Evidently this “Cat” forgot that I’m playing his records, (smiles).’ Well, I guess by now It’s no secret that after four long years at WLI E “Big Bill Haywood” is leaving to accept another job at a radio station in Washington, D.C. I’m very happy for Bill but I still can’t help from feel ing the loss myself. Bill has helped me tremendously in my effort to become a much better announcer. I’ll always be grate ful to him, Ray Henderson, and Brother James, for their help in my radio career.

WILLIAMS ELIZABETH CITY - Every team, no matter how many vet erans the coach expects to re turn, must have a basic nucle us with which to work. De spite the fact that only eight een lettermen will be on hand to shoulder the burden of this year’s eight game slate, Coach Tom Caldsell’s Elizabeth City State College Vikings have a nucleus of potential power. The growing optimism, out of what would ordinarily seem to be an other fruitless season, rotates ML Grid Teams Set Stage For Openings Final tune-up Is at hand for seven of the none American Football League teams. Beginning Wednesday, when the Denver Broncos and the new Miami Dolphins clash at Mem phis, Tenn., all of the AFL clubs except New York and Boston will conclude pre-season play during a five-day period. Five games are listed, with Denver playing twice. On Saturday, the defending champion Buffalo Bills play the Jets at Allentown, Pa., Houston is at Kansas City, and the Bos ton Patriots complete a 10-day stay on the west coast by play ing at San Diego. On Sunday, in a game to be telecast nationally by NBC-TV, Denver hosts the Oakland Raiders. The only pre-season game remaining, after this week’s ac tivity, finds New York and Bos ton at Mobile, Ala. on Thursday, September 1. AFL regular - season play gets underway’ on Friday night, September 2, with the new Mi ami team entertaining Oakland at the Orange Bowl. With ehips-down play just a stone’s throw away, five of the nine AFL entries are still de liberating over the key quarter back position. A sixth, the Jets, is anxious to find out if back up man Mike Taliaferro can do No Crying Towei For Me," Declares NCC Grid Mentor ■ DURHAM - North Carolina College’s 1966 football players reported at 5 p.m,, Aug. 30, according to Coach James A. Stevens, who said Thursday he expects ‘‘maybe 40or 45boys.” Stevens, who lost 22 players from his 1965 squad, including most of his first team, said Southern U. Aee Goes To Majors BY BENNIE THOMAS BATON ROUGE, La. (NPI) Major League baseball’s raid ers have struck at Southern U niversity again. If the Jaguars successfully defend their Southwestern Ath letic Conference championship next year, none of the thanks will go to the Boston Red Sox of the America League. The Red Sox lured Southern’s regular catcher James Walker into a signing agreement last week, marking the second time in two years that a regular Jag uar catcher was signed to a pro fessional contract with still an other year of college eligibility remaining. At the end of the 1965 sea son, the Chicago Cubs signed Jaguar catcher Johnny Hairs ton, who was the number one Southern back stop at the time. But then Coach Emery Hines wasn’t left with a real acute problem behind the plate. Walker moved up to the top slot and the Jaguars went on to win the SWAC championship, land a berth in the 1966 NAIA Nation al tournament and finished in third place. Walker was named totheAU SWAC and All-NAIA Tourna ment teams and drew honor able mention on the NAIA All-A merican team. Coach Hines finds himself without an experienced catch er for the 1967 season. Roland Wallace, who played little as a frosh last season, appears to be the top prospect. Walker was signed by Red Sox scout Ed Scott and reportedly received $25,000 for his signa ture. Scott said that Walker would be assigned to Waterloo (low'a) of the Mid west League next year. Walker, w’ho stands 5-11, weighs 210 pounds, is 20 years old and bats and throws right handed. In 20 games on the regular season, Walker hit 314 and swatted three doubles, two triples and a homer--drivingin 16 runs. He will reportedly enroll in school in September, but as a professional baseball player. Again, Coach Hines is left holding the bag. Better still, wdth no one to hold running foes on the bags. around the core of four return ing gridders. Team leadership on the per sonnel level is vitally impor tant to the success of any out fit. Thus Coach Caldwell Is pleased with the players’ selec tion of an able captain, ST L TESTER BYNUM. The big sen ior end from Chapel Hill, N. C. stands 6’-3” and weighs 200 lbs. Bynum is large enough in mind and body to command respect from all of his teammates as well as from players of the op position. A bruising tackier, the job, if 1965 Rookie-of-the- Year Joe Namath’skneedoesn’t mend for the opening whistle. The clubs set at quarterback are Buffalo, with MVP Jackie Kemp; San Diego, where John Hadl looks set for a big