NEW 10RK, Nov. 11. (ff>)— The Nation’s sports

Army or Notre Dame was the best team in the country as

said Monday that the Gobblers’
star tackle, John (The Greek)
Maskas, of Monessen, Pa., had
“been contacted personally” about
playing professional football by
three pro teams.
They added that scouts of the
Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffa
lo Bisons had recently visited the
Tech campus to talk with Maskas,
a senior, who is an All-America
prospect, and that the Tech star
had previously had offers from the
Boston Yanks.
Before the start of the current
season, Maskas said he planned
to “finish my schooling before I
play any professional football."
The line ace said at that time the
Boston team had contacted him.
Maskas, 25-year-old, six-foot 210
pound former Marine, is one of
the fastest linemen on the Tech

he played for the University of

By GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer
Friday may bring together the
Eastern Conference’s two best foot
ball elevens—the Wildcats of New
Hanover High and the Bulldogs of
Fayetteville.
Coach Leon Brogden’s club is
by no means above the clouds in
the circuit standings, but not many
Wilmington opponents can say with
a clear conscience: “We outplayed
the ’Cats.”
Wilmington has played some poor
ball. They have showed lack of
judgment time after time, but
never has a Wildcat foe outplayed
Wilmington in (his 1946 season.
New Hanover lost to Raleigh only
because time ran out with the ball
on the one foot line in the first
half and the five yard line in the
second half.
They were defeated by Wilson
because the officials did not recog
nize a rule governing the sleepy
end play, which both the local
coach and a local writer has point
ed out to yours truly. This certain
rule says players along the side
lines cannot cover a player at
tempting to pull the old sleepy
end. Wilson substitutes did.
In the Durham contest New Han
over gridders were penalized 105
yards, not for being off sides or
fpr other reasons, but for tackling
Durham ball carriers “too” hard
and asking the officials why they
called certain penalties.
In Durham papers it was slated
“the Bulldogs completely outplayed
Wilmington.” The Bulldogs made
13 first downs to NHHS's five. But
considering the 105 yards Durham
gained by penalties approximately
eight of those first downs were
unearned. Wilmington had three
scoring ^nances. Durham, only
two.
Herman Vick, NHHS quarter
back, did not go in a huddle usual
ly just to call a play to make 10
yards and a first down but more
often 25 yards and a first down.
On on occasion Rudy Johnson,
Wildcat fullback, streaked around
right end for 30 odd yards and
still Wilmington 'was forced to
kick next down.
This is all past, however. The
Wildcats, without the slightest
chance for the loop championship,
went full blast into this week’s
rugged practice schedule yester
day with the eyes of Raleigh and
Wilson focused on them. Wilming
ton realizes that if they should up
set Fayetteville the crown will be
knoted between the Bulldogs, Ra
leigh, an^f Wilson. And every boy
on the Wildcats squad believes
firmly they can turn the trick.

ARMY COACH SAYS
DAVIS UNINJURED
Major Paul Amen Tells
Writers Penn Has Ability
To Beat Army
NEW YORK, N0v. 11—W—Glenn
Davis was badly shaken up in the
Notre Dame game but received
no injuries and Pennsylvania has
more overall speed than the Irish,
Maj. Paul Amen of the Army
coaching staff told New York foot
ball writers Monday.
“Stu Holcombe, our end coach,
saw Notre Dame and the Quakers
against Navy and he reports that
the Quakers, whom we meet Sat
urday at Philadelphia, have much
more speed, especially in the
backfield,” Amen continued.
He added that Davis, candidate
for a third berth on the All-Ameri
ca team, was a bit worn in the
Notre Dame fray but would be in
shape for Pennsylvania, a team
the Cadets defeated by a 61 to 0
score a year ago.
Amen’s report underscored • an
earlier statement by Lou Little,
coach of the Columbia Lions who
lost to Pennsylvania by a 41 to 6
count last Saturday.'>
“I won’t say that Penn will beat
Army but I will say that Penn has
the ability and the talent to do
it,” Little declared, explaining that
if “Penn gets off on the right foot
at the start Army will have all
that it can handle.”
Tar Heels Begin Work
For Wake Forest Tilt
CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 11 — (j*P) —
Back home from Richmond and an
impressive triumphant conquest of
William and Mary’s Indians, the
Carolina Tar Heels lost no time in
getting down to work Monday for
the game here Saturday with Wake
Forest, winner over Tennessee and
one of the South’s top teams.
Carolina scouts thought the
Demon Deacons were a little
“Flat” in losing to Duke last week
but pointed out that the Blue Devils
played brilliant defensive football
which Carolina will have difficulty
matching. It is the opinion here that
the improving Tar Heels will have
to play their best to get by the
Deacons, 13-12 winners over Caro
lina last year.
No serious injuries came out of
the William and Mary game.
