; With ilght and inexperienced ma
terial to mold into a team and a
tough schedule ahead, coaches dt
Henderson high school were in a
dilemma today, and could see little
hope for the Bulldogs.
Bing Miller and Fred Kilpatrick
have a real problem. When they dish
out a little hard work to the lads, in
juries occur, which throw the play
ers out of drills for a few days, then
at game time, the lads just don l
know what its all about, having miss
ed so much practice.
Yesterday, injuries struck again
during a rather comparative light
session. Turner, second string center
filling in for the injured Sanders,
was likely lost for the season with
an injured shoulder.
The squad is down to 22 men, the
smallest in some years.
H. Faulkner, recently shifted to the
line, is ailing, Jerry Faulkner, back,
is still bothered by a knee he hurt
when he stepped in a hole. Blake is
also on the injured list, and may not
play Thursday.
Coach Miller intends to do a little
shifting, with Sumpier going to end
in an attempt to halt end sweeps.
James Grissom, big tackle that
weighs well over 200 pounds, is just
so much beef in the line. Grissom

Wake Forest and Virginia Tech games. In the Wake Forest contest he
blocked and recovered Red Mayberry’s attempted 1 nt to set up the
stage for Carolina’s fifth touchdown. Faircloth brok through frequently

REDS LOSE AS MYERS MUFFS FREY’S THROW
With Yankees on first and third and none out in the first half of the ninth inning, the Yanks trailing
the Reds by a score of 4 to 2, Catcher Bill Dickey of the Yanks hit a “double-play grounder” to Lonnie Frey,
Reds’ second baseman. Frey tossed it to Billy Myers, who muffed the catch, as shown in this phonephoto.
One run scored on the play and the Yanks went ahead to win by 7 to 4. Had the play been made without
error, Myers would have thrown to first, doubling up Dickey, and only one more out would have been
needed. DiMaggio is shown sliding safely into second as the ball falls from Myers’ glove. Frey is at right.

