Keith Picked
By Howard
Hoya Keith, an assistant football coach at the
University of Colorado the last five seasons, has
accepted the head coaching position at Howard
University.
Keith, 30, becomes the 22nd head coach in the
University’s football history. He succeeds Doug
Potter, who completed his five-year tenure with a
30-21-2 record.
His appointment was announced by Dr. James E.
Cheek, president of Howard University.
A 1970 graduate of Ohio Northern University,
Keith has spend the last seven seasons under former
Colorado and and Miami of Ohio Head Coach Bill
Mallory. His acceptance of the head mentor’s post
ends a one month search to fill the vacancy.
"The selection committee was impressed with his
rich background of football and the recommenda-
hons that we received on him,” said Howard
University Director of Athletics Leo Miles. “He’s
young, enthusiastic, and is the most organized
person I’ve seen - qualities which we felt were
pertinent to the football program. ’ ’
I m anxious to be a head football coach,” said
Keith. “I was very happy upon hearing of my
selection. Howard University has great potential,
>nd 1 m very pleased with the attitude of people
related to the program. ”
At Colorado, Keith served as the offensive
lackfield and receivers coach. During his five
seasons there, the Buffaloes posted a 35-17-1 record,
*ere co-champions of the Big Eight Conference, and
‘PPeared intheAstro-Bluebonnet (1975( and Orange
Bowls (1976).

The Ramettes bounced
back on Saturday night to
rout J.C. Smith 96-58 as
Winfield scored 20 points
and Linda Lee added 19.
St. Augustine’s handed
the Lady Rams their first
CIAA loss of the season on
Monday night taking a
79-71 win. Trailing 76-59
with 4:03 left, the Ramettes
went to the press and
closed to 76-67 with 2:53
left but could get no closer
than the final margin.
The Lady Falcons, who
had played five times over
the past week, improv’ed
their record to 17-3
serves with being the key to
the teams ninth conference
win against two losses.
‘Lowry and McKenzie wer
the story tonight. The team
I started didn’t do the job. I
may have stayed with
Gaines and Jones
(Raymond) too long in
Charlotte. Lowry is prob
ably the quickest kid on the
club and McKenzie can
create some offense for us.’
The 103-97 loss to J. C.
Smith was the Rams first
loss to a southern division
opponent in two seasons.
‘They were hungrier than
we were,’ said Gaines of
the loss to ex-Virginia
Union coach Robert
Moore’s freshman studded
squad.

You can come out of the closets, bedrooms, health
spas and your other places of exile now ladies. Ho
longer will you have to hide out on Sunday afternoons
and Monday nights. The football season is over and you
won’t have to see another football game until at least
August.
And whats more you won’t have to put up with the
NBA on CBS on Sunday’s either. Instead you can look
movies and maybe even the Bob Gordon Show. How
wonderful. Maybe they will even put a few Soap Operas
on just for you on Sunday or Monday night.
Of course you will still be saturated with the Bill
Foster, Norm Sloan, Dean Smith and Carl Tacy Shows as
well as the (great) ACC contests. Still you won’t have to
worry about seeing those big neck brawny and mostly
black bodies running up and down the court at break
neck speeds played especially since Maryland and North
Carolina State have already played their two regular
season games for the season.
As for we basketball fans who still feel that the object
of basketball is to take it to the hoop well we
will just have to run to the Gaines complex and watch
the CIAA in action.
You see there is just not enough interest jn pro
basketball in this area to warrant showiag-of NfiA games
on the tube. Guess the four comers is just more exciting
to the average slow talking southerner than watching
Julius Erving and David Thompson go at it one-on-one.
Some of us had rather see Bob McAdoo, Walter Davis,
David Thompson and others now than to watch Hawkeye
Whitney and Gene Banks battle for a chance at not being
seen in the area in a few years.
This writer wonder if anybody else is tired of hearing
Enos’Country’ Slaughter cry sour grapes about not
making it to the Hall of Fame. Maybe he deserves to be
in the Hall but Jackie Robinson deserved to be in the
Major Leagues too.
Well, WSSU football fans can rest a little easier than
they could last week since Howard University has not
selected Bill Hayes as their new football coach. Now that
Floyd Keith has been hired there and Bill Davis has
taken over at South Carolinal State that means that there
are two down and four to go.
The guess here is that ‘Wild Bill’ will be back at the
helm of the football Rams again in 79. Our condolences
go to all other coaches in the CIAA.
Thank God for Ken Free and his new Leadership of the
MEAC. There are a number of basketball fans that were
praying for the MEAC and CIAA tourneys to be held at
different times this year and that prayer has been
answered.
The MEAC tourney is set for February 22 through the
24 in Greensboro while the CIAA event is set for March 1
through 3. Let’s see now. I’ve got $27 left on Master
