SMf ■DCfll BY BILL JOHNSON SAY YOU SAW IT HERE The good people over &t North Carolina A&T State University are greasing their publicity gears for the avalanche of adjectives necessary to better promote their football and basketball games next fall and winter.... Look for the local Par Buster Club to sjjonsor a Pro-Am Golf Tournament here this summer. Someone in the Greensboro area is bumping to good sounds these days. That's because last week thieves ransacked Robert McAdoo's spa cious home. The professional basketball star with the New York Knicks reports a loss in excess of $6,400 worth of stereo equipment. All who believe that the professional basket ball season and championship playoffs run too long, form a line to the right...Speaking of professional basketball, did you know that this year's playoff pool is worth a record $1,160,000. That's $150,000 more than last year's pool of $1,000,000. The winner of the championship series will get $150,000 and the runner-up will receive $100,000. Should the team with the highest percentage during the regular season go on to win the world championship series, it would receive $337,500 Muhammad Ali surprised no one last week when he announced plans to marry pretty Veronica Porsch in June SUDDEN THOUGHT...It never occurs to some that others havj* sense enough to manage their own affairs.

One of three schools placed on probation by the NAIA, Virginia Union is accused of "failing to file a required eligibility certificate and failing to participate in district basketball playoff games after indicating the intention to do so." I like this one! In a stirring talk that kept his Durham audience in stitches, John McLendon, fnmnpr iparher and head basketball coach at North Carolina Central and one of the finest gentlemen ever, recalled winning his first championship at what was then North Carolina College. Mac says he waited in the rear of the campus auditorium so that he could milk further cheers from the student body when he was introduced. As he walked down the aisle to loud » clapping, big John Brown pulled at his coattail and whispered, "When you get up there, coach, remember that great coaches are made by greal players!"
