AGGIES FACE UNBEATEN TEAM
FOR THIRD STRAIGHT GAME
I A&T's big problem against
Virginia State here Saturday
afternoon is what to do for an
encore. The Aggies for the third
straight time find themselves
facing an undefeated team.
The Trojans come to Greens
boro with an impressive 5-0-1
record. Says A&T^ coach Horns
by Howell: "Those other games
we won are in the past and we
are not living on those. We have
to respect Virginia State as not
having lost a game."
The big question tonight is
whether or not the Aggies can
rise to the occasion for the third
straight time. Two weeks ago,
they snapped Morgan State Col
lege's 31-game winning streak.
Last Saturday in Tallahassee,
A&T dumped previously-un
beaten Florida A&M University
0-6.
! The Aggies, now 5-1 In CIAA
play, can go ahead of the Tro
I jans in the standings with a
I victory. Both teams are a shade
behind defending' champion
Morgan, 6-1 in league play.
tLast Saturday, Virginia State
whipped arch . rival Norfolk
State, 21-17. to remain In con
I tention for the title. The Trojans
are leading In two defensive
categories in the conference
ratings.
As in past games, the Aggies
will bank on their explosive of
fensive attack to try to down
the Trojans. Pacing the offense
will be sophomore quarterback j
Stanley Jacobs and All-CIAA
flanker Willie Pearson.
Jacobs, already destined to
become one of the Aggies'
greatest passers, can reach the
1,000-yard mark in passing
yardage. He has thrown 12
touchdown passes and amassed
964 yards in the air.
Pearson, the Aggies' candidate
for Little Ail-American honors,
has gained 173 yards in 31 car
ries. He has scored seven touch
downs on pass receptions and
one by rushing. He has 24 pass
receptions for 399 yards.
A&T's other backfield starters
will probably be fullback Tom
my Blue and either halfback
Henry Walker ot Lorenzo Pear
son.
Virginia State is led by All
CIAA fullback Garwin DeBerry,
halfback Angelo Cuffee and de
fensive tackle Jim MitchelL
Servicemen's Families
May Record
"Voices From Home"
Again This Year
On Wednesday, December 4,
through Friday, December 6,
relatives of men and women in
the military service stationed
overseas may record messages
to them at the Red Cross Chap
ter House, 1100 Church Street,
according to Mrs. A. C. Wood
roof, Jr., Chairman of "Voices
From Home" Project of the
Services to Military Families
Department of the local chap
ter. Hours Wed. and Thurs. are
10 a. m. to 9 p. m. and on FrL
from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m., with
appointments to be scheduled
at 20-minute intervals.
The Voicewriter Division,
Thomas A. Edison Industrie^
has donated a Voicewriter to
the Red Cross and the chapter
is furnishing the discs and mail
ing envelopes without charge to
persons who record messages.
Mrs. Woodroof and Mrs. W.
Marvin Clapp, Chairman of Of
fice of Volunteers, are schedu
ling volunteers to be at the
Chapter House to assist families
with recordings.
"Relatives wishing to make
?Voices From Home' Recordings
are invited and urged to make
appointments now by calling
Red Cross Chapter House, 273
4481, between 9 a. m. and 5 p.
m., except Saturday and Sun
day. We suggest that family
members planning to send a
message to the same person,
come together. Also, it will be
helpful if persons make notes
of what they wish to say before
coming to the Chapter House,"
said Mrs. Woodroof.
"Last year, more than 180
voices were recorded with the
assistance of Red Cross Volun
teers and staff. From reports
families received from their
sons and husbands overseas, we
know how much these "Voices
From Home" meant to them.
We hope that many people In
Greensboro and Guilford Coun
ty will take advantage of this
opportunity this year. The ser
vice is available also to families
outside of this county, who may
want to call and make an ap
pointment. This is one of our
i Red Cross Services made possl
| ble through community support
| of United Fund of Greater
I Greensboro."
