TELLING IT LIKE IT REALLY IS! .
There is nothing like a new ache or pain to make vou nav
an old doctor’s bill! 3
The excitement continues to build as the CIAA football
championship race winds down to the final week of play
Neither division race has been settled, but two teams in
each division have a chance to capture the coveted crown
Norfolk State won last fall.
Hampton and Norfolk State are in the running for the
northern division title, and it looks as if Hampton will
become the eventual winner. The Pirates have the
advantage. They must defeat lowly St. Paul’s this
Saturday and Virginia State, which is just a rung higher at
the bottom of the division standings, 8 week from
Saturday. In the meantime, Norfolk State must defeat
Virginia State this week and then sit idly on the sidelines
waiting for the “unexpected.” If Hampton should lose one
of its final two contests and Norfolk State defeats Virginia
State, the Spartans would be the winner.
The only thing certain about the Southern Division race
is Winston-Salem State and Livingstone will go head
and-head for the title a week from Saturday in Salisbury
Livingstone will engage Bowie State, which has dropped 19
consecutive decisions, Saturday in what should be an easy
victory and Winston-Salem will face Elizabeth City in a ;
game in which the outcome will not count in the division.
My guess is that if Winston-Salem defeats Livingstone
the league’s championship contest will be held in Winston
Salem. Should Norfolk State win, however, the league title
game will be played in Norfolk, Va. If the championship
contest matches Livingstone with Hampton the Pirates
would be the host team.
nememper tne name Earl "Air” Harvey! He’s the 6’3”
195-pound youngster who will lead the Eagles of North
Carolina Central against Johnson C. Smith’s Improving
Golden Bulls In the homecoming attraction here Saturday
afternoon. A native of Fayetteville, Harvey has added new
chapters to the NCCU Record Books. He’s only the second
passer In CIAA history to throw for 2,000 yards in a season.
Harvey gunned down defenseless Bowie State last week
with a scintillating performance which included throwing
for 345 yards In a little more than two quarters of action.
The gifted freshman established a new NCAA Division II
freshman passing single season record with 2,424 yards in
eight contests. He also set the freshman NCAA Division II
mark for total offense with 2,315 yards.
He has passed for 300 or more yards in six outings this
season.
Delaware State’s All-American candidate defensive end
Dan Candeloro has earned the respect of his opponents.
The 6-foot, 280-pounder has recorded 60 solo tackles, four
quarterback sacks and has recovered four fumbles.
Hie Hornets’ wide receiver John Taylor is also-receiving -
well-deserved rave notices. The versatile Mr. Baylor has
caught 28 passes for 632 yards, scored eight touchdowns,
churned out 106 yards with only nine carries, and has
returned 10 kickoffs for 174 yards.
Glen George, the senior quarterback who has fueled
Livingstone to a threatening position in the CIAA south
race, is out for the season.
Some words of advice to the NFL teams on the Chicago
Bears football schedule. If you’re entertaining hopes of
beating Mike Ditka’s juggernaut, you’d better work them
over "thoroughly” in the first half. Records show the
Bears have outscored their enemies, 110-28 in the final two
quarters. They have been devastating in the third
quarters, outscoring their foes, 65.7.
Did you know that the owners of major league baseball
teams are currently paying over $50 million to players no
longer in baseball? Look for the long-term contracts to be
reduced to a maximum of two or three years period before
the 1986 season gets under way.
Athletes and academics? In my opinion, we should stop
totally blaming colleges and universities because their
athletes’ graduation rate is abominal. I believe some of the
responsibilities should be placed upon the athletes. I’m
thinking of the ones who do not go to class, or don’t take
legitimate courses or don’t care if they graduate as long as
they get drafted by the pros.
Also, ask yourself who suffers the most if free-spending
alumni and friends of the universities stop handing out
dollar bills to the athletes in honest, genuine appreciation
for their contributions?
Reports are the Washington Bullets’ 7-foot-7 rookie
Manute Bol is so skinny his pajamas have only one
pinstripe.
^ wouia you oeiieve the New York Yankees have had nine
different field managers in the last four years?
i The New York Yankees have entered the bidding for the
services of free agent pitcher Donnie Moore. My guess is
that the California Angels will resign their ace reliefer to a
lucrative, multi-year pact. Either way the young man who
blossomed as one of baseball’s top relief pitchers in the
last two years will become a very wealthy man.
Kansas City owner Avron Fogebnan is reportedly
preparing real estate and life-time contract offers for
Detroit free agent outfielder Kirk Gibson.
North Carolina Central owns three of the CIAA’s top five
receivers. Junior wide receiver Robert Clark leads the
conference receivers with 66 catches which he has toted
for 1,021 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s averaging 5.8
catches per contest. Charlotte native Robert Green is
second among the Eagles and third in the CIAA with 36
receptions for 590 yards. He has scored one TD. Tightend
Terrence McNeil has grabbed 34 pitches for 600 yards and
four touchdowns.
Twenty-two Charlotte athletes will line up against the
Golden Bulls here Saturday afternoon. That’s the number
listed on NCCU squad roster. The Bulls list four native
ions on their roster.
That’s another reason why you should join the crusade to
develop a foundation to support Johnson C. Smith
athletics. Your dollars are the only way Johnsoo C.
Smith’s athletic program is going to improve to the level of
competition of most of the teams on its schedule.

