Sidelights Os 24th Annual CIAA Basketball Tournament
INSIDE GREENSBORO COLISEUM - These four pictures were taken in
side the Greensboro Coliseum last weekend during the 24th Annual Cl A A
-Basketball Tournament. Top: Ellis F. Corbett, center, of the \&T Uni
versity, seems to be “in his glory” as he speaks to two of the YIPS at
the tourney. On the left is Dr. John Sawhill, vice president of Com
mercial Credit, and on the right is A. M, Muldrow, public relations man.
Center left. These young ladies from Shaw University, who pulled so hard
for their team, seem a we-stricken when time ran out and found the Rears
Os Shaw only one point behind the tourney champs. Elizabeth City Vikings.
The young lady in the foreground is really brought to tears. Center right:
Miss Juanita Lovelace, Elizabeth City cheerleader, is having a solitary
moment as she ponders what the Vikings have to do to win the champion
ship. The young Norfolk State cheerleaders in the bottom photo were
caught by the photographer on the floor of the Coliseum. The Spartans
were 1968 tourney champs. It is rather amusing that each has a differ
ed hair style. As this picture was taken, the Spartans were battling
Virginia Union’s Panthers.
