Yvonne Edwards, who coached Fayetteville State to successive South ern division titles, takes over the reigns at NCCU. Central’s men’s team has Wissell Has History Of Tackling Formidable Odds By James Cuthbertson Post Sports Writer Hal Wissell was con sidered the top Division II coach in the country over the past half-decade. Ar riving on the Florida South ern campus in 1977, Wissel led the Moccasins to no less than four consecutive NCAA post season tourna ment appearances. Under the 43 year old Wissel's guidance Florida Southern went to the Divi sion II “Final Four” for three consecutive years, in cluding a national cham pionship in 1981, a third place finish in 1980 and this past season’s second place national finish. Wissel’s five year record at Florida Southern was 104-49 for a winning per centage of 68 percent. In each of the past four years, his team has won a conference championship. This makes his rookie year at UNCC more dif ficult to take. The 49ers chance of winning the re gular season title after an opening wipeout at Old Do minion in Norfolk appear to be relatively slim. A strong finish in the upper division of the con ference is still possible. Wissel has a .history of tackling formidable odds. Voted Division II Nation al Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches in 1981, he was head coach of Ford ham from 1971-76 where he coached the Rams to a berth in the NIT with the fourth highest win total in the school’s history --18-9 - and an upset win over the 1975 Southern California team that was ranked fifth in the nation. Prior to that Wissel had turned the programs around at Trenton State and Lafayette College. 49er fans are hoping for similar fortunes as the Miners prepare to take on Western Kentucky Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Coliseum and Iona Thursday at 7:35 p.m. in the Coliseum.

By Phil Bustier _ Special To The Post Jack Armstrong,’ the mythical All-American radio hero, could do it all on the athletic fields and classroom The day that football players played both offense and defense has long gone, replaced by athletes Who are trained for specialized roles over an athletic lifetime. College recruiters advise high school seniors with multiple sport talent to pick one sport to partici pate in. The demand of yeac round training, the complexity of the games, and the academic demands make it virtually impos sible to be a two-sport letterman. Exceptional student-athletes are still, with tremendous deter mination and hard work, able to succeed in more than one sport Herschel Walker runs over NCAA track records as well as opponent football players while'maintaining a B average in criminology Charlotte's Mike Eppley is equally adept at directing Clemson football or basket ball while holding down Dean's list honors Johnson C.

The cditomiinications major has been recruited by basketball coach Robert Moore as a back-up for ward-center "The idea was planted when Stephone narrowly missed winning a campus slam-dunk contest." point ed out Moore.
