HOLLEY HAMPTON, Va. (CIAA New? Service!—After a thorough investi gation of the near-riot at Charlotte, N. C. on September 30 between the football teams from Johnson C. Smith and Virginia Union Univer sity, stiff penalties were invoked here by the CIAA Commissioner, Harry R. Jefferson, against the two schools, coaches, and the officials of the game. The game, marred throughout with temper flares and fist flying, was culminated with the benches of both teams pouring on the fi< Id with more than two minutes to play in a free-for all. Shortly afterward, Union's roach. Tom Harris, with drew his team from the contest and refused to finish playing the game. The penalties inflicted as a result of the ruckus were the first of its kind In recent years, and the first action of Commis sioner Jefferson in his effort to bring an end to the flurry of fights in CIAA games this season. The Commissioner ruled that “the CIAA by-laws should apply in the case of Virginia Union because Coach Harris withdrew his team from the contest before the game had been comnleted." "As a result of this, Virginia Union is ordered to return the guarantee to Johnson C. Smith by November Ist," Jeffer son stated. Coaches On Probation Both coaches, Harris and Eddie McGirt of Smith, have been cen sured and placed on probation for the balance of the football season by the Commissioner. "Lack of control, over their play ers was the charge placed against the two coaches who failed to re strain their players from rushing on the field to stage the fight." Jef ferson said in further explaining the penalties. As a result of the incomplete con test, the Commissioner announced that the score of ‘he game would be: Johnson C. Smith t, Virginia Union 0 On the basis nf a lark of con trot over the teams on the field, failure to keep the required re cords of players dismissed from the game and failure to record the game as officially a forfeit, with the score being 1-0 in favor of Smith, were the reasons giv en by the Commissioner for suspension of the four officials involved in action taken by the newly-established ( IAA office, F.
