SEPT. 5, 1974 v...^ # . BuiMH 6'3" 24 cu oirtni/\*TT\ t? ^ "'"? ntvnmuiiu, va. - wiui eleven teams all saying that they will have an improved squad during the 1974 season, football will be very good for the Central * Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Virginia Union : University is the defending champions and Coach Willard Bailey's Panthers will not give up the" crown without a fight. Three teams will have hew head coaches - Norfolk State College, Virginia State College , and Hampton Institute. Th^ names of the new grid chiefs are ~ ^familiar onds within the CIAA. J.D. Marshall, former'head coach and athletic director at Livingstorie College and more recently on the grid staff at Johnson C. Smith University, takes over the _ reins of. the Virginia. State College Trojans.' Drr Walter Lovett, former grid chief at Virginia State College, is the new football taskmaster at Hampton Institute. William "Dick Price, a member of the Norfolk State College grid staff and more renowned as the track mentor of the Spartans moves up as acting head coach at Norfolk State College. Perhaps it is significant to note that the Hampton Institute athletic program is on the upswing and the appointment of . Lovett is another step in bringing the Pirates back to ' gridiron respectability. Lovett took a sagging program at, Virginia State College andCturned it around in a very short span and won two CIAA grid championships. kirk WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY-Winston-Salem State University should return to their 1972 form this season. The Rams suffered a lot of close losses last year and injuries to key personnel did not help. Defensive stalwart Bennie Barbour, 6-3, 230 pound middle guard; returns to lead the Rams.

Center Curtis Phifer is big and strong which is why the Rams are able to go down the middle of the field. The Rams have a gpod kicker in LoVrery Fraizer. The Rams have a good kicker in Lowery Fraizer. /' JMN* SHAW UNIVERSITY?Coarh Jesse Clements is_optimistic after one season at the Shaw ' University helm. The Bears were very tough in the latter part of the season and Clements reel that a lot of this will carry over. The Bears will have to find replacements for Alfred Minus, and Willie Frasier, defensive stalwarts and for the Vergil Shamberger, offensive running back. Clements ts o counting w defensive and Freddie-Ryans to lead the Bears front four. Ryans, 6-2, 230 lbs., has class written all over him and should have a fine yearOn offense, Shaw will be counting on running back James Jones to lead the victory surge. Jones established himself as one of the toughest competitors in the league last season. Shaw has a host of freshmen and sophomores they will have to be ready this season. SAINT PAUL'S COLLEGESaint Paul's won a football game last season and for the Tigers this represented a major success. It is more indicative of the great effort that Coach Pernell Sims is making to turn the Saint Paul's football program up. All-VCEA center Hubert Smart returns to anchor the offensive forward wall. Smart has the great knack for moving out the opposition with force and this will make him a candidate for many post season honors. The Tigers' middle will be fortified with the return of quarterback Bryan Oatman. Oatman is a fine passer and has great faking ability.

These include ' tackle Kenneth Norris," guard l Earl Womack, guard Donald McLaurin and miarri Fiiufnnri ' f ? --- o ?? ?? ? ?nuwu Griffin. The defensive secondary will be led by Sam Taylor. Lovett is going to look a lot at the first year men he recruited and by the middle of the season, this Pirate aggregation should bear serious watching. *** VIRGINIA UNION University will have five returnees who made the mythical All-CIAA team last season and this has to be a very good nucleus to start with. Included in the group are Larry Roberts, running back; Frank McCray, defensive safety; Larry Reed, defensive end; Vincent Eley, linebacker and Richard Macon, defensive tackle. The Panthers posted a fine 9-1 overall mark last season and were undefeated in nine league games Coach Bailey will have more than thirty players on hand with experience.
