Rams to play Virginia State in Sportsmen's Classic
By Chronicle Staff
Winston-Salem State fans
get the chance to mix a little fun
in the sun along with football
when the Rams face Virginia
State in the Wilmington Sports
men's Classic on Sept. 21 in
Wilmington.
Tifckets for the game will go
on sate at the school on Monday.
WSSU was orginally sched^
uled to play Morehouse College
in -the- Port City Classic in Wilm
ington this Saturday. But prob
lems arose when it became
Clear that the use of the name
Port City Classic would result in
litigation.
In recent years, the Port City
Classic was played between
Fayetteville State and Elizabeth
City State. But this year, Eliza
beth City, Fayetteville and the
Sportsmen's Club weren't able
to come to an agreement during
negotiations. From that point,.
Winston-Salem State became
interested in participating.
But as time for the game
drew closer, it became evident
that the game's organizers
would encounter problems
because of the Port City Classic
name. Because of the uncertain
ty concern ing how much time jt
would take for that problem to be
resolved, WSSU opted to not
play Morehouse in Wilmington.
Last week, however, the
Wilmington Sportsmen's Club
renamed the game and Winston
agreed to play its Sept. 21 home
game vs. Virginia State in Wilm
ington under the name Wilming
ton Sportsmen's Classic.
HWe were wanting to play in
Wilmington all along," said Al
Roseboro, Winston-Salem State
athletic director. " But when it
was determined that the Port
City Classic name couldn't be
used by us and the Sportsmen's
Club, we had to switch the More
house game back to Winston.
"Our prime purpose for
going to Wilmington is to
enhance our in-state recruiting.
We have a strong alumni follow
ing there. The Sportsmen's Club
wanted to have a game and they
wanted us to be one of the
teams. So this gives our fans
and boosters a chance to have
an enjoyabie weekend in a
resort city while seeing the
Rams play.
MWe regret any inconve
r
nience that this ch ange may
cause our fans. But at least
we're letting people know about
it in advance so they can plan to
attend."
This year's Wilmington
Sportsmen's Classic is set for a
2:30 p.m. kickoff at Legion Stadi
um. This contest is a fund-rais
ing event sponsored by the
Sportsmen's Club.
Proceeds from the game are
used to provide scholarship
money for college-bound stu
dents. So far, the club has pro
vided $12,000 in scholarship
funds for students who live in :
Wilmington and surrourttfifiQT
areas.
Ticket prices are $10 for;
adults and $5 for studenti.;
WSSU season ticket holdere'*
tickets will be honored for the:
classic. WSSU students will be
admitted by showing their stu
dent activity cards.

Norfolk State squeezes past
Virginia State in season opener
By Chronicle Staff
Norfolk State notched $ sea
son opening conference win
over Virginia State. But the Spar
tans really had to work hard to
record the triumph.
It's clear that Lou Anderson,
the Trojans' first-year coach, is
going to cause more than a few
problems with his run and shoot
Hi i
Hr n rn
its weekend
little went right for Johnson C.
Smith as they fell to Gardner
Webb.

action in the CIAA.
NSU nips VSU
Gary Morris caught two TD
passes from Joe Bryant in the
third quarter to help Norfolk
State claim an 1 8-1 2 victory over

ished the day with four
catches for 64 yards
and the two scores.
Defensively, Spar

with seven tackles, one
interception and three

Virginia State, how
ever, came through with
some solid perfor
mances of * its own
defensively. LB Andre
Brickhouse proved to be
almost omnipresent with
12 tackles, one intercep
tion. one pass break-up
plus one QB sack.
In the meantime ,
cornerman Marcus

new modern-day CIAA
record, returning an
interception 96 yardSyfor

Fayetteville State's Broncos
were looking to start the season .
on a winning note. But Carson
Newman refused to co-operate,
stopping FSU, 44-21 .
Nevertheless, running back
Kenneth Frazier did produce in a
big way for the Broncos. Frazier
gained 119 yards on 17 carries
and scored one touchdown.
Additionally, it appears that rook
ie wide-out Jessie Curtis could
prove to be one of the league's
most exciting kick returners in

didn't score, but gave FSU
excellent field position after
returning a kick-off 77 yards.
Zilch for Smith
Week one was not very kind
to Johnson C. Smith's Golden
Bulls, who were walloped by
Gardner- Webb, 31-0.

on the scoreboard, Smith was
nullified offensively. For the
game, the Bulls generated only

"WE DON'T THINK
THEY SHOULD SMOKE"
That young people and smoking don't go
together has long been the position of the tobacco
industry And the industry ha^fecently.
launched aggressive new programs with the
express purpose of putting cigarettes further
out of reach of young people. Here's what
we're doing:
? Supporting state laws that would
prohibit the sale of cigarettes to those
under the age of 18.
? Supporting state legislation to require
supervision of vending machines in
locations frequented by minors.
? Requiring cigarette ads on billboards to be at
least 500 feet from any elementary junior or
senior high school or children's playground.
? Sharply limiting the distribution of product
samples and premiums.
ITS THE
LAW
WE DO NOT SEU
TOBACCO PRODUCTS
TO PERSONS UNDER 18
To help retailers enforce state laws prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to minors, we are providing a
sign like the one shown here for display
where cigarettes are sold. There is also a new
booklet available from The Tobacco Institute
for families with young children. It's called
"Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No." It helps
parents help their children resist peer
pressure to smoke. For a copy write to
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
RO. Box 1207, Winston-Salem, NC 27102.
R. J. Reynolds believes that these new tobacco
industry programs will help young people
understand that smoking is NOT part of growing up.
