One thing is for sure, however, and that's the feet that the ACC shouldn't have any trouble recruiting who they^want in next year's high school "draft". Six of the top 15 selections were ACC players. And 10 stars from the conference "were tabbed in the first four rounds. While the ACC was getting all the headlines the CIAA was not left out of the draft. Four players from the conference were picked, Norfolk State's Ray Epps, a 6-6 forward, who declared himself a hardship case after his junior year and the CIAA's "Player of the Year" last season was picked by Goldon State- in the fifth Found.

Curvari Lewis, Virginia Union's 6-8 center, was tftUpn hv thg Buffalo Rrnyps in the sixth rminrL while WSSU s George Gibson was nabbed by Philadelphia in that same round. Robert Lewis of Johnson Smith was taken by Detroit in the final round. The 6-5 Lewis was the CIAA's leading scorer in '75-'76but was only eligible for the first semester last season. While the first and second round big name players got much of the publicity and also the best money offers, players from black schools had to wait until the fifth round before more than three players were taken. Texas Southern's Alonzo Bradley was the first black college player taken. Bradley may have been_ _the_best _senior guard in Jhe _college ranks this season. That remains to be seen in the season ahead. Many think Bradley is better than The Bullet's Larry Wright who was taken in the first round of last year's an/4 fiiwoiJ /*!? 1.:? 1 umtv uiiu i>ui ucu uui wo uc tnc ucst iuuiuc ? ua.ru in the NBA this season. The biggest surprise of the draft, at least to this writer, was that super forward Gerald Cunningham of Kentucky. State was not picked until the fifth round. The New York Nets made him the first player selected in that round. The Nets who are desperately in need of strong fire _power at the forward position, may have next season's "rookie-of-the-year'\ Another player to watch is Emergy Sammons of Philadelphia Textile. Not many people have heard of this young man or his Alma Mater but watch out for "Em the Gem" in the seasons to come.

On the following night they avenged on earlier loss to the Danville Dolphins by routing the club The Indians hopes for the WSBL title have been boosted by the return of "veteran shortstop Ted? Petree this weekend from an ankle injury. Petree contributed five hits in the two victories knocking in four runs. Curt Roseboro, a mainstay of the Indians for many years, also returned to the line-up after a brief retirement and socked a three run homer driving in five runs. Frank Carlton, who played for the squad last _ season, had six hits in the two games after leaving Gardner Webb College for the summer. The wins brought a smile to the face of Wilkins who talked freely about the team's slump.

"We have three strong starts in Randy Lambert; Gary Groce, and Robert Lowe. With those three and the left hander we hope to pick up soon our starting pitchers should be strong." Wilkins indicated that with this group of starts Mike Smith, the team's leading hitter vand a starter early in the season, could be switched to relief and thus better able to help out atr third base where he also plays. Cary Flyntr another strong armed righthander, will also work from the bullpen and play second base at times.
