At the first call from Coach Ed wards. 40 sturdy youngsters strug gled through the first drills last Mon day. The first day of hard work made no dent in the number out for the squad as all the boys are coming hack every day to stand their pun ishment. Wednesday's practice was limited to the necessary 'blackboard work because of rainy weather Coach Edwards expected all^he boys to be in good shape today for a real practice session with all the trim mings before the boys get their first week-end rest Only five lettermen returned to the squad for the present season: Cul lipher. Bailey, Sullivan, Wynne and D. Roberson. Miller, who was a reg ular last fall at the opening of the season, but was forced to retire on account of injuries, is back to add great weight to the strength of the line.

Future of Organized Baseball Here in Uncertain State Now The future of organized baseball in Williamston is in an extremely muddled state but recent develop ments are encouraging, to say the least According to Coastal Plain President Ray Goodmon, Martin's President J. Eason Lilley has al ready paid the annual $30 franchise protection fee and reserved his play ers for another season. Martins' manager, Red Swain, who it was rumored had been released, is still officially a chattel of the lo cal ball club. However, several adverse factors ard, Weir, Mercer and Cunning ham? With five of the "reasons" for the Green Wave's great team last year migrating to Mari Hill College, and others to State College and Clark's Drug Store, prospects for this fall seemed rather slim. But several of the bigger boys are coming to the rescue. Some of the Greenies show ing real talent and hope include: Wil liam Lilley, Garland Wynne. R Cherry. S. C Griffin, Langley, Get singer and Batemun Several out side boys have come in for the shop work and are eligible for football Howell Peel, Clifton Ward and Clyde Holland A few more midgets were added to the list Carrow, Goff, Chesson, Crattick, C. Peel, Bachelor, Parker, Hargett and Clayton. 1 Plans are being completed for a ae-game schedule which will be available later. Unofficial reports from the grid iron state that the locals will hard ly be in a position to maintain the tough schedule in effect during the past several seasons. It has been pointed out that the youths, game as they may be, are not large enough dished out on the football field CARD OF THANKS We wish to express (Air apprecia tion to everyone for their kindness to us and to our daughter, Peggy, during her recent illness. Particu larly, we thank Rev. Patrick N. Gal lagher for the blood for the trans fusion E. C. Harrison and Family. enter on the debit side of the ledger. Unofficial reports from a truth worthy source reveal that the Bos ton Red Sox. Rocky Mount Red Sox parent club, is planning to re move that city's franchise to Lynch burg, due to lack of attendance This actio nlends credence to rumors that Rocky Mount, boasting a beautiful ball park, would seek a berth in the Coastal Plain circuit. Others regard ed as anxious to snap up the local franchise, should President Lilley default: Washington, Smithfield, Dunn. Fayetteville and Wilmington. DUKE-TENNESSEE One of the most important early season gridiron contests will be played between Duke and Tennessee, when they meet at Knoxville on October 5th. Both teams are rated near the top of the national list and the outcome of the battle may decide which school will be represent ed at some "bowl" next New Year's Day. Meeting once more, Coach Wallace Wade, of the Blue Dev ils, and Major Bob Neyland, of the Vols, two of the outstand ing coaches of the United States, will be out to capture a victory. And when this pair go after a win, it is a beautiful and excit ing affair to witness. The experts say it is a toss-up, but Duke usually wins that kind.

Then Coach Wolf's Tar Heels will have a look at the famous aerial style of play as used in the South west Conference, when Texas Christ lan will play at Chapel Hill on .Oc tober 12. The. Horned Frogs are on the upgrade after a disastrous sea son last year and will present a wide open game for the spectators. ^ ill Duke "Bowl** ()n New Year's Day According to pre-season dope, the Duke Blue Devils seem destined to receive an invitation to play in some "bowl" game next New Year's Day that is. if Coach Wallace Wade's proteges can conquer a powerful Tennessee in its home stadium, and win the North Carolina cj&Sftic with the Tar Heels. The Duke-Tennessee game, to be played at Knoxyille, is rated a toss up. although it seems Duke's_^enxa tional sophomores of laSl year will break the tradition of beating Ten nessee at home. And that Carolina Duk< game will worry Coach Wade as in tin past for'despite the fact that the Bin* Devils ale heavy fav orites, anything can happen at this battle and usually does With the. passing of George Mc Afee. the btg Duke backfield star may be Frank Killian. although Wes McAfee, Jap Davis. Siegfried and an unlimited number of others are threats in themselves. The Blue Devil line should be slightly stronger than last year At Carolina, the Tar Heels will be liard^to stop if Coach Hay Wolf can find a suitable man to fill George StirtVw 1'iss' shoes. Jim "Sweet" La lanne will pan up with Paul Sev jcrin, All American end, to form one of the best passing combinations in the United States and with Hurry Dunkle, leading punter in the nation, back in harness the. Tar Heels will not have to take much pushing about. Coach Peahcad Walker is still ?without a passer at Wake Forest, and although the Deacons led the nation last year in ground gaining, the aerial department is becoming a big unit in present day football The Deacons' line is not expected to | be as strong as last year"with theloss [of both regular tackles who play I'd practically all of the time But with a backfield contingent headed | by John Polanski. Hed May berry and Kinggold, Wake Forest Is set is spring the usual number of upsets. N C State and Davidson will round out the Big Five standings with little to look forward to. State is improving, but Coach Newton will not be able to push the Wolf pack up into the top flight this sea son.
