in this area art doing a bit of con- j

b coming season
The Association (NCAA) is to be
asked this week if it will give the j
General Artists Corpoiation per
mission to go ahead on a scheme !
to televise a line-up of nine Negro j
college football games.
The Artists group contends that
the televising of Negro games does i
not cut into the gate of NCAA
games. The group also feels that
the potential audience for Negro j
football doesn't patronize non-No- !
pro games to any marked degree, j
Negro games, the GAC notes, arc
played in small stadiums and
would be sell-outs regardless of TV ,
coverage. s
The proponents of race football
TV are expressly concerned with j
what caii be done in making up a ;
package for television which would !
put‘games played by Lincoln
University; Howard University and
Morgan State College on the air.
Ail three of these colleges, it is
pointed out, are members of the
NCAA as well as the leading Ne

WILMINGTON A young wo
man allegedly forgot a vow "to ; <
be true" she made to her lover \ ,
jnd paid jor her forgetfulness with !
her life here this week.
According to reports, Miss Doris !
Scott, young local resident, prom- ! i

that she would not go out with j
any one else. In making the prom- .
ise, Miss Scott reportedly agreed ;
with Newkirk that if either she j
or he broke the pact, the violation |
would be considered grounds for j
shooting.
Early Sunday night, sheriff's

going back to my house to
wait for you, Meet me there,”
When officers arrived at New
kirk’s residence on Gordon Road,
they found him waiting, with
