The glistening beads of sweat danced on Tommy Witt's forehead not from the stifling 95 degree summer heat, the oppressive August humidity, or the preseason football drills he was putting his North Forsyth junior varsity football team througn. No, this was the kind of sweat that comes from anxiety, the kind a football coach develops when he worries about some aspect of his team. In Witt's case it was the offensive line v V A . . . <. t ? ' V \ lor, more accurately, the lack of one. "I worried over the summer about our offen sive line because we didn't have, many linemen coming back and the ones returning had very lit tle experience," Witt, the head coach of the North Forsyth junior varsity football team, said last week. "I knew we were going to have scjme good running backs, but I was worried about who Was going to block for them/- ? As it turns out, Witt worried needlessly. 1 Center Donald Crockett, guards Reggie Ellerbe and Dylan Reid, and tackles Fred Snipes and Gary Anthony, along with versatile Daniel Everhart. who plays guard and tackle, have been the engine propelling the Vikings' high-powered rushing attack. This is no gas-efficient, four-' cylinder model: It's more like a V-8. Anthony tips tvhe scales at 3(05 pounds, Everhart 240, Ellerbe 192, Snipes 182, Crockett 175 and Reid is the lightweight at 158: The six sophomores have been a major factor in the Vikings' 6-2 record heading into battle with Greensboro Grimsley see OFFENSIVE page 19 , ; .

Defense Paces Glenn's Win Over Parkland \ By JEROME RICHARP Chronicle Sports Writer Chalk one up to the Glenn High School defense. The Glenn defense limited Parkland to 52 yards of total offense and scored a touchdown on an inter ception return as the Bobcats posted a 13-6 victory in junior varsity foot ball Oct. 20 at home. Neither team generated much offense in the North Piedmont 3-A Conference contest, but Glenn (5-4, 2-3) was able to take advantage of a sustained scoring drive just before the end of the first half and Mike Sawyer's 65 -yard interception for ti touchdown in the third quarter for the victory. Parkland failed to capi talize on good first-half field posi-, tion and collapsed in the second half under the weight of mistakes, penal ties, and the muscle of the Glenn defense. "We just disintegrated in the second half," Parkland head coach Sam Davis said. "We just aren't experienced enough up front to han dle a team that stunts as much as Glenn. They sent a lot of lineback ers in the gap^and hurt us. Their. see DEFENSE page 20 ? Photo by Johnny Wilson Glenn quarterback Brian Pankey scrambles against Parkland.

No athlete from a historically black college has ever won the Heis man Trophy, Lombardi Award, Out land Trophy, or any of college foot ball's so-called major awards. Reg gie Rutherford figures something is wrong with that. That's why Rutherford has cre ated the Eddie Robinson Trophy. Named\after Grambling State coach Eddie Robinson, the winningest coach in college football history, the trophy^will go to the top .football player from one of 43 historically black colleges. It will be presented Dec. 8, at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta. "I feel athletes at historically black schools have been well shunned," "says Rutherford, head of the Los Angeles-based Rutherfotd Production Company. "No Heisman winner. No Lom bardi winner. No Outland winner, and you had players like Roosevelt Brown (Morgan State), Art Shell (Maryland-Eastern Shore), Walter Payton (Jackson State) and Doug Williams (Grambling State) coming from these schools. There's history there." ' The Robinson Trophy won't change history, but Rutherford hopes it will give recognition to historically - black colleges and the athletes who compete for them. A national panel of sport-writ ers, coaches, athletic directors, con ference commissioners, and sport information directors will select the . winner.
