If something does not develop soon, it could happen that colorful Dillard University may be forced to abandon football, next season. The Blue Devils, that dominated the fledgling Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, are having trouble with scheduling games for next fall and, at this writing, had only two opponents for the 1965 season, with very slim chances at this late date of obtaining any more.

A MAIN reason for the Blue Devils' scheduling troubles lies in the tact that two more members of the GCAC decided to drop football, after the 1964 season. Rust College, Mississippi, and Philander Smith, Arkansas, announced they dropping football. They were two regular op ponents for Dillard, and chart er members of the Gulf Coast Conference. In addition, Dil lard, already, had dropped Bishop College, another GCAC member, and Wiley College, from its schedule.
