TODAY'S GAME/by Roosevelt Wilson

Duel Under The Sun

The Rattlers have made the big turn and are on the road back

Last week's 27-0 victory overAlabama State was significantin more ways than one for theRattlers. It marked the end ofa two-game losing skid and alsoshowed the hometown fans thatthe Rattlers indeed were not asbad as their previous winlessrecord had indicated.

Coach Jim Williams' Snakeshave made the turn now and areon the way back. They disdainedcrippling injuries to key person-nel and an opening two-game setthat itself was just as cripplingand fought their way back intothe victory circle.

Today's game against the tra-ditionally tough Wolverines ofMorris Brown should be anotherthriller. Morris Brown stores itsenergy until the Wolverinesmeet the Rattlers and then theyattack wih all he sound and furythey can muster.

The Rattlers always have hadmammoth struggles with theWolverines, especially under thehomecoming sun, and today'scontest probably will be no ex-ception.

Morris Brown, always potenton offense, will contest one ofFlorida A&M's finest defensiveunits in nearly five years. The"Green Monsters" shut out Ala-bama State and held the high-scoring Hornets to just 111yards total offense

Meanwhile, the Rattler of-fense, which finally got un-tracked against the Hornets andnetted 279 yards, will test astout Wolverine defense.

It should be a good one, andto use an old cliche: Sit backrelax and enjoy the show.

So beauty is only skin deep? A closer

look at this beauty will change your mind

By Robert L. Allen

Santa Helena DeCosta re-members everybody she meets.And people who meet Santashouldn't have any trouble re-membering her. She's pretty,smart, personable, candid andshe's Miss FAMU.

The looks grab you first. Theimmaculately coiffed afro, thebrown eyes and bold attractivefeatures, all. But, you can'tdwell on that because she won'tlet you. She insists that you seefarther than her pretty tawnyface.

The 20-year old Jacksonvillenative reluctantly acknowledgesthat she looks the part of aqueen. But, she is too smart tothink that 50 percent of herschoolmates who voted electedher to represent Florida A&MUniversity simply because ofher looks.

"The three girls who ranagainst me look good, too," sheexplained with knowing eyes.She was right. There had to bemore.

The most important attributeof a person running for MissFAMU is personality, she said-an intangible that began to takeform as she smiled and con-tinued.

"Lots of students wonder howI remember all the people I meet(gesturing as she talked). I ask,'What's your name?' Getting toknow people is at the top of mylist of musts for making friends.I work at it," she emphasized.

"Another thing is i listen towhat they say and ask theiropinions."

Lest one gets to believing thatSanta depends on others opinionsand direction, she reminds oneof her her own triumvirate ofof verities-excellence, achieve-ment and equality.

There is nothing fragile orretiring in the queen's manner.She aspires to no less than theapex of anything she pursues,a worthy objective of anybody,commoner or royalty. This comesthrough clearly when she talksof her reign and her future.

"I enjoy being Miss FAMU.Now, I look forward to the lime-light of Homecoming."

She was referring to the se-ries of events surrounding theFAMU-Morris Brown tilt at2 p.m. on October 13. She willreign before some 15,000 loyolsubject on that weekend. It allstarted with her coronation onThursday night, October 11.

Admitting that she luxuriatesin the attention and exultaion ofHomecoming, Santa said, "I takemy victory and my reign as avote of confidence in me bypeople I respect. Therefore,,"she said unblinkingly, "I trulythink I deserve what's happen-ing to me."

A fourth y e a r pharmacymajor, Santa thinks Miss FAMUshould represent the "epitomeof womanhood" for the Uni-versity. She sees her duty ashostess for the University nomatter where she goes or whomshe meets-a 24-hour-a-day job-always a microcosm of theFAMU virtues of excellence,achievement and equality.

Momentarily, she reflected onher early days at FAMU. Thosewere the days, she said, when"certain people" were trying tomerge or phase out the Uni-versity.

"As one of my professois isprone to say, 'I eat, sleep, drinkand talk' FAMU. I wanted toremain independent, so I wentout 'full blast' to preserve it-along with a lot of other stu-dents.

"The Save FAMU bumpersticker campaign, I was involvedin that."

She summed up her feelingsthis way, "I have always, andwill always cherish FAMU, justas I do Raines (a high school inJacksonville), these two schoolsI really love."

