Oct. 1.—(AP)—The ti dal wave i>i another World Series washed over the i^ueen City today, beaching ba.-eball's notable person ago and lilting the populace into a high state of excitement i:i advance of Wednesday's first game between Detroit's Tigers and Cincinnati's Reds. The community changed overnight from a quiet, hospitable Ohio river town to the basebail capital of the world, as every incoming train and plane disgorged a new batch of dia mond addicts. lli tol loou:es were .laiinueu. lihh knots o! tan- clustered along curbs i»t the streets to discuss all the fas cinating uncertainties that sur round - * ••<:«.! > for the world chanty. . The bis question of today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow, was whether two of the Reds' in jured regulars. Catcher Frnie Lam batdi and Second Baseman Lonnie Frev. would be aDIe to play. Not even Manager Bill MeKechnie knew the answer. The Tigers already were estab lished betting lavorites at T to 10 and the crippled condition of the i' ncinnati team made it likely that the odds against the Reds, originally even money, would lengthen prob ably to 7 or S to 5.

(Central Press) Stressing Air Attack Now Chapel Hill, 'JJ<. i.—Davidson was one oi me tew teams to ouipass Car olina tast year, unci tne iar lleei air corps was planning to caul early and late today >11 an eiiort to gei ready tor a.r uatue< witn tne Cats at \Vmston-Suvm aaiurday and w.tii tne r rogs oi fexas L nnst.an the loilowmy week. Carolina was tii its own territory so much ol tne \\ alee i"ort>L game, n naa little cmince to ilasli tne ordi narily potent aerial attack it also uses to set tip its runn»ng plays. But from all the m«hs today Jim La ianne. frank O Hare and Johnny i'e j cora will oe pitcnmg again Saturday. Loach iCay \\ uli called tne squad out JU minutes eariv, und all hands worked like beavers until dark to improve tneir attack anci strengthen their delenses in an el fort to bounce back itorn iast weeks loss to the Wake Forest powerhouse. Although several players were lie id out oi rough work witn injuries, tne irst team, wnicii made the two oeau 11iful goal line stands against the 1 Deacons, ran intact, but Coacn Woi worked several rookies in with tne veterans in an effort to season I mucn-necdcd reserve strength. | O'Hare, Pecora. and Dave Baiics dale, who also cans the plays for the reiniorccments, received particular attention. All three have done .-onto good work and shown promise, but they are still young and green as lield generals. And one of Carolina's big needs is a seasoned relief man for Lalanne if and when he is hint, as in the VVnke Forest game. Davidson has not one but three fine passers ana triple-threats in Granny Slnnpe, Dave Spencer unci Johnny Frederick. The Wildcats outpassed Carolina last year, com pleting 12 out ol 25 to ti out of 21 for the Tar Heels, and another aerial exhibition is expected Saturday. Carolina's weight and ground po.w er were too much for the scrappy Cats la.-t season, but this year may be another story. The Wildcat backs now have a 190-pound line to oper ate behind—only one pound less than Carolina—and they're known as one of the fastest and most elusive quar tettes in the State. Spencer is one oi the lightest and fastest backs in the Big Five, while the new sophomore "find", Frederick, is one of the heaviest lads in the Conference. Frederick has also giv en the Wildcats the added kicking they needed. His booming punts this year have traveled up to 75 yards. The leader of the Wildcats' speedy ground and air show, branny Sharpe i'lom Burlington, was out with in juries for the State game last week, but if he is back Saturday as ex pected the Tar Heels will have to watch him every minute. Vols Stress Knoxvillc, Tcnn., Oct. 1.—(AP)— 'Tennessee scouts who saw Duke win handily over V. M. I. on Saturday nuist have been impressed by the Blue Devils' attack since the Volun teers underwent a two-hour aerial defense drill Monday in preparation for the Duke-Tennessee meeting this week-end. Major Bob Neyland had a fresh man team, garbed in blue shirts, take he field against the varsity for a session of "touch' f^t'jnU in whijh the airways were busy. Blond Bob Foxx. Johnny Butler. Buist Warren and Van Thompson— Tennessee's tailback wealth — did plenty of Hinging on their own. how ever, with nil of the ends working on the receiving. Every man on the squad was in action and will be ready for Satur day's fray. Trainer Mickey O'Brien reported, although five of the Inds emerged from the Mercer game with slight injuries. T.C.U.-Tulane Ticket Sale Still Strong Chanel 1VII. Oct. !.—Carolina's loss to Wake Forest apparently has not slowed up the advance ticket sales for I the Texas Christian and Tulane ' games ! At the cjfl'icos of the University athletic association today it was said reservations for the two games I showed Monday a decided spurt i which continued today. Obviously taking a lesson from the J way the Caroiina-Duke game tickets I went, fans arc not taking chances and are picking their orders early. I Seat.- for tiie Texas Christian game. ! which is to be played here October j 12. the University's birthday, have I been sold down to the 15-yard line on 1 the south side, and to the 25-yard line on the north side, although there are a lew left in scattered locations near r the center. For the Tulane game, the home t coming day even: on October 26. seats have been sold down to the 15 vard on the south side and to the 30-yard line on the north side. This means that approximately 10,000 seats have already been re served on the concrete stands for each of these two games. The con crete stands hold 24.000. "I know that Carolina team is go in,'} to bounce back and win some games, and I want to be on hand" seemed to be typical of the attitude of many fans making reservations.

State can keep up its winning streak against Clemson next Satur- | day? Texas Christian was the first school to win over all six of the other Southwestern Conference elev ens in taking the grid championship. This was in 1932. In 1935 S. M. U. accomplished the feat. T. C. U. re peated the grand slam in 1938. and last year A. & M. became the third i school to write up the whitewash i record. Both of the Texas Christian first string ends are converted fullbacks. Connie Sparks, senior, was switched near the close of the '39 season, after hanging up a record at full in '38 as leading conference scorer and being named as all-conference full back. Phil Roach played full at Poly High, Fort Worth, for three years. Frank Kring, first-string fullback for T. C. U.. really goes to town on the French harp, and doesn't do badly at twanking a mean guitar. The primitive bridge constructed of creepers, bamboo or rope has exactly the same idea as the great est suspension bridge of today. In each case a cabol of some kind is hung across a gap. fastened down securely at each end. and made to support a flooring on which the weight can be carried. Joan Rogers in "Yesterday'-; iferoc.-.
