Second Cleveland Draft Croup R eceives Ph ysical Exam motions "?M Crowell Little Crystal-Gazes Grid Campaign Crowell Little, head coach of football at David.*x)n col logo and a former King.s Mountain high school coach, nominated the I'fii versity of Maryland as the dark horse of the Southern Conference jfor the approaching season, and ?declared all of the major North Carolina teams "should be able 'to take care of themselves." Mr. Little. t>eginnrng hjs first year as Davidson coach, was I speaking .to members of the Kings Mountain Lions club Tues day night.

State win again have an outstanding defensive team, | and listed Wake Forest as the 1 "question-mark" team of the big four. He declared that Maryland ) might likely beat both Duke and Carolina, if for no other reason than that "Big Jim Tatum has already announced he expects to !o.<*e those two games."
