: Summer Baskettoc Alumni esca on dunk at t By SAM DAVIS Chronicle Sports Editor ^naries "runkin" Douthit grabbed a loose ball and jammed it through the hoop at the buzzer to give the Alumni team a 102-100 victory over the Carver Summer League All-Stars last Thursday night. Douthit's dunk climaxed an electrifying finish and allowed their younger, less^gxperienced counterparts. "When I got the ball, the only thing 1 thought of was to go to the basket the best way I know how," said Douthit, who outlept three opponents with his 42-inch vertical jump to notch the winning score. "Those boys can really play," Douthit said of the feisty AllStars. "They are one of the best all-star teams anywhere. We didn't believe thev would he as tough as they were, but they showed a lot of fight." Former Harlem Globetrotter Robert Little, who at 6-8 was matched against 6-9 Robert Mcllwaine, had similar thoughts on the play of the young team. "These are the best basketball players in the city," Little said. "as a wnole, you couldn't get a better squad. They are a good group of kids. They are willing to listen to anyone that tries to help them." Summer League director HansdlgHcntz said he was deeply moved by his team's performance and by the fact that the team voted to give him the Most Valuable Player Trophy.

"James Burch (of Parkland High School) is as good as we thought when we recruited him," Hayes said of the rookie linebacker. "He's a good hitter and he'll play early. "We have three veteran linebackers returning so we'll be pretty solid," Hayes continued. "Our line looks strong with (Tim) Piatt, (Mike) Warren and (Dan) Bryson". In the secondary, Hayes ex pects the presence of 6-3, 230-pound Derrick Beasley to be a settling force. "Derrick is a tough strong safety," Hayes said of his prize sophomore. "He's big and strong and he also has speed (4.5 over 40 yards). Junior free safety Bruce Dunlap wilkako^be counted upon backfield, as will Angelo Spruill. Additional help will be provided by frosh Anthony Blaylock and Raymond Puryear. While Hayes has added a host of talented freshmen, he also hired two new assistants who have a wealth of experience. Wylie Harris, former head coach at Johnson C. Smith, is the Rams' new defensive line coacn and Joe Godette, formerly of East Carolina, handles (he tight ends and linebackers. "Wylie has a lot of coaching ability," said Hayes. "We've always been good friends, but we've never been on the same side of the ball, I'm very pleased to have him here working with us." Another wrinkle Hayes is toying with is putting the ball in the air more this season. The Rams' success passing last year helped open up their running game and Hayes said a stronger aerial attack may keep opposing teams from stacking their defensive alignments to stop WSSU's league-leading "T-Bone"-rushing attack. Ill ? pe All-Stars he buzzer team come back from a sevenpoint deficit in the last five minutes to take the lead. "Everybody on the team played well. Although it's a little frustrating to lose such a wellplayed game, I'm proud of what these kids did." Hentz's tean^was paced by the efforts of Brian Howard, Jeff Patton, Anthony Sides and Jack Maxwell down the stretch, Howard casion against the veteran Alumni team, which also featured former high school standouts Sydney Wilkins, Vincent Brown and Mike "Pop Bottle" Thomas. "This is the best group of young men that 1 have ever worked with," said Hentz, who formed the league five years ago. "They were eager to learn; they hustled and worked hard to improve during the year. "I thought Jeff Patton had an I ? I t ouisianaing game, said nentz of the former Forsyth Country Day School eager. "Sides had a good game and Bryan Howard took control inside for us." Both teams were eager to gain an early advantage; however, neither could pull away from the other.

But the Alumni looked as they would put away the youngsters when they ran off eight unanswered points to start the second half.
