power to smother helpless Rust
College 1O1 to 0 here on sun
baked field last Saturday after
noon. The Devils were just un-
stapled in their touchdown parade.
From every corner of the field the
green and white galloped over the
white stripes of the gridiron.
The first half saw MVC scoring
seven times with the halftime score
ending 46-0.
With the opening on the second
half the picture did not change.
MVC continued to march on their
way to the three diget figure.
Helpless Rust fought courageously
but the manhandling strength of
the Devils was just too much. All

one first down.
Scoring touchdowns for MVC
were: Cason, Robinson, Higgins,
Lindsey, Persely, Brown, Dervin,
Leach and Sammy Brown.

Delta Devils
Prep For Tigers

ITTA BENA, Sept. "a. The
fighting Delta Devils of Missis-
sippi Vocational College began a
firm gridiron practice for their
oncoming encounter against their
arch rival Jackson College at Mag
nolia Stadium this coming Satur-
day.
MVC's coaches seem to think that
the game will be one of their big
gest obstacles of the season. In
previous years the Devils have al
ways had tough contest on hand
when they met the Tigers from
Jackson.
AS the series stand, Jackson has
won two games and Mississippi Vo-
cational College one. The opening
game was played in 1853 with
Jackson winning 7-6. The 1854
season saw MVC winning 1873 and
Jackson taking the rubber game in
1855 TO. Head Coach Mcpherson
and the Devils will be out to even
the score.
The Jackson-MVC game has
drawn a considerable crowd over
the years and usually provides one
of the most colorful games in this
area. A tremendous crowd is ex-
pected to be on hand to witness
| the contest.
An interesting oddity about the
contest is that Coach Mcpherson
of MVC and Coach Merritt of Jack
son are both from the same home
town, Louisville, KY. They attend
ed high school at Central before
separating to go to college, Nc
Pherson attended Tennessee State

members of the narcotics squad
arresting him early last Wednes-

According to police, 200 capsules

last Tuesday. And the officers hid
out in the vicinity of the dope cache
for nearly 10 hours awaiting the

The officers said that Carter was
apprehended as he arrived on the

scored upon by the opposition this
season and has the speed, weight

the Devils have a terrific scoring

Sincerity

The conviction among the more
experienced political observers of
the American political scene here
is that the basic question in this
campaign is one of sincerity. 1t
isn't foreign policy or fiscal poll
cy 1t isn't farm policy or labor
policy. 1t isn't social security or
the racial indignation of our public
schools.
All these things are important,
but they are not basic While
candidates and politicians discuss
and debate these matters, and the
air and the press are full of
charges and counter-charges, none
of these is basic Despite the clash
of paid propaganda and publicity,
the fundamental question still
seems to be in which candidate and
which party can the American
people as whole believe; which
candidate can they really trust?
Naturally, the Republicans think
they have the answer to that
clearly, they say, Eisenhower
In support of this view is cited
the fact that, although the Presi-
dents opponents have now begun
a virulent personal attack upon
him, and recently the Messrs. Tru-
man, Stevenson and Kefauver have
become abusive, accusative and vi
client, they have not personally as
sailed his sincerity. With Mr. Tru-
man clearly leading the other two,
in the last few days they have tried
to make the President out a tool
of the special interests" (Which

his country: that he had not been

only for perjury" That was all
it was" he said. This, of course, is
too ridiculous to be seriously taken.
And Senator Mundt, of South Da-
kota, has demanded that the good