Santa recalled that back inJacksonville when she was justa little girl, her mother, Mrs.Grace D. Gray, instilled in herthe determination to do well inanything she was involved.

"I guess that is why I wantto be dynamic in anything I do,"she inserted.

The drive for excellence andachievement started back thenand followed her through Raineswhere she was dubbed the"cutest senior" and later gradu-ated 48th in a class of 549.

Santa volunteered that eversince enrolling at FAMU, shehas held in high respect the po-sition of Miss FAMU. Even as afreshman, she knew she wantedto win the title. As she observedGloria Boatwright, Judy Henryand Deborah Richardson, formerMiss FAMUs, she felt the needto seek the title, never doubtingher qualifications.

Concerned with women's lib-eration only as it applies to equalpay for equal work, Santa plansto be a practicing pharmacistand an entreprenuer. She saidunequivocably, "If I want toachieve, I've got to excel. Thatapplies to me as a pharmicistand as a woman. If I were in anyother profession and a man, itwoud apply equally as well."

Her plans are well laid. "FirstI am going to be a retail phar-macist, then later I will go intogovernment. Finally, I want toown two pharmacies, completelystaffed."

If her history keeps repeatingitself, she will make it. Hersuccess at FAMU has been note-worthy.

Not the least of her accom-plishments, in her opinion, isher softball exploits. She playsa mean shortstop, and with thebat has a knack for comingthrough in the clutch. The queenhas no hesitancy about soilingher image in a hard slide intohome plate if that is what ittakes to win a game.

In other activities, she is amember of the Student Ameri-can Pharmaceutical Association,and the Kappa Epsilon Phar-macy for Women. She was MissSophomore Attendant in 1971-72and Miss Alpha Phi Alpha,1972-73.

In the fall of 1972, studentsbegan to approach Santa withthe question, "Why don't yourun for Miss FAMU?" Santaremembers the question and thestudents. Now, a year later,itsunlikely that any of those stu-dents have forgotten Santa.

WIDEOUTBigger men came from all directions trying to take his job but in the endthey all wound up playing second fiddle to the littlest Rattler

by ROOSEVELT WILSON

Most stars are easy to identifybecause they stand head-and-shouldersabove the crowd. Leroy Powell doesn'texactly s t a n d head-and-shouldersabove anybody at 5-10 and 135 poundsbut he plays a mean game of foot-ball.

Powell is starting at safety forthe Rattlers for the third consecu-tive year and that's no easy trick incollege football, what with the ex-perts saying the players are gettingbigger and better every year.

This man, though, is no ordinaryJoe. Football, like life, is' a seriousbusiness and a challenge, and he meetsevery challenge head-on.

It all started innocently enough.Leroy began playing organized sportsearly and has been active in athleticsmost of his 22 years. But after highschool there isn't much future infootball for a kid who would appearto have trouble holding his own

on Powell and signed him as a wideFlorida A&M, though took a chance

against a strong wind.receiver.

Now picture this.In 1969 the smallest man on the

Rattler roster was Al Sykes (Powell'sbrother-in-law, incidentally) at 170pounds. Sykes, though, was over sixfeet tall (6-3).

In walks this freshman who atthat time hadn't finished growing sohe was somewhat shorter than 5-10and somewhat lighter than 135. Buthe has the nerve to walk onto thefield among the likes of Gerald White(6-5, 265) and Hollie Jones (6-2, 300).

Anybody who knows anythingabout football players can imaginethe reception Leroy Powell got thatday.

Of course, one of the first questionsthey asked was what position Powell

school terminology, "Wideout."

"'" hat really broke them up.Ninety percent of all football

players are nicknamed by their team-mates. It doesn't take much imagina-tion to guess what Powell's nick-name became. Right. Wid t.

As a wideout, though, things lookedawfully bleak for Wideout. He wasplaying behind the likes of MelvinJones, Kent Schoolfield and Sykes, allof whom were subsequently draftedby the pros.

But Wideout was determined toplay football. He was impressive inthe conditioning drills. He was al-ways first in the mile and two-mileruns and he was always first in hisheat when the team ran the 30-30s(30 short dashes of 30 yards each).He never seemed to get tired.

