of last year's starters gone via j i

basketball coach for the A and !
T. College Aggies has prob j

proportions.
Gone are Bob Saunders, team
captain, star play maker and!

points for his senior year; An f
thony Skinner, star rebounder j
and number three in scoring, j
and consistent performers like
Dewey Williams and Jim Web 1

But Irvin hasn't tossed in the :
towel. "We will just have to j
build on what is left," he ex
plains.
He will build his team around
five-good, solid ball players.'
The list includes: Captain Ted !
Campbell, a junior, 6-5, 235 j
pounds, who starred in his i
freshman year, but who had!
troubles in finding the basket |
last season; Co-Captain George j

Reminded that the Aggies
were able to sign up three of |
the most sought after basket
ball players in North Carolina, |
Irvin pooh-poohs this.
The reference was to Clar i

ward-center from Charlotte; j
Curtis Lambert, a 6-6 rebound-!
ing ace from Burlington, and
who last year broke all scor
ing records at the Jordan Sel
lars High School, and another
Charlotte star, Daryl Cherry,
who at this writing is still in

Joe Tex to
Headline Show
At NCC Tues.
One of the top stars in the
rock and roll field, Joe Tex,
will headline a concert here at
McDougald Gymnasium on N.
C. College campus Tuesday, De
cember 6, at 7:30 p.m. Appear
ing with him will be Eddie
Floyd, The Wallace Brothers
and Clyde Williams and his
orchestra.
Tex started his career with
an audition on the Arthur God
frey Talent Show in New York.
His next stop was the amateur
night at the Apollo Theatre
whero he was the wini'«r for
four weeks in a row and was
signed on the spot to a record
ing contract with King Records
His first effort, "Come In This
House" and the flip side, "Baby
You Upset My Home" were
immediate hits.
Joe Tex has appeared in in
numerable theatres and night
clubs throughout the country.
He became famous with the
release of "Hold What You
Got." His remarkable abilities
as a singer are only a part of
his musical talents. He is also
an accomplished song writer.
Eddie Floyd is widely known
for his "Knock on Wood" and
the Wallace Brothers for "Lov
er's Prayer."'
By the time the board of
directors gets through eating
lunch and telling funny stories
to each other, they haven't
much time left to direct.
I used to hate to get up in
the morning, and now I hate
stay ab"d, being what is
known as semi-retired.
Weight Stands in Way of Jim
Raye's Chances as a Pro Q6
CHICAGO Michigan State's
Jimmy Raye probably won't
make it as a pro quarterback—
but the stumbling block will
be size, not color, says the
December issue of Ebony.
One time barriers against Ne
gro signal-callers are coming
down, but there's no way for
Raye to get around the fact
that he weighs only 170 pounds
and stands just 5 ft. 10.
Anyhow, the Michigan State
star has another year to play
and is "not thinking of pro
ball at the moment."
And : f Raye's pro prospects
are nearly as slim as he is, two
other Negro quarterbacks now
playing big-time college ball
could make the pros in the
views of some professional
scouts. They are Hank Wash
ington of West Texas State and
Roy Stephens of Minnesota
Washington, a senior, stands
6 ft. 3, weighs 205, and going
into the fifth game of the sea
son had clicked on 61 of 119
passes for 889 yards, There are
reports that he can "toss a foot
ball 95 yards on the fly." And

aging 14.8 points per game to j

Stephens Sandy Stephens'
kid brother is rated a good
pro prospect because of his
size (6 ft. 4, and 212 pounds)
But he is only a sophomore,
and before he makes the pros
he'll have to make Minnesota's
first team Right now he's back
up man behind another Negro
quarterback, junior Curt Wil
son.
Michigan State has another
Negro quarterback, too re
serve Eric Marshall.
In fact, 1966 has seen a "de
finite breakthrough" for Negro
quarterbacks, with at least 10
Negroes (six of them first
string) calling signals for eight
big-time college teams
They are Raye and Marshall
of Michigan State: Wilson and
Stephens of Minnesota: Wash
ington of West Texas State
Gene Washington of Stanford:
Ron Burton. Colgate: Carroll
Williams, Xavier: Tony Jack
son, Cincinnati: and Garnetr
Phelps, Missouri
Summing up his prospects for
this campaign. Brown said, "We
will be in pretty good shape
as far as size, speed, and height
are concerned, but it will take
some time to form a first-class
team because of the inexperi
ence of some of the players.
But by midseason. we may be
worth looking at."

20 game schedule at home Dec.
