Great running backs
in National Football
League history fall into
one of two categories.
The Roadrunners are
the speedboys, the guys
who run the 100 in one
digit times and leave the
defense grabbing at air.
The Trucks are the
power runners, the big
guys who run through
brick walls instead of
around them, spraying
opponents in all di
rections. Roadrunners go
"beep, beep" as they
run right by you. Trucks
go honk, honk as they
roll right over you. The first is a hit and miss proposition, the
second 1 a and run. Defensive linemen and linebacker
agonize over the Roadrunner they can't catch, while defensive
backs cringe for fear of being flattened by a runaway Truck.
-"HThe parade of great running backs began during the NFL's
. infancy with Bronko Nagurski (a Truck) and Red Grange (a
Roadrunner). It continued through the 1940s and '50s with
horses like Marion Motley and Steve Van Buren and tho
roughbreds like Lenny Moore and Frank Gifford.
Certain college and professional teams have had a mono
poly on lop running backs. The University of Southern
California turned out O.J. Simpson and Mike Garrett during
the modern era, as well as Gifford and Jon Arnett from years
past The boys from Syracuse included Jim Brown, the career
rushing leader, Floyd Little, Larry Csonka and Ernie Davis,
perhaps the best of the lot, who died of leukemia before he ever
played a professional game. The Chicago Bears are one NFL
team to have owned a patent on great backs over the years,
from Willie Galimore to Gale Sayers to Walter Payton.
The threat of serious injury has followed running backs
around like a shadow for years. The constant pounding has
resulted in premature retirements for some of the greatest, like
Sayers, Gifford and Simpson, making too many careers sweet
but short
1UP Super Star Earl Campbell leads the latest crop of great
or" potentially great running backs. The Houston Oiler
powerhouse has a reputation for blasting holes through enemy
fines on his frequent path to the end zone.
Earl is an exception among even the great ones, in that he is
blessed with excellent speed along with his brute strength and
uncanny balance. He is more tank than truck to the defensive
backs who have felt the sting of the Campbell Express and
would like tosee such vehicles outlawed.
,'iEarl is the most punishing runner in the game today," said
one veteran defensive back. "His strength and running style
make it almost impossible for him to be taken down one-on-one.
AH you can do is hold on and wait for help."
Brought up in rural Texas, Earl barrelled into football
prominence during his freshman year at the University of
Texas. He was a four-time member of the All-Southwest
Conference team, rushing for 4,444 yards during his career.
He was a Consensus All-American during his senior year and
the winner of football's most cherished honor, the Heisman
Trophy, following the path of other great running backs like
Simpson, Davis, and Tony Dorsett
In his rookie season in the NFL, the 7UP Super Star led the
league in rushing with 1,450 yards in 302 carries. This means
that he gained an average of 4.8 yards every time he banged
through the middle or tiptoed down the sidelines. He galloped
for 100 or more yards on seven occasions and finished the year
with 13 TDs. He won Rookie-of-the-Year honors hands
dowa
The 5' 11", 225 -pound running machine improved on his
performance last year. He led the NFL in rushing again, this
time with 1,697 yards, and scored 19 touchdowns.
"I don't care what people say, a running back can't do it all
byAirnself," said Campbell "Both with the Oilers and in
college I was fortunate enough to play behind an excellent
front line. It's really .not that hard to gain a lot of yards when
y!,navc linemen that can punch holes big enough for a Mack
truck to fit through" -.
Modesty notwithstanding, Earl will- be taking aim at the
2,000 yard season mark that has been shattered by only one
running back: O.J. Simpson. A number of other top backs will
bexhasing the 24-year-old Texan for that 2,000 yard season.
Heame close in 1980, leading ,the NFL with 1,934 yards
rushing. " ''
Jjjjly Sims, the rookie from Oklahoma, has given Detroit
Lion fans something to cheer, about for the first time in years.
Tony Dorsett is capable of breaking a long run everytime the
Dallas Cowboys hand him the pigskin. Ottis Anderson of the
St Louis Cardinals, Wilbert Montgomery of the Philadelphia
Eagles and Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears also provide
their teams with instant offense.
JBarring injury, any of these backs has the potential of
breaking both the year and career rushing marks. And any one
of ihem could very possibly be the greatest running back in
NFL history, whether they be Roadrunner or Truck.

When the Durham Hous
ing Authority released its
maintenance charge list in
November, tenants in
public housing expressed
many objections. Some
said the prices were too
high for the quality of
materials used. Some ob
jected to who was respon
sible for payment for
replaced items and items
replaced because of nor
mal wear and tear.
Tenants asked that the
Authority to conduct a
survey to determine the
condition of the items in
question.
The Commissioners
suggested to the Authority
and the Tenant Steering
Committee, spokesmen
for the tenants, that each
conduct price surveys to
find out current their
market prices of items
listed on the maintenance
charge list. On Wednesday
night, January 15, the
Authority and the Tenant
Steering Committee met
to discuss the results of the
survey.
DISCREPANCIES
IN PRICES
Mrs. Pat Rogers, direc
tor of Tenant Steering
Committee, said the TSC
took items from the com
plexes in order to compare
quality and price. "We
just didn't tell the mer
chants what we are talking
about; we showed them.
We took screens, window
shades, and whatever else
we could to local mer
chants." John Thompson staff
member of TSC, said,
"Doors and screens car
ried in stock by local mer
chants were of better
quality and cheaper in
price than those used by
the Housing Authority.
We looked at the wooden
type screen doors. The
Authority was charging
tenants $78 dollars for
that same door which was
selling locally for as low as
$29.
Mrs. Christine Smith
lives in the Fayetteville
Street housing complex.
She has four children, one
of whom is in an electric
wheelchair which is dif
ficult to navigate through
the screen door without
bumping it. Mrs. Smith
says she purchased some
screen herself and her son
repaired her door, but
when she got her rent
statement, there was a
charge of $6 for screen
repair.
Several others also com
plained of problems with
screens and screen doors.
Mrs. Phyllis Whitted,
staff member of the TSC,
unrolled a window shade
which she said had been
recently installed in a
Bluefield resident's home.
Mrs. Whitted noted the
jagged edges, flimsiness
and the unevenness of the
shade. Mrs. Burton said
they discovered that the
shades the Authority uses
in public housing com
plexes do not meet the fire
code.
Executive Director
James Taborn reported
that he is evaluating the
idea of a survey of the
conditions of the housing
units, as had been sug
gested in earlier meetings.
He indicated that he is in
terested in knowing how
the TSC would evaluate a
unit and said the exchange
would provide him with
some ideas of how the
tenants feel and how the
evaluation should be conducted.