Still, 1969 and 1970 passed and stillno action. Powell had yet to earnvarsity status.

In 1971 the Rattlers suffered severegraduation losses from the defensivebackfield of 1970 and even the non-passing teams were passing with

Wideout eyes the offensive action in-tently and rises for the kickoff after aRattler score.

great success against the FAMU

secondary.The opportunistic Wideout saw his

chance, became a defensive back andfound a home.

He plays the single safety in the

Rattlers' bhasic defense of three defensive backs. On sure passing situa-tions when a fourth back is moved in,Powell becomes the free safety,always playing on the side of the.

split end.For three years now bigger men

have come along to try to take hisjob but Powell has started every gamesince 1971.

Wideout sat down recently and re-flected on his football career, his am-bitions, and life in general, and herevealed a lot about the man LeroyPowell.

He is an unusually serious manwith an acute perspective on wherehe's been, where he is and wher he'sgoing.

Football is no obsession with himbut it is a challenge and he is ob-sessed with meeting the challengeshead first. "I love competition," hesaid. "I've been in organized sports

Daring the passer to put the ball inthe air, Wideout stalks his man, thendemonstrates what will happen if theball does come his way.

all my life and I love anything that'schallenging. I even like to play cards.I'll meet any kind of competition."

Question: Do you ever have secondthoughts about playing football whena big tight end or fullback breaksthrough and you're the only one leftbetween him and the end zone andyou alone must stop him?

Answer: Maybe I would havesecond thoughts if I had time tothink about what I was doing, butthe only thing on my mind at a timelike that is stopping the man. I don'tcare who he is or what size he is; I

have to stop him.Question: Think for a moment.

When you consider the object of thegame and all the trouble and painnecessary, does the game of footballreally make any sense?

Answer: Well, the game itself isa challenge and it has taught me alot. Success isn't easy anywhere andI have learned from football that it'sgoing to take a lot of hard work andsacrificing to make it anywhere.

Question: What's your major?Answer: Accounting.Question: Going to be an accoun-

tant?Answer: I'm not sure. I've been

thinking seriously about going intolaw. I .might be a lawyer.

Question: What one event in your

life probably changed your personalcourse of history?

Answer: It would have to be inter-

gration. I was one of the local pio-

neers and I think I was fortunate.I went from an all-black situation into

one nearly all-white and then back

again.That was quite an experience. I had

heard that the whites were so much

ahead of us and how hard it woublbe to catch up. To an extent this wa

true. I was a pretty good student butit still took a lot of hard work in

that situation to catch up. It was

easier in athletics but in the clas.

room it was tough. But it was a

challenge to me and I accepted itThe experience taught me a lot. I

xwa happy to get back into a blat 1

Maybe there's another reason he's:alled Wideout.

situation. I was glad to come to A&M.Question: This is your senior year

(This is Powell's fifth year at FAMU.The NCAA allows up to four yearsof varsity competition within a five-year period). What one goal have youset for yourself as a football player?

Answer: I'de like to get my namein here (holding up a copy of the Rat-tler Record Book). After you'veplayed your time and gone, peopletend to forget about you. I'de like tobe remembered. I'de like to leave mymark somewhere in this little book."

Powell has an outside chance at twoFAMU interception records'. He hasintercepted five in each of the pasttwo seasons and if he gets seventhis season will tie the school careerrecord of 17 shared by Major Hazel-ton and Leroy Charlton. Also, if hegets seven he will tie the singleseason record shared also by Hazel-ton and Charlton.

But even if he misses the inter-ception records he will undoubtedlyleave his mark on life, and at FAMU,Leroy Powell already has establisheda new record: for being the littlestAlattler with the biggest heart.

JIM WILLIAMS/Head Coach

James J. "Big Jim" Williamsis entering his second season as

Shead coach of the Rattlers. Hisyoung squad posted a 5-6 markin 1972 but with a year's ex-perience under the new systemshould be ready to come aroundfor the 1973 campaign.

Williams played four years forFlorida A&M and has coached both

in high school and college as wellas worked for the Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare.

A native of Tampa, Williams entered Florida A&M in 1942 and wasthe lone freshman in the startinglineup under Bill Bell. Before theend of the season he had takenover the starting quarterback-tail-back job, an act unheard of for afreshman under Bell's reign.

