SDOflj DCâl H V BILL JOHNSON . . I— HOW COME??? If it was the fashion to go naked, the face would be hardly observed?...The CIAA officials do not use smooth-talking Willie Walker as the Public Address Announcer at their annual basketball tournament in Hampton, Va. later this month. Willie wowed audiences through the years with his professionalism at CIAA tournaments in Greensboro, and he is the man behind the mike at all of Johnson C. Smith University's home basketball games. So, few MEAC teams are playing above the charmed .500 percentage mark in basketball games won and lost? This week's conference stats list only Howard and Morgan with more victories than defeats. What is more, it also shows that the MEAC cagers have won only 20 of 71 games played against non-conference oppo nents. Little boys and little girls do not play well together when the bigger boys and bigger girls have such a ball?...Young men's fancy turns to thoughts of love only in the springtime?...Bas ketballs are bigger than baseballs and baseballs are bigger than golf balls? Referees do not wear combat gears and receive combat pay when working basketball games in small college gymnasiums? Fish always bite better YESTERDAY...What noliticians sav anH u/hat thou aluiaup - You only ^et three strikes before beingealled "out" and have to look at four balls before getting a free ticket to first base?... NEITHER HERE NOR THERE Herbert Entzminger, who has been playing great ball for the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University, has been named CIAA "Player Of The Week." The 6-6 junior averaged 32 points against St. Paul's, Fayetteville State and Winston-Salem State last week, hitting 43 of 81 attempts for the floor for an eye-bulging 53.1 percent... The CIAA honored coach Charles Christian of Norfolk State for steering his Spartans to victory over Virginia State and Hampton. As a results, he was named "Coach Of The Week." This week's CIAA stats sheet failed to list a " Golden Bull among. the conference top 10 scorers. J.C. Smith cagers were also absent from the top 10 individual rebounders. Coach Jerry Fitch's herd were sixth in team offense and 11 among the conference's 12 teams in team defense, with a minus 3.9 scoring margin. A large turnout at the Second Annual Johnson C. Smith University Invitational Swimming Championships here Saturday morning would make coach Charley Cox happy. A record-breaking total of 21,000 fans have watched Norfolk State and Virginia State in two basketball games this season. 11,000 were on hand at the Norfolk Scope when the Spartans edged the Trojans, 105-103 in overtime and 10,000 jammed into the Richmond Coliseum to cheer Virginia State to a thrill-packed 59-57 triumph. Another sellout looms for the Hampton Colise um later this month when these two CIAA giants come together in the annual shootout with six other conference teams. Howard University's slick new basketball press book makes interesting reading. It was authored by Cureton Johnson and his able staff. The book also informs that the Bisons have experienced only seven winning seasons in the past 14 campaigns. It must be heartening to the coaches around the CIAA to read about the "bad officiating" in that other conference. In this instance, "bad" doesn't mean good! Cunningham. IVlobley Named Players Of The Week By James Cuthbertson Post Staff Writer If South Mecklenburg is to defend its state 4-A champion ship, the road must be travel1 ed with care because next week, the Sabres have gamei with West Charlotte and upset minded West Mecklenburg. However, the Sabres have both a beef to settle with the Lions, who beat them in De cember, and the horses that are needed to stop West Meck lenburg. Two of the horses are fea tured this week in the Char lotte Post as "Players of the Week." "I want to make my last year of basketball a good one," smiled star Aaron Cun ningham, who will attend South Carolina State next year on a football srholarshin fun ningham will concentrate only on football at the Orangeburg school wherg he will play quarterback. Last week his concentration was on another sport as he hit the nets for 20 in a win over North and 32 in a 77-71 win over Olympic. The six foot forward lives on Walnut Ave nue. His friend and comrade, Jerome Mobley the other half of South's dynamic duo was burning the nets also as the Sabres won two games. He had 27 points and 14 rebounds in the win over North in scoring his 991st point and topped the 1,000 mark three nights later with 20 over Olym pic to become the first player to score over the century mark since Denver Nuggets' star Bobby Jones did during his career at the same school. Jerome is elated with his three yëaF peiTorftfSfiee awT r says he would like "to follow in my cousins' footsteps," re ferring to UNCC star Law rence "Lew" Massey, and UNC star Walter Davis who live in the same Sterling-Pine Valley section of Pineville. "Because of my grades," the senior center-forward who stands at 6'3" said, "I am considering going to a private prep school where I can get. my study habits developed. I would like to play in the Atlantic Coast Conierence," he added. Other stars in the area include Tom Stillwell of Inde pendence who hit 23 in a loss to West . Joe Black who hit 21 in a 62-58 upset of Independence and 18 in a 72-55 loss to Myers Park ..Graylon Wallace and Melvin Hoover of North who hit 22 and 20 respectively in a loss to South...Ondra Richard son of Olympic who hit 18 in a win over East and 31 in a loss to South...Tim Harris of Olym pic who hit 18 in a loss to South...Jeff Nance who hit 24 in a win over East...Johnny Witherspoon of Garinger who hit 24 in the Wildcats' win over Harding...
