Special to the Chronicle
The WSSU^Rams basket
ball team will try to end a
six game losing strek when
the Broncos of Fayetteville
State come to Gaines Center
Saturday evening, January
10, just as determined
to keep their perfect C1AA
record intact.
The visitors are currently
leading the southern division
with a record of 3 and
0, including a decisive victory
over St. Augustine's
on the latter*s home courty.
Coach Jake Ford's team is
led by William Person and
Bonny McNeil who rank in
the conference's top five in
field goal percentage and
free throw percentage respectively.
As is expected
by all Ram fans, FSU will
have a height advantage
when the two teams take
the, floor. The same has

would certainly be pleased

Although the absence of a

the Rams vulnerable at

Gaines is more concerned

liking for the kind on contact
that takes place under

The return to the team of
Mark Clark should be a
definite plus. His brief
appearance in the Aggies
Classic was evidence of his
offensive skills which gained
him an 18 point average
last season. The games
against Howard University
and Delaware State should
be all the conditioning he
needs to become a starter.
Therman Green, the junior
from Essex College in New
Jersy, has had trouble establishing
and consistency
in his performances. The

outstanding forward in the

Cardner-Webb captured
its own Bulldog Classic with
Frank Streater, a 6-foot-7
sophomore center, being
voted the "Most Valuahlr
Player.'' G-W beat Belmont,
Tenn., by 104-96 in
the first round with Streater
contributing 17 points and
17 rebounds. In the title
game which the Bulldogs
won 83-81 over
Cumberland, Ky., Streater
contributed 11 points and
seven rebounds. He was 13

two days and two for four

An important single
game took place Saturday
at Belmont Abbey where
Catawba's defending champions

Dwayne Brewington, a 6-8
