Aggies End 8-1 Grid Season
With 21-6 Win Over Eagles
By Richard E. Moore
Durham, N. C. ? Although
denied a share of the coveted
CIAA football title, explosive
North Carolina A&T concluded
its best season since 1964 by
downing arch-rival North Car
olina College, 21-6 here before
11,000 fans Thanksgiving Day.
The win over the Eagles upped
the Aggies' season record to
8-1, quite an accomplishment
for Hornsby Howell, A&T's new
i coach.
In defeating N. C. College,
; the Aggies got a topnotch per
; formance from senior flanker
Willie Pearson and sophomore
j quarterback Stanley Jacobs.
Pearson, A&T's Little All
| American candidate, broke the
! Eagles' back with a 72-yard
| o'int return for a touchdown
i midway the third quarter. The
! Aggies had scored twice in the
j fi^t neriod. Tt was Jacobs, a
native of Orangeburg, S. C.,
who took the Eagles aoart with
his passes. Jacobs connected on
seven of 17 tosses for 127 yards,
most of these in the first half,
j He also scored on a one-vard
i run with 4:00 left In the second
j quarter. The Aggies' other score
came on a one-yard run by
fullback Tommy Blue late In
the first quarter.
Jacobs' favorite targets were
Pearson, with three catches for
84 yards, and freshman end
Willie Wright. The stout A&T
defense, led by tackles Demp
sey Bryant, Ralph Coleman,
and ends Billy Gaines and
Doug Hentz, completed frus
trated North Carolina College's
attack. The Eagles were held
to 70 yards on the ground and
to just 10 yards passing. The
Eagles' lone touchdown came
in the opening moments of the
fourth quarter, when end Jos
eph Harrell blocked Blue's
punt, crabbed the ball and
raced 12 yards to paydirt. Other
than that. North Carolina Col
lege could get no closer than
A&T's 19-yard line.
A&T's first touchdown by
Blue was set up when Bryant
recovered an Eagle fumble on
N. C. College's 7-yard line. It
took the A&T fullback three
plays to score. Pearson's ex
citing run came with 8:00 left
in the third period. Unable to
move the ball, the Eagles
punted from their own 28.
Pearson caught the ball, danced
momentarily behind a wall of
blockers and raced into the end
zone. It was his 10th touchdown
of the season. Blue was A&T's
leading rusher with 55 yards In
12 carries. Richard Armstrong
j added 37 yards In IT carries.
