Eagles vs Aggias

crown. A.&T., a pre-season fa
vorite to win the conference
championship, now finds North
Carolina College, counted out of
contention by pre-season experts,
now atop the loop standinirs with
a 5-0-0 record- The Aggies are
currently in second place with a
5-0-0 conference record.
A win for either team will
cinch the conference champion
ship and a jxjssible bid to the
Orange Blossom Classic in Mi
ami, Florida.
This is the 28th meeting of the
two schools, beginning in 1928
when the Aggies were victors
oyer the Eagles 20-0. The Aggi^
dominated the series up imtil
1941 when the Eagles eeked out
a 9-6 victory over the Aggies.
From 1941 until 1949 the
Eagles were kingpins of the
series, beating the Aggies four
times and tying them twice (‘46
and ‘48). In 1945, Herman Rid
dick’s first year at the Eagles’
helm, and Bill Bell’s first as
Aggie coach, NCC bounced the
Aggies 47-0.
The Aggies, with their power
house of the Jackson Boys,
“Stonewall” and “Reds”, domi
nated the series from ‘49 up un
til 1953 when NCC with its Matt
Boone, A1 Montgomery, Amos
Thornton, and Jerry Evans com
bination in power, triumphed
over the gridders from Greens
boro by a score of 15-6 for their
first victory in four years over
Bill Bell’s Aggies, to bring the
school first CIAA football cham
pionship.
North Carolina College won
again in ‘54 with a tremendous
veteran ballclub by the coimt of
7-6 as it swept to its second
straight conference grid crown
and recognition as the mythical
national champions among Ne
gro colleges. In ‘55 the intra
state rivalry ended in a, 7-7
deadlock, but Eagles rebounded
to topple the Aggies 20-0 in 1956
going on to win their third con
ference championship in four
years.
However, in ‘57 the Aggies
caught a morale-torn Eagle
squad on the decline and beat
them 21-0.
NCC has been the great sur
prise of the CIAA this season.
After falling to defeat at the
hands of Morris Brown in At
lanta, the Eagles began their re^
surgence behind the strong force
of a lithe 165 pound quarter
back, properly called Ike “The
Whip” Gatling from Newport
News, Va.
Gatling, relegated to spot duty
at the opening of the season,
started the Eagles on their come
back trail when he almost
singled-handedly beat Allen
University in the Eagles’ second
grid game of the season. Sinc6
then, the mere presence of the
“Tidewater Beanpole” in the
game has put new life into the
Eagle gridders and fear in the
hearts of the opponents.
Gatling, along with Lloyd
Eason, captain and quarterback
from Newport News, Va.;
“Buck” Forbes, all-American
candidate at guard from Norfolk,
Va.; Clifton “Satellite” Jackson,
all-american halfback candidate
from Hampton, Va., now back in
harness; George Wallace, junior
end and team’s leading pass!
catcher from Williamsburg, Va.;
Paul Winslow, rugged defensive
end from Weeksville, N. C.; and
Harold “Moose” Joyner, power-
driving halfback from William-
ston, N. C., have been instru
mental forces in the eagles’ re
bound, winning their last six
games in a row.
Bert Piggot, in his second sea
son as Aggie head mentor since
succeeding Bell as head coach,
has the equally adept Howard
Smith to guide the fortunes of
his gridders at the signal-calling
spot. Smith, one of the leading
backs in total offense in the
CIAA, is small in stature, but
has a lot of guts in running the
Aggies’ offense. He is a fine
passer and an excellent field
general. Backing him up in the
Aggies’ starting backfield are
likes of Ed Nesbit, Charles
DeBose and Eddie Godbolt.
The “Turkey Day” affair
should bring forth the clash of
two top-notch lines when thel
Aggies and the Eagles bump
heads. NCC’s line led by Forbes,
who looks better than ever in his
bid for all-American honors, has
blossomed into one of the best irt
the school’s history with Bobby
Johnson at guard along with
Forbes; Jim Brewington and
Nick Geralds alternating at
tackle with Charles “Bobo” Hin
ton, Bob McAdam, and Frank
Gardner, and Jim Bryant and
Ernest Barnes sharing the spot
light at the pivot spot.
The Aggies line which figures
to outweigh the Eagles forward
wall, is led by Lorenzo Stand-
ford, 240 pound tackle, and Har
vey Stewart, 190 pound guard.
Other standouts in the Aggies
granite wall are Melvin Richard
son, 296 pound tackle, and Bur-
nie McQueen, 6-3, 205 pound
end.

Informing Flora that a new
advisor for the yearbook is being
appointed for this year, Dudley’s
letter of November 12 stated:
“...if there are any dealings with
a company for the photography)
of the book or with a company
for the printing of the book it
must be by contract. And, any
business done by the Eagle year
book during this year such as
the photography and printing, in
the form of contract, must have
the approval of the Student
Government and of the Adminis
tration by signature of a repre
sentative of each of these organi
zations. We have no knowledge
of any contract existing between
the Eagle and any other agency.
If there is please let us know
immediately.”
In her reply. Flora wrote: “I
have not seen fit to secure signa
tures from representatives of the
Student Government and staff
on yearbook contracts since any
tontract made would bind only
the yearbook staff.”
Said Flora, when informed of
acceptance of her resignation: “I
know there are some who will
say that my resignation was a
selfish move. However, I felt
that several barriers would have
hindered me from successfully
editing the yearbook. I think
that I am justified to say that my
resignation was in the interest
of a yearbook production under
successful editorship.”
When Dudley informed the
Echo of Flora’s resignation and
of his acceptance of it, he said:
“I am sorry that Flora decided
to resign, for I feel that she could
have done a good job, possibly
the best job, as editor of the
yearbook. I shall decide who
shall fill her position after a
meeting with the Executive
Committee.”

my dear Watson! From the happy look
on your physiog, from the cheerful lift
you seem to be enjoying, I deduce
you are imbibing Coca-Cola. No mystery
about why Coke is the world’s favorite
. . . such taste, such sparkle! Yes, my
favorite case is always a case of Coke!

For real, down-to-eartfc
smoking enjoyment, there’s
nothing else like Camel. No
other cigarette brings yo«
the rich flavor and easy
going mildness of Camel’s
costly blend. More people
smoke Camels than any
other cigarette of any kind.
Today as always, the beat
tobacco makes the best
smoke.