season and Kansas City, with veterans Len Dawson and Pete Beathard. However, the signal - calling post still looks up for grabs at Oakland, Houston, Boston, Den ver and Miami. Oakland, anxious to make a run at San Diego for the western crown, has former Baylor star Cotton Davidson back after a one-year injury lay-off. David son must prove he can come all the way back. Otherwise, Tom Flores, who shared the quarterbacking with Dick Wood a year ago, might get the nod. Miami picked up Wood and Boston’s Eddie Wilson in the expansion draft , but rookies Rick Norton or George Wilson, Jr. could be Coach George Wil son’s final selection for season opening quarterback. At Bos ton, John Huarte, the 1964 Heis man Trophy winner is chal lenging 13 - rear pro veteran Babe Parilll. Houston has three men duel ing for its quarterback post. . . veteran George Blanda, Don Ti'ull and Jacky Lee. Mickey- Slaughter and John McCormick are battling at Denver. physical examinations and the issuing of uniforms are sche duled for Aug. 31. On the fol lowing day, Sept. 1, said the coach, “we’ll hit the regular two-a-day practice sessions at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will con tinue until the opening of school at which time we’ll drop to one a day.” The Eagles begin their none game schedule in meeting Allen University of Columbia, S. C., Sept. 24 on XCC’s O’Kelly Field. “We expect a strong team from Allen,” said Stevens. ‘‘We'll try to have a practice game or scrimmage before meeting them.” Last year, for the first time in the history of their eight -year competition, the Allen Yeilow Jackets, with a score of 28-0, boat an NCC team. In 1965, Stevens’ first - ear as head coach, the underdog Eagles eked out a 3-'-l record but that satisfied all but the most de manding NCC boosters because two of the victories were in “the” games to win in the eyes of most fans--the homecoming game with Shaw University and the Turkey Day contest with chief rival A&T College. Despite the loss oi key per sonnel, Stevens declared he is Cl-IFF MrKINNFY Your Schlitz Salesman RECOMMENDS real Milwaukee Famous . . . simply because it tastes so good accurate blocker, swift pur suer, and fair receiver, Bynum has his eyes set on ALL-CIAA recognition and professional ambitions. Coach Caldwell, who Is funda mentally a defensive specialist, can depend again this season on the shoulders of Elizabeth City’s Colvin Webster. The lo cal guardtackle has been good enough to get starting assign ments from his freshman sea son up until now. Having worked hard this summer on construc tion jobs, Celvin has added pounds and solidness to his 6’- 1” frame which weighs 23 5 pounds. If there be anyone in the opponents backfield besides their own backs, it will be Web ster. No doubt the assignment against him will call for two against-one. Even that may not keep him out. * Realizing that even a good strong defense is not enough for CIA A competition, coach Cald well’s number one quarterback last year is groomed for a bet ter performance. Sophomore sensation JOHNNIE B. WAL •TON stunned the conference during his freshman year as he led the Vikings in passing and total offese of rate high among the top signal callers in the con ference. Figuring to be quicker, cooler, and more accurate, the local ace pilot holds the key to coach Caldwell’s offensive strategy. Regardless to how effective a quarterback may be in passing, he must have a reliable target to hit. Undoubtedly Walton’s target will be Raleigh’s E. EUGENE SNIPES. The Wal ton to Snipes combination last year was enough to keep the Vik ings in contention. With speed, deception, determination, and a rod pair of hands, the senior gridder alternates well between wing-back and end. Snipes’ 6’- I*', 180 pounds stature indicated that he intends to remain un stoppable in the pass reception and scoring departments. If anyone stops Eugene Snipes, it will be Eugene Snipes, himself. using “no crying towel.” “I’m not a towel man,” he explained, “I’m a hustler, I’ve been beat ing the paths trying to find men to make up for these losses. It’s still a big question whether w e’ll get replacements. “One thing that will make It better,” Stevens observed, “is the addition of a new man, as sistant coach Robert Heard, which should give us a very fine staff. But a fine staff has got to have good players to work with,” said the veteran of 11 years at NCC. “It’s becoming more difficult each year to find that player who can measure up to the academic standards as well as play the kind of ball re quired to beat the teams we have to play. There is not a pushover on the schedule.” The complete NCC schedule follow s: Sept. 24, Allen Univer sity, Durham; Oct. 1, Morgan State College, Baltimore; Oct 8, Kentucy State College, Dur ham; Oct. 15, Virginia State Col lege, Petersburg; Oct. 22, Maryland State College, Dur ham (homecoming); Oct. 20, Shaw University, Raleigh; Nov. 5, Johnson C.
