i, SAY YOU SAW IT HERE.
8, A f,rst impression of the Johnson C. Smith
. University is that the Golden Bulls will have to
undergo considerable impiuvement before they
> assume championship class.
Eddie McGirt’s crew, committed more than
their share of errors here Saturday night during
the mistake-probed coritesTwith non-Teague'rival
University of Maryland on the Eastern Shores.
They didn’t look sharp nor did they take ad
vantage of the numerous mistakes the Hawks also
made.
The Golden Bulls will win more than their share
of games this year, simply because McGirt has an
overpowering squad with such stickouts as Billy
Corbett, Arthur Hardy and Otis Jones showing
exceptional promise.
BET YOU DIDN’ T KNOW THAT - Professional
Basketball league’s officials go through pre
season training. A 21-man contingent is currently
working out at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wise,
under the watchful eye of John P. Nucatola,
supervisor of officials. This would be an excellent
idea for officials in the CIAA and the MEAC to
follow. -
The surest place to find a helping hand is at the
end of your own arm.
Pro football scouts are appraising the rugged
defensive forward wall of Grambling as “the best
in college football." The honor goes to 255-pound
. Ezil Bibbs, 256-pound Gary Johnson, 256^pound
Robert Barber and 268-pound Jesse O’Neal ...
’James Harris, former Gramblin great, likely will
become the first black quarterback with the Los
Angeles Rams professional football team. Harris
had a 14 for 22 night with his aerials against the
Mlaii Dolphins week before last and apparently
clinched the backup job behind John Hadl.
Married men may have' better halves but
bachelors have better quarters.
3* *.“■ The football experts who rated Howard
University among the top 10 Black college football
teams should immediately consult a head
specialist ... Credit Ohio State among the major
college football teams with a Black starting at the
vital quarterback post.
Versatile Cornelius Greene has a better-than
average chance of becoming the school’s first
black at the position. He’s a 6-foot, 168-pound
sophomore.
People who reach the end of their road are often
surprised by what is not there.
Hornsby Howell of A&T thinks he has one of the
top pro prospects in the country in Carl Collins, his
giant 6-4, 250-pound defensive end. Collins
averaged 6.4 unassisted tackles in 1972, and his
coach expects that he’ll improve on that per
formance this season. - ,
Coach William ’’Pete” Bennett of Virginia State
may have the tallest quarterback in college ranks.
He’s Russell Seaton of Highland Park, Mich., a
gifted young freshman who goes 6-feet, 11-inches
up in the air.
•James Harris, former Grambling great, likely
will become the first black quarterback with the
Los Angeles Rams professional football team.
