Beauchamp MARION JACKSON Views Sports of The Word United Kingdom (Great Britain) televiewers were astonished at the violence of the game between Southern Cal and the University of Michigan for most Britons, whose favorite sport is soccer, it was the first time they had seen the American gridiron version!! Segregation American-style is often bewildering, but in Mississippi Negro and white coaches met four square. The white schools and the Negro schools had separate atheletic associations with separate standards and each had its established schedule and conference. The coaches partially solved the problem by combining the minority and the white athletes into a single team with a few practice sessions during the holidays. Coaches report no problems in the solution.... In Jackson, Miss., I was told that other student activity carry more sentiment and threaten to cause more emotional difficulties. Class rings and graduation already had been made for white students, but many of the Caucasians will windup graduating from a previously Negro school and many Negroes will wind up wearing class rings from a black school but attending a white school. It is in this area of school identity that Negroes also have protested the Supreme Court mandate. Some fear their class officers, club memberships and other activities will be lost in the shuffle in a merger with a predominantly white school. Negro students at Starkville staged a protest demonstration last month over desegregation plans calling for a phase out of all Negro Henderson High School over a two-year period. Yazoo City schools will have separate yearbooks. But in some areas, plans for carrying out the orders have gone smoothly. At six Meridian schools, 268 of 271 teachers accepted new assignments, and a spokesman said two of three teachers who resigned did so for personal reasons not connected with reassignment. Superintendents said the teachers were "dedicated to their profession" and would "honor" their contracts for the remainder of the year. ALCORN A&M COLLEGE approaches a tremendous crossroad and landmark in history in this segregation-troubled Magnolia State. The Alcorn A &M College Braves, coached by Marino H. Casem, will be honored Jan. 9th by THE PITTSBURGH COURIER and January 23-24 by the THE 100 PER CENT WRONG CLUB of THE ATLANTA DAILY world. The forthcoming tributes are a far cry from the past neglect of the school's athletic program. The Braves went bigtime when they defeated Florida A&M University in the '68 ORANGE BLOSSOM CLASSIC. Now Alcorn A&M College is coming to Atlanta in high style company and those country bumpkins out of Loram, Miss, will be staying at the plush Marriott Motor Hotel. AMERICAN FOOTBALL IS OFTEN bewildering to the foreigners who visit the USA. It is no less complex to British viewers who saw the ROSE BOWL by satellite: Millions of British viewers saw the 1970 Rose Bowl game via satellite from Pasadena, Calif., in which the commentator noted "Mitich-igan" and the "Trogand". The University of Southern California defeated the University of Michigan 0-3 in the New Year's classic. For most Britons, whose favorite national sport is "football" – soccer – it was the first time they had seen the American gridiron version. "It's terrifying the way they slam into each other," winced a British soccer fan as he watched the college behemoths block on a running play. In soccer, body contact is restricted to against the man with the ball. A soccerplayer can be ousted from the game for blocking somebody without the ball. "They appear to be in possession," said the British commentator over the accompanying play-by-play American commentary, souding somewhat puzzled as USC huddled after changing goals at the end of the third quarter. "That's the man-in-motion," the British commentator said as a flanker began to run. "Ah, it's a running play!" The commentator called the two teams "Mitch-igan" and "the Trogans." Following the showing of the videotape, he appeared on screen and said: "Perhaps we shall be seeing more of American football." O.J. Simpson, star halfback of the Buffalo Bills and the 1968 Heisman Trophy winner at USC, has been added to the football commentary staff to provide expert analysis on "ABC's Wide World of Sports" telecast of the 24th annual Hula Bowl from Honolulu, Hawaii, Saturday, Jan. 10, 4:30 - 7:30 p.m., EST. Simpson joins play-by-play announced Chris Schenkel and expert analyst Bud Wilkinson, former Oklahoma coach, to provide comprehensive coverage of the classic. Simpson, one of the greatest running backs in the history of college football, made his debut as a sports commentator when he provided the expert analysis on the ABC Television Network's coverage of the East-West Shrine game, Dec. 27. He has played in several allstar games and is well aware of the problems and special situations faced by players and coaches in these games.

