Stevens Big Factor In UNC Freshmen Victory Bv CLIFTON METCALF (Special to The Mountaineer) CHAPEL HILL?J W. Stevens of Ha/clwood was a big factor in the sound 21-0 licking the Uni versity of North Carolina fresh man football team handed the frosh of the University of Mary land here Friday. The big Haywood fullback dis olayed the same driving power for which he was known in Blue Ridge Conference circles when he played for Wayneiville High School's Mountaineers. All he needed when carrying the ball was 4 or 5 steps to gain mcmentum before hitting the Maryland line and the Tar Babies ; were virtually assured of gaining from 3 to 6 yards. Carolina quarterbacks frequent ly used Stevens on the first and 10th yard play because of his ability to gain consistentlv. It was not uncommon to see him carry 2 or 3 Maryland tacklers for sev "-al vards before they brought him down Stevens, starting fullback, was used as a linebacker on defense. ( Once in the second half a Mary land quarterback took the ball from center and upon jumping to throw a short nass to his end j cutting behind the Carolina line was so surprised to find Stevens up in the air with him and only t Stens awav that he could not re tard his throw. The ball hit the j big linebacker sciuarelv in the chest and fell incomplete. All three scores came in the sec ond half as the Marvland freshmen stepped several drives deep into tneir territory in the first half. I First string quarterback Jack Cummings passed for two scores ' while his suh. Nelson Lowe, sneak ed for the third. Stevens kept the drive alive for the second score, which came in , the 4th quarter. After Cornell 1 Johnson had scored on a nass from Cummings. Stevens added the noint after touchdown?a newly discov ered ability of the Haywood young ster. After the Tar Babies lost to the Wake Forest Doaclets in their i opening game two weeks ago doubt began to rise among Carolina fans as to whether Jim "''atum had been successful in his first attempt to recruit further football stars for UNC. But when Tatum's recruits had finished pushing the traditionally talent laden Maryland freshmen nil over the Kenan Stadium turf, it was quite clear that Big Jim had recruited some of the finest orospective young football plavers in the country in his quest to bring football greatness to his old alma mater. The Maryland first stringers ap peared to be about on a par with Tatum's 3rd team After ihe first half the first two Tar Babv teams could gain or halt the visitors al most at will. Head freshman coach Fred Tullai used four teams dur ing the. eourse of the game One spectator was heard to re mark e.fter the contest: "That was the best game I've seen here in five years." It is doubtful ihat he changed his mind after seeing the varsity drop a 2G-12 game to Georgia Saturday. Haywood County can be proud that one of her sons is on the starting freshman team here at UNC because Jim Stevens has the j potential to put Waynesville on the collegiate football map. | Spurling In Hawaii With 25th Division Army PFC Robert C.

The ladies in Moscow will have their first chance to see American fashions first hand i if two Washington women have! their way. The two fashion entrepreneurs ? are Estelle Druskhi, an etiengetic young grandmother, and Patricia Mayfield Mauldin. a fashion com mentator and former model. Mrs. Druskin says she thought] it was time the Russians concen-. trated on fashions instead of fis-J sions. so she wrote a letter to Iho j State Department suggesting a fashion show Then when she and ' her friend heard a congressional subcommittee was studying Uni-! ted States participation in a Mos cow agricultural and industrial, trade fair next summer, they dc?, cided to take their Case to Capitol I Hill. What better way. they reasoned, could the women of Russia be at tracted to the fair than to show what the average American family | wears and can afford'' Alter working for days, the girls came uo with an official looking eight - page document outlining their project. The subcommittee promptly approved their report and recommended it to the full House Committee on Agriculture. How do they hope to impress the Russians with American fash-' ion ingenuity? First, the clothes will !>.? medium priced and medium styled. "We want to show how the American working girl dresses, what the housewife wears, and how she dresses her children," they said. Since the fair opens on the Fourth of July, the girls propose to trace American fashions from the colonial dress and wig of 1776. to the ante-bellum hoop skirts of the 1850?, and hourglass silhouette of the "Gay Nineties." through the flapper era up to the slim lines of today. Another suggestion calls for a 1 "Cotton Colorama" featuring cot ton in everything from bathing suits to evening gowns. "And because no fashion show todr^v would be complete without the miracle fabrics," Mrs. Mauldin said, "we plan to show dresses made from synthetic fiber and some of the new man-made furs." Mrs. Druskin says they hope to take along 12 fashion models, in cluding four men, and use the Children of American diplomats in Moscow for their family-type show. In the meantime. 'Mrs. Mauldin is busy learning Russian by a phonetic system so she can act as commentator for the show her self. Britain's Seapa Flow naval base.

Expert Helps Policemen With Handling Of Juveniles j By ANNETTE DAVIS (For Jane Eads) (1 WASHINGTON I .oral law en forcement agencies throughout tlie country are receiving visits. at ( their own request,- from the C'hil- |, dren's Bureau's onjk policeman He's Frederic F Sehneidewind a V tall, soft-spoken man with a mas ter's degree in criminology who re fers to himself as "just a cop".

New Sinclair Power Discovery Sinclair Power-X with New X-Chemicol Does What No Other Gasoline Ever Did Before X-CHEMICAL ELIMINATES POWER-ROBBING ENGINE DEPOSITS. OUTSTANDING JOURNALISTS of leading publications recently "wit nessed proof, previously certified by American Automobile Association tests, that Sinclair's new power dis covery, new Power-X Gasoline with X-Chemical, does what no other gas oline ever did before. ? It eliminates power-robbing en gine deposits. ? It increases power, cuts operating costs as you drive. ? X-Chemical is 90% more effective than any other gasoline additive in preventing spark plug fouling. ? It's 70% more effective in preventing power loss from pre-ignition. Other gasoline additives, intended to combat spark plug fouling and pre ignition, actually build up harmful deposits of their own. But Sinclair's new X-Chcmical has none of these damaging after-effects. Instead, it changes bard, crusty deposits into harmless, powdery material, thereby increasing power in older cars ? retaining peak power in new cars. After just three tankfuls of new Super-Premium Sinclair Power-X, you can feel the improvement in per formance ? provided you do not mix it with other gasoline. See your Sinclair Dealer and power up with new Power-X. All cars need it ? only Sinclair has it! NEW SUPER-PREMIUM GASOLINE i SINCLAIR POWER-X' Sinclair (attain*
