The ladies were favorites against St. Augustine's and Winston-Salem State, but dropped both. Heavily favored Shaw came into town with first place in the Southern Division all bid secure, only to be sent back to Raleigh with a «7-M loss at the hands of Smith. Odelia Johns, suffering from a rare off-season for the junior All-CIAA guard, came through with 16 points to do most of the damage. ’ “It’s been a strange year as far as the up and down consistency,’’ admitted women’s coach Steve Joy ner. “Unless Shaw badly stumbles, we can just hope to be ready for the CIAA women’s tournament to make amends.” Norfolk State’s spacious it Roosevelt McGruder (34)'finds Dante Johnson (42) open underneath with a “neat" pasa and the spunky freshman responded with an easy layup against North Carolina Central here last week. uui draw wui not i that event on February 1/-18. me championship game will be played prior to the men s championship game on Saturday, Fe hruary 28, at the Scop*. D“e"Jwhil* men's coach Bob Moore may nave to call on the services at the counseling center on the Smith campus, or perhaps the psychology depart ment. “It’s tough to explain,” lamented Moore. “We’ve got' some outstanding teams coming to Brayboy in the coming weeks in Virginia Union, St. Augus tine’s, Winston-Salem State and a road trip to Hampton Institute. We have the time and the op portunities to prove our selves, but it will take some hard searching on the part of everyone to play their roles and pay the price. If I were the play ers, I’d be anxious to make amends.” That order will have to arrive in a hurry as nationally-ranked Virginia Union (15-2) led by All CIAA forward Charles Oakley visits Brayboy Saturday. Oakley carries NBA prospect potential with 20 points, 13.5 re bounds and two blocked I shots per game. The Vir ginia State Trojans, led by a pair of small guards in Kevin Bush and Dwayne Wood, have been running conference teams ragged. VSU will visit Brayboy for a Monday night contest. Both games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. following the women's games. Vir ginia Union’s Lady Pan thers, national champions last year, are still unde feated and ranked num ber one in the country. Forwards are McWhirter and Marie Nicholson are worth the price of admis sion as far as seeing two of the best college women players in the country. ran (mmmrxi vmi Has The Answer To Your Advertising Needs!
