1116 contest, the opening
game on the schedule of both
U’a, wUl kickoff-at a p.m.
"We are not sure about him
(Dukes),” coach Eddie
McGirt of JCSU said early
Wednesday morning. “He has
a sprained ankle and it is
doubtful if he’ll play. We have
our fingers crossed.”
Barry McNeil, a dis-placed
quarterback, likely will get
the call at Duke's flanker post.
The veteran Smith mentor is
also counting on Ronnie
Rogers to help fill the
vacancy.
With the exception of Dukes,
who is without a peer as a punt
return specialist and ball
carrier, the Bulls are in solid
condition.
Only one newcomer has
muscled his way into the
starting lineup on the of
fensive unit and just two have
won positions with the
Hpfpnaivp unit
Ralph Collette, 220-pound
junior who starred as a sub
stitute a year ago, will open
the season at defensive end
and sophomore • Tyward
Jordan will get . the nod at
cornerback
The remainder of defensive
co-ordinator Charley Cox's
team are Tom Johnson at
defensive end, Ronald Miles
and Ronnie Corley at tackles.
Otis Jones. Billy Harris and
Arthur Hardy are the
linebackers. Willie Bailey will
start at the other corner and
Dan Harvin and Dave Green
are the safeties
It’s a toss up as to who will
' get the call at the vital
quarterback position
Sophomore James Wideman
and junior Luther Carter are
both available and McGirt will
make a decision as to who will
start Just before game time
Saturday night
"I don't think I I) have a No
1 or No 2 man at the position
as long as they both continue
to give 100 percent," the Smith
coach stated, pointing out that
both players have outstanding
leadership capabilities
Junior Mike Gibson and
, sophomore Larry Mathis will
team with McNeil in the back
field and tight end Bill Dulin,
tackles George Hill and Billy
Corbett, guards Dan Wythe
and Ricky Yeaduon and
center Linwood Spindle will be
the other starters of the of
fensive unit*7
Maryland Eastern Shore
has a new head coach this
season but the Hawks plan to
improve their 4-6 record of a
year ago One of their set
backs was a 20-14 loss to J.C
Smith __
Harold Gray, who has been
iromoted to the rank of head
:oach, has >29 lettermen
returning from the team
which came on strong during
the latter part of last cam
paign and won a spot in the
coveted Orange Blo.ssom
Classic against Florida A&M
Running backs Harold Wood
and John Parker give UMES
one of the strongest one-two
punch in the Mid-Eastern
Athletic Confeience. Woods
was outstanding with 677
yards rushing for 141 carries. .
Allen Scott will probably be
the starting quarterback.
The Hawks have top per
formers on defense in Melvin
Cusack, Carl Hairston,
Thomas Majors and Kenny
Shell Their offensive
stickouts are Marshall
Becoat, Theartis Childress
and Alex Franklin.
