EDWARD “JUICE” JOHNSON
...Flashy running back
Edward “Juice” Johnson
Is “Golden Bull Of Week”
ny i>amamei Myers
Sports Staff Writer
This weeks "Golden Bull of
the Week” is Edward John
son, running back for
the Golden Bulls of Johnson C.
Smith.
Ed, who wears number 40, is
6’1” and weighs 200 pounds, is
a junior physical education
major from Allendale, South
Carolina. His nickname and
the one you'll most likely hear
around the popular westside
campus is “Juice.” When ask
ed how he got the name, he
says coach Charlie Cox gave it
to him after a practice session
and it just stuck with him.
On last Saturday against
Shaw University in Raleigh,
“Juice” carried the ball seven
times for 186 yards and one
touchdown. His most impres
sive run came in the fourth
quarter when he galloped 96 i
yards enroute to the score. He
described the play as a simple
dive play with good blocking
from his offensive line and
hard running from him. For a
guy whose main role is to
block for star running back
“Warhorse Williams,” “Jui
ce” now gives Smith a potent
ed double threat attack that
can score with regularity.
When asked how he feels
about the progress of the
season, he stated “the defense
is much improved and the
Quarterback Curtis Johnson
(no relation) is playing better.
“Juice” feels that when the
quarterback is "ticking, the
whole team is ticking.” He
says the team has gone
through an attitude change.
“We’re playing as a unit
now. Mistakes were our main
downfall.”' '. He also added
that it was the play of the
offensive line last Saturday
that helped him in gaining his
186 yards and the team total
rushing of 287 yards.
Big days on the gridiron is
nothing new for “Juice,” be
cause he had his share when
he played 4 years for Allen
dale-Fairfax High School. He
also was a All-State Basket
ball Player in 1975. He has
hopes of playing pro football
and becoming a coach at the
high school level.

DURHAM—South Carolina
State got its "football ex
press” slowed down just a
little but the Bulldogs are still
at the top of the Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference league
standings despite a 21-21 tie
against Newberry last Satur
day night.
Coach Willie Jeffries' char
ges had to fight for their lives
in an attempt to stay unbeat
en. The top ranked Black
College team and the number
one ranked team in NCAA
Division Two trailed most ol
the game but the Bulldogs tied
the game with a little less than
13 minutes to go. Malcolm
Montgomery had a 32-yard
field goal blocked late in the
game and he missed a despe
ration 57-yarder on the last
play of the game.
In MEAC league games De
laware State won its fifth
straight game turning back
Morgan State, 20-6, North Ca
rolina A&T exploded for its
fourth consecutive victory
turning back Howard, 34-1C
and Maryland-ES won its first
league game of the season
celebrating homecoming with
a 14-6 decision over North
Carolina Central.
S.C. State which lost five
fumbles in the game, fell
behind early in the game.
Newberry scored on a one
yard plunge by Carl Carter in
the first period but S.C. State
came back to tie the game at
the end of the first quarter at
7-7 when Nat Rivers went over
from four yards out. Rivers
set the score up with a 53 yard
run.
Midway the second stanza,
Newberry took the lead once
again at 10-7 on a 44-yard field
goal by Bo McMillan. How
ever, the Bulldogs behind the
running of Rickey Anderson
took the lead at intermission
at 14-10 when Anderson scored
Newberry tried to put more
pressure on the Bulldogs in the
third period by scoring 11
points while the Bulldogs were
scoreless. Quarterback Danny
Williams scooted 78 yards on a
keeper and then Marshall An
derson ran the two point con
version. Later in the period
McMillan kicked a 39-yart
field goal to give Newberry i
21-14 margin
Anderson, who rushed for
148 yards in 28 carries, scored
on a 18-yard run with 12:21 left
in the contest and Malcolm

from placement to tie the
game.

301 yards and passed for 26
yards. Newberry was able to
muster 97 yards on the ground
and 196 passing. Anderson
rushed for 148 yards in 28
carries while Rivers took the
ball 18 times for 119 yards
The Bulldogs who are 4-0 in
league play and 6-0-1 overall,

give the Bulldogs at least a tie
for the MEAC grid race. The

ber 3 at 2 p.m.
Coach Jeffries had a lot of
praise for the Newberry team
I
Willie Jeffries
...Bulldog leader
“They had a lot going for them
today. They really took it to
us. This was the type game
where execution and aggres
siveness will win out. I think
Anderson had a great night
but we might have worked
him too hard.” Jeffries con
cluded.
Delaware State ran its lea
gue record to 4-1 and its
overall mark to 5-2 with the
come-from-behind win over
Morgan State. Morgan scored
in the second quarter on a
seven-yard run by Lloyd Mc
Cleave. The PAT was no good
and Delaware was behind 6-0
at the break.
Andre Dixon returned the
second half kickoff 85 yards to
Jim McKinley
...Wins four straight
paydirt and Andrew Johnson
added the PAT to give Dela
ware State a 7-6 lead. Anthony

touchdowns for the Hornets on
runs of three and four yards in
the fourth period.
Delaware State rushed for
254 yards while allowing Mor
gan State only 81 yards. In the
passing department the Hor
nets passed for 109 yards and
Morgan gained 82 yards
through the airways.
Coach Ed Wyche cited his
team’s continued improved
play. “We never gave up. I
think the boys fought real hard
in the second half. The second
half kickoff really got us fired.
^£jd the defense was once
again superb. "
Lucious Goodwine was the
top rusher for Delaware State
with 137 yards in 23 carries
while Beamon had 90 yards in
14 tries. McCleave picked up
126 yards 24 carries to lead the

game's opening kickoff at the
Howard 25-yard line. The Ag
gies were not to push the ball
across but Howard took at its
own four-yard line.
Howard was forced to punt
the ball but punter Howard

getting a high snap and A&T
had the ball at the Howard
five. Two plays later quarter
back Ellsworth Turner ran
over from the two. Nolan
Jones booted the PAT and
A&T 7-0. The Aggies got a
43-yard field goal from Jones
in the first quarter to take a
10-0 after the first 15 minutes.
The Bison cut the gap to 10-3

field goal. The Aggies came
back to put another score on
the board before intermission.
Don Harris returned a punt 52

on the next play Turner walk

failed and the Aggies led 16-3
at the break.
A&T came back in the se
cond half and Turner passec
49 yards to Frank Carr with 1(
minutes remaining in the pe
riod. Again Jones converted to
give the Aggies a 23-3 margin.
Howard was not to be denied
as the Bison got on the score^
board on a 34-yard pass from
Byron Thomas to Steve Wilson
for the TD Ward’s conversion
was good to leave the score at
23-10 after three quarters of
play.
In the final period the Ag
gies put II points on the
scoreboard. Jones booted a
47-yard field goal with Bill
Joyner, who rushed for 167
yards in 21 carries, broke
loose on a 42-yard scamper.
Turner passed to Billy Mims

A&T dominated the game sta

228 yards and passed for 110
yards while Howard could
muster only 46 yards on the

of age. We are at the point now
where our defense «■/*a give us
the ball in good fiero position
and that’s a sign of real
progress. I can see improve
ment in every game. We play
ed with a lot of intensity
today,” the first-year head
