- I — I I l* YOU ASK ME. • Picking a winner in the famed CIAA Basket ball Tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum next weekend is about as difficult as finding a bargain at a Dollar Dav Sale, j-.One’s initial impulse is to go out on the limb with Norfolk State’s colorful Spartans, who wrapped up the northern division title with little difficulties. It must be remembered, too, that the Spartans have walketl away from the Greens boro dome w ith three titles iii the past four years-. The Virginia school has dominated the tourna ment since ltt«8. They won championships in ‘74, ‘72, *71. ‘68. & ‘65 and they finished second in ‘73, ’6» & ‘66. That’s brilliant achievement in any league. ..Norfolk’s brilliant credentials, notwithstand ing, this corners sort of like Winston-Salem State’s unpredictable Rams, who have been unbeatable down the home stretch. Clarence "Bighouse” Gaines’ young crew won eight straight contests enroute to the southern division championship. This tremendous upsurge gives me irciuij; mai mgnouse is on me way back to the lofty perch he once enjoyed as the kingpin of CIAA basketball. ..Bighouse has not made a significant showing in the big dribble derby since 1970 when he whipped Maryland State in that memorable overtime contest that is listed among the great games of a meet that is infested w ith outstanding contests. . .That victory gave Bighouse his sixth title since 1953, and the honor of being the only cage taskmaster with as many championships. ..Gaines is as crafty as a riverboat gambler when the tournament chips are down. He has a fine crew of horses, led by Thomas Paulin, Don Helton. Carlos Terry, James Pegues and Stenson Conley. Paulin, who was corralled by the great Cleo Hill, is the most dangerous of the Rams with an impressive 21 -point scoring average. Charlotte Don Helton, is an army veteran who has a shooting consistency of 14 points and Terry has been rougher than an uncontrolled ocean wave off the boards with 14 rebounds a game. ..That’s a powerful lot of ammunition for a coach so tourney-wise as Bighouse. ..Johnson C. Smith has the tools to become a nemesis. Jerry Fitch has the great George Cooper, who leads the conference in individual scoring and is second in individual rebounding. The Golden Bulls, however, have shown very little organization during one of their 'worse campaigns in recent history and it is felt here that Cooper can no( do it all by himself. ..This reporter places FJlizabeth City in the “sleeper” category. ABOUT OTHER THINGS. ..Coach Willie Jeffries has signed 20 football players for the 1975 South Carolina State College football team. Three Charlotteans, — Walt Sullivan, Thomas O’Leary and David Brown — v i ru vviiu miiiuiu mane me Bulldogs one of the most powerful teams in small college football. ..Donnie Roberts, the St. Paul's College sharp shooter, has wrapped up individual scoring honors for CIAA cagers. Roberts is averaging 26.6 points a game, slightly more than a point more than George Cooper, who has been sensa tional this campaign for Johnson C. Smith. Cooper’s scoring consistency is 25.4. ..Norfolk State in the North and Winston-Salem State and J. C. Smith in the south have cinched berths in the 30th CIAA Basketball Tournament l^ireensborti^icxtjveekem^^^^^^^^^^^^ .
