Former Rams Football Coach Sheppard Dies By MARK R. MOSS Chronicle Suff Writer Davie Lewis Sheppard, a for mer assistant football coach at Win ston-Salem State University who came under scrutiny when he applied for the head coaching job last year, died Sept. 1 1. He was 42. Sheppard suffered a massive heart attack while jogging near his Belmont, Mass. home. He was eulo gized on Sept. 17 at Shiloh Baptist Church in Williamston, his home town. Sheppard was the offensive coordinator under former WSSU Coach Bill Hayes and also served as a counselor in the school's guidance office from 1983-1988. ^ast December, when WSSU was looking for a new head football coach to replace Pete Richardson, Sheppard was the first one inter viewed for the position. It was believed by some who were critical of the search committee that school officials and Sheppard supporters were attempting to name him to the post without considering other qual ified candidates. Sheppard was passed over for the position after it was revealed that he had lost his job at Williams College because of alle gations of sexual harassment. Sheppard was a graduate of Guilford College, where he was a record-setting tailback from 1969 1971. In 1981, he earned a master's degree in secondary education from Tufts University. Mutter Evans, owner of WAAA radio station and who knew Sheppard from grade school, described him as a man who "loved people, was unselfish and loved challenges." "He was a lifelong friend," said Davie Li Evans, a Williamston native. Sheppard is survived by his wife, Cheryl Myers Sheppard and a 9-year-old daughter, Margaux. The family asks that in lieu of is Sheppard flowers, contributions be made to the Margaux Sheppard Trust Fund, c/o Cheryl Myers Sheppard, 130 Oakley Road. Belmont, Mass. 02178. Contest to Showcase Traditional Gospel Music . By DAVID L. DILLARD Chronicle Staff Writer A group of local choirs, quar tets and soloists will convene at the Dixie Classic Fair in October to showcase their talents for down home gospel lovers. The Winston-Salem Chronicle is hosting its first annual Gospel Contest to showcase traditional gospel music and to keep it alive in the black community. A1 Martin, a 27-year gospel music disc jockey and contest co chairman, said traditional gospel music was chosen because it is the foundation for contemporary music. - "When you talk about tradi tional music, you're talking about back in slavery times," Martin said. "That's where gospel music origi nated. When there was nothing but clapping of hands and stomping the feet" The traditional gospel theme Bumte McBrkte "See me, Bennie McBride for the best price and the best service on any new Chevy, Geo or Used Car."

COUPON EXPIRES l _ _ ? ^rjLi99L has attracted many local choirs who are entering not to compete, but because they love down-home gospel music. On Oct. 4, the first night of the contest, five local choirs will per form: Mt. Olive Baptist Church Mass Choir, Ambassadors for Christ Choir, SBC Gospel Choir, Christ Rescue Temple Mass Choir and the Spirit of Life Community Choir. Rev. Charles E. Gray, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, said the 60-iiicnibci cliuir has been practic ing each night. "We're excited about being in it," Gray said. "I wish there would be more of it" Gray said the choir released an album three months ago entitled Let God Be God, and they are also plan ning to record again soon. The Ambassadors for Christ Choir, headed by David L. Allen, recently landed a third-place finish among 10 other choirs at a national competition in Chicago. The 50 member choir has recorded several albums featuring guest appearances by Shirley Caesar, Darryl Coley, James Moore and others. SBC (Shiloh Baptist Church) Gospel Choir has focused on tradi tional gospel music since its begin ning in 1972. Choir director Eddie Bines said the 50-member choir, entered the contest to help spread traditional music. "I don't look at the choir's talent in a competitive nature," he said. "If we win first place ? and I hope we do ? we will donate it back to the church." David Allen, who also directs the Spirit of Life Community Choir, - said the group of school-age youths are beginning to teftearse after com ing off a summer hiatus. The 100-member group of youths, whose ages range from 5 to 23, represent' 80 different churches7 Allen said they recently "backed up Michael Bolton's Winston-Salem concert and appeared on BET's Bobby Jones Gospel Hour last sum mer.' In addition to recording an album, they have performed with. Be Be and Ce Ce Winans, Trumaine Hawkins and the Winston-Salem Symphony. Although the style of music is designed to attract the older crowd, Allen says it could be a family affair even for youths. Each ot the five groups Will be ? allowed 15 minutes to perform, and they will be allowed to use instru ments. Also, Martin said, The Mighty Wonders gospel group will make a special guest performance. - "I don't think you can beat tra ditional gospel music, Martin said. "We're just going to have a good time singing and praising the Lord." SIMPLY UNPARALLELED NUTRITION Matola products surpass ail others on the market in total nutrition.
