The name of Syht'ster “Swifty’’ Polk of Miirylaiul State Collepe leads all others. Polk outscored the nation's best with 129 points in eipht paints ninninp 19 touohdowns and 15 extra j>oints. Ilis total as an individual is better than at least 75 percent of tho entire team marks of all colleges. Polk is from Mary land State (’ollege, formerly Princess Ann Collepe of Prince Anne, Maryland, a small school student popula tion ajid physical outlay, but already a piant in athletic stature. With an enerpetic administration headed by President Williams and an excellent coaehinp staff to match, the rapid striding Maryland State has not lost a game in its last 17 outings and has been in the red column only three or four times in the past thirty or more games. A younp coach named Coffey, now assistant coach at Ten nessee State began this phenominal record and Vernon “Skip” McCain has continued it. McCain, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, formerly assisted Henry Kean at Tennessee State. lie was the main brain in the institution o^ tlie “T” formation at the Nash ville school. “Skip” is highly talented and respected as a coach, he is industrious, likeable and well-known by high school coaches and is a strategist of the first order. Athletic personnel, Doth coaching staff and playing, has been attracted to the college through him and through the inten>sting program in vocational work as well as the State’s appropriations for teachin" duties. The Marj-land Ked liaiders’ athletic success then, has been largely attributable to McCain and his staff and to the talented athletes crossing over to the peninsula and to the whole-hearted support or the administration. Why can’t Maryland State get into the CIAA? This question is a.sked by hundreds wherever and whenever the Marylanders show in eompetition. There is one and only one reason, all other ■speculations to the contrary, the CIAA membership is limited to sixteen teams. ^laryland State can enter only when one of the present members drops out or is dropped out. There is little like lihood of either in sight. Maryland State is definitely eligible otherwise to enter. Her athletes are in good standing, her ad herence to NCAA regulations is above question, her sports facilities are acceptable, the willingness to abide by the CIAA rules and regulations Im been stated in her perennial request for admission to membership, her desirability as a potential nuMnber is even higher than that of a number of the actual meml>ers. But, until there is an opening, the r,i ords by individuals and teams will have as an independent team. An unenviable necessity. J}(> that i.s it may, it cannot be derived that very soon (anti periia])s now; ujiy team wishing to have a legitimate claim on National honor on the gridiron or on the hanhvool courts must reckon with the c»mpetition and records of Maryland State College's repre.sent- atives. — McLENDON.

Thompson, lovable, prominent and handsome Lynchburg denti.st and Lucian McCLELLAN MATTHEWS, punting specialist, can run also. The Hampton, Virginia lad who equalled (..’harlie “(’boo Choo’ Justice’s punting average of 44 yards per game for half the sea son la.st year, is exceptionally dangerous aii a runner from punt formation. Eagle fans will undoubtedly see much more of the five-feet, ten, 175 pound right halfback this seaison. WELMUN BRITT, who runs equally well from his fullback slot in the single wing and the Riddick ‘Svinged T,” hails from Bowling Green, Ky. When the six-feet, 197 pound Britt runs, his legs move like pistons, mak ing him hard to stop. Number two of the famed N. C’. C. one- two punch, Welmun will liang up his togs at end of this season for the remainder of his col legiate davs. JOSEPH BATTLE, IGO poinid, sophomore quarterback from Rocky Mount, handles the team from the T formation. A slick ball handler and a deadly passer, Battle is no slouch as a runner. Joe, w’ho stands five- feet, eleve7i inches in his stock ings, is a cunninp strategist nnd a steadying infitu'nce on the team. OTTO FULLER, a wil-'O- the-wisp scat back from Saint Petersburg, Fla., is a miphty lanp(‘i-ous rttnnt'r once he gets ]in the enemy ^ Ibackfield. Ti])- [>ing the scales at 105 pounds jand standing at rive - feet, trn, Otto is begin ning his senior year with the North Carolina Collepe Eaples. ARTHUR “SQUIRREL” McGUIRE is another break away runner of the first order. Fast and elusive, McGuire has enough hoft to give him plenty of drive. 