What’s Cookin’
By Roy Cook
Monday night the Senior Fraternity held their fifteenth
annual Ladies night banquet at the Friendly Cai eteria.
As is the custom, the presentation of the William Mont
gomery trophy was made to the member voted the most out
standing in the Fraternity during the past year.
The young man to whom the trophy is given dees not know
he lias been selected until the announcement is made at the ban
quet.
We were sitting across the table from Jack Hart when
President R. C. Shackelford, himself winner of the cup last year,
rose to make the announcement.
The room was quiet as each person present leaned forward
to hear the name of the member selected. Jack Hart did not have
anv idea that he had been chosen.
President Shackelford told those present that the trophy
v»m» awarded each year by William (Bill) Montgomery, a former
executive director of the Brigade Boys club. He was careful to
pond out that the man receiving the trophy had given freely of
hi tine in the boys program at the Brigade.
It is with a great pleasure that I present this beautiful
trophy to Jack Hart,” Shackelford said.
Jack blushed and strolled to the speakers table.
JACK HART R. C. SHACKLEFORD
We would like to add our vote to those members of the
Fraoternity who selected Jack to receive the trophy. We know
of no one who has contributed more time, effort and patience to
the Bovs Brigade during the past year than Jack Hart.
During the early spring the owners of the Wilmington Pi
rates baseball club met with Jimmy Copeland, executive director
nf the Brigade and Harold Culler, physical director and laid plans
for the organization of a Brigade-Pirate Knot Hole gang.
It was a splendid gesture on the part of the baseball club.
Jack Hart took over the boys and admitted them to all of
the Pirate home games. He worked with them and assigned vari
ous boys to duties of chasing foul balls and helping the baseball
club in many ways.
A member of the Brigade Boys club and later a member of
the Senior Fraternity, Hart has been interested in the Brigade
activities for more than 25 years.
We feel that “Bill’' Montgomery will be pi. ud to learn the
trophy was awarded to Jack Hart. The awarding of the trophy
each year is his way of expressing appreciation to the leaders in
the Brigade Boys work.
Jack Hart has done a swell job and he can now realize
that his efforts have been recognized by his fellow members.
Congratulations, Jack Hart. It is men like yourself that
are helping to mould the future of America’s youth.

DEMON DEACONS
FORCED INDOORS
WAKE FOREST, Oct. 23—(H)
—Rainy weather drove Wake
Forest’s Demon Deacons in
doors today for a dummy
scrimmage in light equipment
instead of the rough outdoor
session that coach D. C. Walker
had planned.
The Deacons worked on de
fense against William and Mary
plays and then ran their own
offensive formations for a while
in preparation for Saturday’s
meeting with William and
Mary.
Varsity end Ed Duncan, who
suffered a badly wrenched knee
against Duke last Saturday,
missed the practice, and Walk
er was fearful that Duncan
would not be in shape for play
Saturday.
Carl Haggard, second string
wingback, was in the infirmary
with a bad cold, and Don
Hipps, second string blocking
back, and Bill George, reserve
tackle and kickoff specialist,
were nursing injuries suffered
in the George Washington
game._

Tar Heels Work In Strict Secrecy;
Vols Look Over Carolina Formations
Coach S n a v e 1 y Drills
Charges On Wet, Muddy
Gridiron
CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 28 —I*
—North Carolina’s Tar Heels
went into strict secrecy today
as they launched serious prep
arations for the game with Ten
nessee’s Vols here Saturday.
Apparently bent on making
every effort to avenge last sea
son’s defeat at the hands of the
Vols, the only loss sustained by
Carolina during the season,
coach Carl Snavely and his
aides put their men through a
long, hard workout.
Considerable scrimmage
work took place, but no details
were given out.
The recently overhauled
backfield with Hosea Rodgers
the bright new star at fullback,
ran against Tennessee defen
sive formations. Johnny
Clements, who sustained a neck
injury in the Florida game, was
the only absentee.
The workout took place on a
muddy field and wtih rain fall
ing a good portion of the time.
Meanwhile Athletic officials
announced that a few more
than 3 000 tickets are still on
sale, with indications that t h e
contest wlil be a near sellout
of more than 43,000 by the time
of Saturday’s 2 p.m. kickoff.
WOLFPACK DRILLS
FOR NIGHT GAME
RALEIGH, Oct. 28—(#)—N. C.
State’s Wolfpack went through
another two hour scrimmage
session this afternoon as coach
Beattie Feathers concentrated
on the development of his of
fensive to throw against the Un
iversity of Chattanooga here
Saturday night.
