HARRIER SQUAD
RUNS TOO FAST
IN HIE TRIALS
Coach Dale Eanson, harrier squad
mentor, reversed all rules of coach
dom yesterday by declaring that his
cross country team was "running too
fast." But, he then added "for this
early in the season."
T
xvansons remarks all came about
after watching three of his top per
formers Tom Crockett, Jim Vawter
and Wimpy Lewis run the five-mile
route in 27:51, eight seconds faster
than their time over the course two
weeks ago in the first time trial of
the season.
l he .boys are doing themselves
more harm than good by running so
last before thev srp ra?-ir -fv- J "
0 ' A V,
explained Ranson.
uveriooking the instructions of
Ranson to run about a 30 minute race,
xom Crockett, Clarence Fink, Jim
Vawter, Wimpy Lewis, and Dave
Morrison covered the first mile in
5:05 and were runnipg at a 10:24
clip at the second mile. Crockett,
Vawter and Lewis were blowing hard
when they finished, showing that the
pace had been too fast for them.
Morrison tied up for the second con
secutive week with a stitch.
Clarence Fink continued to show
improvement over his surprising per
formance of last week when he cov
ered the route in 29:52. His time
yesterday was a more surprising
28:48, nearly one minute better than
last week.
Henry Branch, running a good pace
the entire run, finished the first mile
in 5:20, was running 10:55 at the two
mile post, and finished in 30:59, three
minutes and 22 seconds better than
last week.
Jim Toy and Holt Allen also offered
good performances. They covered the
course in 31:48 as compared to their
times of 32:33 and 36:30 of last
week. They were hitting a 11:23 pace
at the second mile post, and finished
strong.
Jim' Earle, who tied up wit!Tabad
stitch on the last mile and half, failed
to better his last week's time of 32:33,
running 33:40. Bill Gordn bettered
his time by 17 seconds running 34:20.
Dave Morrison, who continues to turn
in dependable marks, ran 28:48, bet
tering his best time of the year by
two seconds.

REDS AT HOME

CINCINNATI, Oct. 6 Two games
down, the Cincinnati Reds of Bill Mc-
Kechnie face the Wrecking Crew of
the New York Yankees tomorrow at
Crosley field in the third game of the
1939 World Series. Gene "Junior"
Thompson, star rookie hurler, is
slated to go the mound for the Reds,
while the Yankees' starting pitcher
has not yet been named.
. While the teams rested while trav-

cluding Manager Joe McCarthy who
would 'start for the Yanks. Vernon
"Goofy" Gomez, who has wn six
World Series games and lost none,

likely choices, while Bump Hadley was
another possibility. Gomez may be
held for the fourth game because of

row and every Sunday until the end
of the season. They will be selected
by Richard Morris, mural editor.
Intramural leagues wound up their

Everett stole the limelight in the
dormitory league as it took its second
straight game with a 14-12 victory
over Grimes, last year's campus touch
football title holders. Mangum con
tinued to exhibit lots of offensive
power as it overwhelmed its opponents
for the second consecutive week. "H,"
one of the newest additions to the
dormitory list, took new life in the
race for leadership by defeating Old
West, the favorite in , the dormitory
league, by a 6-0 score. BVP's stock
in the race dropped as it was pushed
to beat Old East by a 12-0 score.
Some of the stars of these top rank
ing teams for the week were Dilworth
and Harden, Chi Psi; Council and
Scales, Sigma Chi; Carr and Nash,
Zeta Psi. In the dormitory set-up the
stars for Everett were Pryor, ShytJe,
Miles, Rich and Prowitt; for Man

Frosh Need Work
On Fundamentals
Blocking poorly, muffing passes and
missing tackles, Carolina's frosh foot
ballers yesterday showed they didn't
know the team plays and couldn't get
organized until they practiced a great
deal more.
Backs and ends went through spe
cial blocking and tackhng sessions
before their dummy scrimmage and
showed the coaches that they knew
little about the correct approaches to
these skills. They missed their blocks

