'Tis always difficult, to out through the fog of secrecy connect ed With contract signings, particu larly as regards the exact salary of leading athletes. The usual custom is io speculate on re tain figures leaked intentionally or uninten tionally to the press In the cases of Mays and Mantle, however, the figures have hern far more acrurate than in others.

Aggies Dump EOSC Quint, 100 To 95 GREENSBORO The A&T Ag gies lan week bombed the Eliv.u '* e h City State College Vikings, 300-95, in a Cl A A basketball game which resembled a shooting match most of the way. It. was the home finale for the Aggies. The Aggie* began bombing from at the outset, taking the lead on a Jumper bv ./nines Webber, the first time he got, his hands on the ball, A.&T wns never headed. After 18 minutes tn the flr»t half they led by II -at 31-22, arid went to the dressing room with a hefty 15-point edge, 52-37, Adrian Sanders, who led ail scorers with 24, was the big man in the first half rally. ! The Greensboro club took up | where they left off as play began | in the final stanza. This time it wo* Robert Saunders, who spear : headed the attack. At 9:30, with ! Saunders hitting from all points, j scoring 12-of his 23-points, the Ag | gies had created a 35-point bulge, leading at 80-45. The Vikings came storming back with a full court press to nearly make a game of it. They got within 16-points against AtTs second line, but the clock reduced that threat. A&T scored 43-shot* from the floor out of 78*4ries for a 55 per cent average. Elizabeth City had 12-out of 101, for 40.8 percent. sure from Ihe public to reveal, great oenterfieldfr* are being regarded for the terrific con tributions they make, on and off the field, in and out of sea son. to the two teams. i j Anri snee :< is this same public j ! that picks up 'he baseball tabs, the | Giants and the Yanks feel some | I compulsion to dazzle it with figures ! ; showing shat they are properly re- I watdmg these heroes. In the salary bs.lies of recent ye., r. M"-ys has been 'he winner, taking o> er where former Boston | Red .Sox star Ted Williams left off. I And. acf-e-d'ng to th< source I hav ,s i been able to tap. 1965 is no ex- . i ccptinn for Mays. The ’Say Hey' j Kid i p irtf rilv has again topped ] Mantle. afU.ting a recent contract j ; for $16.3.000 ime same as Inst sea son i. as compared to Ithe SIOO,OOO i for Mickey. | This wester is not trvinß to re ; solve here the question of whether Mays should rightfully be paid a | biggi r salary than Mantle, al j though 1 am a Mays man, myself. : My commentary on the matt?r is | in ten led rather as a point of re | fereme for another anxious, per ; haps vexing question. It /. why Milwaukee’s great out j fielder Hank Aaron has not been • put in the SIOO,OOO class? Despite his tremendous contri bution to the Braves cause, Aaron, i m the view of this writer and many ether baseball tans, has been comparatively underpaid Last week he received a $70.n.)0 con tract which matched, and most likely topped any other he has yet i received from Hie Braves. | But even $70,000 is not. enough ! for s star of Aaron's magnitude | He (Should be put in, or at Jeasl | very near, the SIOO,OOO bracket. | There are several reasons. First of all. Aaron has been a consistently top major league performer, a distinction which even Mays and Mantle (due largely to injuries) cannot claim. In this respect, an off-champion ! ship year for Hank (he has won j Hie National League batting title | at least twice) would he a banner I year for many otucr leading play . ers. , ' .PC'-' or.up from Jackson- i | viile. Hank has been a top major ! i“f me contender for the NL bat- j ! ting title, and certainly one of the j ; loop's top sluggers. By turn, he | has won either the batting (on a- j ! verage, home run or slugging title. I and, with his deceptive speed and keen judgment, his fielding has ! left little to be desired. In fact, Aaron is the Brave most i appealing to the fans; its bread- j and-buttcr player. Fans go to the : Braves’ park to see Hank, and in the processs pour precious dollars in the pockets of the team’s brass. ! It's about time, therefore, that the team owners start returning the j , favor and put mere bread in A- \ men's pocket Now a lot of fans may im» mediately start asking the question of whether I consider Aaron as good as Mays or Mantle. To this, let me say that es>ay is intended to draw ro sueli comparison. lor reasons uhir-h space w ill not permit me to discuss here. Mays at least is more spectacular type of ballplayer. Itut this does not mean that Hank cannot com mand, with justification, an equal or near-equal salary. Baseball salaries are based on tangibles, as well as intangibles, j al) d a player's actual performance | sometimes conflict with the latter i ! Roberto Clemente of the Pitts j burgh Pirates, for instance, is a ; i consistently top performer, but he i : Jacks the fan appeal of a Mays, ! I Mantle, Aaron or Ernie Banks. His I 1 full worth to h:s team, therefore, S | must largely be measured in terms j of .his actual performance on the i field. On the other hand, a fellow like Aaron is not only .feared and re spected on the field, but he has \ tremendous box office pull. In other words, Hank gets the job done the way the fans like it, and the Braves bears should bear this in mind at oontractsigning time. Discovery of the now-unknown : causes of atherosclerosis and high blood pressure is a primary objec- ' five of the Heart Association's research program. Once the causes j are found, medical science will be j i better able to develop new methods ! j °f prevention and even cure. In the news recently has been i the search by archeologists for the tomb of Imhotep, an Egyptian physician, who according to the North Carolina Heart Association, related the action of the heart to the beat of the pulse—s,ooo years ! ago. NOTHING can happen to you ! I that hasn’t happened to someone i else. j 13 Congratulations 20th ANNUAL Cl A A 11 m w* ran* pf j| m ar w ■ mm irm 1% Bli M.
