TIISY BRADSHAW TO TOLR DIXIE: PLAY IJS CATE CITY Greensboro All Dixie i^ agog and with good reason! Tiny Bradshaw and his rhy thm laden caravan of musical dynaniite is headi-d this way for what promi.st's to be one of the most si)eetacular seiies of per sonal triumphs ever registered by a i)ersonality artist and his band. The explosive shouter and of one night staiuls througliou* baton wielder tees off a series tobacco, sugar cane and sirg- huni belt with a long awaited appearance at the Auditorium here. An SltO is assured and has been sinc(; “arly last wi-ek when the local amusement seek ers began clamoring over the moderately priced ducats. The sensational success of the explosive recording of “Well, Oh Well” has the South, as well as the rest of the natiQ^,, on a rock and bounce binge To paraphrase a line from an old song favorite “Every body's hurnniin’ it.” The racy Ix-at of the tune, written by Titiy, with an assist from his cute (biut'hter I'atri- cia, hati caught the nation’s fancy. In addition to Brailshaw’s billiant recording, Lionel Ilainp ton and Bill Darnell have wax ed the infectious tune. \ow the South will enjoy hearing this and other treats, recorded by Show Busi- ^ne.ss,’' such as “Hoodie Green,’' “After You’ve Gone,” etc., per formed in person, in the inimi table manner of “Brad,” as his Pirates Aim For Berth In 1st Div.

Wingbai'k, however, is somethijig of a question uiark. The line is bolstered by siudi ClAA vets as Dave Williams, a sophomore end who seem slat ed for stardom; Josiah Young, senior center; lanky Bob Ayers, already a shining light at guard as a freshman last year; Wal ter Gray, Joe Hicks, and others'. Tackle and center replacements are not in sight at this point. But there’s no (piestion the lint^ will have offensive speed lik« that Hampton showed in swamping Lincoln and Tus- kegee and \ «-|inning a 27-21 thriller from Virginia State last year. Gone are such stars as Scap Ij«“wis at end, Captain Bill Cor bin at tackle, tri{)le-threat John (Khaki) Carroll at tailback, speedy James Bryson at wing- back, ari-Amer. an Luther Good all at guard, D«*wey Wilson, Horace Savage, ind .lohn Par sons in the line.

Boyers received his collegiate pigskin baptism last season and coach Bell has revealed that he is planning to use him on offense and defense. Coach Bell says “he’s big and fast, young and strong, and a very apt student of the game.” Boyers, a team performer, owns a personality which is always a morale booster.

