WILLIAMS ELIZABETH CITY - John ny Walton, All - CIAA quar terback of the Elizabeth Ci ty state College Vikings, was signed by pro - scout, Paul "Tank” Younger, of the Los Angeles Rames football team, as a quarterback last week. Younger, in signing Walton as a free agent, stated, "Al though we have other quarter backs with experience, we are signing Johnny only asa‘‘quar terback." We have seen him in action, and we feel that he can develop into a star per former for our football team." The Rams, in signing Walton, became the first team in the NFL to sign a black quarter back as a quarterback from a pro - dominantly Black Col lege. Younger hastens to add that, "We didn’t sign him just tc say that we have one, but Walton’s demonstrated ability to throw the long and short pas ses accurately as a quarter back was developed at ECSC in the promold. That is our only reason for signing him.’’ The Rams, in following Wal ton’s development as a quarter back, took note of his perform ances. Younger stated that, "Johnny brings with him an amazing statistical record, despite his having piloted an offensively "conservative’’ team at ECSC which balances the runn in g and passing games," In recalling a recent game, the pro - scout remarked, "Es pecially was Johnny’s perform ance superb in the East - West Shrine Bowl Game at Raleigh, in which he tossed two TD passes in six minutes, and the two incompleted passes, though dropped by the receivers, were on target.” Walton was select ed as the game’s outstanding of fensive player. Prior to the signing, the Rams were surprised when they were informed by Coach Tom Cald well that his trusted-arm and cool ball handler, Johnny Wal ton. had not been signed. "This young man from Elizabeth Ci ty’s P. W, Moore High School and State College surely mer its the chance to play in the NFL,” Younger felt. He continued by reminding, however, that, "Whether Wal ton makes it or not will de pend upon his desire to play with Site greatest of all the football players in the world, the pros.’’ "We will give Walton every chance to prove himself, with the hope that the guidance ol our coaching staff will enable Johnny to eventually justify our faith in him," Younger assured. Coach Caldwell stated that, <r VVe were quite fortunate at Elizabeth City State College to recruit Johnny, and, in our small way were able to bring him along slowly, but definitely, with a career in professional football in mind for him." Walton, a quiet, soft - spok en, and modest individual, re marked, "I have always wanted the opportunity to play in the NFL, We go first-class at E lizabeth City State College and, I have heard that this is also the case in the NFL. I owe a Jot of credit to a lot of people but, most of all, 1 owe this great opportunity to ECSC, my teammates, and the dedicated coaching staff." Thus, as the racial barriers fall, this is certainly a dream come true for the lanky, 6-2, 185 - pound Walton. Elv in Hayes' Shot A ids Team Win SAN DIEGO - A daring feat of hitting an 18-foot bank shot at the buzzer here Friday night gave the San Diego Rockets a 114-112 ylctory over the At lanta Haw'ks. The man who made the shot was Elvin Hayes. This move tied the National Basket ball Association’s Western Di vision semi-fin. . playoff series at two games each. Hayes’ desperation shot came after Atlanta’s Joe Caldwell knotted the score wills a stuff shot with two seconds left on the clock. The Rockets and Hawks play the fifth game of the best of seven series Sunday in Atlanta. Hayes scored 30 points to lead the Rockets, while Walt Haz,- zard’s 34 points kept Atlanta in front most of the first half and part of the second in the see - saw battle. Hayes was aided by another Rocket rookie, Rick Adelman, in the final minute of play. Adelman thrilled the crowd of 12,237 with a twisting lay up, then hit two free throws second later to put the Rock ets ahead before the Hawks’ Caldwell nearly won it for At lanta. Rocket forward John Block, who came off the bench to lead the Rockets to their first vic tory Tuesday night, had a 12 point second quarter as San Diego wiped out a ten point Atlanta lead in the first half. The Rockets enjoyed thetr biggest lead - 12 points - after fO’T minutes of the fourth, quar ter on baskets by pat Riley, Stulantz, Toby Kimball and a three point play by Hayes, (3% invites y®s te... ||j i EE OFF WITH OUR ANNUAL I FABULOUS ONE WEEK ONLY! § r 1 ill i ¥?
