AS NFL Opens 7 omorrow
By the Associated Press

The National Football League
opens its 1862 season tomorrow
with the Green Bay Packers
and Cleveland Browns favored
by many to wind UP in Decem-
ber's championship game.
In schedule drawn up with
the help of an electric COM
puter. the Eastern Division is
putting its four strongest teams
against one another in g.
week. round robin-type sched-
ule that will find the Browns
entertaining the defending
Eastern champion New York
Giants and the Philadelphia
Eagles playing host to st. Louis
tomorrow.
Defending NIL champion
Green Bay has things more or
less its own way in the Western
Division and will open at home
against the Minnesota Vikings
as strong 17-point favorites.
Pittsburgh at Detroit
Two other contenders, Detroit
and Pittsburgh, meet in an
inter-conference game in De-
troit, while Washington and
Dallas play in Dallas, Los
Angeles visits troubled Balti-
more and the San Francisco
49ers entertain the Chicago
Bears.
The American League sched-
ule has Denver at Buffalo to-
night and New York playing at
San Diego and Houston at
Boston tomorrow.
While the league decided to
start its 43d season with elec-
tronic assistance, Cleveland
Coach Paul Brown decided to
do away with his system Of
calling the Browns plays from
the bench and will let Quarter
back Jim Ninowski have full
charge on the field.
The system worked to a SO
exhibition record and Ninowski,
one of a host of new faces in
Cleveland, will get the chance
to put it into action for keeps
against the Giants still-strong
defense.

trast to the 6-foot-4 Gabriel,
these two are So and 5-10, re-
spectively. Both weigh less than
ITO. Neither has lettered and
Edwards says the offense will
be geared to what they can do,
which undoubtedly means it
will be simplified.
Instead of spreads and flank
ers. Edwards plans to tighten
his backfield to get more block
ers ahead of the ball carrier.
The fullbacks, Roger Moore
and Dave Houtz, are ZOO
Founders and veterans. They'll
provide an up the middle
threat and block for Koszarsky,
the diveback, and Scarpati, the
wingback.
Edwards gives the idea that
he'd almost prefer this type of
team to one which had Gabriel.
"A passing offense is a delicate
thing in college," he says. "A
lot of things can go wrong. The
running game is a sounder way
to operate basically."
Interior Green
States starting line will have
experience in the interior, but
Don Montgomery is the only
letterman end. There are three
veteran tackles, three veteran
guards and two lettermen CEN
ters. The best are Bert Wilder,
a tackle, and Skip Matthews, q
guard and captain.
1t is not a particularly large
line, or particularly quick, and
that may be another reason
Edwards rates this club as q
question mark. Football is
mostly a man-to-man opera
tion," he says. IF most of youl
men dominate the man they
are up against. your chances Of
winning are good. If not, you're
going to spend some long after

The w olfpack opens with

that's a stiff assignment for g

In addition to a full slate Of
conference rivals, it also plays

fense, Edwards is simply going
to swing the emphasis from the
air to the ground and depend
on two men instead.
The two are Halfbacks Tony
Koszarsky and Joe Scarpati. a
pair of juniors who are billed
as the best one-two running
punch since the days of Dick
Christy and Dick Hunter.
Coach Likes Pair
Il like these two real well" !"
Edwards says. II don't know
that either is as fast or as big
as Christy, but both are bigger
than Hunter"
Christy and Hunter sparked
the Wolfpack to the Atlantic
Coast Conference championship
in 1857. but no one here is max
ing such extravagant claims.
This club has only eight sem
iors, and it probably win have
to struggle to even match last
years AS mark.
While inexperience seems an
obvious problem, it may not be
quite as bad as it sounds. What
N. c. State has is mostly q
junior team. There are no soph-
omores on the first unit and
only four on the second pla-
toon.
When Edwards discusses the
possible drawbacks, he seems
particularly concerned with his
deep defenders. He says the de-
parture of Tom Dellinger. his
ace safetyman, may be felt as
much as the loss of Gabriel.
Inexperience at Quarterback
IF you make a mistake or
offense," Edwards says, you
may not gain, but at least you
get a couple of more chances
On defense, if you make a mis-
take, the next thing you usually
do is line up for the extra
point"
Extensively, the inexperience
will show mostly at quarter
back. With Gabriel around, nc
one else logged much signal
calling time. The quarterbacks
now are Bill Kriger, a senior
and Jim Rossi. a Junior. In con-

