DURHAM--Last week, the headlines on the sports page of manv dailv papers In North Carolina read “NORTH CARO LINA CENTRAL PLACED ON PROBATION.’ Os course, this*headline caught the eye of many readers in the state and across this nation for that matter: In the center of the wire story, it was reported that North Carolina Central was placed on a one-year probation for ... Further m the stor\ it was revealed recruiting violations. ruiu,u that Dr. Leroy Walker, track coach at NCCU, was guilt; of rule infractions concerning the recruiting of freshman track star, Charles Foster. In detail the story revealed that Dr. Walker took the then high school track star to the Quantico, Virginia Relays last May 1 at the coach's expense and then to Washington, D. C. to visit Foster’s father, NCAA officials called the placing on NCCU on a one year probation is *a slap on the wrist.” But Walker calls the incident a slap in the wrong place. WHAT BROUGHT THE CLOSE INVESTIGATION'.' Rumors which are almost certain facts were that the Uni versity of South Carolina was the leading figure behind the investigation of the incident against North Carolina Central. But one fact was not revealed to the bus;-bodies at South Carolina that the Incident had been reported by Dr. Walker himself only a few days after the trip to Quantico, in a letter to the NCAA office. South Carolina was the leading figure behind the investi gation because the Gamecocks had lost the battle foi re cruiting the services of the blue chip athlete right in their own backyard to a small Black school in another state. Was it that the coaching staff at the University of South Carolina would find it hard to explain to the alumni at the USC as well as other possible Incoming athletes that they lost the battle for gaining the services of not only one of the most re cruited track performers In the state of South Carolina but also In the nation to a Black school? South Carolina as well as many other colleges and univer sities throughout the nation were after the services of Foster, a high hurdler from Gaffney, S. C. Foster posted a i 3.5 in the 120-yard high hurdle event, the second best in the nation last year. With this ability, of course ail track coaches would like to have had added a feather to their crown in re cruiting Foster. As Is the case in the tattle for the topflight athlete, there is only one Foster. Consequently, only one school could re cruit the blue chip athlete. As the battle was developing for his services, South Carolina felt it was high on the list for obtaining the services of Foster because he was a hometown youngster plus South Carolina has a fairly decent track pro gram. Dr. Walker , who has national and international prestige as a track coach, went after the services of Foster and was able'to get Foster to commit himself even before the trip was made to Virginia. Maybe Walker did not have the ath letic budget to offer Foster as much as South Carolina or some of the other white colleges or universities, but Walker had a reputation for coaching tracksters. This had to be the difference because as Walker said, his entire track budget would be only a drop In the bucket for many colleges and universities. But with his little financial assistance to go along with his long time prestige, Walker was able to obtain the services of Foster. SOUTH CAROLINA DETERMINED TO WIN WAR After the fact was established that Foster had decided to enroll at NCCU, then South Carolina began pushing the in vestigation of the illegal recruitment practices by Walker. South Carolina knew long before now of the trip Foster had taken to Quantico with Walker. But the officials at the Columbia school felt they had a pressuring point in their favor that they could use to persuade Foster to change hts mind. They even so far as to tell Foster that if he went to NCCU he would lose his eligibility because of these illegal recruiting practices. Even at this, Foster held to his de cision to attend North Carolina Central, And once South Carolina found that they could not change the prepster’s mind, they began to push the issue with the NCAA office. In other words South Carolina knew they had lost the battle when Foster was determined to enroll at NCC but they were sure not going to lose the war. And the way to win the ;var was to get NCC’s athletic program investigated and have the Eagles program restricted somewhat. WHAT DOES THE PROBATION MEAN? Many athletic fans were not exactly sure what the penal ty would lie for the Eagles when they read the news storv con cerning the probation. Some may have thought that the Eagles’ program would be hampered by not allowing them to participate in post season contests or restricting the school from winning conference championships or anything of that nature. But this was not the case for NCCU. Os course, NCC ath letic officials feel bad about the probation but at the same time, they are happy that the things were no worse. The only thing the probation means is that the NCC ath letic program will be under observation for a one-year period beginning October 26 of this year and extending through October 26 of next year. During this period, the NCAA will