PAGE TWO Davidson Has Powerful Passing Attack Ready Chapel Hill, Oct. 18.—North Caro lina’s football team will face its sec ond strong passing opponent in as many weeks Saturday when it girds loins with Davidson’s scrapping Wild- ; cats at Davidson. NYU’s highly-touted Violets gave the Tar Heels many ujieasy moments last Saturday with a dazzling display | of passes that threatened to bring , several scores. The Violets complet- ( i ed nearly 50 percent of their aerials —2O of 44, to be exact —for a total gain of 194 yards. But the Tar Heels managed to hold in the pinches. Within their own 20-yard line the | Southerners’ aerial stand was particu- , larly potent. Several passes were i l?at/5a down and near the end zone ( to check the aerial march of the 1 Gotham team. 1 1 Davidson’s pass record is almost as i Wake’s Sophomores Prime For Mighty Blue Devils Wake Forest, Oqt. 18.—Wake For est and Duke University football teams will have plenty “color” to give the fans Saturday when they clash in Winston Salem in the dedication feature of the Twin City’s new Bow man Gray Memorial Stadium. Although the powerful Dukes are playing without the services of their colorful star, George McAfee, south paw kicker and passer, they have a worthy successor to the famed speed ster in his young brother, Sophomore Wesley McAfee. Young Wesley can <lo plenty with a football. He kicks 50 and 60 yards with ease, passes well, and is a fine runner. Against Georgia Tech, Wesley flip ped a pass that put the ball deep in Jacket territory and then slashed off tackle on a beautiful run fop his team’s only and winning touchdown. Here is one personal engagement for Saturday afternoon, and it should cer tainly be a fine one. Lanky Bob O’Maro is a hard plunging fullback and weighs 190 pounds. Wake Forest’s Marshall Edwards plays opposite O’Mara and weighs 190. Both boys starred for their respective teams last week, and their encounter this week will be a pretty sight. Then, too, there will be Wake For Purdue Chases a Ram Fortunato, of the Fordham Rams, is shown in the foreground “backed up* by a team of Purdue Boilermakers who seem about to chase him off the field after a Purdue kick in the Fordham-Purdue football game at the Polo Grounds, New York City.

Two of the hits were touchdowns. Four others resulted indirectly in scores. Coaches Johnny Morriss and Dick Jamerson, who have scouted the Wild cats on several occasions this fall, have been particularly impressed with the passing of Archie Steed and Bill Davis, backs. And they report that Steed and Davis are also standouts as runners and kickers. The game also marks Carolina’s third defense of its State and South ern Conference titles this season? In their first two starts Coach Ray Wolf’s charges beat Wake Forest 14-6 and N. C. State 21-0. _____ est’s Red Mayberry who will attempt to match the fine punting of Blue Devil Wesley McAfee. Those two boys are, without a doubt, the best kickers in North Carolina this fall. & Mai Stevens Says Tar Heels Weaker Team This Year Chapel Hill, Oct. 18.—The Tar Heels got a nice hand from the New York sperts writers for their upset victory over NYU Saturday ... There were bouquets for everybody, but the per formances of Co-Captains Steve Ma ronic and George Watson, and George Stirnweiss were singled out most fre quently ... Steady Steve was the standout in a Carolina line which re fused to yield in the pinches, and the other tackle, Gates Kimball, also did a good job ... Stirnweiss averaged 5 yards a try in rushing and Watson had an average of 4 ... Coach Mai Stevens of NYU thinks Watson is as valuable as any man on the Carolina team ... “I’ve watched him for three years now,” Coach Mai said after the HENDERSON, (N. £.) DAILY DISPATCH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1938 game Saturday, “and he’s my boy in that backfield”.. .Coach Mai said he didn’t think the Tar Heels quite as strong as last year’s club and said he wished his luck but said he wouldn’t be surprised to see them drop one or two games ... Doubtless he had Ford ham and Duke in mind ... There was some encouragement in Stirnweiss’ punting ... he averaged 40.5 from the line of scrimmage and placed ’em well ... But the Tar Heels looked pretty bad on their passing attack, completing only 3 of 12 tried while NYU was completing 20 of 44 ... The Violets also had the better of the argument in rushing, their net being 143 compared to Carolina’s net of 119 ... In first downs NYU led 16 to 5... Carolina’s victory was alijiost as big an upset as the Syracuse win over Cornell ... Most of the Gotham sports writers had picked the Violets to win. NINTH