News-Review, August 19, 1971 - THE NEWS-REVIEW SPORTS I ♦ Henri Freeman A NEW LEASE ON LIFE ... FOR ONE When the deal between the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots involving Duane Thomas fell through, 1969 rookie NFL sensation Carl Garrett went back to the Pats. No doubt Garrett is a happy fellow now for he is still among old friends and seemingly doing well during the exhibition season. While Garrett is back with his old team, Thomas is on the outside looking in. He is not back with the Cowboys, and it doesn’t look as if that’s going to happen. From this corner it seems to be one of two things. Either Duane Thomas has been counseled very poorly or he has let his 1970 success get the best of him, thus popping off too much, too loud and too long. Let us hope the youngster will get things all in order and wind up on a team that will freely accept him. Then he’ll be able to make his contribution to NFL football. FOOTBALL THE ONE AND ONE WAY It looks like local high scljpol football among 4AAA schools will be scheduled very much like it was last year. Teams in the region will have two cracks at each other. Os course this means that local 4AAA teams will not get a chance to lock horns with any “outsiders.” Although the football played in this region by the local teams and the teams from Milledgeville and Sandersville is top caliber, local gridiron fans would like to see other outside teams perform here. GREAT BLACK ATHLETES Lenny Ford Born 1926 Michigan Won All-American honors with Wolverines in 1940. An angular athlete, he was one of the best ends Browns ever had. Extremely tough and fast as a rabbit. Willie Gallimore Born 1943 Florida A & M Starred at scatback on the great Gator Teams under Jake Gaither. Had blazing speed and used sharp twists. With Bears until his death by auto accident. Roosevelt “Rosey” Grier Born Cuthbert, Ga., 1932 Penn State A seasoned defensive tackle, for years a big wheel in Giants’ famed goal line stands. A 280 lb. giant who struck fear in hearts of enemy rushers. Now a TV actor. “Big Train” Moody Born 1916 Morris Brown A fast moving back who ran wild in black college ranks. His 6-3, 200-pound body bristled with ability. Literally blasted tacklers out of his path. Ken Washington Born Los Angeles, Calif., 1922 UCLA Rated one of greatest running backs. Holds Bruins 3 year mark of 1,915 yds. All- American in 1939. the troupe and more fans lined the 12 mile road leading from the airport into Lagos. Brown’s first stop was a courtesy call to the palace of the Oba of Lagos, Adeyinka Oyekan 11, where he spent over an hour comparing stories of blackness and manhood with His Highness. Brown was proclaimed a Freeman of Lagos by Oba Oyekan and presented with a chain of office. A scroll detailing the life history of Brown and his influence on black men all over the world was presented with the Oba’s seal and hand. Brown’s schedule of 5 concerts in Nigeria took him to four cities, and even when the plane stopped at airports for fuel on the grueling trips fans waited eagerly to catch a glimpse of the singer. The Nigerian concerts were underwritten by Phillip Morris International,and Brown chose to present the very same concert that he presents throughout the United States yearly. In Lagos, Brown was presented with a Gold Record honoring him for becoming the first non-Nigerian to sell 50,000 copies of a single release. The group left Nigeria for Zambia for three more concerts. All three concerts were held at huge outdoor stadiums with audience capacities of over 20,000 each. After a day of rest, Brown was hosted by Zambian President Kaunda. President Kaunda saw fit to proclaim Brown the Head of the State of Music in Zambia, and Brown returned the honor by singing his famous. “It’s a Man’s World.” Wherever the show played, they were presented with gifts of flowers, robes, trinkets, and other tokens of appreciation and devotion. Every honor that could possibly be bestowed on a foreigner was presented to Page 4 JAMES BROWN Cont’d from page 1 a 0 Brown and his group. Nigerians haven’t received an entertainer so strongly in history. Only Louis Armstrong’s 1961 Nigeria trip came close to equaling the amazing effect Brown had on his African brothers and sisters. Brown quickly praised Nigeria and Zambia for being Black nations that stood for manhood and true blackness, not corruption and war. Brown’s concert before 25,000 at Dag Hammarskjoeld Stadium was attended by the head Minister of State in Ndola, Zambia. The immense stadium stands in Ndola and again the singer was mobbed before and after singing to the throng. Police and military had their jobs cut out for them in keeping the hysterical fans from leaping onto the stage. At many points the idol-like adulation reached such a peak that some feared for Brown’s life, had police not been able to contain the crowds. The Sunday Times of Zambia reported that all day before the evening concert in Ndola, taxies were fully booked and railway and bus stations packed as fans flocked to the city and the stadium. People came from villages as far as 200 miles from Ndola to see and hear Soul Brother No. 1. Only could an entertainer like Brown, who relates to blacks as strongly as he does in America, gain and maintain the reputation he does among African blacks. True, Brown has hysterical fans in America but nowhere in his many travels has he encountered the feeling he did in Nigeria and Zambia where he was treated not as a singer or “star” but he was honored as a man first and then a singing star. In Lagos there is a group known as the Evelyn Dance Band, led by Orlando Julius. The Official Report from Georgia's Big League Team ATLANTA (PRN) - Just ask Atlanta Braves pitching coach Harry Dorish; he’ll tell you. He wouldn’t take any other pitching staff in the National League in exchange for the one he has with the Braves. “We don’t have a Marichal or a Perry like San Francisco,” Dorish said. “We don’t have the individual stars. Our staff is made of the good, consistent starters and relievers who’ll battle you all the way.” The Braves’ staff has, of course, been doing a lot of battling recently. Since a June 28th doubleheader in the Houston Astrodome, the Braves pitching has been the best in baseball. The staff led the Braves to a record of 25 wins and just 11 losses between June 28 and August 11 and showed no signs of slowing up. “This is the way we expected the pitching to be from the very beginning,” Dorish continued. “We knew we had the good pitchers all along, but there were some things that had to be worked out that have been worked out now.” Dorish contributes the “brand new” pitching to two major factors: 1) A healthy pitching staff, and 2) Earl Williams’ catching. “I just can’t say how much it means to us to have all the pitchers back healthy,” he said. “This is the first time we’ve been in this situation since two years ago, and it really makes a difference. “We’ve made some adjustments, like putting Tom Kelley in the starting rotation and Jim Nash in the bull pen. Kelley’s been very effective as a starter, and Jim has found himself again in the bull pen. In fact, you could see how much of a help Nash can be in relief from the Mets game the other night. (Nash pitched six innings without giving up a run.) “And then, you just can’t say enough about Earl Williams. Since Luman moved him to catcher, the pitching has been much better. Earl meets with the starting pitcher before each game to go over the pitches. And when a pitcher makes a mistake, he goes out to the mound right Julius, influenced heavily by the imported James Brown records he has heard for years, had the opportunity to meet his idol and immediately took his band into Polydor’s studios in Lagos and recorded “James Brown Ride-On” in tribute to the singer’s tour. Julius promised to send Brown a copy of the record as soon as it’s available along with a photo album of his stay. The jacket of the record will carry, naturally, Julius’ picture sitting next to -- James Brown.