investigate the entire athletic program at NCC. Then, if the; find no faults, NCC will be restored to full membership next October 26, This is why Walker called the probation a slap in the wrong place. With the national attention this matter received, some may be thinking this will hinder the NCC recruiting in years to come. Walker does not think so. Instead, he believes this will help the NCC recruiting program. Maybe some boys who have never heard of NCCU before now know about the school as a result of the probation case. Now ttat the dust has settled over this matter, things are back to normal on the Durham campus. Everybody seems to be happy about the matter with the exception of the University of South Carolina, maybe. Foster is getting in shape to run during the indoor season for the Eagles. Any bowl bids the football team may be offered can be considered by the school's administration and the foot ball staff. If the Eagles are extended a bid to play in a post season game, should they decline, it won’t be because of being on probation. And Walker who has had his name in headlines across the world before now has explained the matter very thoroughly to all concerned, especially the members of the press. So now Dr. Walker can put his proofs tack into his files and keep them for further references should he need them. Perhaps the only tad part about the matter was the numerous calls and attempts made to reach Walker and the athletic administration at NCCU last week when the matter was first reported. To some who thought at first that Walker was a little “Dumb” for the methods he was caught in this event, now know that the old master mind had every proof he needed to back up hts mistakes. So now maybe South Carolina is willing to concede that they have lost the services of Foster to NCCU. The one question than lingers in our mind is had Foster been recruited by one of the white colleges or universities, would South Carolina have pointed the finger at them? This question may never be answered in reality. But there is one thing for certain. A little unheard of pre dominate Black school won the tattle from a big-time athletic program school for the services of one of the nation’s top athletes. So South Carolina might as well accept as fact now that they not only lost the battle, but now the; have also lost the war. P&P TCafPl UAY '■} pi ll k liferia ''' aSp f6 <i§llllll Two Weekend Conference Games Will Decide Divisional Champ §■ The high school football season heads into its final week and the preseason schedule makers evidently knew what they were doing when they made schedules before the season started. Two games are on tap this week in ilie Eastern 4-.\ Divi sion Three and more important two games could have been scheduled at any other time. The divisional title goes down to the wire this week and exact ly who will represent the con ference will not be decided before sometimes late Saturday n ight. Sanderson and Enloe meet Friday night at North Park and Broughton travels to Durham Saturday night to meet Durham Senior. Hillside, the fifth team in the conference, finished its season last week. There are a lot of “ifs, ands, and huts” riding onthedutcome of the two games this weekend. The chances are very good the season will end in a two-way tie. Also there is a possibili ty one team can claim the championship outright. The possibility of a three-way tie is also in order. Should Enloe beat Sanderson and Broughton defeat Durham, then Enloe and Broughton will eiid the season in a tie but Broughton will win the divi sional title as a result of its win over Enloe. Should San derson defeat Enloe and Broughton defeat Durham, then Sanderson and Broughton finish in a tie and Sanderson will be the divisional leader since San derson defeated Broughton dur ing regular reason play. Should Durham Senior defeat Broughton, the winner of the Sanderson-Enloe game will l>e the conference representative. A three-way tie will prevail if Enloe and Sanderson tie each other and Durham and Brough ton tie also. Then the con ference representative will lie decided by a vote of the con ference head coaches. The possibility of all the dif ferent combinations was brought about as a result of action last week in conference play. Durham Hillside sur prised Sanderson, 6-0 in Durham to force the league into a mad scramble for first place honors. Enloe blew hot in tiie third period and went on to defeat Durham Senior, 36-20 at Len Bauer Stadium. The Broughton Caps rolled to a 30-0 non-conference win over Greensboro Dudley last Friday at North Park. Hillside’s Charles Romes broke lose on a 90-yard touch down scamper midway the fourth quarter for the one touch down of the evening in Durham. Otherwise the game was a de fensive tattle between the top team in the conference and the last place team. Jimmy Bass passed for one touchdown and ran for another in the third period to pull the Eagles from a one-point half time deficit to a 28-14 mar gin ofter the third quarter of play. Bass passed 25-yards I o Leo nard Lewis for the first score in the third period and then . . Got ihof berdbet feeling. Pi Mountcan Dew £ !ta*'« « towfc* tftert'H jvtf yv* ws«fe* cH.