GRADERS GET WIN OVER JR. HIGHS A ninth grade grid team avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of a team representing the Junior high school yesterday afternoon at the Junior high lot, winning 18 to 0 on two touchdowns by O. C. Hamm and one by Blondy Garrett. Neither of the teams is coached by any member of the faculties of the schools, the boys playing on their own “hook”, and without equipment. Capital Gossip BY HENRY AVERITX Raleigh, Oct. 18. —The news office, Department of Conservation and De velopment, has issued a bulletin list ing 34 “Coming Events in North Car olina.” Wilmington, apparently waking up from some century or more of Rip Van Winkling, is listed as the site for no less than eleven of them. The City-by-the-Sea gets, among other outstanding events, a regional conference of the North Carolina Commission on Interracial Coopera tion tomorrow, one terminus of the Southport to Wilmington Motor Boat Marathon Race on October 23 to 30, a session of the regional division, N. C. Building and Loan League, October 25; and a joint debate between Sena tor Robert M. LaFollettc and Con gressman Hamilton Fish on Novem ber 28 at a Community Forum Lec ture. Charlotte and Raleigh follow Wil mington in number of events listed as “coming.” Each has four. Not one, but two, releases from the national convention of the Future Farmers of America and national con tests for students of vocational agri culture, now current in Kansas City, Missouri, inform us that ‘‘Future Farmers of America from the State of North Carolina are being repres ented on the floor of the eleventh na tional convention this week by Harold Francis, Waynesville, and Clifton Davenport, Dover. The delega tion officially represents the 9,540 members in this State.” The F. F. A. press agent appaprent ly was taking no chances on one getting lost in the mails. Revocation of 103 licenses last week brought to 18,951 the number of motor vehicle drivers prohibited by law from operating in North Caro lina. Driving drunk accounted for all re vocations except: Hit and run 6, driver after license revoked three, larceny of automobile one, and two offenses of reckless driving one. Raleigh’s State employes, a large percentage of the population when considered with the families, are watching developments as the various department heads go before the Bud get Bureau this week with estimates of funds needed for the next bien nium. Obviously there is going to be a crying need for more revenue, as the State’s budget must be greater than ever before; but equally { obviously that close-fisted Budget Bureau isn’t going to recommend a penny more than it has to. After several weeks of emotional excitement, North Carolina ffrid fans can cool off a bit. this week as all Big Five games look like set-ups. State ought to take Furman in a can ter, Wake isn’t a match for Duke and if Davidson pushes Carolina there ought to be a congressional investi gation off the affair. Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain is in what might bee ailed a bit of a spot. Some of the people want the British premier knighted. And some want to crown him.

The Davidson County display, pictured at the lower right, won first prize of $750. It featured diversified farming and the balance of industry. Farm steads, school buildings, factories and business houses wEfre modeled. Rural electrification was depicted by power lines connecting the model structures. Attention was called to the fact that Davidson County has 3,641 farms sup porting nearly half of the county’s to tal population of 45,000 persons. Sec ond prize of SSOO went to the Cleve land County exhibit, shown at the top left. Famous citizens, good roads, honest government, modern schools and churches and a comparison of farm and industrial income were all included in the exhibit. This display appealed to the ear as well as the eye, with a public address system con tinually calling attention to the ad vantages of Cleveland, the largest cot ton-producing county in the State. Caldwell County won third prize of S3OO with its exhibit, shown at the lower left. Rural electrification was stressed by this county, which called itself “The Brightest Spot in Dixie.” Educational advancements, including 13 home demonstration clubs and 22 girls’ 4-H Clubs, also were illustrated. “The Best Balanced County in a Balanced State” was the theme of the Edgecombe Count#; booth, shown at the top right, kfid 4 the winner of fourth prize of S2OO. Agricultural and industrial products were exhibited, and comparisons were drawn between the yields and quality of farm pro ducts o,f 25 years ago and today.
