SENIOR ROBERT LEWIS
...Piunping in two points
Doss To Supervise
CIAA Officials
HAMPTON, VA.. Danny
Doss, a CIAA basketball offi
cial for the past 8 years, has
been named the leaeue’s su
pervisor of officials. It was
announced this week by CIAA
Commissioner, Bob Moor
man.
Doss. 47. has been a resident
of Chesapeake, Virginia for
past 13 years. After serving in
this area in the Navy he
retired in 1968 and continued
working for the Navy in a
civilian capacity. He has ex
perience in officiating both
basketball and football. He
started officiating in the Navy
and continu<*d through the
high schooi ranks and into the
CIAA.
''Doss feels that one weak
ness in the conference is that
there are too many officials.
They don’t get enough games
to call and they have not been
refereeing in teams enough.
Doss hopes to correct that
problem and feels that with
increased neutral observers
and the coaches ratings of
officials that the quality of
officiating will improve.
Moorman s selection of
Doss came as a surprise since
Doss had only come to Moor
man’s attention one month
ago at the CIAA Basketball
Officials Clinic.
“The clinician we had lined
up for the meeting was ill
and could not attend. With jusl
three days notice, Doss took
the job and showed great
leadership and skills,” state<
Moorman.
“That’s what really brought
him to my attention. The
respect he commanded from
the group is what I need in a
supervisor of officials,” he
continued.
Doss will begin his duties
immediately with the most
pressing order of business
being the upcoming basketbal
season. The season opens ir
less than three weeks. _

Bulls Impress Fitch In Blue - Gold Game
. By Arnett Barksdale
Post Staff Writer
Fitch would not comment on
exactly how they will go about
doing this but he did say that
the coaches see the rule "as
interpretational and we are
very optimistic about Lewis
playing.”
Lewis was not only an asset
in the scoring capacity for the
BuUs but his rebounding was
third in the conference. Whe
ther Lewis returns after Jan
uary or not rebounding will be
upheld by Leon Love, the
leading scorer in the Blue and
Gold Game, with 27 points.
Love, a 6’7” transfer student
from the University of Mary
land-who Fitch said is a
tremendous ball player, will
be eligible for the second
semester.
The four other starters this
season are Charles Stuart,
Robert Terry, Armendious A
dams, and freshman Sonny
Porter.
"Porter, I guess more than
any other one player looked
real good In the Blue and Gold
game. Porter is 5’U” from
Maryland, and will be starting
at guard.
With the Golden Bulls bas
ketball season just around the
corner, the Johnson C. Smith
University team playetj their
Blue and Gold game last
Saturday and coach Jerome
Fitch was impressed.
"We have quite a few areas
to iron out,” Fitch said, "but
all in all the game went quite
well and the squad played
good together as a unit.” -
From last year's team that
posted a 7-9 conference and a
13-14 over-all record that pull
ed the Bulls in fourth spot in
the Southern Division of the
CIAA, there are nine veterans
and nine new faces. The bulls
lost four senior^ last year.
The big question mark for
the Bulls is the eligibility of
their forward and leading sco
rer in the Conference Robert
Lewis. Although Lewis will
play the first semester there is
some doubt about his playing
after January because accord
ing to the conference rule his
eligibility will be up.
“We are now in the process
of making an appeal to the
officials of the CIAA to get
Lewis eligible the entire
year,” Fitch said.
The guard position is the
spot Fitch feels is most im
proved over last year.
“We moved the ball well las)
year,” Fitch said, "but w«
couldn't stop the opponent
from doing the same.”
“If we are to win we must
demoralize the other team or
offense and defense,” Fitcti
said.
L i
Fitch added that in the
Southern division Winston-Sa
lem and St. Augestine will be
the teams to beat. In the
Northern Division he predicts
the Trojans of Virginia State
to the real threat.
The Bulls first contest will
be against Belmont Abbey
next Saturday at the Charlotte
Coliseum.
