MISS. STATE
SETS Up BAR FOR
NEGRO STARS

RENO, New. (ANP)-Neveda's
two Negro football stars may up
set plans for the scheduled Neva-
da-Mississippi State football tilt
at Starkville, Miss, on Nov. Is.
Joseph T. Mcdonnell, graduate
manager of the University of Ne
vada team, revealed Tuesday that
Mississippi State athletic officials
had written Neveda's Coach
James Aiken suggesting that ut
would raise an unfortunate COM
motion" if the Negro players,
William Bess and Horace Gillom,
played.
Bess and Gillom, a towering
end who has averaged 81 yards
in punting in five games, have
been mainstays of the Neveda
Wolfpack all season. The schools
athletic board will decide whe-
ther the two star players will be
used against Mississippi State or
whether the game will be cancell-
ed, Mcdonnell said.
Allyn McKeen, Mississippi
State College coach, declined
Tuesday to comment on what Ne
vada might do if the two Negro
stars are not allowed to play.
