Dukos was No. 1 college player in 1953 while playing for Seton Hall. The Rochester Royals have Maurice (the Magnificent) Stokes, rated by some the best college basketball player in 1953, and Ed Fleming a co-captain at Niagara University last season.

Game time is 1:00 p.m. This will be the 50th meeting of the two charter members of the C.I.A.A. since the rivalry started back in 1894. To date, Lincoln leads in the series with 20 wins and 19 losses. Nine games have ended in a tie; while one game.the 1939 contest.

The Classic, which was taken over by the C.I.A.A. in 1950 in an effort to discourage conference teams from participating in professionally promoted games, usually brings together two of the 18-team top elevens. This year, however, Howard and Lincoln were selected to celebrate their 50th meeting. Neither Howard nor Lincoln is having one of its better seasons recordwise.

Howard has won only two of its eight games; while the Pennsylvanians have salvaged only one win in seven starts. The records notwithstanding, the teams Miss. Vocational College Claims SCAC Champion After Win From Ml Saturday Homecoming Crowd Thrilled As Devils Score 26-0 Victory Itta Bena, Miss. Nov. 21 The Delta Devils of Mississippi Vocational College, their eyes on the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship, playing before a large home-coming day crowd following the dedication of their spanking brand-new Magnolia Stadium, took lightning-like advantage of three fumbles and a blocked kick to roll up a 26-0 score against Mississippi Industrial College Tigers here Saturday afternoon.

After playing to a nothing-nothing deadlock through the first half the Devils started scoring with dramatic-like suddeness midway the third period, and less than six minutes ran up a 20 to 0 score, and went on to make it 26-0 before the game ended. The scoring started when the Tigers behind their own 20-yard line elected to try a razzle-dazzle play only to fumble the ball with hands wet and cold because of the muddy gridiron. A great kick from the Devils again put the ball behind the Tigers 20, who failing to profit by their own example elected to handle the ball instead of kicking out only to lose it on a fumble which the devils quickly converted into another touchdown, and after only two plays following the next kick the Tigers again fumbled and again the Devils quickly drove to another touchdown to make the score 20-0. Appearing to become listless from the sudden scoring by the Devils the Tigers were wide-open for the long pass which gave the Devils another touchdown, and the 26-0 score which ended the game. Most of the Devils spark was furnished by Adam Dervin, who is being boosted for All-American honors this year.

Dervin accounted for three of the Tigers touchdowns and played brilliantly all during the afternoon. He was ablely followed by Taylor and Leach, with toe accounting for three of the extra points. The lighter but faster Tigers appeared handicapped by the heavy mud underfoot and were never able to get going with the running attack that brought them victory over both Alcorn and Jackson College this year. It was on the basis of their win over the Tigers who have beaten both Alcorn and Jackson College this year that the Devils are now claiming the SCAC Championship. Only Jackson College beat the Devils, and then only by a 7-6 score.

The Marching Delvians and the MVC-Band furnished a colorful halftime show. State, County, and Local officials took part in the dedication of the Stadium which was just completed in time for the game. expected to stage their customary when they meet.

Mr. unofficial vote total was 52,117 and Mr. 33,061. This is a difference of 19,056. So if say just 10,000 of the Negro votes that went to Mr.

Orgill had gone to Mr. Watkins, the mayor-elect would have ended up with a total of 42,117 while that 10,000 would have boosted the former total to 43,061, which would have thrown the victory the other way.

Tiger players snorted indignantly and shook their heads in puzzlement.

said All-American candidate Willie Davis, a 220-pound tackle, more than I can understand." As almost everyone knows by now, the Tigers are the new national Negro champs, have been a grid power for sometime, and are not blanketed by the cloak of obscurity that Smith claims. The accompanying facts bring into sharp focus the delusive quality in his statement: Grambling has sizzled as an athletic power since 1945 when it defeated Lane college in the Flower Bowl. Since that time they have ridden lickety-split in basketball, baseball, football and track. A comparison between Grambling and FAMU shows that the Rattlers have been much more erratic than their Tiger counterparts against top-flight competition.

Hopkins, a hollow-cheeked, underfed stringbean, is the nation's top scorer with 2,894 points in three seasons. He needs only 106 points to move into the yet untenanted 3,000 point class. Grambling is a member of the strong Mid-West conference, which yearly produces some of the most rugged small-college football.
