FOOTBALL FAREWELL FOR CIAA
After all the commotion, the CIAA championship was pla; -
ed last Thursday in Charlotte and despite al! the trouble, the
conference officials were pretty much satisfied at the results.
Clarence (Bighouse) Gaines, president of the CIAA, was hap;,-,
with the promotion of the league’s first champior.snip contest.
He expressed his thank-you to the people of Charlotte for ac
cepting the game.
“I believe our first venture was very successful, ’’ Games
told the press following the Thanksgiving Day contest. “Truth
fully I would say the response here was very, very good. Ev
erybody here co-operated wonderful.”
The veteran basketball mentor at Winston-Salem State Uni
versity concluded his comments by saying the champions ip
game will be played again next year.
The status of the CIAA as a league for next year is still un
settled at this time. As to what plans the conference will take
for the years to come remain to be resolved. This information
will probably not be availabe before the spring meeting for t *
conference.
As most people know by now, at least six members schools
of the now CIAA conference will withdraw next year and fom
a conference of its own known as the Mid-Eastern Conference.
North Carolina Central, AS.T, Morgan, Maryland State, How -
ard, Delaware State along with South Carolina State h ave alrea r.
made commitments to join the new conference.
There is a highly possibility that either Virginia State or
Hampton will become the eighth member of this conference.
At the time the preliminary plans were made for the new con
ference, neither of the two promising schools had a president
so the final decision was not made.
Finals plans for establishing the new league will me made at
the organizational meeting in Washington, D. C., Dec. 5 and G.
Hopefully, the commissioner for the new league will be nam
ed by this time.
Applications have been filing in for the post as top man for
the new conference for the several weeks. Albert Smith, ath
letic director at A&T is heading up the committee to select
the commissioner.
By going into a smaller conference, it is hopeful that the nev.
conference may be able to secure a football contract with one
of the national television networks. This will mean money in
itself but no network would consider giving a conference a
contract with as many schools as the present CIAA confer
ence has.
With the rising cost of collegiate athletics, money is ti e
key to survival. Football Is the money making sport for am
conference and the new conference has high hopes of making
a name in this sport after its organization.
The CIAA will not be the same with certain schools leav
ing. The traditional rivalries established by some of tie schools
in the conference wifi certainly be missed. Schools around the
conference known for their basketball ability who will be
staying with the conference will loose some of their games
with the schools leaving. All in all, the CIAA will still be re
membered in the hearts of many people. Even though certain
teams will he leaving the league, they will always I* remer -
bered as CIAA schools.

1 emu State Downs
Parsons For 9th Win
BY LUTHER CARMICHAEL
ST. LOITS-The Big Blue Tig
ers of Tennessee State Univer
sity used a brilliant defense
here last week to set un touch
downs in the second, third and
fourth periods and went on to
down a stubborn Parsons Col
lege outfit 1 a score of 21-3
in the annual Gateway Classic
held at Bushel Memorial Sta
dium .
Defensive back Freddie Her
ring recovered one fumble and
intercepted one i ass to set up
two of the Tit’s, while defen
sive cm - Fa- Tit*' recovered
a fumble a' " e Parsons 15 to
set up the other TD.
Parsons drew first blood
when Jo! n Kurko intercepted
a Tennessee Staff pass and re
turned to H.e Tiger 17, but the
Tiger defense, dubbed “The
Defenders’", -tiffened and the
Parsons tear. !ad to settle for
a 30-yard field voa.l b- T r ank
Repass foi what t rned <art -to
be tbetr only points in the game.
But tin Rig Blue was not to
be denied, d*-> he a rash of
fumbles and penalties at crucial
stages. Later in the same peri
od, Herring, a defensive back,
recovered a fumblt which put
the Big Blue in business at
the Parsons’ 35. Or tire fourth
plat of the series, Joe Gil
liam, Jr., rifled a pass to David
Davis iri the end zone from 25-
yards out for the TD. Alfred
Reese kicked the extra, and
the Tigers were on top to stay.
The brilliant Tiger defense
continued to apply the pressure
against the Parsons offense
after Intermission. These pres
surizing tactics paid off hand
somely again for the Tigers
when Fite, defensive end,
pounced on a loose ball at the
season at home Tuesday against
St. Paul's College. The Thurs
day night opponent for the lo
cals will be Barber-Scotla Col
lege.
St. Augustine's get its first
taste of Southern Division CIAA
action Saturday night when the
Falcons travel to Elisabeth Ci
ty to meet the Elizabeth City
Parsons 15.
On the first play of the
series, hard running Reese,
who performs at the set back
post in addition to his field
goal and extra point activities,
found a gaping hole in the Par
sons forewall and rambled to
paydirt. He kicked the extra
to give the Tigers a 14-3 lead.
The alert Herring was John
ny-on -the-spot again in the
fourth period when he intercept
ed a Sid Bradley pass on the
Parsons 22 and returned to the
Tiger 12. With, fourth down com
ing up and wit! the ball on the
Parsons 9, Gilliam found Maceo
Coleman in the end zone and
calmly passed to Mm for the
tally. Reese again converted to
round out the scoring.
The Big Blues had three
scores called back because of
penalties but the most contro
versial of the three game In
the final five seconds of the
game when Clifford Brooks,
st i ong safety, inferce pte d a
Larry Hudak pass at the Tig
er 10 and then proceeded to
run through the entire Parsons
team behind powerful dow rn
field blocking on the part of his
mates.
One official ruled a touch
down, while another charged a
clip against the Tigers. In the
height of the confusion, the
Parson captain reportedly re
tused the penalty,
“That being the case,” com
mented head coach John Merritt
of the TSU Tigers, we should
have been allowed the touch
down.”
In winning, the Tigers had
a total offense of 428-yards,
297 of these on the passing
arm of star quarterback Joe
Gilliam, Jr.
