Tar Heels Depending On Sophs
Firing along the football fronts Saturday was just about as ex
pected. Most of the underdogs were stronger but all of the favorites
came through in fine style barring one or two upsets, notably the
Clemson win over Tulane and the Richmond victory over Mary
land’s Terps. .
Fans who saw the Carolina-Wake Forest fracas in Chapel Hill
are still singing the praises of highly publicised Jim Lalanne, soph
omore triple threat of the Tar Heels. Lalanne lived up to all expecta
tions and handled himself like a veteran and old timers harked back
to the days of Don Jackson as the youngster from the Bayou coun
try began tossing the pigskin around like an apple. His running also
was a standout of the afternoon.
Another pair of Tar Heel sophomores who shone brightly Sat
urday were Ends Paul Severin and Jim Mallory who are making a
strong bid for first string berths and Regulars Chuck Kline and
Horace Palmer will have a hard time keeping them out. Severin at
times made the fans forget the All-American Bershak as he went
down under punts and as he threw Deacon backs for several big
losses. Mallory is the boy who received Lalanne’s pass for the Tarj
Heel’s first touchdown. All of these boys will Dear watching Satur
day when Carolina tackles State in the Techs annual Homecoming
Day classic.
O
Don’t Forget.... World Series
While things are warming up in a football way, the same thing
is happening in the National league baseball pennant race. Several
weeks ago everything seemed set for a New York Yankees - Pitts
burgh Pirates World Series but now the color is changed slightly
and the Pirates are not so sure of bagging the coveted gonfalon. Those
Cubs from Chicago have been slipping up as the Pirates have been
slipping down with the result that at this writing, the boys from the
Smoky City are only one half game in front. It’ll be a nip and tuck
fight from here to the finish. And you want to know who’s going to
win? Your guess is as good as ours but we don’t think it makes much
difference. The Yankees are still in the American League.
And Now For Predictions
Last week we missed only two of our predictions, the cases of
Clemson over Tulane and Richmond over Maryland, which most
experts agree were upsets. However, the going gets tougher with
each successive Saturday and who knows what will happen later
on This week should see Carolina over State, Duke over Davidson,
Wake Forest over Citadel, Tennessee over Clemson, Maryland over
Penn State, Richmond over Randolph-Macon, Georgia over South
Carolina, Navy over V. M. 1., Army over V. P. 1., Virginia over Wash
ington and Lee, Tulane over Auburn, Alabama over Howard, Florida
over Mississippi State, Georgia Tech over Mercer, Kentucky over
Oglethorpe, L. S. U. over Texas, Mississippi over La. Tech, Catawba
bilt over Western Kentucky Teachers, Elon over LaSalle, Catawba
over Roanoke, and Wofford over Guilford.

Carolina’s flying dutchman, counted upon heavily in the pre
season plans of Coach Ray Wolf and aides, began light workouts
this week following a layoff of several weeks with stomach ulcers.
He will be allowed to take only light exercise until another "X-ray is

he will be back in shape for the Tulane game Octobre 8.
Tar Heels Point To State
Sister Institutions To Clash
At Raleigh Saturday In
Homecoming Feature.
Chapel Hill With the open
ing game now a matter of his
tory, the Tar Heels have begun
pointing for their important clash
Saturday with their sister insti
tution, State college.
The game is to be the feature
of State’s Homecoming Day fes
tivities.
The second Newton-coached
team at State is rated even stron
ger than the fine 1937 eleven
which won six of nine games.
Bolstered by 15 lettermen, the
Wolfpack has a promising group
of sophomores and reserves from
last season.
The Wolfpack luminaries are
Art Rooney, triple-threat quarter
back, rated one of the finest
backs in the conference, and
George Fry and Ed Coon, veter
an tackles. Bill Retter, rugged
center, is another of the more
talented players.
With only nine lettermen, the
Tar Heels are not as well off as
their foe with reference to sea
soned men. Carolina, however,
has a number of outstanding
sophomores.
The State .game opens Caro
lina’s suicidal five-game October
schedule. On the following week
end, the Tar Heels will celebrate
their own Homecoming day act
ivities by entangling with Tu
lane’s powerful “Giants of the
South.”
And there’s no respite after Tu
lane for New York University’s
highly-touted Violet must be met
in its own stronghold in New
Y6rk City.
Following the NYU game the
Tar Heels will return again to
conference (battling when they
match strategies with the scrap
ping Davidson Wildcats in the
Presbyterians’ lair.
The classic of the south—the
Duke game here October 29
winds up the ambitious program.
The NYU and Tulane games
are the third in as many years
with Carolina. The Tar Heels beat
NYU twice by scores of 14-13 and
19-6. This series with Tulane is
Bethel Hill Opens Gridiron
Season Friday With Littleton
This Year’s Team Built
Around Four Vtfbeitoiis,
Starting Lineup Uncertain.
Bethel Hill plays its first foot
ball game Friday when it meets
the strong Littleton eleven on the
home field.
Coach Gibson has been working
his boys hard for the opening
game and he thinks that the Hill
toppers will have a strong team
before the end of the season. A
number of boys are new and it
will be their first test under fire.
This year’s club is being built
around last year’s regulars - Tin
gen and Shotwell, backs; Mitchell
and Wrenn, linemen .It is under
stood that Littleton has a strong
team composed mostly of last
year’s veterans.
It has not been announced yet
who will start the ball game as
they are still fighting hard for
their positions and it will not be
known until just before the game
who will get the call. The line
will be heavier than it was last
year but the backs are lighter.
The backs are expected to make
up for their lack of weight by
their speed and deception.
The game starts at 3:15.

CAPITAL CITY GETS ON
EDGE FOR BIG TILT
Raleigh The Davidson game
over, Coach Williams (Doc) New
ton’s Wolfpack has turned all at
tention on the University of
North Carolina Tar Heels, who
came here Saturday to play for
the 1938 Greater University foot
ball championship on the program
of Greater University Day.
Business Manager John Von-
Glahn said today that indications
point to a capacity crowd attend
ing the game in Riddick stadium.
Over half the stadium’s 15,000
seats already have been sold, ac
cording to word from VonGlahn’s
Office. ‘We still have plenty of
good seats, though,” he said,
pointing out that State’s con
crete stadium is so laid out “that
there isn’t a bad seat in the whole
structure.”
A battle between State’s lit
tle Artie Rooney and Carolina’s
Sweet Lalanne is one of the many
sidelights of what promises to be
a gala day in Raleigh.

Spangler Gets
Praise For Fine
Work At Duke
Former Blocking Back Will
Be Watched In Davidson
Game Saturday.
By TED MANN
Durham, N. C. Bobby Spang
ler, Duke’s ex-blocking back who
is getting his chance to run with
the ball this season, has received
much praise for his initial per
formance against V. P. I. when he
went to “lugging the leather” for
the first time in his college car
eer.
.In that game, Spangler, who
also calls the signals for the Blue
Devils, made a total of 33 yards
through the Gobblers for the f
Blue Devils first touchdown. A
moment before the Wademen
scored, he had dashed 18 yards
to put the Blue Devils on the
one-yard line where they were
set back by an offside penalty.
Spangler accounted for most of
the 98 yards the Blue Devils made
returning punts. He handled the
safety assignment in fine fashion,.-
his work in this department be
ing a surprise to all parties con
cerned.
