“I have the style and
desire to defeat Thomas
Hearns,” says Green.
“He can’t take it to the
body and I can give it.
He always runs from a
body attack. I’m going to
get inside him and chop
him down just as Sugar
Ray Leonard did.”
“Green is the kind of
pressing, body puncher
that Hearns always
avoided on the way up,”
says a veteran boxing ob
server. “Fights are made
by styles and this one is a
dandy. Green is not as
well-known as Sugar Ray
Leonard, but he bangs to
the body much harder.

Hearns won the cham

Pan-Am games reflections
Two weeks ago the nin
th annual Pan-American
Games came to a close.
Teams from most of the
Latin American coun
tries, Canada and the
United States were in
Caracas, Venezuela to
compete for the gold,
silver and bronze medals.
The Pan-American
Games are a carbon copy
of the Olympics. They
give the athlete a chance
to experience most of
what goes on during the
Olympics. The only dif
ference is perhaps the
competiton.
However, the biggest
tune-up for the 1984
Olmpics was highly com
petitive. Several world
and Pan-Am game recor
ds bit the dust.
While participants
were breaking records on
the track, fields and
arenas, another record
was being broken.
These games saw more
participants suspended
than in any of the other
games. Several athletes
were forced not to com
pete or lost medals they
had already won because
urine tests revealed the
use of illegal drugs.
Steroids, a drug used to
increase strength, was the
main culprit.
The news-media con
tinuously made us aware
of the Anti-American
feelings by the games’
spectators. Yet, Black
Americans were many of
the fans’ favorite
athletes. The crowds were
thrilled at these athletes’
spectacular performan
ces. So who were the fans
hostile against?
It was good to see
Black Americans in
volved in our non
traditional sports. I was
beginning to think we
could only box, play
football, basketball,
baseball and run track.
Black athletes won gold
medals in fencing, swim
ming, cycling, and other
team sports.
Overall, the Americans
dominated the games.
We out distanced our
nearest competitor,
Cuba, in gold, silver and
bronze medals. If the
games were any in
dication of how com
petitive we will be in the
1984 Olympics, the U.S.
should be very successful
in Los Angeles in 1984.

is 6-2 185 pound Kenny

Game of the Week
Our game of the week
pits two unbeaten teams
who both appear to be
strong. This week-end'
Westside will visit Glenn
Hills. Both teams are
coming off impressive
wins; both teams look
strong.
Westside has always
been hard to beat because
of their fundamental
football skills. Well,
Glenn Hills is not far
behind, and I think
somebody finally has
Westside’s number.
If Glenn Hills defense
can come through, I see
an upset in the making.
I’m going with Glenn
Hills by two touchdowns.

solutions unclear. Black
leaders were united when
marching against legal
segregation. They differ
widely on how to fight
poverty, which is, after
all, not strictly “a Black
problem.”
Bayard Rustin, thinks
the “83” march was a
bad idea.
A mass movement
always has to say
something simple and
direct,” they learned
Rustin said, and pover
ty’s solutions are elusive.
This column emphatically
agrees with Mr. Rustin.
What we need is to have a
big march to two
places—to the
registration booth and to
the ballot box.
