To Resume Rivalry
By J. FBAKOIS FRl^E
Raleigh, — Shaw University
and St. Augustpe’s collie
resume their local rivalry at'Twc
o’clock Saturday, November 22
when ‘’le two teams meeet again
in their Annual Capital City clas
sic of twenty-five years duration
at the Chavis Park Athletic Field.
It will be another game fn which
past performances may be thrown
aside.' St. Augustine’s college has
earned one conference victory this
season without a single loss to a
C. I. A. A. team and shaw has
three conference victories, one tied
game and one loss. But none of
that is important in a contest be
tween two traditional rivals who
seem to reach unexpected heights
when they meet.
The game will be of the utmost
importance in Cl I. A. A. ranking
for both schools. St. Augusttine’s
college victory will assure the
Saints of an undefeated season in
the conference and a high place in
the first division. A victory for
the Shaw Bears would make
Qiire a firstt division berth and
keep them in the running for the
conference championship.
According to report^^ from alum
ni of both schools and beonuse of
th# Thanksgiving holiday week
end, indications ?re that the tra
ditional rivalry will he renewed
before one of the largest crowds
of the season.

Petersburg. Va. — There are
jpt 20 shopping-days left until
Xmas and the Trojans started
their shopping early here totlay for
the C. I. A. A. crown as they out
played and out out-scored a de
termined but weakenel A. and T.
aggregation, 7-0, before Approxi
mately 4,.'500 spectators.
Sparked by the brilliant line
thrusts of fullbacks Willie Hurst
and Herb Harvey'and the passing
magice of ‘Bo’ Robinson, fresh
man half-back, the Trojans piled
up a total of 14 first-downs and
gained 186 yards by passing and
rushing. The A. and T. Aggies
picked up only four first-downs
and 97 yards by passing and rush-
ings.
Ave Perkin^, stelbr fullback. I
for the North Carolilnians paved
the way by a fumble for the Tro
jans to make the only touchdown
of the game. It was in the last
three minutes of the first half
when he fumbled on his own 19^
yard marker where ‘Tank’ Carter,
Trojan tackle, recovered.
At this point, the Jefferson
coached Trojans opened a sizzling
passing attack with ‘Bo’ Robinson
doing the tossing. The first pass
■was short but sweet and quarter
back Rainey accounted for fottr-
yards with a hast to Bulld»>gs
smothering him on the A. and T.
15-yard line. A penalty for time
against the Aggies took the Tro
jans to the id where Ennas Cave,
hal^ack, picked up two yards and
another first-down to put the Tro
jans on the 8-yard line. The net
returns on the next play, after a
clipping penalty against the Xi'f-
ginians, put the ball on A. and T.
15.
On the next play, Robinson fad
ed back to the 25 and tossed an
aerial to ‘Doe’ Hurley on the 14.
Two line plunges by Robinson net
ted 6 yards. A fourth-down pas
out into the flat, Kobiason ta Jen
kins, right-end, aeeonnted for six-
points. Again Robinson faded
^and completed a pass to Cave who
raced over the goal-line for the ei-
tra-point.
Not once during the entire giuue
did the Aggies threaten the Trojan
goal.
In the closing mintites of the
3rd quarter, a 15-yard holding pen
alty robbed the Trojans of a a«e-
ond tonchdewn when fullbMk
Harvey plunged over from the ooe-
yard line. •
