Looks To Surpass Vince Mathews’ Mark

Errol Davis Blisters Cinders In Near-Record Time
TELLING IT LIKE IT RDALLY IS!
A fanatic is simply ai individual who
knows that he’s right! '
This is the weekend whei amateur golfers
in the Charlotte area plish their clubs,
reread the rules, neglectto wash the car,
and head for tough ttrrains at Paw-
tuckett Golf Course.
It’s the weekend of tie Eighth Annual
4-Ball Golf Tournament, sponsored by the
Par-Busters Golf Group. lonald Littlejohn,
the athletic director at Cochrane Junior
■ High School who coache track and foot
ball, has been a winner of his popular event
: annually since 1978. He md southpaw Phil
Neely captured the title inl981 and ’82. The
former Johnson C. Siilth quarterback
teamed with Haywood Steenson to win the
crown three straight year, from 1978.
Littlejohn and his partier will again be
heavily favored this weekind.
The tournament, whict annually opens
the golf tournament seasorfor blacks in the
area, will have an entraire fee of $30 per
: person, including green fe^ “closest-to-the-
hole” contest and a socialhour. The social
■ - hour will be held Saturdy night at the
Par-Buster Club House i 1901 Freedom

NEITHER HERE NOR "HERE
How about this one: Macus Dupree has
an unusual clause in his ontract with the
New Orleans Breakers tha guarantees him
a substantial bonus if he graduates from
. college in 10 years!
My two cents worth is tha Hank Ford, the
:: gentleman who coaches basketball at
Hampton, is one of the best oaches in small
- college basketball and biglohn Thompson
: is the best coach in majr college bas
ketball. Thompson endeaiid himself with
sports fans the world over tis past weekend
,: when he led his Georgetow quintet to the
NCAA Championship. He duld possibly be
at the helm of one of the grater teams ever
' in college basketball.
Did you know that th ACC, which
.extended its TV contractwith Raycom
,|;hrough the 1989-90 season led all college
conferences in TV ratings 1st season?
Or that the Cl A A has soli all seats to the
.semis and the finals of i^ last six tour
naments? i
Here’s an idea to be kiclid around: The
J4CAA Tournament Comnittee would do
itself justice if they would iblude the CIAA
, Tournament champion ir their 64-team
tourney next year. St. Aiustine’s which
^finished second to Norfolk pate in the 1984
Division H tournament, yoved that the
' so-called small college t^ms have pro-
!gressed to the point where ibstdf them can
compete with all teams in bsketball.
Let’s give it some though!
Norman Roscoe, the seror point guard
who ran the St. Augustie’s offense so
' effectively, is being watchd closely by the
Cleveland Cavaliers. He’s oe of six seniors
bn the Falcon team that wet all the way to
the NCAA Division II charpionship finals
before bowing to Central Missouri State,
81-77.
Grambling State Universiy, which plays
South Carolina State in O^ngeburg next
October 10, has schedule seven of its
football games away from bme next fall.
Why?
“We travel a lot because have to make
money for the program,’’informed long
time coach Eddie Robinsoi who has won
313 contests while losing ory 102 and tying
15 in one of college football, most brilliant
coaching careers.

! Robinson’s crew will visitsuch far away
; places as New York Cif, Dallas and

Olympic’s passing whiz^obby Junior
has joined Mark Workman  Myers Park at
Winston-Salem State. Thf two Charlotte
freshmen will battle for other rookie
prospects for the quarterbck slot with the
Rams.
Hampton’s great tennis quad, which has
won 11 of its first 16 mtches, has put
together a string of 84 strfght victories in
the CIAA since 1968.

“I believe in being npredictable,”

Taik about fast starts!
Freshman Errol Davis, in
his first outdoor effort for
the Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity track team in the
400 meter run, blistered the
cinders in a 45.7 time. That
is one-tenth of a second
slower than the school re
cord of 45.6 set by Vince
Mathews in 1967. Mathews
went on to earn gold me
dals in the 1968 and 1972
Olympics in the mile relay
and the 400 meter run.
“Erroll’s time at the
Georgia Relays raised a
few eyebrows,” remarked
Smith track coach Kenny
Powell, “As the season
progresses, it seems a sure
bet that he’ll clip Vine’s old
mark.”
That will place young
Mr. Davis in a group of
potential world class
quarter milers. Errol also

runs the 800 meter run. Not
far behind him is his
cousin, freshman Donald
Davis, also of Jamaica.
Donald runs the quarter
mile in under 47 seconds
and competes in the 200
meter dash.
It could be a banner year
for several Smith track
records to tali. Senior An
thony Sullivan owns the
record for the 800 meter
run with a 1:51 time last
year. The Philadelphia,
Pa., native ran 1:52 earlier
and is capable of going
under 1:50. One of the
oldest records is thfe shot-
put mark, where Billy
Corbett’s 54’ still stands.
Sophomore John Logan, a
second team All-CIAA
noseguard, tossed tor 50’2”
last Saturday.
“Logan is 6” shorter
than Corbett was, but he
has tremendous strength,”
pointed out assistant coach
Tommy Poindexter.
Joining the Davis cousins
on the 1600 meter (mile)
relay team are senior John
Jaudon of Phildelphia and
Anthony Sullivan, The
school mark is 3:08. At the
Georgia Relays, the quad
posted a 3:11 time.
“That’s faster than any
thing we’ve run in the last
tour years,” noted Powell.
“It’s so early in the sea
son. I really expect that
those four will make a se
rious run at that mark.”
Freshman Cynthia Fife
of Richmqi^Va,, has pro
vided toj^g^petition for
sophomorff Jessica Fergu
son in the 100 meter sprint
and the hurdles. Both are
standout versatile ath
letes who compete in the 60
and 100 meter sprints, the
hurdles, high jump and
long jump. Junior Diane
Thomas of Long Island,
N.Y., provides long dis
tance strength as the wo
men finished third in the
CIAA cross country and
indoor meets, despite field
ing a small team.
Johnson C. Smith will be
participating in the David
son Relays Saturday at
Davidson College. The
JCSU Invitational will be
moved to May 5 as the
CIAA outdoor meet will be
held on April 25-26 at V/in-

Hove You
Read Any Good
Sidewalls lately?
Maybe you didn't realize it,
but there’s a lot of good infor
mation on the sidewall of
your tires.
The sidewall tells you the
maximum inflation pressure
recommended. The number
of body plies used. The kind
of cord. And more.
But most important, it tells
you the brand name. That's
especially critical, since all
tires look so much alike —on
the outside.
Next time you read a sidewall,
look for the name Goodyear.
It’s a brand name you can
trust for sure.