EVENLY BIATGHED
ULTS SCHEDULED
IN CONFERENCE
By WILLIAM L. BEERHAN
Southern conference teams play in
five different states this afternoon as
;he battle for the inside track in the
eague race begins its third week.
Among the best in football enter
tainment for the day are Clemson-
State, Davidson-VMI, Duke-Colgate,
Furman-Georgia, Maryland-Western
Maryland, Richmond-Washington and
Lee, South Carolina-Villanova, and
William and Mary-Apprentice school.
Carolina, playing Virginia Tech at
Norfolk, appears to have a definite
edge to win.
VPI has neither the team, power,
or heavenly eift which can urge it
to a victory over Wolf's squad the
game should go to Carolina by a four
touchdown margin. K
Davidson's rugged little Wildcats,
the only team to score a touchdown
against Duke since 1937, meet VMI
at Bluefield, W. Va., and many think
the Cadets are in for a licking,
Granny Sharpe and his passes can
set VMI back a surprise to only
those who haven't seen Davidson in
action this year.
State can give Clemson a fine fight
at Charlotte, but the Tigers have
enough offense to score and win. Tu
lane was lucky last week in its 7-6
victory over Clemson; likewise, the
Wolfpack was magnificent in holding
Tennessee to two touchdowns. Indi
cations are for a tight game.
Duke, heir apparent to the confer
ence crown it now wears until Caro
lina's' adding-machine inarch in the
last two weeks, is host at Durham to
Colgate, mighty nothings from the
north. The Blue Devils announce
each year that "Colgate is a menace

ers witnout mucn trouDie. jn x u
squeezed blood from a turnip in get
ting a 7-6 win over Colgate last Sat
urday, and the experts hint that Duke
might be surprised today. But then,
experts are always hinting, so we see
Duke the winner as usual a couple
of touchdowns, whatever Wallace
Wade wants.
Furman was mentioned by the Sun
day papers after Army nearly had a
stroke in putting the South Carolina

DUKE FAVORITE
Fencing Mentors Happy: Big
Squads, 1938 Team Intact
Even the most optimistic expecta
tions of both Business Manager Jerry
Stoff and Coach Allan Bloom have
been exceeded by the fencing turnout
this fall. Yesterday's total reached
72, an all-time high.
But that's not the only good news in
the fencing camp these days. Top
ping off the quantity of fencers is the
quality of, both the .swordsmen, and
swordswomen.
The varsity squad is back jusabout
intact, including both old and new ex
perienced reserves.. The entire,. foils
team ha$ turned out. . Captain Allan
Bloom, Joe Boak and Dave Malone, the
three who led the '38 team in many of
its meets make up probably the most
depend; ble-foils three in the South.
The re urn to school of Bernie Ales
kovsky) 1937 leader, bolsters the epee
team into the top rank; with John
FinchJ number one Eastern intercol
legiate epeeist last year and' Dick
FreuHenheim, lead-off epee man,

forming what may develop into an un
beatable epee outfit. Sabre, weaker
than last year, has Bloom and Bob

ayne Williamson, number one
in 1938, the only varsity man

situation. Hermann Boemans, Ralph
Felton, and Clayton Farris lead the
half-dozen foil subs; Stan Whyte, Bill
Spicer and Henry Smernoff can ably
take up epee at the beckoned call; and
Ernest Stich, Lome Payne, Bob
Tolmach, and Fred Broad pace the
sabre extras. Other reserves in all
weapons include Don Foscue, John
McLelland, Ernest Morris, Bob Sears,
Kent Stratofrd, Bill Harward, Tom
Vance, Stew Wilson, Clarence Howell,
and Stoff.
Without a call for frosh, 12 first
year men have reported -for fencing
practice. A team will definitely be
formed this winter from physical edu
cation classes, and an extensive inter
collegiate schedule engaged in.. News
of experienced freshman fencers
greatly increases the possibilities of
the first organized freshman fencing
team being an unusually good one. -
. The more experienced frosh swords
men are Bob Deering, Episcopal Acad
emy and New York Military Academy
fencer; Howard Imbrey who competed
at Horace Mann school in New York;
Irvin Ebel, a Brooklyn high school
foilsmaij; Dick Adler, foil fencer;
Warren Steel, YMCA foil instructor

