Iggies Set For
Hampton
First Local ClAA Tilt
The A. and T. Aggies are all
set for their clash tonight (Saturday)
with the powerful Pirates
from Hampton Institute.
For the first time this season
the local eleven moves into a
gridiron contest in the role of
the underdog. In their previous
games with Wilberforce and Virginia
Union, the Aggies were
aither favorites or toss-up choice
lo wind up the 60 minutes of
battle on the long end.
The rest of it now is a matter
of history. The 'Forceans unzipped
a lot of power well mixed
with a flashy type of offense to
give the locals their first taste
of defeat. A week later Virginia
Union won out in what turned
out to be a contested decision
tor "inetfecient" officiating.
Primed now, A. and T. is all
set to swing back into the winning
column. After a week's
priming and preparation, the
blue and gold clad warriors are
out to show the home folks just
what they can do in Greensboro's
opening CIAA battle.
The outcome of tonight's battle,
to be played under the arc
lights at Memorial Stadium, will
nave an important Hearing on
whether A. & T; winds up with
the topflight aggregations in the
conference or otherwise. Should
the Aggies whip the Pirates, they
will be in fine condition when '
their next game rolls around.
Next week the A, and T. team
will enjoy an open' date, and
with a victory over the Tidewater
lads under their belts,
they can face the Yellow Jackets
Of West Virginia with a good
chance of coming out on the
bright side in their 'Homcoming
attraction the following weekend.
Hampton Favored '
While Hampton is accorded the
favorite's role in tonight's game,
the trwo teams actually seem to
be about evenly matched as they
go into the contest. While Hampton
has registered victories over
