As college football begins the "home stretch," A&T finds itself with a disappointing 2-4 record. What happened to the once proud Aggie squad which posted a season-opening 14-7 win over arch­ rival WSSU? That's a question head coach Jim McKinley must be asking his assistant coaches. He'd better find out soon because two consecutive conference games are coming up. If the Aggies are to salvage anything from this nightmarish season, they must win these games. Fortunately, A&T's loss to UMES will not count against them in the conference standings because the Hawks are ineligible to compete in the MEAC. Saturday's 16-6 homecoming loss was the worst football game I've seen an Aggie team play. The Hawks were in total control, utilizing a tough, hard­ hitting defense, which left the Aggie offense The Aggie football team puts up a tough battle against Maryland Eastern Shore.
