_ __ _ -----— ~ ____ ___Y Cj in DUKE GETS WHIPS COLGATE 13-0 RAIDERS UNABLE TO GRAB CHANCES Davis And Storer Score To Ruin 50th Anniversary Cele bration At Hamilton BY WHITNEY MARTIN HAMILTON, N. Y„ Oct. 19.—UP) —Duke’s Blue Devils took advant age of a gift break in the first quarter and made their own break in the fourth quarter today and the two resulting touchdowns were enough to defeat Colgate, 13 to 0, and ruin the celebration of the 50th anniversary of football at the Hamilton school. Approximately 12,000 well-refrig erated fans, shivering in the air conditioned stadium in the wind swept valley, felt their spirits soar as the Red raiders of Colgate more than held their own the first period, br' the spirits plummeted to earth early in the second quarter as the Dukes punched across a score after the ball had been handed them on a platter on tire Colgate 25 yard line. In the fourth quarter the spirits soared higher than ever as two breaks put the raiders in scoring territory, but the home team was unable to capitalize on the op portunities, to kill all hopes of a Colgate victory, Rabbity Moffat Storer took the ball on a sweep around end and scampered 80 yards for a second Duke touch down. A punt skidding off the foot of Carl Kinsclterf, Colgate back, to go looping crazily out of bounds on the Colgate 22 for an advance of only 10 yards was the wedge that opened the gate for the first Duke score. Until that time the stalwart Colgate line had stymied every attempt at a consistent ad vance. With the goal in sight, the Blue Devils went to work. A pass, Wes. McAfee to Jasper Davis, carried the ball to the 10, and after McAfee had failed in one running attempt, Davis took matters into his own hands and on his third try urged his 208 pound chassis over the goal from the two yard line. Tony Ruffa’s place kick was good. The third period was without in cident, but Duke handed the break back to Colgate with interest, in the final quarter. Storer fumbled on the Duke 25 and John Scott re covered for Colgate. On the next play Bob Barnett intercepted Ed Dunn’s pass to check the threat. The check was only temporary, however, as A1 Hanover intercept ed a Duke pass on the Duke 25. Hanover and Bill Geyer than col laborated on a couple of passes that carried the ball to the Duke six, but that’s the best the raiders could do, and Duke took the ball on downs on its four. Shortly afterward a Colgate punt bombed over the Duke goal, and the Blue Devils look the ball on their 20. On the first play Storer, a rubber-legged sophomore, went around his right end and down the side lines 80 yards with not a hand touching him. Ruffa missed the extra point, but by that time it made no difference. 3 Florida Gators Defeat Maryland By 19-0 Coant GAINESVILLE, Fla., Oct. 19.— OP)— The Florida Gators finally made their offense click today and turned back a scrappy Maryland eleven, 19 to 0, before an estimated 10,000 homecoming fans. The Floridians unleashed a po tent passing attack that carried them the length of the field re peatedly and dominated the game most of the way. 1 Butler Leads Volunteers To 27 To 12 Victory Over Alabama TtiTOhtt lure SOUTH’S ELEVENS I'ndefeated, Untied Team Is Rated Choice For Post Season Bowl Bid Hi ROMNEY WHEELER Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 19.'—tzpi ,_Dusr off a shelf in football’s Hall „f Fame for little Johnny Butler, understudy to Tennessee’s great tail lack Boh Foxx, who sparked the Volunteers to a 27-12 victory over a fighting Alabama team today. The black-haired mite, weighing barely 160 pounds soaking wet, flashed off right tackle early in the second period and raced 68 yards up Legion Field’s east sideline to Alabama’s 11. Then he faded back anti shot a flat pass to End A1 Hust for the tally. Fred Newman, substi tute wingback, kicked the point. Barely a dozen plays later Butler matched an Alabama punt on •Rania’s 49 and raced under a con voy of blockers to . score standing up. Newman again converted. Butler's brilliant play erased a six-point advantage earned earlier in the period hy the Crimson Tide when Quarterback Jimmy Nelson tore through the Tennessee line on a spinner for ]4 yards and a touch down. A sell-out crowd of 24,531 fans watched the hitter struggle, which saw Alabama go down for its first defeat of the year, and Tennessee