sdohj DCfll By , BILL JOHNSON i SAY YOU SAW IT HERE.... ~*~r* * -vr-.,. U..-.,-^ The “Wise Guy” who is never wrong should be left alone. There is a bright spot at Johnson C. Smith. It can be found in the last half of the Golden Bull football schedule where, with the exception of Virginia State and Fayetteville, coach Eddie McGirt will be facing teams that are on the bottom half of the CIAA standings. McGirt and his men will start the long road back to respectability against Livingstone Col lege in the first “Bicentennial Football Classic” here Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium. Then, in successive weeks, they will encounter Shaw, Winston-Salem State, Fayetteville State, > North Carolina Central and Virginia State. N.C. Central is non-conference, but considering the currently weakness of three of the five remain ing teams, it would appear that the Golden Bulls have an excellent opportunity to finish the campaign with a 5-2 conference record. A «At. -■ • . . . . ruuiuugn neuner side owns an impressive record, the contest between Johnson C. Smith and Livingstone should prove toplight with the Blue Bears testing their stout defense against the Golden Bulls’ speedy offense. However, the majority of the CIAA attention will be focused on Hampton, Va. where the - league-leading Pirates of Hampton Institute will host the second-place Spartans of Norfolk State College. Another headliner of considerable inte rest in the MEAC clash between South Carolina State and Morgan State in Baltimore, Md Saturday afternoon. SCSC needs the triumph to stay in contention for the conference champion ship. A Morgan victory would erase all of SCSC’s hopes for the title. tFAII Itmaiii fltnf iLn-- 1__1 -- J Miv V/ppUOlklUll 11 c&o acui cu only 21 points against South Carolina State this season? The Bulldogs, who are looking at three local high school students for future prosperity, have blanked three of their first five opponents. ...Or that if it was the fashion to go naked, the face would be hardly observed. Now you know! Michael Holmes, a graduate of Hampton Institute, has replaced William Partlow as head basketball coach at Benedict College in Colum bia, S.C.^ A native of Gastonia, Partlow is a former Golden Bull basketball standout. Hampton’s road to its first CIAA football championship in, over 30 years is paved with slippery ice. In addition to the important meeting with Norfolk State Saturday, the Pirqtes have headknockers left with Virginia State and dangerous Virginia Unicnf Trfthe next six weeks. Pirates quarterback Russ Seaton has been on target with 40 of his first 84 passes this season for a highly respectable .476 percent accuracy rating. He has tossed for 737 yards and 12 touchdowns and has been intercepted only three times. He’s the CIAA’s total offense leader this week. An inhpritoH fnrti HIP ponuinnoc cnmo 1 that they are a little better than others. North Carolina A&T will introduce its 1976-77 basketball team to the press Thursday, October 14, with its annual “Photo Day” at the Greens boro Coliseum. f Aside to those who critizes Eddie McGirt’s coaching. You must remember that there are 330 college football games played each Saturday, and that there are 175 losers each week...Some lose because of team mistakes...others because of bad calls by the officials and some are simply overpowered by the opponents. The point I’m making is that McGirt’s record both in high school and college football speaks for itself. He’s rated in the upper echelon of active football coaches in the won and lost column. Let’s all go out Saturday afternoon and ROOT FOR THE GOLDEN BULLS! MTU W&2&W6F* - . . “BicenntennaU Cln*sir” Johnson C. Smith Hosts Livingstone Here Saturday The Golden Bulls of Johnso C.

One will be held at the Holiday Inn North and the other at the Charlotte Park Center. The football game promises excitement. Coach Eddie Mc Girt has put together one of the most explosive offenses ever at Johnson C. Smith and coach Baxter Holman is rated tops as a constructor of strong defenses. The Blue Bears were the total defense cham pions of the CIAA last fall. However, neither team is living up to preseason expec tations. Johnson C. Smith is currently 1-4 in all games and 0-2 in CIAA for a 7th-place rating among the conference’s 10 teams.

Livingstone's top threat is punt returns specialist Wil liam Williams, who has lugged 12 kicks 274 yards for a highly commendable 22.8 average. Senior Andrew Cooney com plements the Bears’ defense with his dependable kicking, having toed 17 kicks for an average of 36.9. The Bears have been most stingy on defense this season, allowing their first four oppo nents an average of only 146.5 yards in total offense. Johnson C. Smith, on the other hand, has been sputter ing on offense most of the campaign, dropping from first to third in this week’s rating of the top CIAA teams in total offense. The Bulls are averag ing 277.5 yards a game. Both teams are coming off shutout defeats. Livingstone was blanked 6-0 by Winston Salem State last week and S.C. State 'mauled the Golden Bulls, 27-0.
