Coaches Care Less
About Winning
by Robert E. Jones
On November 4, 1978, More
house played one of it’s better
games just to come up short, losing
to Clark College 7-6. The game was
well played until Morehouse
scored and was about to attempt
the extra point. What I mean by
this is, why did the coaches decide
to go for the extra point instead of
the two-point conversion? Why?
Because, maybe they felt that a tie
would be better than a lost. But
sports fans, that was silly on the
coaches part! The reason why is
because, if the Tigers had made the
extra point conversion, the game
would have ended in a 7-7 tie. But
the point is that, why settle for a tie
and the Tigers had already lost a
conference game? And Savannah
had already lost to Clark also. So,
Clark College would have won the
conference anyway because they
still were undefeated in the confer
ence. A tie would not have done

any good to Morehouse or Savan
nah. So this week, I shall not critic
ize the players, but the coaches.
Coaches, why didn’t you all
decide to go for the win? Is it that
you all thought that there might
have been enough time to score
again or is it worth a lot to say
“Morehouse tied Clark College.”
In this case, a tie wasn’t worth a
damn!! Some people say a tie is
half a win and half a loss, but if
Morehouse would have scored the
extra point, they still would have
been on the losing end. Well, I see
that the coaches are only worried
about keeping the “lost” column
down and not pushing the “win”
column up. Therefore, people
shouldn’t say that the center made
a bad snap or the holder did not
handle the ball correctly, but the
coaches care less about winning!!
So sports fans, do not worry about
the snap, holder, or the kicker, but
worry about whose going to be
coaching the Tigers next year!!!

lucked out” — winning the raffle
prize: a five-day all-expenses paid
trip for two to Las Vegas donated
by Kentucky Fried Chicken; and a
phone call from Willie Stargell.
More than sixty of the country’s
top athletes, including Willie
Stargell, Reggie Jackson, Maury
Wills and Franco Harris, were on
hand to compete in a “bowl with
the stars” tournament which
attracted almost 1.500 persons.
All profits from the bowling
tournament and raffle will be used
to support patient care, research
and educational efforts for the
Sickle Cell Anemia Fund of
Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Ruth White, director of the
Sickle Cell Society, said, “We can’t
tell you how much the support of
these athletes and Kentucky Fried
Chicken helps the cause. More
than 55,000 blacks in the U.S. have
sickle cell anemia, and a cure can
only be found through costly
research programs. We’re thankful
for the commitment of these
people and organizations.”
Chop, Chop Goes Karate Team
by Jerome Walker
The Morehouse College Karate
team faired well at the Ahn’s
National Open Tae Kwon Do,
Karate, Kong Fu Championships
held November 4, in Macon,
Georgia.
The members of the team that
participated in the tournament
were Count Holland, Stan Hol
land, and Jeff Carrol.
Count Holland fought in the
lightweight green belt division and
defeated two opponents before
being eliminated. One of Holland’s
fights had to be stopped to admin
ister aid to his opponent. Holland’s
swift and potent hook kick was too
much for his opponent to handle.
Holland was eliminated in the
semifinals.
Stan Holland, Count’s older
brother, also competed in the light
weight green belt division. Stan
Holland utilized his awesome hook
kicks and overpowering straight
punches to destroy three of his
opponents. In the finals Holland
lost a close decision to the cham
pion. Holland also entered and
placed second in the Kata competi
tion. Holland’s winning Kata was
an Okinawan kata.
The final member of the team,
Jeff Carrol, entered the lightweight
yellow belt division and the kata
competition. Carrol’s most potent
weapon was his fiercely executed
roundhouse kick, which he fre
quently administered to his oppo
nent’s face.
On behalf of the Maroon Tiger’s
Sports Staff, congratulations on a
job well done and good luck in
future matches.