yield its first touchdowns against a Southeastern conference foe since L. S. U. punched over a lone six pointer in 1938. Tennessee’s victory put the Vols at the head of the list among the South’s undefeated and untied grid iron powers, and rated them as an odds-on choice for a post-season bowl invitation. Alabama, led hy Nelsbn, and two great sophomore^, Dave Brown and Russ Craft battled grimly all the way, refusing to concede Tennes see a yard unearned. Early in the second Half, as the Volunteers sought to play safe with booming punts, Brown scooped up Butler’s spira’ on his own 43 and roared up the side line for a second ’Bama touchdown. Columbia Lions Defeat Georgia Bulldogs 19-13 NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—UW—A sav age collection of Columbia Lions outfought a heavier Georgia eleven today to snare a 19 to 13 victory that preserved their undefeated record and warmed the cockles of a crowd of 23,000 bundled into little Baker field. It was a wild, spectacular aerial show befitting the game’s ranking as one of the day’s leading inter sectional encounters, and even aft er the Lions put the final score in the bag} with a 40-yard forward lateral pass in the final stanza, no one was sure the strings were tied. Twice the Lions capitalized on poor punts by Jim Todd to score touchdowns and twice they held for downs in the shadow of their own goal. The winning score came on the third play of the last period after Todd had booted the ball out of bounds on his own 48 in a punt that travelled only ten yards. 1 Draft Proves High Player Is Over Age AUSTIN, Minn., Oct. 19.—(^P)— Uncle Sam’s draft registration lost Austin High school its star full back. Superintendent S. T. Neveln dis closed that Wednesday’s registra tion showed Dee Morgan, who wa? supposed to be 19, actually was Bruce Houcke, aged 23, two years above the age limit for high school Players. Since registration, said Neveln, Morgan—or Houcke—has left town. He came here two years ago as a transfer from Bend, Ore., where school records, said Neveln, gave Morgan’s birth date as Feb. 14, 1921. 1 JUST A HINT CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Oct. 19. ~~®—Joe Engel, president of the Chattanooga baseball club, hinted today he was considering an offer to return to the Washington sena ,ors as a scout. ' 3 Aero Chatter LaVerne Rehder, the feminine half of the local “Flying Family,” is back at the field after a trip to Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. While she was gone, everybody at the field got postcards with pic tures of airports and administra tion buildings and airplanes. She tells us that she saw every airport between here and Texas and many of the new. planes that we never see here, such as a twin-engined Cessna and a Culver Cadet. Said that at the State Fair at Dallas the American Airline exhibit was the best of all, and that she was only the third woman pilot in two weeks to visit it. But the funniest of all was arriving at th- Oklahoma City Municipal Airport to find a rodeo in progress! And right on the field too. The occasion proved to be a visit by Gene Autry, who with his horse landed in an airliner shortly after. It was said that it was the first -time a horse had flown! A modern Pegasus, no doubt. Gas models are beginning to make their appearance at the airport again now. Sam Hous ton has flown some really nice ones there lately, and another model has made some trips around the field, buzzing around like an oversize bee. They real ly do look funny when seen from above. * slips and spins: “Buck” Mc Lane, Goldsboro airport manager, was at the field last Monday. He flew down in Doc Harrell’s Cub Coupe with a passenger. And while on the subject of Goldsboro, the Stinson is back up there this week end for barnstorming. They flew it down to the local airport for the first time in weeks last Monday. . . . Lawrence Cavenaugh of Wal lace flew down in his Cub last Fri day. Students Attention! Lawrence tells us that the runways at the Wallace field are being lengthen ed, so that may mean that local students can land there while log ging their cross country time. . . . Did you see the Douglas B-19 that winged its way high above the air port Friday? When we first spied it, it was droning northward, high above, and then a few minutes la ter, flew.over again, this