^ Jill VOL. 30, NO. 38 A&T Has Become For All-Americai By RICHAR In recent years, A&T has beei somewhat of a proving ground for Little All-Americas, witl four Aggies having been name to the national teams in as man; seasons. This season's A&T footbal squad finds itself with no les than four prime candidates fo national honors. It is probabl; somewhat useless to try to ran] these fine players, due to th diversity of football skills in volved. The Aggies opened pre-seasoi drills under head coach Hornsb; Howell last Monday. More tha: 85 candidates answered the in itial call, although the roste will be trimmed to the tim A&T opens against S. C.

Although n highly under-rated at the beginy ning of last season, Blacknall d attracted attention as he averag- j - ed nearly 20 tackles per game t r and had five interceptions.
