C. - When the Atlanta Hawks ot the National Basketball Assocla- tlun picked Howard Uni* versllv's Gerald Glover in the sixth round ot the league's college drait earlier (his month, the most valuable pluver in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Cuntcrence linally es caped his shadow. With his 6-1001-7 trame enguliing a small tolding chair, Gerald reconstucted his struggle toward athletic star dom. “Even alter all-citv and all-state honors (high school), mv parents reallv didn’t believe I had professional potential. I always p! wed in the shadow of my brother Frank. Jr.." a looiball star at the University ot Miami, who went on to plav proiessionallv in Canada. But Frank Glover, Sr. is credited with pushing Gerald into basketball alter the lamilv moved irom a Northwest Atlanta ghetto into a spacious home in a predomlnatlev white Southwest neighborhood. “He made me go down to the all-white West Manor Recrea tion Center and sign up to plav basketball,” Gerald recalled oi his seven-vear-old ordeal. “That's when mv dream ot a protessional career bagan; when this shadow started following me.” With numerous scholarship oners heaped upon the 176- pound senior, Gerald decided on Howard. The clincher was a pick-up basketball game on the block where a visitor from Washington described Howard as a place to get “a good education and meet a whole lot 01 pretty girls.” The Bison athletic program beneiilted immediately trom Glover's arrival. The neophyte averaged 13.9 points and 8.6 rebounds. His reputation as an The CAROLINIAN Little League Player of the Wedt this week is Charles Hunter, who plays for Raleigh Rescue, for his play against tjie Little mf.mtw Trail Ridta Daily Miles of BaautiAil Trails J & H Stables RALEIGH Blues. In the game against the Little Blues Wednesday night at Chavis Center, Hunter hit two back to back homers. Since the final score for the game was S- 0, Hunter's two runs were very decisive in the win. The runner up for Little League Player of the Wedc is the pitcher for Raleigh Rescue, Cooley, who in the same game with Hunter only gave up 4 hits; so he played a big portion in the win ovu* the LitUe Blues too.

(3) The backhand, usually struck from the right hander’s left side also travels the length ot the court. All other strokes that vou will see are high, low, or abort variations ot these three strokee. Scoring is usually the hard est part 01 tennis to under stand.

It is probably the moat universaliv plaved OI all sports. Wimbledon, also known as the All-England Lawn Tennis Champlon^lpe, began in 1877 to determine who was the beat plaver in all oi Elngland. Since then, it hat gone IntemaUonal and la no longer just Umit^ to male competitors. 01 surtaeea. Wimbledon is the last major tournament to be plaved on grau (hence the name Lawn Tennis). Ihe court on which tennis matches are plaved measures 78 test bv 36 teM. 'ntese dimensions are marked by lines which give the court its diatinctive appearance. Acroee its width, at the exact center ot its 78-toot laigth, ia stretched a net that stands three test tall In the middle and three test alx inches at its sides. The use ot an instrument called a racket and held in the hands ot each player propels the bell back and forth across the net. Ihe object oi the game Is to get the ball serosa the net, keep it within the boundaries ot the court on the other tide and vet out ot the reach ot the opponenta. Tennli can be played with wins the game. “Love” means zero. "Deuce” means the game is 40-aU. The first plaver to win six games, with a two-game lead, wins the set. The bMt of three seta moat often wins the match. There have thus tar been only two black people to gain worle prominence In the game ot tennis. A woman. Althea Gibson, won Wimbledon and the U. S. ChamjHonships at Forest HUla in 1957 and again in 1968, and retired from com petition in 1965. A man, Arthur Ashe, won the U. S. Open in 1968 and Wimbledon in 1976 and will be seen In action at Wimbledon this year. I hope that when I return, I will be able to share with you the hiatorlos ot the other two blacks who will probably play this year tor the lirst time. Until later in July.
