(UPI Telephoto) It's true that Norfolk State lost two aces in jumping jack, Clarence Burney and sharpshooter Essex Thompson, but Coach Ernie Fears still has the fastest guns in the league, including hook shot artist Jim Grant back for his senior year. This is the junior year for play maker Tommy Long, Charles Bona parte and lanky Bobby Dandridge, who already has the pro's eyes. Add 6-6 center Johnny to this trio and the Spartans' foes are in for another rough year. Both Dan dridge and McKinney averaged nearly 17 points per game last sea son. Elizabeth City's Bobby Vaug han summed up the plight he's in, "We might have improved, bat so has ever body else." The Vikings have All-CIA A guard Freddie Lewis, 6-7 Oscar Smith, Ray Belfield and Israel Oli ver to build around. Mike Gale, a jump shooting transfer, will add to the Vikings' firepower. Howard's hopes rest on 6-6 cen ter Karl Hodge, and back court aces Frank Williams and Ed Taylor, but the big problem will be lack of depth. Delaware State, after a surpri singly poor season last year could rebound, and finish among the top eight teams. All-CIAA, Ronald I Horton can make the difference. | Johnson C.

"The only thing I can say is that ; we are older and more experien- j ced," boasts Hampton Institute's I Ike Moore head. "We're better shots ' because we couldn't shoot so well | last year." Wilbur Allen, Horatie Wilker- , son, Jim Anderson and Bob Kome- I gay, four Pirate starters are back. j Moorehead is certain that trans fer student Herbert Moore will beff up his offenae. Several darichorses in the CIAA ; may add to this season's mad scramble. ■ North Carolina College, led by Eagles Soar to Overtime Victory Over Virginia State Trojans North Carolina College scored six points in an overtime pe riod and hung on to a 68-66 victory over the Virginia State College Trojans here Saturday night in the R.

Coaeh George Allen of tho -Los Angeles Rams has been saying: "We've got to do it ourselves. We can't depend on anyone else doing it for us.'' So the Rams head into another ultra-crucial game here Saturday with the world champion Green Bay Ppekers, a contest which will be televis ed nationally Los Angeles must win or forget abo'' f . a division, con ference or c'l'ir-'csh 1 ". At least that is the sound reasoning of Allen and the Rams because nonr l of expect a miracle from the New Orleans Saints in then visit Sunday to Baltimore to play the unbeaten Colts, who are one game in front of the Rams in the Coastal Division. Green Bay has already nail ed down the top spot in the Central Division and is set io meet either Baltimore or the Rams at Milwaukee Dec. 2-5 for the Western Conference ti tle. A Ram victory over Green Bay would then bring the division struggle right co.-n to the final game of the regular season with Johnny Unitas and the Colts here Dec. 17.
