Watch Deacs
Word Around
U. N. C. Drills
Chnpel Hill. Sept. 11.—“ Watch
, v j‘ t , Forest”, is the word that’s go
. . uound the Southern conference
year. And Carolina is no excep
t'd though their coming game with
. ' demon Deacons here is still two
kn off, the Tar Heels, after
l 0 of weeks on fundamentals,
ied today to polishing their of
-0 anc i setting their defense- for
the Baptists.
Coach Ray Wolf’s problems are
complicated by the fact that he must
..VoV’et the Tar Heels ready for their
Opening game here September 23
v : nh the Citadel, itself a Conference
on and scrappy worthy foe ■ for
• - nV team.
,\ ske Forest, however, is not only
i leading Big Five and Conference
r,v:.l; it is being rated by many as
',,’V of the strongest teams in the
league this season.
‘ The Demon Deacons gave not only
Carolina but also Duke’s Rose Bowl
's in d all other comers a titantic
struggle tast y ear - Carolina beat
tiien V 14-6. but Wake Forest tallied
and the score stood 7-6 until
three minutes from the end, and
could just as well have gone the
other way. Duke barely beat them
-_(i and the Deacons were inside
the Devils’ 10-yard stripe several
times, and came within inches of
spoiling Duke’s unscored-on record.
The 1938 Wake Forest team was
a sophomore outfit, and Coach Pea
head Walker has exactly nine regu
lars and one alternate back this year.
If they were that good as green
rookies, w’hat won’t they do as sea
soned veterans? is the question that
luis Carolina supporters worrying.
Against Wake Forest’s array of
veteran talent, Carolina can offer
only five rgeulars and two alter
nates from 1938. And when it comes
to new talent, Wake Forest's fresh
men were exactly 38-0 better than
the Carolina frosh in 1938, although
of course no one can tell how a
sophomore will turn out.
Speaking of sophomores, one of
the Deacon’s 1939 crop is already
being hailed by sports writers as the
greatest backfield prospect ever to !
come up in the State. He is John
Polanski, a 205-pound fullback, and
he is so good Coach Walker is work
ing him into his first backfield, in
spite of the fact that he has three
regulars and one alternate back from
1938. !
These are Tony Gallovich, Jim
Ringgold, Marshall Edwards ,and
Red Mayberry. These boys can run,
block, and snag passes with the best,
as Carolina’s veterans well remem
ber from last year. With the addition
of Polanski. who can also throw that
spheroid. Wake Forest looks like it
now has everything it takes.
Or at least that is the way it looks
to Carolina supporters. So far as
they can see, the Wake Forest game
is going to be a nip-and-tuck affair
which may go either way, and it
may well turn out to be one of the
best games this State will see this
year.
Several Cut
From High
Grid Squad
The paring knife fell on Hender
son high’s football hopefuls Friday
afternoon, after two Rays of drills,
hj i it fell lightly, nipping off some
sis the lads that were far too light,
ifnd*showed little prospects of of-,
fc-ring talent of the type imcessaryj
or grid campaigns.
Coaches Bing Miller .and Fred
Kilpatrick instituted ! “two-a-day”
d: ill:-, with, the first meeting un
derway at 11:30 o’clock this morning,
and the other set for this afternoon.
Heavy equipment was to have
been issued this afternoon, with
plenty of contact work starting

A tough schedule is ahead of the
Bulldogs, and the mentors are losing
little time wnipping the teams into
nape.

Dedication Os
Park Delayed
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter KcteL
Raleigh, Sept. 11.—So unrelenting
is the jinx in its pursuit of the dedi
cation of the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park that it begins to
appear that formal exercises will
likely be postponed again, which will
make the third or fourth time it’s
been put off.
Things were about set for Presi
dent Roosevelt to come down to
Western North Carolina around the
first of October as he started a trip
to the west coast; but along has come
the European war and an almost cer
tain extra session of Congress, which
will keep FDR busy in Washington.
The President has made it clear
that it’s more a question of “when”
than of “if” about that exti'a session;
but even assuming that he did not
call the Senate and House to meet,
it is decidedly unlikely that he could
get away from the capital during
the current world emergency.
The news bureau of North Caro
lina’s Department of Conservation
and Development apparently takes a
more optimistic view of the situation.
It has just issued a release in which
plans for the dedication ceremonies
at Newfound Gap are outlined.
When, and if, the dedication is
held, Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickes is expected to preside; and
short addresses by Governor Hoey
of North Carolina and Cooper of Ten
nessee are scheduled.
The ceremonies will be held in
front of the Rockfeller memorial
which stands exactly on the line be
tween North Carolina and Tennessee.
The plaque on the memorial will
likely be unveiled by John D.
Rockefeller, Jr.
DR. FRANK GRAHAM

Raleigh, Sept. 11.—(AP) —Dr.
Frank Porter Graham, president of
the University of North Carolina,
Staid with emphasis today “I am
not a candidate, and I do not in
tend to become a candidate”, when
asked if he expected to< run for
governor.

