'T atrPworking now to see if I can get ready for Saturday's Penn Relays." Bethea figures that he would have his best chance in the discus. His best throw in that event this season is 174'8, but he has thrown 178'2. Last Sat urday he heaved the shot 56'8, below the 60'2 he had done. While waiting around for more contract talks with Hous ton, Bethea has managed to re main undefeated in both events this season. "Even though it's real excit ing, I always took ckrack as something on the side," said Bethea. "I concentrated on football because I knew there would be a chance to earn a living in that sport." At 6-4, 255, Bethea brings a lot of power to his track tasks. He brought impressive creden tials to A&T from Trenton, N. J. High School, where he was named to the high school All- America track team Bethea won the shot and dis cus his first two years at A&T and in 1966 he was named to the NAIA's All-America team. He did not compete for the Ag .gies in track last season. Never satisfied with a per formance, Bethea is by far his worst critic. "There is some thing that I am still not doing right," he said. "I have more strength than ever, but there is something wrong." The lack of an ambitious track schedule by A&T is one thing that Bethea figures is hurting him. "Most of the time, I don't really have any compe tition," added Bethea I just need to get out of the state more into the big meets." , ■ Following his appearance in the Penn Belays, Bethea will compete in the CIAA Belays in Petersburg. Then he will be eligible for the NAIA and NCAA College Division meets, and possibly Olympic tryouts. That is if Houston hasn't stepped in and removed hi« name from track altogether. Is there a better way to do things this year? You bet there is. Hire young workers tor summer jobs. They can do a lot for you and tor your communi ty.

Carl Hubbard's Booming Bat Paces A&T in Baseball Race GREENSBORO - Paced by the blazing bats of centerfield er Carl Hubbard and shortstop Lioyd Lightfoot, A&T State University whipped three CIAA baseball foes the past weekend to remain in the thick of the race for the conference title. The Aggies beat Delaware State, 13-7 Fayetteville State, 14-4 and Howard, 9-4 to up their season record to 7 - 2. A&T has now won five games in a row. At 5-10, 175 pounds, Hub- bard has proved to be a giant in A&T's batting attack. He pounded out eight hits in 12 times at bat in the three games, including a four for four effort against the Broncos. The fine performance boost ed Hubbard's average to .500, tops in the Aggie camp. "Carl is a natural athlete," said a happy A&T Coach Mel Groom es. "Thftfs the story of his suc cess. He has all of the confi dence in the world." A native of Danville, Vir ginia, Hubbard has also been a sparkplug on the Aggie basket ball team the past four seasons. "Basketball has always been my first love," said Hubbard. "But those days are over now and I have found a great deal of satisfaction in baseball. This year has been a good one for me so far." I never really thought about pro baseball, but a Mets scout told me that I had a good arm and great speed."
