Basketball comes clean
by A I McGUberry
The song is ended, but the melody
still lingers on in college sports.
Just the other day San Francisco
U n ive rs ity , one o f the top college
programs in the nation, closed their
highly successful program down.
I he school that brought fame to
its campus by the great Hill Russell
and K .C . Jones said it would not
continue to fool the public. The no
toriety has been a bit too much.
I hey tried to clean house before
and brought a new athletic director
and u new coach to start fresh but
you can’t sleep comfortably on dirty
linen. So the change o f athletic man
agers d id n ’ t alter the system. The
smell just would not go away.
I he w in -n o -m a tte r-w h a t is all
over college sports and w ill not
change until the college presidents
change.
W hat kids are in college for must
be d efin e d . O rig in a lly it was
thought that they were there to earn
a degree but that is not always the
case.
M any arc in school to play fo o t
b a ll, basketball, etc. They attend
very few classes and drive expensive
cars and receive a check like anyone
with a job. T o the kids it is a job.
M an y schools are suspended by
the N .C .A . A. and the cash register
still keeps ringing. Not being able to
attend a bowl game or jo in in the
basketball tournament doesn't hurt.
Business goes on as usual.
Boston C ollege had a betting
scandal in basketball. Players were
shaving points but the school kept
on th e ir busy schedule and the
league they were in didn’ t even slap
their wrist.
W hy should anything change in
college sports? Everyone is doing
the same thing. Cheating.
George Rogers, just out o f c o l
lege, admitted buying lots o f drugs.
Do you think he started using drugs
when he got into the pro ranks? No
way! George was using drugs all the
time in college too— you can bet on
that!
The integrity o f sport is at stake.
The lesson must be taught in Jr.
H igh School. W ith o u t the proper
grades you just w o n ’ t play. H ave
you ever listened on T .V . to an ath
lete talking to the announcer? Most
c a n 't even speak the English la n
guage. What a shame. Let’s let col
lege be for educating kids and not
exploiting them.
W hat about coaches? M ost just
jum p from one school to another.
Whoever can cheat the best gets the
best jobs. But there are coaches who
kids can look up to and respect, like
Bobby K n ig h t, John T h o m p so n ,
Dean Smith and their kind, who be
lieve in building character and not
just w inning games. So le t’ s start
w ith athletic directors and adm is
sions officers and see that only qual
ified kids w ith proper grade aver
ages get into colleges. Let coaches
be treated like history teachers and
not like gods. Colleges will then func
tion as learning institutions and not
like training camps for sports pro
fessionals.
The fans and parents must be
happy that one school is standing up
for the right. And maybe this might
get all the college presidents to stop
counting the gate and do their jo b ,
which is supposed to be education.
L et’s hope that this Catholic school
that is trying to win back respect will
be the example for all athletic pro
grams to follow. Let’s start teaching
the kids honesty and integrity and
let the game be for fun after a hard
day in the books. Keep watching— it
has to happen. Sport will soon clean
its own mess.
Jackie's dream. . .
by A t McGUberry
Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron
were inducted in to the H a ll o f
Fam e. It was a great day for these
two greats who carried on in the tra
dition o f Jackie Robinson.
H an k, a very emotional man, got
caught up in the feeling o f the day.
W ith tears in his eyes he rem em
bered the hurt he received in break
ing Babe R uth’s long-standing rec
ord.
Analysis
Frank, M r. C ool, as always, just
thanked God and fam ily for having
the chance and the talent to perform
as only he could.
I t ’ s hard to believe that only 33
years ago Jackie Robinson dashed
in to the sport scene, changing the
course o f sport forever.
A fter 35 years the black athlete is
still considered just an entertainer;
very few m anage, coach or own
sport franchises. M an y are q u a li
fied, but few are considered for po
sitions after their skills are gone. I
challenge Am erica to be Am erica.
Let freedom ring. A nd let race be
only a word for the dictionary. Let
talent rise to the top o f the ladder in
m edicine and in spo rt. Let sport
lead the nation in fair play.
W c can do it. I can see Jackie
com ing around th ird , his spikes
gleam ing as he slides home. L e t’ s
not let his spirit die. A w inner a l
ways wins. How about it America?
There are eight black athletes en
shrined in the H a ll o f Fame: Ernie
Banks, W illie M ays, Bob G ibson,
Roy C am panella, Jackie, Roberto
C lem en te, F rank R obin so n , and
H a n k . It w asn’ t easy fo r any o f
them to achieve greatness under a
veil o f prejudice. I wonder if Jackie
is smiling today. O r is there still that
frown on his face, wishing and hop
ing that Am erica w ill lose its fight
w ith color and w in the race o f
intearitv?
I hope that in my time I w ill see
success in sport, and in all other ca
reers, be aw arded to the best, no
matter the color o f the person.
In 35 years we are still limping in
this area o f prejudice. L e t’ s start
running and enjoy life. It must hurt
to hate.
