JCSU Coach
Hopes for Best
In 70 Games
CHARLOTTE Johnson
C. Smith University head foot
ball coach Eddie McGirt is a
nun torn between anxiety and
security.
An 8-2 record is hard to
duplicate in any season, and
this yeitf Will be no different
from the rest. Trying to retain
the CIAA crown his Golden
Bulls won last year has him
fearful of any and everyone in
shoulder pads.
Thinking of the eighteen
seniors he lost via graduation,
players that included an Ail-
American halfback and several
AU-CIAA linemen now with
professional squads, he won
ders whether this season will
be his worst ever.
Replacing JCSU great Bill
Dusenbery will be left up to
senior speedster Tim Beamer,
and junior Willie Sutton, both
durable inside-outside threats.
Beamer, an off-season track
man, has been clocked at 9.3
In the century; McGirt thinks
the tandem can do Dusenbery's
job if they get over their late
season leg ailments.
Eddie welcomes back senior
QB Elroy Duncan, a name that
brings a warm glow to his heart
and confidence to his mind,
Elroy has led the Bulls in the
last three years as the number
one signal caller from medio
crity to brilliance. His presence

sive backs start to back peddle.
The Bulls' line will be an

Hardy and senior tackle Eddie
West, both seasoned per
formers in CIAA competition.
When the Herd takes to the
defensive side of the pigskin,

tackle John Fairley will be the
defensive and Larry Jones and
tackle John Fairley will be the
main cogs of the wrecking

professional ambitions, but
there's so much of the sweet,
the bitter can't be tasted.

COKE-NAACP SCHOLARSHIP
WlNNEß —Marcus Stone (right)
of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been
awarded a scholarship co-spon
sored by Coca-Cola USA and
the NAACP. Congratulating
Baseball's First S2OOOOO Player
Mets' Tom Seaver May Become
NEW YORK Johnny
Bench, Richie Allen, Carl
Yastrzemski and Frank
Howard all received strong sup
port, but the consensus of
top players and club officials
interview is that the Mets'
Tom Seaver will be baseball's
first $200,000 player.
"Sport" Magazine, which
conducted the survey, came
up with these criteria in sifting
for baseball's first $200,000
player. He must be outstand
ing right from the start of his
career, he must be in the big
money at an early age and he
must play for a team that
draws well.
"Seaver has the best chance
game season in Richmond Sep
tember 19, against Virginia
Union then return home
against Tuskegee Institute on
September 26, in an 8:00 p.m.
contest on the turf of Char
lotte's Memorial Stadium.
aggregation will be on tap Sep
tember 19 at the Statler Hil
ton Hotel while, on the same
night, the Hampton crew will
be playing at the Sheraton
Park Hotel. Both affairs will
be cabaret style with a star
studded floor show under the
direction of Michael Angelo
Graham. Added attractions will
be the Marksmen and the
Agents plus stellar stars. For
information contact Lindsay
Davis, in Washington, area

YMCA and YWCA.
Marcus upon his selection are
his mother, Mrs. Margaret Ba
den and Warren Howard of the
NAACP. The scholarship is one
of two such awards made to
for a number bf reasons,'
says the "Sport" article. "At
age 25 and in his fourth full
major-league season, he is al
ready drawing SBO,OOO a year.
He plays on a winning team
that draws big crowds. And
with his procession of near
perfect and low hit games and
his blistering strikeout record,
he is a tremendous gate attrac
tion. He also is blessed with a
generous and well-heeled own
er. And best of all, he plays
in the communications capital
of the U. S. "
After Seaver, the name most
mentioned as a $200,000 can
didate is the Red's Johnny
Bench. Many experts insist that
Cincinnati's fine young catcher
is even better bet that Seaver
because he plays every day and
because fastball pitchers
notoriously fade sooner than
hard-hitting catchers. More
over, Bench is three years
younger than Seaver, also
plays f-or a contender, and can
fill a ballpark on his own with
his heavy hitting.
Teammate Pete Rose says
of Bench: "He's a great
homer hitter, he's with a
potential pennant winner and
he's only 22. His potential
is so great that his salary can
only jump, jump, jump. Ted
Williams' one-word summary
of the Red's catcher is "Out
standing!"
Of most of the players
already in the SIOO,OOO class,
such as Mays, Aaron, Clemente
and Rank Robinson, most of
the experts agree that they
won't be around long enough
to make it into the $200,000
class themselves, though their
talent certainly would warrant
it.

total of ten annual scholar
ships for Black students award

Albany State Loaded for Grid
Opener Wrlh Fayetfeville State
FAYETTEVILLE - Fay
etteville State University's grid
opponent for September 19,
Albany State College, returns
28-letterman and could provide
a shocker for the Broncos.
Last season, the Broncos
went down to the Rams by a
21-6 margin and that was the
last victory the Albany club
tasted until the very end of the
season when they racked up
arch-foes Savannah State Col
lege and Fort Valley State
College on successive week
ends. During the stretch, the
Rams lost seven-straight games.
This year promises to be
different for the Rams as they
have a new grid mentor, Willie
James Parker. It is believed by
Ram partisans that Parker may
signal a fridiron renaissance if
he can pull together all of the
pieces of what looks like a
bumper crop of lettermen.
Eddie Wilson, a fleet-like wide
receiver with many talents, is
almost a cinch to be at a run
ning back position, give the
Rams' ground game a break
away threat and more balance
on the offensive attack.
Sylvester Bing, who is a
premier pass catcher, heads a
bumper crop of receivers who
make excellent targets for
quarterbacks Kennle Burke and
Gene Petty. Also, add the
names of Frank Mobley, Art
Cameron and Stan Pritch&t
Mobley had an outstanding
prep career and is reputed to
be ready this season.
Walt Johnson (6-3, 270)
and Reggie Forbes (6-2, 245)
both returning after surgery,
are expected to be the bulwark
of the defensive front, while
Jimmy Cosby and A 1 Denmark
head up the defensive line
backing corps.
Albany State used a hard
nose defense to lock up the
Broncos last season. Aided by
three blocked punts, the Rams
turned each of the miscuea
