Will Present Full Strength
Here on Friday-Boast

w YAKE FOREST, N. c., Octo-
Ah/ ber 21.-Jim Weaver, Wake
wv Forest foot ball mentor,
has announced that he
will have his full strength ready for
the game against George Washing
ton in the Capital City Friday night.
1t was at first thought that Capt.
Ed Rogers, guard, would be unable
to play against the Colonials due to
an injury received in the Clemson
game last week. However, the team
physician has pronounced Rogers
ready for duty.
The same team that has started
every game for Wake Forest this sea-
son will open against Coach Pixlees
aggregation.
Big Hobo Daniel, 190-pound full
back, who has outkicked all his OPP
ponents this season, will take his
post. jug Allen, l75-pounder, who
does the signal calling from the
blocking back position, will be at the
helm.
Makes Long Scoring Runs.
DALLAS MORRIS, 15o-pound safe
~ ty man, and Harold Warren, IT'S
pound speedster, again will be at
halves. Morris turned in a 58-yard
punt return for a touchdown against
North Carolina and 45-yard jaunt
against Wofford for a score.
Warren took off on the opening
play in the N. c. State game for a
6O-yard dash and followed it up with
a 48-yard run for tally on pass
interception.
Walton Kitchin, the Deacs' ace in
the hole, will be held out until Coach
Weaver thinks the time ripe to use
him.
The forward wall will be composed
of Bert Shore and Fred Hoyle, ends;
Harry Beaver and Joe Swan, tackles;
Capt. Rogers and Red Souther.

trouble to the opposition.
"In the main, the running plays
of today and when I played are
practically the same" he said.
Lateral passes have opened up the
game a little and some teams con-
centrate more on speed than on
power, but the big difference see
is the improvement in defense.
I'VE used to play seven-man
line and a diamond or box defense.
We never heard of the 6-2-2-1 de-
fense or the 6-3-1-l, or all those

fenses for every game-and it's

Casual observers may think that
the Rice game week from Saturday
is the real objective of the Colonials
right now, but they're mistaken. The
Colonials don't look beyond the task
Immediately at hand. They want to
beat Wake Forest, and how!
Last year G. w. went to Wake For

ried about the outcome. but before
the first quarter was completed found
that it was in for terrible afternoon
Wake Forest, making good its threat
of 1884 that it would win the next
time they met, put over touchdown
and kicked the point to exc out 7-6
triumph. Only desperate last-min-
ute passing attack. engineered by the
redoubtable Tuffy Leemans, prevented
the Deacons from adding insult to
injury by blanking the Buff.
G. W. Must Shoot Works.
THE 1886 Colonial squad hasn't for

tainly shouldn't think Wake Forest
soft, in view of the impressive Deacon
record, and from the way Pixlee is
bolstering the attack shouldn't expect
to win Friday night without shooting

Carolina to 14-7 score, Wake Forest
has defeated North Carolina State,
9 too; Wofford, 80 to 0, and Clemson,
6 to 0.
With the season Just about half
finished, the Colonials still remain so
evenly matched among themselves
that the coaches won't call any group
of II players "the starting team" "
Those who answer the opening whistle
merely are the first II men to go into
action. The others-hardly with ex-
ception-are considered equally as pro-
ficient. This situation makes for har-
mony, an ingredient always to be
found in the production of winning
foot ball team.
Examples Of this are found in the
persons Of Tim Stapleton and Al
Haringer. both of whom played i'm
portant roles in the defeat of Arkan-
sas. For the first two games Of the
season little was heard or read of
either one. Their positions were being
handled ably by others. But when the
Ole Miss game came along both got
their chance to make good, Stapleton
at guard and Haringer-in an emer-
gency-at center. Suffice to say, they
performed so well that night that they
started the Arkansas tilt, and, like the
rest, emerged with equal shares of the
Aurels in startling triumph.

half the time it has nine.
At first glance the set-up
looks great. The team knows
our system and knows what to
do on the field. And yet 1t has
been tougher to handle than
last years team.
"The reason is that We have too
many seniors. Any coach will tell
you a boy plays his best foot ball in
his junior, and even sophomore year.
He's alert and trying his head on.
He hasn't made a name for himself
yet, and he's giving all he's got all
the time. He hasn't read a lot OF
press clippings, unless he's a very
unusual player.
Letting Up Is Subconscious.
swell-headed. On the contrary
they're a great gang Of fellows and
they wouldn't deliberately let up. But,
subconsciously, they have eased up
now and then. Backs on the defense
have let pass receivers get behind
them. The blocking, particularly in
the La Sale game, wasn't as hard as
it could have been, and neither was
the tackling.
Lots Of teams with too many
seniors have a hard time getting
started. Juniors and sophs are
easier to work up to a pitch.
Seniors have been worked up, some
of them, four and five times season
for as many as three college years.
Potentially this years team is better
than 1885, but it has yet to prove 1t"
The proof. one way or the other,
may be forthcoming before the week
is up. Unlike the team Of year ago.

such as that of 1885, when it wound
Still, it is logical to believe that Cath

Ole Miss Is Tough Luck Team.
MISSISSIPPI, first of all, still is
Az smarting from the 20-l9 beating
it took from the Cards last New Year
day. Secondly, for all of their set
backs this year, the Rebels are miss
ing only two players from the '35
team. Thirdly, if there is such a
thing as a law of averages, Ole Miss
figures to get few breaks and wind
up the season in a blaze of latent
glory.
The Rebels got few good
breaks this year. After slaugh-
tering little Union in their
opener, $50, they lost q 7-to-6
decision to Tulane.
Next they dropped a 1877 AFFAIR
to Temple in the final minutes Of play
and, after that. they came to Wash
ington and on . soupy field that
penalized all offense, they were held
to a 90 draw by the George WASH
ingtons. Then, last week, they were
surprised by La Sale, 1870.
When they entertain the Cards
this week the Rebels will be playing
at home for the first time since the
Union game. incidentally, it will be
Mississippi's Homecoming game. and
the Rebs haven't lost one of these in
10 years. The Orange Bowl defeat still
is in their craw and the Mississippi
State game comes next.
This, then, might well be the week
that viii tell the story of the Car
dinals. Potentially they still are tops
in this neck Of the woods, but If they
don't get by OLE Miss, after George
Washington's scoreless tie. they may
have hard time proving It.
