M'Iver Out With Injury; 9th
er Injured Players Getting
Back Into Condition

The New Hanover Wildcats took a
light workout yesterday afternoon in
preparation for the Golds;ooro game
Friday night on Legion field at s
o'clock.
Clifford McIver, varsity center,
was out with an eye injury which
may keep him out of the Came this
week. Bill Mcdonald, who was in on
the play last Friday in which McIver
was injured will get the starting call
at center if McIver is unable to
play.

wards, who were also hurt in the
Wilson game, seemed to be in good
spirits yesterday and will be on hand
for the 'Quakes. The rest of the
squad cmae through the game with
only minor bruises and settled down
to work
The Wildcats plunging fullback,
Billy Pittman, is still on the sick
list and it is doubtful if he will be
available for the Goldsboro contest
Pittman has been missed in the last
few games for he was leading the
local backs in yardage gained.
Wilson defeated the Wayne lads
8 to in an earlier season game, so
the Wildcats are looking for a tough
battle. Last year the 'Quakes de-
feated the locals in Goldsboro and
will enter the game as top favorites.
If the locals can make some of their
yardage pay off when near the goal
they may come out on top in this
contest. The Cats made enough
first downs and gained enough
ground through the air to place them
deep in enemy territory during the
Wilson game, but their attack begged
down when near the goal.

DARK HORSE MAY

Farley Also In Cleveland To
Make Plans For Purchase
Of Yanks Ball Club
BY RAY BLOSSER

CLEVELAND, Nov. 1l.-hf-
Item No. 1: The Cleveland Indians
are unveiling that man tomorrow
Item No. 2: James A. Farley
breezed into Cleveland today.
Farley escaped Identification as
the Indians new manager only be-
cause he came here to see about
taking over the New York Yank-

baseball mysteries, for:
1.-The Indians unveiling, it was
officially announced, will take
place at a luncheon for neWsmen
in an East Ninth street restaurant,
just a few steps from the city S
burlesque palace.
2-The former postmaster gen
eral went into huddle with Smith
Davis, staccato-voiced Cleveland
broker who once played football
for Western Reserve university.
Davis said they were discussing
final stages" of purchase OF the
Yankee baseball chain gang by an
investors syndicate for a little
matter of about $4,000,000.
Farley, soft drink executive who
is doped to succeed the late brew.
er Jacob Rupert as Yankee chief
tain, remarked ''the deal is no'
dead-as some reports have had
it. It's still very much alive" FL
nal arrangements, added Davis,
are slated before the end of this
month";
The two talked a few hours, then
left Cleveland for some other, un-
disclosed Ohio city. The men with
the mazuma are understood to live
in several cities and Farley and
Davis said they would proceed to-
morrow to Kansas City, where the
Yankees have a farm club. The
deal is expected to give Farley
half the common (voting) stock
plus salary-for his services.

gcing over Texas Tech formations.
The Deacons will leave here to-
morrow night for Lubbock, Texas,
where they will play the Techs
Saturday afternoon. They will
workout Wednesday in Memphis,
Tenn, and Thursday in Dallas,

WAR INTERPRETIVE

plete victory than when France
fell only a few months ago. Brit
ain has survived the first shock
of attack and is striking back. Her
little ally, Greece, has turned the
edge of an Italian thanking thrust
in the Balkans, against all odds.
That alone revises the war picture
imponderably in Britain's favor.
To cap it, nature has taken a
double hand in the conflict. Earth
quakes in Rumania have wrought
grave damage, according to first
accounts, to the vital Nazi-Fascist
oil resources there, and to the rail-
road facilities for transporting the
fuel to the battlefronts, The onset
of winter storms in the Greek-Al-
banian border terrain makes TIA
liam efforts to subdue the Greeks
doubly difficult.
1t will take time to reorganize
and renew the Italian attack, time
that Italy can i'll afford as winter
closes down on the battle area to
limit mechanical warfare and air
operations. And if the earthquake
causes any interruption in the flow
of Rumanian oil to Germany it
will be a serious matter for Ber-
lin. The Danube water route of
transportation soon will be closed
by ice. Rumanian rail facilities are
inadequate at best and may have
been crippled by the earth tremors.
Another Item
The recent announcement that
the United States would increase
its material assistance to- Britain
was another item in the war bal
ance that helped strip the Armis-
tice day of some of its gloom for
the bomb-blasted English people.
The natural disaster in Ruman-
ian oil fields could prove the most
important Of these developments.
The Greek stand, howe -er, h a S

dims italian military prestige and
renders the possibility of native
uprising against Britain in Africa
remote. Instead, BRIAN is obvious
ly preparing to take the offensive
soon against the Italian invaders
in Egypt.

