Pago B4-The Chronicle, Thursda College Bq?ketb< WSSUi By DAVID BULLA Chronicle Sports Editor Winston-Salem State's basketball season, which is moving into the home stretch, so far has been like a race run on two different tro/'lrc U ?? AJ In the first nine games, Coach C.E. "Bighouse" Gaines searched for the right pieces against a demanding schedule that included such thoroughbreds as North Carolina A&T, Virginia Union, Norfolk State and West Virginia Tech. The Rams limped through those nine games and posted only three victories. The major weakness was the Rams' frontcourt, with ^foot-6, 210-pound Harry Giles playing football and not being available until the fifth game and 6-7, 230-pound Gary Cromartie missing the first eight games wjth a stress fracture in his foot. 4 4 We didn't stop anybody inside until we got Giles and Cromartie playing together," Gaines said. "Both are big and strong, and Giles is just an excellent athlete. Cromartie is playing like a man possessed, although a little too much so on offttise. We like to see him rebound like that." After the holiday break and a 76-69 loss to Hampton University, the Rams have found their collective stride. The result has been eight wins in 10 games, including the last three. More importantly, WSSU takes a game lead over Johnson C. Smith in the CIAA's Southern Division into Friday night's game against Livingstone at Gaines Center . Gaines complimented his players for not losing faith after the slow start. ? ITL _ ? * i nc imporiani ining is tne kids didn't lose confidence in what we're doing," the 39th-year coach said. "They've continued to work hard in practice. When the players maintain positive atifltudes, the coaching staff has to be pleased. "We always play a tough schedule early in the season. We used to start with the Georgia Invitational, which brought all the winners of the black conferences together. If you came through there with two wins, you were set to go. If you didn't, you had to work against the players losing their confidence." ^ As he frequently has done in past seasons, Gaines has been able to add a newcomer at midseason. This year's model is 6-7 Matthew McMillan, who transferred from Lakeland Community College in Mentor, Ohio.

The Rams halted a two-game losing streak with a 77-69 win at St. Augustine's last Thursday night. Alexander Hooper, the ClAA's second-leading scorer, totaled 22 points and Giles added 13.
