Panthers And
Nashville To
Play Friday

The Henderson Institute Panthers
are pointing to their first game of
the season Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock, with Nashville playing here
in the new stadium erected at the
Institute.
The squad, with only two regulars
from last year in fold, has been drill
ing for nearly three weeks, prepar-
ing for the opener.
Coach Brown has an assistant this
year in Mayes, former Florida A
and M. end, who rated All National
end for 1888.
Two injuries have slowed the work
of the PantherS thus far.
The big game of the season for
the Panthers will be October 27,
which is "Dedication Day" of the
new j. A. Cotton stadium erected by
WPA since last grid season. Hillside
of Durham will be the opponent on
that date. Hillside won the State title
last year.

Steve Brown
On Probation
ForG-Man Act

Durham, Sept. 27.-Steve Brown,
former Clemson college student who
while posing as a G-Man here last
summer made speech before 80
Durham welfare workers, pleaded
guilty late yesterday before Federal
Judge Johnson j. Hayes TO imper-
sonating a federal officer and was
placed on probation for three years.
One of the conditions of the pro-
baton is that Brown is not to repre-
sent himself as holding any office
with the federal government, or any
city or county office unless properly
authorized in writing to make such
representation.
Federal officers testified that
Brown, one time Greenville, 5. g.,
high school coach, during an hour
speech before welfare department
workers last June, discussed the
method of selecting G-men, the
proper way to run down dangerous
criminals, the evils Of narcotics and
other information which he claimed
he gathered while in the FBl.
After the talk, Brown conducted
an open forum during which he
told of his experiences in tracking
down notorious lawbreaRers.
Federal officers also testified that
Brown, through impersonating a
Oman, secured the transfer of his
brother-in -in-law, Nick Brown, a state
probationer, from Kinston to Ok
ford The transfer was arranged
through conversations with Paroles
Commissioner Edwin Gill.
Officers said insofar as they
knew, Brown had not used his as
sumed role as a Oman to obtain
any money or anything else of tan
| gible value.
Although admitting he had i'm
personated an officer, Brown denied
he had specifically represented him
self as an FBI agent. He told the
court he formerly was employed as
an investigator for the ERA and
FERA, relief agencies, in Green
vile, S. c., and had leaAled federal
investigation methods through his
association with those bureaus.
He said he chad always dreamed"
,of being a Oman and had taken
several examinations in an effort
to enter the service but was turned
down. He said he didn't know why
he posed as a government agent
unless it was because he wanted
to feel big"
SUPERINTENDENT w. E. Stanley ex-
planned that Brown spoke before
the welfare department upon the
! invitation of case worker who
had charge of the program. Brown,
he said, made good talk and all of
the workers, including himself, be-
lieved he was bona fide G-man.
| At the time of his arrest here last
lmonth Brown had been employed
as athletic director at the Hender-
son high school but after learning
of the Oman charge officials of the
school refused him the position.

Wildcats Are
Pointing To
Duke Contest

Davidson, Sept. 7.-Davidson' Is
Wildcats, after throwing a scare into
N c. States Wolfpack last week,
are pointing toward Dukes mighty
Blue Devils, unseen and untried
since their Rose Bowl CLASSIC last
January. All members of the squad
came out Of the Wolf scrap in fine
shape and will be ready to- 90
against the Dukes.
With George McAfee, star back of
two years ago, back in harness, the
Dukes will present probably the
smoothest combination that will ap-
pear on Richardson field this year.
The loss Of the famed Iron Duke
forward wall presented Head Coach
Wallace Wade with a problem but
with Captain Allen "SWeet Pea"
Johnson heading a list Of heavy,
fast, and capable linemen, the
Devils appear to have another for
ward we'll that rates with the one
that was not scored upon last year.
In weight, age, and experience they
have the edge over the Davidson
line
Davidson will again depend upon
sophomores. Against State these
first year men played good ball
and it was Stan Yoder and Elmer
Knoeller, both sophs, who led the
defensive play against the Wolf at
tack. At one time during the con-
test three soph backs were in the
Cat backfield and all three came
up TO expectations.
While the. Cat rate as underdogs
they will more than likely use every
available trick to set the Dukes
back. Their last victory, which came
i'll 1929, was result of Thad
Brooks famed 104 yard run from
behind his own goal line.

year he was nominated for the Sem

caucus In the new State and was
Washington's "favorite son" candi-
date for Vice President at the Demo-
cratic National Convention In Kan
sas City.
Despite his honors in the Far
West, he moved to Chicago in 1903.
Two years later he was corporation
counsel for the city Of Chicago.
Democratic candidate for Governor
Of Illinois in 1908 and was elected
Senator in 1912.
Medill Mccormick, Republican,
defeated Lewis attempt at re-elec-
ton in 1918 and until 1880 Illinois
remained consistently Republican on
major omces. Then Ruth Hanna
Mccormick, widow Of Lewis 1918
opponent, won the Republican sena-
torial primary and Lewis defeated
her in the election by 100000 votes.
In that campaign the Lewis polite
ness reached an apex. He never
criticized Mrs. Mccormick PERSONAL
ly. but answered her statements
with: "The lady has been led into
error" After the votes were count
ed when news photographers asked
him to smile. the courtly victor said:
Gentlemen. I will not exult over
the defeat of a woman"
III health first came to Senator
Lewis in the 1880 campaign. He
complained that an insect injured
his throat while he was making a
speech.
In June, 1882, after strenuous
tour of duty in the Senate, he un-
derwent an operation for removal
of his tonsils. The strain of over
work slowed his recovery, but he
accepted a Government mission to
Europe. In Paris he fell i'll again
and his return was delayed until
october. He made only one address
in the 1882 campaign.
Another siege In hospital fol-
lowed and he left his bed against
his physicians orders to attend the
opening of Congress in December.
Throughout these months he was
constantly attended by his wife, the
former Miss Rose Lawton Douglas.
Mrs. Lewis. charmingly vivacious,
was a perfect foil for her courtly
husband. Friends said he always
removed his hat and bowed sub
consciously when talking to her over
the telephone.
Once, as they crossed the lobby OF
a fashionable Chicago hotel, Senator
Lewis halted before a young woman,
bowed deeply and said: Madam,
you may inform your husband that
James Hamilton Lewis thinks that
is a very becoming gown" The Sen
ator bowed again to the surprised
but pleased lady and resumed his
walk.

his sense Of humor allowed him to

delighted especially to tell Of q red

listened to his elaborately polite
comments on the food and her own
nainistrations and appearance, then
shot at him:

been kidded by experts"
At one time, 1t was told around
the Capital, Senator Lewis never saw

ance to whom he should speak