The Rattlers went undefeatedthat year (9-0-0) and won the na-tional championship.

"Big Jim" entered the army thefollowing year and didn't rejoin theRattlers until 1946, but when hedid return, Williams took back hisjob as starting quarterback and ledthe Rattlers to a 23-7 record overthe next three years. At the end ofhis senior year, 1948, Williams wasa first team Chicago Defender AllA merican.

His last three years at FloridaA&M were spent under Jake Gai-ther and the legendary Rattlercoach remembers Williams as"one of the best punters and pass-ers we ever had."

After leaving A&M, Williams re-turned to Tampa as a high schoolcoach at Don Thompson HighSchool (the name later waschanged to Blake). He remained

there until 1965 and during histenure as head coach he compileda record of 88-11-3. His Blaketeams were perennial state cham-pions or runners-up.

Williams left Blake and joinedthe coaching staff at SouthernUniversity at Baton Rouge, La-, in1966 but stayed only one year ascoach of the defense and kickers.

The riots flared up in Tampa in1967 and Williams was called backto help quell the disturbance . . .and he did, as an official of HEW.

When the quiet was restored toTampa, Williams returned to theHillsboro County School System.He later spent four years as an as-sistant coach at the University ofTampa.

One of the first things he didafter taking over the Rattlers wasto commit himself to do "all I canto ieturn the Rattlers to their win-ning tradition. I am making nopromises or predictions but I amgoing to work hard, my staff isgoing to work hard and the playersare going to work hard to try torevive the old Rattlerism here atFAM U ."

Williams is married to the for-filer Lillian Maxey of Tampa andthey have one daughter who ismarried and living in Dallas, Texas.

Rattler Network Bigger and Better

€rI/~ I

This year the Rattler RadioNetwork is bigger and betterthan ever with a crew of threeexperts and a network of eightstations throughout Florida andSouth Georgia.

Independent Life is again thelife of the network as the in-surance company is sponsoringthe network for the second yearin a row. WMBM Radio Stationin Miami is the flagship stationfor the network. Allan B. Mar-golis, president of WMBM is net-work producer.

The men who make the net-work go, though, are among thebest in their respective fields andthey virtually take the fans "tothe field" via the radio.

Gary Mitchell and Ed Littlerhandle the play-by-play andHansel Tookes does the analyz-ing.

Mitchell is in his third yearwith the Rattler Network. Hewas in on the ground floor whenthe network was being built fouryears ago. He is currentlyanchorman for the 11:00 Newsfor WCTV Television in Talla-hassee. His experiences rangefrom working with NBC Radio &TV at the Democratic and Re-publican Conventions in 1968 toworking with the Junior MissPageant for CBS to play-by-playfor the Florida State baseballgames.

This is the second year forLittler on the network. He wasthe lone play-by-play man lastseason and teamed with colorman Al Rock to do an outstand-ing job. Ed also has worked withFSU baseball and basketball.

Tookes is the athletit di-rector at FAMU but his ex

perience as a coach and playerfor over 25 years makes himwell suited for the analyst role.The new AD takes time from abusy schedule to sit in on thenetwork and donates all compen-sation to the athletic depart-ment.

With this trio at the controlsand with Independent Life pro-viding the background support,Rattler fans have a networkthat rivals any in the countryfor its quality. The number ofstations keeps growing and soonthe Rattler Network will rivalany for size too.

Homecoming At Full BlastHomecoming at colleges and uni-

versities a re basically predictable,caught up too much in traditionrather than in the concerns of thepresent and future. Not so this yearat Florida A&M University.

As usual, students have workedhard to make the weekend of October11-13 unforgettable for alumni andthat's traditional. However, there'sa new twist. Alumni joined studentsto put on a "futuristic" show thatwas a treat for anybody looking on.

With the theme, "FAMU-ThePassport to the Future," activitiesbegan at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October11, with the coronation of Miss FAMUSanta H. DeCosta.

Everybody attending the corona-tion received a "passport" at the door-the "passport" was the program forthe event. With oodles of hoopla, ajourney began that will continue lateSaturday night. The coronation set-ting and lighting created the "futur-istic" effect.

