history of coming up with im aginative ways to rattle their victims. They pick ed on former N.C. State Coach' Norm Sloan and his Wife so much that he despised- which elped add fuel to the fire. ' , !,V ;-v "' The visiting team at Duke unfortunately has fans call themselves to sit in front of one of "The Red Wave" and the student sections and they keep the 6500-seat they often yell so loud, arena rocking as they during time outs that the wave red and white of coach has to take his team to mid-court to give instructions. If any team goes into a stall at Duke, they will show their disapproval by yelling, "Go to Hell Carolina, Go to Hell" even if the Tar Heels are not playing them. At North Carolina, the fans can yell so loud that it feels like the building is ready to ex plode. In California, the most active fans surpris ingly are not at UCLA or San Francisco. They in habit Selland Arena in Fresno. Fresno State shakers. Nearly all of them dressed in red, they also form a human tun nel just before tip off. On the road, the FSU fans often rent several buses, accompanied by a caravan of cars, to visiting arenas. Often the, FSU crowds negate the other team's home court advantage while the loudly cheer "Here we go, Bulldogs, Here we In Kentucky, the whole state follows the contest to the tune "Hold That Tiger". Long Beach State fans rise in unison before the tip, chanting, "Beach, Yeah, Beach". At Virginia, they scream ."Wahoo", whatever that means. Maryland fans, know that their team has won when the song "Amen" rings loud and clear. All across America for the next three months, you can find them some paint their faces in their school colors, some paint signs to praise their heroes or to get the op position's goat, while still others yell until they Wildcats and a defeat is' are hoarse.

During that hot sum mer of '77, a source close to UCLA said that if it was known how much hanky-panky was going on in Westwood, the Bruins would have ,to forfeit at least four of their No. 1 trophies.

It was announc ed that UCLA would be ineligible for the 1982 Pac-Ten Conference cage title. Bruin Coach Larry Farmer said, "This should warn everyone to clean up their act. If they'll get UCLA, then they'll get anybody." . Coach Farmer was right and that's the way it should be. Why should the NCAA give certain schools privileges.
