four Letters to the ^^Coach” Dear Coach, Just what does this Muhammad Ali guy think he is, a legend or something.. He knows he’s over the hill and this Spinks fellow is just the person to shove him over. After all, youth, strength, quickj hands and a good knockout punch woul^ be all a person needed to show him up. ^ Signed, Somewhere in Itlay George Foreman Women^s Basketball Team Improving JOHANNA M. BOXMAN Z Although their record of 0- 11 doesn’t show it, the Lady Knights have made a lot of improvements this season. Sarah Wells and Chairman Clifford have both improved dramatically. In the last two games the Knights have played, Sarah has averaged 12% pts. and 10 rebounds. Charmian has been playing very aggressive defense, getting steals and some defensive rebounds — and at 5’0” that’s quite an ac complishment!

The first shot came when eller hit an eight-footer from the baseline to tie the game at the end of regulation time 78- 78. The second came on a driving lay-up by , Jones with three seconds left in the contest. He was also fouled and then preceeded to salt away the game by knocking in a free throw, making the final score 83-80. This ended a fine performance at the charity stripe for the evening, as the Knights went 15 for 16. Leading Leading scorers were Paul Kowall with 24 points and Mike Cestrone with 18, also hitting 6 of 6 from the line. Contributing solid efforts were Andy Jones with 3 and Cliff wards, Margie Scott and Harnett Howard have all returned from their Winter Tern courses—these players will help add depth to the Knight’s bench. The Knights have been fighting a battle against flu and injury this term, also. Warra Foster was injured at N.C. Wesleyan last Thursday night (that was the 2nd time Warra has been injured there in two trips) and has been out for three games, but she will return tonight and play sparingly for the rest of the season. The Knights have three games remaining in the season, two of which are at home. I would like to urge you to come and support our girls.

POW’s Still Being Held years in a POW camp. Since his return in 1972, he has been actively working for a full accounting of the 712 Americans listed as missing in action. “At first, I thought there could be no more than five or six men still behind held. But after talking with this refugee, I think there could be more. This could mushroom into something really big. “The thing that bothers me the most is that the govern ment says that it questions every refugee coming into the country about the possibility of POWs still behind held. This man says he was never asked that question.” Schrump opposes the United Stetes giving economic aid to Vietnam without an ac counting of the MIAs. He hopes to use the refugee’s statements to discredit President Carter’s efforts. A State Department official said he knew nothing of Schrump’s story. “Nobody has said anything about it to me,” said Warren Magruder, public affairs adviser for the East Far East. “We are making every effort to account for those listed as missing in action. We do ask every refugee coming into this country if he knows of any POWs or MIAs still in Vietnam.” Schrump has turned his information about the rfugee oer to Helms and Rep. Ben jamin Gihnan, R. N.Y., both of whom have been presding for a full accounting of the MIAs. “Ray called me and told me the story,” Clint Fuller, ad ministrative assistant to Helms said. “He is sending a tape of the meeting he had with the refugee. We’ll feed it through a polygraph machine to determine if the man i telling the truth, but we don’t have any reason to believe otherwise.” Schrump hopes to set up a conference with the refugee. Helms, Gilman and a representative from the State Department. Gilman served on the House Select Conunittee on Missing Persons in Southeast Asisa, organized in 1975. The 10 members of the committee heard testimony from nearly 50 military officials, former POWs and MIA families. The committee decided that there was no evidence that Americans still are being held in Southeast Asia. Four of the members dissented from the opinion, however. “When the committee closed up shop in December 1976, Ben felt there was a lot more work to be done,” said Joe Southerland, assistant to Gilman. “He is excited about the refugee’s story.” Helms has introduced several bills in the Senate calling for a further in vestigation of the MIAs, Fuller said. “But so far, we haven’t had much luck. This story could lead to something big.” o o • ■ • I
