Ronald Lyas should give Hart the necessary assistance at this position, position, strong. GUARDS: Wilburn Jackson, a very fine offensive and defensive player will be expected to begin where he left off last year ater a fine season. Johnny Johnson, a 250lb. guard should give Jackson the needed help. Position airly strong. CENTERS: Leon Joseph, a sophomore who played in just about every game during the 1964-65 season gives the coaches plenty of confidence us they attempt to fill this position. Position, strong. QUARTERBACKS: George Brown, an understudy of Sam Hill for the last two seasons should be ready to take over the reins. Position, experience. BACKS: The Backfield should be the strongest position on the field for the Wolverines. The great running of James Bing and Oswell Jones with any help Horn others should produce one of the best backfields in the conference. Position, strong. SUMMARY: The strength of the Morris Brown Purple. Wolverines should be seen in the backfield. Weakness may be found in the interior line. Coach Powell has indicated that though many of tile positions appear to be weak, but shows promise in the freshman reputations as fine football players. This season should be a very profitable one.

"I never had any intention to defraud the government," he said. Raft, who won movie fame in a series of gangster roles, had been indicted, last week by a federal grand jury on six counts of income tax fusion that involved about $85,000 income between 1958 and 1963. Raft pleaded guilty to count four of the indictment, which charged he reported a 1961 income that was $35,000 less than the income he actually received. He faces a maximum penalty of $5,000 fine and a three year prison sentence. The 69 - year -old actor said he pleaded guilty because the return was false but claimed it was "merely a mistake" in his financial statement. Raft entered the plea during arraignment before U. S. Dist. Judge Pierson Hall, who ordered Raft to return for sentencing Sept. 28. The judge will dispose of the other five counts against Raft at that time. The actor was indicted last Aug. 31 and is free on $100 bond.

In a memorandum to oil NAACP Branch, State Conference and Youth Group presidents, NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins warned that "the next stage of the civil rights struggle is going to be tougher than that of the past. It will require more skill and more discipline," he said. The memorandum, dispatched Sept. 2, outlined the fall and winter goals of the Association. "If there is any No. 1 item, it is the improvement of the education for our children, North and South," Mr. Wilkins told the local NAACP units. "Demonstrate if it becomes necessary, but don't jump into the streets just for exercise or without trying every other method. But above all," he said, "keep up the steady pressure for an active concerned community." The NAACP Director emphasized that the NAACP goal was no longer Just breaking down barriers of discrimination but "with strengthening our group from within, with preparing to use the new laws and new opportunities. "We must wipe out the remaining barriers and the discriminations, both crude and smooth," he said, "but we must add a new emphasis." Specifically, NAACP branches were advised to make sure that the "new law are implemented as to registration and voting, public accommodation, school desegregation, employment and the use of Federal funds." NAACP branches in the South were urged to check continuously on both the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act and to "watch the enforcement of the Federal Aid to Education Act which provides for about one billion dollars as aid to school districts in low income areas." All branches, North and South, will be concentrating on employment discrimination. This will be a top priority problem. Mr. Wilkins said, as unemployment is much higher among Negroes, especially among Negro teenagers. Branches were also urged to gain new members and new funds as "no program, no matter how good, can be carried out without money."
