Tigers’ Winning Record
CHAPEL HILL
It a popularity contest were
conducted right now, Coach Wil
lie Bradshaw or any of hi« Lin
coln high school gridders could
win hands down.
The reason for such unpre
cedented popularity? Simple.
Two championship football teams
in a row, something not only new
but practically unheard of be
fore to Lincoln high football sup
porters.
The Tigers last year wound up
a perfcct season and then had to
settle for a tie and just half the
AA state championship with
Dunbar high of Lexington. Last
Wednesday night, however, they
squeezed out a 7-8 victory over
the Lexington Blue Devils-to
claim undisputed title to this
year’s double A crown.

WASHINGTON, D. C.
The top question on the na
tion’s lips these days is "what
kind of President will Nixon
make?”
Speculation over a possible
holder of the President's office,
coming three years before elec
tion and crowding out the haran
gue over the status of U.S. missle
and space exploration progress,
is du«, of course, to the latest
in a series of three illnesses suf
fered by President Eisenhower,
which has led to questions as to
whether the chief executive will
resign before his term expiree
The possibility of a change in
the office of President naturally
arouses much speculation, but
adding to the Intensity of recent
speculation is the fact that ttie
country’s foreign and domestic
policies are currently undergo
ing a revision. As the Journal
and Guide puts it editoriaUy;
“President Eisenhower's mild
cerebral attack...could scarcely
have come at a worse time...It is
a time when the numerous im
portant decisions must be taken
in domestic and foreign affairs."
One news service pointed out
the fact that pending in the near
future are important decisions
to be made, vitally affecting the
status of desegregation. One
such immediate decision in
volves the naming of a replace
ment for retired Supreme Court
Justice Stanley Reed as chair
man of the newly formed civil
rights commission. Reed resign
ed the appointment this week.
Of tbe Vice President, who
wuld succeed Eisenhower in
aise the latter decides to rMign,
one Ohio newspaper, the Journal
writes:
“The country is fortunate in
its Vice President, Richard Nix
on."
But the New York Post takes
a different view; “Nixon virtual
ly personifies the stereotype of
‘Just a cheap politician,’ the
Post writes.
The colunuilsts have bad their
sey, too, about the Vice Presi
dent and tite prospects of his be
coming ciUef executive. Robert
Spivaek (Watch on the Potom
ac) Mks the questicm; *‘Hasi
Nixon grown up?”
He admits he is not quite
sure. But he adds, "Before (Ike
resigns). I’d lilce to see a little
more of the ‘New Nixon.’ In
short. I’d like to know what’s
nowt”
Stewart Alsop asks himself the
same qu^tion and comes up
with a more pro-Nixon answer.
He makes the assumption that
aU office holders (or at least a
good majority) are poiiticans o(
two kinds; 1) those who "see
