Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1969-02-01 J. A. Beauchamp BY SAM BROWN LeMoyne - Owen, now a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference will leave the SIAC next season and join the Christian Brother College as a member of the Volunteer State Athletic Conference. There are many reasons behind the move into the YSAC, chiefly the enormous." expense and the many miles of travel required in meeting the other members. Many of the members of the VSAC are looking forward with pleasure to the entry of the Magiclasn into the conference. Several have expressed themselves as being glad that LeMoyne Owen will join the conference, and feel that the calibre of play of the Magicians is on a par with the members of the conference. It is reported the Magicians have been extended an invitation to partici pate in the forthcofing playoff tournament. Others, who have done a tremendous job for Coach Jerry Johnson are Jackie Robinson, former Hamilton High star at forward; William Meggett good little playmaker and leading scorer at guard; and Heb Carter another guard, who plays a good defensive game, round out the usual starting five. As in other sports that require team play, no team is any better than its reserves, so the Magicians reserves or bench can fill in with a superb performance. Among these are LeRoy Leflore at forward, Sam Bachelor, the Cincinnati flash, a forward; T. W. Hayelett, a former Manassas High Sttr, Willie Parks a Woodstock standout at guard, little Jerry Dover, thefans favorite at guard, and Larry Crawford, guard. Fans Along The Trail rejoiced when they learned that the former great baseball catcher of the former Brooklyn Dodgers, Roy Campanella was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame, along with the former St. Louis cardinals star Stan Musial. It is an honor long deserved for Campanella, as the former great receiver rates along with the best the Great National Pastime has produced at this position Three time. Campy was named the Most Valuable Player in the league, and his slugging, handling of pitchers and all - round performance on the diamond bespoke ggreatness personafied. It was a crule fate that his baseball career was cut down at its height. Laurel wreath to a great baseball performer! Rick Roberson is a standout for Cincinnati. He was a star at Mitchell Road High during his prep days. Bobby Smith is one of the top performers with Tulsa, now leading the Missouri Conference. Richard Jones has done a great job, but seemingly for a losing cause with the Memphis State Tigegrs. He was one or Lester High altime greats. Gene Johnson of Booker T. Washington is a standout with Wisconsin of Big Ten. MARION JACKSON Views Sports Of The World Doctor Edward L. Jackson is now retiring president of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. He will be succeeded at the new term of the SIAC by C. Johnson Dunn, athletic director at Alabama state College. Athletic Director Frazier of Savannah State College was notified in a letter by Dr. Jackson that the SIAC had unanimously voted the Tigers into the IAC and a warm; welcome of membership was extended. "It was an exteremly cordial exchange between Dr. Jackson and Savannah State College officials and it sent elation and confidence soaring on the campus of the school. The admission of Savannah State is in pattern of the projected admission of Mississippi Valley College, Itta Bena, into the Southwestern Athletic Conference next spring." This will be a major realignment for the SWAC in admitting a monied state supported power into its already predominantly Land Grant circle. WILEY COLLEGE IS RUMORED on the way out at the SWAC. Bishop College is the lone football survivor of the almost defunct Gulf Coast Athletic Conference.

Du Pant Company Grants $2.3 Million To Schools Grants totaling more than $2.3 million have been awarded to 155 colleges and universities in the Du Pont Company's annual program of aid to education, the company announced recently. They represent a substantial increase over last year's 50th anniversary program of $2.1 million to 145 schools. Du Pont this year discontinued capital grants for buildings and equipment, using these and additional funds for increases in nearly all other grant categories. The move strengthens vital areas of the program — especially those relating to graduate education and makes ii more responsive to the needs, of university research, recently curtailed by sharp reducetion in Federal support. Most of the increase was allocated to major universities with high-quality science and engineering departments where, it is belleved, graduate programs are being seriously affected by Federal grant restrictions. Young faculty grants, for example, introduced in 1988, were increased from seven grants of $15000 each, to grants of $20,000 to each of 12 chemistry and engineering departments in major universities. Awarded to faculty members who have received their Ph.D degree within the past five years the grants reflect the need for funds. to start young faculty members on their carets in teaching and research. Recipients, selected by the universities, are encouraged to work in fields of high originality. Grants totaling $1,227,500. representing a substantial increase over 1968, were made to departments of biochemistry, chemistry engineering, and physics. They are to help colleges and universities fill needs and engage in departmental activities which are beyond ordinary include resources.
