"This has~been a gYeat year so far," he said as he sipped on a cold beer. "In fact this may be the best team the . Indians have ever had.- We have got a lot of long ball hitters and great depth." The lofty praise did not come easy to Wilklns, a long time star for the Indians at second base and a key member of the 1975 team which had a 37-1 record. Wilkins was all smiles because his team had just won the regular season c i_i imr_t?r .. i line ui ine yy insion-oaiciii Dascuau League, finishing the season with a 14-2 league mark. "We got off to a great start in league play this year," Wilkins reminised as he took another long drink of what the team called "poor man's champagne." "We made some changes in our organization before the season started and we Tost two of our first three games then when the league season opened things just started to com together. The changes Wilkins referred to were wL not all on the playin field. Willie Walls, manager for the Past three years, became co-owner with Wilkins and Ted Petree, the teams long time shortstop, took over the managerial job.

With that addition, the team was off and rolling despite the loss of Ben Norris, the league's leading homerun hitter, and ace pitcher Gary? Groce who defeated the Warden MG's. Wilkins and his vfront office crew began to fill holes in the team which already had a solid nucleus of Curft Gibson, Mike Smith, Petree and Frank Cauthenr-?They picked?up?speedy centerfield Rick Broadstreet from the Astros, grabbed John Pheifer, a switch hitter who can play anywhere in the infield and a left handed hitting first baseman, Charlie Hardesty. - Early in the season the word was out that the VBig Red Machine" was loaded with power hitters again but the question was with the pitching. With Groce gone, Wilkins turned to Mike Smith, his little fireplug who also plays ^hort and thirdbase. Smith responded with some find performances. The team picked up veterans Rick Tysinger and Mark Pavlika only to see them move on toother teams. That , left Wilkins with sore armed David Mizell, son of former major league hurler Wilmet^ "Vinegar Bend" Mizell. "Sugar Bend," as he is called responed with two consecutive shutouts and convinced Wilkins that his arm was again sound. tZZ ^ s /2 John Lovoll ->!

Well,.the coach has actually been out recruiting. The legend was Jgore than a little embarrased with the showing of his team at last years tourney and nobody , gets away with embarrasing the "Chief," Well, if he has been out recruiting then, why haven't we heard about some of the players he has gotten? Every other school in the CIAA has already announced the names of at least three players. When are we going to hear from our school is the question that is often asked of this writer. Hold your breath no longer, my friend, the coach has released the names of SEVEN, yes, SEVEN, players who -are headed for WSSU next season. In addition Gaines nintea mat ne is not on tne trail 01 two Dig men. In a telephone interview early this week the coach . released the names of these players.
