Beauchamp MARION JACKSON Views Sports of The World Harry Bennefield is the second Edward Waters College alumnus to hold the head football coaching job at Texas Southern University. He suceeds another alumnus of the Jacksonville, Fla. institution, Clifton Paul, who was fired early this summer. The new mentor formerly served under Paulas defensive secondary tutor. In the short history of TSU there has been three previous coaches, the most notable Alexander Durley, now Athletic Director and Head Coach at Prairie View A&M College. Now, it is quite a tradition of South western Conference institutions to select nonalumni coaches. I call to mind that W. J. (Billy) Nicks while at Prairie View A&M was an alumnus of Morris Brown College. Eddie Robinson, the coach with the most seniority in the circuit is from Leland College. In point-of-service Robinson has passed the quarter of century mark. He is one of the winningest coaches in active service in the SWAC. Alva Tabor, topkick at Southern University, is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and has coached at Fort Valley State, Port Arthur Texas high school, Wiley College, Southern University as an assistant, and worked with the New Orleans Saints as a scout and quarterback coach, before taking on his present assignment with the Jaquar Cats.

Here again at Bishop College, the non - alumni coach tradition was alive, Dwight H. Fisher, who begins his 27th season at the Dallas school came there via Alabama A & M College and Alcorn A & M College.

With Arkansas AM&N and Wiley College now seven remaining members in the SWAC and the league is more intersectional-minded than ever before in its glorious and fantastic winning history. IT IS THIS SITUATION that Harry Bennefield now becomes an integral part. The SWAC is devoid of compassion, sympathy and sentiment when it comes to sports, and don't single out any branch of athletics for this obsession. It is truth that basketball, baseball, track and field and tennis, are played for keeps in the SWAC.

Savannah State's John Myles Predicting Winning Season Coach John Myles, entering into his second full season as head football coach at Savannah State, is predicting a winning season even though the Tigers will entertain such powerhouses as Alcorn A & M and Bethune-Cookman. In a recent interview, the former Chicago Defender Little All-American player when playing at Savannah State remarked that a successful season will depend mainly upon the number of returning veterans. Lorenzo Bennett, ace offensive end on last season wil be missed as he will be playing for Knoxville College. Coach Myles is hoping tha all veterans will reburn and that the recruits will have so much talent as to blend with the veterans in forming a strong club. Recruiting for the best, these are some of the rookies that he and his coaching staff are high on; Neil Better of Tifton, Harry Killins, Larry Rude, and Alvin Myles all of Waycross and tackles, tackle willie Jones of Columbus, Walter Gregory, quarterback from Tattnall County, Lewis Tooks of Beach High, and Cabon Brown of Jacksonville, Florida. For the first time, two white players from South Carolina will be attempting to make the team. They are twin Raymond Mathews, a quarterback, and his double Edward, an offensive end. With Chester Ellis being the only experienced quarterback returning, Myles recruited four other passers. He has high hopes for one in particular, Doc Holt of Columbus, heralded as a great passer and runner as well. Concerning running back Dennis Jones who rushed for 476 yards last season, Myles believes that he will have a better season this year because he has gained more experience at the fullbacking spot. The workhorse of last season, he is expected to take the load against his season. The returning veterans that he will be depending on are; offensively, tight end Terry Leggett, 215 lbs., Joe Harris, 245 lb. tackle, Calvin Lawrence, 220 lb. guard, Marvin Edwards, a real studhorse at center, Richard Bellamy at tackle, Charlie Frazier and Charles Kelly, wide receivers. On defense, 210 pound Rodney Daise and 200 lb. Max Parker at corner linebacker 250 pound James Dupree and 225 lb. Joe Gibbs at defensive end, Andrea Alston, 210 lbs. and Leonard Garrett, 220 lbs. at tackle positions, Charlie Smith, James (230) lb. Pugh, Larry Green, 230 lbs., all middle linebackers, Frankiel Harper, 195 lbs., Bill Harris 195 lbs., and Carlton Moffett, 175 pounds, all defensive backs. Bolstering the defense will be Everett Kemp, Ishmael Simmons, and Billy Reynolds. Commenting on the schedules, Myles says that the toughest opposition will come from Alcorn A&M. Alcorn on last season had the stingiest defense in the small college rankings. Myles puts them in the same category as Grambling, a well known team, and powerful Morgan State. He adds however that Alcorn has to be considered the best because they have beaten both of thee of these teams in the last two years. They can do it all. Other powers on the schedule are Bethune-Cookman, who the Tigers beat last season, Alabama A & M, South Carolina State, and Fort Valley State. An addition to the coaching staff was made in the person of Willie Pippins, an alumnus of Alabama A & M, who is replacing line coach James Carter. The remaining staff is composed of John Mason and Frank Ellis. Spring practice begins on September the fist. Carroll, Spencer Cut By Chargers (UPI) — The San Diego Chargers cut their rookie squad to 50 by placing four players on waivers in their second day of training at the University of California. Linebackers Artis Carroll and Lee Von Spencer, tackle Kick Hackley and running back Rick Dissenger were trimmed from the squad. Carroll was a free agent from Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., while Spencer came from Prairie View A. And M. Hackley played at New Mexico State University and Dissenger was from the University of Redlands, California. Steelers Release Bulldogs' Kegler (UPI)— Clarence Kegler, a 6-4, 260pound rookie tackle from South Carolina State, has been released by the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. The Steelers also placed veteran defensive back Jim Shorter on waivers. Sports Parade UPI-Some people are beginning to wonder if the Mets can do it again. What's more significant is the fact some of the Mets are beginning to wonder themselves. Right now, they can see only one man performing the same way, if not better, than he did last year, showing th same verve, the same allout desire and the same absolute refusal to settle for second best. The one man they can see doing all this is Tommie Agee. Tommie Agee has played in 121 games so far and in one sense at least he's like all the other 600 major leaguers. He's tired. Where he's tired. Where he's different than so many of the others, though, is that he keeps going out there and busting a gut whether he's tired or not. "If you go around saying you're tired, then you're going to feel tired," Tommie Agee says. "Physically, I am tired, then you're going to feel tired. You have to be when you run a lot out in center field and steal a lotta bases. What I try to do, though, is keep myself up mentally. I don't let myself get down in the dumps. You just can't. Like if the bat feels heavy and I'm not feeling strong, I don't swing too bard. I just try to meet the ball, that's all. I haven't hit a home run now in more than a month. If I never hit another one, It's OK with me." Tommie Agee said all this before Sunday's doubleheader with Cincinnati, for which he showed up with a puffed-up left knee injured the previous day. Agee then went outmerely meeting the ball like he said - and sent Gary Nolan's first pitch into the right field bullpen at Shea Stadium for his first home run since July 11. It was his 20th homer of the season. He tacked on his 21st. two singles, a walk and a fantastic catch through a foot-and-a-half of water left by heavy rainstorm which delayed the opener two hours and 15 minutes. Maybe Tommie gets tired sometimes, but he doesn't let that get him down in the dumps. Besides, he'll show you others who don't ever seem to get tired either. "Look at Roberto Clemente," he says. "he nev er looks like he's tired. He always busts his neck out there. He's one of the best ballplayers I've ever seen." Tommie Agee isn't so bad either. Sports Briefs WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Randy Johnson, Atlanta quarterback – "People stop me and ask about the beatings I've taken. They ask about Deacon Jones and all the big defensive lineman, To tell the truth, you are so busy in a game that you are not aware of any beating or battering. You have too much to do. If Jones or anyone else gives me a bad time, I never know it until Monday. You never hurt on Sunday.".... DAN REEVES, Dallas playercoach – "You think you are pretty smart after a fewyears in the league as a player. But you get into the coaching end and you realize how much work is involved in learning the game. Coaches do most of the work, get little credit, and are like the quarterback - they get all the blame." CLARIFICATION: Player who is waived injured must be inactive and a player waived normally is that the player waived injured, if he clears waivers, remains under, contract to the waiving club and receives salary, medical and life insurance benefits pension credit.

