He is a free safety for the Cowboys. "Richmond got hit in the head and when he fell he twisted his ankle a little," Brandt said yesterday.

So she's moved around in her life, and the move to Fisk was nothing new. "I've never found moving around a burden," she says. "Sure, there are some adjustments, but I've always found them to be relatively easy. In each place we've lived, I've made some great friends and have been happy." That's something she' inherited from her dad, too.

"I came to Fisk because I didn't want to stay in Atlanta and I didn't want to get too far away from home," Gail said yesterday. "I'm going to really like it here, because already, I have made many friends." GAIL HAS many of her father's qualities, one of which is an ability to accept things as they are, in a cool, calm manner.

She never volunteers to new friends that her dad is the famous baseball player, because she says she wants to be known for the person she is herself. "But if they find out, it really makes no difference," she says. She follows her father's career avidly, as well as rooting all the time for the Braves. "MY FATHER and I are very close and I'm just as interested in the things he does as he is in the things I do," Gail explained. "Hank Aaron is not only my father, but my best friend.

I realize he has a chance to break some of Babe Ruth's records and some of Willie Mays', too. and I'm right in there pulling for him constantly. My dad has worked hard and I'm very proud of him." She says he never brings baseball home with him. "I guess he's home so very little that when he is there he wants to hear about the things we've been doing," she said. "My dad is dedicated to each of us.

My two brothers and sister follow his career as closely as I do. We love him and care about him and he returns our love and interest with his love and interest for us."

Ian the 9 I ALL NEW 1971 CHRYSLERS i I AND PLYMOUTHS IN STOCK if Craig has earned a place on the Bengals' roster. "It's a highly unusual situation," admitted Craig, who plays both strong safety and cornerback with the Bengals. "I came from a ghetto section of Cincinnati where it's generally accepted that people are born there and die there without making anything of themselves. "NOW I'M BACK in Cincinnati, and I have a chance to play professional football in my hometown," he continued.

"It's the kind of chance 1 want. You see, I had planned to go to law school and get a degree in urban planning or poverty law. This would be a way for me to get back into the ghetto. "But professional football is another way. I want to get that degree eventually, and I will.

Then I'll go back into the West End and help those kids work out of the same situation I found myself locked into," Craig added. "These kids have idols bid they can't relate to them. This way, I can give them something to relate to." At this stage, Craig is making a positive impression upon the Bengals. He is accumulating what he terms "stay-here" points such things as a recovered fumble in last week's exhibition game with St. Louis.

"PRO strange FOOTBALL is a experience for me. It's not nearly as physical as I though it would be. There is more of a technical, analytical approach to the game," Craig explained. "This is another where the Fisk education prepared me. I have had no trouble learning the assignments, the patterns, the reactions "There's an example.
