The Augusta News-Review - June 24, 1976
Augusta Cager Stars
At St. Paul’s
By Tracy Williams
At Tubman Junior High
School four years ago as a
K- yer under basketballhcoach
n Brock (now at ARC), the
naturally-talented Doug Collins
didn't even get to start, and
hardly ever got to play. This
season the 6-2 freshman
standout from Augusta’s Glenn
Hills High virtually ripped the
nets and rewrote record books,
as he led the St. Paul’s College
(Lawrenceville, Va.) jayvee to a
12-1 record. While with the
varsity, his team managed a
10-12 mark.
However, after such a superb
season, Collins has decided to
display his talents at guard in
front of the home crowd by
transferring to Augusta
College. “At St. Paul’s, I found
that such a demanding
basketball program did not
emphasize your academic life,’’
said Collins, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Julius Collins of
Bellemeade Drive.
What is St. Paul’s lost is
certain to be Augusta’s gain.
Collins averaged 28.2 points
per game (2nd in the league)
for the junior varsity and
helped his team to a first-place
position in CIAA (Central
Intercollegiate Athletic
Association). On the St. Paul’s
varsity, Collins threw in seven
points per contest, playing
against the likes of Hampton
Institute, Winston Salem State,
and Norfolk State.
As a jayvee star, he scored
48 points in a single game
twice and another time made
27 free throws in one game.
“The competition was hard,”
Collins commented, “and it
was very taxing at first. What
carried me this year was that 1
had a whole lot of pride.”
The 18-year-old Collins
claimed that he just didn’t feel
at ease up at St. Paul’s, even
though his coach had plans to
build the team aroiyid his ace
newcomer. “There were a lot
of factors that caused me to
change schools,”- said Collins,
who credits teammate Donny
Roberts of Thomson with
helping make things go
smoother. “Right now I’m
looking forward to A.C.”
Known to Augusta area
coaches as a remarkable
outside shooter, he starred at
Glenn Hills High under coach
Charles Evans. Collins received
the B-team Most Valuable
Player in his sophomore year
and was awarded the most
valuable offense trophy as a
senior. In that final prep year,
he scored 18 points per game
on one of Glenn Hills’ better
squads.
During his main stay in high
school, Evans labelled him
“little Dr. J” after Julius
Erving, the pro star. Countless
times, Collins thrilled crowds
with jump shots from 25-feet

Augusta College Coach
Marvin Vanover will try to use
him at a pointguard position.
“I’ll feel more comfortable
with home-town support,”
beamed Collins, apparently
satisfied with the way things
have turned out since those
days at Tubman. This summer,
he will be playing in Paine
College’s summer league.
But basketball is not the
only interest for Collins. This
spring he went out and picked
up a golf club for the first time
and eventually made his
school’s team. He was also a
trumpeter in the marching
band in high school. In college,
he plans to major in
psychology. And after college?
Sheridan Henderson Recruited
Bv Savannah State
Savannah State Tigerette
head coach Jimmie Westley
thought he was finished with
signing players two weeks ago,
but added today one more
player to the team in Glenn
Hills High superstar Sheridan
Ann Henderson of Augusta.
Westley just couldn’t resist
signing the 5-7 Henderson who
plays guard. She averaged 20
points per game, 10 rebounds,
and 10 assists. This past season
she was her team’s Most
Valuable Player, leading them
to an 18-7 record.
Ann’s coach, Faye Ruffin,
said this about her former star,

Zackery Howard fired a
two-hitter to lead Supreme
Fashion to a 10-2 victory over
Augusta Electric Motor in the
Recreation Department men’s
fast-pitch league action.
Supreme scored 6 runs in
the third inning with Alvin
Jordon, Joe Lynch, and Charlie
Collins each with a 2 RBl’s.
Joe Lyons gave Supreme
more insurance runs in the
fifth as he doubled, scoring
John Kelly and Lynch, who
got on by walks.

“As much as I enjoy
basketball, I don't think I
would prefer pro ball,” Collins
“She’s going to be a fine
college player. She is good
defensively and just as effective
offensively. She likes die

team employs, and she never
gets tired. Most of her points
come byway of long range
shots.”

wanted,” said the Rev. Young,
“it would have taken 15,
costing us 5200.000. And all of
this would have been invested
into a temporary situation.
Last week’s decision was our
only apparent accepted
avenue.” He added,
“Otherwise, the courts would
have wanted to know why we
went on, say, double session
with such ample space at
Josey.”
Dr. Washington, married to
retired educator and city
councilman Dr. I.E.
Washington, serves as
chairperson of the board’s
Committee for Instruction and
Student Affairs. In a state-wide
move, Georgia Governor
George Busbee appointed her
last Friday to an advisory
committee to study
improvements in education. “I
view it as a challenge,” she
said. “Hl be making a
contribution, as well as gaining
an opportunity to study and
learn.”
Over the past few years, the
school system has experienced
a marked increase in
administrative jobs. The most
recent was the addition of 17
assistant principals. Both Dr.
Washington and the Rev.
Young laud these personnel

stated. “Basketball is just
something to do, while I
pursue a career.”

in most of the Tigerette games
and averaged 7 points per

moves. “It’s definitely a good
thing,” Dr. Washington stated.
“Since school work involves a
lot of details, coordination of
programs and adequate
supervision are both important
and necessary.”
The Rev. Young said, “The
assistant principals were
definitely needed to help in the
area of discipline.
As for innovative plans, they
foresee the development of a
comprehensive high school
program, growth of
pre-schools, and efficiency of
receding programs. Dr.
Washington contends that the
quarter system of schools
operating year round is just
around the corner and will be
very beneficiary.

