DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Bethune-Cook
man College,
which plays its football games in
relative obscurity, has drawn
some headlines recently, thanks
to a record-setting quarterback. .
The Wildcats, who usually play
before crowds of about 5,OCX),
have been sparked by hardthrowing
Bernard Hawk. In a
flame - with fVnroia ^nnth^rn
recently, Hawk passed 66 times,
completing 40 for 527 yards and
three touchdowns. It was one of
the most impressive performances
of the year by a college
quarterback, and established
Hawk as one of the best quarter
backs in the country.
Hawk, however, remains
modest. "The sign of a great
quarterback is to win a championship,"
he says. "There's no
greater feeling in the world than
being on a winning team"
B-CC, which recently clinched
the MEAC title, figures Hawk,
only a junior, Will get better. "I
don't think you~can write down
. in the books that he has played
the best game of his career," says
B-CC Offensive Coordinator
Rick Stockstill. "He'll do better
before he's done at B-CC. No,
he'll do better before the end of
this season."

No Surprise Here
JACKSON, Miss. -- Alcorn
State has been picked to win the
Southwestern Athletic Conference
basketball title. No surprise
there, however. The Braves
have won the crown five of the
last six years, and have all five
starters back from last year's
21-10 team.
Says Alcorn Coach fravfc'
Whitney: "Being picked No. 1
puts no pressure on us." Alcorn
was picked No. 1 in a poll of
SWAC coaches, while Alabama
State was picked to finish second,
followed by Southern University,
Texas Southern, Grambling,
Mississippi Valley, Jackson State
and Prairie View.

and victories - after a schoolrecord
7-3 finish last year. It's
time for the Tigers to spring an
upset. St. Paul's by three.
Improving Fayetteville State
hasn't had a big win all season
although it consistently has posed
a big-play threat. Benji Knox, the
Broncos' fullback, is one of the
top runners in the conference and
could explode against any defensive
unit. On the other hand,
UDC, a Division II power in
basketball, is just the opposite in

A Smart Slate
ALCORN, Miss. - Alcorn
State, off to a 4-0 start and a Top
10 ranking in the NCAA Division
I-AA poll, says it owes its early
success to smart scheduling.
The Braves, off to their best
start since 1974 when they won
nine straight, have had an open
date after nearly every game this
season.
Said ~ Alcorn" Coach Marino
Casern: "Having three open
dates in the first six weeks of the
season has allowed us to get well
and keep the same people on the
field that we need to have out
there."
Those open dates become a
thing of the past nowi^however.
The Braves finish their season
with six straight games without a
break,
MEACTV
GREENSBORO - The MidEastern
Athletic Conference has
reached an agreement to have 12
of its basketball games shown on
cable television.
The All College Sports Group
says it will pipe the games into 20
million homes. Bob Drakeford,
general manager of All College
SDorts. savs his eomnanv has
signed a "six-figure," three-year
contract with the MEAC.
Reverse Discrimination?
<>&
DALLAS, Tex. ? A federal
jury has awarded $850,000 in
damages to a former high school
football coach who claimed he
was fired from his job at a
predominantly black school
because he is white.
Norman Jett was in the fourth
year of a five-year ^contract when
he was "fired as athletic director
and football coach at South Oak
Cliff High in Dallas/ He was
replaced by a black coach and
later filed suit.
School officials had charged
Jett with failing to properly
manage the athletic program, but
the all-white jury sided with the
coach.

gold against the Firebirds. Broncos
by 10.
During most seasons, the matchup
between South Carolina
State and Virginia Union would
be one of the games of the year in
black college football. But 1984
isn't a typical year for two perennially
tough black college powers
having uncharacteristically
mediocre seasons. This one is a
toss-up with the team scoring
first likely to come away with the
win. I'll go with the Panthers,