State Grid
Teams Meet
Damyankees
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
in lhf~. S ,r Walter Hotel.
By HENRY AVERILL
Raleigh, Oct. 10.—The dam
yankees will invade North Carolina
this coming Saturday and already
i have a battle rendezvous to keep
| with Tar Heel defenders at Kenan
I Stadium in Chapel Hill.
Like their ancestors who followed
Sherman in 1865, the invaders will
I be seeking revenge for a long series
sos defeats at the ahnds of Dixie’s
| doughty hosts; because the sons of
U. N. C who will attempt to repel
the New York University footballers
I have licked the Violets thrice in a
row in the biggest city of America.
But a renewal of the War Between
the States isn’t all that football
fans in this vicinity nave to look
forward to lor Saturday. There has
been conveniently scheduled as bit
ter an internecine brawl as the most
fastidious can demand. Wake Forest
arid North Carolina State are down
for an arclight affair right here on
Riddick field.
All of which will give opportunity
to see two games in one day, though
not for the price of one.
While all this is going on, other
members of North Carolina’s Big
Five will be playing out of the State
—Duke at Pittsburgh against a very
potent Panther, and Davidson will
have met, on Friday at Sumter, the
University of South Carolina.
Your correspondent saw Duke for
the first time last Saturday and came
away from the Blue Devils lair with
the very definite impression that
Wallace Wade has another powerful
team; though by no means one which
has yet proved itself great. Don’t be
too optimistic because of the 37-0
rout of Colgate’s . Maroons, as the
visitors from Hamilton, N. Y., col
lapsed completely in the second half.
The Devils are big and strong,
have at least four boys who can
kick a football from here to yonder,
and are as alert as a politician look
ing for a hand to shake. This boy
Killian can go through a broken
field slicker than a pickpocket
through the jeans of a hick at the
State fair. George McAfee and the
others do more than just look pretty
in a dark blue uniform. Most of the
time they seem to be in quite a hur
ry to get somewhere, and quite of
ten arrive at the desired destination.
State, on the form of the game it
played against Tennessee could beat
Wake Forest on the basis of the game
the Deacs misplayed against Caro
lina; but, unfortunately for the Wolf
pack, perhaps unfortunately at any
rate, that isn’t what they'll pay off
on come this Saturday night. Wake
couldn’t possibly be quite as bad as
it looked in Chapel Hill and State’s
defense against Clemson was ob
viously much more porous than
against the bowl-hungry Vols from
Knoxville. Yet they do say the
Wolves performed better on offense
than in previous outings.
Anyway, what’s the use in com-
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1939
paring previous records and scores
when these bitter rivals meet? it
ought to be one whale of a spectacle,
though for finesse and perfection it
will probably fall something short
of the Caroiina-NYU doings over
at the Hill.
And there you have something,
too. Brer’ Wolf’s Heels failed to
startle or sparkle against V. P. 1., but
were due for a letdown after they
way they mauled and mandandled
Citadel and Wake Forest.
The New York Times described
the NYU-Colgate battle as “featured
by the terrific hitting power of the
Violets inside and outside of tackle,”
and told of a tremendous 200-pound
line behind which fast backs operat
ed.
So what? So you guess the winners,
this corner has had no luck at rid
dle reading.
Deacons Point
To State Game
Wake Forest, Oct. 10. —With a
soothing ointment in the form of a
33-0 victory over Miami University,
1938 Florida State champions, last
week easing the pains of their 36-6
submission to Nona Carolina a week
earlier, Coach D. C. (Peahead)
Walker’s Wake Forest Deacons now
point for the tradition-bound en
counter with N. C. State at Raleigh
Saturday night.
Last year Coach Doc Newton’s
boys pulled an upset to defeat the
Baptists 1 and except in one or
two instances the same teams that
tangled a year ago will meet again
Saturday. By graduation the past
spring Wake Forest lost two regulars
and the toll over Roleigh State Col
lege way was one lighter.
While N. C. State has been parti
cularly famous for giant-killing foot
ball teams and all opponents expect
a real battle when the Wolfpack
shows its fangs, Wake Forest’s repu
tation is, on the otherhand, not the
same, although Peahead Walker has
taught his Deacons to preach a dang
erous text to their opposition this
year. In 1938 State had a particular
ly hard season by the scorebook, and
scored 59 points to the opposition’s
86. Wake Forest by records had a
total of 161 points to the opposition’s
91. But figures don’t and still don’t
mean a thing to Wake Forest and
State when they enter their annual
“Wake county championship” en
gagement each year.
Both Wake Forest and State came
mighty close to marring the perfect
record of the Rose Bowl Dukes last
year, and Duke was pushed to beat
both teams by a one touchdown
margin. And incidentally the Deacs
and Wolves were two of the three
teams that got within the unscored
on Blue Devils’ 10-yard stripe last
year, during the regular season. Col
gate was the third club to do this.
Now it appears that the Wolfpack-
Deac encounter this year should ex
hibit superior playing to the same
contest a year ago.' Both teams have
played in-and-out football this sea
son, which probably is an indication
that anything can happen when they
go together this week.
Wake Forest will not be at top
strength for this week’s setto. Louis
Trunzo, all-Southern guard injured
in the Tar Heel contest, cannot pos
sibly be ready by Saturday. Melvin
Layton, sub fullback, hurt an ankle
just before the Miami trip and is
limping considerably. Freddie Welch,
reserve halfback, is in the hospital
with tonsilitis and will not be avail
able.
Coach Walker started Marshall
(Wheelhorse) Edawards against Mi
ami last week in place of Tony Gal
lovich, to bolster the Deacon defense,
but it was Galloping Tony who inter
cepted a Hurricane pass and return
ed it 44 yards into touchdown terri
tory. And to top off his day’s work,
he turned in an 89 yard run from
scrimmage for 6 points, and follow
ed up with a third marker on a 19-
yard trek.
Edwards likewise had several long
runs to his credit, although not
reaching the enemy goal line, and
just which of the two will draw the
starting assignment to face the Wolf
pack Saturday night, will be determ
ined by their performances in this
week’s workouts.
Wake Forest and N. C. State, this
week’s opponents, have met on the
gridiron 31 times since 1907. The
Wolfpack holds a decided margin
of victories over the Wake Deacons,
22 wins against 7 losses. Two games
ended in 0-0 deadlocks.
Cotton Field
Dedication Is
Next Friday
Henderson Institute Panthers meet
the Orange County Training School,
of Chapel Hill, here Friday afternoon
at 2:15 o’clock on Cotton Field, the
game to feature dedication cere
monies of the fine athletic field re
cently completed by WPA.
E. M. Rollins, superintendent of
public schools, and others will ap
pear on the program and at dedica
tion.
The Chapel Hill team is one of
the strongest the Panthers will strike
during the season. Henderson has
won one, tied one and lost four in
the series with Chapel Hill, all of
the games being close scores.
A real battle is to be offered, with
the Panthers being whipped into top
shape by their coaches. The game
will be brought to spectators by a
public address system.
Hitler wants to know if England
and France are willing to fight. That
guy, evidently, can’t fell the differ

