The Register Gridiron Grist November 24, 1955 Page By LEON DIXON CAROLINA CLASSIC Although both teams have had comparatively good seasons, the tra­ ditional Turkey Day grid battle between the North Carolina College Eagles (4-1-1) and the A&T College Aggies (4-1-1) today is expected to draw a capacity crowd to Memorial Stadium in the final CIAA Conference tilt of the season for both teams. The game marks the twenty-fifth meeting of these two teams in a series Classic which originated in 1928. Today the Turkey Day battle, featuring these,two teams, has become a sort of institution with North Carolina sports fans. For the first time in many moons both teams are practically out of concentration for the CIAA flag, having at least one defeat each; but the most avid Tar Heel sports follower rates the State Championship above that anyway. However, the biggest concern in the State at the moment is which team will win the Classic this year. On the basis of the wins and losses the teams are just about even, but the Aggies have played a slightly tougher schedule. Previous records for the season mean almost nothing when these two aggregations begin bumping heads. In the long history of the competition, it is not unusual for the underdog team to emerge the victor. The question is never fully decided until the final whistle is blown late in the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day. If we dig into the record book and explore the statistics, we will find that these two teams have played 24 games, A&T winning thirteen. The Aggies have scored 292 points, while limiting the Eagles to 212 points. There have been two ties in the series. When this game is completed and entered into the record books, the College grid careers of eight players will have terminated, three for the Eagles and five for the Aggies. End and Co-captain Ross Hines of Detroit, Michigan, Co-captain and All-American tackle Mathew Boone from Hampton, Virginia and Jack "Mighty Man" Aiken, 54 All-CIAA at the guard post and NC's candidate for All-American Honors in '55 will end their gridiron battles for the Maroon and Gray on this day.'Since this will ring down the curtain on the last act, these Eagles are expected to give their greatest performances and fade from the grid scene in victory A&T, on the other hand will lose the services of Frank "Willing" Willingham, halfback, Paul Talbot, guard, James Covial, end, George Mayes, tackle and Lawrence Payne .halfback. The two teams are fully manned and in tip-top condition. This "back yard" battle is expected to be the greatest yet. Only one thing is certain, AW Shucks!!

EXTRA POINTS BY BOBBY MOORE Official CIAA statistics released November 15 give evidence to the assumption that Maryland State will be the grid champions of the conference for 1955. The perennial Hawks, still unbeaten, have a string of six wins and no ties for the current cariipaign. A. and T. occupies second place in the standings with a 4 won, 1 loss, 1 tie record. Virginia State (4-0-3) is third, and North Carolina College is fourth with a 3-1-1 record. During the span of the season, the Aggies have proved themselves to be one of the powers of the con­ ference. Only a heartbreaking 6-0 loss to Maryland State mars an otherwise commendable r e co rd. Under the able leadership of their erstwhile mentor, Coach Bill Bell, the Aggies have developed into a surprisingly well-balanced team, both offensively and defensively. The backfield, bolstered by the re­ turn of J. D. Smith, has provided a scoring punch equal in proportion to the indispensable talents of the defensive forces. As a whole, the team has more than lived up to its expectations. One of the reasons for doubt when the season began was the absence of quarterback Howard Battle, a junior who saw limited action last year because of an injured leg. He was expected to take over the field general position vacated by Lonnie Hall, but recurrences of his old injury placed his services at a min­ imum. Donald Boone, the freshman from Burlington, has filled the position admirably. He has proved that he is a first-line quarterback in his first season of college grid play. Further exploration of conference statistics shows that J. D. Smith, star A. and T. fullback, ranks fourth in the CIAA in total offense, hav­ ing gained 44 yards in 74 carries for an average of 6 yards per try. Donald Boone is sixth with 381 yards gained in 42 tries for 9 yards per carry. In rushing, Smith is third with 445 yards in 74 attempts. In forward passing, bullet-arm Boone is third with 21 completions in 36 attempts for 380 yards and 5 touchdowns. John Cuthrell was on the receiving end of 8 of these 183 yards and 1 touchdown. Cuthrell ranks sixth in pass receiving. In scoring, J. D. Smith is third with 5 touchdowns and 1 conversion rfield point for 31 points. Most lofty position of the team as a whole is in punting where it stands only YOU ! behind North Carolina College with 34.7 average for 30 boots.
