SSC Hosts Lecturers On
PHOTODOCUMENTA TION

To study culture means to watch, look and absorb, in many different ways, what people do
and how they do it, said a Washington, D.C. Cultural Historian at SSC.

Dr. Berniece Reagon, Director of the Program in Black American Culture at the Smithsonian
Institute told SSC s faculty and students at the October 12th Humanoria that "Culture tells
you who you are." The primary function of documentary photography is to inform and
educate, an internationally acclaimed photographer said at SSC.

Roland Freeman, speaking in the Kennedy Fine Arts Center, said the legacy of style which
connects and reinforces our present and past is the stabilizing element of the African-
American experience.

"The roots of many black urban traditions in the United State are planted in the fertile folk
soil of our rural experiences," Freeman said.

These two lecturers have truly enlightened the SSC Family. All who had the privilege to
attend enjoyed this learning experience.

Senior Challenge

I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit Jar myself to know

I Want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself in the eye.

I don't want to stand with the setting sun,
And hate myself for the things I've done

I don't want to keep on the closed shelf
A lot of secrets about myself

And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking nobody else will know

The kind of person I real I v am.
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.

Tigerettes Tiger Defense Pleases Ellis;
"ifslPstrl. Passing Performance Weak

The Savannah State Tigers
pulled out to lead by as much as 12
points late in the game and fought
off a furious rally by Clark College
for a 62-59 upset of the conference
leading Lady Panthers Monday
night in the SSC gym.

SSC trailed 29-27 at the half, but
came back to pull up the upset as
the Tigerettes gained momentum
for their conference tournament.

Felicia Ashley, a former Savan-
nah High player, led SSC with 14
points, and Roberta Francis and
Shirley Boyd, also a former SHS
player, hit for 12 apiece.

Patty Miller led the team in re-
bounding with 11, and Boyd pulled 10
rebounds for SSC.

As a team, the Tigerettes outre-
bounded the Lady Panthers 47 to 37.

Devonia Green led Clark College
in scoring with 22 points and Thelma
Bogues added 20.

The victory improves SSC's re-
cord to 9-10, and the Tigettes will try
to reach the .500 mark when they
host Albany State Thursday night at
6:30.

SSC's conference tournament
will be Feb. 24 at Fort Valley State.

Savannah State football coach Frank
Ellis reflected on his team's 17-0 win over
Morehouse last Saturday and came up
with several bright spots and a depressing
low point

The aspect of he liked most was de-
fense The Tigers recored a shutout and
pressured the Maroon Tigers quarter-
backs all night long And, "with our backs
against the wall, the defense stopped
Morehouse inside the 10-yard line." Ellis
said. "I liked that "

What Elli"; didn't like was the way one
part of his offen<:o performed, primarily
the lack of a passing attack "Zero-for-
nine looks like baseball. t"'S said "That
doesn't sound too bad. but whc:: you look
at the films and see we dropped three or
four

'We still have to work on the passing,
^though. W can't depend on our runnmg
game all the time "

Knowing the kind of offense Morehouse
would run actually helped Savannah State
Saturday. Ellis and his staff knew the Ma-
roon Tigers likeed to throw long in hopes
of getting the quick score. The coordi-
nation between the backs, linebackers and

minus 20 yards in sackc and intercepted
four passes

'We mixed up the coverages a lot and
put pressure on the quarterbacks." Ellis
said "We'd disquise our man-to-man and
make it appear like a zone I can't say
enough about the way our coaches have
helped to make this team work together "

Morehouse did drive into SSC territory
twice In the third period the Maroon Ti-
gers had a firstand-goal at the 5 After
four downs. Morehouse had lost five yards
and gave the ball up on downs

Later in the third period. Morehouse
again had a first-and-10 at the 13 On a
fourth-and-three at the 5. Hewntt Dixon
fumbled and lost six yards ending the
scoring threat.