185 pounds, five-feet ten, “Herb” (fill-iu for “Squir rel” on occasions , is also a good pass receiver. He hails from Raleigh. DUKE JAMES, 185 pounds, five-feet, eleven right halfback from Kansas City, Mo., has no peer on the Eagle scpiad at run ning off-tackle plays. James, Avho just begins his sophomore season this year, shows promise of developing into one of the best running' backs in the con ference. He’ll certainly be a man to be watched this season. ALPHONSO POTTER, 185 pound, five-feet ten fullback from Oyster Bay, N. Y., knows his way around on the football [field. A good blocker and an excellent runner who literally explodes through the line on quick openers, he will end his junior year this season. JAMES ROBINSON, 160 pound, five-foot, ten sophomore product of Charlotte’s Second Ward high school, plays at the quarterback slot. A good defend- BUTLER “BLUEJUlfcE” TAYLOR, 180 pound left half back from Newport News, Va., is the Eagles’ 1950 captain. A real triple threat, this five, eleven gridder accounted for more than half of the total yardage gained by the Eagles last season, although half of the season from the bench, where he was side lined becaused of an injured spine, Taylor, who can throw 'em hard, soft, long and short; runs like a frightened antelope; and punts with the best of them, should have a great season with the Eagles this year. Destined to cop all conference honors this sea son, Taylor is one of the best triple threat backs Riddick has coached in many a moon. er, he is also a capable blocker. Robinson shows a promise as a “brain truster” and should be heard from quite often this sea son. EARNEST “HAND S” WARLICK, giant end, is one of the best pass receivers in the conference. The rugged 225 pound, six-tliree flankman, is also a good, defender. Eagle fans remember Warlick as being on the receiving end of several Butler Taylor passes last sea son. The Hickory junior is ex pected to give a repeat perform ance in the same role this sea son. WILLIAM HOLLINGS WORTH, a pillar of strength on defense, is no slouch himself as a pass receiver. The 190 pound, six feet junior from Goldsboro, was probably among the best defensive ends in the conference last season. His play in thei Capital Classic against West Markham, east coast playboy taking in the sights, and a barmate name Cheatham who wants us to remember him to “Squash” Robinson at Shaw Lynchburg’s pretty Danville school teach er, Ruth Langhom, (pronounced Lan-om they say) very much satisfied and shows it Donald Leake, Ed. Troy Weaver, Skull Plerring and company crowded into the “Leake Limousine” and motored up to the Classic in six hours flat. Fast time this jet propulsion from the campus. ATTORNEY “CHOKE” COLSTON LEWIS OF LEWIS AND SMITH was all over the place “meeting and greeting” all over the place. His name has been linked romantically for some time with a lady doctor of philosophy Ernest 'Worlick who caught two North Carolina College passes but ruled out of the end zone, looking for food or “just any old fruit stand” after the game. RUMORS FLYING THAT EDITOR L. E. AUSTIN AND PREXY ALFONSO ELDER have kissed and made up When Duke held its inauguration for Dr. H. Eden, colored and white prexies from everywhere marched and sat on the rostrum side-by- side, but what happened to them at the University of North Carolina inauguration when the spotlight on the State Coliseum?? The ball Larry Doby hit at the Durham Athletic Park last Wed nesday nite must have gone to Mars, as it is reported it was never found Dr. C. C. Spaulding, the public relations man Metro politan would like to have, representing North Carolina during half-time Classic Ceremonies ... Cousin