They, however, continue to fall before teams in their own Triple County Semi-Pro Base ball League with unusual reg ularity.

CMS Vice President and General Manager H.A. (Hum py) Wheeler, drivers Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, James Hylton, Skip Manning and Richard Childress, along with car owner Glen Wood, met for over four hours Tuesday (July 19) to work on the purse structure for the NAPA Na tional 500. Several other driv ers and owners were invited to jojj^to^n^etin^bu^^^not attend. “We felt we had invited a representative group of re sponsible participants to as sist us in formulating the purse for the NAPA National 500,” Wheeler said, “and the informal meeting developed into one of the most meaning ful sessions I’ve ever partici pated in. I think we all came out of the meeting knowing that we had accomplished a great deal. “Not only did the partici pants become more familiar with the intricacies of promot ing a major event," he added "but Charlotte Motor Speed way certainly gained a greai deal of fresh' insight on th< needs and desires of drivers and car owners.” 16-12 overall. Town And Country Ford lost both starts in the invitational tournament in Lenoir. "The game was nip-and tuck most of the way,” Cuth bertson explained the loss to T&C Monday afternoon, add ing "They picked up five runs in the second inning, but we got back in the game in the next three innings. Then we fell apart again.” Cuthbertson said Minnie Mendoza poled a bases loaded double to “blow the game open.” Mendoza added a sin gle for (wo of the eight hits T&C garnered off the pitching of three Hawks hurlers. Pete Blasingame was the starter and loser. Kerry Carrouthers and Leron Dunham also went to the mound for the losers. Nate Lewis led the Hawks attack with a three-for-four day. It was the second fruitless effort the Hawks have staged against the league leaders. The Hawks will travel to the Charlotte Raiders Saturday afternoon for a league contest if they are eliminated from the North Carolina Invitational Tournament in Lenoir Thurs day night.

This season under Head Coach Jim McKinley, the Ag gies will be as quick as part teams but will have some size to go with that quickness. Heading up a talanted de fensive line is 6-6, 265 (pound) Virgin Islander Lucien Nibbs. Nibbs was a first All-MEAC selection last season and the higher lineman is destined for even higher honors this sea son. Also returning is Mutual Black Network All-American Defensive end Dwaine “Pee Wee” Board. At 6-4, 240 pou nds, Board a junior, has been shifted to a linebacker to take advantage of his speed and ability to cover large areas in Other changes expected to strengthen the Aggie defense include 6-4, 245 ALL-ME AC honorable mention tight end Coy Holland, a sophomore, moving to a defensive tackle position and 6-3, 240 pound, junior George Small moving from offensive tackle to line backer. “All of these players are very talented and it is just a matter of time before they adjust to their new positions.” Coach McKinley said. “I have always been a believer in size on defense. It makes it diffi cult for the quarterback to throw over their outstretched arms." The Aggies will begin pre paration for the 1977 football season on Saturday, August 13.