Arriving in New York on the Manhattan , largest vesseljof the United

she shared with three other women. Every nook and cranny of the liner,
Including even the grand salon, was fiHed with cots to accommodate a
record passenger list of 1,573 refugees from the European war.
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1939
lished that President Graham might
be induced to seek the 1940 Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination and
that he was receiving many offers
of support from all parts of North
Carolina.
There are five “unannounced”
candidates now in the field.
The university president made it
plain that education was his first
love and that he expected to remain
in that field.
It has been known for sometime
that President Graham in recent
years has received offers of posi
tions in the public service and also
executive positions in industry else
where, some of*which would pay
several times what he gets as presi
dent of the university, but he has
declined all of them.
This, together with his lifelong
attachment to the University of
North Carolina in all its divisions,
was believed to add emphasis to
Doctor Graham’s statement that he
would not enter the race.
DISPUTE ARISES OVER
CARGO OF SCRAP IRON
Beaufort, Sept. 11.—Capt. Oscar
L.aas, of Tallinn, Esthonia, master
of the steamship Vapper, whicn ar
rived at the Morehead City port
terminal Friday, stead today that
the crossing from Gdynia, Poland,
took 23 days. *
The vessel had been expected to
cake on a partial cargo of scrap
metal here but there was some dis
pute today between the owners of
the Vapper and the owner of the
scrap metal whether she would start
loading, as the cargo was scheduled
to go to a port of the United King
dom. This is all resulting from the
week-old war which started in
Europe since the vessel’s departure
from Poland.
Prior to clearing from Gdynia,
where the Vapper had spent three
days taking on coal, she had been
at. Konigsberg, East Prussia, dis
charging a cargo of Canadian pulp
wood. While in Gdynia, Captain
Laas stated that many transports
and war vessels of Germany ar
rived in port. Since his vessel’s
departure from that port, Gdynia
has become a target for enemy war
fare, suffering from a number of
plane Raids.
i Captain Laas stated that during
the World War he was master of
the steamship Vera, which was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German
submarine while she was enroute
from England to Australia with a
cargo of china clay. He and mem
i bers of the crew surviving the
I sinking of the Vera were landed in
! Spain.
Tackle, Center
Big Problem
For Ray Wolf
Cnapel Hill, Sept. 11.—Tackle
and center were the big question
marks over the North Carolina tine
m the Tar Heels opened their third
week of early practice this mor
: ting.
Bob Smith at center and Gates
Kimball at right tackle are the
omy veterans back. Dick White,
195-pound : ophomore, has been
showing up well at Ihe other
tackle. However, a team can’t play
a schedule iiKe Carolina’s with one
center and a couple of tackles. And
the reserve strength oehind these
men still looked short and inex
perienced today.
Coach Ray Wolf rushed work re
building the Tar Heel line this mor
ning and will continue to do so
tne next few days. The opening
game with The Citadel is only a
week from Saturday, and im
mediately after comes Wake Forest
with reportedly one of the strong
est teams in the Conference. More
over, classes will start Friday, and
practice will be limited to one-a
day. .
The rest of the team was shaping
up nicely today. The blocking,
tackling, and execution of plays
were beginning to take on polish..
George Stmnweiss, Jim Lalanne,
and their aerial circus looked par
ticularly potent. The flanks and
rest of the backfield appeared fair
ly strong.
There were also some reserves,
though not a surplus, who have
been showing up at these positions,
but unfortunately, tackle and cen
ter were another story.
Carl Suntheimer, who is holding
forth at center until Bob Smith gets
back in shape for hard work after
his recent illness, heads the re
serves here and he is an untried
sophomore. George Ralston at 165
is a scrappy reserve but rather
light for heavy duty, and Red Ben
ton is both light and inexperienced.
The situation at tackle was even
gloomier. Christian Siewers and .
George Spransy, who were being
counted upon to back up Dick
White, were on the sick list. And
Dick Sieck and Gwynn Nowell,
who were being groomed to relieve
Gates Kimball were slowed up with
blisters and bruises. About the
only other candidates were Ed
Moynihan and Jim Sheek, and they
are green sophs.
Leßoy Aberpethy, Jr., and Chuck
Slagle, guards, and one or two
others’ names have been linked with
rumors of possible shifts to bolster
Carolina’s strength at tackle.

URGES COVER CROPS
SOWN IN ORCHARDS
College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 11.
—H. R. Niswonger, extension horti
culturist at State College, advised
farmers today to sow winter cover
crops in their apple and peach or
chards to build up the soil and to pre
vent soil erosion.
He explained that orchard soils
will not store large quantities of
water in winter and spring months
unless there is a coves in the or
chard to prevent a run-off of these
periodical rains.
September may be utilized profit
ably, Niswonger said, in preparing
the land for sowing these crops. The
kind of cover to use depends, of
course, upon the kind of soil, the
slope of the land, and the experi
| ence of the grower with a crop which
I best suits his conditions.
Growers may consider the follow
ing crops for providing winter cover:
rye or vetch or a combination of the
two; rye or crimson clover or a com
bination of both; winter oats,
trian winter peas, and winter rye
grass.
NO SWINE AUCTION
AT THE STATE FAIR
Raleigh, Sept. 11.—There will be
no auction sale of hogs at this year’s
State Fair here, October 10 to 14, as
there has her** Jn the past, H. W.
Taylor, Extension swine specialist
and head of the fair’s swine division,
said today. Exhibitors who have any
fat hogs for sale, however, will be
assisted in every way possible to dis
pose of their animals, he added, if
they desire help.
Mr. Taylor stressed the advisability
of entering hogs in the various classes
as soon as possible in order to avoid
confussion in allocation of pen space.
This will be doubly important this
year, he declared, because more ex
habits are expected then ever before.
TREATING OF SEED
TO CONTROL SMUTS
Halifax, Sept. 11.—Virtually com
plete control of smuts affecting,
small grains has been secured by
treating seed before planting, a test
conducted on the farm of P. E.
Shields, Scotland Neck, shows.
F. W. Reams, assistant farm agent
of Halifax county, together with Dr.
Luther Shaw, extension plant patho
logist at State College, conducted the
experiments. New improved ceresan,
copper carbonate, and cuprocide gave
complete control of stinking smut on
Red Heart wheat when used before
the seed were planted.
The improved cerasan also gave
complete control of loose smut in the
, Lee variety of oats.