With few exceptions; conference basketball cham
pionships were suspended throughout the U.S. due.to
the manpower shortage from 1943-45.
With expediency as its basis, the CIAA added the
tournament format to its program immediately after the
war in Washington, D.C.
In a very short time, the favorable geograpnical loca
tion close to professional teams, big city sports
writers and major population centers enabled the
CIAA to surpass older, more established post-season
events in paid attendance.
The tournament has become a model for black college
promotions. It also served as the springboard to the
pros for the first players signed from minority campuses
and first in the NBA Harold Hunter, NCC, and
Earl Lloyd, West Virginia State. Both athletes inked
NBA contracts on April 4, 1950.
Changes were visible everywhere as veterans returned
to college and athletic competition. They were much
more serious and demanded "justice restrained by law,
and law defined by liberty."
Moreover, armed service competition and combat
had convinced them that the black college athletes could
play with anybody on any level.
For the first tim rctachft anrJ nlawrc haH a murk
clearer appreciation of their roles in the national athletic
picture. '
In keeping with this new status, the Colored Inter
collegiate Athletic Association became the Central In
tercollegiate Athletic Association.
The reason being, the designation of color was incom
patible with the league's new role, scope and mission.
All CIAA officials pushed for greater opportunities
with abundant hope.
Basketball flourished. West Virginia State enjoyed a
banner year in 1948. The Mark Carlwell coached team
gained national recognition by finishing the season as
the nation's only unbeaten team. The Yellow Jackets
garnered the CIAA visitation and tournament cham
pionships.
They also won the black national championship
acalftim with-tha 24-flf rcnMt -
'Thefoltowiflg Season, they were invited to make a

Virginia played Loras College, Dubuque, la., Nevada
Las Vegas, St. Mary's of California, Santa Clara, Regis
College, Denver and the Oakland Blue and Gold, 1949
AAU champions.
They lost only twice, to St. Mary's and the AAU
champs.
The black college community was elated and en
couraged over the showing. Again it indicated the
strength of CIAA teams.
Changes that took place during the period offered
unimpeachable testimony that the gates were finally sw
inging open.
Players from the CIAA and other black conferences
helped to revolutionize basketball at both the college
and pro levels. From the CIAA, the talent reservoir in
cluded, in addition" to Hunter and Lloyd, Sam Jones,
NCC, who scored 15,380 points in 872 games with the
Boston Celtics, Cleo Hill, Winston-Salem, Hugh Evans.
NCA&T, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Winston-Salem,
Bob Dandridge, Norfolk State, Al Attles, NCA&T,
Mike Gale, Elizabeth City, and Mik Davis, Virginia
Union.
Monroe, still active, was a dominant force around
whom the New York Knickstagerly assembled durinll
the championship '60's. He has scored over 15,000
points.
As a player, Attles was a student of the game, obserS
ing everything with an analytical eye. As a coach of tSE
Golden State Warriors, he has demonstrated the sanir
incomparable competitive qualities.
The emergence of the '50'$ represented a truly great
triumph for blacks when the following facts are con
sidered: ' .
The Big Ten didn't have a single black player in the
conference until 1945 when James Culbertson transfer
red from Virginia Union to Chicago University.
The Big Eight Conference added its first black eager
when Stanley Burt transferred to Kansas from NCC in
1947. r
The first black star ever selected on any major college
All-American team occurred in 1947 when Don
Barksdale of UCLA was tabbed. College all-Americart
teams date back to 1900. ;;
Contrast that with college basketball today.
And finally, the '50s ushered in the reality of basket
ball competition at the national level.
In 1950, Coach Eddie Howard, Howard University
Coach Harry Jefferson, Virginia State College, and this,
writer, traveled to New York Cily for the Annual Con
vention of the National Association of Basketball'
Coaches of the USA to petition for black, schools to"
enter national tournaments. y -
John Lawther jF ' Penn. , State, president of the :
NABC, agreed to place th question before the Ex
ecutive Committee. p!'
He returned from the executive group's meeting to
where we were waiting in the upper lobby of the Hotel
New Yorker. He told us, "Our committee hai approved:
your petition unanimously. We feel such a step is long
overdue and your schools must be included, if basket
ball in America is to be truly American.? ' :;
The next step was to advise black schools of this very
significant support attitude, then make an official re-,
quest to the two national collegiate championship spon-" '
soring organizations,' National Collegiate Athletic"
Association and the; National Association of Inter,
collegiate Athletics, !
The National Athletic Steering Committee fouaht and"
won the battle for admission:
