SDOfll DCdl HV MILL J( IHNSON THE WAY IT LOOKS TO ME ... For all intent and purposes, the lid has been nailed tightly on Johnson C. Smith's hopes for qualifying for the annual Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Basketball Tournament in the Hampton, Va. Coliseum, beginning Thurs day. February 23. The Golden Bulls are currently fifth among the six teams in the Conference's southern division and only the top four teams will be invited. At the moment, Winston-Salem State's rampa ging Rams and Fayetteville State's Broncos nave cinched berths in the big meet and Shaw and Livingstone appear to be in position to get the other two bids. An assessment of the Golden Bulls chances reveals their case is almost hopeless. Shaw, with a 3-7 league record, has five games left, including a match with Smith in Raleigh. On the >t.her hand, Livingstone only has two conference games left on the schedule. Both games will be . layed in Salisbury. The Blue Bears will face Shaw and St. Augustine's. In the meantime, Johnson C. Smith has four parties on its league slate, including bouts with Fayetteville State, Shaw and Hampton on the road and St. Augustine's at home. Jerry Fitch's quintet has already dropped decisions to Fayet teville State and Shaw. Hampton is leading the .. Ihem division with an impressive 8-3 record. Ii would appear, then, that Fitch's team will i.ave to win threè of their last four encounters. 1 hey must also pray for Shaw to lose three of "heir last five. smith can also hope for Livingstone to lose its in ' final two games. HERE AND THERE fc'ver heard of Vivan Greene? She's the diminutive senior guard who is making history at Norfolk State College. One of the top scorers in women's collegiate basketball, Vivan will sur pass the coveted 2,000-point career scoring barrier sometimes this week. She's being hailed as the best thing to hit the Virginia campus since "Pee Weef^ndridfae Wed g"t r.y^ I - ι AT·1** ' J π Wouldn't yô&linow it.'ttfë city of Greensboro is jumping again. The red-hot Aggies of North Carolina Λ&Τ, led by the sensational James The Bird" Sparrow, are back on the win track. a result, look for the annual ME AC Basketball i ournament to take on new dimensions later this month. What price fame? It's about time Carlos Terry, the Winston-Salem great, assumed a popular nickname that's catchy enough to quickly become a household word. Few players of his status are without a spare monickle. How about "The computer." The 6-5 superstar scores and rebounds with such repitity that one needs a calculator to keep track. List this reporter among those who feel that Bill Davis will not leave the comforts of his assistant coach position at South Carolina State ι or the head football coach post at Johnson C. Smith. It's my feelings that the salary and fringe benefits will not be up to the level to attract a ;nan of Bill's stature. Word from Houston, Texas is that former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis is in guod condition and is steadily recovering from surgery to repair a ballooned artery in his chest. Eighteen linemen are among the 28 football players recruited by South Carolina State. The list, released last week, also shows that two local athletes - quarterback Ralph Waymer and defensive tackle John Harvell - have signed with the Bulldogs. Six of the players are from Atlanta, Ga., eight from South Carolina, and seven are from Florida. DERRICK DEWALT ...Independence ace Derrick De Walt "Is Player Of Week" By Chase Vance Post Staff Writer Independence High School center Derrick DeWalt is the kinH of player any coach would like to have on their team. "He has made impressive strides,'' said his head coach Joe Coulter. He has good movement and is a good bas ketball player." DeWalt attended John Tay lor Williams Junior High Scho ol where he was the "most valuable player" in the eighth and ninth grades. His slender 6-4, 175-pound trame is one of the big reasons, the Indepen dence Patroits, who were flirt ing with the bottom of the Local Coaches ' j -«31 léJfcKt odl a;.

Big number 43 has never had to play for the junior varsity. He was on the team last year that won the South western 4-A Conference tourn ament and a spot in the state Dlavoffs "I give one hundred per cent," said DeVValt. I like to hustle and play team ball. You can't win by yourself." Already he is getting letters from some of the major col leges and although it is a little early, he is interested in Eng lish, especially Edgar Allen Poe, studies and psychology career prospects." His most exciting moment came his ninth grade year when "I scored 31 points, junior high championship. To concentrate on upcoming games, he goes for long walks, from his Tryon Hills home to Tryon Mall. At Independence, he is a member of the Monogram Club, the Civitan Club, Psy chology Club and the NAACP. Before a game he comes in early eats some popcorn and gets use to the noise of the crowd. "I hear most of the things the people are saying whether it's good or bad." he said. "But I believe I have to do my best. I am the pep man. One of the players the team looks to to keep us going." he added. The son of Mrs. Barbara DeWalt, 16-year-old Derrick says his highlight so far this season was in a game against Providence Day in which he scored 33 points, his career -high." *) ΙΟ* The Port! H'· Vhaft Happen ing S Bulls' Chances Of Qualifying For CIA A Tournament Waning By Chase Vance Post Staff Writer In discussions of the John son C. Smith-Winston-Salem State game. Coach Jerry Fit ch of the Golden Bulls said he knew his team would have to control the tempo of the game if they expected to w in. "We wanted to slow the ball down, but we missed some chances to score and they got a lead and we had to abandon our plans, he explained.l The best laid plans some times go to waste and for the Bulls, that has been the case for most of the season After starting, impressively with a couple of wins and a close loss to Lenoir Khvne. they have fallen on the brink of no return Their chances of making the CIAA are waning everyday. With Fayetteville State and Winston-Salem already wrao ping up two spots and the Bulls, the Falcons of St. Au gustine's. the Bears of Shaw and the Blue Bears of Living stone fighting it out for the other two. Fdtch had prepared his team by watching North Carolina r Bulls coach A&T beat the Rams 56-40 to give them their first loss of the season and expected to en counter some revenge, but what the Rams unleashed left them down 54-30 at halftime and out of the contest. Fitch admitted that even in despair there is happiness and pointed out that he got good play from Emmet Shipp, Lloyd Gray and Armenous Adams. They gave us great hustle and better movement than our starters," he said. The Bulls have not failed to make the Central Intercolle giate Athletic Conference tournament since 1971 The uphill battle to Hamp ton begins tonight at Fayette ville State where they take on the Broncos, the second place team which has already beat en them Saturday, the Bulls travel to Barber-Scotia in Concord and Monday they go on an extend ed northern road trip to Shaw followed by a game Tuesday in Hampton against the Pi rates.
