The Augusta News-Review - September 13, 1973 w » I wl s MORGAN VS GRAMBLING TOPS IN BLACK COLLEGE GRID When the New York Urban League started the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Football Cassie, featuring Morgan State and Grambling College, they created the top football game in Black college circles. Not only is it the top draw among Black colleges, but outdraws many white college games including several “bowl” games. This year’s classic will be played at New York’s Yankee Stadium on Saturday, September 22nd, game time 3:00 P.M. One of the all-time great games is the Orange Blossom Cassie in Florida, featuring the A & M team against a leading team in the South. The Orange Blossom is entering its 41st year making it the granddaddy of Black college bowl games. Jack Gaither, dean of Black college coaches, retired from active duty at A & M this week after four decades at the school. The other top game in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is the battle between Bethune -Cookman and the Florida A & M. Their traditional donnybrook usually settles the State's number one position. In recent years the Fisk University-Fort Valley State game has taken on sectional importance. In the three year old Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference North Carolina A & T and North Carolina Central, Morgan State against Howard, and Morgan State against Maryland State have We don’t make promises.

This odd-shaped experimental aircraft will be on display to the public at Southgate Plaza, September 19-24th. The rocket powered X-24A, called a lifting body because it uses the shape of its body rather than wings to fly, has been flown to test concepts for possible use on future “space shuttle” missions. held the conference spotlight. These old C.I.A.A. teams, now in the new conference, still carry on their time-worn crusade for gridiron supremacy. The Central Intercollegiate Athlectic Conference’s highlight game is a state matter settling the question as to who is the best in Virginia, Virginia State or Virginia Union. In the Southwest Athletic Conference, generally considered the rough-necks of Black college football, traditional warfare exists between Grambling, Alcorn, Texas Southern and Jackson State (an independent) and the Tigers of Grambling. State’s only loss last year was to Grambling. All of these games, Page 8 important in their respective conferences and important nationally, draw anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 spectators. The Whitney M. Young, Jr. Classic, in its third year, has always packed 64,000 into Yankee Stadium. In its short history, the game has attracted national attention for its great play, great drawing power and its significance in college football. Coach Eddie Robinson of Grambling, in his 31st year at the Tiger helm, ranks second only to Alabama’s Bear Bryant in most wins for active coaches. Bryant has won 220, lost 69 and tied 16. Robinson has 215 victories, 77 defeats, and 11 ties. With a good year in ‘73, Robinson could become the number-one winning coach in the nation. With proceeds from the Morgan/Grambling game earmarked for educational programs for urban youth, another dimension of importance is added to this event.

Youngsters cool it on a summer day by splashing in a city swimming pool under the watchful eye of Henry Jones, a member of Teens on Patrol (TOP). Employed by the Rochester Police, TOPs work at 43 recreation sites around the city. Their presence encourages safety and good behavior, although they have no enforcement power. TOPs have been on duty in Rochester for the past seven summers. Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, in cooperation with the United States Air Force and will open to the public daily at no charge. The X-24A is in a special class of aerospace vehicles known as “lifting bodies.” Unlike conventional aircraft, the lifting body derives aerodynamic lift from the shape alone, rather than from wings. The lifting body shape would be far more versatile than the re-entry capsules: * used in present manned space flights. Lifting body crewmen would be capable of maneuvering during re-entry and making an airplane type landing at a conventional airfield. Between April 1969 and June 1971 the rocket powered X-24A made 28 successful flights with NASA and Air Force pilots at the controls.
