News-Review - September 30, 1971 : THE is i NEWS-REVIEW i | sports Ol Freeman W ; [ 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. Page 4 current. 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 LOOK!

VMl’s Hopes Bright Withßowinan By Bill Millsaps Lexington, Virginia - Times-Dispatch Sports Writer Somebody turned the switch on Mac Bowman, and it’s the opposition that’s feeling the red blood cells.

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 . W l / Grady's w X.

GRADY EVANS, Mgr. FRANK EVANS, Asst. Mgr. 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. BNeed Something?
