KERMIT WASHINGTON
Cuba, U.S. field jo in t boxing team I EPA Hwy-
by Ron Sykes
It* been some 23 years, dating
back to the dictatorial Juan Batista
regime, since the United States and
Cuba had any joint sports teams.
Bu, now, if you can believe it, it’s
about to happen again.
Six Cuban and six Americans won
gold medals at the World Cup elim
ination round held in Shreveport,
La., clinching their participation in
the big event as members o f the
North and Central American zone’s
team. The World Cup tourney will
be held in Montreal, Canada.
The roster for the W orld cup
reads as follows: Europe, two
trams; Asia, two teams; Africa, two
teams; and South America, Ocean
ia, North and Central America and
Canada one team each.
Since Puerto Rico and the D o
minican Republic drew a blank in
Shreveport the North and Central
America Team will be comprised
solely from the U.S. and Cuba. This
team should be very strong since
both countries are super-strong in
International boxing.
The elim ination round was a
rough test, simply because o f the
U .S. strength in the lower weight
classes. Cuba was expected to
dominate and experts picked the
Castroites to win 8 o f the 12 gold
medals offered.
The U.S. will be represented by:
Richard Savage (106 lbs.), James
Mitchel (112 lbs.), Louis Howard
(125 lbs.) Johnny W illiam s (135
lbs.), Carl Williams (H vyw t.) and
Johnny Keys(Superheavy).
The Cubans will send their usual
group of seasoned veterans: Hipo-
lito Ramos (Flyw eight), Olympic
runner-up; Omar Santiesteban (112
lbs.); Adolfo Horta (Lightweight),
Olympic runner-up and W orld
champion in the 125 lb. class; Angel
Herrera (W elterweight), two-time
Olympic champion; and Jose Gom
ez (M iddlew eight), Olympic gold
medal winner.
W ith all these ex-champions on
the Cuban squad the U.S. boxers
were superior to the Cubans. The
U .S. continues to build a young
team while the Cubans are content
to rely on their older fighters. Word
has it that T eo filio Stephenson,
Cuba’s threc-timc Olympic champ,
is ready to defend his title in Los
Angeles. When will T e o filio stop
beating up on the youngsters of the
world?

Andre Robinson, a native o f B ir
mingham, Alabam a, was recently
named to the Kodak All-American
NCAA l-A A first team.
•
Robinson, who was earlier named
; as the SW AC Defensive-Playcr-of-
I the-Year, was the only SWAC play-
• er so honored on the prestigious Ko-
. dak All-Am erican team. Also, he
was one of 6 selected from a pre-
■ dominantly Black institution. The
< others are Anthony Reed and
DeWaync Jackson of South Carolina
/ State, M ike Jones and Malcolm
■ Taylor of Tennessee State and Mike
West of North Carolina A&T.
Robinson, a graduate of Parker
.* High, was really elated about mak-
I ing the All-Am erican team: “ I t ’ s
; really a thrill. 1 really wasn’t expcct-
1 ing to make it. It means (hat I ’m the
•’ best linebacker in Division l-A A .
■ To think about it just makes me feel
: great.”
Robinson also wasn’t expecting to
’ be named as the SW AC Defensive-
Playcr-of-thc-Year: “ To be named
as the best in the SW A C is a great
feeling. When you’re voted as the
best in the SW AC that means that
you can compete with anybody any
where. Some great defensive players
have graduated from the S W A C .
and I ’m glad to be among that num
ber.”
Robinson credits the play o f the
‘Trees of Terror’ for his success, the
GSU front four: "O u r defense was
designed for me, or the middleline
backer, to make most of the tackles.
I was just fortunate to do my jo b .”
He has 128 total tackles in eight and
one-half games before an ankle in
jury kept him ou, o f the Tiger last
two games, causing them to lose
both and not make the playoffs.
Andre, the son o f Mrs. Evelyn
Bezille, is hoping that the recogni
tion that comes with being an All-
American helps him land a post-sea-
son berth in a play-off game and to
also gc, drafted: " I ’m hoping to get
a chance to play in some post-season
senior All Star game to upgrade my
credentials among the pro scouts.
All I need is a chance.”

HELP
YOU!
Head coach Eddie Robinson
states this about Robinson: “ 1 ex
pected him to make the team. He’s a
good athlete and is very deserving of
the award. I hope he gets a chance
to play in some bowl game. He de
serves it.”
Canada first!
A Black quarterback has never
started in the Super Bowl, but two
Black quarterbacks were the heroes
in Canada’s Super Bowl— the Grey
Cup classic.
Former University of Washington
great Warren Moon led the Edmon
ton Eskimos to their fourth straight
Grey Cup title by edging the Ottawa
Roughriders, 26-23. Ottawa’s quar
terback was J.C. Watts of Oklaho
ma fame.
Moon was named M V P in the
1980 classic, but this time the honor
went to Watts.
Davis honored
G ram bling’s president. Dr. Jo
seph B. Johnson, presented Gramb
ling’s M an o f the Year award to
W illie Davis, the former Tiger All-
American, Green Bay Packers all-
pro and recent N F L Hall of Fame
inductee, in half-time ceremonies at
the Bayou classic.
Remember W alt H azzard, ex-
UCLA and L.A . Laker great? Walt,
who later changed his name to A b
dul-R ahm an, is now coaching at
Compton College.
