I With the 1940 football season over, except for the bowl classics and and few scattered contests, sports fans of this and other sections of the country now' have to find somethin" else to occupy their thoughts and some other subject for drug store conversation. Os course, there will be basketball coming up, but only a small group, compared with the gird addicts, lose any sleep over a defeat or win in this sport. Not knowing what the colleges of this section are expect ing for the coming season or what kind of material they will possess, we hope .that local sports fans can turn as easily from the stadium to the court, as they did.from the diamond to the stadium. This year, even as early as now, students and citizens on the Tar Heel’s Hill are boasting about their two great basketball playes, George Glamack, that wizard of the court . who last year took all-America honors, and Paul Severin, all- America football end, for 1939 and again selected for NEA’s first eleven this year. Both boys were good last season and should be in excellent shape for the coming session. 0-0-0-0-0-0 All-America Honors Coming In The All-America selections have started coming in and again Duke and Carolina have reasons to be particularly proud of their 1940 editions. First of the selections released is the NEA and on this one Carolina placed two, Paul Severin. who was again put on the No. 1 team at his end position an i Jim “Sweet” Lalanne, who was named on the third team. The member of the Duke Blue Devils eleven who took hon ors on the NBA selection was True-Toe Tony Ruff a, that place-kicking sensation who has, during the past two .>ears | converted many extra points after touchdowms and is the only man to gather in any thing against the Tar Heels in the classic which Carolina took 6 to 3. In this game he put through a beautiful field goal and tallied a 3-pointer for the Blue Devils. Wake Forest Thinks Aloud L- 10,000 —South Carolina's prob- Wake Forest, N.

Tennessee’s sensational sopho mores of 1938, those sturdy Vol unteers who have traveled the glory realm of football for three years and made defeat only once, known their last home stand Sat urday against the Wildcats of Kentucky. They have been the “wonder boys” of Southern football. They blazed a brilliant trail across the Nation’s gridiron two years ago and need only victory over Vanderbilt this week to complete a cycle seldom equalled in foot ball. It will be farewell for 13 of those ’3B sophs Iwho engineered two undefeated, untied seasons, played in two post-season bowl games, and now are driving to ward a third successive perfect reason and another choice qowl bid. The backfield aces making a final appearance before the Van derbilt folks will be blond 3ob Foxx, one of the South’s great est backs, Bob Andridge, Nick Webber, and slender Buist War ren who has no peers in Dixie when it comes to passing. Backfield Aces The heaviest blow, however will come up front with the loss of the entire starting line—those iouble-trouble guards, Bob 3uf j ‘lidge and Ed Molinski, Tackles Abe Shires and Hodges West, Center Norbert Ackermann, and Ends Ed Cifers and Jim Coleman. Senior reserves include Tackle Bill Luttrell and Guard' Max Steiner. Major Bob Neyland’s great 1938 team has been called the fin est of many undefeated teams he has produced at Tennessee. His sophomores provided the surge that carried the Vols through 10 consecutive victories and into the Orange Bowl on New ihe game are Corinne Boyd, Suz anne Carroll, Marie Dowd, Peg gy Bell, Mary Katherine Mcln tyre, Sarah Jan* Harvey, all of Charlotte.

But the Vols stormed back They unleashed their power this season to begin another victory march and will enter the Van derbilt game with a record cf nine consecutive wins, including vic tories over Duke and Alabama. There’s little chance that Ten nesseens will forget the sopho mores of 1938. o Three Cornell Stars Added To Blues Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 27.
