Perennial C1AA powerhouse Virginia Union
struck early on a 57-yard touchdown pass and held
on from there to take a 19-7 win over WinstonSalem
State last Saturday night at Bowman Gray
Stadium, handing WSSU its first loss of the season.
The Rams were able to move the ball well between
the 20s against the Panther defense, but were

that point.
"Tonight was the first time we had turnovers
when we got into scoring range," said Ram Coach
Bill Hayes after the loss. "You can't make turnovers
down there and expect to beat a good football
team."
The Panthers, 1-1-1 going into the game and
looking to get untracked under first-year Coach Bill
Taylor, unleashed a surprisingly effective passing
attack led by freshman quarterback William Smith.
Having lost its previous game to Hampton Institute
and been tied by Fayetteville State the week
before, Union was in dire straits.
"We had been down the past couple of weeks and
we really needed a win," said Sam Grooms, the
Panthers' all-CIAA linebacker whose interception
stopped a Ram drive that had carried to the Union
16.
"We knew we would have to play Winston-Salem
tough and we needed to come through tonight," he
said. "Before the game we said that we were going

Like most college seniors, Walter Black III anxiously
looked forward to a promising career last
spring.
What he didn't count on, however, was having to
wait an extra year to get things started.
After four stellar seasons of football at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Black
decided to try his hand in the Canadian Football
League as a defensive back this fall.
Then -a preseason injury put his football future
on hold.
"Right before the start of the preseason, I broke
my leg," Black recalls. "I was playing with the
Saskatchewan Roughriders and I think I had a real
good chance of starting."
"Of course I'm disappointed that I'm not
playing football, but it's been pretty easy
to adjust to coaching. "
- Walter Black
Unfortunately for Black, his injury meant he
would be out for all of the *84 season. For the first
time in 13 years, he is not playing football in
September. Yet, though he is disappointed at that
prospect, he has taken on coaching in familiar surroundings
to fill the void.
4'When I broke my leg, I decided to come back
home to recuperate,** he says. 4iAfter I had been
herAviCarver High Defensive) Coach (Alfred) Poe
called me and asked me if I*d be interested in helping
him out.
44 He thought I could bring to the team some of
the things 1 had learned in high school and college
football," says Black, who played tailback and
defensive back for Carver when he was in the 10th
grade. 44I thought about it a while and decided to
give it (coaching) a try.**

pacing the sidelines as a coach has been surprisingly
easy for Black.
"Of course I'm disappointed that I'm not playing
football, but it's been pretty easy to adjust to
coaching," he says. "My parents and family havjr
given me a lot of support and that has made it a lot
easier for me."
Black still believes that, when next fall rolls
around, he'll be playing professional football in
Canada. So he looks at this year as a time to relax.
"I think I was the best defensive back in camp,"
