ATLANTA (UPD Tight end Billy Martin a home state boy and Atlanta alcons crowd pleaser was traded Wednesday by the National oothall League club to the Minnesota Vikings In return the alcons got Jerry Shay a 23 year old 245 pound defensive lineman who was on the Vikings taxi squad most of last season after being the No 1 draft choice in 1966 Martin 25 a native Gainesville Ga and an America at Georgia Tech been a starter most of the hears he spent with the alcons after coming to the team in the expansion draft from the Chicago Bears Late last season Atlanta acquired several flankers and ends and Martin found himself playing less and less During his two years with the club he caught 44 passes for 512 yards and three touchdowns The trade for Shay an All America at Purdue came as part of the last place rebuilding program which cen ters around a need for strong defensive linemen and a good running back Meanwhile the alcons an nounced the names of the 24 players they are interested in most next Tuesday in the com bined draft by the NL and the American ootball League The list was heavy with de fensive linemen including Claude Humphrey a 260 pound er from Tennessee A I Kev in Hardy of Notre Dame Mo Moorman of Texas A Wayne Meyland of Nebraska Bill Staley of Utah State Russ Washington of Missouri orrest Blue of Auburn and Dennis Byrd of North Carolina The lack of top running backs in college football this past sea son can be seen by the alcon list although the team vitally needs a runner with speed The only running backs on the list were MacArthur Lane of Utah State who averaged 76 yards per carry during 1966 as a junior and Weber 232 pound fullback Lee White Will the battle of South Iredell ever take place? beginning to look doubtful Blue Devils were originally scheduled to invade South gymnasium on January 9 The big ice storm started moving in that afternoon school classes were dismissed and the game shifted to the next night a Wednesday The white blanket which covered Iredell forced another postponement Wednesday mgm Then the scheduled for Wednesday night January 17 but Iredell County students were still enjoying a snow holiday probably a head ache for most parents and definitely a problem for school administrators as examinations were scheduled Harried South Iredell officials again switched the schedule to get Mooresville on the books for last night and moved the South North Iredell meeting to next Wednesday January 31 Snowy weather moved in again yesterday which would have forced another postponement had the tilt not already been shifted to a Thursday night date Schools were closed again today and that means no basketball in the county's school no policy No new date has yet been set doesn't look like ever get that game South Coach Gary Sherrill said this morning I'll tell you one thing it should really be a game when we do get to play because it seems that something happens all the time when trying to get it Kenneth Wilson assistant South Principal and athletic director said this morning that the game would not be played this week South already has a game scheduled riday night at Davie County The postponement will work a burden on the Vikings who are already having their troubles on the hardwoods It will mean that in three of the four re maining weeks prior to the scheduled completion of con ference play and bracketing for the tournament South Iredell will have to play three games a week the maximum allowed under state rules going to be pretty Sherrill added Of seven makeup games now LOS took quite a man to prevent a gal from being named the United outstanding amateur athlete of 1967 man like shotputter Randy Matson The 22 year old world record holer from Texas won the James Sullivan Award in balloting announced Wednesday by the Amateur Athletic Union but the unusual aspect of the voting was that three women athletes gave the 6 foot 6 inch 260 pound his closest competition Matson received 787 points in balloting by more than 1000 amateur sports experts with tennis player Billie Jean King of Berkeley Calif second teen age swimmer Debbie Meyer of Sacramento Calif third and figure skater