Dr. Klara S. Hadley, chairman ofHomecoming '73 said students andalumni were to emphasize the suc-cess FAMU has had in educatingblack men and women while at thesame time pointing out present andfuture opportunities at the Universityfor all races, colors and nationalities.

The Montereys and the Dolls, asoul group out of Tampa, performedin the Grand Ballroom for the Corona-tion Ball immediately following theprogram.

A convocation program, bringingalumni into the activities, got under-way at 10:00 a.m., Friday in CharlesWinter Wood Theatre. Dr. LeonaraW. Johnson, president of the NationalAlumni Association, was the mainspeaker in the first convocation, ever,at a FAMU Homecoming.

Other participating alumni wereState President Dr. Simon O. John-son, National Chaplain Dr. Herbert

Alexander, Regional Vice PresidentFrederick Milton, Leon County Chap-ter President Virgil L. Elkins, LeonCounty Vice President Katherine E.Larkins. Miss FAMU introduced thespeaker. Music was provided by theMusic Department.

From 2:00-4:15 p.m., there were Monticello, Fia. will !lay. Admissihon

two slow-pitch softball games at thebaseball diamond. In the first one,alumni women took on women stu-dents. In the second, alumni menplayed student men. Alumni and stu-dents put up $100 that will later bepresented to President B. L. Perry, Jr.for scholarships.

The popular Snake Walk and Rat-tler Strike were held Friday nign-.The Snake Walk began at 8:15 withsections of the Marching "100" Bandleading students from mid-campus toBragg Memorial Stadium. At 8:45 thoRattler Strike was held with charge4from students, administrators andalumni, and finally fireworks.

A dance was held immediately afterthe Strike in the parking lot be-tween the Student Union Buildii gand Perry-Paige Auditorium.

The American Way for starting amorning is with a cup of coffee. S-;oFAMU and Morris Brown (Home-coming opponents) took part in acoffee hour, 8:00 a.m., Saturday inthe Student Union Building.

The Homecoming parade, consist-ing of 10 marching bands and 20floats left the FAMU campus viaGamble Street. Step-off time was9:00 a.m.

The Rattlers take on the Wolverinesof Morris Brown at 2:00 in BraggMemorial Stadium. The teams will beably supported by bands and queensfrom both schools.

Immediately after the game, thepresident buffet for alumni andfriends of the University will beheld in the Perry-Paige Auditorium.

At 6:00 p.m., a reception will besponsored by the Pentecostal Councilin the Palm Room of the StudentUnion Building. Then at 8:00 p.m.the Council will present a gospel ex-travaganza in Lee Hall Auditorium.

The Isley Brothers, who spun thefast-selling disc, "That Lady," willperform at the Victory Dance at 9:00p.m., in Gaither Gymnasium. Ad-mission is $5.00. Tickets may be ob-tained from the Office of StudentAffairs on campus.

At 9:30 p.m., the alumni will spon-sor a dance at the Dade Street Re-creation Center. The Bravados from

is $5.00. Tickets may be obtained fromthe Leon County Alumni Chapter orthe Dade Street Center.

MARY L. LEE

The Winning ThemeMary L. Lee, daughter of Rev. and

Mrs. Philip L. Lee, of Midway, Fla.had no idea when she entered her27 suggestions for the Florida A&MUniversit. Homecoming theme thatone of them would win out.

But her entry "FAMU: The Pass-port to the Future" was selected bythe Committee for Homecoming '73as No. 1 of the 163 entered by 25different students. Mary, a juniorsociology major, earned a float in theHIomecoming Parade, Saturday, Oc-tober 13, and an all expense paid tripto the Orange Blossom Classic onDecember 8, in Miami.

Mary submitted other dillies thatdidn't quite make it. Among themwere "FAMU by Choice, Not Chance,""FAMU A Haven of Hope."

Mary's motivation for writing thewinning theme, she said, was "Ialways thought about education asbeing the passport to the future.And FAMU has been the place wheremany black students have been edu-cated. So, I consider FAMU our pass-port to the future."

These Rattlers Are UndefeatedBy JERONE YOUNG

FAMU's Rattlers are un-defeated and ranked No. 5 inthe Nation.

Of course, this couldn't be thefootball team this year. Howabout the Rafter Rocking Rat-tlers...the FAMU cheerleaders.

