Bulldogs Looking Better As Football Drills Progress — : •* ■" • - n~ r I Another Week Of Drills Closes With Much Work Ruel Parker Fixture at Quarter; Backfield Looks To Be Fair; Line Candidates Show Up Well; The Entire! Squad in Top Condi tion and Working Hard. Today's drills brought io a close another week's work for Hender son high school bulldog gridders. and Coach Fred Kilpatrick is more than pleased with the work shown by the lads during the pre-season work- j outs. The entire squad is in top con- I dition. and has not been hit by th^ injury jinx. Kilpratrick started his lads on August 24. and brought them 1 along rapidly, keeping them in top condition at all times. Much of the time consumed has been in the perfecting of blocking, tackling, and timing of plays. The squad has been rather small. 21 reporting, compared to the 67 re porting for first drills last year. i Ruel Parker, transfer student, a triple threat back, has been showing up extremely well during early workouts. He is running at quarter back. Parker Looks Oooci Paul Blake, who bore much of the brunt oi last year's ball carry ing. is back, and is picking up where he left off last year. He is also a triplethreater. giving Kilpatrick two lads in the backfield that can kick, run and pass. Blake is bearing down harder than ever before, and is ex pected to play an important part in the coming games. He is a rugged player, and can stand plenty of work. Faulkner Improved Jerry Faulkner. 175 pound bac!;. is treating Kilpatrick to some nice ball carrying in the early drills. He is in top condition, and his block ing and tackling is deadly. He looks like a fixture at a halfback post. Robert Turner, probably the light est of backs of first string calibre, is seeing lots of action as blocking back in early drills, and he is to be contended with if there's some other player on the squad who wants a starting backfield position. Turner's work has constantly improved dur ing early drills. He is a reserve from last year's aggregation, though he did not see so much action. He has pick ed up some weight since he last donned grid togs. >ump(f 'Back Guy Sumpter. wild running back of last year, is again in the fold, and is really bearing down. Sumpter's work is good, and continued improve ment on his part will give the Bull dogs another good back. After leaving these five men, backfield material is rather scarce on the squad. There are several other likely looking candidates, but they lack experience. All the backs have shown good blocking and good football sense. If the reserves fail to develop, the highs will have to car ry on with an iron man backfield. Grissom Line Leader Blois Grissom. tackle, who tips the beam at 195. has shown more im provement since last year than any other player on the squad. Kilpat rick said. He is expected to be the backbone of the Bulldog line. His work is pleasing to the mentor, and his line mates are taking their cue from him. J. W. Simpson, another lad who is entering school here for the first time, weighs 190 pounds. ; and is seeking the other tackle post. | He has been showing up fairly well during drills thus far. but hasn't quite shown his coach the ability which he is capable of displaying. Shifted to End. Howard Faulkner, tackle last year, is shifted to an end position, where his effective work can really count. Faulkner is the bruising type of ball I player, hard tackier, hard blocker, ' and last year was his first ever in 1 football. He learned a lot during the ! season, and is back in camp with a i determination to put it in practice. Center Fight. Thomas Bobbitt and Ned Adams are fighting it out for the starting center position. Neither has shown j a decided advantage over the other. Bobbitt saw work in the line last ' year, and may round into a better j ball player than Adams. At the guard positions, there will be two light fellows. Davada Lough lin and Carlos Mills, both 150 pounders, look to have the inside I track over James Stewart and Wil- I bur Williams, though the light there may see several changes before the I >pening game. At the other end position. Clin ton Jones. J. D. Whaley, James Arch ?r Johnson are scrapping hard. W'halev is a pretty good ball play- I ei\ and has the size that should I make him into a starter. The other lads are giving him a tight for the position. Reserves Scrapping Richard Johnson. Walter Alston. Durwood Hedgepeth have shown their work in the line, and have served notice that they are out for a starting position. Their work for i the next two weeks will determine J whether they get a call to start in the Xorlina contest two weeks from today. Those reporting for drills after the c;%—sc'* ! have to fit right in v. .ui me drills of that day, and must scrap "for the positions along with the lads who are in top condition. Late reporters are at a decided disadvantage for Kilpatrick has a scrapping squad that is out I for but one thing this year, a string ' of victories. Bulls Meet Red Sox In Durham Next Durham. Sept. 13.—The Durham 3i;lls. entrenched in the final round of the Piedmont League's Shaugh nessy series, will make their last lo ral stand of the current season, start ng Saturday night, when they clash with the Rocky Mount Red Sox. the other finalists in the seething play off competition. The game will get under way at 8 o'clock and will be followed by a Sunday afternoon contest at 3 p. m. The Series is for the best four out of seven contests. The schedule called j for the first two games to be nlavec! j in Rocky Mount. Thursday and Fri day night. Unless one team should win four straight, the next three games were set for Durham on Sat urday. Sunday and Monday. If fur ther games are necessary, the teams will return to Rocky Mount for the finish. As the schedule stands. Bull fan* are assured of seeing Cotton Hill, their favorite pitching ace. in action. He is due to hurl either the Saturday night or Sunday afternoon contest. NOT MANY TICKETS FOR BIG GAMES LEFT Chapel Hill. Sept. 13.—Only about five hundred tickets remain on sale here for the Carolina-Duke football game. Since announcement last week-end that 3.000 possible seats had been made available through the generos ity of William Rand Kenan. Jr.. donor of Kenan Stadium, the sale of tickets has bee nbrisk. Addition of the 3,000 seats will give the stadium a total seating ca pacity of 41.000 for this game. Taking their cue from the record advance sale for the Carolina-Duke game, football fans are making reser vations for the other games much earlier than usual. The advance or ders for the Wake Forest game, September 28. and the homecoming game with Tulane on October 26 are especially heavy. All seats between the 20-yard lines on the south side have been reserved for the Tulane game, although there are plenty available on the North side. PIEDMONT LEAGUE. Durham at Rocky Mount.

