DURHAM, Oct. 22.-R-Moffat
Storer, Duke sophomore halfback
who last Saturday made runs of
80 and 81 yards against Colgate,
the former for Dukes second
touchdown, was lost for the season
today when he fractured a small
bone in his shoulder during a brief
offensive scrimmage session.
Storer's injury occurred on one
of the last plays of the skirmish
and it was not thought he was
badly hurt but he was taken to
Duke hospital for an examination
and found that a small bone had
been fractured.
Storer played a great game in
Dukes opener with V. M. I. and

1t comes as a terrific blow to
the Blue Devils as the coaches

track clothes, Storer had amazing
speed for a 178-pounder and it was
his speed that made him SO dan

When the running game has

air with devastating sureness. 1t
has made no difference whether
Bob Foxx or Johnny Butler or
BUST Warren or Van Thompson
was doing the tossing. The air
game packs a touchdown punch.
That's the discouraging situation
facing the Florida Alligators when
they square off against the Ten

eastern conference tussle.
The Vols scored 81 touchdowns
against Mercer, Duke, Chattanoo-
ga and Alabama-seven ~ air
with a cunning mixture of power
and passes.
It was a pass that cracked
Dukes highly-touted Blue Devils.
Foxx faded back in the second
quarter and shot a pass into the
hands of sophomore end AL Hust,
who romped into the end zone with
the first score. The Vols barely
missed two other touchdown pass
es in the game.
Alabama was overwhelmed with
passes. Johnny Butler tossed to
this same Al Hust for the Vols
first score, and later in the game,
Buist Warren pitched two strikes
to Mile Balitsaris to clinch the
argument.

down Jennings Edwards and

ing the heavy work in the for
ward wall there is talk of stopping
Raleigh in its first appearance on
the local field in four years. The

day night, it is hoped, will tell a
different story.
Neil Kelley, back, who has been
out of the lineup for sometime has
been working out daily and seems
ready to go this game. His pre-

bolster the Cats chances of climb

CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 22.-R-
North Carolina and Tulane will
meet on the upgrade here Satur-
day in a game between two peren-
nially powerful football machines
which didn't start clicking soon

From a national standpoint,
nothing but the white chi. : of two
comeback campaigns will be at
stake. That, in itself, is unusual,
because national prestige has been
in the pot at each of the five pre-
vious encounters between tn e
Green Wave and the Tar Heels.
But from the standpoint of North
Carolina and Tulane-supporters,
the game will be a rubber contest
in n of the most evenly fought
rivalries in collegiate football.
Each team has won two of the
five games, and the fifth contest
ended in a tie. North Carolina has
made 81 points in the five games,
to Tulane's 81. And zach game has
been bad news for the favorite.
Before the start of this season,
the Tar Heels and the Green Wave
were rated as two of the potential
ly Great teams of the nation.
Coaches of both outfits were fairly
optimistic. Professional dopesters
said there was a wealth of materi.

lima looked even less potent than
