The ’Cats, still smarting from the 7-6 defeat handed them last Friday night by the Charleston Cooper River Blue Devils, are determined to break into the win column when they tangle with the highly touted Rocky Mount Blackbirds at Legion Stadium Friday night at 8 o’clock. The Rocky Mount contest is the first conference game TAR HEELS DRILL UNTIL NIGHTFALL CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 1. — OT — With blocking back Joe Wright apd center A1 Bernot still on the sick list aqd doubts existing that they would be able to make the trip to Austin, Carolina’s Tar Heels worked until darkness this afternoon putting in some of their last licks for the Texas invasion. Co-captain Wright, suffering with a reaction from penicillin, was some better today but was unable to work. Bernot was in light togs on the sidelines. Don Hartig, who alternated with Wright last year, will start against Texas if the Asheville boy is unable to play. Coach Carl Snavely sent his top teams through a dummy scrim mage and worked the lower units late m a full scrimmage to help determine the personnel of his traveling squad. He was still un decided tonight on the exact group which will leave by plane from the Raleigh-Durham air port Friday morning. for the Brogden Boys and from all indications the Wildcats are making all possible preparations to start the conference wars off with a victory. Last year the locals managed to eke out a 6 to 0 victory over the ’Birds in a hard foo.ght bat tle. Both clubs are reported to be in good condition for the scrap and a bang up gridiron tussle has been forecast. Yesterday afternoon the field was full of players and the air wa6 full of footballs as the coaches ran their charges through all the plays in the book. Scrim mage, passing, punting, T form ation drills and other tactics employed on the g idiron were given to the lads. Another sham battle is slated for this afternoon as the Wild cat coaches strive to whip the squad into tip top condition for the all important conference bat tle. The Blackbirds, under the crafty coaching of E. E. Adkins, are expected to operate from the single-wing and short punt formation. With this in mind Brogden has been spending a lot of time devising a method of stopping the Blackbirds. Coach Overman Has Light, But Fast Team At Wallace BY JOHN SIKES WALLACE, Oct. 1 — During this particular tour of duty I’m J supposed to keep you informed ; about the goings on of the Wal lace Tobacco Market, which I believe to be a sort of promised ! land for farmers who’re looking for the well-known and cliched top or high dollar for their to bacco. But I think it’s about time j somebody was telling you about | the Wallace High School football jteam. So-o-o-o, here you are: To'be ( gin with most of the boys who’d ordinarily go out for football and other sports around here begin almost from the cradle in the fairly important life busi ness of making a living. Don’t get me wrong. I do not mean that these boys don’t have the same cracks at extra-curricular activities as the boys in Wil mington, say, do. I do mean, though, that a good many of them start out pretty young to learn all about how to make good tobacco, cucumbers, corn, and a lot of other such items that grow on farms. You see, Wallace, with a pop ulation of around 1,500, is es sentially and primarily a far mer’s town. It is, in fact, one of the best farmer’s towns any where in the State from the standpoint of outlets for agricul tural products and as a trading center. Therefore, Wallace High school draws a great many of its students from the surround ing farm area. And a good many of these students, natural ly, have a lot of farm and other chores to perform. They can’t give their completely undivided attention to football and such matters. Even so, the boys here, under the tutelage of Coach Thell Ov erman, a former Guilford Col lege star who did post-graduate work at Carolina and picked up a lot of coaching know-how from that Old Gray Fox, Carl Snave ley, have been impressive in their first two starts this year. They scored a total of 67 points to nary a one for two opponents. They licked Jacksonville 27 to 0 in their first start and they smashed Warsaw last Friday 40 to 0 . Soaking wet—but without any thing on but their birthday suits —the first team fielded by Coach Overman weighs in at an average of 147 pounds. That’s pretty light in the football busi ness. These youngsters, howev er, make up for their lack of avordupois with speed and alert ness. Coach Overman has taught himself a pretty good quartet of starting backs in Casey, James, Carlton, and Herring. Herring, Jimmy, that is, has developed into a toe artist when it comes getting that extra point after a touchdown. In 10 tries this year he’s booted points eight times. The line is lighter than it pos sibly should be but the boys hanging on to the teachings of Coach Overman, are rapidly learning the tricks of blocking and so far they’ve used these tricks well. What they’ll do when they come up against stronger opposition is something else again. But they haven’t given cause to complain up to now. In the line are Roger Ack erman at right end, Max Morri son at right tackle, Co-Captain Max Sikes at right guard, M. B. Pope, center, Jimmy Powell, left guard, Thomas Townsend left tackle, and Charles Carr at left end. Coach Overman has a high regard, too. for Earl Jones, his tackle replacement who’s seen about as much service as Morrison and Townsend In the line. Next Friday the boys take on Mt. Olive there in an Eastern Central Conference game, Wal lace being one of the eight teams in that conference. The big game of the season will be played in Wallace against Clin ton Oct. 10. Other games on the local schedule this year are La Grange, there, Oct. 17; Burgaw, there, Oct. 24; Selma, here. Oct. 31; Ayden, there, Nov. 7; Farm ville, here, Nov. 14; Steadman, Nov. 21.

Walker, still work ing to instill more offensive drive into his Wake Forest De mon Dee cons in preparation for meeting Clemson Saturday, was encouraged today by the running of two substitute backs. In the offensive drills that took most of the practice time today, Bill Gregus, freshman tailback, and Carl Haggard, wingback, managed to get through for a number of long gains. George Prior, the number one fullback, also made a num ber of nice gains. The Deacons suffered two other injuries during a bruising scrimmage yesterday. Center Harry Clark worked today in light equipment and tackle Ed Royston missed the practice. Both are expected to be in shape for Clemson, however. Clemson Tigers Drill For Wake Forest Tilt CLEMSON, Oct. 1. — WP) — Coach Frank Howard sent the Clemson Tigers through heavy defensive drills here today in preparation for Saturday’s en counter with Wake Forest. Chick Gainer, Tiger tackle,, and left guard Frank Gillespie were line standouts in today’s drill, while Bobby Gage turned in a good performance both in defensively and offensively in the backfield. Fullback Jim Reynolds side stepped rough work today due to bruises received in yesterday’s drill. AUSSIE NET TEAM UNHAPPY IN U. S. SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 2. — (U.R) — Australian singles cham pion Dinny Pails arrived home from the United States by air today and tossed a bombshell into international tennis circles by charging that the Australian Davis cup team was “torn by quarrels and ill feeling.” When it lost to the United States in the challenge round. Pails, curly-haired star who lost two singles matches as the U. S. defeated Australia, four matches to one, specifically accused team mates Jack Bromwich and Geof frey Brown of “not pulling their weight at any time during the tour.” “This matter has got to come out,” shid Pails. “There’s no good saying in our side must have been reflected in our play, for we were an unhappy band from start to finish. “Bromwich and Brown had to be kidded into attending official IF PRETTY GIRLS WOULD ONLY TELL!
