sDoru Deal HY BILL JOHNSON SAY YOU SAW IT HERE... Look for the official word that Jerry Fitch will not return to Johnson C. Smith University as head basketball coach this fall. Word is out that Mike Turner is being interviewed and likely will become the new Golden Bulls basketball coach. William Joiner, the Winston-Salem native who starred during Joe Alston’s era, is also being considered for the post. HOW ABOUT THIS - Researchers are saying your sex life improves during bad weather. If thfere is a measure of truth in the prediction, the good folks around Lake Norman can expect a population explosion in about nine months. Leon Spinks, who didn’t own an automobile before he defeated Muhammad Ali for the World’s Heavyweight Championship, now has three expensive cars in his garage. It’s ironic that Mr. Spinks does not have proper driver’s licence no proper license plates for either of his wheels. Muhammad All, who is a genius at coining phrases, has come up with I believe to be his best yet. In reference tc> his next fight with Spinks, the great one intoned, “I’ll whup his tail if he stays out of jail!” * Dr. Walter Lavett will bring his Hampton Pirates to town next September 23 to meet the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith in a top CIAA football attraction at Memorial stadium. It will be the second of two appearances the new look Pirates will make in the area this fall. They tangle with Winston-Salem State in Winston Salem on September 9. Both are night games. Incidentally, Lavett’s Hampton team will return 39 lettermen and they are a prime candidate for the CIAA championship this season. s. uinciai now, uinia ana IN.U. A&T will stage their basketball classic at the Coliseum here January 23. It’s a sure sellout. Amazing what a little success will do. For example, the San Francisco Giants, who lost most of their close followers when they got rid of Willie Mays and the other old line stars of some years back, are back on the winning circuit with a cast of new heroes and their fans around the nation are forming long lines getting back on the bandwagon. As a most loyal Giants fan, this reporter heads the list. Peggy Beckwith, a great deal with a unique flair for doing the right things, will make an announcement shortly that will put local golf fans on cloud nine. Speaking of golf, William Gill was among the local golfers looking for a match at Crystal Springs Golf Course Sunday afternoon. Could it be that Gill’s game is so good that his regular playing partners are avoiding him? Sign in a local loan office window reads “for the man who has everything and hasn’t paid for ~TTTT~ . ACCOLADES OF THE WEEK - To Rev. Robyn Gool, who advanced to the semi-finals of the Charlotte City Tennis Tournament here last week...And to Robert Morris, who is playing great golf (for him) in recent weeks. Despite the short routes and quick cures, there’s no easy way to anything that’s worth while. George Adams, former basketball great at Gardner-Webb is the new program director for the Kings Mountain Parks and Recreation Department. In my opinion, Atlanta may have plucked a gerp with its selection of Howard University’s Gerald Glover in the sixth round of Che recent NBA College draft. Glover was tne most valuable player in the MEAC last year. He most likely will become an instant hit with the Hawks fans. UNCC will have its first full time trainer and baseball coach Saturday, July 1. He’s Gary Bartley, 27-year-old native of Fort Matilda, Pa. Did you know that former major leaguers Eddie Stanky, Robin Roberts, Harry “The Hat” Walker, Jack Lambe and Ron Maestri are all coaching college baseball? They are all in the Sun Belt Conference. According to Spencer Haywood, the famed pro basketball star, the definition of a “superstar” is a man or woman who is raising six kids on $150 bucks a week and teaching them good values. I’ll buy that! Dub Cuthbertson, popular manager of the Charlotte Hawks, will take an all-star team to the North Carolina Invitation Semi-Pro Baseball Tournament in Lenoir, beginning July 13. Made up of standouts from the Triple County league, the team will compete with 10 other teams for the — crown I <ennir Sur-Rak-has won for three straight _ Cleveland Steele, an outfit out of Rowan County, has been tabbed as the “teem to beat1 this year. At this early date, it is becoming more apparent that no one is going to catch the Mecklenburg Orioles in the chase for the Jackie Robinson Semi Fro Baseball League champion ship. Minnie Mendoza's great crew is cruising along with an impressi ve 20-1 r' “ord to date ^ _ Thursday .
