The Coach's Corner By Kern Johnson THE OILERS' LOSS TO THE REDSKINS Coach Jack Pardee cut lan Howfidd for missing a fiddgoal that would have won the game for the Oilers on Monday night's game of the week, televised by ABC. The Oilers lost 16-13 in over time. Apparently Pardee, along with many kickers don't use the Lou Groza example of the straight "hinge-kicking" method that was so consistent over so many years for Clevdand. It only stands to reason when the kicker stands off to one side, he risks over swing ing thus causing the ball to pull off-line and missing as did lan Howfidd and losing his job. I cringe every time I see a kicker stan ding off to one side. It is an invitation to a "oull or pushed off kick." A mistake that can be avoided by the "straight on hinging knee kick" used by Lou Groza so successfully for years. The last bit of tension willc ause teh kicker to "block out" and turn his right hip back thus causing the pull and the "old fashioned" hinge kick is much more reliable, just because a guy played soccer is no guarantee his swinging fromthe sidds the best method because it isn't and Pardee should know this. What they should do is have Howfidd kick 100 hinge kicks and 100 swing kicks and just see (hat the "hinge kick" is more reliable and consistent than the "hip swing kick." Pardee and Howfidd in my mind wake up with 20-20 hind vision. They should use the Lou Groza example. Experience is a "hard-teacher," but firing Howfidd is not the answer as they could get another swing kicker. He too could tighten up with the pressure fail to turn his right hip back, "block out" and lose his job, instead of using the "right mechanics" of the straight on hinge kick and keeping his head down. You can do the same thing in golf when your head comes up, you pull your shot. ^ rT* y "Tr r ~T~ Anr* n.*ir*r *!? f ?'rATarA'V nrrVmr^ F i -Irn *Tn fl rfrArltH*Y n rrr nrr r f Cong^JpLt tf/? o& Lion *D\ait I Isjp 2ii. JSt+m D(*U&, ?P?f^ ???*?? tfnlnl One of the Mat important people in the Malory of tMa itgiM to a man whose name la not familiar. School children are not taught ahoot him. There la no "Day" to mark Ma name. And perhape that's just as WCfl. He b important becanaa ha founded a colony not too tar from here (rifektly more than 100 ndles) dxty yeara before the tabled "Loet Col ony" of John White. He ia unfamiliar because he happened to be Spanish. If the Spaniards had outlasted the Lavish in their attempt to hoM onto what b now the Caroliaas, Ms name would be more familiar to ua now than are the names of John White and Walter Raleigh. That man was Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon (pronounced eye-yonn). AyUoa was an official in the government of of Hispaniola, the Carib bean bland governed by Diego Columbus, aoa of Christopher. In 1520 Ayllon sent one Captain GordMo out of the Caribbean in search of a suitable place for the establishment of a Spanish colony in North America. Gordillo didn't accomplish Ms mission, hut he did return to Hispaniola with seventy Native American slaves. Only one name would be recorded from among these Native Americans, that of "Chicoraaa" (which in Spanish means "one from Chicora," and wMch suggests that he was a member of the Chicora Nation, Eastern Siouaa allies of the Cberaw, Catawba, and Occaneechi). Aytloa took Chicoraaa back to Spain with Mm. After meeting with the Mag, Ayllon was commiaskMKd to return to North America and build a colony. He set off with six sMps, 900 Spanish men and women, 100 Africans (slaves), about SO horses, and 3 Dominican nris donaries (pins sailors and a few other Indian "interpreters"). But by the tiaee they got to their destination they had lost oaeof the ships, and CMcoraaa (and the other "interpreters") had slipped Into the forest of the Carolina lowcousttry. The coloay was la Jaae of ISM, at the SMWth of a "great rim" aow accepted by scholars to be dther the Peeriee or Me KNKSrS to*owlbVi^t o*tMl'lS^iocatloB ta?aMdi doeer to the land eloog the Roboeoa Mi tbaa Roaaoke Uaafi "Loot Coloay." i AyHoa named his coloay "Saa Mlgad de Gaaidape" Bat the cal* oay did aot hat long. Native Aasericans of the region hod flfland aat what the Spaaish had ia mi ad, follow! ag their experience with the / slave trader Captaia Gordillp^ They stayed away from "San Migud" as much as possible. They were apparently unwilling to feed and care for the Spaniards. As winter approached, Spaniards began to die from starvation. Deadly fighting amongst the colonists erupted. Some kind of epidemic, possibly malaria or cholera, also struck the colonists. Before October was over, Ayllofi was dead of the fever. In November, the Africans revolted, reportedy assisted by Native American war riors. The 150 Spaniards who remained alive gave up "San Migud," and sailed for the Caribbean. We may never know just how much impact Ayllon had on the Native Americans of the region. But it is dear that he had a very ear ly. and thus very important, impact. For with him he doubtless carried the micro-organisms which would cause epidemics among the Indians, and which would decimate whole Nations long before the English and Scots began writing down which Indians lived where along the Robeson Trail.
