State, once a powerhouse in football, opens against Winston Salem. The Yellowjackets should win this one, but they're no cinch. Coach Adolph Hamblln has the toughest Job. of any major coach in the country. He Is being forced to take the material at hand and do the best Job possible.

He is not favored with subsidized material or a host of former scholastic satellites. Hamblin's case is one of the mysteries of collegiate football. While 90 per cent of the Nation's colleges are literally klbfapplng high school stars this coach, who has done a great Job for more than 30 years, is denied aid and support by the powers that be In West Virginia. In the deep South Florida is primed to rout Alabama State, while figures to take a pasting from 71 orris Brown. of the most interesting games of the day will be the clash Between? Tennessee State and Langston at Nashville.

These same two teams battled to a 6 6 tie last week and now they're going to go at it. again Saturday. The entire pigskin world is watching developments at Tennessee with tremendous interest. For years now Ten nessee' has been the football doormat of the South and Midwest However, a new president is in and he's, a football man frOfh 'way a good football team and the prominence that it can bring. The first thing he did when ha took over was to hire Henry Kean to handle the fob bail chores at Tennessee.

That was a wise and profitable move, if there is any coaeh in the country capable of bringing Tennessee out of the pigskin doldrums it is the personable Mr. Kean made Kentucky State a football giant. Kean' debut against the powerful Langston Lions lak week ended in a 6 6 tie. That in itself was a moral victory for the new coach and the new president at Tennessee. Tennessee is, without a doubt, the team to keep your eyes on this fall and in the future.

Down in the wild and wooly Southwest, Sam Huston, a little school that is coming up in a big way, faces Southern university at Scotland ville, while Texas college is doing business with Arkansas State at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Sam Huston gets the nod over an untried Southern aggregation and the Texas Steers have no difficulty throwing the game, but powerless Arkansas combine. That's the way thr colorful Pigskin parade looks from here but keep your fiigers crossed, because inconsistency is our greatest virtue.
