Coaches rate
Armstrong best
By United Press International
Although South Atlantic Con
ference basketball coaches
have tabbed Armstrong State to
win the conference champion
ship this year the coach of last
year’s titlist says his team
“will be good again this
season.”
Armstrong State will have
last year’s leading scorers Ike
Williams and Sonny Powell
returning along with 6-foot-B
Sam Berry, who sat out last
year because of accademic
problems.
One conference coach said
“Armstrong State has to be the
favorite, they are loaded with
talent.
West Georgia won the confer
ence championship last year
and then went on to win the
National Association of Inter
collegiate Athletics (NAIA)
tournament in Kansas City,
Mo., The Braves have only one
regular returning but Coach
Roger Kaiser said he expects to
field a good team again this
year. “I think we will have the
best pair of guards in the state
this year in David Edmonds
and Tony Stroud who trans
ferred from Western Kentuck
y,” Kaiser said.
The Braves lost Clarence
“Foots” Walker, who was voted
the most valuable player in last
year’s NAIA tournament in
Kansas City, Mo., and top
scorer Tom Turner through
graduation but have two blue
chip transfer students to go
String may end
for Cowboys
By United Press International
The Dallas Cowboys have
appeared in the National
Football League playoffs for
the last eight years but that
string could end Sunday
against, of all people, the
Houston Oilers.
The Cowboys, who lost 28-21
to Washington Sunday, are 5-5
and simply cannot afford to
lose if they hope to make the
playoffs for a ninth straight
time. St. Louis leads the
National Conference East with
an 8-2 record and Washington is
7-3.
There is very little love lost
between Houston and Dallas,
Texas’ pro clubs, and it has
manifested itself over the years

1974 is not the year of yesterday, but the year

meet tomorrow’s challenges effectively and for
the greatest benefit of each citizen.
It’s time for a change.

along with regular guard
Edmonds.
Stroud, along with Sam
Christian, a 6-8, 260-pound
junior college transfer student,
are two newcomers Kaiser is
counting on to make the Braves
a contender. Christian was
voted the outstanding junior
college player in Georgia last
year and Stroud was voted the
outstanding high school player
in Chicago his senior year.
Valdosta State is also expect
ed to field a strong contender
with regulars Don Reason, who
averaged 24.6 ppg last year, 6-6
Kenny Alston and guard Larry
Miller returning.
Augusta will depend on 6-7
Mike Shea who scored at a 16.1
clip last year to improve on its
1974 fourth place finish.
James Mitchell, who ave
raged 20 rebounds a game last
year will return for Columbus
who finished in fifth place last
year.
Southern Tech was hit hard
by graduation and conference
coaches have picked the Tech
men to finish last in the
conference again this year.
Conference coaches have
picked North Georgia to win
the Georgia Intercollegiate Ath
letic Conference. The Saints,
second in the GIAC last year,
returns four regulars, including
6-5 senior forward Jim Hyder,
the leading conference scorer
the past two years, from the
team that won the post-season
conference tournament and lost
with a number of fights, both
on the field and in the stands.
The big difference this year is
that Houston is playing winning
football.
The Oilers were 1-13 the past
two years but have won four in
a row to pull to 5-5 this season
and actually have an outside
shot at a wild card berth in the
American Conference.
“The Oilers have improved
every week and right now
they’re playing as well as
anyone,” Staubach said.
“They’ve got a lot of things
going for them now and that
makes for a great attitude.
They believe they can win.
We’re not out of it (the
playoffs) but we can’t think

AGE: 30 years
to National champion West
Georgia in the finals of the
NAIA District 25 tournment.
Shorter College is picked to
finish second with last year’s
champion in third
place.
Shorter returns three starters
from last year’s team. The
Hawks will depend on 6-4 senior
Elgin Kendall who scored at a
21.5 points per game average to
lead them to the conference
championship. Morris Williams
(17.2 ppg and 11 rebounds)
should regain his eligiblity for
the second semester. Another
starter back for the Hawks is
Lanny Hamilton who averaged
10.7 points per game last year.
LaGrange returns three
starters from last year, includ
ing 6-7 Floyd Mack, and guards
David Rainey and Terry
Kingston. LaGrange is expected
to build its team around Mack,
the leading rebounder and the
second leading scorer in the
GIAC last year.
Berry, with four starters
returning, was picked to finish
fourth, Georgia Southwestern,
with all-conference Calvin
Hunter returning, is picked for
fifth place.

College and Georgia College
tabbed for seventh and eight

The Cowboys play Washing

make that game practically
meaningless for Dallas.
