contest has been shown on national TV . . .
Incidentally^ Grambling must-be the big-^
gest team in college football. The TigèFs~~

New York City, Soldier Field in Chicago,
Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, the As
trodome in Houston, the Coliseum in Los
Angeles and Memorial Stadium in Jackson.

Mid-Eastern League
Promises To Be Tough
LiKf.fcNîSBUKO - Even before
the newly - formed Mid -
Eastern Athletic Conference
(MEAC) gets underway this
fall, it has generally been
labeled "a football confer -

With such small - college
powers as Morgan State, North
Carolina A&T and North Car
olina Central as the nucleus
of the league, the early pre -
diction could turn out to be

North Carolina AAT's "heat
r,1 football coach, youthful Horns
e by Howell has taken positi\
r steps to guard against
Ρ repeat of that kind of per -
formance this year.
ρ
s* ~—Tp gtnurW'bL· iiiulIi better
ι in all areas, except defensive
backs, and running backs,"
said Howell. "And we are
working very hard on those
positions.
Howell's task will be made
a little easier by the fact that
A&T_ will open the season
with 32 lettermen, including
probably the most solid defen
sive line and linebackers
in the conference.
— This veteran defensive line,
anchored by junior defensive
end William Wideman (6-4 ,
275). senior tackle Ben Tat
um (6-1. 235) and sophorhore
defensive end Reggie Strick -
land (6-3. 250).
The Aggies' talented corps
of linebackers will include
massive senior Ralph Cole -
man (6-3, 210) and senior Ben
Blacknall (6-2. 210). Both or
these playersarealreadyhigh
ly regarded by the pro
scouts. Coleman could easily
be A&T's next Little All -
American.
Offensively last season,
the Aggies' main hindrance waj
the lack of a seasoned quarter
back. Charles Middleton per -
formed admirably for part of
the séason, but Middleton is
really a premier running back
• and flanker.
Howell won't be caught short
this time, as he has rounded up
^ at least three talented signal
caYlers. Ironically, the besl
of the lot seems to be Leonard
Reliford, a 6-4, - 210 -pound
freshman, from Macon, Ga
t Howell says:"''There is . n<
! doubt that In two -years-Reli
; ford will be the best quar
I terback in this area. And- h
. is good enough to play righ
now."
Backing Reliford will b<
senior Maurice Williams, wh(
also doubles as a defensive ;
back and another freshman,
Paul McKibbens (6-3 1 '2,190) I
from Atlanta.
North Carolina Central open- ί
to beat for the CI A A title, but I
the Eagles faltered, at mid- ·,

a way this time. I

CIAA last year; receiver Ja- ·
son Caldwell, a junior who had j
3£ pass catches last season: '
and tight end Mahlon Wil- I
liams, a junior who caught !
24 passes in 1970.
•The Eagles will also be deep
in running backs with Mike I
Carter, Nat Glenn, Kenneth Κ
Ingram and James Mitchell l·
all experienced. fl
The key players on defense, [i
according to Quiett. will be I
235-pound center Ray Cole- j
man, defensive tackle Mike I:

Charles Bellinger.· |
Two teams that will have to I
be reckoned with in the I
new conference are South I

member of the SIAC, Ε
and Howard University, the I
largest predominantly - black I

The Bulldogs of South I

starters back on defense and I
the entire starting backfield, I
led by topnotch quarterbacks I

For many years, Howard I