Clark Shoots Down Ala. State, 80-68 Tony Floyd continues to be Clark College's number one scorer after pacing the Panthers to a 80-68 victory over the visiting Alabama State Hornets Monday night. Floyd, a sophomore from Chicago, Ill. posted 28 points in the scorebook and improved his shooting percentage from the floor. He was also the top scorer in the game. During the Christmas vacation the Panthers participated in the Annual Chicago Ho liday Tournament where Floyd was voted the Most Valuable Player, the second time this season. He received the same award in the Georgia Invitational played last December. The Panthers had little trouble in defeating the Hornets, getting an early lead and holding on to several slim margins. At halftime the score was 39-36, after the first ten minutes of play, Clark led by 19-17. Hurley Harris followed Floyd in scoring with 23 points and was outstanding on the backboard, offensively and defensively. Norris Clemmons, who had a great light in the corner added 19 points to the scoreboard for Clark. Tony Northing led the losers with 20 points, followed closely by Danny Crenshaw with 15 and James Thomas 11. Alabama State is now 6-5 thus far this season.

HALFTIME:39-36, Clark Athletes Can Out-Do The Sociologist The professional athlete can do more for delinquent children than sociologists or psychologists, according to John Baker. And Baker packs more than a 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame behind his philosophy. The 12-year veteran of the National Football League who retired this year spent each off season working with youthful prison inmates and school dropouts—taking to them, "man to man." "I've always said that pro athletes can do more than sociologists and psychologists to help these boys," Baker said. "As a pro athlete I could go in to inmates and talk sports and get to them. "They know these guys got a theory, but the only reason they listened was because they had to," Baker said. Baker, 34, retired in September after the Detroit Lions put him on waivers. The defensive end who had started every exhibition game for the Lions this year admitted he was surprised with the action, but takes satisfaction that he passed by two his goal of 10 years in the NFL. He played four years with the Los Angeles Rams and seven years with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he was an all-pro defensive lineman. He had a half-year stint with Philadelphia and was just beginning with Detroit when the Lions put him in limbo. North Carolina's Department of Conservation and Developnent snatched Baker up and switched him to offense in their commerce and, industry department. He travels in the state to encourage industrial expansion and outside to attract new firms. Baker, who admits to weekend depression watching football games on television, says he's "Going through a learning period here" in his position as industry development representative. Football and his work with youth excite him, though. Leaning back in his chair and holding a pencil against the bridge of his nose, Baker said. "I always make a comparison between football and real life. Football and the game of life are about the same. There are rules and regulation. That's the some thing I would tell the inmates and the school dropouts." During his first eight seasons he spent the offtime working with the North Carolina prison department. "The most frustrating thing was to see so many young kids —13, 14 and 15-year-olds come in. This really got to me. I said this is not the kids' problem. maybe I should get out to the streets. It's almost too late when they get to prison." Vikings, Chiefs Meet In Annual Super Bowl It will be the Minnesota Vikings against the Kansas City Chiefs in pro football's Super Bowl next Sunday in New Orleans. The Vikings smashed the Cleveland Browns 27-7 Sunday at Minneapolis-Sat. Paul and the underdog Chief's upset the Oakland Raiders, 177, at Oakland. The Vikings winning their first National Football League crown, raced to a 24-0 halftime lead and added a field goal in the third, period. The Browns got on the scoreboard only in the fourth period in a game played in eight-degree weather. Kansas City, in capturing the American Football League title, trailed favored Oakland 7-0 after one period, managed a 7-7 tie at halftime, then went on to victory. The 1969 Super Bowl was won by the New York Jets, 16-7, over the NFL champion Baltimore Colts. The deep freeze weather plagued the Brawns at the outset, when in the span of minutes two Cleveland defenders slipped on the icy surfaces, permitting the Vikings' Gene Washington to grab two passes from quarterback Joe Kapp. The first catch set up a seven-yard touchdown play by Kapp and the second resulted in a 75-yard scoring play. Fred