IJ I'hLLIMi I I LIKE ms....v:--" . .The folks over at Livingstone College have an excellent point. They are of the opinion that,.if their Blue Bears and the Spartans of Norfolk State should each finish the campaign with undefeated conference records, a playoff contest should be considered between those two fine football teams. . .. It makes mqre sense to promote the playoff game simply because such a contest would put more money in the conference treasury and it , would eliminate any arguments supporters of each school may have as to who is the real 1974 Cl A A football champion. .. If the Blue Bears get by Virginia Union in Livingstone Saturday afternoon, coach Baxter Holman’s fine crew would finish the conference season 5-0, the same record Norfolk State has _A . J '..That would give rise to the question of how would the champion be determined. And, also, if the two teams co-champions, which one would get the bid to the Gate City Bowl in Atlanta, Ga. on Dec. 21? . .Tills reporter takes sides with the Livingstone officials. It must be repeated here that we strongly believe that a championship contest between the winner of the CIAA and the winner of the MEAC would attract more fans than the game in Atlanta or the contest in New Orleans, La. where the MEAC title-winner will encounter the champion of the SWAC on Dec. 7. .'. Both leagues are losing money. The transport ation cost for each trip will be staggering, and the games likely will not attract as.many paying spectators as would a contest between the MEAC-CIAA champions played in this area. KFK Stadium Th Washington, D_C. would be an ideal site if Howard win the MEAC and Bulldog Stadium in Orangeburg, S. C. would be the place if S. C. State captures the honor. . The Post congratulates Jerry Clark, a junior with the Johnson C. Smith University cross country squad who finished second in the Qualifying Meet held in High Point Saturday. He ran second in the 5-mile run. Sophomore Mike Pall came in 18th and freshman John Griffin was 21st.... 4 .. It looks like Tuskegee’s powerful Golden Tigers will be the SIAC representative at the established Gate City Football Bowl in Atlanta next month Tho Tiirorc ?_i ........ 11 = n the conference. They have won six straight contests since dropping their opener to Southern University. . .Young Jerry Fitch, who succeeded Joe Alston as head basketball coach at Johnson C. Smith, has been placed squarely on the proverbial hot seat by the basketball coaches in the CIAA. The conference head cage men pick Fitch’s Golden Bulls to win the Southern Division Championship this winter... ..What happened to the plan for bringing together the MEAC and the CIAA Basketball Tournaments in the Greensboro Coliseum next February? CIAA news releases on the conference basketball promotions do not include any information on the supposed co-sponsored tournament the fact the tournament will or will not be co-sponsored Feb. 27 March 1. Wonder Why? • Bet you didn’t know that if Johnson C. Smith defeats Fayetteville here this week and Virginia State in Petersburg, Va. next week, the Golden Bulls will wind up fourth in the CIAA—the same position they held a year ago. — .— JUNIOR JERRY CLARK ...Golden Bull Runner J. C. Smith Runner To Compete hi NAIA Meet The young Johnson ('. Smith University Cross Country squad will send a runner to the NAIA National Cross County Meet in Kansas City Saturday. . .Jerry Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Clark of 2840 Ridge Ave.. will represent Johnson C. Smith as one of the five representatives from District 26. . .A graduate of Harding High School who attended Winston Salem State University for one year. Clark placed second last week in the District 26 Meet, turning in 26-42 time for the 5-mile run cross country. The 21-year-old junior was making his first bid in cross country competition. He is the holder of the CIAA 2-mile title, having first won the honor in 1972 and again this past spring. He won his first CIAA title while representing the Rams of Winston-Salem State L'niverity. . ( lark has also won the Dis trict 26 3-mile crown and was second in the 6-mile run. His best time in the mile run is 4:23. He has been clocked al 14:39 for the 3-mile and 31:43 for 6-mile.
