Tips on Wood Finishing
1
DOES IT CALL FOR PASTE WAX OR LIQUID?
The choice between liquid wax and paste wax can make
a difference in the appearance of newly finished or re
finished furniture.
Paste finishing wax imparts a hand-rubbed, lustrous
Wook. Liquid finishing wax will give a soft, in-depth qual
ify to the wood.
I For the extra protection it gives, paste should be used
ILr the first waxing. Thereafter, the choice is yours,
gftf Liquid wax can be applied right over paste wax with
^^fce steel wool to remove surface dust and dirt. An easy
buffing restores the gloss.
These and many other hints am contained in a 16-page

In Cage Finale
Golden Bulls Battle Eagles
In Durham Saturday Night
By ALAN ROUNDTREE
Post Sports Writer
Johnson C. Smith
University, on the verge of
capturing its first regular
season CIAA championship
since 1960. will end up its
regular season on the road
against North Carolina
Central University in Durham
Saturday night. . r.„
The last time the Golden
Bulls captured the division
title was in 1960 when Eddie
McGirt was doing the
basketball coaching by
winning the division title.
Smith would not only qualify
for top seding in the CIAA
tournament February 28.
March 1 and 2, but would gain
a bid to the NAIA District 26
playoffs.
The NAIA appearance
would be a first for Smith
University which finished its
season against conference
opposition with a 10-6 mark.
The Northern Division of
the CIAA appears to be
stronger than the Southern
Division with Virginia State,
Norfolk State and Virginia
Union all with outstanding
records and domination over
Southern Division teams.
Smith beat league leader
Virginia State despite turning
the ball over 39 times. But the
Bulls have dropped decisions
to Norfolk State and lowly
Hampton Institute.
Both losses occurred on the
road and the road has not been
very kind to the Bulls this
year Last year in the CIAA
tournament the Bulls loss at
the final buzzer to Norfolk
State College.
This season Coach Joe
Alston has experience depth
and tournament exposire and
should go further than he
did a year ago.
George Cooper, the 6-8
forward center from
Syracuse, New- York, is the
leading Smith offensive
threat, averaging better than
22 points a game
He receives support from
James "Twiggy,’ Sanders
Robert Lewis, and Willie
Joplin. Eric Polite is the
Golden Bulls floor leader. He
is backed up by Derrick
Wallace.
•The turnovers in recent Bull
outings are a result of the run
and shoot style of play in the
CIAA. An amazing fact is that
the Bulls won three games
while committing 36-39 and 46
turnovers.
Losing the ball that many
times without a shot may get
the team past CIAA opponents
but it will be a different story
in NAIA jolay.
Tin- Hulls u ill have to Tace,
either po' ’erful Gardner
Webb Col ege or nearby
Barber S :otia College of
Concord if i plans to advance
to the final i in Kansas City.
If they rr ake 20 turnovers
against those teams they’ll
have a job :ut out for them.
