, Ken Huff, all-America guard at
the University of North Carolina,
has been named winner of the
coveted Jacobs Blocking Trophy for
the Atlantic Coast Conference.
; The announcement of Huffs
selection was made Tuesday by
William and H ugh J acobs of
Clinton, S.C., who give the award in
memory of their father, William P.
Jacobs.
The award, originated in 1928, is
given each year to the football
t player, either a back or a lineman, -who
is judged the best blocker in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
Huff, a Tar Heel senior from
Coronado, Calif,, is rated one of the
best blockers in Carolina history. He
was the ringleader in an offensive
line which sparked the Tar Heels to a
7-4 season and a spot in the Sun
Bowl against powerful Mississippi
State. '
Huff already has made concensus
all-America. He has been selected on

He talks through his nose with that
Brooklyn accent that so many of us have
heard before but have a hard time believing
is for real. His every sentence bristles with
controversial overtones. But when Howard
Cosell gives this self portrait, one can not
help liking him.
"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain,
cruel, persecuting, distasteful, verbose, a
show-off. I have been called all these. Of
course, I am."
Howard Cosell represents many things to
many people. To the most passive of sports
enthusiasts, Cosell may be the loud-mouthed

The Sporting News and NEA.
Huff is 6-4 and 254 pounds. He is
expected to be a high choice in the
professional draft soon to be held.
Carolina Coach Bill Dooley
hailed the selection of Huff for the
Jacobs Blocking Trophy. "Ken is the
best offensive lineman I have been
associated with in more than 20
years of football," Dooley said. !
congratulate him on this new
honor."
Huff is the fifth Carolina player to
win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy
since the Atlantic Coast Conference
was formed. Other Tar Heel winners
were Jim LeCompte in 1961, Eddie
Kesler in 1 964, Geof Hamlin in 1 97 1
and Ron Rusnak in 1972. The
presentation of the trophy will be
made to Huff at the annual
Greenville, S.C. Touchdown Club
jamboree later this month.

To the fairly well versed fan, Cosell may be
the outgoing, sometimes right, sometimes
wrong, but never boring sportscaster for
ABC. Finally, to the fan who lives, eats and
sleeps sports, Cosell is a genuine threat to the
ideals that person may attribute to the sports
world.
The book Cosell reaffirms all of the above
mentioned definitions of Cosell. The book is
written in the first person. (What else would
you expect from the man?) The book, now
on the stands as a paperback, sells for $ 1 .75.
Very bluntly, if you are at all interested in
sports and sports literature, the book Cosell
will prove valuable as a tool to not only

understanding the man, Howard Cosell, but
also the institution of sports and the
reporting of sports.
On first reflection the book appears an ego
trip for Cosell. Indeed, Howard makes a
point of showing how many friends he has in
high places. But, mind you, Howard makes
crystal clear that his friendship(s) never
come between Cosell and honest, concise
coverage of sports. After a while, all this
begins to play on credibilty. Cosell may
indeed have all those good friends, but the
idea that he was instrumental in bringing Joe
Namath to New York is stretching matters a
bit.
Howard Cosell is at his best when he talks

Moses
Tar Heel sports briefs
DURHAM, N.C. George Moses, a 6-foct-5
New York native averaging seven
points a pme, has left Duke University for
academic reasons.
Moses, the sixth man on the Blue Devil
team, came to Duke last fall from Schreiner
Institute in Kerrville. Tex., where he was a
leading rebounder.
Coach Bill Foster said the loss of Moses
will "present a real depth problem for us in
the front line."
"I'm sorry George cant be with us," Foster
said. "He's been a tremendous help in the
rebounding department and in each game
has contributed to the team in many ways."

need for better reporting in both print and
radio-television.
One aspect of sports coverage that Cosell
is particularly opposed to is the hiring of ex
jocks as announcers. 1 think it is a
desperately wrong thing, and a debasement
to my profession, to take a man off the
diamond, or off the gridiron, or off the
basketball court, and put him on a news
show as a so-called reporter.
And "What sports print journalism does
have that sport! broadcast does not have is a
whole host of sports columnists throughout
the nation who can and do speak out. Not
enough, in my judgment, on the great issues
in sports today, but enough to at least

Stadium plans
CHARLOTTE (UPI) Plans have
apparently been scrapped for a new stadium
on Interstate 77 south of Charlotte.
Richard Abraham, who announced plans
in November for a 45,000 seat stadium as
part of a shopping center-motel complex,
Tuesday said he has abandoned the
proposal.
Abraham said he has been unable to
obtain a lease agreement with the Charlotte
Hornets of the World Football League or to
to lb
provide some measure of journalism that
does not exist in the form of regular sports
commentary in broadcast.
I just want them (sportswriters) to get
better, a lot better, since they have a
freedom, a latitude, that the average
sportscaster simply does not enjoy. Their
space might be used better in creative
writing, providing insights into the people
and the issues of sport."
As to the fan and the responsibilities of the
sportswriter to the fan, Cosell states, "...the
point remains that the "fan" can be
thougtless, ignorant, and cruel, and should
not be sanctified. Yet almost unfailingly he
continues to be.
"There is a Final reason why the fan should
not be unduly celebrated the most
compelling reason of all and that is the
basic obligation to be a journalist. It is an
easy thing to appeal to the fan in order to
'achieve quick approval.. .To repeat what I

Upton Bell, general manager of the
Hornets, has until next Wednesday to put
together financial backing to keep the
Charlotte WFL franchise operable.
"How can you make a deal to rent a
stadium w hen you dont even know if there's
going to be a team?" said Bell.
Abraham and a business associate had
hoped to develop-a $30 million complex at
the intersection of 1-77 and Sleepy Hollow
Road in South Charlotte.
Abraham, who moved to Charlotte two
years ago, said he will. return to Boston
where his family has real estate and other
business interests.
The Hornets played last season in
Memorial Stadium, a city-owned stadium in
downtown Charlotte which seats about
25,000 persons.

Maybe you are getting the right idea.
Howard Cosell is not the evil, conniving
mole of a sportscaster everyone thinks he is.
He is a quick, smart man who prides himself
in hard work and accuracy. He cares for
. people, believe it or not.
And despite his high-pressured ego,
Howard Cosell is good for sports. His
abrasive comments may not always be on the
mark, and may not always strike home to the
viewer. But if they do, then the man has done
his job; no matter what one thinks of his
personality.
One final quote that seems appropriate at
this time deals with something Dandy Don
Meredith said to Cosell, 44 Ha'hrd, (Howard)
there's got to be more to life than that down
there (on the football field, or any sports
event, for that matter)."