Stirnweiss Returns To
Duty, Tar Heels Stock
Takes Decided Upswing
Chapel Hill, Oct. 10. —With Gen
eral Stirnweiss back at the controls,
North Carolina’s aerial stock
jumped toddy, but the Tar Heels
still found themselves in the posi
tion of going up against a team
which is for the first time this
season their equal or superior in
die air.
New York University, which
comes here Saturday for one of the
big games of the year in this State
and for what may turn into the
finest air battle of the season, is
known as one of the greatest pass
ing teams in the country.
“We\U have to stop their passes
if we hope to win”, Dick Jamerson,
who scouted the Violent Violets in
their 43-0 rout of Penn Military,
said today, and the Tar Heels fell to
work overhauling their whole anti
aircraft defenses.
And well they might. New York
just threw 44 passes at the Tar
Heels last year. And Big Ed Boell,
who completed 14 of their 17 heaves
that day, is back to do the pitch
ing Saturday.
The resumption of his duel with
Carolina’s Stirnweiss and Sweet
Lalanne promises a thrill a minute,
and booming ticket orders today

indicate a near capacity crowd for
the Yankees one game in this State.
G. E. Shepard, Assistant Athletic
Director, said ticket sales today
were running well ahead of the
some time prior to the Wake For
est game, and that contest drew 20,-
000 to set a new record for early
:eason.
Stirnweiss, the chief of the Caro
lina air corps, was held out of the
Virginia Tech game on account ol'
an injury, but he is back in har
ness and will be available Saturday.
The Flying Dutchman, who
comes from New York in the
shadow of the Violet stronghold, is
the boy who hooked up with Boell
in last year’s mound duel and
pitched to George Radman for a
7-0 victory.
Carolina also nosed the Violets
out in 1930 and 1937 by the narrow
margin of 14-13 and 19-6, and the
New Yorkers, seeking their first
win over Carolina, will be all the
harder vo i.top.
An interesting sidelight is that
Stirnweiss and Alex Campanis, New
York’s ace receiver, played on the
same baseball team last summer,
and Boel pitched for another team
in the league year before last.
Scout Jamerson, who also saw
the New Yorkers in their victory
over Colgate, reported that they
have another big team which wilL
outweigh Carolina 10 pounds to the
man.
Their passing attack, he said, is
every bit as good as last year, and
they have shown even greater mil
ling strength.
Coach Jamerson was particularly
glowing in his praise of Boell and
Frank, two triple-threats; the run
ning of LaManna, Mikulka, Cam
panis, and Barmak; and the un
usual strength of tile line.
Boell is one of the greatest pass
ers and punters in the country, he
said, and Frank, a newcomer, is
almost as good a passer and an
even more dangerous runner.
JV’s To Tackle
Durham Next
The Junior Varsity gridders will
journey to Durham Thursday after
noon to meet a similar team at that
place, athletic authorities at Hen
derson high school announced today.
The JV’s lost their first game of
the season to Roanoke Rapids last
Friday 20 to 7.
The youngsters have been taking
their work very seriously and some
of them promise to show plenty of
football when they graduate to the
first string Bulldog lineup.
Wake Forest has not beaten N. C.
State College in football since 1936.
The Deacons edged out a 9-0 triumph.
State won the 1937 contest 20-0 and
1938 19-7.
