— i o r 11. • There is a stranger on top of the CIAA football standings this week. Perched happily above such conference grid powers as Norfolk State, Virgi nia Union and Johnson C. Smith, Hampton Institute is indeed in strange territory. Very few, if any of the conference experts can remember when the Pirates from the Hampton rRoads Port of Embarkation have jumped off to such an impressive start, and it appears that coach Walter Lovett and his young charges are not about to relinquish their firm hold of the top position. In winning their first four starts, Lovett’s Pirates have produced 114 points while holding their opponents to a mere 38. John Marshall’s Virginia State Trojans are w also surprising a lot of people. The Trojans have - racked three straight loop victories to stay in close contention with a slight advantage over defending champion Norfolk State and perennial runner-up Virginia Union. ** o uiumtij uiai uuxui^uu omim, a neavy pre-season favorite, will get back in the race. The Golden Bulls have successive setbacks to Virginia Union and Hampton for a 0-2-0 record to date, with conference games left to play against Livingstone, Shaw, Winston-Salem State, Fa yetteville State and Virginia State. The area College football menu is tempting this weekend. Virginia State and North Carolina : Central will clash over in Durham in an afternoon game while Livingstone hosts Win . ston-Salem State in an important CIAA football contest in Salisbury. Johnson C. Smith will journey to Orangeburg. S.C. to test South :Carolina State’s fired-up Bulldogs. The big gie will be staged in Greensboro Saturday night when tough Norfolk State, with the very talented Steve Graeff as quarterback, clashes with •Ellsworth Turner and the Aggies of North Carolina A&T State. Did you ever wonder why the local golfers play better (always under par) at the local bars than they do on the golf courses? And if you’re wondering why talk is so cheap-; it’s because the supply is greater than the demand! The people who keep track of statistics in the National Football League occasionally come up with some very interesting figures. According to the latest reports, special teams were on the 1 field 5,313 of the league’s total of 27,269 plays in 1975. That’s 20 percent of the time...Wonder what the high salaried boys think of that? There are also reports that 154 athletes from black colleges are piaying iooiDan in me Nr \L. Livingstone’s running back John Lucas car ried the football an unbelieveable 40 times in the Blue Bears’ 29-14 victory over Maryland Eastern Shores week before last. That must be a CIAA record for the most times carried in a single contest. A&T football star, Dexter Feaster entertains hopes for returning to Charlotte after graduation to work in the city’s Department of ; Recreation. The clever wide receiver, who is i among the best on the gridirons, is also very good in the classrooms, having maintained a* “B” average as a physical education major. Remember Eddie Martin, the popular former basketball coach at S.C. State? Currently serving as head football coach at Tennessee State, Eddie will be inducted in A&T’s Sports Hall of Fame, Friday, October 29, along with Bert Piggott, Julius Martin and Tom Conwav. It’s about time we pull the old crystal ball out of the closet and give our impression of the winners in Saturday’s football game involving blffck colleges in the area. We believe S.C. State’s defense will prove too strong for J.C. Smith and that A&T will outscore Norfolk State in a close game. The N.C. Central-Virginia State clash is a tossup, but we like the Eagles who are playing in Durham. Look for Fayetteville to maul S. Paul’s and Howard to do the same to Delaware State. Morgan will score as it pleases over UMES and Livingstone will defeat Winston-Salem in Salisbury. 1 Sales - Service I Leasing I *73-*74-*75 Pre-owned f Cadillacs With Factory I 12,000 or 12 Month Warranty ----- — -r: #««.-. i, , 1 ^ In Orangeburg, S.C.

It will also bring together two teams that were rated as the teams to beat in their respective conferences long before the leaves start turning golden brown. However, the Golden Bulls have not lived up to their pre-season rating while, with the exception of a 1-point setback to North Caro lina A&T State University, the Bulldogs have been as good or better than expected.

In the same stanza, FSU called on the acurate toe of kicking specialist Highsmith, after a drive was stalled at the visitor’s 33. Highsmith re sponded immediately with a 43-yard boot to give the Bron cos a 10-2 halftime edge. In the fourth quarter the visitors got on the scoreboard by dumping FSU quarterback Carlos Bailey in the end zone for a two-point safety. The final score stood 10-2.

Hampton and A&T for'aln 0-2 CIAA record and 1-3 mark against all comers. Both teams are potent. The Golden Bulls are powered by the air game, paced by quarterback Curtis Johnson and wide receiver Demetrius Parker. Gerald Johnson is another top Golden Bull threat with the pass. Coach Willie Jeffries has indicated that he will start five sophomores on offense and, four seniors and a junior against J.C. Smith, a team South Carolina State whipped, 10-7, in Charlotte a year ago. The Bulldogs will be more seasoned on defense where the starting 11 will consist of six juniors and five seniors. The defensive-minded Bull dogs will open with sophomore David Brown of Charlotte at right guard on offense. Brown is 6’2”, 220-pounds. Walt Sulli van, another Charlotte native, is coming off the sick list and probably will be able to see some action in the game. Sullivan, 6-5, 290:pound defen sive tackle, has the potential to become one of the top linemen in the MEAC.