^ , At t „ „ _ _t first
practice sepaTan, James Shockley
said that be felt the Golden Bulls
could have an exciting season this
year.
“I believe that we have enough
good people to de weM in the CIAA,"
he said. "We will just have to work
hard and prove thaf^ire can do it.”
Indeed the.Bubs have the talent.
But Shoddeydld not allude to one
of the big reasons the Golden Bulls
are being looked at as as serious
contender. That big reasons is his
six feet and IO> pounds of agility and

THE HOUSE” when the season
begins.
This young man if not a newcom

led the entire sfikte.of New Jersey
during his high school career at
Camden’s Penn Te*h High School
and was named tt> the South
Jersey All-Star team.
Indeed, his oustanding game in
high school resulted in 49 points and
his outstanding game in college
resulted in 23 points.
There will not be much shock to
the CIAA opponents because the
senior Communications major is
well known On the Interstate High
way circuit as a hot number when
the baskets come down and the
lights go up.
In 1985-86 In keeping with the new
Golden Bull image, he intends to set
Brayboy on fire with the blistering
shots that he can hit from down

Last year, he was named to the All

is no short accomplishment. He

Houston: -Our Year Has Been Going Great”
By James Cuthbertson
Post Sports Writer
"Our year has been going great,"
said Harding quarterback Anthony
Houston in an understatement.
Anthony is affectionately called
the "Lizard” by his friends be
cause of the way he slithers away
from opposing tacklers and
creates havoc for the defensive lines
of other squads in the Tri-County
Conference.
It helps tremendously to have a
great line,” he said. “The line
consists of center Alan Jenkins,
right guard Billy Winchester, right
. tackle Todd Lynch, left tackle Sam
Pressley and left guard Raymond
Crenshaw.
“I knew before the season began
that we could possibly go unbeaten,
but now it looks like we may
i—— *—:— ——-:-g- ■ .
finally reach that goal,” he said.
Before the season began the team
met and decided to dedicate the
season to Carl Williams, an out
standing Harding offensive and de
fensive lineman, who died in a freak
accident at the East-West All-Star
game when he drowned in the hotel
swimming pool the night before the
game in which he was to star.
“I knew we had the talent," said
Houston. "We felt if we really
practiced hard we could have a good
year.
The Harding teams is destined to
finish in first place in the Tri
County 4A and will play either
Winston-Salem Parkland, Kannapo
lis Brown or South Rowan in the first
round at Harding.
The eleventh grader has passed
for 1,173 yards at a 45 percent clip,
completing 80 of 176 passes with only
nine interceptions.
The “Player of the Week” has run
three touchdowns.
In his last week's game, ne threw
for two touchdowns of 10 and 45 |
yards to his favorite receivers
Kenny Stevenson and Tony Little to
ice the game for the Rams and give !
them the number one seed from the
Tri-County 4A Conference.
r naay, Harding takes on East
Gaston and Houston says they are [
not taking them lightly.
"We will go out there and take
them like any other team,” he said.
“That has been the secret of our |
season. We take it game by game.” j
Coach Tommy Knotts has helped
him by staying on him and making
him play better.
BEFORE THE MASTERPIECE there is a side of a great j
sculptor few people see. IPs those long, time-consuming
hours that go into crafting each and every feature until it 9
pleases his toughest critic... himself. 9
l his is also the spirit which thrives at Jack Daniel’s.
Before weran hope to please you, we first must please
ourselves. That’s why we take the extra time to
charcoal mellow our whiskey the slow, old Tennessee
way, drop-by-drop.
bo when you try our Jack Daniel's whiskey,
you'll find that like a great sculptor's finished
