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.

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’ MAXWELL HOUSE PHARMACY —OPEN ALL DAY SEVEN PAYS PER WEEK— -1002 GREENE ST. 722-4695 722-7088 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 I MOW IA NEW NAME FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE] | 722-0482 | | Augusta, Georgia | s:■ 1973 BUICK ELECTRA 225 ££ 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 WALKER INC. 1973 Year End Close-Out j ALL 1973 Ford Cars 1 and Trucks Are !
