A total of eight repeaters are oil the first team-four on offense and four on defense. Walter Bennett of A & T who tied for the position last year with Julius Gamble of Howard, won the tight end position this year. Bennett, a 6-2, 190-pound senior from Jacksonville, Fla., caught 25 passes for 280 yards and four TDs.

He as outside linebackers and Van - BY KENNETH EDMONDS NCCU opened Its 1975-76 Monroe who season with what appeared to be three different teams. In the' seasons opener against. Maryland-Eastern Shore they stood around, did not play defense and looked good only in numerous few spurts. Result, an 87-83 overtime loss to UMES. Then Saturday night against heavily favored Delaware State they played like seasoned veterans, playing defense. rebounding, hustling and thinking. Result, 81-65 victory. Then Tuesday night rival N. C. A&T brought fans, pep band, cheerleaders and James Sparrow. Result 102-78 loss to A&T. NCCU Coach Sterlin Holt said the loss to UMES was "because of our poor rebounding and their quickness.' Poor rebounding and lack of defensive quickness told the story. Even though NCCU out-rebounded UMES 57-52 most of those were not on the offensive end. Regulation play ended with NCCU and UMES tied at 76-76, after Glen McCray missed a 22-foot jumper with four seconds left. Then in the over-time period after being down 79-76 UMES, got themselves under control and, were 87-83. But there was a bright spot. Durham natives lead NCCU all the way. Freshman John Harrell led the scoring with 23 points, Floyd Monroe had 20 with 17 rebounds and Tim Mclver tallied 6 pts. with 9 rebounds. Harrell definitely showed leadership along with Monroe and those two kept NCCU in the game. Then, one day later, fans saw an aggressive hustling squad upsat Delaware State College 81-65. Again John Harrell led the way with 24 pts. and freshman Robert McClellan coming through with 19. Floyd only scored : 10 pulled down 15 rebounds. Those fans who saw the UMES game were sure thev were, seeing a different Central team. The only difference in Central was that they came to play, and that they did. ' Fred Simmons and James Rogers carried the load tor Delaware with 23 and 21 points respectively. But that wasn't eliough for stunned Delaware. Then came A&T and James Sparrow on Tuesday night. With A&T returning 4 starters from last year, experience and rebounding strenght proved too much for inexperienced NCCU, in their 102-78 victory over Central, James Sparrow, sophomore, from Brooklyn, N. Y., scored, passed and rebounded around NCCU, laughing the entire game. It wasn't so much that he scored it was how he scored. He danced, scored and passed and laughed while humilating Central. But it was not all Sparrow; five A&T players scored 12 or more points with Sparrow leading the way with 29 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists. After that performance people began to put Sparrow in the class with Sam Jones and Earl Monroe. After Tuesday night, that's not such a bad comparison. Robert McClellan and John Harrell were the only bright 'spots for Central, scoring 21 and 16 points respectively. After being down 49-39 at the half, the Eagles fell apart and were never closer than 12 in the second half. Experience was the factor. Central's youth and A&T's veteran squad was too powerful for hapless Central. A&T forced Central out of their offensive patterns and dominated defensively. completed 107 of 197 passes for 1349 yards and gained a total of 1352 yards total offense. Turner is joined in the backfield by teammate George Ragsdale at one running back position and Anthony Tapp of Howard at the other along with Mark DurrJen of Morgan State at the flanker spot.
