MANY ELEVENS

SEE GOOID GAMES
RICHMOND, V*.. Oct. 341.—y/P)—
Southern conference football squads
should be in portion to give their
be*t performances of the fall in
Saturday’s contests.
Several of the schools—notably
the Universities of Virginia and i
Richmond—will present rebuilt ele- j
vena after injuries to key regulars
last week, but for the moat part
the conference teams are in a posi
tion to present their strongest
fronts.
Duke will return to its campaign
within the circuit against Wash
ington and Lee at Richmond after
breaking even in two tries against
Southeastern opposition. Neither
the Blue Devils nor the Generals
have been defeated by a member
school and are at present tied with
North Carolina for top position in
the conference standing.
Wade Drills
Coach Wallace Wade supervised
a long offensive and defensive
scrimmage at Durham yesterday
and indications are that with the
tension of maintaining a perfect
record removed, the Dukes will col
lide with the Generals while trav
eling at top speed.
N. C. State had the week’s only
scrimmage on schedule today. Coach
Hunk Anderson will have all of his]
hospital dwellers back for action;
against North Carolina except pos- i
sibly Eddie Er/w-vistle, halfback |
and Ren Hoek, fullback. "State;
will be fighting to break the old
Carolina Jinx,” Anderson said.
New offensive formations were
tried by Furman in preparation for
the five-man line defense used by
Davidson. Wake Forest scrimmaged
a second team on which Walton
Kitchin, ace back, called Presby
terian college plays.
South Carolina, fully aware o< j

SOUTHEASTERN
SEEKS ADVANTAGE
. .. . %
By The Associated Press
Southeastern conference rans ex
pect their favorite league to main
tain or perhaps improve its 1036
grid advantage over the n«gttbor
ing Southern loop in a brace of
glhies Saturday.
The county stands at seven games
to three and Georgia Tech will be
an odds on favorite to add another
for the Southeastern when Clem
son comes to Atlanta. Maryland in
vades Florida and if there is an
edge here it goes to the Terrapins,
but a Gator victory hardly would
be a great upset.
The Techs stack up in good phy
sical shape except tor Fletcher
Sims, quarter, and Fullback Collins.
Lawrence Hays is being counted on
to do most of the kicking and pass
ing and direct the attack which
centers around the end-running of
“Dutch” Konemann and Harry i
Appleby's tackle thrusts.
Jess Neely wouldn’t guess on
his thrice-beaten Tigers' chances
but indicated Clemson might gam
ble for an upset by heaving a flock
of passes because he figures the
Engineers more vulnerable here
than on the ground. Berry and Mc
Connell are a fine passing duet for
the Carolinians.
