TELLING IT LIKE IT IS. All of a sudden heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali isn’t talking like a champion. If quoted accurately last week, Ali’s statement that “a Black man should be killed if he’s messing around with a white woman” is pure bush league. It should occur to Mr. Ali that dating is an agreement between two indivi duals, therefore the choice is mutual consent rather than the color of one’s skin. Our sources in Hampton, Va. reports that more than 80 motels and hotels will provide housing and entertainment for the swingers who will attend the 1976 CIAA Basketball Tournament at the Hampton Coliseum next February. The price, they say. ranges from $11 to $35 per night, “depending upon the taste of the individual.” The Mutual Black Network’s rating of Black College football teams becomes more of a laugher each week. This week, for example, MBN rated S.C. State the nation’s No. 1 Black College Football team, placing the Bulldogs above such Black grid powers as Grambling, Bethune-Cookman, Southern and Jackson Sate. The rating is rather laughable when you consider the fact that S.C. is in second place in its own league. And, would you believe, MBN made Fayetteville State their choice for the No. 8 team in their top 10? Norfolk State listed in the No. 13 slot and Virginia Union was 15th. Perhaps MBN hadn’t notice that Norfolk State is an almost cinch to win the CIAA football championship for the second straight year and that Fayetteville State is out of the title picture and in fourth place in the current CIAA ct anHinrfc -Q- - Even more puzzling is the fact that Johnson C. Smith University, the nation’s hottest black college football team at the moment, was not listed among the top 20 teams. North Carolina Central, which leads the MEAC, was 12th. Sammy Davis Jr., who would rather be called a Jew than Black, has upped his Greater Hartford Open Golf Tournament to $200,000, making it one of the top 10 richest tournaments on the 1976 Pro Tour. It is also the premier annual sporting event in New England. Some ot the glamour has been rubbed off the head-to-head clash between Johnson C. Smith and Fayetteville State in Fayetteville Saturday afternoon. Since it appears that neither team has a chance to catch Norfolk State in the final weeks, the two teams will be battling more or less for the honor of winning. It should be a thriller, topped with the passing of James Wideman and the running of James Godwin. Wonder why there were no publicity given to the fact that coach Eddie Jackson was among the honorees at the recent J. C. Smith Home coming activities? Jackson, who was a great coach and one of the truly fine gentleman of the times. The Ole crystal ball hit its season’s peak last week with 10 out of 11, raising our season’s record to 52 right and only 7 wrong. J. C. Smith kept us from a clean slate with its tremendous upset over N. C. Central. This week we like Tennessee State to whip Virginia State and Grambling to lace Norfolk State by wide margins. J. C. Smith is too strong for Fayetteville State. Shaw should edge Win ston-Salem State and St. Paul’s is our surprised choice over Elizabeth CityTLivingstone will knock Virginia Union out of the CIAA champion ship race. N. C. Central will bounce back against Howard and A&T will nurse it wounds with * Delaware State. Bowie State will beat UMES and Morgan will get by Central State. Mack news is good news East Mecklenburg Star Elusive Fred Stitt Named “Player Of The Week” By Sidney Moore Jr Post Staff Writer Fred Stitt. The Charlotte Post Player of the Week ' SuFprrsed-himself and an-est imated 7,000 football fans with a 91 yard run on the opening kickoff for East Mecklenburg against conference rival North Mecklenburg This opening score gave the Eagles a 6-0 lead they kept until the fourth quarter of the game The final score was 20-15. a victory for East. Stitt also caught a 17-yard pass in the final scoring drive for East in the fourth quarter. The win puts East into the state 4-A Southwestern Con ference championship play offs The first game will be played in four weeks against Greensboro Page When Stitt caught that open ing kickoff Saturday night, he said he did not think he would go all the way. "I thought that they (North) would be downfield quicker than they were." Stitt said. —After running ahnm :tn yards, the six fool 170 pound left halfback knew he would make it into the end zone but was afraid a penalty might call the play back He was glad when the referee signaled a touchdown. Stitt said The senior has been playing since he was in the eighth grade but this is the first time he will_go to the champion ships. He would not make a prediction on the outcome of the first championship game, but said he hopes East can \ maintain the enthusiasm that gave East their winning edge against North. Stitt also praised the contri bution of offensive fullback and defensive line back Wally Schacht. a former Post "Player of the Week." made to the game. He said quarter back Hunter Hobbs also had "a good game Schacht led me Eagles offensively with t>7 yards rush ing and scored their second touchdown with a five yard run in the fourth quarter. Hobbs threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to split end Darrell Bartlett with a minute left to win the game.
