1969 Turned Out To Be The Year Os The Braves: Siler / BY CHUCK SILER f BATON ROUGE, La-1969 was “Year of the Tiger, Panther, Devil. . .’’and a varie ty of other names around the Southwestern Athletic Confer ence. It turned out to be the year of the Braves-from Alcorn. Still, many overlooked the fact that a young team with a new coach finished a close sec ond to the Misslssippians. For the Southern University Jaguars and Alva Tabor 1969 turned out to he a Cinderella season. The "guessperts” has pre dicted that Southern would fin ished around sixth place with just the top of their spotted Jaguar heads above water. Southern ripped the best and wound lip second. This year finds A1 Tabor, who garnered coach of the year honors, on the spot. Southern along with Alcorn is one of the two targets that the rest of the teams around the SWAC will tie trying to knock off. Y As it stands-the Jaguars were Hi better shape this time last season because of the pres ence at a large number of blue -chip athletes that Tabor used as a foundation upon which to buUd the successful season that ■”-■■■ - ■ . •«.«*.

Many of the names that were heard will possibly be on the lips of other people in a varie ty of other places. Names such as those of Aiden Roche and Louis Porter, Ken Ellis, Mel Blount, Ray Jones and others will no longer be on the roster. These are the bonus babies that signed to try their luck as pro fessionals. Others like Art Carrol, Terry Lewis, Albert Williams and Mark Samples who are among the free-agent signees will also be missing. Still the Southern Unit is somewhat intact. Though not as fast in the backiield the Jags are loaded with power runners that can move the ball. It may take a few more plays to make ttie big one since they lack the great Ellls-Porter speed duo but there is little doubt about the fact that the Richardsons (no kin) Cover and Eddie, Ernest Murry and transfer Harold Lev ins will be able to carry their share of the load. In the line offensively, Tabe lias two tackles of brobdingna gian proportions bolstering the line, one occupying the slot where Lewis once was and the other in A1 Levy’s place since he has been moved to fill a guard's spot. The tremendous twosome Hal Sampson and Randy Morton typify the type of linemen that Tabor has been out recruiting. Both weigh 280 and stand 6- 7 and 6-8, respectively. They have the quickness and agility necessary as a result of their also having played basketball as prepsters. As far as depth goes in the line the center position is load ed with three tough performers all of whom gained battle ex perience during the 1969 cam paign. Elton Blount, Carl Tur ner and Thomas Smith are the three. A1 Levy and Joe Newton will front the guard spots Tabor is hoping for suitable backup men. Big John Splght who tips the scales at 280 may be one of the players available to turn In time in addition to playing offensive tackle. Howard Hall who quarter backed most of last season will be returning after having had a strong spring session. Backing him - and trying to win the start er’s role - are transfers Henry ‘ 'Sh&key” Washington and Je rome Bettis, NEAR FREE-FOR-ALL-Chicago: A near free-for-all broke out in the top half of ninth inning 'July 5. after Cub’s manager Leo Durocher and Pirate’s Dock Ellis apparently exchanged words over the pitching of re liever Jim Colborn.

J, Simpson, with one year of pro fessional football out of the way, looks back at a less then satis factory season and is now look ing forward to a major improve ment by himself and the other members of the Bills’ squad. “It was not a good year,’’ he insists, “either for me or for the team.’’ The team did, indeed, have a poor season, finishing fourth in the American Football Lea gue’s Eastern Division with a 4-10 record. Rookie Simpson, however, was the sixth best rusher in the AFL with 697 yards and was fifth in average yards on kickoff returns at 23,2, De spite his performance, through there were those who said he didn't live up to his advance billing. Now, as the 1970 season ap proaches, O. J, sees youth as the key to this year’s improve ment. “Our team is so young that 8.11 but about five guys on the squad are going to report to rookie camp.” Besides the major drawback of a lack of experience on the Bills in 1969, Simpson believes the club was handicapped by the fact that “no one wanted to take charge.” “t guess the logical man would have been Jack Kemp, the veteran quarterback, but he wasn’t a starter for a lot of the year-and it’s hard for a man to lead when he’s on the tench,” Simpson observed. He believes oro U the club’s young quarterbacks - James Harris, Dan Parragh or even rookie Dennis Shaw - could be the needed leader. It could al so be O. J. “I know the coach (John Rauch) is looking to people like Harris and myself,” he said. “I think we’re in a very good position to have a group of set leaders, if not. just one man,” contributed greatly to the sup port and growth oftheATA.The Junior Development Program, under the leadership of Dr. R.
