Most of you didn’t enjoy my Column of lasfweek
as much as you all say you did .. Some citizen
organization should throw full support to the
Central Piedmont Community College football
„ .which is without adminislration support
ndrsanction.
- If "seems tl\at, in order to play with the team, an
athlete has to pay for his own equipment and
uniform at a cost of $75 each.
Richard Petty will be. a gpod bet to win the
Charlotte Motor Speedway.-National 500. Petty’s
list of 146 career wins does not include a CMS first
place.He’s long overdue.