Ellis had known throughout the season
his defense will carry him a lot further
than his offense Even with a talented of-
fensive line and hard-running backs, the
Tigers have problems, at quarterback,
where Tony Richardson has net produced,
"We are going to work hard on our
passing game this week. " Ellis said "If
we had a passing game, it would be all the
better As it is now. people are going to
tart stacking the line on us

We started throwing the ball a few

tecepted. it still let Morehouse know we
would throw it some"

The pass protection for Richardson
held up well Saturday night When the
pressure was there. Richardson usually
ran off In his right or left or stepped up too
far in the pocket

"I ran .see a bad pass here or there."
Ellis said "But he got unsteady in there
and started to step up in the pocket The
linemen see him rr"ve to the right or left
and thai doesn't help "

Of course Ellis would like tc ''a.e a
controlled passing game, with i^c"",
running routes five to 10 yards tu lak>.
passes

"It's really nice to see those kinds q!
passes." Ellis said 'I've been stressing
dumping passes off to the back, hut it
hasn't worked I know that working with
that type of attack can eat up six or seven
mmutes

"When my team scores quickly. It
makes me nervous because that's just an-
other chance for their offense"

SSC Home Streak

dy BILLPENNINGTON

SMM Writer

Fort Valley State coach James
ffatrick used basically the same
type of defense on the Savannah
State Tigers he had employed in the
r^ular season meetings Thursday
night. But, he made one alteration
and it paid off in grand style.

; The Wildcats upset Southern In-
tercollegiate Athletic Conference
host Savannah State in the opening
rtmnd of the tournament, 80-72, to
halt the Tigers' two-year winning
streak at Wiley-Wilcox gymnasium,

; "Definitly, the key was our de-
fense, " said an elated Patrick "We
played a 1-2-2 zone just like we did in
oiir first two meetings this year
(^h SSC wins), but I made one
switch Before I had a little man out
front This time I put a 6-8 guy i Rod-
n^ Freeman! out there So, instead
of shooting over a little guy. they
had a big man to worry about It al-
so helped us cut off on some of their
wing shots, where they usually shoot
so well "

; Freeman scored 21 points, most-
ly off tips and lajiips, grabbed a
game-high 1 1 rebounds and blocked
three shots.

; "The big guy out there hurt us,"
said Tiger Coach Russell Ellington,

"and we couldn't get the ball down
low. With him out there, it opened it
up inside for us but they wouldn't
get it down in there Unless you get
it; inside, you aren't going to be

going to the line enough"

While the Tigers made "29 field
goals to 27 for Fort Valley, the Wild-
cats made 26-of-34 free throws to 14-
of-23 for Savannah State

Fort Valley's win sets up a mat-
chup with Clark College in tonight's
second semifinal game at 9 p m
Clark. 20-. defeated Morehouse 92-
70 earlier Thursday The other semi-
final at 7 has Albany State pldving
Tuskegee Albany advanced by
downing Morris Brown 87-74 and
Tuskegee beat Benedict 59-15

Savannah State, which finished
the season 18-8, ran its way to a 21-14
lead with 11 minutes to play in the
first half- But, when the Wildcats be-
gan stopping the fast brt-'ak, the Ti-
gers' shooting went cold and Fort
Valley's inside game started work-
ing successfully Eight points by
freshman Tony Hall over the next
two minutes and an 18-foot jumper
by Freddie Gibson gave the Wild-
cats a 24-23 advantage.

They never trailed again.

Hall had 19 points for the game
on 7-of-lO shooting from the field and
five-of-five from the Ime, Gibson
had 12 points and point guard Antho-
ny Roach had 14 points lor Fort Val-
ley.

During the final 11 minutes of the
half. Fort Valley, 17-11. outscored
the Tigers 24-9 to take a 38-30 lead to
the dressing room.

Savannah State Splits Turner
With Coastal Carolina Joins

Tigers

Mai Brunner tnpled in the tying
run, then scored the winner on Ty-
rone Williams' sacrifice fly to give
Savannah State a W victory over
Coastal Carolina for a split of a
doubleheader Thursday afternoon
Coastal Carolina won the first
game. 4-0.

Neither team did much hitting in
the doubleheader, as SSC totaled
just seven hits and Coastal Carolina
10, but the Tigers got what they
needed in the second game

With the Chanticleers, 4-2-1 and
ranked 12th in the NAIA. leading 4-3
through six innings, Brunner lofted
a towering triple that scored Roder-
ick Robinson with one out in the bot-
tom of the seventh Williams then
floated a fly ball deep enough to
bring home Brunner,

Anthony Oliver went the distance
for SSC, giving up just three hits to
pick up the win.

