SPORTS The A. & T. Aggies invade the cami^of the West Virginia State Yellow jackets this Sat. in a game which promises to be one of the most closely fought on the CIAA menu. The Yellow jackets will seek to add another victory to their 1941 record, and the Aggies will try to make a re peat of last season’s victory over the 'Jackets. Although the Aggies have ex hibited a strong offensive threati they have failed, so far, to use the correct pigskin strategy to reach the pay dirt when in a scoring position. However, Sat. may prove the perfect day for the Aggie.s, and that much vaunted offensive may carry the necessary follow-through power. West Virginia State won an easy 14-6 victory over the Lin coln Loins and will have plenty to offer the invaders in the forth coming squabble; but the Aggies who lost a winning battle to the Pirates, will be strengthened by a change in individual assign ments and will, more than likely avoid things which kept them from scoring in the Pirate brawl.

The Hornets were on the of- fj^nsive and deep within scoring territory during the artire sec ond period but could not con vert their opportunities into a matching touchdown. Taking ad vantage of the apparent Hornet confusion as*a result of the rap idity of substitutions, the Drag ons used two passes in the last stages of the second quarter to gain 70 yards and a second touchdown.

For Lane, it was the potent backfield work of Battle, Ross and Jackson that kept the Hor nets contimially uhder fctrain be cause of the support given in the Dragon forward wall by Homes, Jones, Estes and Thomas. For the Hornets, it was a fu tile afternoon in which a num ber of new men had their fit«t big chance.

From left to right they are: Blount, back; Perry, linesman; Lawrence, linesman; Brewer, lines* man; Robinson, linesman and Plummer, back. officially and publicly rebuke O’Reilly and Fitzpatrick, presi dent of the Chicago Federation of Labor. O^Reilly is reported as having said to a committee from the Chicago N.* A. A. C. P, branch: “I consider the Negro an evil rather than an asset to organized labor. I don’t believe all of this discrimination against Negroes Negro; if it does, it is the Neg ro’s fault and also his fight.” O’Reilly is also reported as having usedl profanity freely to the committee, which contained women, and t^ have used the word “nigger” instead of Neg ro. The N. A. A. C. P, letter lab eled O’Reilly “ignorant as well as insulting,” and declared that dij^crimi^tion aganst Negroes by A. F. of L. unions w'as well- known throughout the labor movement, had been discussed at numerous A. F. L. conventions, ^eluding the convention just closed in Seattle, Wash., and had been the subject of numerous official statements and letters by President Green’s official office. ^ • “In the light of this history said the N. A. A. C. P, letter, “it is ridiculous for Regional Director O’Reilly to say that he! does not beliete discrimination exists against Negroes in the A. F. ofL.” The N. A. A. C. P, also assert ed that there had been “almost daily” discrimination against Negro workers by A, F. of L. unions since the launching of the national defense- program. Par ticular stress was laid upon the fact that the A. F. of L. conven tion, which closed in Seattle Oct. 16, met under the shadow of the Boeing aircraft plant 'where Negroes have been reapeatly ex* eluded from emp^pyment, not by th Boeing company, but by the A.

Early jn the first quarter the Eagles pushed over a touchdown and continued their scoring ram page throughout the game. The half ended 46 to 0. with practi- eaJly every man on the Eagles squad getting an opportnnity to contribute his bit to what re sembled a track meet rpther than a football- game. In an _ attempt to, hold the scoring down to a reasonable figure Coaclf Burghardt of the Eagles sent in his second team in the seconi quarter, but this department, taking the cue from their seniors, continued to romp at will, pilling up touchdown after touchdown. In the second half the. Eagles third string team was sent in and ordered to use only straight, plays with forward pa.sscs barred. Even with this arrangement the locals scored l^ee ij^i^^owns, just to show they wouldnot be ontdone. It was merchants day for the local squad, and a sizeable crowd was in attendant but the fans got very little for their money as the inexperienced St. Patd team offered vfery little competition.