time fly ing fouth. We can’t figure that out. ... A coast Guard plane, an open biplane, roared by one day with out even so much as circling the field, and yesterday Billy Coding ton of Charlotte dove at the hang ar, rocking the wings of his Waco, as he headed toward his farm. He’ll land here sometime today be fore returning to Charlotte. . . We hear that Jimmy Granere, the son of the famous father and son team of Dick and Jimmy Granere, will be in High Point today to per form at an air show being held there. Jimmy and his father are famous the world over for their dual acrobatics in Cubs. We saw them go through their paces at the National. Air Races in Cleveland last year as they did loops, spins, rolls Immelmans, wingovers, and other maneuvers simultaneously. They’re good at it. . . . The Aero Club will hold a supper meeting at the Crystal Restaurant Wednesday night at 7:30. All members are asked to please let the Secretary (me) know by Monday if they plan to attend. If plans go through Mil ton Schultz, C.A.A. Inspector, and J. D. Winstead, new president of the Carolina Aero Club will be there. . . . And, oh yes, other new officers of the Carolina Aero Club are: J. L. Hamilton, of Orange burg, First Vice-President; Jru man Miller, of Raleigh, and Bever ly Howard of Charleston, Second Vice-Presidents: Mrs. Paul Eaton, of Charlotte, Secretary; and Frank Dawson, of Fayetteville. Treasur er. Joe Cannon, of Charlotte, is the only new member of the board of directors. We’re glad to see the officers are more fliers from other cities rather than Charlotte, as it had been in the past. A new air marker has been painted in Wilmington, leading visiting pilots to the airport. A cross head wind and low gas to the student who can’t find it. We’ll tell you next week where it is! KEYDETS DEFEAT . CAVALIERS 7 TO 0 Hand First Defeat Of Season To Team That Had Won Three Contests BY BARTON PATTIE «ARLOTTESVTLLE, Va., Oat. 19.—(A*)—Virginia Military Insti tute’s football team scored on an inspired second-period drive and clung stubbornly to that advantage to upset Virginia’s Cavaliers 7 to 0 before a drenched crowd of 18,000 today. It was the first defeat of the season for Virginia, oonqueror of Lehigh. Yale and Maryland, and the game gave VMI’s Cadets an im pressive start in defense of their state championship. The touchdown drive began on Virginia’s 33 midway in the second quarter. Joe Muha, big sophomore halfback, got six yards and passed to Luther Sexton, end, who made a spectacular shoestring catch on the Virginia 14-yard line. Nelson Cat lett and Muha tore through the Cavalier line for a first down On the four. Muha got three on two smashes at the battling Cavalier for ward Wall. Muha’s short pass over center was knocked down but Cat lett dived over for the game’s only touchdown on the next play. Muha’s placement was good. Notre Dame Shows Power Beating Carnegie Tech SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 19.— m —Notre Dafne’s football legions marched today to the relentless beat of a touchdown tattoo which hammered Carnegie Tech to sub mission, 61 to 0, and stamped the victors as one of the greatest teams in Irish gridiron history. By land and by air, Notre Dame routed the outclassed Tartans in a contest which saw the use of every one of the 67 players on the Irish bnch. But even the substitution of fifth and sixth stringers could not measuably slow the jugger naut which scored the biggest point total for the Irish since 1932’s 62 to 0 rout of Drake and handed Carnegie its worst defeat in Tech’s modern football era. Th4 game, in which the Notre Dame first team played less than two periods, wasn’t six minutes old when John O’Brien, Irish end, blocked a Tech punt and recov ered to run 24 yards for a touch down. From then on it was a parade of power by the .Irish, who showed they are headed for the high road to national title ranking as the finest all-around team pro duced by Coach Elmer Layden in his seven-year regime. Carnegie didn’t have a chance. The Tartans didn’t rach Notre Dame territory until the third pe riod and then, against Irish third stringers, lost the ball on downs at the Notre Dame 45. Late in the contest Tech go to the Irish 43 before losing the ball on a pass in terception. In all, Carnegie made only five first downs to 15 for the victors. 