So with the World Series teams still unknown and baseball is about to reach its highest peak for the season, fans are faced with a double problem. Besides knowing that the professional season is well un derway with the exhibition titles, high gridders in this area are aware of the fact that foot ball practice Is drawing nigh. Monday, August 16, will be D- Day for the high school pig skiners. High schools in North Carolina usually start practice on August IS but since this date falls on Sunday, drills will begin the first thing Monday morning. Head coaches Russell Blunt and Harry Edmonds are pre paring to send their chargers through rough preseasons in preparation for the big openers in September. Both coaches have had squad meetings with their boys to discusss physical examinations but organized practice will start Monday. Both coaches will be faced with the same problems as the pi "skin sport drills start, as neither one has an experienced quarterback returning.

Speaking of football, the punt returning of Walter Roberts and Leroy Kelly and the run ning of Jimmy Brown -were the deciding factors in the All-Star game last Friday. Playing un der intermit rain, the Cleveland Browns were almost forced to use their explosive ground at tack against the All-Stars. Un able to gain much through the airways, the Browns had to stick with their running game. Still the All-Stars held their own but the difference in the contest wps the punt returning of Cleveland's speed merchants. Roberts and Kelly. A 45-yard return by Roberts and a 37-yard scamper by Kelly set up the Browns lone two touchdowns from scrimmage HATS OFF TO SPONSORS Some type of encouragement should be passed along to com pany and firms in this area who have devoted their time and money toward making teams in our local Softball leagues look uniformal.

The cost of these uniforms are great but if the teams are willing to play top flight softball, then the sponsor will never regret his investment. jfe ROYSTCR Former FAMU QB is Named Coach at Shaw RALEIGH—Lee Alton Roys ter, a former Pittsburgh Cour ier All-American, was named head football coach at Shaw University recently.
