D.C. - Howard University will not surrender its 1971 Intercollegiate Soccer Championship trophy until the matter is finally resolved, Dr. James E. Cheek, President of the University, declared last week. The National Collegiate Ath letic Association notified the University on January 10 that it had been placed on probation for a year for having violated NCAA principles governing the eligibility of student athletes. The telegram from Earl M. Ramer. NCAA president, said the Howard soccer teani has been prohibited from playing in the national collegiate soccer championship or any other post season soccer competition for a year beginning January 9, 1973, The team will play its regularly scheduled games during the season, beginning in September. At a news conference in Chicago announcing its sanc tion. the NCAA added that Howard will be stripped of its 1971 national soccer title. The telegram to the University did not mention loss of the 1971 title. Howard’s soccer team won the 1971 national title by defeating St. Louis University. 3*2. in the finals at Miami. Florida, to climax a 1971 season of 15 victories, no defeats, and no ties The Soccer Bisons won 14 games and lost 1 during the 1972 season before losing 2-1 to St. Louis in the semi-finals at Miami. Dr, Cheek said the University will appeal the NCAA’s action and “wiH take all appropriate legal steps toward securing an equitable determination of the NCAA rules and regulations concerning the eligibility of athletes." Dr Cheek s statement on the NCAA's action follows: FAVKTTKVll.l.K '\Ur !•..> ettevilic Stule I tuveiMlv t-.i> ketball team is over (h<> tiu l)ui> and winning. The Broncos, coached by Thomas L. Reeves, have not lost a single contest since starting the second half of the hardwood^campaign. This could mean trouble for opponents as the Bronco hardwood-men prepaio for the home stretch of the torrid CIAA race for the 1972-73 cage season. Fayetteville State University presently stands 7-2 in the CIAA right behind the Winston-Salem State University Rams in the Southern Division of the league. The Reeves-men are current ly sporting an 11-5 worksheet overall. Since the New Year l>egan. the Fayetteville State Universi ty squad have mowed dow n four straight CIAA opponents in impressive fashion. The Reeves-men have defeat ed Virginia State College. Livingstone College. Saint Paul’s College and Shaw University. The Bronco basketeers have conquered Livingstone College and Shaw University l)oth at horn.) and away. Ill Uicir latest 97-80 victory ovei the Shaw fniversity Meat - .Ml r|A,\ contender Mioii Cogdell ptiUH'd In 24 pujiits and cohtinucs to average over -‘0 pf’inis jkt contest lor FSU. The 6-4, 195 pound St. Paul’s North Carolina native "can-do- it-all" according to the skipper of Broncos, Thomas Reeves. "Cogdell is very effective and tough in a one-on-one situa tion." said the FSU skipper, “and he moves the ball extremely well plus he is an excellent rebounder and shoot er." Reeves said Having defeated the Shaw University Bears earlier this season by two points at Raleigh. “I thought it would be a lot clo.ser, " smiled the genial boss of the Broncos “All of the kids are hungry to play good bail and I believe we will play this way throughout the season." said the likeable Reev es. (’oach Reeves has praised his team for their unselfish play and team spirit. Although the Broncos have a winning team, the squad has many very versatile players. Junior guard James l yus who hit 18 points against Shaw is a very deadly outside shooter and rt'bounder. Forward Roy Birch and Terrence Murchison each added 12 points. Roy Birch is very quick and has been very deadly on defense “If you are not careful Birch will steal the ball and have it in the basket before the opponent knows what has happened," smiled Reeves. Terrence Murchison, a 6-6 forward-pivotman, has proven to be a very clutch rebounder ai.J shooter and is averaging over 12 rebounds per game. Howard University has been notified by official telegram from Dr. Earl Ramer. Presi dent of the National Collegiate Athletic Association that the University “has been repri manded and censored and placed on probation..."for a period of one year beginning January 9. 