Delaware Stat^ College, which
has catapulted into a football
powerhouse among the smalt
colleges, now finds itself facing
a thorough rebuilding job for
the 1958 season. Over the past
four years, DSC has amassed an
amazing record of 27 victories,
3 defeats, 1 tie, and a co-cham
pionship of the CIAA in 1956.
Thirteen players who helped
ring up thie- gteat record during
their collegiate careers l>owed
out last season, and others have
been lost' because of academic
•reasons. Those who bowed out
were: Guard John Biggins,

An eight-game schedule in
cluding a return meeting with
Maryland State has l>een an
nounced for the 1958 Morgan
State College football Bears.
Coach Eddie Hurt, plotting
now for the opening of his thir
tieth year as Bear mentor, dis
closed that Morgan will begin
the season Octot>er 4 against the
highly rated North Carolina Col
lege Eagles of Durham, N. C.
The game will be played in Mor
gan’s Hughes aladium.
The Maryland State-Morgant
Classic, inaugurated last season,
will be played this year on Oct.
11 at Princess Anne, home nest
of the Hawks.
The intra-state rivals fought
to a 7-7 deadlock in the game’s
debut last season in Baltimore’s
Memorial Stadium to claim half
share each on the WEBB Classic
Trophy, donated by Radio Sta
tion WEBB of Baltimore. Each
team held the trophy for six
months of this year.
Seven of the games on the
Morgan schedule are conference
tilts, with the lone exception the
Bear-West Virginia State Col
lege clash, set for Institute, W
Va. October 25.

predominantly Negro college to

Don Paul: “He’s V rugged

alities. Give him a half veason
of pro play, and he’ll
outstanding player. I’d say he’s
hardly half a season away from
a top flight player. Oi- oouiae,
there are things he still has to
learn, but he has the liasic skills
and plenty of football know
how.” >Pe»e Pihos: “A real ball
player, plenty of stamina, speed,
and utterly without fear. He's
well liked by his teanunates and
is an excellent team player.”
Riddick attended the All Star
game with Baker’s father, John,
; Sr., a Raleigh policeman.
Also attending the game from
NCC were James A. Stevens,
line coach at NCC; L. T. Walker,
track coach, and Charles A. Ray,
sports publicist.
Several of Baker’s Raleigh
friends alsa saw the game: Cecil
H. Flagg, Peter H. Williams,
John Jr's high school coa^; and
V. C. Hamlin, Jr.
After the all Star classic, John
Jr., boarded a plane for L>os
Angeles where he was scheduled
to make his debut Saturday
night with the Los Angeles
Rams.
A Chieago sportswriter told
Rfddick' the Chicago Cardinals
had lieen trying to persuade the
Rams to trade Baker to them.
However, the writer said, after
Ram scouts saw Baker in action
in All Star practice, they turned
deaf ears to trade talk on Baker.
Official line-ups listed Baker
as a tackle, >ut Uddick deacrll>-
ed his function as that of a
“middle guard.” “If you noticed,
Riddick said,” it was Baker's vi
cious charging that highlighted
the play of the center of the all
Stars’ defcnsive line. He was a
“big factor in nullifying Bobby
Layne*X passing efforts. Later in
the gasne. Baker and hia matea
decommissioned Tobin Rote and
the Lions’ center, Charley Ane.”
Riddick said he was proud ol
' Baker's part as a member of tha
I goal line defensive unit. “You
’ no 'doubt saw that the All Stars
I held the Lions on the fi>« yard
line with a first and ten and
Mkded up by taking the ball tnm
