TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.
\
Bystanders are those who can do the lob
better... 1
..All my life I’ve wanted to play golf like the
pros...Now I do! After watching Don January
struggle through the final five holes in the Doral
Open on television Sunday, I finally realized that
here’s a professional I could whip.
..Look for the CIAA to accept the applications
for membership of Federal City and Barber
Scotia at their annual Spring Meeting later this
month. The feeling here is that Barber Scotia
would immediately become one of the confer
ence’s most popular basketball powers...
. .There is more than a bit of humor in the recent
job titles changes. Imagine calling a “bus
boy”....A dining room attendant! Do you know
what a gentleman’s attendant is? No, not pretty
girls, silly. A gentleman’s attendant is the new
name for a valet. Be careful when you make your
next visit to your seamstress. She is now known
as a “custom sewer.” My custom sewer has
shortened my pants. RIGHT ON!
. .ANYTHING UNUSUAL? Here’s one about the
student who was half an hour late reporting for
school. “You should have been here at nine
o’clock,” admonished the teachers in question
ing his tardiness. “Why?” came the quick
answer, “What happened?”
. .Add a “Black Freestyle Skier of the Year” to
your list of sports heroes. The newest of the black
superstars is Teoshean Hyde, a Chicago student
who scored a near-perfect point tally in the
competition at Sun Valley last week.
. .Bill Ward and Manny Clark will again handle
the mike assignments in WGIV’s annual cover
age of the Kemper Open golf tournament. This
marks the seventh consecutive year this popular
duo has worked the event.
. .The NAACP will sponsor a Celebrity Pro and
Amateur Open Golf Tournament in Washington,
D. C. the weekend of June 27. The meet, which
will be played on the Langston Course, will have
^three playing categories including professional,
Jour flights for men and three for women.
..Are you aware of the fact that Jim Dent
caddied in the Augusta Masters Golf Tourna
ment for eight years prior to turning pro?
..Edmond Wyche Jr., a former Florida A&M
football hero, has been appointed head football
PAfirk of riolniifnHn n.ll a
.......- assistant to
William “Dick” Price at Norfolk State last year,
Wyche replaces Arnold Jeter, the Hornets’ head
coach since 1967.
..Dick Price says he’s “pretty well satisfied”
with the results of his Norfolk State team’s
spring practice session which ended last week.
Price, who has 39 returnees from last year’s 8-3
CIAA championship eleven, also said he was
“pleasantly surprised” by 12 of the 20 candidates
who reported for the workouts.
..Credit Muhammad Ali with another great
statement. Following some opposition to his
plans to donate part of his purse from each fight
to charity, the heavyweight champion uttered,
“Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But
wars on poverty are fought to map changes.”
..SUDDEN THOUGHT - Self control is a virtue
that individuals recommend to their friends.
And you’d do well to watch out for school
children — especially if they’re driving.
..Kenny Powell will take his Johnson C. Smith
University track squad to the South Carolina
State College Invitational Track and Field Meet
in Orangeburg this weekend. Trials are sche
duled for Friday afternoon and Saturday morn
ing. The finals will be held Saturday afternoon.
..Homer Davis (center), captain of the Ala
bama A&M University Bulldogs, receives
from W. Levis Prather, public relations
assistant, Public Relations Department of
The Coca-Cola Company, the Most Valuable
Player trophy for his outstanding perfor
mance in the recent Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SIAC) basketball tour

and his team also received top honors in the
tournament by winning the championship
game over Miles College by a score of 76 to 64.
The SIAC awards were sponsored bv Coca

A&T Unveils
Bust Of
Ellis Corbett
Greensboro ~ Ellis ('orbed
wasn’t at the dedication Sun
day. but you got the feeling
that he somehow had a hand in
seeing that his big day came
off so well.
The sunshine was just right
and the throng of A&T State
University students, faculty
members., politicians and
members of his national frat
ernity gathered beneath two
stately pine trees on the cam
pus. would certainly have de
lighted him..
.At any rate, the unveiling of
a bust of Corbett by the
Omega Psi Phi fraternity cli
maxed a two-day memorial'
period for their former na
tional president.
Sculpted ,by local artist.
Ogden Deal, the likeness was
unveiled by Corbett's daugh
ter. Mrs. Thomasine Gant of
Greensboro, and received for
the university by Dr. Lewis C.
Dowdy, chancellor of A&T.
..''Ellis enjoyed life and he
expected all men to enjoy
life,'' said Chicago Judge.
Marion W. Garnett, who now
heads the 40.000-member na
tional fraternity. "He never
tried to be great and that's
what made him great."
.. Dowdy called Corbett, for 20
years public relations director
at A&T. "an advisor and
maker of college presidents."
.."Mr. Corbett was impatient
with mediocrity." said
Dowdy, “but had a tremend
ous love for students. He must
have had 50 students in his
unofficial family.”
. .The unveiling litany was led
by the Rev. Carlton Morales,
pastor of the Episcopal
Church of the Redeemer and
presentation of the bust was
made by Thomas McFadden,
president of the local Omega
chapter.