Tailback Leslie Palmer ran
with the first team and ap
peared to be adopting himself
to his new position without any
trouble. Palmer, who was
switched yesterday from full
back, raced 45 yeards in an end
sweep during the scrimmage.
Palmer tried his hand at
passing during the drill and
was responsible for several
completions to end Bill Stanton
and wingback Gordon Good
man.
Injuries continued to plague
the squad. At the left end spot
where George Blomquist is out
with a twisted onkle, Feathers
alternated Stanton and sopho
more June Cheek.
Sophomore Gordon Goodman
and freshman William Thomp
son continued to fill in at wmg
back where Oscar Bozeman is
out because of an old injury.

Duke Sputters, Stumbles
Under Jayvee Scrimmage
DURHAM, Oct. 28 —W)—Step
ping up the pace of prepara
tions for Saturday’s battle with
powerful and undefeated Geor
gia Tech in Atlanta, Duke’s un
beaten Blue Devils went
through a long, hard session
here this afternoon.
Little satisfaction could be
gained from the work, however,
since the Junior Varsity outfit,
armed with engineer plays,
made good gains against the
Varsity and later when the Var
sity went on offense against the
Jayvees the Duke attack sput
tered and stumbled.
While the Blue Devils have
faced tough opposition Satur
day after Saturday and have
been battled down to the finish
in every ball game except the
one with Tennessee, the up
coming engagement is unques
tionably the toughest the Blue
Devils have been called upon to
face this season.______
In marching to five straight
victories over Tennessee, Tu
lane, V.M.I., Auburn and The
Citadel, the Yellow Jackets
have had things entirely their
way. At no time have they been
pressed and all their wins have
been by a comfortable margin.
They have one of the trickiest
backfields in the nation opera
ting behind a big and powerful
line.
The Engineers, ranking sixth
in the nation, flattened the Blue
Devils in Durham last season
and will be determined to do
the same thing in Atlanta Sat
urday. Duke has gone to Atlan
ta before with unbeaten records
and reutrned to Durham defeat
ed.
The Duke Athletic office an
nounced again today that there
were no tickets remaining here
for the contest. The game has
been a sell-out since July.
Richmond Officials Seek
Review Of Morgan s Case
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 28—(A9
—Vernon Morgan, University of
Richmond freshmen who early
this month was declared ineli
gible for Southern Conference
Athletic competition because he
signed a professional baseball
contract in 1944, was declared
a free agent today and univer
sity officials indicated that they
would request a review of the
eligibility question by the con
ference erective commettee.
Action voiding Morgan’s con
tract with the New York
Giants, signed when he was 15
years old, came today at Co
lumbus, Ohio from minor
league president George Traut
man.
Southern Conference Presi
dent William C. Couper, who
heads the executive committee,
said after Trautman’s an
nouncement that the oommtitee
would reconsider its decision if
such action were requested by
University officials.
A spokesman for the Univer
sity, informed of Couper’s com
ment, said college officials
were “overjoyed” to hear of
Trautman’s action and would
take all steps necessary “to
have Morgan’s eligibility re
stored.” *
In Indianapolis, Richmond At
torney John J. Wicker, Jr., who
appealed the executive commit
tee decision to the Richmond
Circuit Curt, said he was “nat
urally delighted” to hear that
Morgan had been declared a
free agent.
“Morgan and I,” Wicker said,
“have always maintained that
the so-called ‘contract’ never
had any validity whatsoever. I
sincerely hope that the south
ern conference, which has
heretofore done justice by Jus
tice (Charlie Justice of North
Carolina) will now do equal jus
tice by Morgan.”
(Ten days ago, the confer
ence upheld the eligibility of
Justice, star North Carolina
tailback, who signed a profes
sional ‘contract’ with the Phila
delphia Eagles of the National
Football league while in the
Navy at Bainbridge, Md. How
ever, this contract was not ap
proved by the National Football
league. Wicker contended that
the two cases were indentical.”)
Morgan a three sports star
who played last year with Fork
Union Military Academy before
enrolling at Richmond Univer
sity this fall, admitted to the
conference executive committee
that he signed the contract with
the Giants. But he never report
ed to the club. The University
requested a ruling on his status
in September and he has not
played in any of the college’s
football games this fall.
Coach Bob Neyland Sends
Squad Through Light
Scrimmages
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28
—(/PI—Tennessee’s Vols took
their first look at North Caro
lina formations today and at the
same time heard an awesome
report on the Tar Heels’ foot
ball prowess from scout Harvey
Robinson.
