““—EARL MASON’S “ SPORTS gk VIDEO W CIA A TO SAY IN GREENSBORO The speculation is over at least for another year. The CIAA Tournament will he held in Greensboro in 1972.' The officials of the CIAA agreed to keep the basketball tourna ment in Greensboro next year and for probably the rest of the fourrears remaining on the longterm contract with the officials at the Gieensboro Coliseum, at the spring meeting held in Washington two week ago. Norfolk did make a bid to garner the tournament from the Gate City, with the encouragement of its governot, Lin Holding then demonstrators of the state of Virginia made a pitch to land the tournament next year by sending a group of delegates to the meeting in Washington. This group was headed by Ernie Fears, former athletic director and head basketball coach at Norfolk State College and now head of the Selective Service Board for the state of Vir ginia. This was the second time Virginia had made a try to get the tournament. We understand representatives from the administrative de partment of the state attended the meeting last year to make a bid for the CIAA. However, this idea did not get very far be cause they hi ought no black representatives with them to fight the battle to ret the tournament. So the next step for the city of Norfolk and the state of Vir ginia was to re-group and try again this year. This was done and Fears, a man who is as close or use to be as close to the members of the Basketball Committee, was placed in charge of handling the arrangements for this trip to Washington. In order to pursuade the members of the CIAA to move the tournameht, the representatives from Virginia knew they had to present a productive offer. The Coliseum in Norfolk seats only 12,00 spectators for a basketball game so this was a step in the wrong direction for the CIAA since the Greensboro Coliseum has just been enlarged to 16,000 capacity. So to make up the difference, Norfolk agree to sell a TV pack with the tabs being handled by a national brewry. This offer would have to sound good to the officials of the CIAA since they are thinking along the line of a television contract any way. North Carolina, learning that Virginia was trying to move the tournament from the Tarheel state, got its governor and other state officials involved to try to keep thetournament. Governor Bob Scott placed Charles Barbour, director of Travel for the state of North Carolina, in charge of making negotiations with the proper authority to keep the tournament in Greensboro. Learning that Norfolk had offered a television contract to the CIAA, Barbour immediately went to work to try to obtain a TV oaet for the tournament to stav in North Carolina. Bar bour revealed to this bureau last week that steps have taken to start the wheels rolling for a TV pact for the tournament in Greensboro. Barbour reported that he had talked to CastlemanD. Chesley, a local television producer, along the lines of getting a TV pact for the CIAA. However, it is too early to report any find ings from these contacts. According to the contract, the CIAA has an agreement with the Greensboro Coliseum through 1975. But one of the argu ments for the representatives from the state of Virginia was that the contract was invalid because as of next year, it will be new CIAA consisting of 12 teams instead of the present 18 teams. It was the hopes of the Virginia delegation that if they could prove the contract invalid, then its bid would outweigh Greens boro for the rights to get the tournament for next year. It all went for naught as the conference agreed to keep the tournament in Greensboro. Clarence Gaines, athletic director and head hasketball coach at Winston-Salem State University, was re-elected president of the CIAA which will lose six schools effective July 1. Gaines commented on the decision of the conference saying, “The site for the tournament was not up for a bid. We have a contract with Greensboro and plan to keep this contract. The tourna ment is definitely going to stay in Greensboro.” HUDSON MAKES AN EASY ONE-Atlanta: Atlanta’s Lou' Hudson (23) makes an easy one as New York’s Bill Bradley (24) and Walt Frazier JO) Link on in game here March 28.

C Grid Ster To Confmcf BUFFALO, N, Y.-The Buffalo Bills, who could use a little more bite in their pass rush, are going to try and install it by using their lucky eighty round draft pick. The eighth-round pick in the common draft is not consider ed a premium one by most pro teams. The choice ranges from the 183rd to the 208th player taken, depending upon from what position the team drafts. But for the Rills the eighth has been a lucky round. Last year they got a starting guard, Rick Cheek, out of it. The sea son before It was two valuable additions -- quarterback Jim Harris and defensive tackle Waddey Harvey. Before that It was the late Bob Kalsu, who was a starting guard In his rookie season before being killed in action in Viet Nam. This year the Bills took Louis Ross, a "sleeper” defensive end from South Carolina State College. Recently they announc ed they signed him. Ross played only two seasons of college football, because he came to the school as a basket ball player. The 6-foot 6-inch Ross was the starting center and top rebounder on the squad. "He should be an outstanding outside pass rifsher," says Elbert Dubenion, the scout who saw him most. "He’s quick and extremely aggressive." Ross weighed 238 pounds at draft time, but the Bills expect him to get heftier. Coacn John R" ,h, who saw films of Ross, snys "for such a rangy boy he has good body con trol and looked tough against the run as well as going after the passer.” Rauch also said the club will curtail its pursuit of free agents Dr. Leroy Walker And Olktn Cassell In Afrrn ?« Finalise PlansFei UadM&^ DURHAM - Dr. Leroy T.
