SCHEDULE FOR
HILLTOPPERS
SAID TOUGH
But Coach Morris Has More
Talent Than in Sew
eral Seasons

Facing q hard schedule, but
with more numerical strength on
his squad than in several years,
Coach Bob Morris sent his Hill
toppers through hard scrim-
mage yesterday afternoon, the
first of the season.
My boys look pretty good"
Coach Morris said, "and if we can
get by Charlotte we should do all
right" The Hilltoppers meet
Charlotte at Charlotte on October
The HilItoppers will make their
first appearance before local fans
on October IS, meeting the Frs
kline freshmen here.
Usually handicapped in practice
sessions by the few men on the
squad, it is somewhat of novel
ty for the HilltopperS to get a real
practice session, but yesterday two
teams were on the field and the
boys showed good defensive abil-
ity for the first session.
Backfeld Coach Jimmie Jack
son gleefuIly reported that his
charges would now be up against
real opposition in practice, "some-
thing we don't usually have" he
added.
The 1888 edition of the Hilltop
pers looks as if it will have some
power in the backfeld and defen-
sive ability in the line. The club
looks well balanced and will pack
considerable weight in some spots
for a prep team.
Coach Morris worked a number
of kickers yesterday in an effort
to find a capable punter, and sew
eral backs looked good on for
ward passes.
1t is too early in the season for
definite lineup to be taking
shape, but several men are eX-
pected to fill slots on the starting
team.
For instance, there is Zakim, a
1875 FOUNDER from Patterson, n.
j., who is expected to be fix
ture at center. He will get relief
from Morris Ward, a Henderson
vile lad, who is expected to be
converted into a pivot man.
Charlie Carter, who halls from
Saltville, Va, and packs 175
pounds, is expected to see lots of
backfield service, but from the
present outlook none of the backs
will be called upon for full time.

Story Of How Mussolini
Stopped Invasion
By STEWART BROWN

ROME, Sept. 29.-UP)-A
trustworthy diplomatic source in
formed the United Press today
that Europe was just two hours
away from war at noon yesterday
when Premier Benito Mussolini
telephoned Adolf Hitler and urg-
ed him TO postpone his planned
invasion of CZechoSlOvakia.
The United Press was given
what was purporte1 to be the true
facts of Yesterdays event which
temporarily saved Europe from
disaster. together with q time
table of them.
Hitler. it was said, had planned
TO enter Sudetenland at exactly
, D. m. with 90 divisions of troops
supported by 5000 airplanes.
Lord Perth, British ambassador,
paid two hasty visits to Count
Galeazzu Ciano. Italian foreign
miniSter-the first at lO:l5 a. m,
the second at II 80.
What Perth said on his first call
was not known, but on his second,
he was said to have told Clano
that Great Britain couldn't and
wouldn't remain neutral if Ger
many invaded Czechoslovakia.
Ciano, it was said, Immediately
conveyed this information to Mus
solini. who told him to get Joa-
- -, 49,, - DiLk.,t,,n Ea,.,,,on fp,,
eign minister, on the telephone at
once and arrange for a telephone
conversation with Hitler at noon.
This telephone call halted Ger
many'S armies marching, even
then. toward the frontier.
At $3.50 p. m. MusSolini tele-
phoned Hitler and during their
conversation today's conference at
Munich was arranged.
At p. m, the United Press
was told. American Ambassador
William Phillips, was ushered in
to MuSsolini's office to deliver
President RooScvelt'S appeal. Phil
lips was believed to have been the
first person Mussolini informed of
the Munich conference.
At 6 p. m. Mussolini left for
Munich.
1t was felt in Rome today that
the Munich conference could not
fail because, after the hope for
peace had been passiOnately re-
vived in peoples hearts, it would
be impossible to get them to go
to war without risking an inter
nal revolution.
