McASHAN GIVEN THE BLAME
It seems as if every time the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech
lose, Eddie McAshan, the black quarterback is hit with the blame
by everybody but Bird Carson. We wonder if too many Tech
supporters have expected too much from the young Jacket star
just because he is the first black to perfomblack to perform for
them, especially at the quarterback post. True enough he is very
important in the offense of the Jackets, but he is not all of the
offense.
Let’s .face it; Tech hasn’t got the offense nor the defense that
they had last year. Personnel has graduated from both, and
McAshan cannot perform miracles.
No dotyot the recent statement in the news media attributed to
McAshan have been blown all out of proportion. This is not going
to help him mentally to do the job he is capable of doing. And if
they expect to win more games this season, McAshan has got to
be in there directing the attack, for right now he is the best that
they have.
JOSEY TESTS WESTSIDE THIS WEEK
Hank Dagget’s Josey Eagles will seek their first 1971 victory
this week at the expense of the Westside Patriots. They have
suffered losses at the hands of Statesboro and Glenn Hills and
would like very much to make the Patriots their first victim.
After making such a terrible showing against Glenn Hills last
week, the Eagles have had some long practice sessions as the
coaches seek to correct the mistakes that were made against the
GH Spartans.
MUSKETEERS AND WILDCATS IN THE BIG ONE
Friday night the ARC Musketeers and the Lucy Laney Wildcats
go at each other in the first of two 1971 meetings. The game is
expected to be played before a capacity crowd as both teams
have proved to be strong contenders for the Region 4AAA title.
Laney is undefeated in three outings, while ARC has suffered a
loss at the hands of the Yellow Jackets of North Augusta.
Both teams are big and fast, possessing stout defensive units.
Their offenses, though, should not be overlooked, with Cris
Edenfield running for ARC and Richard Lynn and a host of scat
backs running for Laney. Their running attacks coupled with
some timely passing by the respective quarterbacks should
present an interesting evening of offensive maneuvers at either
end of the field Friday night.
EAGLES SINK
Josey’s Eagles put on a show last Friday night against the
Spartans of Glenn Hills High. The show, as many of you know by
now, was not of excellently played football, but of almost every
imaginable mistake that could be made in the course of 48
minutes of play. The Eagles just didn’t have it all together for the
Spartans.
After trailing by only 7-0 at the end of the first half, the Josey
team seemingly came apart at the “seams”. The backs couldn’t
stop fumbling the ball, the intended receivers couldn’t catch the
ball, and the defense had trouble stopping the running plays up
the middle late in the game. All of this was a part of the Eagles’
first 1971 performance before hometown folk.
S3OO Gift To
Paine From •
Piggly Wiggly
Two local representatives of
the Piggly Wiggly food chain
visited Paine College today to
present a $300.00 contribution
to the College.
President L. H. Pitts, who
received the check, indicated
that it will be used for a
scholarship to assist a needy
student. “We have many
students who are in dire need
of financial assistance, even
though these students are
employed through our
Work-Study Program, their
earnings are limited due to
restrictions on working hours
dependent upon the student’s
course-load.
Dr. Pitts also indicated that
a gift of this type makes it so
much easier for him and our
development staff to solicit
funds from other parts of the
country. “Companies,
corporations and foundations
in New York, Chicago and
other cities ask us about
contributions from our state
and local businesses and
foundations,” Dr. Pitts added.
“We’re proud to be able to
rattle-off a list of Augusta local
firms and affiliates of national
organizations that support the
Paine College effort.” he
concluded.
Billy Melton, Manager of the
Wrightsboro Road Store and
Milton Logan, Manager,
Martinez Store delivered the
check.
There are 44 Piggly Wiggly
food stores in Georgia and such
community service gifts are
awarded to other colleges in
the state.

Sickle Cell Anemia
It is heartening to note that
the conquest of sickle cell
anemia —a dread blood disease
that poses a constant threat to
some 50,000 black Americans
is finally beginning to receive
the concerted attention that it
warrants.
This week it was announced
that 10 institutions, among
them Emory University
Medical School, have been
awarded federal contracts to
conduct research aimed at
treating the grim malady.
The Emory grant will
finance the study of three
promising forms of treatment
of patients at Grady Memorial
Hospital.
Nor is the federal
government the only one now
providing funds nationally to
aid victims of the heriditary
disorder characterized by an
abnormality of hemoglobin,
the oxygen-carrying protein of

Somebody turned the switch
on Mac Bowman, and it’s the
opposition that’s feeling the
red blood cells.
A group of top black
athletes headed by Willie
Stargell is also involved.
Ir is a long-needed
development and we are glad
to see it finally come about.

VMl's Mac Bowman
“I think the light has come
on inside Mac’s head,” said
Virginia Military Institute
football coach Bob Thalman.
“He understands now that he
can be a great running back,
and he started proving it
Saturday.”
Guinea pig in Bowman’s
proving process was Davidson,
which lost to the Keydets,
27-3, Saturday in Lexington.
Against the Wildcats, Bowman
rushed 31 times for 174 yards
and scored touchdowns on
runs of 76 and 9 yards.
For that performance, he is

this week’s winner of The
Times-Dispatch Offensive
Player of the Week award and
also Southern Conference’s
honor.
Thalman, who made his VMI
coaching debut against
Davidson, said Bowman is
“Getting that feel of setting up
blockers. He’s becoming a very
smart runner, and when you
combine that with his physical
ability, you really have
something.”
The VMI coach said the
5-11, 190-pounder from
Thomson, Ga. is “one of the
strongest and fastest boys on
our football team. He’s quick
enough to break the big play as
he showed against Davidson.
And he’s strong enough to
really punish a tackler. He can
sting you.
“The greatest thing about
Mac is that when he takes the
football, he’s constantly
thinking about putting it in the
end zone, no matter where we
are in the field. He’s always
thinking touchdown. That’s
the mark of a great runner.”
Bowman, who did not score
a touchdown in 1970 but
became the Keydets’ leading
rusher (360 yards), is junior.
An English major, he is the son
of an Army master sergeant.
