Tr aiming Center
Opening Stalled
For The Present
Success Noted
In Two Other
Negro Projects

Efforts for an early opening of
training centers for Negro chill
dren in Prince Edward county
have been stalled. the Rev. L.
r. Griffin, spokesman for the
sponsors of the morale building
program, reported today.
Sixteen centers. ten more than
operated last spring, were due to
open between September 80 and
October 1. Mr.. Griffin. president
OF the Prince Edward County
Christian Association, local spor-
sor Of the project. now sees an
opening as late as November.
Mr.. Griffin, also local coordi-
nator for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, hopes for an October
opening. He said. I'VE are going
to try very hard to get the pro-
gram underway before this
month is out, but it may be No
vember before we get going"
Two Delaying Factors
The delay was attributed to
two things. His association has
been very busy assisting parents
who requested help in sending
their children to school elsewhere
in the nation. Also, the organiza-
ton is undertaking a survey to
determine schooling needs Of the
Negro children in the county, to
discover how many children have
been sent outside to school
through parental arrangements,
and to see if there are other par
ents interested in sending their
children to school out of the
county.
The two tasks of the associa-
ton delayed the opening Of the
centers. but some success in the
aid and survey projects has been
scored, according to the Negro
spokesman.
The association coordinated the
placement of Sc chill drcn in
schools, AZ through the American
Friends Service Committee spon-
sorship and 81 at the high school
division of Kittren Junior College
in North Carolina. The Kittrell
students are sponsored with aid
from the local Negro unit. and
are recipients of scholarships
from the school.
Total Not Known
The exact number of Negro
children enrolled out of the coun-
ty is not known at the present,
but Mr.. Griffin estimated the
number at 200 or more. In adj
dition to the 60 actually placed,
some Negro parents have made
private arrangements. Some have
moved to neighboring enrolment
The Prince Edward enrolment
at Kittrell is down from the 81
who went there the first year
public schools were closed in the
county. A jump from tn q there
now is anticipated by Mr.. Grit
fin.
Some 1900 children have been
classified in the survey being
conducted by the center spon-
sors. Details of the survey are
being withheld pending its COM
pletion.
Names of students and the
schools they are attending in
other areas of the state and else
where will be released upon COM
pletion of the survey, the project
chairman indicated.

lar to those operated for white
children in the county have been
turned down on several oc-
caSionS.

Tactics Shifted
A wet day and two fatal inter
ceptlons on the books, the Hamp-
den Sydney Tigers abandoned
their passing attack in favor of
the ground early in the third
period.
Coach Fulton S Tigers took over
on their own AZ and ten plays
later right half Lewis Everette
scored on a sweep to the right
from seven yards out. Charlie
Sears carried the ball four times
for y yards. and a 13-yard pass
from Shelton to left half Fred

kick didn't click.

quarter deep in foreign territory

Cilmer, Schmidt
Lead Academy In
3l-2l Win Friday
Stout Buckingham
Defense Adds To
Tough Battle

Buckingham threw up a stub
born defense in the first half Of
their game with Prince Edward
Academy Friday night allowing
the powerful Wolverines only two
tonchdowns before the half.
In the Scond half the Bucca-
llecls Iounu their way to the goal
line ard matched the Academy
three touchdoWnS to three in the
f'ral half of play. Buckingham
also made all three extra points,
losing to the Academy by a score
Of ol-2l.
Botbv Gilmer and Bobby
Schmidt. jet twins for the VOL
verines, provided the "all-the-
way running that kept the large
crowd on their feet most Of the
game. Buckingham fans got their
share of cheering as Garland
Swartz, Garland Station and
Bobby Lindsey did some fancy
broken field running to provide
the BUGS with their offensive
thrust. Taylor Duty, pounding
Buckingham fullback, was the
workhorse for the Buccaneers.
In the first quarter, the aroused
Buckingham eleven stopped re-
peated attempts of the favored
Academy to score. The first
Academy drive was stopped on
the Is yard line of Buckingham.
Taylor Duty booted the ball out
to the "A.
Skeeter Fore connected with
pavter Carter on a pass play and
Gilmer moved in with first
down. Fore tried another pass
but was trapped way behind his
line and he attempted to lateral
to Schmidt. The lateral went hay
wire and the alert BUGS recov-
cred on their So.
Buckingham was unable to get
a sustained offensive underway
and were forced to kick, as the
game see-sawed back and forth.
First Score
Early in the second quarter,
Gilmer carried to the Bucking-
ham So. Larry Green, the Acade-
my charging fullback, moved to
the 81, and Schmidt picked a
first down on the "a. It looked
like sure score for the Acade-
my, but Swartz broke up the
drive with a pass interrogation on
the II yard line.
Buckingham was forced to kick
again, and Duty got off a. short
punt that went out on the 80. Gill
mer quickly moved to the IS, and
Schmidt drove to the six. A pen
atty moved the ball to the one
yard line and Larry Green plow-
ed through center for the score.
Gilmer added the extra point.
The next time the Academy got
possession of the ball they scored
again. They took over on the mid
field stripe, and on the first play
from Scrimmage Gilmer exploded
oft tackle for Is yards and the
score. The PAT try was no good,
and the first half ended with the
Academy ahead 1870.
In the third quarter Bucking-
ham made their first offensive
threat but did not score as the
stout Academy line held. Paul
Simpson. Johnny Martin and
Donnie Cook provided the defen-
sive play that stopped the Bucca-
neer drive on the Academy 20
yard line.
Fore moved the ball to the
Academy 80 on a quarterback
keep-it play. Gilmer then took a
hand off and shook off three
tacklers as he spurted for the 68
