Southern, Florida A. &M. Rated Tops In Nation
Baseball is gone at last and
King Football now reigns all
alone on the sports scene. On the
college gridiron next week, some
beautiful early season records are
due to take a tumble as the com
petition begins to get rough.
In this week’s contests, several
crucial games are scheduled with
the top battles pitting once tied
Tennessee State against unbeaten
and untied West Virginia State.
In the Pigskin Huddle’s rating
Tennessee State and West Vir
ginia State rate only a shade be
low top rated Southern and Fla.
A&M. The Tennessee State Tig
ers are tough every year. This
year they appear to be almost a
super team. Their lone tie was
with Lincoln (Mo.) which has an
undefeated string going from last
year. The Yellow Jackets are
good, too, but they do not face the
competition the Tigers meet. It
will be Tennessee State bringing
the Yellow Jackets down from the
clouds.
Florida A&M’s Rattlers will
face their severe test of the sea
son when they, meet Morris
Brown’s Purple Wolverines. It
will be homecoming for Famcee
and a good one, too. Morris Brown
is good, but cannot win the big
ones.
Southern will have an easy
romp over Arkansas AM&N.
Lincoln, Mo., rated with Ten
nessee State, will have a tough
job Saturday with a vastly im
proved Langston Lions eleven.
They play in Kansas City. Mo.,
and Lincoln should win.
Others rated among the
Huddle’s “baker’s dozen” teams
besides the above teams are
Grambling, North Carolina col
lege, Maryland State, A&T, South
Carolina State and Morgan. Pre
dictions for their games this
week are:
Grambling to have no trouble
whatsoever with Bishop, North
Carolina college to have a real
struggle before downing Virgin
ia State in a game that could go
the other way; A&T to have lots
of fun at the expense of Shaw;
South Carolina State to umble
over Clark, and Morgan to have
smooth sailing over Howard.
Teams claiming higher ratings
include the Prairie View Panth
ers, the Xavier Gold Rush, Texas
Southern and possibly Mississip
sippi Industrial and Bethune-
Cookman.
Prairie View faces Wiley Mon
day, Oct. 19 in the annual State
Fair Classic in Dallas, Tex. The
Panthers should have an easy
night. Xavier will play an inhos
pitable host to Tougaloo; TSU
will take care of Jackson and Be
thune-Cookman should roll over
Benedict.
In CIAA tilts it sheuld be
Hampton over Winston-Salem;
Lincoln, Pa. to have happy home
coming over Virginia Union;
Johnson C. Smith over Delaware
State and St. Augustine’s keep
ing St. Paul’s losing streak intact.
Alcorn, which will dedicate its
new stadium, will upset Texas
college; Paul Quinn will wreck
Jarvis; Tuskegee will please
homecoming fans by taking
Knoxville, Fort Valley will up
set Alabama A&M and Albany
State will stop Paine.
In other tilts it will be Florida
N&I over Claflin; Kentucky State
outplaying Layne; Central State
swamping Bluefield; Elizabeth
City stalling Livingstone, and
Philander Smith stopping Ark
ansas M&I. Then, Fayetteville
should take care of Norfolk State;
Fisk should wallop Dillard, and
Savannah State should whip Mor
ris. .

Appear Here

famous advertising personality.
Robert Anthony to Miami next
week to launch the 1953 edition
