EXPRESS the sports scene By LARRY G. STEEUE EXPRESS SPORTS EDITOR SPORTS PROBLEMS NOT ALL BLACK AND WHITE The Express, Lock Haven, April 15, 1972-Page 7 Athletics in the United States, at all levels, are coming under careful scrutiny these days. Aside from the baseball strike, we've read three different stories of the sports "problem" from as many sources. The Harrisburg Patriot carried an article on black athletes in Pennsylvania, quoting Chester basketball coach Juan Baughn, the lone member of his race on the staff of the PIAA cage clinic. "It sure wasn't the greatest feeling in the world for me to be the only black here for three days," Baughn said.

"I think we have so few black coaches and officials because they feel they don't belong. I know I had a rough time gaining acceptance," revealed the coach of the Class A runner-up team. Concerning his talk at the clinic, Baughn noted, "There are a lot of myths about black athletes. I tried to clear up some of them. "Many coaches think the black athlete is hard to control, hard to discipline.

I think kids, no matter what color they are, really want discipline. But they'll only accept it from people they respect. "Blacks aren't all born with great athletic talent' Many of them are good because they're on the playground from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. all summer.

because they don't have a home to go to or don't like the home they have. "White coaches think the black kids won't play for them unless they become their friends. The kids don't want friendship; they want someone who is honest and fair; someone they can respect." 'Cof tennis team whips Huntingdon Baughn also pointed out that, "Many coaches think black kids aren't capable of making decisions. I played for coaches who spoon fed us everything. I think kids want responsibility.

That's teaching them to be men." Of the letters he receives, Baughn stated, "Sometimes you've got to bite your tongue to stay in this business. Now the letter writers just call me dumb. They're leaving off the nigger." In reporting that he has "rap sessions" with his kids to solve his problems, Baughn added, "Too many coaches are afraid to talk to their kids. I mean talk about the really important things. If there is racism or prejudice, you've got to talk about it.

If there are disciplinary problems, you've got to bring them out in the open. "Coaches are going to have to take more of an interest in their kids," he said. "Kids take on the personality of their coach. I don't smoke. How could I stand in front of therm with a cigarette and tell them not to smoke? "We try to run a first class program from the last manager to the best player.

I'll give an inch if I think I can get six back for my kids." The moral to be learned from Baughn's remarks is that they also apply to white athletes.

Nossen has been indicted for perjury by the Columbia County Grand Jury for written accusations concerning a faculty member who had been dismissed.

At Penn State, between 600 and 700 students marched on Wednesday to protest the denial of tenure to assistant professor of labor studies Wells Keddie. PSU President John W. Oswald had been asked to reverse the decision, but informed Keddie by letter that he was satisfied with the evaluation process and that his involvement in the case was ended. The Students for Keddie will ask the State Secretary of Education, John C. Pittenger, to intercede.

Keddie's case involved a personal conviction. WINGATE J. Gawen Stoker, a native of Lloyddell. currently teaching and coaching at Wellington. Ohio, has been named head football coach at Bald Eagle Area High School.

The nation's top weekly sports magazine didn't bother. SI didn't snub the Chinese table tennis team's hatch in Canada, nor will it overlook Bobby Fischer's world championship chess match with the Russian. Bob Gordon, of Clearfield High and Clarion State, won the 191-pound title at the Western Pennsylvania Federation Freestyle Championships held at Canevin High in Pittsburgh last weekend.

He pinned all four of his opponents in the junior division, open to wrestlers who haven't reached their 19th birthday. Other winners were PIAA champions Allan Housner of Mt. Lebanon and Chuck Coryea of Reynolds. Jim and Joe Carr of Erie East shared the Outstanding Wrestler award. Besides Jersey Shore's Ben Shipman, other winners at the Corning, N.Y.
