I 1928. by K,», Fr*tur*» 5y»dic»te. Ik. C™t' Br.l«« r«hu rorW. By QUIN HALL. IN one of the outstanding inter sectional gird battles be tween the East and West, Syracuse .will play Nebraska at Lincoln on Saturday. Capt. Harold Baysmger, rated by coaches from various sections of the country as one of the best players of last season, will lead his warriors across the corn fields of the Middle West and tackle the Nebraskans right in their own back yard. In the* struggle last year, despite the fact that the team from the East was badly out classed, the work of Harold Bay singer stood out like a skyscraper in z swamp and at the close of the ra oe some 37,000 rooters—and most of them were Nebraskans— stood up and gave him an ovation vhi-fe lasted for several minutes. It was the noisiest and most sin *.«*<> tribute ever paid to a visit rnv -rridironer in the history of tot Manorial Stadium. Nebras kans ficp. like that when an enemy is deserving of high praise. Syracuse lost that game. 21 to F. hut it was through no fault of B-ysfuger who completed eleven ■pessi's did some good booting and made some open-field runs which amazed the home folks out in Nebraska. Nebraska always has a powerful team and probably this year is no exception, but the Orange aggre gation has hopes of revenge next Saturday and reports from Syra cuse indicate that Baysinger—who, by the way, is Ray Barbuti’s suc cessor as captain—bids fair to be even a greater player than he was last year. it will be recalled that Bay singer came into prominence dur ing the Army - Syracuse game at West Point on October 16, 1926. It was during that game that the present captain kicked an Army player and then carried on to the extent of delivering two sharp raps to the beak of the referee, Victor A. Schwartz. The affair led to a break in athletic relations between the two schools and shortly afterward Harold shocked the Syracuse campus by resigning from the squad for the remainder of the season. However, Baysinger returned to football activity last year and dis tinguished himself by his versa tility of attack and the manner in which, as quarterback, he ran the team. BaysingerV heaves during the Nebraska game last year were an Copyright, 1028 Premier Syndicate. Iocs. outstanding feature of the East erner’s attack. On one occasion Baysinger tossed one that deceived even his own teammate, Grant Lewis, the end for whom it was intended. The ball traveled sixtv five yards, far into Nebraska ter ritory, but Lewis, not looking for such a long throw, missed it by a few inches. un another occasion Baysinger, on a fake pass formation, wriggled his way through the Nebraska team for forty yards. It was playing of this caliber which led to the great ovation given him at the close of the game. Another interesting sidelight on Baysinger is the fact that he is one of the six Ohio boys who are captains of leading football teams. The schools having squads thus ruled are: Syracuse, Michigan, Cornell, Brown. Penn State and Ashland College. The folks who crowd their way into the Memorial Stadium at Lin coln on Saturday will be expecting to see Baysinger play the same phenomenal grade of football that he exhibited last year and they probably won’t disappointed. In fact it is barely possible that he will lead a victorious team off the feld as the long shadows of the goal posts stretch far out toward the east—-and Syracuse. Highs Train Hard For Battle Friday With Charlotte Hi First Home Game Of Year With Strongest Eleven On Sched ule Said. Still smarting somewhat from their defeat at Gastonia last week the Shelby highs are training with dogged deter mination for their big tussle Friday with the husky Char lotte high eleven, Southern champs of last year. The game win be played here— the first grid tussle of the year for Shelby. Inti -est In football circles is not so High as it once was, but local fans recall that last year Char lotte. with victories over all com ers, was doped to defeat Shelby some 20 points and the game real ly ended with Charlotte a bare sis points ahead. Depend On Gold. The feature of the game last year was the remarkable defensive Play of “Milky'1 Gold, Shelby end. This year Gold has been shifted to the backfleld and is captain of the eleven. Remembering his battle last year the highs will center their light about their iong-limbed, tri ple-threat captain. Bridges Still Out. In fact, not only the defense but also the offense may center about Gold r.nd the heady little quarter Zeno Wall, for latest report is that Guy Bridges, veteran halfback and passer, will not get into the game. This blow will greatly handicap the local outfit as the passing attack ' of Morris’ boys centers about 1 Bridges, and with the experienced youngster on the bench the offense will have to depend on the plung ing and running of Gold and the sweeping end runs of Wall from punt formation. Poor Interference. Other members of the backfield | —Morehead, Poston and Mauney— ! are not experienced enough to fig ure in a real offensive. Bridges’ ab sence in the Gastonia game and in the coming contest is doubly injur ious. Not only is he the starter of the aerial attack but he is also the best interference runner on. the eleven and Wall and Gold do not seem able to get going with Bridges not leading the way. './■■■ Line Improves. At the outset of the season fans predicted that the weakness of the local eleven would be found in the line. The prediction blew up in Gastonia where the young