The Augusta News-Review • January 8,1976 -
Glenn Hills scores two points from the side.
Louisville Holds Off Glenn Hills
by Peter Williams
Louisville jumped off to an
early lead and held off repeated
attempts by Glenn Hills to
come from behind to post a
57-5 1 win over the Spartans in
a Region 7-A East game last
Friday night.
Louisville’s domination of
the boards proved to be their
key to victory as they
repeatedly got the second shot
and drew fouls under their own
basket.
Both teams started the game
sluggishly, displaying effects of
the holiday layoff. The visiting
Eagles scored first when
William Washington made a
baseline jumper with nearly
three minutes gone in the
game. The Spartan’s Calvin

Overstreet tied it up on a
lay-up. Louisville then ran off
to a 13-8 first quarter lead
working the ball inside the
Glenn Hills zone.
The two teams matched
points in the second quarter
with 12 apiece as Louisville
maintained its five-point lead
at the end of the half, 25-10.
The Spartans had managed to
pull down only three rebounds
in the first half and shot a cold
29% from the field.
In the third quarter, the two
clubs again matched points
with 14 each as Louisville led
39-34. The Eagles managed to
stretch their lead to nine points
50-41 with three minutes left
in the game, but the Spartans

To Come Back
. A * i •
The Paine College Lions
stopped previously undefeated
Albany State College Tuesday
night 90-81.
Following the game Lion
Coach Ernest Tolbert was
exuberant. Ram Coach Oliver
Jones seething with anger.
“It was a big game,” Tolbert
said. “They did everything
right. We moved the ball down
the floor before they could set
up. We hit the open man. We
shot about 80% from the floor.
We had a good night. The
‘dream offense’ came true.”
Oliver blamed the officiating
for his team’s loss and vowed
never to bring a team to
Augusta again to play Paine. “I
was especially disappointed in
the officiating. Things tonight
were just like a pick-up game.
We won’t be coming back up
here. We can’t afford to.”
“I can understand home
team advantage...” he said,
shaking his head. “But we
won’t be back as long as I’m
the coach.”
Jones was a star with Albany
in the sixties. Three of his
brothers graduated from
Albany State. All four of them
; played in the professional
i ranks. He played with
I Cincinnati. Melvin played with
i Denver. Wilbur plays for the

all the progress of the
Kennedy-Johnson years.
In both the 19th and 20th
centuries, Blacks made
substantial gains only to have
the dominant white society
“by hook and by crook”
reverse those gains.
WHICH WAY, BLACK MAN
Walker said that it is up to
Black folk to reestablish the
morality of America and
develop a land of the free and a
home of the brave.
Throughout his speech Dr.
Walker weighed the alternatives
of the Black struggle. His
subject was “Which way, Black
man?”
“There are more segregated
schools now than before 1954.
“Black unemployment is
double that of whites. How
long will it be before we
become citizens of these
United States ?

relinquished it.
The early pattern was one of
Paine getting downcourt fast
with Robinson and Coxon
filling the basket from outside.
The Rams got downcourt just
as fast, usually too fast for the
Jones brothers, and fired it up.
The visitors hit nine of 21 in
the first 10 minutes, usually
without the dependable Jones
boys underneath. As a result,
Paine got the rebound and
went the other way.
With Robinson hitting 12
points and Coxon eight, the
Lions led 32-21 after 10
minutes, and that was the
eventful margin. The Lions
fattened the lead during the
second 10 minutes and were in
front 56-39 at the half.
Robinson had 18 points at
intermission, his best half of
the year, while Gussie had 13.
The Jones boys accounting for
20 points, 12 for Major, while
leading shooter Ben Griggs had
nine.
Tolbert .changed tactics in
the second half, going to the
four comers. The Rams had
nobody who could stay with
Coxon. A trio accumulated
seven fouls between them
trying. The littlest Lion and
the 6-2 Jackson took turns
dribbling around the Ram
defense.
A.R. Johnson Defeats
Louisville 78-42
Last Saturday the A.R.
Johnson Panthers won their
second regular season game.
A.R.J. boys won the game
with a 78-42 decision, beating
the Louisville Eagles.
The high scorers were
Antonia Smith, with 25 points
annihilation are not acceptable
alternatives, according to Dr.
Walker.
Dr. Walker had harsh words
for “Black folk who God has
educated,” who now have tea
and cookies with white folk
and are now convinced that
they are not like other Blacks.
They can’t be Baptist and
Methodists anymore, they have
to become Episcopalians and
Presbyterians.
“They don’t want to be
around those niggers jumpin’
up and dowii and shouting and
carrying on.
“There is nothing wrong
with getting high degrees, but
let your heart stay with the
Black community. Don’t forget
the bridge that brought you
over.”
Violence, he said, is no way
for Black people. “The Black
Panthers went around selling
wolf tickets. White folks got
the H-Bomb and we got a
switchblade, and don’t even
know how to make matches.
“If the Panthers, instead of
taking up guns, had gotten an
education, put on the
camouflage of a Brooks
Brothers suit and infiltrated
Wall Street in order to do
something about the
redistribution of wealth in the
United States, maybe they
would still be an active, viable
organization today.
Blacks, he said, must
accomodate ourselves with the
skills and expertise of this
nation and “keep our hands in
God’s hand or we aren’t going
to make it.” The salvation of
Black people is education and
“We’ve got to make tire

Black liberation. Whatever
you’re doing, if it hasn’t got

Whether you’re cooking,
painting or whatever, you
should have liberation as your
objective.
And he warned, “We’ve got
'to keep Black institutions in
our own hands, with us making
decisions and policy.
Emphasizing again that
religion is the backbone of the
Black movement, he said,
“We’re about to step off into a
new year. Keep your eye on
the arc of the covenant. Walk,
together children and don’t
you get weary. There’s a great
camp meeting in the Promised
Land.