Molotoff of Russia has gone to Ber-

CARPENTER FINDS
FISH BITE HERE
Newsman Spends Weekend
At Southport; Catches To
Bring Him Back
BY BILL KEZIAH

SOUTHPORT, Nov. II. - Donald
N. Carpenter, hunting and fishing
editor of the Washington, D. c.,
Daily News, is sold and signed on
the dotted line for the fishing on
the lower North Carolina coast.
Accompanied by a photographer,
George E. Koplin, Jr., and Harry
M. Seydel and Wilbur D. Moxley,
Mr.. Carpenter left Washington at
o'clock Friday afternoon and arrived
here at 10:30 O'Clock. The quick
and easy time down was score one
for this part of the coast.
Saturday fishing conditions were
not so good, trouble with the engine
of boat and bad weather. The
party fished while in the river
and made a nice little cacth. They
followed that up with trip out into
the country and were interested in
seeing a deer grazing in a field.
The woods and endless number of
fresh water ponds, lakes and streams
did not escape attention. They all
argued for wonderful fresh water
fishing, in the minds of the visitors.
Sunday morning, aboard the Taro'
bill, Captain Victor Lance, who Is
to base at Southport next spring,
the party set out for Frying Pan
lightship. Captain Lance had only
been to the ship once before. He
was not fully acquainted with the
fishing areas. For still another alibi,
the east wind was blowing, the
waters were all muddy and it began
to rain when they began to fish.
They stod it for an hour, and set
out for home. The check up on
arrival showed them to have:
One SO pound amber jack (actual
weight) caught by Carpenter with a
light rod and line. One 2 pound
Arctic bonita; one pound barra-
cuda; four tuna, 9 to II pounds
each; five abbacore, 8 to 12 pounds
each.
Koplin hung four and a half foot
barracuda and lost it and line to a
huge spinner shark when the 'cuda
was less than 20 feet from the boat.
They also lost big tuna to shark.
Carpenter fishes and hunts more
than hundred days out of each
year. He knows the whole Atlantic
coast. He came in from this trip
thinking the catch would have been
very nice one for even the best of
weather and best of conditions, none
of which they had. He was aston.
ished when he learned that all of
the wonderful local catches Of fish
that he had read about during the
summer were made from boats that
carried no outriggers. He urged
that all local boats be equipped with
outriggers during the winter or that
sport fishing cruisers like the Taro-
bill be induced to base here in the
spring. He said that the business
would come here for these boats.
that he and other rod and gun men
would see to that, now that they
had found out that the lower coast
really had the fishing.

|21
Everyone in North Carolina and
Virginia knows that the game be-
tween the Tar Heels and the Cava-
liers belongs normally on Thanks
giving day. The teams have play
ed on Thanksgiving since 1910
except in 1917 and 1918 when the
games were cancelled because of
the World war.
But what to do when there are
two Thanksgiving in one year?
The problem was simple one last
wear. when there was the same
mixup about Thanksgiving dates,
because the game was booked be-
fore President Roosevelt made his
suggestion. Consequently, the 1888
game in Chapel Hill was played
on the last Thursday in November.
But this year was a different
story. The schedule-makers knew
well in advance that there were
going to be two Thanksgivings.
There was, of course, the alter
native of playing on both Thanks
givings. Back in 1892, when the
Carolina VS.. Virginia series start
ed, the schools played two games
in a single year.
But the schedule-makers finally
decided that a compromise was in
order. Instead of having the game
on Virginia's Thanksgiving, or on
North Carolinian's Thanksgiving
or on both Thanksgivings, they
booked the contest for the Sat,
urday between the dates-Novem.

TERMED
AS BIG BUSINESS
Meehan Says Eastern Col
leges Should Awaken To
Fact About Grid Game
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-lR-TWo
diametrically-opposed views on the
future of college football were pre-
sented at today's luncheon OF the
New York Football Writers asso-
citation.
Chick Meehan, introduced as a
Coach emeritus" and speaking,
strictly on his own, insisted it was
high time Eastern colleges realized
football was big business and ac-
cepted it as such. Ken Fairman,
graduate manager of athletics at
Princeton, predicted the probable
curtailment of intercollegiate COM
petition, but with athletics surviv-
ing on "sports for alp or largely
intra-mural basis.
Meehan, who raised New York
U. to the status of a major grid
iron power and started Manhattan
on the way up, pointed to the rise
in importance of many Southwest
ern and Southern colleges, and at
tributed it largely to the wide no.
tice their football teams received
''Those teams weren't built up,
by the colleges alone" he declar-
ed. 'The Rotary clubs, the bust
ness men, the chambers of COM
|merce-they all pitched in. Why?
Because it was good business for
them. You don't suppose the ho-
tel-keepers and restaurant owners
in Minneapolis were mad last Sat-
urday because Michigan and Min
nesota played to $4,000 people, do
you?
Footballs a big business from
which everyone benefits. 1t always
has been a business, something
you're doing to help build up an
institution.
Then Meehan switched, without
any direct reference, to the re-
cent statement by Ogden Miller,
chairman of Yale's athletic council
that Yale would not go out of its
way to seek football material.
"a few more years of empty
trains running up to New Haven"
said Chick, land the directors of
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad will see to it
that that situation is changed"
Fairman described college ath-
letic development from the first
stage of undergraduate sports clubs
to the acceptance, within the last
10 to Is years, of sports as part
of the college curriculum. Private
ly-endowed colleges particularly,
he then declared, may be forced
to reduce their programs because
of declining endowmentss and de-
crease in the football p t S
which have made it possible for
them to enlarge their intra-mural
programs.
But athletics will be continued
in any event." said Fairman, land
we at Princeton believe we are on
the right track in providing some
sort of competition for every un.
dergraduate who is not physically
incapacitated."
Fairman, without mentioning
this years ''inger-pointing" al
Cornell's unbeaten team, said col
lege alumni who get suspicious
when their own team is losing anc
one of it's main rivals is winning
might learn a lesson from the
boys who play the games. There
is no finer group of sportsmen
anywhere. You'll never find any
quibbling there 2