and in experienced line made a far better impression than did the more ex perienced backfield. The young tackles, guards and center crashed through regularly. Old Names—Not Faces. When the blue-jerseyed Shelby eleven trots on the field Friday there will be none of the faces in the line-up which performed for Shelby in the days when Shelby could lick Charlotte. However, there will be a name or so that Char lotte learned to dread in years gone by. Since the stone age of football it isn't likely that a Char lotte eleven ever met a Shelby out fit that did not have a Grigg or a Gardner in the line-up, more than likely at the pivot berth. First, there was Harry Grigg, then Ver non Grigg. Next came “Decker” Gardner and Billy Grigg followed. This year Ralph Gardner, younger brother of the governor’s oldest son, is snapping the bail back from cen ter. Expect Big Crowd. Since it is the first home game | of the year a large crowd is expect ed for the tilt Friday. No local fans have seen the kid eleven perform except those who followed the out fit to Waynesville, Belmont and Gastonia, Charlotte is furnish ing the opposition and that alone i will bring out the old grid fans as : well as the youngsters of the town. When Charlotte plays in Shelby it is a great occasion—and a great football game. Shelby’s “Punch” The Shelby high's football offen sive under ordinary circumstances centers about Guy Bridges, half back, and Zeno Wall, heady little quarter, shown above. but with Bridges out of the game with an in jured hand the burden of the scor ing against Charlotte here Friday will fall upon the shoulders of Wall and Capt. Milky Gold, fullback. ■LOTTE STSR HURT: WILL NOT Quern City Fleven Fears Shelby. Ancient Rival. I>e Vega Not To Flay. i Herndon in Charlotte Observer.'' Charlotte high school grid hopes were thrown for a loss Monday when It became known that Sumter DeVega. plunging fullback, would be unable to play the next game and possibly more because of an injured knee sustained in the Monroe game last Friday. De Vega was hurt shortly after the beginning of the first quarter on the kickoff play following Char lotte's first touchdown. He Was carried from the field : and given medical attention im mediately. An x-ray examination revealed that while no bones were broken the Joint, was badly wrench ed and would probably keep the player out of the game for some I time. Confined Indoors. De Vega is confined to his home under strict orders to keep off his feet. He will likely witness the game with Shelby on the latter's grid Friday on crutches. De Vega's loss is keenly felt by the highs. He is a god all 'round back, but his work on defense is particularly brilliant. He is one of the cleverest tacklers on the squad. Irwin Laxton, whose right knee was also injured in the Monroe game, atempted to practise with the squad, but was froced to quit be fore the drill was over when the in jury started paining him. Outside of De Vega and Laxton the squad is in good condition and ready for the Shelby clash Friday. Hard Work Ahead. Coach Skidmore is planning to send his men through strenuous drills until the Shelby game, which is expected to be one of the tough est of the season. The squad went through signal drill yesterday, but today they will line up in scrim mage. Hard work will feature the pro gram the rest of the week, with scrimmages daily until the day be : fore the Shelby game. Shelby is expected to furnish the highs with keen competition Fri day. Last year the southern cham pions managed to win by a. 6 to 0 count, and this season another hard-fought game is anticipated. _L Working Girls Have Best Morals, Claim Detroit—Business women are the most moral in the world. Home girls and leisure wives, according to statistics recently compiled and released by the Salvation Army, are the easiest victims of moral traps. Edith Mae Cummings, whose sen sational rise from a $15 a week job at the Detroit Stock exchange to the president's office of her own million dollar real estate company is one of America’s business sagas, warmly seconding the association’s report, adds that business women working in offices with men lead all the others morally. “Mast feminine immorality,” said Mrs, Cummings in an address, "grows out of an individual wom an’s lack of sufficient opportunity for wholesome social contacts. That explains why working women as a class are more moral than then leisure sisters. “The business girl who is employ ed in an office with men or which men normally frequent is constant ly meeting new people. Hence her chance for making new associations is as limitless as her opportunity for advancement. Every opening of the door is a promise of a fresh and fine friendship. “Home women, on the other hand, are handicapped. Unless they are wealthy and travel extensively, their opportunities are limited for mak ing the wholesome new social con tacts so essential to morality. The; result is often indiscriminate as sociations with the wrong type of people. “Moreover, home girls are far more 1 susceptible when confronted with j moral hazards than are their more worldly wise sisters. Softened by sheltered lives, with no precedents of misplaced trust to guide them, they easily fall prey to wrong peo ple. Not so the average business ] woman. Experience has taught i her that fine words do not always ; presage fine actions, and that safe- ! ty lies in -demanding the proof,” I ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE.
