BY 4 I BILL JOHNSON HB iBi I SAY YOU SAW IT HERE. What is most needed for learning is a humble mind. Now that Winston-Salem State and South Carolina State have officially cinched the football title in their respective conference, area fans will have to wait and see if the two teams will be paired in the annual Gold Bowl Football Classic in Richmond, Va. on Saturday, Decem ber 2. They will also have to wait to see if either Winston-Salem or S.C. State accepts a bid to another post-season bowl. Winston-Salem is hopeful of receiving a bid to the NCAA Division 11 Playoffs. The unbeaten Rams, one of the few remaining teams with €)lemished records, rest atop the division ndings this week and are most deserving of the honor. Participating in the NCAA Division 11 Playoffs would indeed be a great honor for coach Billy Hayes and his undefeated Rams. But, isn’t it about time black people develop the sophistica tion that would enable them to appreciate something of their own? The Gold Bowl, matching Winston-Salem and S.C. State would have great appeal to the general public in the vast area covered by both conferences. Certainly, the people of the electro nic media would jump for an opportunity to televise such an attraction and it would appear that this time around the Gold Bowl would attract more than 20,000 spectators. T *• 1 tt/VI <1/1 i V*ItO another great achieve ment for Bob Moorman, the friendly gentleman who has performed nu merous miracles with recent developments of the CIAA. An appearance by Winston-Salem in . ^ another bowl would most surely take away fc i|-om the overall special iBiUy Hayes [attraction of the Gold ...Winston Sale^f^lT Bowl. AndTif S.C. State should choose to turn its attention elsewhere, the GB would be lowered to . gnmpthing slightly more than a mere football exhibition between two also rans.> This should’t happen to a conference that has made such tremendous strides in recent times. Did you know that Bob Lanier has moved into the 35th position on the all-time NBA scoring list? With 13,649 points through games of October 29, Lanier is seventh among active players trailing Kareem Adbul-Jabber, Elvin Hayes, Gail Goodrich, Lou Hudson, Rick Barry, Walt Frazier, and Pete Maravich. You’ll be interested, also, in knowing that CKaI/Iavi Ckinm am 4Ua A**aa4 l<44lA nnik 4Ua V«at> M*MV V T» tM4 UJV UNCC 49ers a few years back, has joined the Livingstone College coaching staff as an assist ant to the basketball coach. A&T’s highly rated basketball team, which played its first intra-squad contest in Lynchburg, Va. last Saturday, has scheduled another pre season contest for November 17 in their new , facility on the Greensboro campus. Some people are inclined to quit looking for work the moment they find a job. A strong performance by Ted Brown in University Park, Pa. Saturday would determine if the flashy North Carolina State senior is going to be a serious contender for the Heisman’s Trophy. Ted, who ran for a school record 251 yards on 37 carriers against Penn. State a year ago, needs another exceptional day to capture coveted honor. Would you agree that Virginia Union has become one of the great disappointments of the current football campaign? Coach Willard Bail ey opened the season with an outstanding squad that was rated with the best in the league. According to a CIAA release, the football contest between Johnson C. Smith and N.C. Central, that was originally scheduled for November 4 and was changed to the 25 of November, has been cancelled winston-saiem, as expected, leads the confer ence in scoring with 290 points. According to Phil Busher, sports information director at J.C. Smith, the Pittsburg Steelers are interested in Grover Covington, the «’2", 225-pound senior who leads the team in individ ual tackles with 83 solos in eight games. Has the Hartley-Woods Gymnasium on the J.C. Smith campus been renamed? Recent releases from the westside campus list the facilities as the “Jack S. Brayboy Gymnasium.” .

Fayetteville State ranks third in team scoring offense (20.9 per game) in the CIAA while holding the third spot in team rushing defense allowing 109.7 yards per game. The Broncos are a balanced team. Coach Ray McDougal was forced to go with a new backfield due to injuries the past two weeks, but he surfac ed with an upset over Eliza beth City and a convincing win over Bowie State.

Freshman Bertie Wadford is second in the conference punting (be hind JCSU’s Cal GUI), Ronald Guion is third in punt returns while freshman WiUiam Hous ton has already kicked field goals from 40 yards out. Jun iors Hubert Williams and Wil lie Gray lead the tough defen sive line. Senior linebacker Ricky Furline displays great mobility and a nose for the ballcarrier.

Although, Smith's offense ran into a solid wall against the Rams, Carl Stroman con tinues to distinguish himself at his tight end spot.

Carl is one of the most versatile Smith athletes, leading the team in recep tions, second in scoring and is consistently one of the best kickoff and field goal kickers in the conference.

The collective talents of the unit are enough to make col lege and professional scouts squirm in their seats during football games. The offensive unit is headed by quarterback Don Davis who led the West Charlotte Lions to their first conference championship ever. In his backfield, he has a trio of swift running backs in North's Chris Cook, Myers Park's Curtis Wilson, and West Charlotte's Henderson Threatt. The receivers are Olympic's James Sanders and West Charlotte's Maurice Montgo mery, both of whom are dead ly. — "i inni i m Chris Cook Top running back Charles Beatty of Olympic is the center.

By his clothes, says Gentle men’s Quarterly's November issue. Wall Street types dress to remain anonymous-in suits, of course, completely impersonal, and never quite in style, according to GQ. In fact, you can pin down a New York man’s profession or neighborhood just by his clothes, says GQ, and proves it in “That New York Style.” For instance, while the Mad ison Avenue ad man is no longer stereotyped by a shark skin suit, he does dress to say, “I’m an ’up' person wearing up’ clothes on an ‘up’ day," writes GQ. This means a colorful, clean, somewhat san itized appearance just this side of avant-garde called the “height of inoffensiveness.’’ Soho residents look like they’ve just fallen out of bed and put on the first things handy, contends the maga zine.
