JL Sports Video By EARL MASON Timet Sport J Editor RUSSELL IS FIRST, BUT WHO IS NEXT? Last week in this column, we asked the question how long would it be before there are Negro managers in the major league. We were relating to the appointment of Emmet Ashford to a position as an umpire in the American League to the job of managing of a big league by a Negro. Now with Bill Russell being named as coach of the Boston Celtics, the color line has been broken in the coaching ranks among the professional teams. As the saying goes, the first is always the hardest. Now with the first hurdle being cleared ■xv are wondering if other pro fessional sports will stay in the race or will they consent to let professional basketball have a one man race. Certainly there are other qualified Negroes who could handle professional teams in such sports as football and baseball. Is the professional front office afraid to bestore the prestige and honor upon a Negro that goes along with be ing named coach? Yes Russell was the first of his race to be named to the coaching ranks but who will be next is the question the men in power in the offices of the other profes sional teams must answer. When, ■vcho and in what soort are not the important questions to ask .but the most important •hing is let it be someone. RUSSELL—'DIDNT GIVE COLOR A THOUGHT' When Russell was asked what thought had he given the ques tion of being the first of his race to be named coach of a major professional team he quickly answered "none." The *tar Boston center stated he had given the question much | more thought after being I named coach than he ever did McGibboney Checks Winston-Salem on Two Hit Pitching FAYETTE VILLE Southpaw A 1 McGibboney checked Wins ton-Salem State College on two hits here last Tuesday and led Fayetteville State College to a 6-4 decision cfver the Rams in a CIAA game. McGibboney, in boosting his record to 4-1, struck out 18 W-S batters and walked five. He also hit three for four which included a run-scoring triple. Sam Green added two hits to the cause. McGibboney had a no-hitter going until being touched for a single in the eighth inning by Nat Hudson. Sam Harrison doubled off McGibboney in the ninth. Fayetteville State College stands 7-3 for the season. W-S 000 100 021 4 2 1 Fay. State 001 021 llx 68 4 Coathen, Hall (7) and Carson; McGibboney and Taylor. REEL VETERAN Nestor Paiva, cast as a su perstitious ship's steward in Universal's "Let's Rill Uncle," is a movie veteran in the truest sense of the word. This is his 29th year as an actor—and his 425 th screen role! iA jk 1 I f J i^|C f » a« a SUNDAY. APRIL 17. was prlta I day at Dodger Stadium, with Sandy Kowfax (laft) racalving I during his contemplation over aking the job. Russell said he isd given the race issue no thought in making his decision accepting the job. His primary concern was the team. He said he accepted the job only after deciding that he could do the job as coach and not as Negro. We are quite confident that Kussell will make it "big" in 'he professional ranks because he has the respect of his teammates and the rest of the players around the league. All the players and the coaches in ! the NBA know that when Rus sell takes the floor he means ' business But off the floor he ! is as well liked by players, friend and foe alike. As Red Auerback said about Russell, "he has the potential and know ho'* of the game to be a coach." After all Russell is no Strang er to basketball. But his ability j to play basketball does not | have any bearing on his coach- j ing techniques. Now that Rus- I sell is coach he has to take a j little different attitude toward j the players. The players must j be willing to adjust to Russell j techniques. No two people are j alike and Russell and Auer back will be no exception. Rus sell will do things that Auer back did not do and visa versa. But we feel that Russell and the players can make the change causing Russell's job to be easy. • WSSC Baseball Team Given Dozen Bats WINSTON-SALEM Mem bers of the baseball team at | Winston-Salem State College should not find it too difficulty these days to select a suitable bat when they step up to the batter's bo*. Last week John B. Caldwell, an alumnus of the college and shortstop on the college's 1914 baseball team, presented the team with a dor en Louisville Slugger baseball bats and a bat bag. Caldwell, an ardent baseball fan and a loyal supporter of the college, made the presen tation during the midweek as sembly. He was accompanied by Odell Clanton, a teammate and catcher of the 1914 teqm and Miss Carol Martin, a junior at the college and a native of Madison, Cardwell's native | I home, who arranged for the presentation. Canfrwell and Clanton, both of whom are retired and who live near the college, spoke briefly to the students. Since they have been in close prox imity to the school since grad- I uation, they spoke first-hand of the many changes which have taken place through the years in athletics and campus life. William Farrow, captain of the present baseball team, ac cepted the bats on behalf of the team and the college and thanked the donor. "I hope that there are many hits in these bats," he said in his con cluding remarks. Winston-Salem State is fleld i ing a baseball team this season i for the first time in over five years. HM Cy Young Award from Commiwionor Bckort and Jim Spring Sport Teams Gain Pair Wins at Home Hillside High's baseball and track teams posted a pair of •vins at home last week to re ■na'n undefeated in NCHSAC action. The Hornets' baseball tjam defeated Henderson In s'itute-8-5 Tuesday and downed Pittsboro's Horton 9-3 last Thursday to bring their record to' 5-0 for the year. The Hill side cindermen **on a dual meet over Little River Wednes -1 day and came out on top in a tringular meet Saturday over Dudley and William Penn. Coach Willie Bradshaw's nine had to overcome a four run ! first inning by Henderson for i its fourth win. Henderson pushed across four runs with only one hit and three errors by Hillside. The Hornets man aged to tie the score at 4-4 scoring one run in the second /rame and three more in the j third stanza. A pair of tallies | in the fourth and sixth innings was enough for Hillside to j coast to victory. Dwyaine Davis, who picked ! up his second win of the cam paign, needed help from John ny Steele in the fifth inning. Steele pitched hitless ball for the last two and 1/3 innings. John Poole, Richard Davis and Dennis Smith drove in two runs apiece to lead the offensive attack. In the game against Horton, Hillside scored five runs in the second inning and coasted to a win over the Thunderbolts. Richard Davis and Ronald Bry ant were the batting heroes. Davis drove in two runs with a pair of singles and a home run. Bryant also drove in a pair of runs with a couple of singles. Coach Russell Blunt's thin clads had a rather easy win in the dual meet over Little Riv er. Tony Ford won the 100 and 220 yards to highlight the win. Ford won the 100 in 10.4 and the 220 in 23.8. In a girl's meet between the same two schools, the Hillside ( Lassies sparked by Barbara Al stoh,—defeated Little River 29- 21. Alston won the broad jump, high jump, 50, 100 and ran the anchor leg on the winning onfe lap relay team. The score indicates the close ness on the triangular meet Saturday. Hillside collected 58 1/2 points, William Penn 50 1/2 and Dudley 49. Again Ford was a double winner for the Hornets. Ford won the 120 yard high hurdles and the 180 low hurdles. He was clocked in 16.1 in the highs, 21.1 in the lows and ran the lead off leg on the winning mile relay team. SHAW UNIVERSITY BEARS WIN j FROM HOWARD UNIV. BISONS 10-1 RALEIGH Shaw Univer sity's Beers upped their sea son's mark to nine triumphs without a defeat last ■week, getting two wins by knocking off Howard University 10-1 on home soil and Winston-Salem State 10-7 at Bowman-Gray Field in Winston-Salem.