DURHAM, Oct. 6. The orthodoxy
that is Duke and the wizardy that is
Colgate will collide here in Duke sta
dium tomorrow afternoon when the
Blue Devils of Wallace Wade and the
Red Raiders of Andy Kerr meet for
the fourth time in a feature inter
sectional match. The kick-off will be
at 2:30 o'clock.
For three years, Wallace Wade has
sent his conservative, power-play
type of attack against the deceptive
football magic employed by Andy Kerr.
And for three years, the Wade system
has won out..
In 1936, when the series was inau
guarted at Duke stadium, Duke finish
ed ahead, 6-0. At Hamilton in 1937,
the Blue Devils triumphed, 13-0. Last
year at Buffalo at the christening of
the Iron Dukes the Wademen won,
7-0.
Kerr has always developed a slam-
bang passing attack to go along with
his tricky laterals and reverses. It
was tnis same slam-bang overhead
attack, led by talented Hal Lube, that
very nearly turned the tide for Col
gate in the final quarter of last year's
contest. -
It's practically decided, however,!
that the Red Raiders of the Chenango ;
valley will not wait again until the !
final quarter tomorrow before they
cut loose with their aerial game. Hal
Lube will start, and hell be in there
pitching right from the start.
(Continued from first page)
outs every afternoon in an effort to
get his leg back to something reason
ably resembling normal efficiency and
appearance. ,
George will be on the bench await
ing any call that may come, but with
Carolina moving along on its present
path and Virginia Tech apparently
started the other way, he will prob
ably have a long afternoon of bench
warming. Jim Lalanne will be the
starting quarterback and George Rad-
man, who will begin the game at
wingback, will move to quarter when
Lalanne takes time off as long as
Carolina maintains a respectable ad
vantage over the Gobblers.
PROBABLE LINEUP
Wolf will probably use the same
lineup with the exception of Stirn
weiss that started against Wake For
est: Severin and Mallory at ends;
White and Kimball, tackles; Woodson
and Abernethy guards; Smith, center;
and Radman, Sadoff and Bobbitt in
the backfield along with Lalanne.
There is no disposition among the
Tar Heels or their coaches to take the
game lightly, but Carolina simply has
too much power, and if required, too
much finesse for the Gobblers to cope
with. Virginia Tech had hard luck last
week-end in losing to Marshall, and
they are looking forward for some
measure of revenge against Carolina.
Reports out of Blacksburg indicate
that the Tech aerial game should be
more potent this time out now that
vet end John Henderson is in condi
tion to play for the first time this sea
son. Rankin Hudson, triple threat man
about the Gobbler backfield, is an
able pass tosser, perhaps not as good
as either Stirnweiss or Lalanne but a
fair performer nevertheless.
FULL STRENGTH
The Gobblers will also be at fmH
strength for the first . time this year.
Billy James, a sophomore withfpromise
of future brilliance, will be ready tc
go in the backfield and the line will be
boosted by the return of tackle Andy
Todd and guards Van Anderson and
Joe Smith.
Ellison, Hudson, Warriner and De-
Muro give Virginia Tech - a strong
backfield. The line is heavy, the light
est regular weighing in at 180 pounds.
Last year the Gobblers came dawn to
Kenan stadium, caught Carolina in
the rain and suffering from the let
down after" the Duke game, and held
the Tar Heels to one touchdown, los
ing, 7-0.
