Looking ’em over in practice for Saturday’s home feature with the
,, star t herry Point Marines is North Carolina’s Head Coach Gene
McEver and 21-pound veteran Tom Lane. Big Tom turned in one of
the best games of his career down at Georgia Tech last week-end, and
the fast-improving Tar Heels are working to be at their best for Cher
ry Point, which is also strong in starters, but short on reserves.
{ SPORTS TRAIL.!
BV WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, Oct. 11 —(^-Phil
adelphia will have to move over.
St. Louis has qualified as a city
of brotherly love.
When two baseball teams from
the same town can play for the
big apple in six well-contested
games and leave the atmosphere
as pure and unsullied by the fumes
of sulphuric remarks and bitter in
vective as they found it, the mil
lenium seems to have come.
Here were two teams that, by
all that is natural, should be rivals
to the point of hostility, as there
is no rivalry greater than one with
in the family circle.
The least you could expect
would be for the managers to issue
hourly pre-game bulletins inform
ing the world they were out to
dunk the opposition into the neutral
waters of the Mississippi, and for
the players to go about mumbling
threats of Mayhem.
And the umpires! Those peace
loving souls so often called heels
might be expected to need, ear
plugs, gas masks and vest-pocket
| gimmicks to withstand the verbal
and physical abuse that would be
heaped on them every time they
called a man out who was out by
less than six feet.
S Well, this conception of what
might happen turned out to be all
wrong. The Cards and Browns
turned out to be teams of panty
waists with the loudest individual
squawk of the whole series coming
irom the rusty pipes of a vendor
hawking peanuts on the upper
deck.
The rival teams were bowing and
scraping all over the place in an
Alphonse and Gaston act right out
of Emily Post, with the rival
managers, such turculant rivals
that they shared the same apart
ment during the season, meeting
each other coming and going in
swing-shift fashion, setting the
example by trying to bow each
other out of the joint headquarters,
with Billy Southworth finally winn
ing and withdrawing.
It is doubtful if there ever before
was a series thus staged without a
hint of a row between the rival
teams or between players and um
pires, and we have an idea that the
astounded arbiters, after glancing
around apprehensively the first few
times they called close decisions,
settled back to enjoy this new
peace and quiet to the utmost.
We’ve seen several World series,
but none without its verbal clawing
to a greater or lesser degree, as
such events usually find the play
ers with their nerves exposed, and
even docile Frankie Crosetti of the
Yankees a couple of years ago
gabbed and pushed his way into
banishment for the first month of
the following season.
But the latest series, which
might have been expected to pro
duce some vivid fireworks, didn’t
produce a tossed match. Which is
all right, too, as the quality of a
ball game isn’t judged by the dis
putes, and because a player isn't
yapping at every decision and tak
ing roundhouse sings at opponents
doesn’t mean he isn’t in there try
ing. Maybe the Browns and Cards
should get a plaque or something.
JOHNNY WALKER LOST
TO CAROLINA ELEVEN
CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 11. —(£>)_
Johnny Walker, star guard has
been lost to Carolina for the Cher
ry Point game here Saturday, but
the loss was offset by return of
Pete Maronic and the good work
of Ed Twohey.
; The Tar Heels continued heavy
*ork today for the flashy Marines.
Walker s injury was not serious
but he is not expected to play Sat
urday. His place will probably be
taken by Maronic or Ed Twohey.

FAVORITE JUVENILE
STEADILY IMPROVES
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. — <A>> —
When the winter books start offer
ing odds on the 1945 Kentucky Der
by. you might do worse than risk
a buck on Pot o’ Luck.
Warren Wright’s colt from Calu
ment farm has no such glamor or
record as Walter M. Jeffords’ un
beaten Pavot, retired champ ol
the 1944 juveniles. The lightly-cam
paigned bounding bay is a fall de
velopment ,and never won a race
until last Saturday when he made
his sixth start a winning one in
Belmont’s mile champagne stakes.
But, barring mishaps, there are
reasons why he might be the dar
ling of the derby, come next
spring. He is trained by Ben Jones,
who has won three derbies to steal
Col. E. R. Bradley’s thunder in re
cent years.

RAMBLERS PACKED
WITH GRID STARS
Mustang Mentor Says He’s
Meeting a Great Team
Saturday.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 11.
W Coaches of the two teams that
have met Randolph Field’s mighty
Ramblers this season call them the
greatest aggregation of stars they
ever saw. J
Said Jess Neely, whose Rice
Owls were smothered 59-0: ’T
don’t recall ever seeing a football
team with so many stars. We dar
ed think we might play Randolph
a good game because the Ramblers
mlght not want to play their very
best and might not be in the sharp
est condition. We learned other
wise.”
Opined Dana Bible, whose Uni
versity of Texas Longhorns were
beaten 42-6: “Randolph Field has
the individuals for one of ihe great
est football teams of all time. The
only question in my mind is: Will
these men have the old college
urge all season? It is the greatest
collection of stars I ever saw but
I have seen better teamwork- if
Randolph Field gets well-coordinat
ed and keeps its victory spirit well
coaching wou d have a lot fewer
worries if I had a team like that.”
Up at Dallas Coach Jimmie Stew
art of Southern Methodist Univer
sity, whose Mustangs play Ran
dolph here Saturday night, said he
thought he should be allowed two
teams on the gridiron. “It will take
a nine-man line, six guys to back
it up and seven to take care of
the passes,” he moaned.