Florida A&M University islucky to have the best group ofcheerleaders in the state andthe fifth-ranked squad in all thestates. But that's how it is.

The FAMU squad has com-peted against the best the coun-

-ArT.

try has to offer and placedamong the top five cheerleadingsquads in the nation, The otherfour are UCLA, Southern Cal,University of Georgia and PennState.

During the spring of eachyear the Rattler Rooters holdtryouts to replace graduatesand to replace old routines andcreate top new ones that keepthem always fresh and interest-ing.

There are many hours ofpractice put in by the membersof the squad, under the direction

of Mrs. Beverly Barber. Thetime spent practicing really paysolf wnen the squad electritiesthe crowd and athletes withtheir precision routines andstunts.

This is one thing that hasMrs. i:aroer distUrboi, h. e er.The routines are so appealin; tothe crow(oi that she is afraid thecheerleauers are looked upon asentertainci' rather than moti-vato:%,. "Our cheerleaders arenot out tnice to entertain thecrowd," she said. "They are tolead the crowd in cheers andgive organization to the root-ing."

Many times t h e Rattlercheerleaders have been the onlyinspiration of hope when wewere behind.

Their chants and cheers seemto act as blankets of together-ness which stimulate theOrange and Green blood of allRattlers ... the blood that runsdeep in all FAMUANs' veins ofpride in excellence.

One member of the squadsummed up the feelings of theentire group: "When we go outto cheer we are not only rooting

for the athletes to pertorm attheir best but also for FAMU asthe institution of love and pride.This attitude probably is one ofthe reasons the 12 FAMU Root-ers are among the nation's best.

The next time you are out toa FAMU sports event, rememberyou have one of the best cheer-leading squads in the land lead-ing the rooting. Join in and helpthe Rattlers do their thing.

College Football "Plays It Again" Sundayby GRAYIT J \I.lFT' \C'AA P'omoiion Director

As it is popularly conceived, the in-stant replay is a split-screened, isolat-ed, slo-mo, stop-action piece of artwhich lets you see the play you didn'tsee a few seconds earlier.

But popular conceptions are far tooconfining. An instant replay--in everysense of the term-takes place everySunday morning on most ABC sta-tions. It even has a name-ABC Col-lege Football Highlights Show.

Putting the Sunday morning high-lights show together is a game in it-self; and when you consider that the"working day" in Chicago for theshow is 11 p.m. Saturday until 11 a.m.Sunday, you can bet it's the only gamein town.

For at least three members of theHighlights Show team, it's an awaygame. Dick Snider, director of NCAAFilms and executive producer of theshow, checks into Chicago Saturdaynight from his home in Wichita, Kan.Kemper Peacock, the producer-direc-tor, journeys from New York; and BillFlemming, the host, comes from hisassignment on ABC's college footballtelecast of the week.

Snider minimizes his role in theproduction, but the five-year reign ofthe show is to his credit. "You know,the whole thing's impossible," he con-fesses. "The good thing is that we nev-er have time to stop and think aboutthat when we are putting the showtogether."

Snider's involvement with the showreally begins the Monday before.That'swhen he huddles with ABC executivesto determine what games will be fea-tured.

"We'll film on the average of 12games a weekend, and then pick thefive or six top games. Those games aredetermined on the importance of thecontest, logistics or even if oneof theteams has a player everybody wouldlike to see.

"The most important thing about theshow," Snider continued, "is gettingthe film into Chicago. When I getthere Saturday night, I contact thecameramen and find out what flightsthe film's going to be on. Then I makesure that our messengers-who race toO'Hare and Midway airports on motor-cycles-get out there and get the film.

Important Motorcycles

"Kemper Peacock has been all overthe world and has to be one of the bestin the business, Bill Flemming hascovered every major sporting event inthe world, and I've been around a lit-tle, too; but we all are helpless if oneof those guys in a helmet and leatherjacket can't get his bike started."

In the five years the show has beenon the air, only one shipment of filmhas been lost in transit. "I know theplane schedules into Chicago betterthan the airlines," says Snider, "butsometimes things go wrong. We had animportant game coming in from theSouth on Piedmont Airlines. It arrivedon time, but the messenger didn't, andPiedmont closed down its baggagecounter. We had to call Piedmont'shome office, get the manager's name

Bill Flemming'Physicolly exhousting"'

in Chicago, get him out of bed anddown to O'Hare."