Prank ... Logan Building Durham Virginia State caught the at tention of several veteran sports writers and observers. “Holly,” who does most of the kicking- off for the Engles, will ]irob- ably develop into one of the best defensive flankmen in the country. LESTER McNEIL, five-feet, eleven, 190 pound tackle from Wilson, is an agpres.sive, spir ited player. Seldom tricked by the opposition on razzle-dazzLi plays, McNeil is being counted on as one of the mainstays in tin* Eagle forward wall. A sopho more, McNeil will get an ample chance to prove his mettle this fteason. ROBERT MASON, aix-feet, one, 196 pound tackle hailing from Gastonia, is another lad who, although used sparingly last season, is wise to the ways of playing tackle. A good block er and a sure tackier. Mason looms as one of the best tackles in the CIAA. The sophomore is rugged, fast and crafty. FRANCES McGEE, 200 pound six feet guard from Alex andria, Va,, was an important fixture in the NCC,line last sea son. The vicious blocking jun ior is fast on his feet and is a capable defensive lineman. The work of men up front like Mc Gee will write much of the re cord of the 1950 Eagle gridiron squad. LEONARD SHADDING, 190 pound guard, is a good blocker and cagey lineman. The five- feet eleven sophomore from Goldsboro is a peerless run ning guard. EDWARD DARDEN, New port *News, Va. lad, is depend able center. Darden is an ex cellent line-backer and very capable pass defender. 195 pounds, five-feet, eleven, Dar den’s pass interceptions were many and tinielj' last season. WINIFRED TILLERY AND MAURICE McNEIL, ends, will prove capable substitutes for Warlick and Hollingsworth. Tillery, 175 poinuls, five-feet eleven sophomor(' from More- head City, is a good pass re ceiver. McNeil, 175 pounds tive- foot, eleven, has a lot of hustle and hails from Sniitbfield. JOE WILLIAMS AND WIL LIAM CRAWLEY, tackles, were switched from the guard slots to the tackle posts this sea son as a move to strengthen a weak spot at the tackle slot. Both seasoned campaigners, they represent good reserve ma terial. Williams weighs in at 230 pounds, stands five-feet, ten and hails from Wilson. He’s a sophomore. Crawley tips the scales at 205 pounds, stands six feet. A junior, he is an Eagle via Montclair, N. J. ROBERT GRANT AND WILLIE McFADDEN, hefty guards, will See plenty of action this season. “Moody” Grant, it is rumored (gool humored) was used as a “gineau pig” during his freshman days. No body wants to experiment with the 195 pound senior now. Me- FOOTBALL THE BIG GAME OF THE SEASON GALA HOMECOMING A. AND T. "Aggies" MORGAN STATE "Bears" Greensboro Stadium SAT., OCT. 28 - 2:30 P.

RICHMOND, VA. — Last Friday the 13th was truly a ‘‘Black Friday” for Virginia State coach. Sal Hail and his Trojans. Playing against the North Carolina College Eagles in the second Old Dominion Classic, the Trojajis were handed theii first set back of the current, gridiron campaign as the Eagles pushed to a weil-deserved 7-0 victory in Richmond’s City Stadium. Reserve NCC. end Rudolpli Wilson, Hampton, Va. soph., who blocked two of halfback Charles Walker’s punts during the game, set up the lone touch down of the game as he blocked a Walker punt midway the third quarter on the Trojan 10 yard line. Soph, guard Ijeonard Shadding, Goldsboro, N. C., pounced on the oval as it bound ed across the double stripe. Another Hampton, Va. Eagle McClellan Matthews, added to the Virginians’ dismay as he booted the extra point, giving the Eagles their game-winning points. Perhaps it was poetic justice that two North Carolina College, linemen figured in the scoring, for the Eagle forward wall, per haps the real difference in the two elevens, p.ayei .inspired ball, outchargiug the heavier Trojan line or •’Imost every play, blocking two Trojan punts, and si^Pt/in;' the vaunt ed Virginians’ offense cold. AGGIES FTOP BEARS 55-0 RALEIGH ^ A & T Col lege’s Aggies moved an impor tant step nearer the 1950 CIAA championship by thoronghly drubbing a gallant but out-man ned Shaw University eleven, 55 to 0, here at Chavis Park la.st Saturday.