1 -:»_._ Thrice Beaten'Tulane Defeats Rice Owls 15-6 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. IS.—<^»)— Thrice-beaten Tulane finally found the combination today in a ragged but thrilling exhibition of power, fumbles and penalties to defeat the hitherto unscored-on Rice Owls, 15 to 6, before 34,000 spectators. Rugged James Thibaut, strictly a New Orleans product, put the Green Wave into the lead 9-6 in the final seconds of the second quarter with a slanting 27-yard field goal from placement. Cheered by being ahead for the first time since the Sugar Bowl game last season, Tulane went :o jick up another touchdown in the third. The game was an almost endless procession of fumbles, costly penal ies, and intercepted passes in which poth the hard fighting elevens shared almost equally. A Tulane fumble gave Rice its >nly touchdown. Lou Thomas drop ped the ball and Marvin Dewoody scooped 'it up on Tulane’s 24, from There Joe Price reeled off 14, and 3ob Brumley lugged it on across , n three tries. Bradley’s Bryan Station Wins Handicap At Laurel LAUREL, Md„ Oct. 10.—(M— Col. E. R. Bradley’s familiar white j and green colors flashed In victory in the Spalding Lowe Jenkins hand icap today when his Bryan Station won the $5,000-added fixture for two-year-olds. Jockey F. A. Smith guided Bryan Station to a two-length triumph over H. Wells’ Happy Pilot, with t Mrs. E. Graham Lewis’ Magnifi cent third. Cleaveland. Putnam’s Swain was fourth. The favored Wheatley stable’s Bold Irishman was far back in the field of eleven. Bryan Station paid $24.80 for $2 and picked up a purse of $6,075. He covered the mile-and-a-six teenth in 1:45 1-5. r BLOCKING BACK - By JackSords r-1 __ WAtreR IMATOSzCZAK F’lgioeedeou. WALfgR.

OUTDOOR WRITERS TO MEET OCT. 31 National Wildlife Federation Head To Attend South port Sessions SOUTHPORT, Oct. 19 — Cold weather during the middle of the week brought reports of great num bers of ducks on the river and tidal creeks. It is unusual for the birds to appear on tne lower North Caro lina coast until well into Novem ber. In fact, North Carolina hunt ers have been critical of the duck hunting season being extended by opening it on November 1, instead of December 1, and closing it on the first of January. They pre ferred that open season embrace December and January, instead oi November and December. Incidentally, Bill McCormick, oi the National Wildlife Federation in Washington, reported this week that wild ducks and geese were enroute southward in greater num bers than was the case in any previous migration in many years. He states that for the past five years the southward drift of duck and geese has been steadily in creasing in number, with the move ment for this year topping all other years. . McCormick will be at Southport at the meeting of the officers and directors of the Outdoor Writers’ association of America, October 31 to November 4, inclusive. 1 H-Boys Wins For Ole Miss By Score Of 14-6 OXFORD, Miss., Oct. 19.—Wl— Mississippi’s H-boys, Hovious and Hapes, injected new life into a slow starting ole Miss squad today as the Rebels turned back Duquesne, 14 to 6, before a homecoming crowd of 10,000. The Rebels, slow in recovering from last week’s great effort against Georgia, for the first two periods made little headway against the Pittsburgh squad which trotted out its trickiest plays for southern inspection. Not until the third quarter did Ole Miss and her touchdown twins really get under way. The Junie Hovious passed from his own 40 to Eubanks, who tore to the left and went out of bounds on Du quesne’s 17. It was Merle Hapes on the next play, around right end for the touchdown. Hovious kicked the extra point. Duquesne took only three plays to come back, Gonda running the kickoff from his own 10 to the Rebel 46, a line drive picking up two yards, and Chadonic swinging wide on a successful fake reverse to cross the goal line standing. Rokisky’s kick failed. Hovious’ touchdown came late in the final period when he grabbed a 45-yard pass from Hapes, right from under the noses of two big Duquesne backs who had stepped over the goal with him. Hovious’ kick was again good for the final point in a score that sent the Reb els along their undefeated march and ended the Pennsylvanians’ 14 game winning streak. 1 William And Mary Runs Roughshod Over Tigers WILLIAMSBURG, Va„ Oct. 19.