Aggies Face 1954 Football
Season With Reduced Squad
GREENSBORO
When the A&T Aggies take
the field for foptball training on
September 1, Bill Bell, head
c6ach, wUl have fewer prospects
than at anytime during his nine
year stint at thel college.
Only forty men are expected
and just five of these are fresh-
-men. The reduction in squad
depth is about one-third of the
usual early season turnout for
the Aggies. Heretofore, about 60
hopeful have appeared for the
first day workouts.
Economy is the first big con
sideration in the cntback, but
the demise of the two-platoon
system helpea, materially, in
artivlng at the decision. It is
not all (loom at the Agfle
camp for the current season.
The reduction will have little,
if any effects on the perform
ance of the team for the cur
rent year.
In fact, there is some think
ing that it might give out some
advantages. With fewer men to
train, the services of the coach
ing staff will be concentrated
and the cutback will permit
higher selectivity. Before the
end of the season, every man on
the squad will have seen some
actual game experience, which
helps the squad for the next sea
son.
“They understand,” said Bell,
“that there will be no let-np
until the end of the veason on
Thanksgiving Day.”

COUNT BUIE HITS BLUE
NOTE IN HAPPY HOME
NEW YORK
The Coimt Basies aired their
troubles in public this week-end
when Mrs. Catherine Basie had
her noted husband locked up in
Ridgewood Felony Court for dis
orderly conduct.
It all started, said Catherine,
when she found a letter writ
ten to her husband by a girl
singer. He started throwing
things at her, she had him put
out of their sumptuous Long
Island home bnt he insisted oa
moving back in.
The Coimt only stayed over
night in jail, when Catherine
said she would withdraw her
complaint. Magistrate Charles A.
Murphy freed the Count and the
Basies walked out of court to
gether. Catherine says there's
no happy ending here, though.
For she’s going to sue the pian-
ist-oonductor for a divorce and
thereby end their 13 year old
marriage.

Emancipation Day Pilgrimage
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Thousands of Negro citizens
from tlu’oughout the United
States are expected to gather in
the Nation’s Capital next month
for a religious ceremony ob
serving the progress of the Ne
gro since his emancipation from
slavery.
The Lincoln Thanksgiving
Pilgrimage, as the ceremony will
be Dialled, is being sponsored by
the National Fraternal Council
the major Negro denomina
tions tliroughout the country.
The ceremony is scheduled for
September 22nd, the 92nd an
niversary of the signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation, and
it will be held at the Lincoln
Memorial.
A National Citizens’ Commit
tee of 100 business, civic, and
religious leaders is directing the
movement. On the local level
State Citizens’ Committees have
been organizaed in many parts
of the coimtry. To date, com
mittees have been set up in 32
states and the District of Colum
bia.
The idea of the Pilgrimage
was conceived by the Rev. Wil
liam H. Jernagin, 84-year old
Washington clergyman, follpw-
ing the Supreme Court decision
banning segregation in public
schools. Dr. Jemagin, who is
minister of Mt. Carmel Baptist
Church, is president of the Na
tional Baptist Sunday School and
Baptist Training Union Con
gress, as well as an official of
the Fratenal Council. Dr. Jern
agin will serve as chairman of
the Pilgrimage.
Four other Council officers
have been named to assist Dr.
Jernagin. They are Bishops Sher
man L. Green of Atlanta; Wil
liam -J. Walls of Chicago, and
Arthur J. Womack of Indiana
polis; and Rev. Smallwood Wil
liams of Washington.
Bishop Edgar A. Love of
Baltimore, national president of
thp Council, will direct the Pil-
tirimage Day program.
At present Pilgrimage Day
plans call for a motorcade of
of church and civi officials from
the Capitol to the Memorial,
prayers by prominent religious
leaders, and addresses by high
Government officials. Music for
the program will be furnished by
an inter-denominational chorus
of 2,000 voices.
Bishop S. Gill Spottswood of
Washington, who heads the Pil-
grimagl transportation commit-
ee, estimates that a crowd in ex
cess of 50,000 will turn out for
the event. Plans are being made
to bring special trains and busses
into Washington from as far
away as Miami, New Orleans,
and Chicago.
Among the national leaders
suporting the Pilgrimage move
ment are Government Officials
Louis B. Toomer, Registrar of
the Treasury; Congressman Wil
liam L. Dawson of Illinois; Mrs.
Jane M. Spaulding of the War
Claims Commission; John B.
Duncan, Recorder of Deeds for
the District of Columbia; Victor
R. Daly of the Department of
Labor; and John R. Ray of the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency.