Comment On Sports The lateseason baseball news is that Oakland is at last making the expected run for the American League western division title Athletics had been expected to make all year. Minnesota's sudden losing ways, or course, increased the incentive for the A's. Thus the western division race now could go to either Minnesota, Oakland or surprising California. The eastern division in that league still seems a closed production; the Orioles look too strong, as usual in recent years. The good race in the National is in the eastern division and Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York are still in it. But the Pirates admittedly have shown more stamina and spirit than the Cubs or Mets thus far. Cincinnati, like Baltimore, has it wrapped up in the senior loop's western division barring an unexpected collapse. But the Dodgers of Walter Alston have been tough this season and had it not been for the Red's sensational surge, would be in the middle of a pennant race about now. Likewise, the New York Yankees. They are the most improved club in the American's eastern division. If the Yankees improve further next season, they'll definitely be pennant contenders, might well be the team to displace Baltimore.

Replaces "Tank" Conrad Cleo Wallace Head Grid Coach At Winston-Salem Cleo "Tiny" Wallace was named head coach of the Winston-Salem State Rams last week. "Tiney", a former Ram who joined the coaching staff in 1966, took over from ailing Thomas R. "Tank" Conrad who had served as the Ram mentor since 1949. Wallace, who coached scholastic teams which won four district and three state championships, predicts that the Rams will better their 2-7 record of last season. He is busy perfecting his plans for the coming season. "We have been working to fill the slots vacated by Allen McManus, wide receiver, who will be with the Miami Dolphins and tackle Calvin Stith who joined the Dallas Cowboys." "Tiny" said, "but the loss of Ben Wade and promising quarter back Carson Hankins is another quesion." Coach Wallace has a nucleus of 25 returning veterans around which he will develop his current team. The field general for the Rams will be Foster Epps, a 170 pound senior from Washington, D.C. Backup man for Epps will be another D.C. lad, Charles Artis who was named "All Metro" during the past season. Both are excellent passers and should keep the Winston-Salem Aerial circusmoving. Other returning veterans are lineman Nathaniel, Robert Blue, Reynold Duncan, Michael Greene, Jimmy Harvey, Franklin "Fat Cat" Jackson, Kenneth Parker and Michael Turner. Other returning backs are William Finney, Harry Harris, tTerry McNeil, Henry Melton and Ronnie pPhillips. Promising freshmen are Melvin Eskew, 6-0, 240 pound Guard from Gastonia, Ernest Reed, 6-5, 220 pound and from D.C. and William Dison, 6-1 187 pound speed demon from Charlotte. After considering his prospects, Coach Wallace said "Barring injuries, we will field a representative team during the 1970 season".
