I BILL JOHNSON.
BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT. ..
The reason some people can’t do their
Christmas shopping early is they don’t know who
their friends will be by Holiday times...
List this reporter among those who believe
that the current major league players draft is
bad for baseball. Common sense dictates that no
one gives his best with the kind of security now
being offered top players. And long-term con
tracts take away the incentives to go all out on
the field. It also takes away the threat of a player
being traded for poor performances and for
various other reasons.
St. Augustine’s will tfalk away with the
. championship of the eighth annual Charlotte
Tip-Off Basketball Tournament here next week
end. Neither Johnson C. Smith nor Allen are
ready to play at their best and, it would .appear
that Barber-Scotia is not capable of pulling an
upset.
Coach Harvey Heartley will introduce a couple
of hotshot freshmen in guard Anthony Boggan
and forward George Roberts, who have just
about won starting positions in the St. Augus
tine’s lineup.
Word out of Durham is that Robert “Stone
wall” Jackson has turned down the head football
coach position at North Carolina Central. The
former Johnson C. Smith head coach is reported
ly happy with his present assistant coach duties.
Don’t be too surprised if Willie Smith, who
recently resigned the head coach job at NCCU, is
seriously considered for the Director of Athletic
position at the Durham school.
Cureton Johnson and his able public relations
staff at Howard University are pushing Gerald
Glover for All-American honors. The 6-7 native
of Atlanta, Ga., who has been named to the
All-MEAC team three times, has been nominat
ed to play in the Pizza Hut Classic in Las Vegas
next April.
Here We Go Again Dept...Dr. Frank Bannister
was the keynote speaker at Winston-Salem’s
banquet in honor of head football coach Bill
Hayes. The noted sports figure was quoted as
saying Winston-Salem State should be playing
the likes of Wake Forest, etc. What Bannister is
saying is that we ought to throw the best of the
black colleges against a predominate white
school that is equipped with the cream of the
black athletes.
Dr. Bannister also berated the white media for
not giving better coverage to the black schools.
In our opinion, he should have told his audience
that the time is now when Blacks should stop
begging whites to do the jobs that they should do
for themselves. Black schools should first equip
themselves with able, aggressive public rela
tions departments that are designed to sell their
schools with top quality, consistent stories. It
would also appear that Dr. Bannister overlooked
or completely ignored one of the state’s most
excellent and most aggressive weeklies (The
Winston-Salem Chronicle). Shame on you, sir!
The Black Press is the only media that will
fully concentrate on selling black products,
v Therefore, the Black community and the Black
Press should grow together.
A case in point is that two of the state’s most
gifted basketball players, Herbert Entsminger
• of Johnson C. Smith and Edward Ropef* of North
Carolina Central, likely will go unnoticed at
all-star rating time because of the lack of
consistent publicity by their school’s sports
information departments.
Holidays and Winter Days
HOLIDAYS and winter days
the season for entertaining
and sharing with family and
friends. One nice way to en
tertain is at a tree-trimming
party, post-holiday or bowl
game party. Treat guests to
an easy buffet built around
a mouth-watering main dish
soup. For delicious recipe
ideas, write to:
SOUP'S ON FOR SUPPKR'
BOX 355-NPS

Memo; To Santa!
ACCORDING to a survey
taken by the Dell O'mo
Research Bureau of San
Francisco, liquors are again
the most popular Christmas
giving gift item. Tiie com
pany listed among the favor
ite holiday items Drambuie,
Courvoisier, Tia Maria,
Peter Heering, Applejack,
Sciarada. Booth’s Gin. and
Sandeman ports and sherries
among the best known.
These and other brands
come in special Christmas
gift wrappings.
Keep Toys Working
TOO MANY Christmas toys
end up unused because of
squeaky or stuck parts. This
year, keep toys working with
WD-40. It loosens and lubri
cates stuck parts. Non
greasy, WD-40' leaves no
residue to stain children's
clothing or furniture and is
harmless to most painted
surfaces. WD-40 is avail
able in handy spray cans at
your local stores.
Bake Better
With Less Fat-With Cocoa
HOLIDAY time means lus
cious desserts, and that
means chocolate. But did
you know you can substi
tute unsweetened cocoa for
baking chocolate in any
recipe, cutting down on
saturated fat. 3 level table
spoons of cocoa plus 1 of
shortening (use polyunsatu
rated oil or margarine)
equals 1 ounce baking choc
olate. The cocoa bonus—
your cakes and other festive
goodies will be richer,
moister, more ckocotatcy'

Bolton Stars For Losers
Bulldogs Edge Rams For Gold Bowl Crown
By Gerald O. Johnson
Richmond, Va. - Playing
before 14,500 spectators, the

for gridiron warfare.
Taking advantage of a short
kick, Winston-Salem marched
to a touchdown with their first
possession. The drive started
when quarterback Kermit
Blount lost two yards on an
option manuever, but half
back Randy Bolton ripped off
17 yards for a first down at the
SCSC 35. Halfback Arrington
Jones picked up 12 and 3 yards
on consecutive carries before
Blount hit Antonio Howard
with a 13-yard pass. Bolton
bolted 7 yards to the one and
Jones took it in from that point
Derek Brewington added the
point from placement and
Winston-Salem went ahead,

won both Gold Bowl Contests,
auicklv retaliated following
the ensuing kickoff Coach
W’illie Jeffries' powerful team
traveled 80 yards with just six
plays to knot the score at 7
apiece. Second string quar
terback Nate Rivers provided
the key play, going 64 yards
with a quarterback option and
Malcoln Montgomery kicked
the extra point.
The two teams fought on
fairly even terms throughout
the remainder of the first half
The Bulldogs moved to the
Rams' 31 yard line before
their attack stalled and Mont

far short and to the left
S.C. State put together ano
ther serious drive near the end
of the third period when Jac
kie Reed and Charlie Burgess
led a march to the Rams 20.,
but a 15 yard penalty set the
Bulldogs back to the Rams 47
and a field goal attempt by
Montgomery sailed far wide of
the goal posts.
The Bulldogs got their big
break when linebacker Eu
gene Grant captured Blount's
fumble at the Winston-Salem
32 They drove down to the
Ram 7 before the Winston-Sa
lem defense toughened and
Montgomery hit with his
game-winning field goal from
25 yards away.

for victory went up in smoke

far short of what would have
been a 43-yard field goal
