sDonr Deal HY HILL JOHNSON TELLING IT LIKE IT REALLY IS. A good loafer is an artist at his pro fession. i According to Patrisha S. Tulloch of the Greensboro Pacemaker, Antonine Luther has a lot of college recruiters camping at his doorsteps. The star eager for Greensboro Day School, who is averaging a little better than 20 points a game, is being sought by .Davidson, Greensboro College and VMI. He «;esently is leaning towards Davidson here his 3.0 academic average would be suspect If Clarence “Bighouse” Gaines fails to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and ' dTieci his Winsfon-Sfllem State Rams to a ^ winning season, it will be the first time since 1968--the year after Earl Monroe led the flams to a national title-that Bighouse has failed to win more games -than he lost. TTiere’s quite a controversy brewing up at Delaware State because the administration flfcs employed a white man to head its football program. Joe Purcycki, formerly a defensive backfield coach at mostly-white Delaware University, has replaced Charles Henderson, who was fired recently follow ing a 1-9-1 campaign. The DS alumni and* Tans are upset because a white coach has been hired at a black college! The top names among the black golfers on the PGA tour will compete for $10,000 at the 28th annual Ray Mitchell North-South Golf Tournament in Miami, Fla. February 17-21. Lee Elder, Calvin Peete, Pete Brown and Jim Thorpe are in the field. Barber-Scotia will take on Knoxville College in a “big basketball game” on the campus in Concord Saturday night. The contest will serve as the highlight of Barber-Seotia’s annual homeeoming cele bration. When Bethune-Cookman ajid Florida A&M joined the Mid-Eastern Athletic Con boasted the two schools would “add con siderable strength to the league’s sports programs.” It appears that Ken was corrent in the prediction because Bethune Cookman is leading the 7-team circuit with a 4-1 record and Florida A&M is in second place. There’s something special to being talent ed and beautiful. Take Marsha Alexander, for example! The six-foot Johnson C. Smith University sophomore from North Wilkes boro, who captured District 26 “Player of th^Week” honors last week, is the third scorer in the CIAA. Miss Alexander is burning the cords with 21.7 .points for each appearance this season. She’s an excellent bet to become JCSU’s first woman “All American.” There is talk around the national football league that Bum Phillips cannot win the “Big Games.” However, what is being overlooked is the fact that each team that beat Phillips’ Houston Oilers went on in the last three years to win the Super Bowl. Look for the NBA Scheduling Committee to announce any day now that the confer ence has shifted its present October-May format to November-June. The Denver Nuggets will peddle David Thompson to the Los Angeles Lakers before the February 15 deadline. They’re negotiating for $1 million and guard Norm Nixon. The Lakers are reluctant to part with Nixon. Hence the deal is being held up. Picking a winner in the CIAA regular season championship race is a risky business. The top slot has chaneed teams in the northern division in each of the last three weeks. Elizabeth City is erijoying the luxury of being the first-place tenants this week, with a 9-2 league record. Norfolk State (8-3) and St. Paul’s (8-4) are close behind. Johnson C. Smith has a shaky one-game lead over St. Augustine’s in the South. The Golden Bulls, however, have to play five conference games with such imposing op position as Fayetteville (twice), Virginia Union, Hampton and St. Augustine’s. The advantage belongs to Bob Moore’s run-and outfit because they’re playing their final four contests at home. St. Augustine’s, in the meantime, has five games remaining, three of which will be played at home. Prior to coming to Charlotte on the 19th of this month, the Falcons will clash with Virginia Union, North Carolina Central and Living stone in Raleigh and with Bowie State and JCSU on the road. From this distance (three weeks) the upcoming CIAA Basketball Tournament has the chemistry for becoming the “best ever” for a conference which has a storied history for staging exciting events. The are as close as you’d desire to be to Lola Falana, with close to three games £paratfng the first four teams in each ■vision. - - a i r,; Marsha Alexander budding superstar Coach Steve Joyner ' Turns program around ▼ Kimberly Mathis guard-forward J.C. Smith Women Have Gone On A Winning Streak While all eyes have been on Johnson C Smith's men's team, the JCSU ladies have gone on a win ning streak of their own Steve Joyner’s young squad stands at 5-4 in the CIAA with a good chance at making the conference women's tournament. "If we split the series with Fayetteville State. I believe we ll be in for sure," noted Joyner. “The young players have started to yell. It simply took time to learn each other's limits and abilities." Marsha Alexander con tinues to be one of the CIAA women's top players scor ing 20.2 points per game and collecting 10.1 re bounds. Marsha has plenty of capable help in guards Lillian Wilder and Kim berly Mathis. Center Gail Pickett has also proven to be an exceptional talent. All three are only fresh men. Bob Moore’s team con tinues its road schedule at Fayetteville State tonight, Virginia Union Saturday and Virginia State Monday "We plan to sweep all three before heading back to Charlotte," promised guard Phil Flores. “Tell the folks back in Charlotte the Bulls are winners on the road and we will be looking forward to our last four games in Brayboy." The Bulls will open against Fayetteville State on Wednesday, February 11; Saturday the show goes over to the Charlotte Coli seum as JCSU will host Winston-Salem State in a doubleheader Bu.sketball Clinic The Central Branch YMCA, 400 E.

