SDOflJ M in BILL JOHNSON TELLING IT LIKE IT REALLY IS. Donald Littlejohn, a fantastic young man who happens to be a super athlete and topflight golfer, finished sixth among the area’s top 50 golfers in the first Metrolina Golf Tournament last week. Played at Pawtucket in frigid weather that made the tough terrain of Pawtucket even more difficult to conquer, Littlejohn led the field through the first 31 holes. However, a double bogie, bogie, bogie, bogie and a par over the last five holes edged him out of the leadership position. Odell Sarters Jr., who won sixth place in this %ear's Westinghouse Open Golf Classic at Treasure Lake, also played well in the 36-hole Metrolina tournament. Shaw University, which is faring poorly on the football field this season, lost its forfeit claim against Knoxville College. According to an official of the NCAA, Knoxville was awarded the victory of a game that was scheduled to have been played in Knoxville, Tenn. on September 10. The problem arose over a contract dispute on the starting time of the game. Look for Muhammad Ali to star in an upcoming television special. We say, “star in,” because ole Motor Mouth is not widely known for accepting supporting roles in anything. Checking the “game results since 1923” in the impressive S.C. State Football 1977 press bro chure reveals that S.C. State has not faced Winston-Salem State on the gridiron. Therefore, the Second Annual Gold Bowl, which pairs these two giants ot black college football, assumes greater interest and appeal. Imagine the matchup of superstars Timmy Newsome of Winston-Salem State and Ricky Anderson of S.C. State. Both are members of the exclusive 1,000 yards rushing club. A native of Kingsland, Ga., the 215-pound Anderson is the first Bulldog to surpass the coveted mark in 81 years. Shaw University will combat Livingstone in Raleigh Saturday afternoon without their ace quarterback CCecil Alexander) and their talent ed receiver (Bob Darden). Both have been suspended by coach Horace Small. The MEAC officials will have a touch decision to make at their annual “Coach of the Year” selection meeting. Ed Wyche, who turned the football program around at Delaware State, should earn a lot of votes. However, the feeling here is that the honor will again go to Willie Jeffries of S.C. State. Bob Hayes, who brought Winston-Salem back from a 4-6 season last year to an undefeated 10-0 mark this season, has no competition in the CIAA “Coach of the Year” voting. Clarence “Bighouse” Gaines, the aging genius who has developed numerous great basketball players during his long years of service at Winston-Salem State, has found yet another player who will create more than mild excite ment in CIAA basketball circles this winter. The lad is 6’1” freshman guard Kenneth Nicholson. “We knew Nich could play. He did a good job of creating things which is what a point guard must do,” is Bighouse’s appraisal of his gifted athlete following his first performance last week. 1 A&T Sets Blue-Gold Game For Saturday Greensboro-North Carolina A&T State University will tip off the 1977-78 basketball cam paign with the annual Blue Gold intra-squad basketball game on Thursday, November 17 in Moore Gymnasium on the A&T Campus. The game will start at 8 p m. General Admission tickets are on sale for $1 while student tickets are being sold for twenty-five cents. Gene Littles, The first year Aggie coach, will have an abundance of talent on hand to improve on last season's dis mal 3-24 overall record. The most prominent figure in the A&T attack is that of 6-6 guard James "The Bird” Spa rrow, who was named to se veral All-American teams as well as being cited as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Confer ence's MVP during the 1975-76 season. Sparrow, who sat out all of last year with academic pro blems, averaged better than 21 points, six assists, and five rebounds a game two seasons aeo. “The last few days of prac tice have been encouraging and eventually we will be working together well as a unit,” said Littles, a former standout with the Carolina Cougars and Kentucky Colo nels of the American Basket ball Association. “Sparrow, transfer forward Marvin Brown, and L.J. Pip kin have been looking sharp and have been picking up our offensive and defensive plays.” “It will probably take a little longer for some of our fresh man players to adjust not only I -v NJ — V James Sparrow Returns to Aggies to our system but to college life in general." The Aggies will again be faced with a stiff schedule which opens on December 1 against the University of Cin cinnati. Other prominent op ponents for the 77-78 season include Cleveland State, Vir ginia Commonwealth, Univer sity of Tennessee at Chatta nooga, and Fairleigh Dickin son University. Florida A&M May Scrap Famed Grid ClaHHic TALLAHASSEE, FLA Florida A&M is thinking about scrapping its traditional Or ange Blossom Classic game in favor of getting into small college, post season playoffs, says Rattler football coach Rudy Hubbard . ...

What's safe, and what's not? Well, spray can products made with fluorocarbons may soon go the way of DDT. but not popular spray paints. They're okay! Nearly 97% of spray paints are made without the fluoro carbon gases suspected of damaging the Earth's vital ozone layers. Some brands, like Krylon. began phasing out the chemical as earlv as the -_ 1960's and are now 100% fluorocarbon-free. Push-button paints, once a curiosity, have become an indispensable flx-up tool for the avid do-it-yourselfer. Even all-thumbs types, who formerly avoided a paint brush like the plague, have been converted by the ease and convenience of spray painting. Consider this quick check list of spray paint pluses: • Requires virtually no skill or technique to use! • Eliminates the mess, mixing, and clean-up asso ciated with brush painting! • Makes possible unusual decorative effects-ralnbow designs to subtle color gradations-hard to obtain with a brush! • Can be finger-touched within five minutes and dries hard within two hours! •Gets into tight, small areas that escape ordinary brushwork wicker chairs. iron railings, louvered shut ters', etc.! • Oives smooth, even fin ishes free of brushmarks! • Easier to apply to metals and plastics than conven tional brushwork! • As economical as brush painting—sometimes even less expensive!