Chapel Hill, N. C.. Sept. 13— Carolina's sophomore line today was like the little brother who grew up —it was bigger and heavier that the veteran varsity. The difference in the average, however, was slight—193 1-2 to 191 pounds—and the youngsters still had a lot to learn and n long way to catch up with the old heads, as they knew from this week's tests. Both outfits have been working J early and late to get ready for Ap- j palachian's North State champs and j Wake Forests national rushing lead- j ers. And the veterans, led by Co- I Captains Severin and Kimball, have j looked very good at blocking in spots and the rookies fair. Both showed need of more defensive work. The varsity line, which has shown signs of developing into a fast, smart, hard-hitting, though not massive unit, looked about set today except for two positions. The pivot job was still a toss-up between Bob Smith, 1939 regular, and his up-and-coming understudy, Carl Suntheimer. And right end was wide open between Stewart Rich ardson, who has been hampered by a minor injury: Mike Bobbitt, ex halfback, who has been coming fast, and Soph Howard Hodges. Dick Sieck, rangy 192-pound un derstudy. appeared today to have gained the inside track at left tackle, while Dick White looked like a fix ture at his new guard berth, where he has strengthened the blocking considerably. The other posts were all manned by regulars and alternates from last year and looked adequate with Co Captains Severin at left end and Kimball at right tackle, and Bill Faircloth at guard.

The Ever-Present God "BRASS TACKS" ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Che <5oldett Ce*t The presence of the Loia. "If a man love Me, he will keep My word: and My Father will low him, and We will come unto Him, and make Our abode with Hum —John 14:23. (The International Uniform Lesson | on the above topic for Sept. 15 is I Psalm 139, the Golden Text being i John 14:23, "If a man love Me, he | will keep my words: and My Father will love him. and We will come unto I him, and make Our abode with| Him.") i This is our last lesson on the psalms for some time, and this 139th psalm is a beautiful one with which to close this series of lessons. We do not know when Ihis psalm was writ ten, only, from its title we know it to be in the time of David; and noth ing in the psalm indicates at what place it was written. It is written in a devout mood, when the psalmist realized how om ni^cent—all present—is God: that the creator of man must know every thing about him, his bodily make up, his nature, his soul and spirit. "Thou knowest my downsittings and mine uprisings; Thou under standest my thought afar off." Have you ever tried to read an other person's thoughts? All of us have at some time when we were very anxious to get the other's re actions to something. Sometimes ws can do it very well, too, when the minds of both of us are occupied by Harriet Nine Meets Helena The Harriet Mill team will play Helena Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Pine Park at South Hen derson the second game of the play off series for the Golden Belt League. During regular season, South Hen derson finished third, with Helena holding the top position in the league standing. A good game is promised those at tending.

U, , hide from the govermni m at least, if we have don wrong to warrant police us. But from the cannot hide. In most i.< . gunge the psaln ist 1 thought: "Whither shall I go u , !n -p •, spirit?

If I say: Surely the darkness shall overwhelm nie. And the light about me shali he night; Even the darkness hide-th not from Thee. Bui the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to Thee." This should be a comforting thought, not a frightening one. G«<i made us, He knows us—mil weak ness a,nd strength—and He is with us always, in darkness and light, in joy and sorrow. Suddenly the psalmist turn? from this happy and peaceful thought to one, seemingly of anger i.nd hatred, urging God to slay the .wicked and asserting his hatred for the enemies of the Lord. Thinking of G«d as love, justice, truth, righteousness, it is easy to feel intense anger a: the wickedness, hatred, falsehood. crueJrr injustice we see on every hand. V,"e can be filled with love, syrf.pa"r.y and understanding toward ; 11 tr. but feel still a burning hatred ol all this wickedness. Even Jk.:« showed a righteous anger tmvaro those who defamed God's house, ur.d showed it by driving the cheating money changers from the temple. The last two verses of the psalm are a prayer and an opening ol the heart of Jehovah: "Search me. O God. and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And sec if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." Our Golden Text is taken from John 14:23, where Jesus answers one Judas, not Judas Iscariut. saying: I: a man love Me, he will keep M> words: and My Father will love hit' and make Our abode with him.
