OCTOBER %. In November the schedule
Is incomplete. caused by the failure OF
last years manager to return. The
only game scheduled Is one with A..
and NJ. on November 10. The Thanks
giving game will in all probability
be played with Davidson. either in
Charlotte or Greensboro. but the con-
tract has not yet been signed.
The backneld this year Is probably
the fastest Wake Forest has had since
the college began to play football
three years ago. but az much cannot

scrubs is playing tackle in great
style and bids fair to equal the rec
ord of any one who has held that
position. and Green. who never saw
football before he came to college. is
making a superb guard. The other

fayorably as these. BagwelI and C c.
