and determination, we can
have a victory over Howard

North Carolina Central Univ. 's
Johnson Plays With Confidence
Ask North Carolina
Central's amazing forward
Wesley Johnson, whouis-the
best college basketball player
in the country, he will surely
reply that he is one of them. It
is this confidence that has
lifted Johnson as well as the
Eagles from the bottom of the
Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference.
Johnson, who would rather
be called "Wes" is averaging 15
points per game and adds
board strength to the shorter
Eagles by grabbing . 10.3
rebounds per outing.; He
attributes his statistical output
to his confidence.
"Wes" asked, "How can you
be the best when you dont
feel that you are the best?"
Many people ask me if I feel
that I could play in . the
Atlantic Coast Conference and
my reply is that I feel that I'm
just as good as anyone with the
exception of David
Thompson."
Johnson's show of
confidence has earned him the
label as being cocky. "I'm not
cocky" states Johnson. "I just
have a lot of confidence."
Conflluntfshe key to
buUdfcg TwTn'nimr team and as
a team I think we all feel that
we have the ability to defeat
anyone."
When asked what is the key
to building confidence,
Johnson answered "Publicity is
the key to building confidence
but around here or any small
college we are not playe up by
the media." "Personally I think
that my confidence is
motivated by the love I have
for the game."
The 6-5 native of Durham
calls basketball a thing of
beauty. "When you are capable
of blending five different
individual styles of basketball
into one solid team, basketball
becomes a thing of beauty."
Wjs, a former Durham High
and All-City performer feels
that basketball is
entertainment and that fans
enjoy being on the winning
side. This has not always been
the case at Central but he feels
that things are beginning to
look better.
The Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act
(CETA), which went into
effect July 1, represented a
isgnlflcant shift toward
decentralization of the nation's
manpower program."""
