contests, six with MEAC schools and three major
independents. Basketball fans in the Greensboro
area are eagerly awaiting the topflight cage
attraction at the Greensboro Coliseum on
Thursday night, October 14. That’s the night the
Buffalo Braves of the NBA, with the high-scoring
Greensboro native Bob McAdoo, will clash with

Did you know th&t the NCAA dictates that a
football team may begin its pre-season prac
tice on any one ot tnree days?
--The 19th day before the first scheduled
intercollegiate games.
—The 22nd day before the next-to-last Saturday in
September; or
--That date which will permit a maximum of 29
“practice opportunities” prior to the first
scheduled intercollegiate game. Sundays do not
count toward the preseason conditioning quota.
J.C. Smith will have only 16 days to get ready
for Lenoir Rhyne.

football Drills Begin
McGirt To Greet 150 Golden
Bulls Here Sunday Afternoon
It's back to the grinds of
pre-season workouts for coach
Eddie McGirt and his Johnson
C. Smith University staff
McGirt expects 150 candi
dates for the Golden Bull
football team to report to the
westside campus Sunday af
ternoon. Following the initial
team meeting at 1 p.m., the
veteran mentor will conduct
an orientation session which
will be followed by physical
examinations.
The first workout is schedu
led for Monday morning at 6.
McGirt will whip his players
in shape with three drill daily
during the first week, working
out at 6 a.m., 9:30 a m., and
3:30 in the afternoon. This
routine will be reduced to only
one drill a day when school
opens.
"I am glad the CIAA coach
es thought enough of us to vote
us No. 1.” McGirt beamed
Monday morning. “However,
as you well know, ratings of
this nature can be a real
challenge. We'll do our best to
hang in there and try to earn
the honors of being the best
team in the conference."
McGirt will face one of the
toughest group of opponents
ever to appear on a Golden
Bull schedule with what ap
pears to be one of the most
promising squads, in J.C.
Smith history.
He lost only one player from

the defensive unit and just
three from the offensive team
that posted an 8-3 record and
finished second to Norfold
State in the CIAA race a year
ago
McGirt anticipates some
mild problems in replacing
James Johnson, who held
down the defensive end posi
tion a year ago But he feels
that the loss, of quarterback
James Widetnan. offensive
tackle Linwood Spindle and
guard Greg Smith will not
create any serious headaches.
Mel Samuels and James
Smith likely will head the
battling for Spindle's position.
Samuels is 6-2 and 250 lbs.
while Smith stands 6-3 and
weighs 255. Some surprises
• ~U 1 m 1 1 -n
are likely to surface at quar
terback, where Curtis John
son, Wayne Banks and Haskel
Patton will be fighting to win
uie starting berth. Each had a
good spring, according to Mc
Girt.
The Golden Bulls squad is
reking with ALL-CIAA pros
pects Ernest Williams, the
hard-running halfback, heads
the list. The 5-11, 190 pound
Junior has been rated on some
pre-season All-American lists.
Fleet Herb Carmichael, the
punt return specialist who
moonlights at the running
back position, is almost cer
tain to earn all conference
status, along with tight end
Bill Richardson and center
Chick Grimsley.
McGirt, who is starting his
19th season with the Golden:
Bulls, also likes what he sawj
of fullbacks Jesse Butts. Rob
ert Pinckney and Reggie
Sanders in spring practice.
“Either one of these boys can
be all-conference," he explai
ned.
The J.C. Smith head coach,
w ho also serves as the school's
director of athletics, views
Virginia Union, Virginia
State, Livingstone, Fayette
ville and Winston-Salem as the
"real conference toughies on
the Golden Bulls Schedule."
He opens the season with
Lenoir Rhyne College in Mem
orial Stadium on Saturday
night, September 11.

Hawks Drop Two Of Three
r
Games To Norwood, Bummers
The Charlotte Hawks, need
ing two w ins to cinch a spot in
the Triple County Semi-Pro
Baseball League champion
ship playoffs beginning next
weekend, lost two of three
encounters last weekend
Manager Walter “Dub"
Cuthbertson's outfit managed
a split with the Norwood Jets
in a doubleheader played at

defeated, 11-7, by the Char
lotte Bummers Sunday after
noon.
After losing, 13-10. to Nor

wet grounds, the Hawks blast
ed pitchers Johnny Wilson and
Bob Harris for 15 basehits and
as many runs for a 15-2

second contest.
Roosevelt Davis led the way
with a triple and a double

The Hawks proved no match
for the fast-charging Bum
mers Sunday afternoon After
picking up seven runs in the
first inning on the heroics of
Roosevelt Davis and David
Mobley. Cuthbertson's crew
became the victims of an
outstanding pitching perfor
mance by Melvin Latta. who
also set the pace on offense for
the winners
Latta relieved Larry Callo
way in the first and held the
hard-hitting Hawks scoreless
on four hits the rest of the way.
Latta got the Bummers back
in contention with a bases
loaded homerun in the third
inning. The Bummers cr<-(
closer with three tallies in the
fifth for a 7-all deadlock
Again it was Latta who de
livered the damaging blow - a
single that sent two runners
fleeing home
The Bummers wrapped-up
the triumph with a four-run
outburst in the seventh.
Cuthbertson said he would
pitch Clawson against Albe
marle Saturday afternoon in
the team's final game at
Southside A victory would
give the Hawks'the northern
division title over the Kings
Mountain "A's”. However, a
defeat would make it neces
sary for the Hawks to travel to
Bisco Sunday afternoon for a
'makeup” game with the
Chargers.
