Black Entertainment Televsion (BET) taped Virginia Union’s lopsided win over Johnson C. Smith in Richmond last week. The game will be telecast over Channel 26. Saturday night. Wonder why there was no Information released on this? Phil Busher, one of the most popular people in the area, resigned his Sports Information Director post at Johnson C. Smith effective January 31. The Golden Bulls have suffered a great loss. Odelia Johns and Cassandra Howell continue to set the scoring pace for the Johnson C. Smith women cagers, who owned an 8-1 record before the Christmas break. Johnson ' - a 48.8 shooter - is scoring at a 19.3 clip while Howell, who has canned 63.7 percent of her flow shots, is scoring at a 14.8 gait. SAY YOU SAW IT HERE, FIRST - Washington Redskins running back John Riggins may have run himself into retirement.

The exciting Delta Devils attracted more than 40,000 fans to the Dome last season. In my opinion, Georgetown will lose two regular season contests this winter, but John Thompson’s all-stars will regroup in time to capture the NCAA Tournament Championship. I like what I’ve seen of Villanova thus far. SUDDEN THOUGHT - Why does Charlotte need a new and larger wliseum wheri it seldom fills the 11,000 seats in ASAD CASE OF MISPLACED VALUES - Pitcher Vida Blue, who excited black America to new heights back in the 60-s and 70’s, has failed in his bid to return to major league baseball.
