The proof of the puddin is in the eating, and Winston-
Salem State was the hungriest in the 25th Annual CLAA
shoot out as the Rams picked up the seventh tourney tro
phy for Coach C. C. ‘‘Beg House'* Gaines.
Everyone around these parts knows that Winston-Salem
is a tournament team and all had speculated that the Rams
would be the team to stop the Hawks’ victory string. But it
was supposed to happen In the opening round - not the final
round.
Until Shaw University hit its losing skid at the end of
the season, Big House and Ms gang were headed straight
into the destructive Hawks. This Vas the best the Rams
could hope for; if by some twist of fate, they made the
tournament. Then things siarted to happen.
Shaw ’s Bears dropped their last two games and Winston
won two, giving both teams a 10-6 conference record. Big
House’s luck or influence or whatever you want to call it
took over at this point. A flipped coin put Gaines in the op
posite bracket from Maryland and in a bracket with two
teams he had already defeated. The results is history.
All of the games, though, we~e squeakers. Norfolk fell
first by three points, 97-94, Elizabeth Citv by three 80-83.
and Maryland by two, 79-77.
As customary to the victor goes the spoils and Winston walk
ed away with most of the awards Gaines'teceived the coaches
award and Allen McManus, the most valuable player. Mary
land’s Jake Ford received the C. E. Gaines award.
Maryland dominated the ten man All-Tournament team by
placing four players on the mythical team, Ford, James
Morgan, William Stewart and Levi Fontaine. The remainder
of the team consisted of McManus and Vaughn Kimbrough,
Winston-Salem; Mike Gales and Hubert Moorer, Elizabeth
City; Lonnie Kluttz, ALT; and Johnny McKinney, Norfolk.
Winston has called it quits for the season as Gaines has
decided not to compete in the NCAA small college play off, a
tournament he won during Earl Monroe's regime. ALT,
Elizabeth City and Maryland will compete in their respective
districts in NAIA competlon.

DEFENDS WOMEN’S GOLF CROWX-Miami,

cessfully defended her women’s division cham
pionship Feb. 19-21 in the 17th annual North-

Miami Springs Course. Mrs. Lucas carded
rounds of 94, 95 and 100 for a 289 and an
eight-stroke margin over Ann Smith of St.

Today, at 240 pounds and
more experienced, he is one of
the finest rookies to come a

Harlem Gloi-etrotters, who will
play the New Jersey Reds here
Saturday, March \4, at 7;30
p.m. in the William Neal Rey
nolds Coliseum on the cam
pus of N. C. State University.
“I have never seen an ath
lete with more toughness on the
boards, ” says Trotter general
manager, George Gil’ett.
David Lattin was a standout
since high school days. Play
ing for Worthing High in Hous
ton, Texas, which won the Lone
Star State prep title during his
junior year, he won Prep All-
America honors twice and was
named to the Texas State All-
Star team three years in a row.
He was swamped with bas
ketball scholarships from 85
colleges and chose Texas Wes
tern. Lattin was twice hon
ored as an All-America selec
tion.
The new Trotter was the top
draft choice of San Francisco
of the NBA and played the
3967-'6B season with the War
riors. Last year he was select
ed by the Phoenix Suns, one
of the NBA’s expansion clubs.
At the start of this cam
paign, he suffered a broken
hand in the Suns’ first exhi
bition game. He had scored 20
points and picked up 19 rebounds
in the 23 minutes he played be
fore getting injured. The Phoe
nix lineup was set by the time
Lattin’s hand healed and he was
cut loose, which turned out to
be a break for the Trotters.
Now In perfect shape, there's
been no stopping him in his new
role with the “Magicians of
Basketliall”.
An added attraction of half

4th Straight Miami Meet
MIAMI, Fla.-A 50-year-old pro returned to
the amateur 17th annual North-South Golf
Tournament Feb. 19-21 after a decade’s ab
sence to pick up right where he left off—a
winner—at the City of Miami’s Miami Springs
Course.
Joe Roach of Pacoima, Calif.,
while never the holder of a PGA
member’* card, but once a
"professional” golf coach, won
the event by three strokes with
an eight-over-par 72-74-75-
221.
He hasn’t played in the City
of Miami-sponsored tourney
since winning four straight in
1957-60.
Roach is a native Miamian,
who started swinging golf clubs
at age nine and cut his teeth
on Miami’s Biltmore and Mi
ami Springs courses.
His victory was acome-from
-behind effort, but he didn't
have very far to come.
Defending champion Bobby
Milton of the Harlen Globetrot
ters trotted off the course with
the first round lead and medal
ist honors with an even par
37- Roach, had carded a
very steady 36-36-72, although
not playing regularly for many
years, and it looked like Milton
was the man to beat.
But Milton came out the sec
ond day with a keen edge
“too keyed up to play,” he said
--while Roach jus- kept hitting
the ball.
‘T figure I can shoot 75 on
just about any course in the
country,” Roach said, not in
the least bit boastfully. ‘‘lf you
make a couple of putts, you'll
come in with a 68 or 69. if you
miss ’em, you’ll get a 74 or 75."
Roach showed the roughness
of not playing regularly, but in
remaining cool, took Milton
nearly out of contention in the
second round. Ti e Californian
came in with 36-38-74 for 146
as the personable Milton skid
ded badly to a nervous 41-
38- and a 150.
Two others came into the
picture the second day. Cur
tiss Walker of Detroit equalled
Milton’s opening day even par
effort and with his opening 77
was in second position with a
148, and 18-year-old Dale Sea
ton of Miami Springs had etch
ed a 76-73-149 to sneak into
third.
It appeared the final round in
the "4-hole event w'ould end up
as a duel between young and old,
as Seaton, capable of breaking
par a: any time, was improv
ing.
But Roach was not to be in
timidated by this youngster,
and marked another coolly
played 37 on the front side of
the final 18, while Seaton and
Walker both chalked up 39*s
and Milton dropped out of the
picture wit! a 41.
Amelia Lucas of Washington,
D. C. continued her winning
ways by successfully defending
her women’s championship di
vision title with a 94-95-100--

of St. Louis by eight strokes.