Kemper Peacock is the head of aproduction company by the samename. "I know I'm good with dead-lines but this is ridiculous," Peacocksaid as he sat at a desk surroundedby some of his own photography. "It'stough, but we get it done. I work withthree editors in Chicago on the show.I'll edit the main game-the one wespotlight-and the rest of the work isparcelled out to the others. We haveroughly four hours to do the work ...and we do it. That's all."

Each cameraman provides a play-by-play account of the game with thefilm. It's up to Peacock to edit the foot-age into an exciting, five-minute piece.

"At 4:30 a.m. we transfer the mate-rial from film to video-tape and haveour first run through. Bill Flemmingarrives on the scene between 5:30 and6 a.m.; and we must have the showcompleted by 10 a.m. We have roughlythree hours to get everything right.We have the edited film and any otherfeatures that I might have worked onin New York that we have to get intothe show. But, Bill's got to get his nar-ration in; and we have late scores toinclude. You know, it just might beimpossible."

WLS, the ABC affiliate in Chicago,has to have the show by 10 a.m. to in-sure at least one run through. But, thestation has been persuaded to take theshow later.

Show Must Go On"Our record is 10:57," Peacock ad

mitted. "WLS had 'Water Skiing fromCypress Garden' all racked up, readyto run. But, we made it. We've madeevery show."

The "interior linemen" of the showare the writers. Jeff Elliott, who dou-bles as the assistant director of the BigTen Service Bureau, and Kay Schultz,Chicago journalist, spend their timelooking over shoulders and gettingpeople out of bed.

'I just try to compile as much infor-niation as possible," Elliott explains,mand when you work through the

night, that means disturbing some'peopl."'Flemming is the man up front. Ac-

crmding to Snider, "He is super. He's'in' of the few sportscasters who couldi, this show. He knows the game, and

yati can't shake him up."Flemming smiled at this commentmnd said, "They do call me 'one-shot

Ilihmining.' Let's face it, that's myIn'ngth. I can get the thing done in,10 take. And fifty per cent of the

tine, that's all we have time for."Flemming is on the college football

mine every Saturday afternoon work-i,, a game for ABC. After the gamehe hops into his own plane and heads1l(r Chicago.

"Flying my own plane is the only%kay to do it," says Flemming. "Evenso, sometimes I have to leave at half-time, or before, to make it. It's amaz-ing, but I've never been weatheredout. I've had some bumpy flights, butChicago has always been open for me."

Upon arrival in Chicago, Flemmingreads the first edition of the Tribune to

get a bead on some of the games. Prep-aration is his hallmark. He compilesinformation throughout the week onthe games which will probably be

used then adlibs this information dur-ing the taping of the show.

After getting a wake-up call at 4:30a.m., Flemming heads over to beginthe taping. He gets the script outlinethen the cameras roll. Often the nar-ration is material Flemming is seeingfor the first time

1I think this is an advantage," hesays. "I put everything into the pres-ent tense. It's like I'm announcing the

game for the first time. To us, the

game isn't in the past."

Flemming Cares

Flemming is a perfectionist. "WithBill you have to be prepared," says El-liott. "If he sees a name he's never seenbefore, he wants to know how to pro-nounce it. His standard line is 'Areyou sure'' I'd hate to tell you howmany times we've run to a phone at6 a.m. to check out a pronunciation, astatistic, a record or ev, i a hometown."

Peacock rolls the camera t (6 a.m.,and Flemming begins read If hemakes a mistake, the film is s! rolledbecause the important item is to getall the film onto video-tape. Afterthat is accomplished, then the back-tracking is done. When Flemming ishappy with the script and is sure thateverything is correct, he proceeds inhis one-shot fashion.

The result is an exciting footballshow, which provides information-anentertaining news show.

"The show is good," Flemmingclaims, "and I can tell you why. Wehave a great team, and we all 'dig'college football."

The 12-hour period which spawnsthe Sunday Morning College FootballHighlights Show is summed up byFlemming: "Physically exhausting."

