Garner, a 12 year old golfer, came back this year to win after a poor showing last year. After finishing around 13th last year, Garner concentrated on his game with plenty of practice. "It used to be that J didn't want^o practice," Garner said. "But once I started practicing, I found I'd rather be on a golf course than riding my bike." It was as the age of six when Gamer picked up his first golf club. He became interested in~tRe game by watching his father teach his sister how to play. Secretly he watched*and began "fooling around" with a club. "When> my father first saw me he was amazed at my golf swing because I hadn't had lessons," Garner said. He participated in about three golf programs befd^e participating in his * present program at Tanglewood Park. In addition to golf, James likes to box, play basketball and swim. He has excelled in these sports also. He is the I 100 lb. AAU boxing champ at Reynolds Park and intends to try out for the basketball team at school in the fall. "I like going into different sports," Garner continued. "I want to be an engineer but knowing how to play a lot of sports will be good because then I would have something to fall back on.'' Garner is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Garner and a rising seventh grader at PhiloJunior High. He attended Hall-Woodward Elementary last year and was a member of the Student Council. He will not be able to participate in golf at Philo. because it is not offered in the lower grades. "I wish they would have golf programs in lower grades so we could compete with other schools,'' Garnet said. "Blacks could improve in golf if they iiad it. Garner said he was disappointed that more golf programs were not offered in black neighborhoods.

The seasons of baseball, basketball and football have always been confusing to the Mrs. but now this writer is about to bet confused himself. College football players from the CIAA will begin returning to campus on August 12 to make preparations for the 1979 season. With Shaw University no longer fielding a team there will be 10 teams in the conference with football squads this fall. The two new members of the CIAA, North Carolina Central, Bowie State and will become eligible to compete for the conference title in 80. Over in the MEAC which still has seven teams until 1980 only two of the football coaches from last year are still around. Clarence Thofoas of Morgan State and Jim "Muhammad Mouth" McKinley of A & T only two who survived. The new kids on the block include Tyrone Caxdweil at-Maryland Eastern Shore, Henry Lattimore at NCCU, Bill Davis at South Crolina State, Floyd Keith at Howard, and Charles Henderson at Delaware State. Only Lattimore will have the misfortune of having to \. J Winston-Sa. Serving fhe fdst V\ir #* Hayes Compl WSSU head footbal coach Bill Hayes has signed three v new assistants: Pete Richardson, Thomas Saxon and a Rueben Turner. ^ Richardson will work with the offensive backfield.

After 1 year as an assistant, he was ' head football coach at Dunbar High School in Dayton c where his teams were 9-9-1 in 1977 and 1978. t "Pete can really help us a lot," says Hayes. "The 1 most criticized part of our game last year was the running game. Pete played defensive back, but he knows both ends of the game and brings to our program | football knowledge and experience that we need." Thomas Saxon will work with the offensive line, thus s _ - ,. 2 freeing Hayes to work more with the quarterbacks.. Saxon was Pittsburgh Courier and Associated All American guard at North Carolina Central - alma mater < of Haves (*64) and Charles Bailey ('72), linebacker coafch. ( After graduation in 1973, Saxon went to graduate c school at the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse.

The once mighty Eagles will visit Bowman Gray Stadium on September 15 with Hayes looking for a second straight win over his alma mater. Speaking of WSSU and Hayes the football Rams have added two toughiea to their 1979 schedule. On October 20 Hayes will take his two time CIA A champs to Wilberforce.Ohio to battle always tough Central State. Then on November 10, the Rams last regular season, they, will face Kentucky State in Frankfort, K.Y. Hayes now has concluded his taff for 79 after having to replace both Major Floyd Griffin and James Price. He says he feels comfortable with his three new coaches and despite the pressure of being the Vhunted" again this year seems more relaxed (at least now) than he has been in the past three years. On the basketball scene C. E. "|JighouseM Gaines ' team will also do a little more traveling than usual this season. In place of the Holiday Festival Gaines has hosted for some time, his cagers will travel to Wilberforce to take part in the Norman Ward Invitational Tournament on November 30 and December 1. Then on December 7 and 8 they will play in the Windy City Classic in Chicago. Could it be that Bighouse has decided that a little exposure outside the friendly confines of the Carolinas and Virginia might help him land that big man he has been talking about for so many years? Or could it be that the coach has decided that if Hayes can travel then why can't he? Either way WSSlTs outstanding football and j 1 fl At H A ?? ^ f A *1 oasKctoau teams win gex a lime more exposure tnis year. ; That's something they both deserve and need. Well I've stayed away from baseball as long as I can now but I must comment on the recent trade of Mickey Rivers by the Yanks. The youngsters they got for Rivers may help them in the future but not this season. Maybe the player to be named later will turn out to be A1 Oliver. Right now it looks like the Yanks will fall by the I wayside in 79. If they do look for a lot of trades in the off season. Here's hoping they won't make the kind of mistake they did when they let Bobby Bonds get away a few years ago. j r \ I V 4 N\ % lem Chroniclenlon Communjiy Since 7974 letes Staff arsity team. Since receiving his M.S., Saxon has been ,n assistant coach aMCourtland College in upstate New 'ork. "Saxon has worked at Division I and Division III chools," noted Hayes. "I think this broad background vill help our program. Besides, we really have needed omeone who can^ concentrate on the offensive line ? nen." "Plus," added Hayes, "Saxon's hometown is Columbia, S.C.