FERREE CLAIMS
SOUTH ABUSED
RALEIGH, Oct. 11.—(if)—A. I.
Ferree, Republican nominee for
governor, said in an address pre
pared for delivery here tonight
that “the South has been kicked
about like a red-neaded step
child as a reward for its faithful
delivery of the electorial vote to
the Democratic party and the
New Deal.”
The GOP nominee spoke at a
rally of Wake county Republicans
held in the county court house.
The speech was broadcast.
“The South has faithfully given
its electoral vote to the New Deal
administration, yet a greater part
of the relief and recovery ex
penditures doled out under the
New Deal went to northern, and
Western sections of the country
in the’*-" furtherance of political
returns.
“If you are puzzled about the
Democratic South receiving so
little from a Democratic adminis
tration, bear in mind that when
political managers allot the
spending of campaign funds, they
never spend money in a state
where they are certain to win
or certain to lose. The west is
doubtful, or at least is needed
for victory at the polls. Conse
yuently it received the gretaer
portion of the New Deal’s relief
funds.”

Hitch-Hiker Declares
Car Driver Robbed Him
Jeff B. Johnson, native of Texas,
was held up in Brunswick county
last night by a man with whom
he had ridden from Montgomery,
Ala., and robbed of $192, accord
ing to his report to the Sheriff’s
office here last night.
Johnson told sheriff’s deputies
that he was hitch-hiking from
Texas and had caught a ride with
an unidentified person in Mont
gomery, and rode with him until
they were about three miles from
Wilmington. He said the driver
asked him if he cared to drive.
When he stepped out to go around
the car to the driver’s seat, the
man pulled an automatic pistol
on him and took his money, he

Tar Heels Improving
W ith Added Strength
CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 11.—Peter
Maronic, whose brother, Steve,
was an all-American here in 1938,
is due back in the North Carolina
line for Saturday’s feature home
scrap with the all-star Cherry
Point Marines.
The kickoff is set for 3 p. m.,
and a large turnout is expected to
see the fast improving Tar Heels
and the Leathernecks, who made
such a hit with the fans in their
earlier game with Preflight here.
Maronic, who did some excellent
work in the Wake Forest game,
missed both the Army and Geor
gia Tech trips, and his return is
expected to bolster the middle of
the Tar Heel line considerably.
The promising 190-pound rookie
will also add needed weight at
guard and will release Sam Hay,
who was one of the stars at Tech,
for duty at tackle.
This key position was formerly
short on reserves, but Coach Gene
McEver now may choose his start
ers from Big Bill Smith, Miami
John Kinsey, veteran Tom Lane,
and Hay, with Tom Abell and Ed
Koffenberger left for relief duty.
The guard posts also look fairly
well fortified, thanks to Johnny
Walker, Edwin Golding, Arthur
Collins, Ed Twohey, and Maronic,
but the Tar Heels may need all
the strength they can get in the
middle and then some.
Hugo Marcolini, the 198-pound
human battering ram literally tore
the N. C. Preflight line to pieces
in his former appearance here,
and the Marines have a new back
fielder named Johnny August who
is said to be even more danger
ous.
Coaches Gene and Macauley Mc
Ever are also working over the
whole play of their ends, line-back
ers, and secondary, as the Marines
have several star scatters and
pitchers, and they use a wide-open
Notre Dame T system.
Linemen Smith, Walker, and
Gilliam have been working lightly
due to minor hurts, but all hands
are due to be ready Saturday, in
cluding Bobby Weant, Jack Fos
ter, Bob Warren, Art Lowe, Jim
Camp, and the other main offen
sive guns.
Both Cherry Point and Carolina
are known as classy first teams,
but neither has had much chance
to show its real strength due to
stiff schedules and lack of re
serves, and the rivals stack up on
near even terms for a swell scrap
here Saturday.
DEACONS HOLD
LONG SESSION
wake Forest, oct. 11.—<£’>—
In an effort to correct defects in
his team’s performances in three
previous games, Coach Peahead
Walker sent his Wake Forest Dea
cons through a long session of
blocking today.
Individual blocking in the line
and secondary was stressed for the
major part of the session, and
Walker said his undefeated squad
was showing improvement. An
other heavy workout was sched
uled for tomorrow.
Rock Brinkley was switched
back to the first string fullback
post today to replace Buck Ma
bry, former Lenoir-Rhyne star who
has a slight chest cold. Mabry was
selected to start the game against
Maryland and turned in a good
game. Brinkley has scored 25
points this season.
The squad as a whole was in
good shape with the exception of
Nick Sacrinty who still was nurs
ing a leg injury and may not start
against VMI at Greensboro in a
night game Saturday. -His tailback
spot is being handled alternately
by Nick Ognovich and Bob Fetzer.

