Big Prizes In Fishing Tournament II Lak* Norman • Crappie an i glare are having a field day at this popular North Carolina lake par ticipating in the Johnson Reels CRAPPIETHON USA fishing tournament. 8unday, Ivey Ellis of Troutman, caught "Catawba Luke '5*", spon sored by the Catawba Cricket Hatchery worth $8,000. Ellis checked the valuable crap pie in at Stutts Marina after catch - • .ing it about noon Sunday while fishing with Troy Joeey and Mike Oryder. ; On Saturday, in the one-day ; competitive tournament which is completely different from the tagged crappie tournament, three The NBA announced that it would introduce two new teams in a few more years. The cities in questions are Charlotte, North Carolina, and Minneapolis, Minne aoU. Commissioner David 8tern and Co., may aat know it yet, but by expanding to the sites men tioned, they are hurting basketball. Them are certain areas of the country that are hotbeds for vari In football, Texas, Alabama, Ohio, and Michigan are great are as for athletes and fans. The en thusiasm generated at high school and college .game* is unparalleled. In basketball, wa can look at the states of Indiana, Kentucky, end North Carolina as the best places. By selecting Charlotte, the NBA is Woking to divert As fans that at tend collage games and draw them to pro games. This will not happen. The people in Charlotte are used to great college basket ball. They will be able to pay lees for the same, if not better, enter tainment. An alternate city that the NBA —erne to be dodging is Orlando, Florida. Geographically, it is about the only place an NBA franchise would have a chance to do well in without conflicting with a major epUegr* power. The "Big O" is up against Miami for e future NBA club. Although it doesn't seem to support basketball at any level 3 television market. y , The instant rsplay camera “spent a controversial year in the ^National Football league, but it seams to have withstood the storm and will be back this season. Now Jthe other sports are considering the possibility of implementing a vidao check system. In some •ports, it wQl work, but in others it 4s dearly a mistake. The National Hockey League considered having the camera for its playoffs tills year, but the plan ning and expanses were never quite ironed out by season's end. They may, however, have it next season. Admittedly, the NHL needs the camera to handle the goal or no goal situations that arise during tha season. The action on the ice is too fast far the human sys to catch all of the time. A little electronic help when naadsd wouldn't hurt Major League bsueball, on the other hand, would be making a n»istake by bringing in a rsplay camera. Yes, there are certain situ ations when it would help the Cloee-play-at-ths-plato or the tag Mid-catch on the double play, but overall the replay rule would com plicate the game. Sooner or later, managers and players would want to consult the camera for bulls and strikes and no one needs that peril hanging in the prsssbox. Basketball also would not bene fit from the instant rsplay. Some argue that last second shots and three-point shots are some of the calls that officials are missing, and that the earners could correct some missed calls. Moat calls the officials make are good onee. Of course, they are entitled to miss a few -something called the "human factor.'' The fact is, however, that the League would opt to bring in another official before it would employ the instant replay rule. Every apart will probably insti tute some sort of video system in the future, but the process will be gradual. As fans, let's not get too hutig up on the replay as a cure teams qualified to fish in the CRAPPIETHON CLASSIC to be held May 23 at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Robert Shealey of West Colum bia and Sam Shealey of New Hill were in first place with 20 crappie that weighed 19.89. They received $2,000 for their win. Second place honors went to p— Stokes McClellan of Charlotte, and Wayne Ferrell of Huntersville with 13.86 and third place winners ware a father-eon team, Randall and David Anderoon of Lincoln ten, NC. Gary Travis of Vale won the big fish honors in the one-day tourna ment and on Friday night Bobby Hunter Jr. of Matthews took home a $6,000 Lowe boat and Mercury motor rig that he won as a door prise at the CRAPPIETHON semi nar. This tournament ia really something on Lake Norman," said Bob Maxwell of CRAPPIETHON USA based in Deeatur, Alabama. "We haws had seven big winners in tha tagged event and over a 100 ■mailer winners" The seven Big It crappie alone were worth qver $13,000."
