an exciting voUeybaU, basketball and softball player.
In Caldwell County when it come* to baseball. South is
the word. The South Caldwell 8partans have not done
much in sports since they have been members of the
Western 4A and now the Northwestern 4A, but they lave
ruled the roost in baseball. %
Football player and pitcher Greg Wilcox was the star as
he threw a one-hit shutout at South Caldwell and knocked
In a two-run homer as the Sabres won by a 4-0 count in
Granite Falls—nicknamed Granite—where the locals are
adamant in their pride of their team.
Joie Polite hit at triple in that game for the Sabres.

Dreaming? Dreams can come
true if you believe they do.
Rumors have it that some CIAA
members are considering Division I
status in the next four years. And if
this happens the CIAA could operate
successfully as a two-tiered con
ference, Division I and Division n.
This would eliminate a lot of the
scheduling conflicts that the
mammoth conference has and put
the haves together in Division I and
the have-nots in Division D for a
more equitable distribution of
competition.
CIAA Division I would Indude
Virginia Union, Virginia State,
Norfolk State, J.C. Smith, North
Ca rolina Central and Hampton.
These are schools which have
resources or access to resources
necessary for the switch to Division
I and are in dties with suitable
arenas or have suitable on-campus
arenas and large alumni associa
tions.
Division n would include St.
Paul’s, Livingstons, Fayetteville
State, Shaw, St. Augustines, Bowie
State, Elizabeth City State, and
Winston-Salem State.
These are schools with limited
resources to play a Division I
schedule.
' Winston-Salem State ii in a
sitution in which they could opt (or a
change or be a powerhouse at
Division n.
If the CIAA moved to this Division
I status with some schools look far
North Carolina AftT, South Carolina
State, Maryland Eastern Shore and
Howard who are dissatisfied with
the travel cumbersome MEAC to
consider a move back to a morel
ogical conference.
The main reason AftT stays Divi
sion I Is the access to television
monies that have gotten AftT athle
tic programs out of the red into the
black on the basis of seven trips to
the NCAA championships. A first
round loser gets 9311,000 of which the
conference gets a percentage and
the school (he remaining paction.
This would be a super conference.
Johnson C. Smith will lava
a access to a 34,0* < *
opportunity to <i
vgprar
Davidson.
In dose proximity are Winthrop,
Campbell and UNC-AsbevWe. Find
ing opponents would not be a chore.
Being Division I AA in football
would'be eesy to schedule also.
Wlthfc a 300 mile radius are The .
Citadel, Davidson, Furman, and
Georgia Southern, a school which
won the National Championship last
year after only four years of a
football program. •?
Let’s dream.
President Robert L. Albright and
Athletic Director Horace Small
.could leave their mark on the school
by . being known as the men who
brought Division I to Johnson C.
Smith. The outstanding Johnson C.
Smith University alumni tally
deserve this and ss in most cases
with the increased status that Di
vision I brings, alumni would come
out of the woodwork with monies
needed to fund the program.
Everybody, rejoice. It would be a

brand new dav. •
Look out, Duke, North Carolina,
Georgetown. The Golden Bulls could
be on their way to the top.
Some pessimists would say it
couldn't be dooe.
As the University increases its
commitment to academic excel
lence, they should increase their
commitment to athletic excellence
and plan for a future when the
University is tops in all areas and
looked upon as one of the finest
institutions in the nation.
Dr. Robert L. Albright has shown
that he is a visionary and able to
plan many years in advance for acts
which will benefit the university and
the university community.
If this Division I rumor becomes a
reality, the Golden Bulls and the
other schools opting would have the
best of two worlds.
\ At any rate, we should begin next
season by playing school with
outstanding Division I athletic tra
ditions and schools committed to
academic excellence like North
Carolina A*T, South Carolina
State, Howard, Wlnthrop, UNCC,
Davidson, Campbell and UNC
AsbeviDe.
Give it a shot.
