I Globetrotters coming to town ? ? ~w For 65 unforgettable years j; they've traveled the planet, bringing [ the sport of basketball and their i own inimitable comedy to fans in [ llOjcountries from Aruba to Zanz ibaij They're the Harlem Globetrot terr;4he most famous sports team ;;on?arth! \ V As part of their 65th anniver sary. season, the world famous ? magicians of basketball will appear ;on super Sunday, Jan. 27 v at '/Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial \ Coliseum in Winston-Salem with ? tip-off time set for 1 p.m. The Harlem ^Globetrotters' 4 ? story began in the 1920's when Abe \ Saperstein packed a group of play \ ers into his Model T Ford and set j out for the team's first game in the ;town of Hinckley, 111. Now, 65 ? years later, The Harlem Globetrot ? ters are cheered alt over the world with ^jgreat basketball and gales-of - delighted laughter. * * For their 65th season, the team is fielding a remarkable squad of top-ranked basketball athletes ^including: James "Twiggy" Sanders, the reigning "Clown Prince of Basketball;" the dynamic team captain Clyde "The Glide" Austin; the gifted new female team member Jolette Law; slam-dunk master Billy Ray Hobley; and a host of additional superlative bas ketball talent. The legend of the Harlem Glo betrotters just keeps on getting big ger and better. Across countless millions of miles and millions of smiles, the houdinis of the hard court have done more to advance the international popularity of bas ket t^lll than any other team, any where. Again and again, the Harlem Globetrotters have proved there'-s no language barrier on superlative basketball and no translation need ed for hearty laughs. Through the years, the Harlem Globetrotters have grown in glory into far more than just a sports team. Today, they are, quite simply, an international institution. Determined to end the Harlem Globetrotters' 20-year winning streak this season are their perenni al rivals, the frustrated and win hungry Washington Generals. The newly-beefed up Generals' squad seems eager to accept their form idable challenge. The Harlem Globetrotters have not been defeated since 1971, but Generals' coach veteran Red Klotz says his 1991 team is the best ever, and includes some of the hottest shooters in basketball today. "The Generals are bent on revenge," says Coach Klotz. "The Harlem Globe trotters better be extra careful this season."