The victory pulled Smith to a two game lead in the CIAA south “We intend to take care ol St. Augustine's ourselves when they visit Charlotte,'' promised Bleu Oliver and several other Bulls.

" queries "Black Enterprise” maga zine in its February issue. "The Washington Page" of "Black Enterprise" ana lvzes the contrasting per ceptions of the impending Reagan Administration and stories emanating from his transition team which hint at the demise of programs that aid minority business. The president's cam paign rhetoric was anchor ed deeply in calls for large cuts in federal social spending programs, a re duction of government in terference into the private affairs of the business sec tor, curtailing of most af firmative action programs, and a much stronger na tional defense through massively increased federal funding neagan s transition ad visors and prospective cabinet appointees have been identified as conserv ative, middle-aged, busi ness executive-types who will take the private sec tor appraoch to the pro blems of Black America if they determine these pro blems to be of high priority on their issue agenda The Heritage Foundation, labeled a conservative think-tank wth connec tions to some Fteagan aides, has pressed for the “virtual dismantling of the government’s entire af firmative action and civil rights machinery.

Brown Is A Marketable Prospect By Chase Vance Post Sports Writer Letters from area col leges are still coming in for this high school junior UNCCj Carolina, State, Clemson. Georgetown, DePauI and Georgia - to name a few At 5-11, his height is not really impression, but his uncanniness for basketball, his floor leadership as a point guard and his ability to hit from outside or pene trate the lane when he has a chance makes Chris Brown a marketable pros pect in the world of high school basketball. Last week in a game with one of the conference heavy weights-W'est Char lotte-Brown led his team with 32 points, 10 of which came against West Char lotte trees Mike Medley and Dennis McLain. Sparking an Olympic rally which brought the team back from 16 points down to a one point lead w ith seconds to play, Frank Christopher Brow n earns a spot among the select of Southwestern 4A Confer ence basketball players Only a junior, he has Miller Will / / Sponsor IVBA [iaine Award MILWAUKEE.

"We are extremely pleased to join with the NBS and CBS in presenting the "Miller High Life Play er of the Game Award" said Doug Rogers, Brand Manager for Miller High Life, another year to build his reputation The prediction here is that Frank Chris topher Brown will be one of Charlotte s most highly re cruited athletes before he graduates from Olympic High in June 1982 Other standouts last week were North’s Bradley Leak who hit 24 in a 77-72 ..m over West Mecklen burg, West s Virgil Latti more who hit 24 in the same game. West Charlotte's Frank Henderson who hit 23 in the win over Olym pic, Geoffrey Crosby of South who hit 17 in a win over East Mecklenburg, and Garinger s Odell Waker who hit 20 in a 70-68 loss to Myers Park 49ers Have Two Big Gaines (Coining Up The University of North Carolina at Charlotte •liters are rocking and reeling in one of their rare losing seasons.
