MORGAN-GRAMBLING
GAME: SHOWCASE FOR
THE PROS
The professional football
scene is landscaped with
players from both Morgan
State and Gramblirtg Colleges.
This fact makes it imperative
that pro scouts make the
pilgrimage to the Annual
Whitney M. Young, Jr.
Memorial Football Classic,
where the two schools meet
each other head-on.
Morgan and Grambling play
in the 3rd Annual Whitney M.
Young, Jr. Memorial Classic at
Yankee Stadium on Saturday,
September 22nd, with
proceeds going to educational
programs of the New York
Urban League as well as to the
two schools.
Seven players from the 1972
“Classic” have been impressive
in their rookie stint at pro
camps in both the National
Football League and the
Canadian Football League.
Leading the parade is Matt
Reed, All-America quarterback
from Grambling The 6-5, 225
lb. Reed is with the Denver
Broncos and has an excellent
chance of sticking.
Other Grambling players
getting the once-over in pro
tryouts are Lee Fobbs a 5-11,
190 pound halfback. Lee
headed up North to Canada
and is a member of the Ottawa
team. Charles Smith, a 6 foot,
190 pounder, is making it as a
receiver with the Los Angeles
Rams, and joining him on the
coast is halfback Herman

Dallas Cowboys are giving
linebacker Walter Baisy a
chance to make the squad. Al
Dennis is also with the
Cowboys shooting at an
offensive tackle slot. John
Billizon is hoping to stick with
the New York Giants as a
tackler.
On the Morgan State side
three youngsters are vying for
pro berths. Ron Mayo an
outstanding receiver and place
kicker is hoping to catch on
with he Houston Oilers. The
other two ex-Morganites are
attempting to make then
home-town teams; Stan Cherry
as a defensive end with the
Baltimore Colts and John
Tiny’ Andrews as a defensive
tackle with the Detroit Lions.
The 1973 version of the
game should produce another
bumper crop for the pro ranks.
Grambling sports a defensive
line that averages 265 pounds
from end to end and Morgan
State has a number of speed
merchants.
Tickets to this year’s classic
are nown sale at the New York

JIM MORRIS
Jim Morris First To Hold 'Mr. USA’
And 'Mr. America’ Titles Simultaneously
Los Angeles --- “Mr.
America”. “Mr. USA”. Both of
these 1973 Amateur Athletic
Union titles are held by a
soft-spoken colossus from Los
Angeles named Jim Morris. And
if “Black is Beautiful” can be
realized in one man, the male
black beauty stateside has to be
6’l”, 215 pound Jim. But Jim
represents all America, not just
the black community.
These titles represent the top
of the bodybuilding pyramid in
this country. Thousands of men
compete yearly in AAU
contests and, until this year, no
one had taken both titles in the
sameyear. Furthermore,atage 37,
Jim is the oldest to hold either
title or both. He also took the
“Mr. America” title by the
largest victory margin ever.
To appreciate the
significance of Jim’s
accomplishments, consider that
the United States according to
the 1 970 Census, has
98,912,192 men. AAU officials
have guessed that over 50
million of them have sets of
“iron” (weights) laying about in
garages or attics, in closets or
under beds. Why? Simply,
becuase we male chauvinists
want to look better, to better
show off our masculine
plumage.
Jim acknowledges that he is
the second black to win these
AAU championships, which
date back to 1946. “Chris
Dickerson, from New York
City, won ‘Mr. USA’ in 1969;
next year he took ‘Mr. America’

title. This year Willie Johnson of
Ohio and Nathan Le Blanc, San
Francisco both black, were
finalists.”
No one can doubt Jim looks
good...but how strong is he:
Well, his lifting records set at a
body weight of 181 pounds,
are: clean & jerk, 370 pounds;
snatch, 285 pounds; press, 325
pounds; for a total of 980
pounds. He set them when he
was New York State Champion.
How do bodybuilders differ
from weight men?
“Bodybuilding is more creative
than weight lifting”, states Jim.
“In weight lifting, you
concentrate on getting a weight
overhead; that’s the ultimate
whether you’re using a snatch,
press, or jerk. On the other
hand, bodybuilding is
aesthetic—almost creative.
Whereas an artist works with
oils or sculpture to realize
himself, the bodybuilder

realizes himself through his own
body. The bodybuilder
concentrates on weight training
and on nutrition.
“You have to be really into
it, you have to learn how your
particular body functions and
responds.”
Bodybuilding has been big
with Jim for the 18 years he’s
been into it. “Although I wasn’t
exactly a 97 pound weakling, I
wasn’t too imposing as a
youngster. I even had asthma
attacks regularly.
“But I did have success the
first time 1 hoisted some
weights. This sucess fired me up,
bolstered my feelings about
myself. I stayed with it and this
attitude of success, this positive
momentum has carried over
into all of my life.
“I’ve had to make sacrifices
on a daily basis. I train regularly
and try to extract the most from
each workout. It’s funny...not
too many poeple in this country
have ever seen a bodybuilding
contest, even though millions
upon millions of people work
with weights.”
What has been another great
benefit to him besides his having
a stupendous body?
“Confidence-I’ve developed it
as a direct result of training with
weights. I know myself better
and I’m better prepared to meet
people on any level. I’ve been a
grocery products salesman for
Carnation Company since 1969;
my territory is Santa Monica
and San Fernando. Before I
walk in to see a prospect, I know
that I really know myself, my
company and products....l’m
confident!”
Jim has helped himself
through hard work. Moreover,
he enjoys helping others,
particularly children and young
people. Once invited to speak
and give a bodybuilding
demonstration to youngsters at
a juvenile hall, Jim found it
fascinating. “There are two
kinds of kids there - those with
nowhere to go and the hardcore
delinquents.” As he explains,
“The ones with nowhere to go
asked searching questions about
my life-style. They were
obviously looking for a model.”
The hardcores were awed by his
strength, because “brute
strength is what they respect.”
Most of them continued to ask
Jim questions long after his
exhibition.
‘‘ H elping others get
themselves together,
strengthening their self
concepts, developing their
confindence: that’s where it’s
at, ” says Jim. “any way I can
reach other, individually and
