OWL’S
EYE
By Ed Mann'
Guest Columnist, Hillard Knight
Saturday November 15 will see more cusin’ and fusin’ about parleys
and upsets, but who am I to worry; I never miss, yak^ yak! except when
I lay a little change down — then I never win — and I suppose that’s the
way it is with everyone.
You would never believe it but there are quite a few teams that have
not been beaten or tied this season. I’ll go on to name a few of the teams
which have a golden horseshoe, around their necks. A few of the unbeaten
are as follows : Michigan, Penn. State, Virginia. Georgia Tech, Utah, So.
Methodist, Notre Dame, So. Oregan, and the Oaklahoma Aggies. Wonder
how they do it, “Owls”? They must have honest referees.
Note;— To the Owls’ Supporters — all three of ’em. Keep it up kids,
you’re doing a swell job; but where are your friends?
The player of the,week: Ed “Smiles” Wilson. Congratulations on your
sterling line play in the Davidson game. “Smiley” wasn't alone in there,
because little but powerful Bob Wilie stayed in Davidson’s backfield more
than their own men. Some one told me they heard him hit that one
fellow all the way to Central Ave.
Eds. Note :— In the last paper we had a team picking. The results
were Hillard gpt eleven, missed three, tied one, cancelled one; Footsie and
I got nine, missed five, tied one, Hillard and I are trying this week.

C. C. Takes First
“Goat” Davis pulled the C. C. U.
N. C. Owls out into the limelight
this past Saturday night when he
high-strutted the home team for an
8-6 win over the Hamlet All-Stars.
Early in the first quarter the
Charlotte boys pulled ahead when
end Carrol York caught Hanna be
hind the Hamlet goaline for a
safety and a 2-0 lead over the
Hamlet Red Devils.
Hamlet started a drive early in
the fourth quarter and clinched it
when Hamlet’s Grayson connected
with a 12-yard pass from Maple >
to roll up the score 6-2.
Just when Coach Footsie Woods
had given up hope for the Charlotte
Center of the University of North
Carolina, Davis cut loose for a 4v
yard sprint to pull the Owls ahead
and win the game with a 8-6 scor*^
The Owls plan to meet their four
th opponent Oct. 12 in Memorial
Stadium, the Applachin Jayvees.
The other two games were defeates
for the Owls with 33-19 loss to

'‘Owls^^ Downed In Final Game
The Appalachian State’s Jayvee’i
proved to be too strong for the
Owls last Wednesday night when
the Mountaineers rolled over the
home team 20-12 in chilled Memf)f'
ial Stadium to an estimated gang
of almost 200.
Fred Boger and Bill Hendrix, two
Charlotte boys, held the spotlight
all night; however they held the
spotlight for the Mountaineers wirh
Hendrix scoring twice and Boger
tallying once, completing two extra
points. The most spectacular play of
the game was the 60 yard pass from
Webb to Hendrix who went over
for the first Jayvee tally.
Bob ''‘Goat” Davis made his usual
sprint of the game when he slipped
by the Mountaineers secondary anrl
drove 52 yards for the final score
of the game. “Goat” also connected
to Dave Foreman for a 20 yard
pass for the first Owls tally.
The fourth period remained score
less and the visitors went home
victors with a final score of 20-12.
Barnett and Foreman played their
usual good game ; however the Owls
line just refused to block Mathews
who did an excellent job with that
broken finger of his.

Davidson Upsets Owls 7-6
C. C. dropped tlieir second game
Saturday night a week ago to the
Davidson Wildkittens by a heart
breaking score of 7-6. The first half
went scoreless; however the Jay-
vee's didn't enter Owl territory
once while the Owls played the en
tire time threatning Davidson.
With the 500 chilled fans on their
toes as the Owls kicked off the
second half, things broke rapidly
The Kittens fumbled and theJJwl
backfield plunged their v^|®ivcr
with Davis carrying the ba^^Hlead
the game 6-0. Knowing ^^VOwI
line was too strong, DavidTOfftook
to the air for 105 yards passing at
tack which brought the J. V.’s
down to the C.'C. 1 yard line and
Leach stepped over for Davidson
to tie'tlie score, but not for long as
Brown booted the extra point to
win the game for the visitors.
