snow DM MY MILL JOHNSON - LIKE IT REALLY IS. The fact that figures don’t lie is a good reason to stick to a diet. Enthusiasm is running high as the football coaches make camp at A&T, Winston-Salem State, Fayetteville State and S.C. State. Each reports their finest crop of candidates ever. Football coach Charlie Bates, who has utilized the wishbone offense so successfully at Southern University, will introduce the box veer formation this fall. According to Charlie, who is entering his 15th season at Southern University, the box veer is a two-back offense with three receivers which “provides greater flexability in running and passing.” •Words from Elizabeth City inform that the new head football coach Tommy Holmes of Elizabeth City is looking forward to the 1977 season “with guarded optimism.” 30 Vikings veterans and over 40 freshmen are expected to report to Holmes on August 17. A&T is making big plans for homecoming, scheduled for October 15. In addition to the usual hullabaloo, the university will honor its athletes of the past with the first of a series of programs, which, according to Hornsby Howell, “aim at strengthening the university’s alumni and gain ing support for various university endeavors.” Local golfers are shining up their clubs and sharpening their skills for the annual Par Buster Golf Tournament, which will be played at the Crystal Springs Golf Course on August 20-21. John Love and Robert Sanders have been named-chairmen of the popular event which annually attracts about 150 duffers, and several others who play just a little bit better. Entry fee is $35, including carts and green fees for the two days. There will be five flights and four trophies wil be awarded the first four top finishers in each flight. The second Triple County Semi-Pro Baseball League Championship Playoffs begins Saturday at Harding High School’s athletic field. Town & Country Ford and the dashing Morris Field Rangers, are the early, choices as the teams to beat. However, informed sources say the Char lotte Mets and the Charlotte Bombers have the ammunition to pull off some upsets. The feeling' here is that Morris Field will successfully defend its title. Accolades of the week go to Lloyd Harris for his determination and untiring labor in assuring the success of the West Charlotte Babe Ruth Baseball League this summer. Also because Mr. Harris honored this writer and politician Bob Walton with handsome trophies last week. List this reporter among those who do not agree with Hank Aaron, who blames players Rico Carty and La veil Blanks for the dismissal of Frank Robinson as coach of the Cleveland Indians. WBTV has scheduled the NFL pre-season football contest between the Baltimore Coltsand WBTV has scheduled the NFL pre-season football contest between the Baltimore Colts and the Houston Oilers for Sunday afternoon, start ing at 3:45 p.m. Dr. L. Walter Lovett expects over 100 players r^vhen the Hampton Institute football camp opens in Hampton, Va. Tuesday. 27 freshmen and about a dozen walk on candidates are included in the number which more than likely will be the largest football squad in Hampton history. Activities on the city’s 47 playgrounds will come to a close here Friday afternoon. “It’s been a great year,’’ echoes Robert Meachem, recrea tion supervisor. f _ Summer Tradition The last summer before senior year and graduation has traditionally been a time which most college students consider their test chance to relax before embarking on a career. Somev students spend their days at the lake or by the pool side, while others go camping or possi bly mountain climbing. This summer, over 6,000 young men and women from colleges and universities a cross the country are con tinuing another tradition. They’re involved In some similar activities but unlike their college counterparts, their goals differ. These college students are Army ROTC cadets at tending Advanced Camps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Fort Riley, Kansas and Fort Lewis. Washington. For five weeks the cadets are engrossed in field train ing which is designed to supplement their on-campus military science instruction and in turn instill individual leadership qualities. A daily test of endurance, agility perception and confidence, the cadets are challenged with some of the most ex hausting physical and men tal exercises. Advanced Camp is training these cadets to be leaders, because as Army officers, that will be their Job. Each cadet Is given an opportunity to demonstrate his or her leadership abilities. They are learning to lead by lead ing their peers. When the majority of these college students successful ly complete their summer training, they'll return to their campuses to conclude their studies. At graduation, along with their diplomas, they will receive the gold bars of second lieutenants. Some of these newly com missioned Army officers will complete their military obli gation in the active Army, while the remainder wllj spend three to six months on active duty for training and serve the country and their communities as members of the Army Reserve and the National Guard.