“The Tar Heels looked great
against Florida. They 'scored
three touchdowns on nine plays
in three and a half minutes of
the first quarter, and then sat
back and took it easy,” said
Robinson, Vol assistant coach
who has scouted tk Carolinians
in several games.
Coach Bob Neyland devoted
most of this afternoon’s drill to
a long dummy scrimmage
against a “B” team which Rob
inson had armed with Tar Heel
plays.
Neyland announced the Vols
would go to Chapel Hill in sec
tions, part of the squad leaving
by train Thursday afternoon
and the remainder by airliner
Friday morning.
WHITEmESCT
FOR CHADBOURN
WHITEVILLE, Oct. 28 — De
termined to show that they are
a better team than they seemed
in last Thursday night’s 21-7
loss to Tabor City, Whiteville
High school Wolfpack today put
the past in the past and settled
down to work for Friday night’s
fracas with a fast improving
Chadbourn Panther.
The ’Pack came through the
bitter district championship loss
to the Red Devils without mis
hap, with the exception of Co
captain Joe Inman. The versa
tile athlete had a recurrence of
an old rib injury, which has
bothered him since the opening
of the season, when he and a
Devil backfield man collided on
a pass play late in the contest.
He was taken to a local hospi
tal but was released after a
check-up. He is expected to be
ready to go against the Pan
thers.
Earl Brinkley, mentor ox the
locals, is still having trouble
with his wing positions. Against
Tabor City he shifted his two
co-captains, Joe Inman and
Cal Smith to the end spots, and
they both played a whale of a
game. However, in doing so
Brink weakened his eleven in
the tackle and backfield, as was
shown in the game Thursday
night.
It is not known at this time
whether or not he will leave
Smith and Inman on the wings,
but some changes are antici
pated. Several members of the
Junior Varsity have been show
ing up well in late contests and
may be in line for promotion.
The JV’s “got hot” Friday in
winning their first game of the
year (or, as far as that goes
their first game, period, since
this is their initial season of
play) with the victim being
Bladenboro. The score was 44
to 0. Individual stars were El
ton Hammonds, Joe and Riley
Powell, J. T. Smith, Jimmy
Nance, Jimmy Quinerly, and
Horton.
The Panthers have a fairly
strong aggregation and are ex
pected to give the ‘Pack quite
a struggle.

Michigan Has Average
Of 436 Yards Per Game
Vational Collegiate Athletic Bureau Figures
Show Penn State Leads Rushing Offense
And Michigan In Front With Passing
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. —(JP)— Once-mighty Minnesota
may not be going anywhere this fall, but if the Gophers can
dig any holes for the ambitions of others, they’ll do it.
They proved that last week when they put a serious
crimp in Michigan’s bid for a new football record in total of
fense — gains both rushing and passing.
Michigan won the game all right, 13-6. but was out
gained on the ground by the Gophers and had nearly 50
yards clipped from the Wolverine total offensive average
of 484.5 boasted the previous week.
However, National Collegiate
Athletic Bureau statistics today
show that the Big Nine leader
still is substantially ahead in
total offense rankings with 436.6
yards per game upstairs and
down.
Michigan’s forward passing of
fense leadership still was main
tained, too, although it shrank
from 220 per game to 202.2. In
rushing offense Michigan, 11th
umbled clear out of
the first 15.
Thus the Wolverines lost
ground in their quest of Army’s
record 462.7 total offense aver
age established in 1945.
Penn State’s Nittany Lions, 21
14 victors over West Virginia,
increased their average in con
tinuing to lead the nation’s ma
jor teams in rushing offense,
jumping from 322 yards per
game last week to 326.6 for this
week’s compilations. The rug.
ged Penn State defense also
tumbled West Virginia from
second place in total offense
listings down to 10th.
Detroit, on the strength of
547 yards amassed against Du
quesne, jumped from 15th to
2nd in rushing offense. Wichita
climbed from sixth to third by
rolling up 405 yards in a 55-7
rout of Flagstaff State.
Five of the first six total of
fense leaders are undefeated —
Michigan, Penn State, Georgia
Tech, Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia.
The Wolverines accumulated
1,011 yards from 44 pass comple
tions in 79 attempts.
Bingham Young, in six games
— one more than Michigan —
collected 1,113 yards in the air
to lead in that respect. West
Virginia, with 12 touchdown
passes, leads that department.
Most efficient passing team is
Yale, which completed 16 of 24
in routing Springfield last week
to bring the ELI total to 57 com
pletions in 95 tries for a 60 per
cent average. Georgia Tech has
been successful 59 percent of the
time and Notre Dame 57 percent.
