lhe Augusta rcmumj a, THE NEWS-REVIEW SPORTS Pi Henri Freeman LIONS STUMBLE AGAIN Win number 5 was a long time coming for the Paine College basketball team, but the winning feeling didn’t last long. In rapid succession the Lions have lost to Bethune Cookman, Florida A&M and Savannah State since winning over Georgia College on January 22. Last night they were in Knoxville to meet Knoxville College. In the month of February most of the Paine games will be played on the road; this means they must add to their winning record where it is more difficult - on the road. Local fans will not get a chance to see the team play more than three times during the season-ending month. LET RICH DO IT? Rich Glover, the outstanding lineman for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and a bonafide All American, has been drafted by the New York Giants. However, the rugged middleguard was not a draft pick of the Giants in the early pickings. It is a foregone conclusion in the professional ranks that Glover will not be able to do the job in the line as a professional. Therefore, the Giants in not choosing to select him early in the draft, must have been looking ahead and converting him to a linebacker and taking advantage of his defensive prowness. His 232 pounds just will not equip him with what he needs to play up front with the bemoths in the pro ranks. When the 1973 NFL season gets underway in September, all eyes will be focused on the New York Giants and how Rich Glover will perform as a professional. He has been a terror on defense as a college gridironer, but he must prove that he can “do it” in the play for pay arena.

Paine lost 95-85. Paige hit with jump shots from 30 feet, drove for lay-ups and hit from every point on the court with deadly accuracy. Five minutes before the end of the first half, he had 29 points and ended the half with 31 points. Savannah switched to a-four man zone defense with one man assigned to guard the 6 foot guard. And held him to 18 points during the second half. Paige hit 46 points from the floor and tossed in 3 more from the foul line. Edward Maner was Paine’s second leading scorer. Both are natives of Savannah. Frank Harper led Savannah with 23 points. STARTS FRIDAY At 1:00 - 2:40 - 4:20 6:00 . 7:40 . 9:2 0 wJ B iMLA/?JJF H Elik M Page 6 $ SPORTS CAPSULE By Mark Southerland National Black News Service In an upset that rocked the boxing world, undefeated challenger George Foreman knocked out the unbeaten world heavyweight champion Joe Frazier in th® second round at their championship bout in Kingston, Jamaica. Foreman so devastated Frazier that referre Arthur Mercante stopped the fight at 1:35 of the second round after Frazier had been floored an astounding six times. The magnitude of Foreman’s victory sparked Vluhammed Ali to proclaim that in his loss to Frazier he had punished him so severely as to cause his downfall against Foreman. In a related incident, Ali’s trainer Drew (Boundini) Brown forced his way into the new heavyweight champions dressing room and shouted “When you gonna fight the real champ?” Ali reportedly has suspended Bundini for his actions. Now Foreman is in the drivers seat, having ruined the hopes of a Frazier-Ali rematch for 3-million each, he can decide who he wishes to fight and when. The speculation continues as to whether he will meet Ali first or whether he will grant Frazier a rematch. Most likely the 24-year-old champion will add to the $375,000 he received in this fight with some easy matches before he decides. Meanwhile Frazier has voiced his determination to regain his title while Ali is calling the ex-champion “washed up.” O J DOMINATE PRO BOWL In a season dominated by running backs it was only fitting that the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl should showcase the games finest runner, Buffalo’s O.J. Simpson. The AFC’s Simpson shattered the post-merger Pro Bowl rushing record of 57 yards with 112 yards in 16 carries. But Simpson’s domination was to come only after another superlative runner, Green Bay’s John Brockington, put the NFC ahead with two first period touchdowns. Unfortunately, this rushing exhibition war frequently interrupted by fumbles and interceptions that combined for ten turnovers. The crucial one was a 12-yard interception and return for a touchdown by Kansas City linebacker Bobby Bell that clinched the AFC’s 33-28 victory. Nebraska’s All-American middle guard.

A crowd of 60,000 was in the national stadium to see the final event, a 2-0 victory by Nigeria over Guinea in soccer, and stormed onto the field before the closing ceremonies.

Egypt captured the most victories as their swimming team won 18 of their total of 25 gold medals. In individual performances none was better than Kenyan Ben Jipcho’s tying of the world record at 8 minutes 20.8 seconds in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. PRUITT COPS CAMP TROPHY Oklahoma halfback Greg Pruitt received another post-season accolade when he was awarded the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy as the year’s outstanding college back by the Washington Touchdown Club. Pruitt, who first came to national prominence when he rushed for 1, 655 yards and a phenomenal 9.4 yards per carry in his junior year, gained 938 yards in 152 carries and scored 86 points this year although he was slowed by a late-season injury. ARMSTRONG HONORED All-American halfback Otis Armstrong of Purdue was honored by the Gridiron Club of Boston with the presentation of the Nils V. Nelson Award for sportsmanship. BLACK ORIOLES TOOK TO JAPAN As the baseball season approaches disgruntled players are looking toward Japan and visa versa. Paul Blair, centerfielder for the Baltimore Orioles, has been threatening to jump to Japan but Oriole executive vice president Frank Cashe appears unworried while pointing to the joint agreement that prevents the Japanese Baseball Association from negotiating with Blair. Another Oriole, leftfielder Don Buford, I has received an offer of SIOO,OOO from the Fukuoka Lions but is as yet undecided. In the minor leagues, Tommy Davis, former National League batting champion, is also eying a Japanese offer. McCOVEY SIGNS FOR $120,000 Last season’s record, the San Francisco Giants’ worst in years, was not one to support much optimism, but veteran first baseman Willie McCovey is very enthusiastic about the upcoming baseball season. He became the first Giant to sign his contract (1973) recently and voiced hope for his complete comeback from the broken arm that interrupted his reign as the game’s premier slugger. The 35-year-old-star reportedly will receive the same salary as in 1972, $120,000.

Raceway ticket office and other locations in neighboring states. Raceway official Stacey Cotton said reservations for Georgia’s premier sporting event are running well ahead of a year ago and all indications point toward the best Atlanta 500 in history. “The competition was tremendous in NASCAR Grand National racing a year ago and there is no reason to believe it won’t be just as good or better this year,” said Cotton. Tickets for the April Ist event, ranging in price from $6 for infield admission to S2O for box seat locations, can be purchased by writing to Atlanta International Raceway’s ticket office, P.O. Box 221, Hampton, Georgia 30228. Cotton said tickets are also available at several metropolitan Atlanta locations as well as Macon, Georgia, Birmingham, Ala., Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn. The 328-lap affair drew an estimated 75,000 spectators last year when Bobby Allison of Hueytown, Ala., put Chevrolet back in the winner’s circle by nipping three-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt at the wire. Foyt had the lead with one lap to go in his famed Wood Brothers Mercury but Allison charged past in the final lap to win in his Chevrolet prepared by legendary Junior Johnson. This year’s event, scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., is expected to draw the two-time winner and defending champion Allison, as well as Foyt, four-time Grand National champion Richard Petty, charger Buddy Baker, three-time Grand National champion David Pearson and all other well-known national stock car racing figures. It will be first time in recent years the race has been held in April. Track superintendant AJf Knight has been hard at work through the winter months whipping the facilities into shape and has pronounced the high-banked oval in “as good a shape as it’s ever been.” Allison holds the Atlanta 500 record which he established in winning the event three years ago. He averaged a shopping 139.554 miles an hour. His speed last year in winning was 128.214 mph.
