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

stages of the second quarter to

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. F. of L. aeronautical workers
union.
Durham, Oct. 18—The N. C,
College Eagles ran roughshod
over a weak St. Paul team here
last Satnrdiiy and chalked up a
score Qf 66 to 0.
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.
