GRAMBLING, La.-Dr. R.W.
E. Jones is revving up for his
flnsl baseball campaign at

For 50 yeara, he has been the
source of determination and
motivation for the diamond
a port at Grambling, maintain-
ing a high level of performance
with hla exceptional coaching
qualltlea. His coaching tenure
Is believed to be the longest In
college bsseball history.
Dr. Jonea haa tutored the
baseball team aa an avocation
while serving as the school's
president. He la the only coach-
ing president In the United
States. For him, It has alwaya
been a labor of love.
Hla long atay with the G-Men
is laced with pleasant mem-
ories. A quick glance at the
record seems to indicate aome
mystical force at work. Since
World War n, teams coached
by the amicable president have
won 797 while loelng 202. Ha
haa been a marvel of consis-
tency, averaging 25.7 vlctorlea
per aeason during the 31-year
apan. Early records were des-
troyed by fire, but were equally
lmpreealve.
Over the yeara, his presence
alwaya added an intangible qual-
ity.
He learned from the ground
up to live with adverelty, to ap-
preciate the gifted players who
had talent, and to understand
and empathize with the unfor-
tunate ooea who did not. Equal-
ly Important, negative factors
were never tolerated.
Dr. Jonea coacbea with kind-
ness, kid gloves, compassion
and toughness.
While this marks the final
aeason that he will have a view

of the G-Men from a vantage
point as close as the dugout,
he admits that his baseball
adrenalin will continue to flow
with nostalgia.
Dr. Jones Is proud of every
player he ever coached.
He was the Inspirational force
that sent Ezell King, Tommle
Agee, Ralph Garr, Johnnie Je-
ter, Cleon Jones and Matthew
Alexander to the major leagues.
Garr, a atar Chicago White
Sox outfielder, has swatted the
bail consistently throughout his
big league career. He won the
National league batting title In
1974 while playing with the At-
lanta Braves.
Agee and Jones sparkled In
world series and all-star games
for the New York Mets before
retiring. Heavy turnover In In-
field personnel on Oakland's
roster Is providing more op-
portunities for Alexander.
King performed briefly with
Baltimore In the early 60's.
Dr. Jones has won numerous
honors from the American As-
sociation of College Baseball
Coaches, and the National As-
sociation of Intercollegiate Ath-
letics.
He was named NAIA coach-
of-the-year in 1963 when Gram-
bling poeted a 31-1 record. A
year later, the NAIA enshrined
him Into Its baseball Hall of
Fame.
After coaching so long with
distinction, Dr. Jones will leave
with only one regret. Grambling
never won a national baseball
title. The Tigers came close
twice, losing In the NAIA finals
In 1963 to Sam Houston State,
2-1, and dropping a heart-
breaker to West Liberty State,
3-2, a year later.