In the first game, loser Tyrone
Tate pitched 5% innings and surren-
dered three runs before giving way
to Algin Merritt. who allowed one
run in l'/4 Innings of relief work.

Savannah State. 1-1. hosts Meth-
odist College in a doubleheader Sat-
urday at 12:30p.m.

:>avannan Stale made a major
run at the Wildcats in the second
half Greg Grant, who scored 15
points off the tiench. brought the big-
gest roar from the partisan crowd
when his offensive rebound layup
cut the lead to 56-55 with 8 28 to go
Fori Valley then called a timeout

In the SSC huddle Ellington said
he told his team, "Whatever you do.
don't foul Don't send them to that
line,"

Michael Stocks, who led SSC with
18 points, though, fouled Gibson on
Fort Valley's first possession after
the timeout He made both free
throws and the Tigers were never
closer than three points the rest of
the way,

"We had our chances to come
back We just didn't play very
well." said Ellington "I think this
was our worst ball game of the year.
But they deserve credit too. they
played well and they made their
shots when they needed too" After
Gibsons free throws at the 8:17
mark, the Tigers were outscored 13-
4 and fell behind 71-59 with only 5
minutes to play. Two minutes later
when the spread was still nine
points, many of the near capacity
crowd began to file out.

The most familiar face for the tigers is, All-American safety man,
Cecil Newton, who two years ago, was tied for the nation s lead in in-
terceptions with 11. He was equaled in 1980 only by Ever son Walls
who is now playing with the NFL Dallas Cowboys. A severe thigh
injury caused Newton to be sidelined for the 1982 season, but he has
completely healed and is in best shape of his career.

Charles Mackie A TIGER To Remember

Charles Mackie 6'4. 177 lb Forward/Cenler front Augusia Ga. played his last game fur the Tiger basketball squad this year.

Ironically. .Mackie did not enter college to play basketball. He came in pursuit oj a degree in business. However, he was such a dominant figure on Intramural basketball
teams that he was persuaded to try out for the varsity basketball .Squad.

His try out proved fruitful and he has been a varsity Tiger since.

During his career. Mackie played in 77 games, scored 1 50 field goals for a 57'~c average, scored 68 free throws for a 50% average and averaged 3.7 rebounds and 4.7
points per game.

In his senior and last season Mackie was at the lop of his game. In 24 games he shot 57% from the floor hitting 73 of 1 26 shots. 41 % frotn the line hitting 28 of 6S. Pulled
down 121 rebounds for a 5.0 rpg average and scored 174 points for a 7.2 ppg average.

Mackie was also an honor student throughout his career. His G.P..A. is above 3.00 and he is sure to graduate with honors. Farewell Charles Mackie. )'ou 'II always be a
Tiger.

Truedell had an outstanding career at Talladega College where she started for four years. .So. winning is no stranger to her Her philosophy is a strong defense and a ru-

John Myles is a very familiar face around the Savannah Stale College Cam-
pus. Many may remember his long tenure as head football Coach but, Coach
Myles has tvi'o Conference Championships to his credit as head baseball
Coach.

Coach Myles' baseball Tigers missed another Conference championship in
1982 on the last day of play and he is optismistic about the 1983 team.
However, it will be tough for Coach to repeat his 1982 performance because of
the increased toughness of the 1983 schedule.

SSC has in Coach Myles the dedication to bring SSC baseball to the highest
degree of success and he constantly strives to instill this same dedication in his
ball players.

Savannah State College
1983-Baseball Prospectus-1983

Optimism is the word when it comes to the outlook for the
1983 Baseball Tigers of Savannah State College.

Coming off a 11-19 season in 1982, where the lineup consisted
of usually six or seven freshman, and two or three upper classmen.
We feel that we struggled to a good year, all things considered, but
1983 could be better.

