The old man can still dribble... FABULOUS MARQUES HA YNES Globetrotters playing here Wednesday night Few American athletes can expect to be recognized away from their own country. Harlem Globetrotter star and all-time basketball great, Marques Haynes, is as popular in Paris, France as be is in Paris, Texas. Last year Haynes was invited to be a guest in- . s true tor at an international coaching clinic, held in conjunction with the Amateur Basketball Cham pionships in Yugoslavia. “If a popularity contest had been held, reported one ' ■ international coaches in attendance, “Marques would have won by a landslide.” But popularity is nothing new for Marques Haynes. When Marques was establishing himself as basketball’s first super-star, Babe Ruth was still hitting home runs. Today, as Hank Aaron becomes the first player to approach Ruth’s record, Marques is still going strong. Although he looks virtually the same as he did the day he graduated from Oklahoma’s Langston College, Marques won’t admit how old he really is. “I won’t say how old I am,” laughs Marques, “but I will say I am the only active player who has played competitive basketball in the thirties, forties, fif ties, sixties and now in the seventies.” The Globetrotter standout, who will be in action with his Trotter teammates Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in Mac Court, was playing high school basketball in the late thirties and has played college or protessiutuu ball every year since. After travel »c „ couple million miles, and playing thousands of games in this country and around the world, Haynes can look back on a myriad of memories and ex periences x 6uess tne greatest thrill for me has been the opportunity to be a kind of first hand observer of the type of social changes that have occurred in thin country in the part few years. “In many cities the Globetrotters were the first group to play in an integrated building, because we wouldn’t play any other way,” Marques says. “Because we were a Black team, we often spent nights sleeping in the car and eating cold sand wiches. And not all those nights were in the Smith. Today, if we eat cold sandwiches, it is because we want to eat cold sandwiches. But instead of just reading about such change, I feel fortunate to have actually taken part.” Although everything changes in time, it is nice to know that in at least one area, the world of basketball, one thing remains constant. That is the uncanny ability of the original Mr. Basketball, Marques Haynes. Duck City chess The Duck City Open, a five-round chess tour nament, will be held at the Eugene Hotel Jan. 13 and , 14.
