WOULD YOU BELIEVE..,.
Some of my friends believe the reason it is
called "free trade" is because they do not have
to pay for the goods they get.
South Carolina State, which is enjoying amaz
ing success under head football coach Willie
Jeffries, has played before 49,060 paying specta
tors in five games this season,..Did you notice
(hat golfer Lee Elder of Washington, D.C.
attained the magic plateau of $100,000 in
earnings on the PGA circuit last weekend? He's
the first Black professional golfer to earn that
much money in a single season in PGA history.
South Carolina Stato has replaced North
Carolina Central as the total defense leader in
the MEAC. A&T continues to get the pace in total
rrffense with an average of 332.8 yards per outing.
But Mprgan State, which clashes with the Aggies
in Greensboro in the feature attraction of A&T's
annual homecoming festivities, is in close
pursuit.
ii you re still raving over the fact that Elder
has made $100,000 this year, take a few moments
out to consider that Arthur Ashe has pocketed
over $200,000 on the tennis circuit. Harvey
Heartley is currently working with over 60
candidates for the St. Augustine's basketball
squad.
Small wonder reporters and fans in the
Raleigh area are calling Him "the amazing Can
Green." Young Green, a slippery tailback who
formerly played wide receiver, has romped 1,226
yards in only 8 games while scoring 18 touch
downs this season.
Look for several Charlotte natives to get rave
notices when the basketball campaign gets
underway in the CIAA and the MEAC next week.
Everett Fulson is making joyful noises in the
Livingstone camp. A freshman, just out of
Independence High, Fulson is seeking a tall
forward position with the Blue Bears.
Ed Roper, who was a hotshot freshman a year
ago.js having a good camp at North Carolina
Central and should be a MEAC standout once the
shooting starts.
Joe Starks and Steve Cassell are expected to
get lots of playing time at North Carolina A&T.
Faith is what helps us to carry on in spite of
life's disappointments and regrets.
If you plan to attend the CIAA Basketball
Tournament in Hampton, Va. next February,
»ou should make $%ur housing reservations
eariy. ueianed intormation can, be obtained by
writing to: 1977 CIAA Basketball Tournament,
Department of Convention and Tourism, 413
Mercury Blvd., Hampton, Va. 23666.
North Carolina A&T's slick new basRutball
schedules have a picture of James "The Bh"d "
Sparrow on the front cover. Virginia Common
wealth, North Carolina State. Oral Roberts,
North Texas State and Fairleigh Dickinson are
the new teams on the schedule.
Dexter Feaster, the versatile A&T senior, has
added a new wrinkle to his football exploitations.
The Charlotte native, has hauled back punt and
kickoff returns for a 10.2 yard average. He has
also caught 25 passes for 482 yards and three
touchdowns. ^ ..
Word out of Southern University in Baton
Rouge, La., informs that the "CATS" are the
only major Black college football team in the
nation with an undefeated record
Had you thought of the fact that the best way to
rnuke a million bucks is to chew bubble gum,
wear sneakers and stand slightly over 6-feet-ll
inches tall.
The television football fare is most tempting
ι this weekend. Miami will attempt a comeback
.J^ainst the surprising New England Patroits on
channel 9 and channel 3 has a sizzling double
header featuring Minnesota against Chicago at
12:30 and Dallas against Washington around 4
o'clock.
North Carolina A&T expects more than 20,000
fans to turn out for their homecoming football
showdown with Morgan State Saturday after
noon. If the Aggies reach the figure, they
would have played to more than 75,000 spectators
this footbaH season.

George Works Is
. "Player Of Week"
By James Cuthbertson
Post Sports Editor
When you. see a job that
needs to be done, it usually
meïns work. Painstaking
work !
That is unless you can get
work out of work. And that is
exactly what Coach Herb Pat
tera of The North Mecklen
burg Vikings did with his 5'9"
169 pound flankerback last
Friday night.
Sixteen year old George
Works of Rt. 1 Box 54, David
son is a junior, who runs in the
backfield with such distin
guished people like Newton
Williams, Walt Rivens, Dennis
Baxter, Roosevelt Woodley,
Francis Forney and Ivan Mor
rison.
For his two touchdowns that
provided the margin of victory
in a-19-14 win over Indepen
Goode Has Most
Exciting Moment
Ask Donovan Goode what
was his most exciting moment
ever and he will tell you
"birth".
This is because the ever
happy go lucky track star for
the Golden Bull harriers val
ues living highly.
A look back -will show you
why.
Theslender handsome 6Ί"
185 pound son of Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar Goode of 15771 17th
Place Northwest in Miami,
Florida is tifie captain of the
track team and while other
sports are in progress he is
practicing and anticipating
for accolades under the warm
spring sun.
Donovan, who lives in Smith
Hall, played forward on the
basketball team, wide receiv
er on the football team, and
was a participant on the swim
ming team.
dence he is being honored as
the Charlotte Post's "Player
of the Week."
The son of Mr. and Mrs
George Works caught a 75
yard fullback option pass from
Newton Williams with 4:05
remaining in the first quarter
and a 13 yard pass from Can
later in the eame to bring the
Vikings to a 4-3 conference
and 5-3 overall record
Works, who also plays base
ball and wrestles, likes to
model himself after Orenthal
James 'O.J." Simpson, who is
his hero "because he has so
many moves."
Other stars of the week
include East sophomore line
backer-fullback Calvin See
gars whose 14 carries for 47
yards helped the Eagles beat
Myers Park 7-6 in a defensive
struggle...Eric Westbrook of
East who intercepted a Trey^
Safrit pass late in the game to
end the Mustangs hopes. Lar
ry Brown of Garinger who
gained 134 yards and a TD in
Garinger's upset over South .
Gerald Carr of North who
connected on 6 of 10 passes for

Bicentennial Homecoming
h AYETTEVILLE-When Ray
McDougal meets Tom Cald
well the stage is usually set for
a thrilling afternoon of college
football.
Fayetteville State Univer
sity, coached by Ray McDou
gal, will host Elizabeth City
Vikings tutored by Tom Cald
well. at the Bronco's October
30 Homecoming Affair.
Since McDougal became
head coach in 1970, he has only
defeated Tom Caldwell twice
in six tries.
Interestingly, all of the con
gests have either been their
-iwmecoming game date or the
Bronco's homecoming
In 1970 the Bronco's enter
tained Elizabeth City's home
coming. McDougal's grid-men
lost again 21-2.
The next season of 1972 that
the Broncos broke the Cald
well jmx by edging the Vikings
15-14 at FSU: a homecoming
game
What will this Bronco Home
coming game bring between
these two arch-rival sister
institutions'' Judging from the
past, the fans won't know until
the final minute of action or
maybe the final second
