Smit) in Winston-Salem Coliseun Elizabeth City at Winston Salem Division leading Virginia State on Monday, January 28, at Hartley Woods Gym, then its back to Winston-Salem for a game with the Rams. Virginia State, 7-0 in con ference play and 11-1 overall, is lead by All-CIAA center Linwood Johnson, whose averaging 26 points and 13 rebounds a game. He is backed up on the front line by 6-4 freshman flash James Tisdol who's averaging 18 points a game. The Trojans attack is directed by speedy Sylvester Robinson, a 5-11 senior. ; Reggie Whiting gives the . Trojans excellent scoring balance and he also plays strong defense. l Milton Lundy rounds out the starting Virginia State lineup. The road has not been kind , to the Bulls this season who ' have dropped four games on the road. Their only loss at , home was a decision to North Carolina Central University in the Charlotte, Tipoff Tour nament. The Bulls have already t beaten Clark College this season and own two victories over Winston-Salem State. Only Virginia State looms a big threat as the Bulls take aim on the number one spot and a top position in the C1AA playoffs scheduled for February 28. March 1. and March 2 in Greensboro Along with the victory over Winston-Salem, the Bulla - some--other good= news when ace guard Willie Joplin had the cast removed from his foot. He is expected to return to practice sometime this week although his return to the lineup still depends on his manueverability. He has been in the cast for five weeks. In his place Smith coach Joe Alston has tried a number of players and apparently has decided to go with 6-1 fresh man Chelsea Lewis. Lewis, a junior from Danville, Va., demonstrated his long range ability against the Rams when he hit five jumpers from over 20 feet out. i His shooting is taking the pressure off the Golden Bulls inside men who have been shooting at a torrid clip themselves. The most awesome performance of late was by George “Chick" Cooper who canned 11 of 12 first half shots against Win ston-Salem and finished the night with a 15 of 21 per formance for 30 points. With 6-9 Milton Hill, 6-8 Twiggy Sanders, and 6-6 Robert Lewis the Bulls have one of the most intimidating front lines in the Conference and can afford the luxury of having Cooper, the team’s leading rebo under, shoot from beyond 15 feet out. If the Bulls can manage to hold on to their present con ference lead they will not only be eligible for CIAA tour nament play but will also be eligible for the NAIA district finals scheduled for early February. JOE ALSTON Bull mentor WILLIE JOPLIN’S .. Letting it Fly Joplin Returns Saturday Speculations here Wed nesday morning were that senior Willie Joplin would return to the Johnson C.
