SATURDAY. KCYEtf 2ES 20. 1232-THE CAT.SU.'U T!"ES-5 NCCU ''Roller Coaster Clashes With Virginia Union's "Express'' By Elson Armstrong Can a roller coastei outrun an express? The answer, of course, depends largely on the track, and if NCCU's track is any indication, the express-Virginia Union is going to run away with the contest. The contest, of course, is th CIAA champion ship game in Charlotte Saturday. r Kickoff : is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. For the record, two. tejpns are scheduled to' play foMhe CIAA foot ball championship in Charlotte's Veterans Memorial Stadium, but in reality there could be "three" teams there. First, there's Virginia Union, the defen ing CIAA champion? , a; team with an 8-2 jason record, and sporting on ly more relapse all season, an unexpected loss to Morgan State. Virginia Union's ; other, loss came at the hands of the Eagles early in the season. Since then, however, Union has at times look ed just awesome. For. ex ample, they destroyed Norfolk State 51-0 several weeks ago, and just last week demolish ed. Elizabeth City State 43-0. Central, on the other hajfr, could take either "one of two teams" to Charlotte. They eould take the early season crew that looked like a sure-fire r lightly," . said champion when they quarterback they could also take the team that slipped up on Elizabeth City State and " lost 16-6; the team that never got ' untracked against Norfolk State ,and lost 14-9, and the team that really hit the bottom of the track last week when they fizzled; offensively and lost to A&T State 13-7. So the question in Charlotte boils down to will Union stick to its successful formula -which it probably will and will Central continue its wishy-washy, furhble riddled ways on offense and there's no indica tion that it won't. NCCU head coach Henry "Hank" Lat timore said he hopes Central doesn't take cer tain opponents lightly. "I can't really explain what happened to us against A&T," he said. "I have never believed that it was a coach's job to get teams up. They know what need to be done, but for some reason we weren't sharp at all against A&T," One thing that might have happened is that one of Lattimore's fears came true. The team might have been looking beyond the Aggies to the championship game with Union. "I think that throughout the season when I've had bad games, it's been beeause I've taken a team too Eagle Gerald championship game. It seems that if Central is to have a chance of winning the CIAA cham pionship Saturday at least two important things must happen. One, the defense must remain the rock hard stalwart it has been prac tically all season. Going into the A&T game, Central's defense had allowed less than 200 yards a game, and has a presentable record for sacking quarterbacks. But Central's offensive statistics read almost like a mirror reflection of the defensive stats, but all in the wrong direction. For example, whereas the defense has allowed only an average of three yards net offense, the Eagles have only gained 4.3. The defense has only allowed a shade shy of 1 3 yards per completed pass, while the Eagle of fense has averaged just a shade over 17 yards per completed pass. The defense has been stung by touchdown passes on ly eight times, but then the offense has scored only nine touchdowns through the air. And that brings ts to the second thing that must happen if Central is to win. The offense must put some points, and lots of them, on the boafd. According to early season predictions,, Cen tral had the "horses" to score a lot. Gerald Fraylon the quarterback came into the season highly heralded, and it (Continued on Pajie "If v ;a I - JA a il m ti v r-i?v FUMBLING AWAY THE GAME - This fumble aptly depicts 'the problems Central's Eagles had this past Saturday In their game with arch rival A&T State.

By Elson Armstrong, Jr. During the CIAA Media Day for basket ball, an official from a rival school said this about NCCU in basket ball: "Well, you know how things are at Cen1 the. coming season. "We're really op timistic .We're really en couraged by the attitude of our players. We think that we have the talent to be a real good team," Clements laid. "This tral. They get off during ,.; squad has pbtntially the football season, but most depth of any team when it's time for basketball, things are mighty quiet on that campus." Perhaps NCCU will have reason to make noise beyond football this season.

Union pounded Cen tral 457 in last year's since I've been here." Clements says that he is not really in favor of the 30-second clock that the CIAA will operate under this season. "1 think that it takes away from the strategy of , the game? The fans will prc- will make for a faster game." ... , Just like other leagues, the 30-second clock will be turned off durng the final four minutes of the contest. "If we're holding to a slim lead during the closing minutes, then I will pro bably go to a delay game such as the four corners. The fans may not like it, but I believe that if you can hold on the ball, then you can keep them from scoring." Other star players returning for NCCU both of last year's leading scorers are Charles Murphy and Darrell Evans. Clements added, "I think that we will be able to score with any one that we play. We've got to concentrate on defense. If we can get floor after taking a shot quick enough, then we can play a pressure defense or go into a zone." Clements said that possible weaknesses for the Eagles are defense, and discipline. "By discipline, I mean that (Continued on Page 6) Hazel Plummer Bowling Scores The Hazel B.
