GOOFING OFF
| BY "SKINK”
Will A&T College ever beat Florida A&M? Du to for North Caro- I
\ Lina College, The law of averages favored the Aggies in the 37-22 ,
| shellacking that tire Ramblers hung on their heads last week. Seem- j
| ingly neither the Aggies nor the Eagles can muster enough football
* savvy to hold the Gaither-coached crew to even s low score.
What are the odds that favor Jake Gaither in clashes with A&T
| and North Carolina College? Is it recruiting, scheduling, weather con-
I difcions. officiating or coaching?
Certain’./ no schools :‘.a the CIAA can uwoh A&T and North ■
j Carolina College with manpower. It is only Florida A&M and Ten- ;
i nessee State that can reach out and grab choice material like NCC ,
and A&T. So when the two CIAA members meet Tennessee and Flori
| da, it is only then that they face football teams equal in every respect 1
| to each other.
But the heavy bass drum beating that A&T and NCC collect*
year in and year out from these two teams Indicates that a better
"something” exists ois the two out-of-state squalls that does not
1 exist on the squad* of the two state schools—and it’s not uian
i power.
A&T and NCC have good boys on their squads that seldom get a
chance to play in competitive games, that would be varsity stand
outs at some other schools. North Carolina Coliege ano A&T have met
with minor success against Tennessee—very, very minor, and prac
tically no success against Florida, It couldn’t be weather conditions
or officiating, because both teams win when playing in North Caro
line..
It is said that Gaither's schedule is not tough from weekend to
weekend Maybe Gaither says the same thing about the schedule of
A&T and State. Shaw, Smith, fit. Aug,, Union, Winston-Salem and
Lincoln can’t match A&T and NCC manpower and should be con
sidered breathers for the two schools Howard and Hampton don't
lean, too much, to scholarship aid for athletes, therefore, barring
i luck, could not be considered football powers. NCC and A&T must
| go out of the CIAA to build a good nine or ten game schedule that
| would be a representative card to match their top heavy football j
squads. Florida is in a class by itself in the deep South. A&T and j
NCC are in similar positions in the CIAA. But the name Florida A&M i
scares them to death and they are beaten before they hit, the field. j
The string of concha to march in and out of A&T reads
like a miniature Big Ten football roster; Archie Harris, Homer
Harris, Win. “Big” Bell, Mel Groomes, Bert Piggoi, "Big” Jeff and |
“Mat” Brown. Check the records of Big “Andy” Bynum and Char
lie Deberry and compare with the caravan of A&T coaches that
followed and proceeded them (Deberry)—the results will surprise
you. A&T has not had an unbeaten season sine* the Bynum era.
They lost one game on a ten-game schedule under Deberry. They
i haven't attained such phenomenal heights since. Tnc year they won
' the CIAA Championship under Bell they were twice beaten outside
j the league. Ditto tor North Carolina College.
Gaither can’t be a better coach than all this crew including Rid
dick at Durham. Gaither was a second stringer on Knoxville College
football team during his playing days, Learned the fundamentals of
football while coaching his first football team m Henderson. St.
Paul at Lawrenceville was toe. small to house the brilliant mind of the
pioneer of football showmanship in Negro colleges. Under Bell, at
Florida, he worked haid as assistant coach, but Be'! left, for A&T and
Gaither moved up to headman and never looked back—only once—to
beat boss Bell—and establish himself as a head coach,
So Jake did just that and every A&T coach, rir.ee the big change,
i has had to dine at the lower ersd of ihe victory table. Bell was never
served the victory plate. Now Piggot is sitting in the same seat.
Riddick is also fed from the lower end of the table. Gaither just
feels that's when- he belongs. Gaithr’s contact, originality, creative
ability, dogmatic drive, ability to use material, a strong sense of hum
or to quench dissension and a knack for getting the best performance
out of an Individual to equal the show that he has built around him,
influences the Gaither notion that A&T and NCC coaches have not
arrived at the point where they should be credited with a win over
hia Florida A&M Rattlers . . ,
Shaw University is the only CIAA school that has met with
any success over Fla. A&M. In 1947 the Bears, beat the Rattler*,
19-0 , . .
.Never rated the 1958 edition of the Shaw Bears better than ave
rage . . . Too many weak depcrtirmts, extra point;,, pass defense, fair
line Last year’s graduation took a lot with it . ,
Watch out! It looks like Chapel Hill, representing the east, and
Lexington representing the west, will ciash again for tli AA state
football championship. It Will be the third consecutive year that the
two teams have battled for the North .Carolina High School double
A” title.
Rocky Mount barbecued New Bern last week, 48 - 12. Coach
Coates of New Bern is not accustomed to sleeping under scores like
that. Something went wrong somewhere and maybe it was the pre
sence of Rocky Mount that caused the Coatesmcn to cancel some of
their assignments until next year which will be too late to do Raleigh
any good this year. If New Bern could have beaten Rocky Mount "that
one”, Raleigh would have been facing a possible Eastern playoff
with the Bookers . . . But It didn't happen, so Raleigh is out.
Another Raleigh-Rocky Mount game in Chavis Park would have I
packed in half of the Raleigh population. New Bern saved the Raleigh !
populace a. buck a piece—but what a beating it took in doing it.
