SDOil ί -Deal BY BILL JOHNSON rELLING ΓΓ LIKE IT REALLY IS Thanks to those of you who have called or written to lay you missed this corner last week. ..Well, here's rhat happened. First, my typesetter quit...Guess who tad to set type? Secondly, my circulation director went ut φ town and didn't inform anyone at the office of his eavnig...Guess who had to deliver the papers? Finally, turing all the hustle and bustle, I didn't pay the light bill in time....Guess who had to work for two days without ights? It's lots of fun being among the HAVE NOTS! That brings to mind the old adage which says "It's iard to miss your station in life because someone is sure ο tell you where to get off! Lots have happened during the interim. Would you elieve that Pittsburgh's wide receiver John Stallworth, /ho has played in the shadow of teammate Lynn Swann nee both were Steelers draft choices back in 1974, leads 1 AFC receivers with 620 yards on 34 catches? He's aly 178 yards shy of the 798 yards gained passing a year ;o and a mere 7 receptions short of the 41 catches he >corded in 1978. une οι me most important lesssons learned from Ed TooTall" Jones' second fight is that "Too Tall" is not ο tall to fall. In mv ODinion it would be a good idea if 'd call up the Dallas Cowboys' business office and formed them that he's ooming back home to reapply r hie defensive end position. In case you're interested, we'd like you to know that ere's a possibility of Norfolk State facing South irolina State in Gold Bowl III in Richmond, Va. a week om Saturday. According to Bob Moorman. Dopular immissioner of the Central intercollegiate Athletic isociation, Virginia Union is in line for a bid to the 2AA Division II Playoffs. Bob feels that Morgan ate, first-place team in the MEAC will also be mpeting in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. That tuld, of course, leave Bob and Ken Free, Commission of the MEAC, with the alternative of inviting the cond-place teams in their respective leagues to the ild Bowl. rhie time, in my opinion, they have a WINNER! nth Carolina State is one of the best football teams in ck college football and Norfolk State, with its great ense and the exciting LaRue Harrington, is not far fejpd....Incidentally, you can purchase your tickets mm Eddie McGirt, Athletic Director at Johnson C. Kith University. m new une οι sports snirts, sweaters, kmt tops and 1er wearing apparel will hit the market shortly with ■hâmmad "Ainâbêl. The* fdHfier tieavyW®fght Kmpion has signed a lucrative contract giving Ironet Casuals of Portsmouth exclusive world rights ■produce the goods. lHad you noticed that Earl Campbell is professional iotball's leading ball carrier? The Houston Oilers pman tank has rambled 771 yards with 167 carries for I touchdowns. He's slightly ahead of Walter Payton, ho has ammassed a total of 727 yards. Moat of us give little time to giving thanks for all our leasings. I find it difficult to believe that North Carolina A&T id North Carolina Central will not meet on the uketbaU courts this upcoming season. It's likely that ke long-time, bitter rivals will discontinue one of the tate's most attractive football rivalries after this eason. Moses Sharpe is expecting immediate help from his iree freshmen....Center Marsha Alexander, Phyllis Washington and forward Terri Sloan...who have made npreesive progress with the Johnson C. Smith girl's BSketbali team. Look for point guard Tanya Waller to ave a great year! How's this for ending a great career? LaRue arrington romped for . 141 yards and two touchdowns gainst Bowie State to close out the regular season with ,096 yards rushing. A leading cadidate for All-Ameri an honors, Harrington has now rushed for 3,659 yards ι a brilliant four-year career with Norfolk State, ichiding surpassing the magic 1,000-yard gain figure in ach of the last three years. He is a prime selection for le professional football league's draft next spring. Saturday Dec. 1 Who Will Compete In Gold Bowl?

As many other poet-season foot oall games, the answer to who is playing usually is determined after the end of the football season For Gold Bowl III, this announcement should come during the week be ginning Nov 19. In the meanwhile, think of all the possible combi nation - from the CIAA there is last year's champion, Winston-Salem State University, Norfolk State University, and Virginia State Uni versity.

Around town, Satur day evening should be filled with gala events celebrating the Gold BowL - J( Si Sporta Roundup Golden Bulls End Long Season On "Happy Note" SPECIAL TO THE POST It's been a long season for Wylie Harris' gridders, but it ended on a happy note as the Bulls came from behind to tie highly-favored Virgin ia State, 16-16. "It was a nice note to end the year for the seniors and a good per formance on the part of our young er players in looking toward next year," remarked Harris. Seniors Jesse Butts, Don Quarles and Mike Jamison turned in stel lar performances to close out their careers, but the massive Alfred Wring played his best game of the year "I dedicated the Trojan game to my brother, James, who died in an auto accident last week," explain ed Wring. "I know he would have wanted it that way." TÎie Del Ray Beach native accounted for 16 tackles. He harrassed Trojan quar- . terback, Tony Cauthron, all day and was in on the defensive play of the game when the Bulls stopped Virginia State on fourth down and inches with 2 minutes to go. Ray Patterson came in to tie the game with a 42 yard field goal with a min ute left. Freshman, Ed McNeely, con tinued to prove to be one of the best in the CIAA at tight end with a 12 yard TD reception from Cal Gill under double coverage. John West moreland and Alvin Ellington have asserted themselves as sure start ers when the football team returns next fall. Bob Moore's cagers served warning to the rest of the CIAA that the Bulls are not out of content •Vyue name ...Golden Bull coach ion for the crown because of Bill Tibbs and Ronnie Thompson's in juries. The roundballers edged an experienced Australian National Team 70-68. Sonny Proctor de monstrated why he has been All-CIAA two years in a row firing in 20 points. Blue Oliver jammed home three dunks in totalling 19 points. "Our ball handling was ragged at times," evaluated Moore, "but when the heat was on in the stretch, we ran an effective offen sive set instead of buckling under pressure." Roosevelt McGruider's shot re jections was a crowd pleaser while Frank Reid played solid ball com ing off the bench. Moore's cagers displayed effective balance as any one player showed they could score at any point. The season opener will be against Barber-Scotia in Concord on Dec. 3.
