HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1939 rT gf\
Carolina Has Its Share
Home Town Boys, Backers
Over Half of Squad
Are North Carolina
Boys, May Have
-eve n in Starting
Line-Up; Winston and
Greensboro Lead.
By M. R. ALEXANDER.
Chapel Hill, Sept. 4.—The Uni
versity of North Carolina football
squad, which resumed preparations
today for its early opener with
Citadel here September 23, to be fol
lowed by Wake Forest, is going to
have its share of home town boys
and supporters.
More than half of the squad mem
bers are North Carolina boys. The
others come from nine states, with
no other state contributing more
than six.
A total of 46 candidates have al
ready reported, including 10 letter
men, Severin and Mallory at end,
Kimball at tackle, Woodson, Sledge,
and Abernethy at guard, Strinweiss
and Lalance at quarter, Radman at
half, and Sadoff at full. Two other
lettermen, Chuck Kline at end and
Bob Smith at center, and Jack Jones,
sophomore center, were expected to
day.
Five of the veterans and probable
starters—Kline, Kimball, Woodson,
Abernethy, and Smith—are North
Carolina boys. And of the two posi
tions whei’e no letterman is available
Mike Bobbitt from Greensboro is
getting first call at right half and
Christian Siewers from Winston is
scrapping it out with Dick White
at left tackle.
The starting eleven, therefore, will
have a decided Tar Heel cast and
may have as many as seven home
state boys.
Winston-Salem is one of the largest
contributors of any Tar Heel city to
the 1939 edition with three leading
prospects. Oddly, all three are grad
uates of the same High school and
are concentrated at tackle and guard.
Gates Kimball, who leads the trio,
looks like a veteran fixture at one
tackle. Siewers is one of two lead
ing contenders at the other. And
Frank Saylor at guard looks like a
coming youngster.
Greensboro also has three outstand
ing representatives in Bobbitt, who
has taken over Captain Watson’s old
post at right half, Charlie Baker, his
and Julian Brantley,
first reserve at right guard. High
Point next-door adds Charlie Idol,
a reserve fullback of promise.
From Charlotte come Bill Blalock,
reserve end; Pinky Elliott, sopho
more end; and Allen Patterson,
sophomore halfback. Leroy Aber
nethy, Jr., guard and son of the Car
olina fullback of another generation,
heads the Asheville boys, while Bill
Little is a brother to Crowell, Car
olina’s quarterback of a cou
ple of seasons back.
Among the other leading Tar
Heels, Co-Captain Jim Woodson at
guai’d is from Salisbury. Chuck Kline
veteran end, is a Carthage boy. And
Bob Smith, the outstanding center,
is now a home-town Chapel Hill boy
but learned his football at Asheville
High School.

WESTERN FARMERS
TO MEET TOMORROW
Cullowhee, Sept. 4.—The third an
nnual Western North Carolina
Farmers’ Convention will be held
at Western Carolina Teachers col
lege here Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week. W. M. Landess, as
sistant chief Os the agricultural
division of the Tennessee Valley
Authority, of Knoxville,, Tenn., will
make the principal address. Har
court A. Morgan, chairman of the
TVA, had been invited to attend
and speak, but had to decline at
the last minute because of an un
expected trip to another part of the
country.
Wake Forest
Pointing To
First ..Game
.Wake Forest, Sept. 4.—With three
games on the schedule for the month
of September, the first of which is
only two weeks away, the Deacons
of Wake Forest ai'e finding plenty
to do in their daily grid workouts.
Coach Peahead Walker issued shorts
and light top shirts to his boys for
Friday and Saturday’s drills, but
ordered heavy equipment to be
donned foday.
While the Deacons have a tough
schedule facing them this year, the
coaches and players seem to have
put aside all thoughts of the im
pending campaign other than the
initial contest of the season with
Lion in Greensboro, on the night of
September 16. All activities are
centering around this game with
the Christians, and others will be
prepared for as they come up.
Captain Rupert Pate, 200 pound
left tackle who hails from Golds
boro, headed, the contingent of Dea
con grid performers returning for
duty this fall. The big captain is a
senior and should have a fine year
for Wake Forest.
Favored by slightly cooler weath
er than usual, Coach Walker and
bis assistants, Murray Greason and
Tom Rogers, were able to put their
boys through two fast workouts
Friday and Saturday. Most of the
time was occupied with wind-build
ing and ) eg-strengthening exercises.
Included m these sessions were a
series of signal drills, calisthenics
and a considerable amount of pass
and punting work.
Coach Walker has made it clear
to his boys this year that none of
them have cinched starting berths
as yet, and that the starting eleven
will be chosen only after he has
seen them work during the next two
weeks.
Topping the passers on the squad
are John Polanski and Joe Dun
cuvage, sophomores. Red Mayberry
is again the leading kicker, although
J. V. Pruitt and Polanski, sophs., are
showing possibilities as punters. *
Enthusiasm is high among the
line candidates. Louis Trunzo,
Wake’s all-southern guai’d, John
Jett, the big 6 ft.. 5 inch end, John
Pendergast and Butch Clark, cen
ters, Clem Crabtree and Ted Kun
kel, tackles, Tom Tingle, guard, and

