veterans totally and permanent

disabilities will find it consider
ably easier to obtain "wheel

of a new law.
These are veterans who are
eligible for GI loan benefits and |
who need specially adapted

MISS DELORES PEOPLES
HOSPITAL PATIENT USES TIME
TO CULTIVATE ARTISTIC GIFTS
Miss Delores Peoples of 219%
Gant Street is now a patient at
the L. Richardson Hospital at
the time that the above picture
was made. Of course, one who
observes this picture and the
surroundings of her threads,
needles, and ready made pieces
that are completed would de
clare that she is a Home Eco- j
nomics Teacher in College. Miss
Peoples states that, "knitting, I
crocheting, and sewing is an I
artistic gift." She states that as'
a patient at L. Richardson Hos- j
more profitably as a patient '
"she found time to catch-up
with many of her orders in knit
ting and crocheting caps, scarfs,
and sweaters." She uses her time
more profitable as a patient
than many young people on the
recuperation list, who play dif- ,
ferent types of card games and
gossip while sitting in the sol
arium in the sunshine. Miss
Peoples knits and crochets with
the many different colors of i
threads. When she is through |
with a sweater or scarf with the
colors of red, white, and blue

James Lilly Gives
Aggies A New Weapon
For Football Games
The secret weapon that A&T
unleashed against Virginia State
last Saturday was not really a
secret to coach Hornsby Howell.
"We knew that James Lilly
could run 40 yards in 4.4 sec
onds," said Howell. "The only
reason thata we had not used
him more before is that he had
some difficulty adjusting to our
system."
Lilly, at 152 pounds, is the
smallest player on the Aggies'
roster, but Howell has big plans
for the speedster in the future,
like next Saturday against North
Carolina Central.
Lilly, a native of Norwood,
N. C., is almost bashful about
making the two long touchdowns
runs (65 and 66 yards) that
knocked the Trojans from the
ranks of the undefeated.
"It's a funny thing," he said,
"but we hadn't worked on that
play all week. When I got the
ball, I saw such a big hole that
I didn't even have to fake."
Lilly only carried the ball
twice against Virginia State, but
he finished the game with 131
yards. And he's only a freshman.
After he crossed the line ol
scrimmage, he accelerated and
left the Trojan defenders al
most in their tracks.
"I was surprised when I went
all the way the first time," said
Lilly, "but I was even more sur
prised the second time, because
I thought the linebacker saw me
and would follow me."
Lilly compiled quite a record
for himself at South Stanley
High. He led his team to the
state playoffs two years in a
row, scoring 12 touchdowns his
final season.
"We were hesitant about using
Lilly in Saturday's game," said
Howell, "because he had a bruis
ed foot. "As for his size, as long
as he gets the job done that
won't work against him."
Because of shoddy play by
some of his veterans in recent
games, Howell had promised to
install some new faces into the
Aggie lineup. Lilly was one of
those new faces.
"We got some good blocking
on both of those plays," added
Howell, "and Lilly did a fine
job of running with the ball."
Lilly, has generally been a
punt return specialist and had
appeared on offense in only one
other game. All that is behind
him now and the future will
' probably find the Aggies setting
I him up for more long runs.