NCAA Reorganizes Itself into Three Divisionsby DAVE DANIEL, NCAA News Editor

Some folks think the National Col-legiate Athletic Association's reorgan-ization into three divisions is muchlike ordering from a menu in a Chi-nese restaurant-with One you getfootball; or with Two you may chooseone from Division I.

Actually, the NCAA remains thesame-only the names have beenchanged.

The Constitution remains a singledocument, applicable to all members.The reorganization allows for eachdivision to adopt amendments to theBylaws applicable only to that specificdivision without the approval of anyother division.

Each NCAA member institution willselect its division through self-deter-mination, except in the sport of foot-ball, in which Division I membershipwill consist of those 126 institutionscurrently classified as "major" by theFootball Statistics and ClassificationCommittee.

Self-determination is a key phrase.Many think that Division I member-ship is restricted to those 126 "major"teams. However, an institution mayclassify itself Division I in all sportsother than football. Fordham Univer-sity would be a prime example. Itsprogram, except football, is Division I.Its football team is classified DivisionIII.

To Each His OwnThe members of each division ma:,

establish criteria for membership inthat division subsequent to self-deter-mination.

An institution in Division II or IIImay elect to participate in Division Iin one sport, other than football orbasketball, and must abide by theDivision I Bylaws which govern thesport in question, even though theinstitution's membership rests in an-other division. An example could bePan American University, which couldhave an overall Division II program,but could elect to participate in Divi-sion I in baseball, its strongest program.

There are numerous other examplcalso, and it's possible that some insttutions could compete in all thidivisions in different sports. An ins1tution's football team could be classfled Division III, it could self-deter-mine Division II for its overall pro-gram, and still choose Division I forone sport.

No matter what division an institu-tion competes in, it will have a much

better opportunity to compete in aNational Collegiate Championshipevent.

The NCAA will sponsor a minimumof 39 National Championships by the1975-76 year with at least 10 Cham-pionships in each of the three divisions.

Only one National Championshipwill be conducted in the sports offencing, hockey, skiing, indoor track,volleyball and water polo. All mem-ber institutions are eligible to com-pete in the above Championshipsunder eligibility rules of the divisionthey elect for their overall programthrough 1975-76. After that, the mem-ber institution and its individual ath-letes must be eligible under the gov-erning legislation for the division con-ducting the championship.

Each of the three divisions will haveNational Championship competition inthe sports of baseball, basketball, crosscountry, golf, soccer, swimming, ten-nis, outdoor track and field and wres-tling.

In addition, Divisions II and III willhave a National Championship tourna-ment in football.

Gymnastics and lacrosse champion-ships will be sponsored in Divisions Iand II and members of Division IIIwill be eligible for the Division IIchampionship in these sports.

In individual events, certain placewinners from Division II and IIIchampionships who meet the qualify-ing standards will be eligible to com-pete in Division I competition, provid-ing such individuals have met all aca-demic and eligibility requirements ofDivision I, including academic stand-ards for initial participation. For ex-ample, the top five finishers in theDivision II and Division III crosscountry championships will be eligibleto compete in the Division I champion-ship.

Nv' ~

Movement PossibleAn institution may change its divi-

sion membership by petitioning theNCAA Council if it meets the estab-lished criteria for membership in thedivision it wishes to be transferred to.

The Council itself will be restruc-tured to give each division represen-tation.

The Council will retain its 16-mem-ber make-up, but each NCAA Dis-trict shall have a vice-president andeight vice-presidents will be electedat-large.

Among the 16 vice-presidents, eightwill be from Division I members andfour each will come from Divisions IIand III. The president and secretary-treasurer will be ex officio members ofthe Council, as they currently are, andthey may be elected from any division.

The Executive Committee will alsobe restructured with five membersbeing elected from Division I andthree from Divisions II and III witheach division being represented by atleast one member.

All standing committees of theNCAA will be evaluated with a viewtowards providing representation toeach division where appropriate. Spe-cifically, each of the three divisionsshall be represented on all rules com-mittees. This will be accomplishedafter the Association's 68th annualConvention in January in San Fran-cisco, where the implementing legisla-tion will be presented.

The reorganization plan was con-sidered to be a vital course of actionfor the NCAA. "It will enable ourmembers to enact rules which pertainto their own competition," said NCAAPresident Alan J. Chapman. "It willmake the NCAA an even more valu-able force in intercollegiate athletics."
