cats TO MEET
RALEIGH FRIDAY
Local Gridsters Are Rated
About Even With Purple
Hurricane Eleven

The battle of the season will take
place on Friday night when New
Hanover High schools Wildcats,
with their heavy tanks defending
the forward wall and power-driven
backs bringing up the offense, will
face the Purple Hurricane of Raj
eigh High school with its deadly
passing attack, on Legion field at
8 pm.
The Wildcat coaches will spend
the entire week on pass defense
and an attack which will cope with
the Raleigh Hurricane. The locals
have not defeated the visitors in
many a day, but from the looks OF
scores in the conference the Cap
itals are not on a par with the
heavier foes of the family circle
and the Cats are about on an
even footing with them.
The local felines have won three
games from lesser foes but have
been stopped by Durham and Rock
Mount in the select group. Raleigh
has dropped contests to Wilson of
the eastern conference and Green's
boro of the Western division.
Appearing on the local field for
the first time in four years the
Hurricane will be trying the Legion
turf for the first time, but the
Cats r already at home on this
beautiful green pasture. Neither
team will rule the favorite when it
enters the game Friday night for
it will be a battle to leave the
red" and anything is liable to
happen.
AS an added attraction the ROTC
will hold its annual dress parade
in honor of its sponsors and the
company and battalion sponsors
will be presented to the public at
the ceremony which will take place
during the half-time intermission.
Last year the event was held for
the first time during a football
game and was an impressive and
beautiful ceremony. l

from Garfield, N. ]. kicked a field
goal from the 25-yard line in the
last 40 seconds of play to give
Washington and Lees Generals a
8 tt 0 victory over the University
of Richmond Spiders before $500
r~ain-soaked spectators in City sta
dunn today.
From his place on the bench where
he had watched SO minutes of the
ball game, Socha was trotted onto
the field to play the hero's role.
It was fourth down and the Gen.
erals had been pushed back from
the Spider three to the II.
With Dan Justice, veteran back,
holding the ball, Socha kicked it
between the uprights and the Cen
erals raked in the blue chips on
their only scoring threat of the aft
ernoon.
Twice the Spiders penetrated the
Generals 20-yard line-once in the
first period and again in the third
- and both times they were re-
pulsed.

THANKS. PAL

With a grateful nod toward

statisticians, your correspondent

fusion to report that Pe~nnsylva-
MAS football team whipped Prince
ton today, IS to %. Without those
statisticians your correspondent
would have been begged down
hopelessly. Through their kind eff
forts, he can give you the follow
ing figures which may present
some slight idea of what happened
before the startled eyes of some
$1,000 spectators in Franklin field:
Francis Xavier Reagan of Phila-
delphia, scored five of the seven
Penn. touchdowns and kicked one
extra point for a personsl total of
81 points, equallying Walt. Scull's
all-time Penn record. Reagan also
threw a touchdown pass in a play
that covered 81 yards, kicked punts
that seemed to come out of a can
non, and carried the ball IS times
for a net gain of 200 yards. It
was an utterly screwy ball game
that defied analysis and when it
was all over it started to snow. l

Georgia Tech Proves

hopes that Georgia Tech would be
a bit softer this season-the Techs
have it again and they proved it to
20, 900 home customers today by
walloping a tough Vanderbilt team,

The Yellow Jackets made it look
like an easy job to beat the Com
modores as they cashed in neatly
on power, passing and alertness
but Princeton and Kentucky can
tell you that Vandy is no pushover,
so it must be that Alexander's rag

GallOvich Puts On Pressure In

WAKE FOREST, Oct. 19.-LP-
Wake Forests Deacons showed their
stuff in the last half tonight and
won a slam-bang i~ntersectional foot
ball game from Marshall college by
81 to 10.
The Deacons scored first, then the
lead changed three times in the sec
ond period to thrill the crowd Of s.,
900. Going into the last half trailing
by ~ to 10, Wake Forest put on the
pressure with G%alloping Tony Gallo
vich setting the pace and went on to
win.
Gallovich raced SO yards around
right end for one Wake Forest
touchdown, ran 68 yards to set UP
the first score for the Deacons and
trotted So to set up another, which
he made himself on a three-yaro
sweep of left end. He also did some
neat defensive work and some punt.
Marshall had a snappy, fast NOV.
ing team that threw a big scare into
Deaconland in the second quarter.
A beautiful passing attack was

DAntoni to Harley Kuhl for a
Then Jackie Hunt, rangy
back, slipped through the center of

LALANNE GIVEN
CREDIT FOR WIN
Scores One Touchdown, Sets
Up Another, Then Snags
Man To Save Game
BY FRANK B. GILBRETH

RALEIGH, Oct. 19-R-Sweet
Jim Lalanne scored n touch
down, set up another and then
saved the ball game for his North
Carolina mates by coming out OF
nowhere and mailing a runner from
behind, as the Tar Heels defeated
N. c. State 1877, in an action pack
ed southern conference game here
today before $1,000.
State took an early lead, scoring
five minutes after the opening
kickoff. The touchdown Vas set up
after a State punt bounced off the
leg of Don Baker, and was cover
ed on North Cardinals 81 by Ralph
Burt, State guard. Pat Fehley
gained II and a pass from Dick
Watts to Jack Hurkabee was good
in the end zone. Fehley kicked
the placement.
Lalanne evened the count with
10 seconds left in the first quarter.
Plunging over left guard from the
two-yard stripe, Harry Dunkle con-
verted from placement.
Sweet Jim took over personally
in the third period. Starting on
States 40, he carried the ball for
eight successive plays, swivel-hip-
ping through the Wolfpack line
for ~ yards. He went over on the
ninth play, but his mates were off
side. Two plays later, however,
Paul SEVERN scored on an end
around. Severin's placement was
wide and short.
State came within an ace of a
Hollywood finish in the final quart
er, when Fehley, standing in his
end zone, tossed a pass to Watts
in the flat. Watts galloped Is
yards, and then shot a lateral
back to Fehley, who was in tn.
clear. Fehley raced all the way t.
North Cardinals 16, where he was
pulled down from behind by
Lalanne.
A light drizzle fell during most
of the game, which was a high
light of Greater University Day
here. Both State and Carolina are
units of the Greater University of
North Carolina.
The Tar Heels we're favored to
take the game in a walk, but the
fighting Wolfpack made things
tough from start to finish. Star of
81 ties attack was Dick Watts,
whose flashy runs and passes kept
the Raleigh team in the game all
the way.
Even after La1anne's sensational
burst of speed prevented Fehley
from scoring in the final quarter,
the Wolves kept coming back, and
coming back, until most of the
spectators were on their feet in
various stages of hysteria.
Lalanne's tackle gave State the
ball on Cardinals 16. On the very
next play, Watts cold as a GU
cumber-shot a beautiful pass to
Marion Stilwell in the end zone.
The ball was right in Stilwell's
mitts but he dropped it.
Three plays later, Carolina got
the ball on downs on the II, and
Lalanne punted to his own 48. 3
