18 THE CAROLINIAN R.^LEIOH, N. C.. SATURDAY. J.'^NUARY 6, 1973 Elizabeth City Nips Shaw, 68-67 Delaware State Trips Falcons, 88-82 To Capture Third Place In Tourney For CC Tourney Title KARL M.ASON’S HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT CLIPBOARD THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF Harvey Hearlley, portions of the championship game between Shaw University and Elizabeth City will be nationally televised by the Base network this week as the Black Associated Sports Enterprises kicks off the baksetball season. By the way BASE is the same network that carried the Grambling football games this past season. The football games were shown on delayed broadcast in this area by WRDU on Sunday morning RON IMCKNEY AND HUGH EVANS were on hand Saturday night to do the broadcast of the game for BASE A lot of work goes into setting up for a TV broadcast. For examole. the cameramen and the general floor crew were out at Dorton Arena Saturday at noon to make preparation lor iiimmg tne game, tvans arrived at Dorton Arean late Friday night just in time to catch a few minutes of the last game in the opening round of play. Pickney flew into Raleigh Saturday morning. Despite the low attendance at the Holiday Tournament, official at Shaw and St Augustine's still have high hopes of the Christmas Tournament being a success here in Raleigh. One of the things not in favor of the tournament this sea.son was the fact that several football games were on the tube last weekend. It is believed that N C State's being on the tube Friday night really did not help the attendance at the first round games F'riday night DORTON ARENA DID HAVE THE INSIDE on the developments of the Peach Bowl game from Atlanta Friday night Several prirtable radios were seen in the stands and one gentleman even nrougnt ms portaoie television and sat it in the lobby Between games many of the spectators crowded around the samll TV to watch some of the excitement in Atlanta WHEN THE PA announcer gave the halttime score, tne sparse crowd gave its approval by cheering the Wolfpacks. But the halftime score given by the announcer had some people wondering when they returned to their cars and picked up the game and found out N C State had turned the game into a rout. Leaving the areni. after the final game, one spectator asked a gentleman with a portable radio the score and when he told him the score was 43-13 in favor of State the fan could not believe it. "It was just announced over the PA that the score was 1413" The gentleman with the radio said. ’yes. hut that was 15 minutes ago and State is scoring points lonighi as last as a basketball team does on the fast break. " IKIBRA \ At GUN, THE VETERAN COACH and athletic director at Elizabeth City, was participating in the Capital City Tournament for the firi-t time and he had some good things to say about the holiday dribble derby. Besides giving his approval to the loiirnainenl. Vaughn also had time to pass along some information atioul lies team this season. ((iMINt. 1M(I 7HE TOURNAMENT, Vaughn had said that the tiackcourt position was one of the weaknesses for his Vikings But when the Vikings came out to warm up, several members along press row were wondering about this statement because Holland .Moore who is well remember around the CIAA for his long jumpers was seen warming up \ At (.tIN ( t,EARED THIS UP for this bureau while watching nan ol the consolation game Saturday night ".Moore was ineligible lor the first semester," Vaughn stated. "We ended the iir-l senii'sier December 13 He was eligible by CI.AA and NAIA rules tint he was ineligible by NCAA ruless." Just for the reoerds, rising senior must have a 2.0 average going into his final year. Moore had a 1 97 average. WITHDl r MOORE, ball handling was aproblem for the Vikings. Elizabeth City lost the first five games of the season because in the words of Vaughn, "teams were able to press us because we did not have any ball handlers " But with Moore in the line-up it is a little different. PROOF OF MOORE'S ability is that he was immediately placed in the starting line-up for Elizabeth City for the first time Friday night. This was the first game lor the Wikings since the semester ended. He responded by giving the Vikings the spark they needed in the second half against St. Augustine's LOWE LEWTER, A BACKCOURT performer for Elizabeth City, plays with a toothpick in his mouth. HON SMITH OF DELAWARE STATE demonstrated in the tournament he is going to be one of the best shooters in the Mid-FJastern .Athletic Conference. In the game against Shaw Friday night. Smith, a fres' .nan from Newburgh. N. Y., could not miss The six-foot sharpshooter came off the bench and almost led the Hornets to a victory. TOURNAMENT EARFULS CO.ACH VAUGHN RATES Norfolk State and Winston-.Salem as the two best teams in the CIAA so far this season. The Spartans and the Rams stand head and shoulders above the other members in the league. The other teams in the league are rated about even with no one realiv having a had team. HAMPTON INSTITUTE HAS PROVED to be the surprise of the league, are up around the top this season. V.Al'GHN GIVES Norfolk State and Winston-Salem edge because they have experience The other teams are rated about even because they all lack experience at one position or the other The Spartans and the Rams are experienced at everv position. ELIZABETH CITY WILL FIN'D the road to Grknsboro for 'he CIAA a rough one to travel The Vikings have dropped three Northern Division games already this season EVEN THOUGH HOLLAND MOORE is rated by many as a shooter, his quickness and speed are the two things he has going for himself. Moore is so versatile that teams can't press Elizabeth City as effective now with him in the line-up. GLEN WENDLEY OF Elizabeth City rates as the best pure shooter on the Viking team. Wendley was picked as one of the pre-season All-CIAA performers. WHEN YOl" .SEE ONE CIAA team playing against another league foe. the game will count in the league standings. Regardless of rather a Northern Division team plays a souinern Division team or vice-versa, the results will count in the league standings this season Each team must play at least 16 conference games this season. Special tournament games like the games in the Capital Cltv Holiday Tournament will not count in the conference standings rillNGS ARE SHAPING UP FOR THE proposed post season football game between the winer of the SIAC ana the grid winner of the CIAA. The committees from the two conferences will pre.sent their proposals to the NCAA Special Event Committee at the NCAA meeting in Chicago January B-13 Vaughn is a member ol the CIAA committee but he will not attend this meeting because the Vikings will be busy with their basketball schedule. Jake Gaither, the perennial coach at Florida AtM, will be in Chicago and it is felt thabhe will carry a lot ol weight before the committee next week. The proposed game will be played in Atlanta Representatives from BASE are thinking about putting the game on delayed television just as the Pelican Bowl was pul on the lube this season The game has the backing of the 100 Percent Wrong Club in Atlanta and also the Atlanta Brave baseball organization. The game is not expected to conflict with the MEAC-SWAC game in that this game will be played on a different Saturday. A crowd of about 8.000 spectators will be needed for the game to break even. Anything up .1 id above that will mean a profit for the two leagues TPE CI.A.A ISSTII.I. expected to name a commissioner by July Isl L.D. Smith the present acting commissioner of the CIAA, is rejiorted not interested in the job fulltime. One of the most frequent names mentioned for the top post of the CIAA is Johnny McLendon, the former basketball coach at North Carolina Central and Denver in the ABA McLendon is presently working with the Converse Company. The salary range for the job is $I6.000-$21.00(I plus other benefits and travel expenses. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL PROSPECTS in the C! VA WHO are classified as juniors this season. Seniors may not '■ k up so well this season as far as the pro basketball drafts are r erned. Among the juniors who may get a shot in the play for league are Glen Wendley of Elizabeth City and Waller Johnson nia State. PH L.A.SSITER of Norfolk State may be the sleeper I 0 tryouts this season in the CIAA. Lassister is 6-7 corner r tlie Spartans, he has the ability to make the pros.

Un the next possession down the floor, the Vikings lost the ball on a traveling violation with 46 seconds showing on the clock. In an attempt to hold on to the slim one-point lead, the Bears spreaded their offense playing keep away.
