• w—————■—————— l —^^ '^PERSON M&STANTS By J. S. Merritt or Dick Puckett, one or the other. O—O—o—o Hendrickson Puts Them Up This year there hasn’t been much in this column con cerning Coach Horace Hendrickson’s Christians of Elon, but we have been watching them pretty closely and they have really made one fine showing in that North State conference. This is the same school that, several years ago, hailed the name of James Abbitt, one of Roxboro’s prominent grids ters who took all-America honors while playing with the school. Elon, a relatively small college, in regards to enrollees, has for some ti*ie been holding an important place in all sports and this year is no exception. Their teams are general ly light but under the supervision of Hendrickson, they de velop into a classy group. Hendrickson is Wade material and we think Elon should feel lucky in having him. o-o-o-o-o-o- Hot Heads On Yitt Baseball for 1940 has passed but certain things have happened since the pennant race that we don’t like (whether it matters or not) and one of them is the ousting of Oscar Vitt, thought of by many as about the best manager to ever direct a baseball club and we think the same. It seems that the rumpus started when Vitt got after his i Cleveland players because they didn’t do their duty on the diamond, the players had a few pep meetings, took their trouble to the front office and out went Vitt. Well, that's the way things go sometimes- Sounds like politics to me. o-o-o-o-o-o- Bench Signaling, He Says j Remember “Slippery Dick” Dashiell, sports editor of; the Asheville (N. C.) Times, who played football at Caro-j line while Carl Snavely was coaching there? Well, it seemsi that he is of the opinion that Snavely is doing a bit of signal calling from the bench, and also says he’d “give a brand new hat to hear him deny the fact that he called plays from the bench when he coached at the University of North Carolina in 1934-35.” We don’t know anything about this matter, but generally when people start talking about someone like "this, it’s either the popularity they have attained or they really have the goods on them. guild MAKING PICTURES BETTER r * T : WE i-ft ' j 1 :'■ ■mbV r ■ ■■ - • ( Enlarging helps any picture—espe cially if you find the real picture first. Above, the final enlargement. At right, the part of the original that was used. The original has about 500 percent too much build ing—and the figure is “lost.” IT’S wonderful what a bit ot trim ming will do for the average pic ture —and it’s especially worthwhile If you’re planning to have an en largement made. For the past few evening*, we have been going through our summer shots, studying the prints and trimming those that include too much —and we're get ting a lot of pleasant surprises. For example, here’s a landscape shot that looks just so-so. Too much blank sky—no clouds that day. So, we try covering up part of the sky, and c.ask out a telephone pole at the left that doesn’t “belong.” It now becomes a very pleasant scene worth at least a 5 x 7 enlargement. As a guide for enlarging, we mark the print, and then trim away the parts we don’t want. Then here’s a shot of Jack climb ing into his canoe. Good action —but the camera was too far away, and tilted a bit to one side. So, we mark off just the part we want —a middle section that takes in only about half of the original picture. ! This trimming idea works tor everybody’s pictures—yours as well as ours. Pick the part you want — throw away the rest —and you have a better, more interesting picture. A. good system is to cut out two X.-shaped pieces ot cardboard turn them end to end, and it-- iliem t 3 a movable “mask” ovet the orbit. By adjusting the cardboards, you can really find the “heart’ ot the picture. Then, having found tne real pic tures, you can proceed to make en largements, or have them made— thus bringing out the detail and quality that comes with large size. And, chances are, you'll find you're a better pleWwo - taker than you thought. -fllaiMg.Uttaer SPORTS OF THE TIMES f. jtfd f ■ W cCWV TOLaNSM John Polanski, Wake Forest fullback, shown above was a star in the Deacon game with George Washington Friday night and was largely responsible for the Wake Forest 19 to 0 victory. Snavely’s Ex-Qnarterbacl c Says Coach Uses Signals Dick Dashiell, Asheville Times Sports Editor, Ex poses Connell Mentor’s System Atlanta, Oct. 31.—Mississippi’j famous “H-boys,” Junie Hoviousj and Merle Hapes, probably are! the biggest double-dose of foot- j ball poison in southern fool t all. —Statistics for the Rebels’s first! six games show that each has; averaged in excess of 10 yards ev- \ fry time he has carried the ball ] —lncluding pass interceptions and kick returns, Hovious gained 038 yards on 61 tries; Hapes 609 on 60 . . . Hapes is the better punter, averaging 48 yards a gainst 35.7 for Hovious. Coaches Suffer Too Dave Bloom, Memphis Com mercial Appeal sports columnist, says he can’t tell the coach’s name, but here’s the story: The Mentor was talking about one of his players, known to the sports wise as strictly a “Satur day” football player. ‘‘He just hates practice, that's all,” commented the coach. Then after a moment’s refection, he added: “Kell, I guess he hates prac tice as much as I do.” Did Snavely Signal? At least two Dixie sports writ ers have taken up for Ohio State j n the case of did-Coach-Snavely -Waggle-at-Cornell. . . . Dick Dashiell, former quarterback for Snavely at North Carolina and now sports editor of the Asheville (N. C.) Times, says: “It may bo :alse. But I would give a bland new hat to hear him deny the fact that he called plays irom the bench when he coached at the University of North Carolina in 1934-35.” Dashiell contends Snavely would swing his foot to indicate a kick, pull his hand : back near his ear for a pass, and “he even sent in messages by the trainer and by the colored water boy.” Coach Scrappy Moore of the Chattanooga Moccasins is having fits over the forthcoming How ard-Chatanooga game . . . How ard, he says, uses anything up to a 10-man line on defense . . and makes it work. . .

