third period with a 10-point
flurry to put the game away.
Starting^ the?tivird quarter,
Southside held a slim 30-25 lead.
However, Southside gradually
began to get its running game in
gear, led by tough inside play
from Christian, Terry Gunter
and Robert Mcllwaine.
Mclwaine recorded two consecutive
slams off feeds from
Christian to put the score at 49-29
and the game was never close
after that point.
"Our plan was to take the ball
inside and take advantage of our
size and strength," Christian said
following the win. "That's why
we played a slow pace in the first
half; we thought it would work to
our advantage. But, after we

The Southside team, which
many believe is the most talented
in the league, is finally beginning
to challenge for the league crown.
?'We started the season playing as
individuals but now we're beginning
to play more as a team,"
said Christian.
Besides Christian's 28 points,
Gunter had 21 to lead Southside.
Mike Reid had 15 points to pace
the Breakers, while Kenny
Mickens tossed in 14. The
Breakers were without the services
of Linwood Oliver, which
gave them a distinct height disadvantage.

By BARRY COOPER

Npw that the Supreme Court
** hras cleared the wolPo* tha rwajflh
r uetworks to completely ignore
the smaller and predominantly
black schools, it is time for those
institutions to attract the riches
of football on television from
another direction.
Let the Notre Dames, Penn
States and Alabamas have all the
big bucks that ABC and CBS
have to offer. And, sure, the
overwhelming majority of the TV
audience would rather see Notre
Dame against Southern California
rath #?r than firamhlino vc
Southern, anyway.
Still, there appears to be a
built-in TV market for the
smaller universities, if only they
prove innovative enough to exploit
it.
The solution is pay television.
A school like Florida A&M,
Grambling, Southern or Ten-nessee
State enjoys enough
popularity that its fans would
pay, say, $10 to see a game on
television that they otherwise
might not have attended.

at Jackson State, Tennessee
State, Eastern Kentucky,
Southern University and Georgia
Southern. Wouldn't it be
something if those games were
available to Rattler fans on television?
Say the service was
available only in the state of
Florida.
Rattler fans would, at the start
of the season, visit their cable TV
office, pay their fee and pick up a
_ box which they would attach to
their TV sets.
Come game time, an independent
production company would
televise the game and beam it to a
. satellite, which in turn would
feed the signal to all those
authorized to receive it.
The same thing could be done
in Tennessee with Tennessee
State, in Louisiana with Grambling
and Southern, and in Virginia
with Norfolk State and Hampton
Institute.
I know it all seems a little
farfetched. But it isn't, really.