Eagles To Meet Saints In Opener C'oach Herman H. Riddick of North Carolina College will unveil his 1950 football team in Durham on Saturday after noon. September 23, in a con test with St. Augustine’s Col lege of Raleigji. Five thousanil Xorth C’arolina high school stu dents are expected to witness the game in NCC’s first annual " Kids Day. ” High s'hool students will be admitted to the game for tax on ly. Details will be sent high school {)rincipals throughout the State during the coming week. The flagles’ opponents for the first annual KIDS DAY, the hard fighting St. Augus tine’s (’ollege Saints of Kaleigh, are ably coached by one of the the ClAA’s most versatile young coaches, 1). I). .Moore. An alumnus of North Carolina Col lege, Moore is regarded highly highly by his former mentors here. “We’re going to throw everything we have at the Saints, so kids from throughout the State can see what to expect in future Eagle games,” Rid dick .said. Captain Hutlcr “Bluejuice” Taylor, mainstay of the Eagles’ offens* last season until injur ies benched him, is ready and “rariii”’ to go this season. A triple threat artist, Taylor con ditioned this Summer by doing construction work for a local contractor. It’s no secret here that Eagle coaches expect Tay lor to be the locals’ chief con tender for all-conference and all-America honors. Sharing offensive honors with Captain Taylor will lie Welnion Britt, 2(X) pound full back from Bowling Green, Ky.; Alplionso Potter, Bordentown, N. J., junior; Melvin Spincer, Washington, D. C., sophomore; Duke James, Kansas ('ity, Mo., speed artist; and two Pennsyl vanians, Zander Dockery', grad uate of Northeast High School, Philadelphia; and Vanley W^il- liford of Beaver Falls, Pa. Riddick, who brained up on football over the stimmer in a football clinic conducted by “King Carl” Suavely of the Fniversity of North Carolina, will also be depending upon a number of other offensive and defensive stajris whose mettles: have not been f\illy proved. Among the players whose past performances give indication we promise, however, are Ends: Ernest Warlick anl Bill Holl- ing^vorth; Winifred Tillery, sophomore end standout of hist sea.son, also will be on hand. Tackles Robert Mason and Ije.s- ter McNeil and Jumpin’ Joe Williams are problems. Riddick and his associates expect move trouble here than with any oth er position. Guard Francis McGhee and sure to see considerable action as are Willie McFadden, Ijeon- ard Shadding and William Crawley. Centers Ed Darden, Otto Harvey, and Arthur Smith are vying for pivotal posts. Morgan, A&T Seen As 1950 King Pins By CLAY ROSS Although the weatherman has promised no early rsepit from the sizzling 90 degree temperatures whieh we Soutli- ers are enjoying ('f!), despite the fact that baseball with its atomic hot American leagu.- pennant battle is claiming sports fans attention and not withstanding the fact that the Fall baseball classic, the World Series ha.s yet to be j)layed, pro verbial “king football” is just around the proverbial corner. As all the niaji'r conferences announce the beginning train ing for their teams this week, our old national pastime, base ball no le.ss, mu.st move over and let the pig.skin players .share the spotlight with it. Since the advent (tf modern sports writers, it’s just near impo.ssible to have a football season without pre-season pre predictions. So-o, we nniy as well take this opportunity to make a few guesses about what’s going to happen to whom on the turf this Fall, and there by join the circle of the select many who look silly when the the season is over and nobody did what they said they were supposed to do. Teams in the ClAA will !)■.■ gin training Friday for thi 1950 season. Although that renegade from Bellview, .Mr Dickinson—who else? has mud dled up the selections of cham pions by his infernal and-one here,-subtract-a-tenth-there rat ing system we are j)icking the Morgan State College Bears to finish first and the Aggies to run them a close second. Here’s why wc pick Morgan to repeat as champs of the ClAA; Eddie Hurt, George Ro(iks and Eli Tim Howard. ’Nuff sai^’l, well almost any-i way. Just for sake of filling in space, we will name a few other factors which cause us to favor the Bears. The Hears, as a.s afoie-men tioned have the s(>rvices of tie sea.soned performers Geoii>e Rooks, unstoppable fullback; Eli Howard, cagey (juarterback, John Tripplett, hard runner and the astute generalship of veteran mentor Eddie Hurt. In addition, the Bears who were well-stocked on reserves last sea.son, lose only* Whatley, Nelson, Hubbard, Gilbert anil Matthews from tlie front ranks. The Bears have enough power to carry them through in fine form. The A. and T. outfit, headed by the likeable Bill Bell, also a coach of no mean merits, should find them.selves this season, and BILL BELL . . . “A gentleman” . . , mow down most conference op position. The Aggies, operating offensively from the T, have an array of fast, scat backs, plus a big bulky line which can move opponents at a moments notice. The Aggies, whom one writ er has described as being un able to come through in cham pionship form because of the overly-gentlenianlike qualities of its coach Bill Bell, have lost the services of Hornsby Howell, center; Athie Garrison half back ; and Stonewall Jackson, fullback through graduation. But, they have Sherwood Thompson, 2(K) pound guard and Bill “Red” Jackson, T. quarterback returning as mem bers of last season’s first eleven. In addition Jack Gibson, Akron, Ohio speedster, who played more ball than Garrison last year for my money any way, and Boyil Jackson are slat ed to replace (Jarrison and Howell. Also the Aggies havi^ veterans David Kithcart, end; Bill Boyers, 2(K) pound guard; and Bill Blakely, returning at halfback. Other vets on hand to help the Aggies this season inc'ludc ba‘ks: Richard Valen tine, Alfred .Morgan, Jesse Jackson, .Jhnmy P’isher, Hel- burn Meadows; Ends: John Monroe, Ira Snell, and Milton Johnson; and linemen: Walter Hunter, James Nixon, Floyd Jackson, and John Morgan. After we picked Morgan and A. and T., we figured that your guess is .Is good a.s anybody’s. So, wo jnilled straws for the other teams, and here’s what happened ; West Virginia.
