sports Black College Sports Black Schools In PostSports Illustrated, in its college football preview issue, says black college teams Grambling, North Carolina A&T and Norfolk State should all advance to postseason play this winter. The magazine says Grambling and A&T should make the Division I-AA playoffs. SI rates Florida A&M as a sleeper in Division 1-AA. ~ 150,000 Game??Florida A&M and Grambling may need to take Wells r. ?- ? i 1 i i * < uuus mong wnen tney travel to New York Sept. 5 ? for n footbali^game. The rwo-daytTipwUlcost the schooh^atmosi $50,000 a piece! FAMU, for example, will spend $27,000 on airfare, plus $2,600 for ground transportation. The Rattlers will be headquartered at the Sheraton Centre, where rooms, at the group rate, are $59 per night. Coach Rudy Hubbard's suite will cost $250 nightly. And when the team settles down for hot chocolate and donuts Friday night, the tab will be $5.45 per person. Dinner Saturday night, featuring prime rib, will be $33 per person. Soft drinks are not included and are Sl.25 each. Neither team should lose money on the trip, though. They'll split 80 percent of the gate receipts, with the New York Urban League getting the remaining 20 percent. Some 50,000 fans are expected in Yankee Stadium for the game. "V Who Produces Most? What black college produces the most pro football players? It's Jackson State. Last year, the Tigers had 21 former players in the NFL, including Chicago's Walter Payton. Only six schools, all predominantly white, had more alumni in the pros. Pro Scouts Drooling Pro scouts are drooling over Bethune-Cookman defensive end Booker Reese. He's 6-foot-7, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds. That's not bad for a man who ups me scaies ai zou pounds. Says Philadelphia Eagles personnel director Carl Peterson, "He's so quick off the ball, sometimes he's not even touched." Other black college players high on pro scout's lists are Morris Brown free safety Ricky Eberhart, North Carolina A&T defensive end James Williams and Tuskegee linebacker Kenneth Woodward. Morris Brown's Eberhart, says the Atlanta Falcons' Tom Braatz, "is the best small-college prospect in the country." . . _ Press Guides f Black college press guides are starting to roll off the presses, and so far, Alcorn State and Hampton institute have the most attractive guides of any small college I've seen...Alcorn State football coach and athletic director Marino Casern commenting on attempts by some schools to push small colleges off network TV: 4<I think the 'haves' are trying to push the 'have nots' right out of existence. We have reached a position in the NCAA where all parties, regareless of division, can exist in a manner in which they are accustomed to existing and do well." Centr Win ( South 1 By Barry Cooper Sports Correspondent When North Carolina Central noticed how big the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference was becoming, the Eagles quickly left the league for a smaller conference. Central didn't go far. The Eagles joined the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and in their first year won the CIAA championship. That was last season, and you can look for Central to challenge for the title again this vear. Of the two CIAA divisions -- North and South -- the South seems the weaker. That means Central should easily breeze to the South title this year, if it can hold off challenges from Winston-Salem State and Johnson C. Smith. This is how the South division race should go: FIRST ? North Carolina Central. SECOND -- Winston-Salem State. THIRD Johnson C. Smith. FOURTH -- FayetteviUe State. FIFTH - Livingstone. SIXTH -- Bowie State. NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL (7-5, 7-0 in the CIAA last year) swept through league play unbeaten last year, and return 15 starters. There are some problems, however. The Eagles lost their top two quarterbacks to graduation, and also lost their top wide receiver and two top linemen. But the first three running backs return: Roscoe Burnett (660 yards), Michael Worthy (561) and Bennie Tate (376). There are also some pretty good linemen back to block for Burnett and Co. Tackles Clarence Kenny (6-1, 250) and Charles Bush (5-10, 245) return. W/r( V p7T7a^?^?.. ??fl?-^^^BHWBW8WB|^i^^fer"'?TryrTrgr;!jr?

Bragg in a non-conference encounter. The "experts" of the C1AA conference have picked the Bronco-men to finish fourth in the newly aligned Southern and Northern Division C1AA format. Last year with a 3-5-1 mark overall, the FSU-men led the league in total defense averaging only a stingy 163.8 yards to opponents. They were second in the CIAA in scoring defense averaging 11.1,second in the conference in rushing defense allowing only 79.7 yards per outing and just sever TDs. al To ZIAA Divisio Central probably will not g year, but the Eagles look strc South.

New first-year coach "Bill" Head is neverthe less optimistic about the upcoming campaign. "We will be small but will be highly competive, and we'll show up to play every game," the likeable former Morris Brown College coach began. f "Our kids are cdming along rather will and learning the system.
