Grumbling College,
Howard Paved Way
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Forty years ago, the
Carnegie Reports castigated commercial foot
ball, on campus, as being ‘wonderful nonsense.’
The nation’s prestigious shrines (Harvard, Yale,
Dartmouth, Chicago) began de-emphasizing the
type football that had filled their stadium for
several decades. On the black college side,
Howard University, Tuskegee Institute, More
house College, etc., gradually retreated from
the respective halcyons they had known, as foot
b HI powers, in the twenties.
Then, in Sept., 1068, at Yan
kee Stadium, a new concept
was realized when 64,000 fans
jammed Yankee Stadium to see
touted Grambling (La.) Col
lege beaten by Morgan State
College of Baltimore, Md., by
9 to 7.
When it later developed that
the New York Urban League and
secured over 50,000 fans by
having cornrnunity-minded cor
porations purchase as many
tickets, for distribution in
Gothan, social welfare had pro
vided black college football with
an intrinsic reason for being.
The idea spread to Los
Angeles in 1969, when 68,000
fans swarmed into the Los An
geles Coliseum, to see Alcorn
(Mississippi) A&M wreck
Grambling, 28 to 6. A week
later, at Y’ankee Stadium,
Grambling defeated Morgan lie
fore 64,000 fans and set in mo
tion a national parade.
The Howard University Bi
sons, committed by a new ad
ministration to purposeful in
volvement in the community,
have invited the Maryland
Hawks to the Robert F, Ken
nedy Stadium, next Sept. 19, to
participate in the first annual
Freedom Class ic-East. That
was in order, of course, be
cause the first annual Freedom
Classic-West was sponsored,
last Sept. 20 (Grambling-Al
corn) by the Los Angeles Ur
ban League.
John w. Mack, executive di
rector of that coastal UL, has
communicated with Sterling
Tucker--his equivalent of the
Washington (D, C.) Urban Lea

National Capital, Sept 19.
Acting director of athletics
John Turpin, Jr., of Howard
and Vernon McCain, athletic
director at Maryland State Col

the Bison-Hawk clash.
An elaborate halftime sta
dium black-out, with the famed
Howard choir mounted on a
white disc on the 50 yard line,
their manacled arms upstretch
ed, as slaves, singing‘Freedom
Songs,’ will be a feature. A
shafting of rainbow toned arch
lights, from various vantage
points of the huge stadium, pro
mise to provide a spectacular
motif,
Lindsay Davis, D. C. football
enthusiast, provided the option
al SIO,OOO escrow that Mary
land State demanded for its
part of the action. The Wash
ington Urban League will de
vote 80 percent of the net pro
ceeds to proceeds to programs
involving dropouts, small busi
ness loans and special funds
for the both men and women ac
tivities of the YM and YWCA,
Pepsi-Cola, for one, has been
invited to help support a move
ment. already blessed by several
large D. C. corporations.
Similar games are planned,
principally by Southwest Con
ference teams, in Philadelphia
(North Carolina Central - Al

(A 1 c or n-Tennessee State); at
Chicago (G rambling-Prairie

The Raleigh Allstars
Started By K. Battle
This is the story of a good
young man that wanted to do
something for the welfare of the
young men in the community
where he lives.
Kenneth Battle, with a few
close friends, put together a
baseball team that has grown to
recognition in the state of North
Carolina as well as other states.
For several years now with Bat
tles as General Manager, Sec
retary-Treasurer and Coach,
the Raleigh All stars won 75%
of their games. With new en
thusiasm Battle, a few men with
the help of the ballplayers were
willing to help out with the
financing of the team. Some new
equipment was pui based and a
better team put together, play
ing local teams only. Then 1969
season brought out a better
team, better equipment and
more sponsors and this year
they play independent teams
from North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia. The team
has also been invited to New
York Labor Day weekend.
As the baseball season ap
proached in 1970 everything
was looking up for the team.
With Kenneth Battle as Busi
ness Manager, he had addi
tional help to join the club, a
Manager, a Captain of a team,
two Coachers and one special
pitching coach. This has been
our best year. With a full e
quipped team, better and ex
perienced players we have lost
only three of 29 ball games. Two
of these games were by one
runs, a 13-12 loss to the Greens
boro Allstars and a 7-6 loss to
the Fayetteville Cardinals.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-Roy Fos
ter, v, ho has sort of a “cool

for the “Rookie of the Year”
honors. Although Foster is in
his first season in the majors,
he has been shuffled around
fairly often at the trading table.
He went from the Pirates to the
Mets and on to the Brewers.
Finally, he found a home with
the Cleveland Indians.
Roy has fitted well in Coach
Alvin Dark’s youth movement.
He is the only regular outfield
er, hut you never know at what
outfield slot as six other play
ers, including Vada Pinson, are
platooned with one another.
Foster is making a good show
at the plate. Currently, he
owns a .285 batting average
with 11 homers and 30 RBl's.
The only Tribe players out-hit
ting Roy are veteran Vada Pin
son, .307; and the Indians’young
catcher Ray Fosse, .309. Fos
ter, who is nicknamed “Super
Easy” because of his easy
going manner, prefers not to
even look at his batting aver
age, or think of his “Rookie of
the Year” possibilities. Roy
says, “I don’t like to talk a
bout being the rookie of the
year because I don’t think that’s
good to do. I don’t even like
to keep track of my batting aver
age.” “Super Easy” went on
to say, “If it’s up, 1 have a
tendency to lag a little, and if
it's down, I have a tendency to
press, and that’s not good eith
