Suppose Q is a q-group for a prime q and C ≦ Aut(Q) is cyclic of order pe for a prime pq. Let k be a splitting field for CQ, the semidirect product of C by Q, of characteristic rq. Let V be a faithful irreducible k[CQ]-module. The k[CQ]-module V has been widely studied. When r = p the situation outlined above is similar to the situation occurring in the proof of Theorem B of Hall and Higman [3]. When rp it is similar to the corresponding theorem of Shult [5]. In all but restricted cases V|C has a regular k[C]-direct summand.