most vital institutions
evidently has been speaking up,
as the community becomes
well-aware of improvements
and advancements for Blacks.
When asked about her
personal rewards from her
involvement, Dr. Washington
simply replied, “What could be
more challenging and
interesting than the growth and
development of our young!”
“MARCH”
Continued from Page 1
“There was a willingness on
our part not to appear to be
vindictive or prejudicial or
trying to hurt anyone,” Smith
said.
Smith also said there was a
dispute about whether the
marchers were walking on the
shoulder of the road or on the
roadway itself.
“The counsel for the defense
indicated they had a sincere
desire to continue their march
to Washington,” Smith said. “I
told him if they were gone and
left the state, the charges
would be dismissed.”
Tyrone Brooks, leader oi the
Southern leg of the march
which is sponsored by the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, said the walk
would resume last week under
the terms of the agreement
“We consider the decision
today a victory,” Brooks said.

Augusta Music Defeats
Augusta Transit 14-13
By John E. Hardy 11l
Frank Davis highlighted a
5-run 7th inning with the first
grand-slam home run hit this
year in fast-pitch action.
With the Augusta Transit
leading 12-7 going into the last
inning, Augusta Music got the
bases loaded on a single and
two walks before Davis hit the
first pitch to right-center field.
Wallace Branch Library
Holds Monthly Book
Review
On Tuesday, June 29th at 6
p.m., Mrs. Ann Brown will
present a review of Sam
Yette’s, The Choice, at Wallace
Branch Library.
The book is based on facts
and evidence compiled by
Yette while he was a journalist
for the Washington Post and
suggests that the ruling class is
trying to destroy and suppress
the masses. Yette challenges
the reader to seriously consider
his conclusion as a course of
survival against oppression.
Food Stamp
Recipients May
Get Retroactive
Benefits
As a result of a court order
of the U.S. District Court of
California, vendor payments
paid by the Department of
Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) are no
longer included as income for
the Food Stamp Program.
The court order requires
that retroactive benefits be
given to all households who
were denied food stamps or
had to pay a higher price after
October 8, 1975, because
vendor payments from HUD
were included as income.
If you think you may be
eligible for retractive benefits,
contact your local Department
of Family and Children
Services.
Brooks said the marchers
would be going to Sandersville,
Heidelburg, and Meridian
before leaving the state.
The agreement apparently
was based on a letter from the
State Department of Public
Safety saying that the marchers
would have the department s
assistance during their walk
through Mississippi.
In addition to the 17
marchers, the attorney’s said
charges against three juveniles
also would be dropped.
The marchers were arrested
last month while walking along
a highway in Jones County.
The charges of impeding traffic
against some persons were
dismissed during a preliminary
hearing.
Brooks, who was walking
with the group that left New
Orleans April 4, said they had
assumed they would have
cooperation from the highway
patro.
“We will have officers in
contact with your groups from
time to time during your
presence in our state,” said a
letter from Public Safety
Commissioner W.O. Dillard to
the SCLC office in Atlanta.
The Southern leg of the
march is expected to join two
other groups for a
demonstration in Washington
in October, Brooks said.
About 25 persons staged an
all-night vigil outside the Jones
County Courthouse prior to
the hearing and some said they
planned to join the march.
Augusta Transit went ahead
in the top of the ningth on a
RBI single by George Jones.
In me last inning, James
Seabrooks scored on a double
to right by Ellis McDaniel to
tie the score 13-13.
With only one out, James
Kenneth hit a long sacrifice fly
to give Augusta Music the
victory.
This review will reintroduce
the monthly book reviews at
Wallace Branch Library. The
public is urged to attend.

Roy Wilkins, executive
director of the National
Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP), will receive
the prestigous A. Phillip
Randolph Award at the
Twelfth Annual Convocation
of the Opportunities Centers of
America.
The award will be formally

Luncheon, Monday, August
30, at 1 p.m. The Community
Day Luncheon is one of the
highlights of the OIC
Convocation which will be
convene in Philadelphia, Pa.,
from August 29 to September
1. More than 3,000 delegates
and observers from the United
States, Africa and Latin
America are expected to
attend.
“The A. Phillip Randolph
Award is given annually by
OIC to a Black American who
has made a significant
contribution affecting the
masses of minority citizens,”
Dr. Sullivan said.

founder and president of
Operation PUSH; Charles
Everys, mayor, Fayette, Miss.;
and Dr. Carlton Goddlett,

South Africa
Mental
Patients Used
As Slaves
Charges that more than
8,000 Blacks are being held in
South Africa Psychiatric
“camps” and hired out as
cheap labor force have
prompted a United Nations
committee to call for an
international investigation into
what it termed “shocking
evidence of maltreatment of
African mental patients.”
In a letter to the World
Health Organization, Jeanne
Martin-Cisse (Guinea),
chairman of the UN Special
Committee against Apartheid,
accused the South African
government of inhumane
practices and stated that
evidence presented to the
committee calls for “an urgent
international investigation and
it would be most appropriate
for the World Health
Organization to consider the
matter and take appropriate
action.”
A similar call for an
investigation was made by
Nicasio G. Valderrama
(Phillip ines) in which he asked
the ad hoc working group of
the Commission of Human
Rights to work in cooperation
with the committee to ensure
that the investigation was
thorough.
Both requests came in
response to a series of articles
published in February by a
Swedish newspaper, Dagens
Nyheter, which detailed
instances of abusive treatment
of Black mental patients in
South Africa and charged that
patients confined in the
psychiatric camps are forced to
work in fields, wear tom
clothing, and defecate on the
floor. The article stated that
the inmates generally remain in
the institutions until death.