Engineers Start Work
On Swash Defense Dam
(Continued from Page One)
Army engineers also completed
repairs to the government-owned
highway bridge across the Inland
Waterway, Norfolk to Beaufort
inlet, at Coinjock. The bridge was
damaged during the hurricane of
September 14, when a ,tug lost
control of its tow which struck
the bridge, moving it slightly from
its foundation.
Plans are also being prepared,
Major Werner said, to strengthen
the left bank of the Cape Fear
river below Lock No. 1 at Kings
Bluff and below Lock No. 2 at
Elizabethtown, by placing riprap
where the currents coming over
the dams have caused erosion.
Twenty-two hundred and 40 tons
of stone will be placed in the bank
below Dam No. 1 and 3,024 tons
below Dam No. 2.
The work will be started within
a few days and will be done by
government plant and hired la
bor. The estimated cost is $33,500.
Work will be started shortly
on dredging in Beaufort harbor,
Morehead City harbor, waterway

• With the movement of the entire

Bucks T ake Xo Chances;
With ^Foreign9 Stull
By HAROLD HARRISON
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11. —(TP)—
Cairo 1 Widdoes, acting head foot
ball coach at Ohio State University
said today the Bucks will haul 50
gallons of Columbus drinking water
some 400 miles to Madison, Wis.,
where they meet the University of
Wisconsin Saturday.
Two years ago Ohio State won
the Big Ten championship and the
unofficial national title, but mar
ring the record was a 17 to 7 beat
ing at the hands of Wisconsin at
Madison.
Ohio’s never quite gotten over
that.
It seems that something—Wid
doe* and other members of the
coaching staff say it apparently
was the water—made "practically
every member of the team” 111.
The fact the regulars couldn’t
stay in the ball game plus the play
of a pretty fair Wisconsin team
combined to keep Ohio State from
a perfect season.
For weeks now Buck officials
have closed each mention of the
Wisconsin game with the comment
"and we’re going to take our own
water.”
That’s just what they’re going
to do. Widdoe* said the home town
drinking water would be rationed
out to the boys and they’ll be warn
ed to stay awajr from any of that
“foreign” stuff.
The Bucks, 36 strong, will leave
here tomorrow and to avoid a re
petition of more trouble they had
two years ago—the pre-game hilar
ity of the fans—they’ll spend Fri
day night at Janesville, Wis.
Both Wisconsin and Ohio State
are undefeated thus far. Three Ohio
State linemea are on the injured
list but Widdoes said today he ex
pected them to be able to^ee at
least part time action- They are

CATS PREPARE
FOR EARTHQUAKES
Captain And Star Wing*
back Lowrimore Miss
ing From Line-up.
By WEDDELL HARRISS
The New Hanover Wildcats wer#
put through a light practice ses
sion yesterday in preparation for
their forthcoming tilt with the
Goldsboro Earthquakes at Legion
Stadium Friday night. The ’Cats
had comparatively light practices
this week, as Coach Bryan iS al
lowing them to recover from in
juries sustained in previous games.
The entire New Hanover squad
is expected to be in shape for the
affray tomorrow night, with the
exception of their captain and star
wingback, Jack Lowrimore. Lowri
more was severely injured In the
Rocky Mount engagement, and
will not be able to take the field
until a later date.
Eyes Sutton, f 1 a shy Wildcat full
back and J. W. Johnson, scrappy
reserve wingback were alternated
in the wingback slot in place of
Lowrimore, and David Bannerman
who turned in an exceptional good
performance in last week's encoun
ter, will take over the fullback
slot in the absence of Sutton.
The remainder of the line-up for
the ’Cats remains the same. On
the ends will be Louise Hanson and
Charlie Jones; in the tackle posi
tions are John Hobbs and Ned
Dowd, in the guard slots will be
Graham Barefoot and Happy Cor.
bett; and at center, Norris Monk.
In the backfieid will be Banner
man ..t fullback, Johnny Symmes
I in the quarterback slot; Weddell
Harriss at blocking back, and ei
ther Winford Sutton or J- W. John
son in the wing back position.
The Goldsboro aggregation, under
the tutorage of Coach Durham,
presents a serious threat to the
Wilmington club. Little is known
of the visitors, except that they run
from both a single and double wing
and a tricky offense. Also they re
portedly have developed their aer
ial attack into a constant threat,
forcing their opponents on their
toes continually throughout th«
game.

13. S. And British Forces
Gaining Little In Italy
ROME, Oct. 11. —UP) —Wet end
muddy American troops prodded
the stubborn Germans south of Bo
logna today but the enemy was
far from being out. of the hills
before that big communications
center and there were no signs
that the Germans were ready to
write off Italy in their campaign
book.
The Americans reached the
southern outskirts of the town of
Livergnano, 11 miles south of Bo
logna on highway 65 but a new
hill loomed beyond and ihe Ger
mans were sitting on it well en
trenched.
It wa^ the same story with the
British troops, both with the Fifth
and Eighth armies: small gains
scored here and there then new
mud and new hills.