Standouts returning this year include: Robert Jordan, catcher;
Tyrone Tate, pitcher- infielder; Ron Mattox, infielder; Roderick
Robinson, Darryl Rose, and Michael Jones, outfielders; Rick Nelson
and Jeff Simmons, pitchers.

The pitching staff will be strengthened with the addition of
newcomers Mai Brunner, Al Merritt, John Mills, Varden Williams, and
Albert Miller. Ken Merritt plans to return to the squad after a
year's hiatus. He will afford added assistance to the pitching
corps, as well as the outfield.

Other promising propects to be watched closely are: Chris
Lawrence, catcher Tyrone Williams, infielder; Larry Adams and
Marvin Stanley, infielders; and Terry Simmons, outfielder,

A more effective defensive style of play while maintaining an
offensive balance will be the modus operandi of this seasons 's
activities.

Coach John Lincoln Mason

A WELL KNOWN TIGER

when thinking of Savannah Stale College Athletics, one can not help hut think of John Lincoln Mason.

Coach Mason came to Savannah State in 1964 in the Division of Civil Engineering and has been in the service of the institution since.

When he became an assistant football coach, his engineering prowess was readily recognizable. He has functioned in numerous capacities as a football coach but. his forte
is clearly defense.

Coach Mason has molded one of the finest defensive units in the history of the institution. He consistantly has his defensive units at the head of the conference. .Although
SSC recently moved from NC.-i.A Division HI to NC.4.4 Division H. the Tigers are still among the finest defensive units around.

Coach John Lincoln Mason is "a very tough coach" says his players but. through the years, he has managed to get the absolute best out oj them.

Hals off to coach Mason. He is doing a whale of a job.

Letter From
The Editor:

Vara D. Allen

^

If the mind can perceive it the
body can achieve it.

To all new and returning
students, I hope you are enjoying
your school year. We are now well
into our Fall Quarter and some of us
still have not quite figured out why
we are here. "Savannah State ain't
about nothing and it's boring" or
"Man, this is a shabby school, I'm

transferring." Okay, so you do not
like what the school is doing for
you. You feel cheated because you
paid your money and they don't
have concerts once a month. You
deserve to have a pack jam every
weekend, right? Well before you
jump to all kinds of conclusions, I
think you had better take an indepth
look at yourselves. Savannah State
is YOU! You make the decisions, if
you vote. You make the changes
and improvements, if you get in-
volved! Nothing can be accomplish-
ed if we continue to wait for the
other man to do it. Savannah State
has, this quarter alone, had several
culturally enriching programs. How
many did you attend? If you didn't
attend any, why? The excuse that
you didn't know about it has played
out. By the time you get to college
you can supposedly read, and there
are signs up everywhere.

Along this same line we should
remember that we can have fun
without being obnoxious and rude.
"When someone has the guts to per-
form before an audience for SSC
students, they should be given a
gold medal.

Let's not fall into the category of
being this type of student. Savannah
State can flourish if we help it. We
have a beautiful campus and
beautiful people, so why not take
advantage of it and improve our
school?

We believe the children are our future, Teach them well and
let them lead the way.

Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a
sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children's
laughter remind us of how we used to be.

Everybody's searching for a hero. People need someone to look
up to. I never found anyone who fulfflled my needs.
A lonely place to be so I learned to depend on me.

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow. If
I fail, If I succeed, at least I have lived as I have believed.
No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my
dignity, because the greatest love of all happening to me.

I have found the greatest love of all inside of me. The
greatest love of all isn't easy to achieve. Learning to
love yourself is the greatest love of all.

And if I chance that special thing that you have been
dreaming of leads you too, alone to a place for the strength
in love.

The Greatest

EDITOR'S MESSAGE

Through the years at Savannah State College: especially as Editor-in-Chief of the TIGER YEARBOOK, m]
words alone can not be expressed. I have called upon Maltbie Davenport Babcock to summarize my feeling,
which are best expressed with his poem "Be Strong".

"Be Strong"

Be Strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle face it; 'tis God's gift.

Be Strong!
Say not, "The days are evil. Who's to blame?"
And fold the hands and acquiesce oh shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.

Be Strong!
It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not fight on!To-morrow comes the song.

Maltbie Davenport Babcock
