For Joe Alston and the Golden Bulls, the game Saturday
night will conclude th regular schedule. But what an impor
tant game for them.
The fact that St. Augustine's plays an odd came could lie
good or bad depending on the outcome of the games. The
Falcons play a total of 1? conference games while J. C. Smith
plays 16, the minimum number required by the conference.
But with the odd game, then will be no tie for the fourth
spot between these two teams.
So one team is going to finish tin s« a son with at least
a half game load over the other and this will keep the con

So it looks as though the coaches, players and alumni of

88-64, in Washington in the
game billed as the champion

marks. Morgan has a 4-3 fami
ly slate.

Norman Mitchell of the The
Blazers can be termed as one
of the most successful fowl
er in the league. He has been
bowling for three years and the
fact that he hasn't won but one
trophy doesn’t mean that he
is not an outstanding bowler.
His record speaks for itselt
This season he has brought in
games of 192, 195, 204 (twice!
205, 215, and 230. His high
sets have been 507, 515, 520
and 525, Norman's average is
a developing 156 and he rolls
a very distinguished curve ball.
Valentine's Day wasn’t even
thought of and hearts and flow
ers were the rthest thing from
the mind as The Five Spots
beat The Aces 3 1/2 to 1/2.
Harry Bitiford rolled a 209-
182-152 for a 343 set. Pearl
Fowler knocked a 146-162-169-
477 set. Rev. C. W. Ward had
a nice 152-173-213 for a 538
set. Aces’ Wilson Stewart had
a 169-160-149 for a 478 and Jas.

“The most exciting thing a
bout t>eing a cheerleader is
being able to participate, ’’ says
Bonnie Forbes, a senior health
an d physical education major
who has been on the squad for
threi seasons.
This year men were added to
the squad for the first time.
Instead of participating in the
cheers so much, the guys do
a lot of gymnastics.
“They needed something ex
tra to attract crowd attention,”
says one of the new male mem
bers. “Acrobatics produce a lot
of crowd reaction.”
More than anything else, the
squad members learn to work