1973. for alleged violations of NCAA eligibility rules. The University is greatly disturbed at news reports that the NCAA has exercised the additional sanction of vacating the University's 1971 Intercol legiate Soccer Championship. The telegram from NCAA President Ramer made no mention of our soccer title having been vacated. The University, therefore, while relying upon the official tele gram. is at a loss to understand the conflicting reports about the NCAA action regarding our soccer team. When the University appear ed before the NCAA Council in Chicago on January 9.1973, and indeed throughout the < jurse of the investigation » alleged violations of NCAA eligibility regulations, the University argued then and maintains now that the regulations in question are not only unintelligible and ambiguous but are vague and inviduously discriminatory since they establish one set of standards .'or American ath letes ind another set of standards for foreign athletes participating in collegiate sports in the United States. This discrimination in the present instance is heightened by the fact that the student athletes in question are natives of Black Nations. We will appeal the NCAA Council’s decision and we are prepared to take all appropriate legal steps toward securing an equitable determination of the NCAA rules and regulations concerning the eligibility of athletes. Until this matter is finally resolved, Howard University has no intention of surrendering its 1971 Intercollegiate Soccer Championship Howard University’s Cham pionship Soccer Team has given impetus and brought excite ment to a sport which is increasing in national populari ty and we feel that it is simply because we are a Black institution that the NCAA was requested to investigate the eligibility of our outstanding players, all of whom, incidently. maintain academic averages far in excess of the NCAA requirements. It is interesting to note that a number of institutions of higher education have expressed grave concern about the NCAA eligibility rules especially as thev are applied to Black athletes. HARRIS IN ACTION • Displaying one iechniqoe that has made him an all-conierence guard for three successive seasons. North Carolina A&T’s William “June" Harris double pumps for a basket over Winston-Salem State’s Roger Wells. Harris’ 24 points coupled with James Outlaw’s 19 led the .Aggies to a 73-68 win last week for an 6-3 season record. William Harris Keys A&T’s 73-68 Victory Over Winston-Salem State GREENSBORO - When the heat is on for North Carolina A&T, All-MEAC guard William Harris is usually around to cool things off. Harris put the chill on once beaten Winston-Salem State University Thursday nigl by sinking five consecutive free throws and keying the Aggies 73-68 victory ever the Rams. An AAT 14-point second half lead withered before the eyes of 7,500 sp^tators in the Greens boro Coliseum as Ram forward Roger Weils sank three qi ck baskets and big 6-7, 230 lb. center Earl Williams collabor ated in spearheading a come back which left A&T wi h a 66-64 lead with 1:19 on the clock. Almost a half m nute later Arthur Chavious fouled Harris and the All-American candidate drew a one-an jne. Chavious argued the call and was tagged with a technical. In response Harris shelled in three charity points. He dropped through another pair as the Aggies retained the ball and Chavious was pinned with an intentional grab. The Aggies were up 71-64 with only 19 seconds left. All toll Harris was credited with 24 points, seven rebounds, three assists and only one personal foul. But his major nocturnal contribution came in guarding Winston’s star guard Sandy Smith, who in their previous encounter prior to Christmas wrecked the Aggies with 26 points. This time around he went scoreless in the first half and wound up with only four points after Harris has stuck to him like infrared radar. Williams led the Rams with 24 points and a whopping 23 rebounds. And with all-conference guard James Outlaw adding 19 points to the cause even though sitting out 11 minutes with three and later four personal fouls, Coach "Big House" Gaines just couldn’t find the right combina tion to win the 501st game. He inserted three new men in the lineup when his scrappers fell behind by 14 and Joseph Hooker’s seven points quickly challenged the Aggies. But A&T’s Warren Reynolds kept Gaines confused by pumping in several reserves of his own and by going to a brief zone defen.se, “Our players were really motivated for this game." panted Reynolds after the emotional affair “I think they’re finally learning the importance of disciplined of fense. run when able and look for the good shot when necessary. "But we re heading into our conference (.Mid-Eastern Ath letic) schedule now and our succe.ss will depend on our kids doing what I’ve bet*n stress ing." A&T is 9-3 overall and 3-1 in the conference with a 91-80 win over S. C.
