Stevenson edged Littlejohn by a stroke, l'W-uj, a year ago. “We expect to have one of the strongest fields ever,” tournament chair man John Love said. He believes the addition of several white players will definitely add considerably more strength in the high ly-competitive champion ship flight. Love lists Rick Power, 4^irry Tucker, Steven Naso • and Tab Hunter, along with James Bouler, Harry Gray, Phil Neely as the players who more than likely will provide Little john and Stevenson with serious competition for the title.

Love said trophies and awards will be given to the top three winners in each flight. Entry fee is $45 per per son.

' The entry fee includes green fees, closest to the pin contest andrthe special gathering.

At Quarterback Post Harris Is Grooming Two Candidates To Replace Thomas ny mu Bustier Special To The Post There was a collective sigh of relief from CIAA coaches when QB John Henry Thomas and WR Nate McDowell received their degrees from Johnson C. Smith University. Their departure ends a two-year reign of terror upon con ference defensive backs whose job it was to stop the CIAA's top passing attack. Will the Golden Bulls air force sputter to a halt? “Not likely, responds Smith head coach Wylie Harris. "A good passing attack is still the toughest attack to defend against.” Harris has been groom ing two candidates to re place Thomas. Senior Hu bert. Jewsome and sopho more Eddie Glaze didn’t get much playing time last season, but each is fami liar with the program and have demonstrated an abi lity to move the offense. Jewsome is a classic drop back passer with an ac curate arm. Glaze is an elusive scrambler who can throw on the run. Although McDowell is Eddie Glaze .An elusive scrambler gone, the Bulls are knee deep in quality receivers. Senior tight end Ed Mc Neely offers experience, size and a strong pair of hands. WR Kenneth White has height to go along with good hands. Speedster Vince Casey has experi ence. Newcomers capable of earning a starting spot include WRs Marc Stro thers, Shelton Johnson and Leon Shipp. The backfield also accounted for 78 re ceptions, 4 TDs and 654 yards through the air. “The running game hurt us some last year," admit Hubert Jewsome .An accurate arm ted Harris. "We’ll be working to improve our effectiveness in this area, but not at the expense of the passing attack." Darryl Wesley, ham pered by a series of 1982 injuries, still broke into the 1,000 yard rushing club as a sophomore averaging 4.3 yards per attempt. Addi tional speed will be pro vided by newcomer Jeff Easterling who runs the 40 in 4.4 seconds. RBs Tim Newsome, Alvin Glenn, Mike Hoyles and Wilbur Mapp also return adding For AST Coach Mo Forte No Summer Fun And Games Bu Urexel Ball " Special To The Post ..Greensboro, NC - Like a kid with a new toy for Christmas, Mo Forte is eager to start his second season as head football coach at North Carolina A&T. Forte will greet 85 play ers to launch the 1983 sea son. Freshmen reported on August 10 and upperclass men on August 12. Two-a day practice sessions start ed August 15. To say Forte is optimistic about his team's potential of reversing last year’s 2-8 record is an understate ment. I feel optimistic about the upcoming season,” Forte said while sitting behind his desk and look ing at a preliminary depth chart. “We have a lot of talent coming back and we feel very good about our recruiting effort.” Forte is obviously ex cited about the potential of his first recruiting class. A premium was placed on linemen and the coach is. almost grooling over his harvest. “We believe many of our recruits will make a con tribution,” Forte said. “We ar^er^please^withour effort. We got mosrof the players we went after." Brian Vick and Ken Canion are typical of the players Forte and his staff went after. Vick stands 6 5” and weighs 260 pounds. A product of North Hampton of Garysburg, N.C., Vick will be seeking a starting berth on the de fensive unit. Canion, who hails from Atlanta’s Therrell High, looms a likely starter on the offensive line. Where he will play is now an un certainty, but he’s a quality player who was heavily recruited by a number of major colleges. Canion is listed at 6'3" and 240 pounds. ureensboro native Rus sell Goode of Smith is another recruit with poten tial. Goode (6’2", 220) was a standout tackle for the Eagles last season and could fill a gap on the defensive unit. The success of the staff’s recruiting effort is also re flected by the fact that no fewer than five incoming freshmen participated in all-star games.

Forte’s optimism is tem pered by the fact that his defensive line has to be rebuilt. Gone from the unit are stalwarts Leon Byrd and Cullen Cook, but his worry is slightly eased by the return of an experi enced linebacker corps and a seasoned secondary.

White (6'4", 280) earned N.C. honors while Warren played for South Carolina in the North-South Shrine Bowl Hughes and McNeely are the only seniors as youth will be a factor in how fast the line improves The talent available ap pears deeper and greater than in the past few years. Still, the Smith offense ir 1982 was built on mirrors Although the Bulls led in passing, they ranked only fifth in scoring and sixth in total offense in the CIAA. Only 150 points were scored in 1982, 18 of those by the defense Time of possession favored op ponents The Bulls defense allowed only 126 points. If the offense generates a running game and greater time of possession, the chances of a CIAA South ern Division title improve with a rested defense the caliber of JSClTs.
