Coleman Not Tight
Vince Coleman, who will be the National

played without fear when it counted in
the last week of the regular season as
ne neipea 51. Louis to the NL East title.
Coleman, a former all-America at
Florida A&M, broke out of an 0-for-19
slump with an RBI single off Dwight

Winbush's Year
Final statistics show that former
Winston-Salem State football standout
Mike Win bask turned in a good season
for the Salem Redbirds of the Class A
Carolina League.
Winbush, a left-handed pitcher for
the Texas Ranger farm team, posted an
8-6 record with a 3.30 earned run

when Winbush completed 20 of 32
passes for 220 yards and a touchdown.
He also ran for a score.

Norfolk Serves Notice
Norfolk State has served notice in in
the first half of the season that it will
be hard to unseat the defending C1AA *
champion.
The Spartans' only loss has come to
Division 1-AA William & Mary
Ma t f \ ? vi * ti i ?
out rNoriom, ranked min in
NCAA Division II, has outscored its
CIAA opponents 159-17. That's an
average score of 40-4.

big plays: a 73-yard run by Tony
Graves on his only carry of the game, a
70-yard interception return by Darryl
Brown and a 39-yard Willie Gillus pass
to Tyrone Barlow.
The Spartans saw a seven-quarter
shutout streak come to an end on a
field goal by the Vikings' Jerome Ingram.
The way 19th-ranked WinstonSalem
State has played after an opening
loss at Virginia State, another
Winston-Salem-Norfolk CIAA Championship
Game appears to be on the
horizon.

Atlanta Classic
While we proudly watched Eddie
Robinson surpass the late Paul "Bear"
Bryant as college football's all-time
winningest coach, Robinson has
directed his attention to a more important
matter.
The Grambling coach will take his
top-ranked (Sheridan Poll) team to
Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium to
play Alabama State Nov. 9. Proceeds
from the game will go to aid African
famine relief.

"Famine relief is a life-and-death
matter," the Tiger coach said. "We
win help save lives.
'The Atlanta Classic has special
meaning. It is the most important game
in my 43-year coaching career."
Robinson and Grambling President
Joseph B. Johnson expressed embarrassment
that college football had not
joined other sports and entertainers in
contributing to African famine relief.
"We arc determined to do our part
without fanfare," Johnson said. "This
is a support effort that people
everywhere can empathize with and
rally to."
Albany State and Morris Brown will
also play in the football doubleheader.
