The Augusta News-Review - December 6, 1973 December "Encore” Takes Wilt Chamberlain To Task For Committing A Personal Foul In a cover story that is destined to be as controversial as the book it is reviewing, the editors of ENCORE answer W ilt Chamberlain, basketball superstar, on his attitudes toward Black and white women as sexual partners, racial relations and politics. The essay, “Wilt: Commits a Personal Foul”, appears in the December issue of ENCORE, the Monthly News Magazine, on sale at newsstands across the nation on Nov. 27, 1973. Senior Editor Lynn Sharpe refutes Chamberlain in the form of a “Dear Wilt” letter. After commenting that, at first glance, the autobiography looks like “a not-so-ordinary book about basketball” and praising the author for being “right on target about teams, coaches and players,” Ms. Sharpe says she began to get confused when the seven footer got into race relations and SAND BAR FERRY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL JAGUARS 1973-1974 Junior High Football Champions The Jaguars record was 8-0-1 and unscored on.

Page 6 racism. “Why do you find it necessary,’’she asks “to describe yourself as ‘bronze’ or ‘copper-colored?’ ... The only people you put down for ‘labeling’ are Black folks, who you say are aggravating the racial situation by all their angry rhetoric and hate-whitey ideas ... It seems peculiar that a sophisticated world traveler like you should find it necessary to show how liberal you are by telling us how many of your friends are white and how many are Black.” As to politics, the reviewer takes Chamberlain to task for proudly telling the world about how Richard Milhous Nixon used him - and with his consent. “Wasn’t it obvious that Nixon was using you to appease the Blacks in the Party?” asks Ms. Sharpe. As to his praise for Nixon, Lynn Sharpe believes it is ludicrous that a Black man in Chamberlain’s position would allow himself to be exploited as an apologist for Nixon. But it is Chamberlain’s discussion of Black women that particularly raises essayist Sharpe’s ire. Answering Wilt’s preference to date whites because of “common interests and aptitudes” and because Black women are not well-read, she suggests that “perhaps the reason you don’t get to meet Black women is not because they don’t have the money to move in the same circles as you, but because they might not find the circles you move in interesting”. As to his argument that “Black women don’t have sophistication,” the reviewer asks “What’s so sophisticated about ‘making love’ in an airplane bathroom ... or doing a ‘Deep Throat’ performance in public?” In his book, Chamberlain states that “many Black girls grow up thinking of sex as furtive and dirty, and they can’t respond as fully as they should to a man.” Ms. Sharpe replies: “If Black women (not ’girls’) have any problems with sex, they only share the hang-ups imposed on all of us. Black and white, by society’s morals.” In her conclusion, Lynn Sharpe tells the ballplaying millionaire, “Incredibly, in the process of proving your individuality, intellectualism and sophistication, you have become the very thing you dislike: the stereotype of a “jock” who wallows only in sports and sex”. On the cover, artist Bob West shows a shackled Wilt, seated on a basketball, being dragged, like a house-pet, by a scantily-clad white woman.” MAXIE MEN STORE 1.154 Broad 51.

During the early fifties, Jenkins was a starting guard and captain of Paine’s team during his senior year under the late and legendary James Brown. The newly appointed Augusta born coach revealed that although he is serving for the first time as a collegiate coach, the profession is one in which he is well experienced as he has been “coaching all his life.” His coaching career began shortly after his four year tenure in “Lion Land”. He enlisted in the army and later served as head coach at his army post. After returning to civilian life, he coached in elementary school and was the Coordinator of City Recreation Activities. During his 17 years of coaching, Jenkins proudly boasted of never having a losing season. When asked about his feelings concerning returning to coach at his alma mater he replied, “It’s really nice to be back, especially after being gone for 20 years. I am really proud of the fine bunch of young men on this year’s squad.” As most sports fans know small college coaches don’t make very much money and coach Jenkins is no execution. “I must admit it wasn’t the money that brought me back, but more than anything else, it was my deep love for the college and for basketball that prompted me to come back.” Whether it can be credited to the presence of the new coach is debatable, but the Lions are undefeated in their first three games. Jenkins told the News-Review, “I think that Raymond Jenkins (second from right) studies court action with head coach, Ernest Tolbert. the key to victory thus far has been unity and an unselfish attitude among the players which has resulted in a very balanced attack.” Walker Ford, Inc. 1225 Walton Way THE CSRA’S GREATEST B SALES TEAM WORKING W H FOR YOU . ~ $lB9 Down fit il Willie Coquitt ## Q | SALE!** Ca ’*' n HHI $189.00 Down $78.34 A Month Total Price 2841.00 Z\» Total Down Paymentlß9.oo _T«.I , Unpaid Balance 2652.00 JjMMMMMHMMMMMMHHMRtoSKSa Finance Chargeß2l.Bl Total of Payments 3760.32 TORINO Defferred Payment Price 3949.32 Number of Payments .48 at 78.34 $189.00 Down $79.95 APR 12 67% Total Price 2895.00 Total Down Paymentlß9.oo Unpaid Balance 2706.00 '. ~,r ’ ;Finance Charge 839.19 ... ~TA»in Total of Payments Defferred Payment Price .. 4026.60 Number of Payments 48 at 79.95 $lB9 Down $114.51 APR 4^ Total Price 4075.00 Total Down Payment 189.00 Unpaid Balance 3886.00 Finance Charge 1204.97 LTD Total of Paymentssslo.Bß Deffered Payment Price 5699.88 Number of Payments 48 at 114.51 PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE STATE APR AND LOCAL TAXES AND DEALER PREPARATION FOR FREE CREDIT CHECK CALL 722-5371 l Finally Jenkins fondly reminisced about his freshman year at Paine when Coach Brown appointed him “captain” of the fifth string. No doubt it’s been a rather long, hard road from a mediocre fifth string captain to assistant coach.
