Plenty Hard
Work Given
To Bulldogs

Hard work and plenty of it was the
menu yesterday for Henderson high
school football hopefuls, and the same
dlsn was to be served this afternoon.
Coach Bing Miller took the backs in
TOW Monday, turning linemen over
TO Coach Fred Fitzpatrick
Blocking received most of the
stress, with the mentors determined
that the lads will know how to ham
die this phase of the game. Several
OF the lads showed up quite well in
the drills, but all showed that an
other blocking drill today ana every
day would do them little harm.
Howard Faulkner, big fullback,
was given long lesson in kicking,
and at times got Off fair kicks. Billy
Gambler, last years ace kicker and
passer, gave the young fellow few
lessons in how TO boot the p:gs!<in
doWnfield.
Paul Blake, guard last year, and
who is expected to see service in the
backfield this year, was passing them
late into the day as Miller groomed
the boy for that backfield cnore.
There was to be more work today.
and every day through the week and
much Of next week before the
coaches pit their charges against the
powerful Roanoke Rapids team a

Pennant Races
At AGlanCe
(By The Associated Pres)s

The Cincinnati Reds aren't gain
ing any ground in their race for
the National league pennant, but
they're not losing any either, and
that's what is making things tough
for the second-place st. Louis Car
linals.
AS a result of Monday double
headers, in which the Reds got a
split with the Boston Bee, and the
Cards came back to break even
with the New York Giants, Gin
l.A.-atl and st. Louis still rre sepa-
rated by three and ha- games.
TwO-Game Bulge.
But the Reds hold an important
two-game bulge. They have Is
games left to play, to the Cardinals
13. Boiling that down to simpler
mathematics, it means that, even if
the Cardinals should win 10 of
these 13 battles, four of which will
be with Cincinnati, the Reds still
could ease into the championship
by winning eight Of their Is.
For brief spell Monday, the
Reds Widened their margin to 4 l-2
games. That was when they beat
the Bees in the opener, Al, while
the Giants topped the Cards by z
2. But Boston edged out 5-4 vic
tory in the nightcap as the Cards
rallied to rout the Giants, 1875. That
left them right where they started.
Get 99th Victory.
The Yankees got back to style
befitting the new American league
champions by whipping the st.
Louis Brown, 6-2, for the triumph
No. 99 Behind them the race for
second and third place tightened up
rs the. Cleveland Indians beat the
Philadelphia Athletics, "a, to tie
the idle Chicago White SOX in third.
Both are three games behind the
Boston Red Sox.

Tar Heels Prepare For
Aerial Attack Saturday

Chapel Hill, Sept 19.-The Caro-
lima football squad has Gone an
abOutface this week and is putting in
as much work on its pass defense as
it is on its own much heralded and
anticipated aerial attack.
The CitadePs Light Brigade, which
rides into Kenan Stadium Saturday,
is reported to have one Of the best
aerial batteries in Dixie in Graham
Edwards, all state back Wilmington
and Bob David, rangy end.
With two passers like George
Stirnweiss and Jim Lalanne and sew
eral fine receivers headed by Jim
Mallory, Paul SEVERN, George Rad
man, and Mike Bobbitt, Carolina al
SO has fine potential passing game.
The clash of the two star aerial
batteries should produce fireworks
and thrills galore. But it may pro-
duce just as many heart and head
aches for the coaches. And Coach
Wolf, who we'll knows the value and
danger of the pass, is taking no
chances.
Where their first thought last week
was to see how many heaves they
could complete, Stirny, Jim and
mates today are alternating at pass
ing and knocking 'em down, and the
word is out in the Tar Heel camp
to "Watch Edwards"
'sHe is one Of the best tailbacks in
the South" Coach Wolf warned the
Carolina squad. "And don't let the
rest of the team fool you either.
They're light but they're fast, smart
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-09-19

and scrappy. They have good pass
ing as well as running attack. And
they're pointing for U.S."
Coach Wolf would doubtless like
to do some pointing on his own for
Wake Forest since the Deacons' a.
9 runaway over Elon. But with The
Citadel looming as dangerous as it
does, he told the Tar Heels, eve have
to take every game as it comes. All
want you to think about for the
next week is The Citadel"

Cotton Vote
December 9
Over Control

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 10.
A referendum on cotton marketing
quotas for the 1889 crop, similar to
those which have been in effect for
the last two seasons, will be held De-
cember 8, E. Y. Floyd, AAA exc
cutive officer of State College, has
announced.
Approval by two-thirds of the ma
tons eligible cotton growers is re-
quired to continue quotas in effect
for 1910. The 1889 quota was ap-
proved by 84.1 percent of the grow
ers voting.
Floyd pointed out that the nation
al cotton quota proclaimed by Sec
retary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace for 1910 is the same as for 1899
This will make possible, with normal
Yields, the marketing within the
quota of approximately IL million
bales during the year beginning on
August 1, 1910.
The conservation phases of the
Agricultural Conservation Program
will continue to operate regardless
of the outcome of the December 9
referendum, the AAA officer stated.
However, marketing quotas assure
growers participating in the AAA
farm program who plant within their
acreage allotments that their efforts
TO adjust supplies will not be null
flied by non-cooperators, Floyd
said.
Farmers who plant within their
acreage allotments will be able to
market all of the cotton they pro-
duce on their allotted acreage with
out penalty.
