Thursd Sports Not Big Apple t By KENNETH RAYMOND Chronic!* Sports Wrltsr Some of the most talented basketball players in the community will showcase their skills in die Big Apple League over the next eight weeks at Hanes HniWv BmymHAH Many, however, will be disappointed not to see Kenny Mickens, a former allcity/county performer at Reynolds High School. Mtekgn*, who is a Tfsing -tnphiwnnr? at t ITMr-Wilmington, is unable to participate in the league because National Collegiate Athletic Association rules prohibit players from joining unsanctioned summer leagues. The success of the Big Apple League last summer had many tV.4 i* U i Lrcucviiig uiai u wouio Become sanctioned and would allow coF~ lege players to add to the league's success story. But the league was advised not to seek sanctioning by the city Recreation Department. 'The league didn't lack a whole lot as far as getting sane* tioned," Recreation Athletic Supervisor John Goins said. "But for no more players than it would affect, it didn't seem to be worth the effort. "Each (college) player would have to have his coach's permission. I might want to have a bench player in the league, but I doubt I'd have one of my stronger players, like a Johnny Dawkins, in it." Goins said that college players v cannot be stacked on one team. For example, if Wake Forest or Winston-Salem State supplied players to the league, they would have to be separated and would have to be shared by each of the league's eight teams.

"I really don't know too much about the Wayne Robinson League, except that there's good competition," Mickens said. "1 really would like to play in the Big Apple. I wouldn't have to travel and I'd be playing with guys that I know." Commissioner Walter Funderburk and others involved with the Big Apple League would like to see Mickens participate. "I wish it were in my power to allow him to play without any prooiems, out it's not/' Funderburk said. "I have nothing but the utmost respect for Kenny Mickens and he's the kind of kid you want to be involved with.

Funderburk said he would do K his best to maintain the quality of W the league so that it could seek a sanction next year. Among the qualities that the NCAA looks for in a league are adequate facilities, professional officiating, responsible coaching ! and effective administration.
