Their routine never changes,
no matter who or where they’re
playing. No one ever gets tired
of watching them and nothing
ever criticizes their crazy style of
basketball.
The Harlem Globetrotters,
who began their operation in
1927, have contributed a great
deal to the sport of basketball.
Not only did the Globetrotters
invent the slam dunk, but they
popularized the concepts of the
point guard, fast break and
small forward.
The team that has boasted
names like Meadowlark Lemon,
Curly Neal, Geese Ausbie and
Marcus Haynes will play tonight
at 7:30 in G. Rollie White Col
iseum. Although the names
have changed, the concept of
bringing enjoyment to fans re
mains the same.
Led by 6-8 James “Twiggy”
Sanders and “Sweet” Lou Dun
bar, the Globetrotters have kept
alive the tradition started and
upheld by the athletes who have
played for the team since its be
ginning. Inman Jackson, one of
the original Globetrotters, ori
ginated the fancy ball-handling
seen in many of today’s basket
ball players.
The Globetrotters, identified
by their “Sweet Georgia Brown”
theme song, have played more
than 15,000 games in 99 coun
tries. The team is split into an
international squad and a na
tional squad, both of which are
currently touring Texas. The in
ternational unit will play here
tonight.
The international team will
also visit Tyler, Nacogdoches,
Waco, Abilene, Lubbock, Mid
land and Amarillo during its
Texas tour.
Dunbar, an all-American gra
duate of the University of Hous
ton, says: “With the Globetrot
ters, the emphasis is on per
formance, not on competition.
I’m more interested in bringing
the crowd to its feet than in scor
ing points.”
The wiry Sanders, who
weighs only 175, says the Globet
rotters’ ultimate goal is to bring
laughs to their audiences.
“When I first started playing
in other countries, I was worried
about how to communicate with
the fans,” Sanders said. “Instead
of us doing the talking, we let the
ball do all the talking, and the
fans love it wherever we play.
We don’t need a dictionary to
understand people laughing.”
Coach Charles “Tex” Harri
son, who played for the Globet
rotters for 20 years, has been
with the team for 27 years as a
player and a coach. In his third
year as the squad’s head coach,
he describes himself as a “veter
an of many a campaign.”
Harrison said the two units
exhibit the same quality play
wherever they go.
“When you see one, you’ve
seen both,” Harrison said. “The
only difference is that people
are more familiar with the per
sonnel of one team (the interna
tional unit) than the other
team.”
Other players who stand out
on the Globetrotter squad are
6-2 Jimmy Blacklock, 6-2 Clyde
Austin and 6-2 Osborne Lock
hart. Harrison said Blacklock
“performs antics with a basket
ball similar to what a monkey
can do with a peanut.”
Harrison said: “The Chiefs
are a great basketball aggrega
tion. They’re coming in with ev
ery intention of beating us.
However, we’re going to make a
gallant effort to beat them.”
Leaders for the Chiefs are 6-
10 Barry Weston, a graduate of
Evansville University, and 6-8
Walter Ned, who played for
Alcorn A&M University.
General admission tickets for
tonight’s game are $5 for stu
dents and $6 for non-students,
while reserved tickets are $7.
James “Twiggy” Sanders, a 6-8, 175-
pounder playing for the 1982 Harlem
Globetrotters, performs tricks with a bas
ketball in a game played during 1981. San
ders and his teammates will visit Texas
A&M tonight when the Globetrotters[
the California Chiefs at 7:30 in G. Rol
White Coliseum. General admissionticl
are $5 for students and $6 for non-stud
while reserved seat tickets are $7.
