Many skillfui drivers get better control

Rideout was voted the most consiS-

day with his deadly tackles and his
eagle eye for passes hurled by OPP
ponents.
Coach Miller said that the flashy
center has shown "a fine spirit toward
his team mates and coaches, and has
shown exceptional craftsmanship and
ability in all games this season. Ride
outs offensive work has Keen very
fine this season, four bad snaps being
charged against him. He has finished
his second year under Miller, and has
shown the stuff that goes to make 4
good football player.
Rideout has been. mentioned in the
press several times as all-State ma
terial. If he continues to improve and
play the game as well in the future as
he" has in the past, he, no doubt, will
land the mythical eleven his final

PLANES SKIP OVER
RALEIGH AS SAVING
Complaint About Landing
Field Set Down as Being
Merely Stall

Raleigh Nov 24-Reasons assign
ed by Eastern Air Transport when it
discontinued Raleigh as stop on it's
through plane service between the
North and Florida were nothing but
a "stall,' in the opinion Of an airport
expert with more than twenty years
experience.
This expert, who asked that his
name be withheld, said that it would
make no difference how big the Ra-
leigh field were maze nor in what
condition it might be put, the COM
rany would have some other reason
or excuse for flying its ships over
this State capital without dropping
down onto its landing field.
The company said the through
planes would not stop here because
the field isn't long enough for them
to land and take off safely.
This disinclination of the company
to make a stopping point of Raleigh
is simply a matter of dollars and
cents, the expert said, as landing and
taking off here costs something like
$50 to $500 for each stop, he added.
Planes now in use on the north
south air mall lines are or type
which must be flown at an altitude of
about 5000 fee, he said, height
which cannot be attained all at once
KY plane taking off from a field. In
fact, it must fly something like $50
miles before it does attain the requir-
ed height, the expert pointed out.
More gasoline is used in making the
climb, almost an hours flying time
is used. In addition, a ground force
must be maintained when the plane
is to stop at an airport.
All of which adds up to extra ex-
pense. AS result, the companies are
trying their utmost to eliminate all in
termediate stops where no large a.
mount of business is to be picked up.
1t saves them money. And so Raleigh
can fix it's field, but it won't get
planes to stop here.

Duke has gained about twice as

GEORGE WATSON
is UNSUNG
HERO OF TAR HEELS

Chapel Hill, Nov. 24-Almost every
football team has an unsung hero, and
he is usually the fellow who clears the
path for his teammates who carry the
ball.
At the University of North Carolina
this year this chap is George Watson,
q six-footer weighing $50, who has
done most of the blocking for Caro-
lina's backs.
Watson puts real zest in his per-
formances because he loves the game.
Let the other fellow carry the ball
I love to block" he told Coach Ray
Wolf one day during practice. And
as strange as it may seem, he says
he'd rather block than carry the mail
Watsons blocking was particularly
good in the Tulane, NYU, and Duke
games. He cleared the path for Little
and Brunette to make many substan-
tial gains. Littles running against
NYU was superb but he'll tell you
that Watson was a great help. Bur
pette swept around the Duke ends for
many gains, but not until Watson had
removed several of the front line for
tifications. f..-. -.~- 80