Eddie Woolbert, end, as will the
entire squad, seem to be in ffne fet
tle and ready to go.
A second-guesser’s guess at a No.
1 line would put Jett and Wolbert,
ends; Pate and Crabtree, tackles;
Trunzo and Tingle, guards;
gast, center.
While two day’s of practice
couldn’t possibly do a great deal to
wards settling very much about the
backfield, it is nevertheless apparent
that five corner fight for the four
starting positions will be waged.
The five boys who are doing this
scraping for No. 1 berths are Red
Mayberry, Jim Ringgold, Marshall
Edwards, and Tony Gallovich, let
termen, and John Polanski, sopho
more.

here is a complete list of the squad

Livestock Men In
Fight for Reduced
Costs of Freight
St. Pauls, Sept. 4.—Livestock pro
ducers of North Carolina have en
tered the fight to obtain equitable
freight rates for the South. C. L.
Ballance, Robeson county farmer and
chairman of the excutive committee
of the North Carolina Livestock Mar
keting Associations, has written a
letter to Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace enlisting his sup
port in an appeal for lower freight
rates from North Carolina to Rich
mond, Baltimore, and other eastern
points.
The mutual livestock marketing
associations which Ballance heads
are promoted by the State College
Extension Service. J. V. Taylor, of
the Pitt County Mutual Exchange,
and H. G. Shelton, of the Edgecombe
Mutual Livestock Association, also
have appealed to Secretary Wallace
for aid.
A hearing is scheduled before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
October relative to an adjustment of
freight rates and other transporta
tion regulations. In response to Bal
lance’s letter, Secretary Wallace said
that the matter had been referred to
the Transportation Section of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, where
it would “receive careful considera
tion.”
PAGE THREE
$2,000 in Prizes
For Exhibits for
County Progress ;
Raleigh, Sept. 4.—Anxious to iq.-*
crease interest of counties, as units,
in the North Carolina State Fair,-
officials of the big exposition to be
held here October 10 to 14, have in
creased the total premiums in the
“county progress exhibits” class to
a grand total of $2,000.
This year, too, there will be ten
awards instead of the four of last
year, which totalled $1,750, Frank H.
Jeter, exhibit director and State Col
lege expert, said today.
♦ First prize will be the substantial
sum of $650; second place will bring
$500; with prizes of S3OO, S2OO and
SIOO for the next three ranking ex-’
hibits and five prizes of SSO each to
the sixth to tenth place counties.
Mr. Jeter and other fair officials
ai-e hopeful that an increased num
ber of county exhibits will be at
tracted by reason of the fact that
there will be much brighter chances
to win a premium and thereby help
defray expenses of making the entry.
Exhibits in the county progress
class will be scored on a basis of 100
divided as follows: Attractiveness of
exhibit 35, balanCbd display 30, ’re
presentative of county 20, and qual
ity of material 15. ,
According to Mr. Jeter, this score
card means that the exhibit should.,
be attractively arranged, well put up
and so planned that it is pleasing tq’
the eye. Second, the display must be.
well balanced between agriculture,
industry and education, as these
three major factors occur within a’
county. - -
“These three--purpose exhibits are
being encouraged so that the. couptv
home and farm agents, vocational
teachers, school officials, boards p£
trade and chambers of commerce,
manufacturers, civic clubs, and wo
men’s organizations will all take a.
part in planning and preparing the
exhibits”, Jeter said.