Tcm Not Only Gave Pern: Merry Afternoon But Also Referee ! Ann Arbour, Mich., Oct. 28. It’ll go in the record books Michigan 14, Pennsylvania 0, and ! that’ll be wrong. The -way it j should read is Tommy Harmon il. Pennsylvania 0, because it was the Gary Galloper who played poison to the Quakers’ ivy, and cracked them open like the Lib erty Bell. Without Tommy and his 195 pounds—every ounce of wh'ch is All-America—Michigan would have been fortunate to get off ’• ith a scoreless tie. By this I mean that Michigan, without Harmon, isn’t as good a team as • Penn. But with him the Wolver -1 iocs are as good as anybody, be cause Tommy is a one-man squad. When he isn’t running, 1 lie is tackling, and when he isn’t ; doing either cf these, he is pass ■ ing, kicking, or blocking, j He actually constitutes a threat when he is standing still doing nothing at all. He proved this by the way his presence as safety I man ruined Pennsylvania’s kick-' ■j ing game on Saturday. Frame i Reagan, a really great punter, was i.so afraid that one of his punts * I would fall into the hands of Har l mon that he went in for super set kicking. As a result his tirn ! ing and confidence went blooey, 1 nd he wound up with a kicking average that wouldn’t do credit M 0 u high school back. The dread ", °f a Harmon loose after a head l j start so shook Reagan that punts >| kidded off his foot to travel such > puny distances as 20 and 25 1 yards. About Toms Blockers After Harmon’s performance _>n Saturday, I trust no pigskin ped ant will ever again argue that a back is no greater than his bock ’ ers. Ever since Harmon started running wild there have beer: critics who maintained that his effectiveness was largely due to I Ackermann, Tennessee captain and center, is majoring in busi ness administration but has a no tion he’d like to try law. I 1 the tremendous blocking of his friend and captain, Forest Evash ovski. I don't want to belittle E’-ash evski's value, but Harmon can go with or without him. Evash evski was hurt just before the end of the first half, and didn't get back into the game. But Har mon kept rolling just the same. As a matter of fact, he was at his best as a big, bruising-yet cunning back, near the end of the fourth quarter. He ripped off two long runs in which his inter ference was negligible. He simp ly ran over the Quakers who stood in his way. No Duel At All The much anticipated due! be tween Harmon and Reagan didn't : omo off. Harmon was on the firing line, ready to go, but Rea gan arrived from Philadelphia with no ammunition. Frank gain ed something like 350 yards a gainst Michigan last year. He named only 10 yards this time He was jittery as relatives at a will reading. He never settedj down. He not only couldn’t run,: but his kicking also was miser able and his passing spotty. It was unfortunate that Frank, wha has played so many brilliant games, had to have a relapse at a time when the spotlight was hottest on him. Harmon's eight points in the Penn game brought his season’s total to 87, and if there were any such thing as an assistant in football, he would have even more. It was his perfect peg from the 27-yard line while hounded by Penn tacklers. that resulted in the second Michigan touch down. He was flattened, and real ly flattened after this pass, but apparently there is no hurting the fellow. He got up, and went on to travel the full 60 minutes. At the finish he was the freshest man on the field, and that goes for the last-minute substitutions.

Joe Louis Booer At Willkie Rally New York, Nov. 1. —Joe Louis,' heavyweight boxing champion of j the w'orld, was booed at a Repub-1 lican political rally in the heart of Harlem last night, but he took it like a champ. “You boys,” said the imper turbable Brow'n Bomber, “can; boo 'til you get blue in the face; —but I'll just keep on talking.” j Looking down at his heekLrs. he declared, “I'm used to boos-- and I win anyway ” This brought a wave of cheers, i He was up there to urge the, election of Wendell L. Willkie. j Police estimated 3.500 to 4 000' Negroes jammed into a ballroom | to hear him, and that 3,000 to; 4.000 waited outside. Louis was booed by some of; ■his listeners when he said, “I endorse Mr. Willkie because he knows what sls a week will to.” “If Mr. Willkie is elected,” said Louis, “he has promised in writ ing to put over the anti-lynching bill. Roosevelt has been in of fice for eight years and done nothing about that.