— (/P>—Held to one touchdown in the first half, the William and Mary Indians went on a scoring spree in the third and fourth quarters to lefeat Hampden-Sydney’s game but outclassed Tigers, 41 to 0. With Johnson and Kickey leading :he attack, the Indians scored three :lmes in the third period and twice n the fourth. The Tigers made their only threat n the second period. Holmes revers sd to Miller who got away for a 35 ■ ard run to the Indians’ 26 and durdock then passed to Hollenbeck or a first down on the William and dary 4. Vandewe.gh ended the hreat by intercepting a pass and •eturning it 26 yards to the William ind Mary 37. Western Carolina Wins Over E.C.T.C. CULLOWHEE, Oct. 19— (JP) — W estern North Carolina spotted the Eastern Carolina Teachers a pair >f first-period touchdowns here to lay and then rushed from behind o win 26 to 4. Each of the game’s six touch iowns resulted from a fumble, in ercepted aerial on a faulty kick. Che home team made 13 first downs o eight for the visitors. PAPA RALEIGH, Oct. 19—' OP) — Dick East, senior wingback on the N. C. State Wolfpack, be came a father today, a few hours before he and his team mates clashed with North Car olina. A daughter was born to Mr and Mrs. East in a Raleigh hospital early this morning Mother and child were report ed “doing fine.” Mrs. East is the.former Miss Margaret Stallings of Raleigh and Durham. ] Field Goal Is Margin Of Win For Mountaineers BOONE, Oct. 19—(.T)—Sparring for three quarters with both teams apparently evenly matched, New berry and Appalachian broke loose in the last quarter on long passes today, but it was Henderson Bak er’s field goal in the final minutes that gave the Mountaineers a 9-7 victory. The Appalachian Mountaineers scored first when Arkie Felton’s left-handed spiral from the 30 was taken by Eddie Johnson in the end zone. Ernie Safrit and George Grier had set up the play from midfield with a couple of line plunges good for first downs, de spite a 15-yard penalty. Baker's placement try failed. Appalachian’s kickoff found New berry trying to move from its 23, but Gator Craxton pulled down a high pass f;om quarterback Col langelo and without breaking his stride raced 76 yards to score for the Indians. Collangelo’s place kick left the Mountaineers trailing, 7-6. With five minutes to go, Grier took Newberry’s short kick on his own 23 and pulled up on the mid stripe. A reverse, Safrit to Baker, and a strong plunge by Grier placed the ball on Newberry’s 20 but four attempts found Appalachi an two inches short of a first down and Newberry took over. Several tries by Collangelo produced no gain for the South Carolinians and Safrit took Collangelo’s kick on the 35 to set the stage for Appalachi an’s winning counter. Grier fol lowed Safrit’s short pass to John son by plowing to Newberry’s 35. Another aerial, Safrit to Baker put the ball on Newberry’s 10, from where Baker kicked the winning field goal. 1 Powerful Cornell Rolls Over Syracuse Team 33-6 ITHACA, N. Y., Oct. 19.—W)— Cornell, growing more powerful and deceptive with each passing week, rolled right over a fair Syra cuse team, 33 to 6, today, despite everything Coach Carl Snavely could do toward holding the score in bounds. As a full dress rehearsal for Cornell’s big tussle here with Ohio State next week, it was a very im pressive show for the 18,000 who shivered in the first real cold day of the season. The nation^ No. 1 team, by vote, scored almost at will when it took the notion, mostly on the long, spectacular plays that have characterized it for two sea sons. Four of Cornell’s touchdowns were scored on passes, three of them from far out on the grass, while Bill Murphy broke and ran 44 yards for the other. Hal McCullough’s brilliant pass ing, the deft ball handling of his several receivers, and the desper ate running of Mort Landsberg, Cornell’s 170-pound fullback, a 11 combined to make the winner's at tack a thing of fire and beauty. Eugene Schmidt, substitute Syra cuse center, suffered a broken leg in a hard pile-up in the final pe riod. 1 INDIANA 10-6 BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 19.— UP— Indiana rose up from an un derdog’s role today to bowl over the previously undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes 10 to 6, before a Hoosier homecoming crowd of 20,000.
