Game Takes
National Spotlight
The stage is all set for the long
waited" opening gridiron battle
etween the A. and T. Aggies and
le colorful Wilberforce Universy
Green Wave. Time for this
rent intersectional contest has
' en set at S:15 p. m. tonight at
Lemoriul Stadium. Thousands

eeted to throng the stadium for
liis tilt, and speculation is Tuning
rampant throughout Sepia
jollia'l circles over the outcome
f this contest.
ill addition to this game liavjg
great possibilities of being a
ide-open affair, last-minute deeiopincnts
point to a "battle of
ullbacks" in the local college's
polling contest. The Aggies are
citing a lot of store by their two

Hammer) Reid.

leluxe. Then, in addition, Reid
las an added advantage of being '
t. and T.'s prist kicker, lie lias,
hroughout pre-season training,
leen booting 50-yard punts with
i monotonous degree of regularty.
Stonewall, the Aggies' other
lowerful sensation, tips the .
icales at 210 pounds, and is easly
the fastest man on the Aggie
iquad. Jackson has been clocked
n less than 10 seconds in the
100-yard dash, and is known and
respected throughout the CIAA
circuit as a hard man to stop.
But the Buckeye lads from
Ohio have their fullback star,
too. He's Edward (Tip) Tipton.
Weighing in at 19 0 pounds, Tip
stands live ieet 11 mciies, uuu
is Wilberforce's contribution to
the All-Midwestern Eleven last
year. He'll be the man the Aggies
will have to throttle it they're to
come out on top in their initial
tilt here today.
Messrs. Country Lewis. Bobby
I.ee, and Jim Walker are counting
heavily on Tipton to carry
the brunt of the attack this season
as he has filled the work
horse role fov the Ohioans for the
past two seasons. In addition to
being a great line plunger last
year. Tipton's broken field running
was quite outstanding for
a fullback, being done with the
east of a scat-back runner. However,
the husky, 21-year-old Jun
ior from Dayton does his number
best in line-s'.ashing.
Powerful Man
In the Wilberforce-We8t Vlr- ,
einia game last Thanksgiving
Day, which ended 13-13, he carried
three Virginians across the
goal line with his powerful lunge .
scoring the tielng marker.
In the meantime, out at the
Atrgies' camp. Coach Bell and
his assistants, Eldridge Williams,
Howard Gentry and Ray Hopson,
have been doing yeomanlike duty