Segregated Turnpike Restaurants
Attacked By Legal Defense Fund

New York : Segregated high
way restaurants licensed by a
state turnpike authority have been
attacked in court by the NAACP
Legal Defense and Educational
Fund.
The Defense Fund action, filed
in the federal district court for
the Southern District of Florida
in Miami on March /, asks that
the Hot >Shoppes restaurants OPP
Grating on the Florida Turnpike
be enjoined from serving Negroes
in segregated areas and from pro-
viding segregated rest room fa-
cilitieS.
A hearing on a Defense Fund
motion for preliminary injunction
is scheduled for Monday, March
II.
The Fund complaint argues that
segregated services in restaurants
licensed by state turnpike auth
ority constitutes a denial of the
rights of Negro citizens under the
equal protection clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the U.
s. Constitution.

NAACP Lawyers Study
Appeal In Prince
Edward Co. Case

New York = NAACP General
Counsel Robert L. Carter this week
announced a forthcoming confer
enee of NAACP lawyers in Virgil
MIA to determine what further
steps will be taken to reopen the
public schools of Prince Edward
County, in light of the decision of
the Virginia State Supreme Court
of Appeals that the county is under
no constitutional mandate to main
tain free public schools.
"We are confident" said Mr..
Carter, that this decision, handed
down in Richmond on March 5,
"is in error in both a legal and
constitutional sense The only ques-
tion to be decided is what route
to take on appeal. We may pro-
ceed in the Federal court, or we
may make application for a re-
hearing before the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals as a nee
essary preliminary step to apply
ing for review in the Supreme
Court of the United States.
In unanimous decision the Vir-
ginia court rejected the NAACP
petition for a writ of mandamuS
ordering the Board of Supervisors
of Prince Edward County to levy
taxes to operate public schools.
The county schools have been
closed since SO to circumvent Fed
eral District Court desegregation
order. Private schools were eS-
'tablished for some 1900 white
children. The county's 100 Negro
children have been without schools
during the three-year period.
The power to levy taxes for
school purposes, the Virginia court
held, is discretionary, not manda-
tory. 1T is not our function" the
decision says, here to say whether
the action of the Board of Super
visors of Prince Edward County in
refusing to make these appropri-
ations is proper, wise, or desirable.
Our duty is merely to determine
whether it may be compelled to
do so by a writ of mandamus. In
our view it may not be so COM
PEELED"
Commenting on the ruling, Mr..
Carter said: Although conceding
that the State is under a constitu-
tiora1 mandate to establish and
mainain public free schools
throughout the state, the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals holds
that the judiciary may not COM
lpel the Board of Supervisors of
Prince Edward County to levy
and appropriate public funds for
that purpose. In short, while the
Boards constitutional duty is re-
cognized, the judiciary is power
less to compel its performance"

NAACP Leader In Miss.
Framed. Says wilkins

New York = The conviction of
Aaron Henry, Mississippi state
president of the National Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, was denounced here
this week by NAACP Executive
Roy wilkins as a ''frame-up cal
culated to intimidate civil rights
fighters in that state. /"
Mr.. Henry, a Clarksdale pharma-
cist. was convicted on March IA
in a Shelby, Miss, Justice Of the
Peace Court on charges Of making
immoral advances toward a teen
age white boy. He was sentenced
to six months Imprisonment and
fined $500. He Immediately filed
a $1,000 appeal bond.
"This despicable charge was
brought against Mr.. Henry in line
with Mississippi'S program OF
smearing, harassing and seeking to
intimidate NAACP leaders and
other freedom fighters" Mr.. Will
kins said.
Several months ago Mr.. Henry
and other NAACP leaders had
been arrested in Clarksdale be-
cause of their leadership in the
boycott against merchants who
discriminate against Negro acuSto-
nerS. \
The objective of this persecution,
Mr.. Wilkins said, lis to frighten
the NAACP membership and to
suppress the civil rights move
ment in Mississippi. But, no mat
tef what they do to the leaders, this
movement cannot be suppressed
because Negro citizens of MisSiSs-
ippi are not afraid.
Representing Mr.. Henry at the
trial on March Ia were NAACP
General Counsel Robert l.. Carter
Of New York City and Jess Brown
of Jackson. The trial, before l85-
