NORTH CAKOUmCOlUGEGRIDIUM FACES
SEASON WITH FEAST OF BACKS, FAMINE IN LINE
Eighteen lettermen are listed
among the 40 players reported to
Coach Herman H. Riddick for
football practice at North Caro
lina College on September 1.
Seventeen men were lost last
year for yarlous reasons.
Ten of the returning lettermen
are backs, a situation that causes
Riddick to be what he calls “deep
in the dumps about my line pros
pects.”
However, Riddick and his
aides say they are confident of
starting a formidable forward
wall against Florida A. and U.
in the Eagles’ opener in Durhan>
on Saturday night, Sept. 22.
There are three big reasons
for Riddick's gloomy outlook in
line play. The trio graduated last
year in the persons of Matthew

NCC championship clubs of 1953
and 1954; and the All-CIAA Jack
Aiken, the Cluirlotte guard
standout. Some key pros]>ect8
from 1955 are ineligible today.
Two returning GI’s promise to
strengthen the Eagles line. Both
Durham boys, the ex-service
stars are Joe Allen, center, and
Fred Sneed, guard.
Of the ten returning baclcs,
two are triple-threat quarter-
baclu of considerable experience
and versatility. Albert Mont
gomery, the Gastonia senior, is
likely to continue in the starting
slot with Riddick’s modified T.
His regular alternate and under
study this year Vill be Edward
Hudson, the highly touted passer
from Williamsburg, Va. The
Eagles are well manned In other
backfield positions, too.
The Eagles’ troubles are ex
pected to come mostly from in-
exiterienced replacements along
the line. One position that at this
time shapes up as in special need
of attention is tackle. Only Eu
gene Coleigan, 225 lb. Greens
boro junior, is now listed as a
letterman holdover in this po
sition.
In other positions, however,
the Eagles are capable of sending
tough competitors i» to start the
action. At ends, for example, are
Bobby Johnson, Durham sopho
more, and Henry Lewis, Wil
liamsburg, Va., senior. The
guards are likely to be last year’s
dependable replacements Ivan
McC^skill, Miami, Fla., senior,
and Dearl Webster, Raleigh jun
ior. Alternates must be develop
ed for these fellows.
Tackle possibilities are Tommy
Stith, New Bern junior, to team
with Coleman, with assistance
from the Riddickmen’s 300
pound “iron man,” Big John
Baker of Raleigh. The Raleigh
boy alternates between fullback
and tackle.
Francis Roberts, Raleigh jun
ior anchorman, seems a sure
starter. His replacement at the
moment is unknown.
This year’s backfield promises
a continuation of the bitter rival
ry between the sophomore half
back flashes Clifton Jackson of
Hampton and Harold Joyner of
Williamston with their senior
counterparts, George Alexander
of Salisbury and Oscar Turner of
Suffolk, Va.
Supplementing Baker’s buck
ling tactics at full are Carvis
Bullock of Creedmoor and Sam
uel Harps of Norfolk, Va.
Willie Hayes, place-kicking
sophomore back from Durham,
and Paul Woodard, former
Marine Corps start, are other
backs who sparkled last season
:for NCC.

BULLS AND RAMS SCHEDULED TO
MEET IN POST SEASON GAME
The Durham Bulls and the
Durham Rams are scheduled
to play a contest at Durham
Athletic Park sometime next
week, according to Douglass
Larmar Gordon, general man
ager of tiie Rams.
Gordon told the TIMES
this week that preliminary ar
rangements for the meeting
between the two teams have
been completed. The game is
scheduled to be played immedi
ately following the Carolina Lea
gue’s Shaugnessy play-offs, in
which the Bulls are entered.
The exact date of the meeting
beween the teams could not be
determined Wednesday inasmuch
as the Bulls had competed only
one game in the play-offs.
If the contest between the
Rams and the Bulls comes off as
scheduled, it will be a “first" in
local baseball -history. It will
mark the first time that the
Carolina League’s local entry
competed against a local Negro
team.
Members of the Class B Iiea-
gue, the Bulla have enjoyed one
of their best sessions in'League
play. They finished second in the
League standing this year. Bulls
manager, former Boston Red Sox
second baseman Johnny Pesky,
has been high on the potential of
his players.
On the other hand, the Rams
are a relatively young and inex
perienced aggregation. Although
they have an impressive record
in unorganized competition this
season, they have not been sev
erely tested. Only one or two
Rams players have tasted organ
ized play.
First Lieutenant Robert C.
Bell has just returned from
a tour of duty in Japan. He
is now visiting Mrs. L. M.
Hill of 805 Dupree Street in
Durham, where he made his
home prior to going over
seas. He is formerly from
HHartford, Conn.
Lt. Bell will report for
Fort Bliss, Texas when his
leave is over to attend the
AAA and GM Battery offi
cers course for nine months.
A&T TO OPEN
WITH CENTRAL
ON SEPT. 15
GREENSBORO
The lid will be lifted on the
1956 football season when the
A&T College Aggies take on Cen
tral State College of Wilberforce,
Ohio, here Saturday ni^t, Sept.
15.
The intersectional fracas, an in
and out affair for the past nine
years, brings together the two
teams after a one-year layoff. In
the six-games played during the
period, the Aggies hold a hefty
victory advantage of 5-1, win
ning in 1947, 1950, .1951, 1952,
1053 and 19S4. Central State won
in 1948 and they failed to meet
in 1949. and 1955.
From any angle the meeting
shapes up as a slam-bang setto.
Reports from the Ohio iiutitution
indicate that the Wilberforce
outfit will field one of the strong
est aggregations It has had in
recent ^ears. Gaston "Country”
Lewis, the Central State coach,
who has the reputation of put
ting together winning outfits, is
reportedly in especially "good
shape” for the current cam
paign.
ITie Aggies, too, are not with
out good potentialities if fresh
man prospects come up to ex
pectations. A lot will depend up
on that.
The game will serve as an
adequate test for both aggrega
tions. Bill Bell has already stated
that if his team comes through
successfully in the opener, his
boys might be difficult for the
remainder of the season.