Cox kicked a field goal in the second period and Dave Osborn then tallied on a 20yard to make it 24-0 at halftime. Cox added his second field goal in the third period. A Bill Nelsen to Gary Col lins pass produced Cleveland's only touchdown. For Kansas City the comefrom-behind victory resulted from a punishing rush put on the Oakland, quarterback, Daryle Lamonica who was intercepted three times in the second half. The Kansas City defense also forced two vital fumbles that wrecked Oakland drives. Chief quarterback Len Dawson bad the satisfaction of engineering the win over the Raiders, who had whipped Kansas City twice in regular season play. It will be the second appearance for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. They lost to Green Bay in the inaugural AFL— NFL title match in 1987. PROBLEMS IN SEX? No Pep at Night. No vim or Vigor.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR—By Alan Maver JANUARY Published by King Features Syndicate Knicks' Reed Top Pro For Nov. Willis Reed, captain and star center of the New York Knickerbockers, was ing for the S. Rae Hickok named the pro athlete for "Professional Athlete of the the month of November in balloting leading to the votYear" award. Reed, Phil Esposito of the Boston Bruins, and Tom Seaver of the New York Mets, each has been selected the monthly winner twice. Other monthly winners were Jerry West, Mario Andretti, Reggie Jackson, Willie Davis and Donn Clendenon. NY's Clay Ban Upheld A Federal Court judge has upheld the right of the New York State Athletic Commission to suspend the license of Cassius Clay to fight in the state. Clay, former heavyweight champion had applied for reinstatement four months ago. He charged that his Constitutional rights were violated when the commission lifted his license after his conviction for refusing to submit to the draft. These and many other deep seated political, social, racial prejudices surfaced immediately after Fred C. Davison, president of the University of Georgia asked the regents to name Rusk to the post. President Davison, members of the board of regents, Roy Harris, notwithstanding, refrained from becoming en, gaged in a lot of public Statement concerning the appointment before the board of regents approved the appointment. It must be said that the situation was handled very intelligently. Back in the minds of a lot of Georgians was the fact that Dean Rusk's daughter married a Negro man. It was the first white woman who married a Negro man and I dare say she will not be the last one. As a matter of fact I predict that there will be a great increase of such marriages in the near future. For Dean Rusk's daughter to be denied the privilege of marrying the man she loved– as well as another person— man or woman, black or white would be tantamount of taking democracy away from them. Dean Rusk, no doubt, demonstrated to disbelievers of the American brand of democracy that he did not talk about one kind of democracy abroad and practiced another kind in native country, in his home. Enough has been said about the marriage. Let that young couple live their own lives as they see fit. Southerners have the opportunity to give leadership to his nation, like no other section is prepared socially to do. Southerners could demonstrate to the world that the racial gap can be closed tighter than Pandora's box forever. White Southerners are more closely connected and person1.ally acquainted with the social economical and educational conditions of southern Negroes than are whites in any other section of this nation.— That is among the reasons they should show the moral courage to turn the democratic ideal into an everyday prac tice. But this means they can amend for the great sins of in hymanity, brutality and unreligious treatment they subjected Negroes to for several centuries. I urged white southerners to devote more time to being just plain humane and less time to the continustion of racial prejudice and stop dreaming of a return of the Ante Bellum days. When this is done they will be able to readily see how fortunate the University of Georgia is to be able to obtain a man of Dean Rusk's caliber. The university if fortunate indeed. —(1-2 70). Know THE Weather Is hail usually seen in winter? In spite of the fact that hail is frozen rain droplets and that winter is the coldest of the four seasons, more hall is seen in the warmer months than in the winter months. The why of this seemingly illogical occurrence is simple. In summer we get our boiling thunderheads with their strong updrafts. The long drizzling spells of winter, lasting several days, usually are caused by stratus clouds. It is the updraft which sends water droplets soaring upward to be frozen at higher altitudes that makes bail. This vertical
