Campbell is a 29-vear-old Spotlight On Sports BY JOSEPH L. TURNEH NEGRO PRESS INTERNA TIONAL There was a time, not very long ago. when the Black ath letes had no more of a chance to become a professional, than the Black political idealist could hope to become president ofthe U, S. A. But things have changed drastically In the last 15-20 years. Black people have made overwhelming gains iri prac tically all fieids of social en deavor, and are continuing to fight for greater gains. We know of the contributions of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and many others for their work in the social progress area who, in the last 10-15 years, has complied a record in contributions to sports rivaling that of Dr. King. That rnan is Brad Pye, Jr., 36-year-old sports editor of the Los Angeles Sentinel, the largest Black-owned weekly newspaper on the West Coast. Pye wears many hats in his unrelenting efforts on behalf of sports in the Los Angeles area, and on behalf of Black athletes. In addition to his sports job with the Sentinel, he has two daily radio sports casts, is a member of the L. A. City Recreation and Parks commission, and the 1.. A, Me - morials Coliseum; and to many managers and coaches --both amateur and professional--he is a most valuable talent scout. Brad has been honored by both the National Urban League and the NAACP for his work to help young athletes from coast to coast to get college and university education, and has helped to get them con tracted with professional sports teams. One of the most interesting things about Brad’s work is its variety. He goes from helping the big-named players negotiate six figure contracts with the professional teams to helping the athletes from the small re latively unknown colleges at tract the attention of scouts, and eventually makes contacts for them with professional teams. Brad has helped to fight dis crimination against Black Ath letes, and has worked in fund raising activities in behalf of the leading social organiza tions. Just prior to the last year’s presidential elections, manager of two seasons who last year guided the Eugene, Oregon Club to a second place finish in the Northwest League. Trainer Fred McNeill will accompany Campbell from Ra leigh -Durham to C1 earw at e r where they will prepare for the opening of the spring training carnp on March 14th.

Shaw’s Head Coach ira Mitchell Brings Cagers New Confidence Born in New Yor k City on March 2, 1943, and a 3 1/2 year, 1966 graduate of Shaw University, Head Basketball Coack Ira Mitchell was des tined for a career in basket ball. As a player, lie has received honors since his Charles Evans Hughes High School days in New York City where lie was selected for the All-City teams in both basketball and baseball. he was the special guest of the then-Presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon at the Chica go Sports banquet.

NCC competed in the National AAU meet which was held in Philadelphia, Pa. February 28 and March 1. At Shaw, he continued his tra dition by being on two champion ship baseball teams and two Cl A A tournament basketball teams. In 1966, in the select cornp an y of Ea rl Monroe, Rookie of the year of the NBA, he was named to the all CIAA Conference Dackcourt. With some experience as a coach of recreational basket ball and no experience in coach ing high school basketball, Mitchell took over as interim coa c h of the Shaw club in A.ugust of 1967. Now in his first year as head coach, with a predominately freshman and sophomore team, Shaw has competed a 13-7 re cord overall and 11-7 in con ference play. Mitchell expresses his In sistence on togetherness, hustle and dedication. He employs a lightning fast break, a variety of defenses, and a well-balanced offense which makes it possible to have five men in double FALCON POLE VAULTER- Frank Shaw, freshman, native of Camden, New Jersey, is a product of Camden High School.

Coach Mitchell, who taught himself to play basketball on New York’s cement courts in 20 degree weather and pitch black darkness, believes in de dication and hard work. In order to defeat the Bears, the Vikings of Elizabeth City State College had to go into overtime during the first round at the CIAA Tournament last Thursday night. The inexperi ence of a predominately fresh man and sophomore team seem ed to have made the difference. There will be no losses for the Bears during the next two years, via the graduation route. It appears that with the superb improvement the Bears have made during the regular season, and the magnificent play turned in against the Vikings, Mitchell's Bears will be the Darkhorses to watch during the 1969-70 Basketball season in the CIAA. Whither Lew . LOS ANGELES - As the cur rent college basketbal 1 sea son drags to a close, there is increased speculation over what UCLA’s star. Lew Aleindor, will do. Will lie go with the National Basketball associa - tlon, the American Basketball association, or the Harlem Globetrotter's?
