UNCLE RAYS CORNER

After Mackenzie explored the
Rreat river which bears his name
he set out on new journey which
was perhaps equally exciting. This
time he set out to cross the Cana
dian Rockies.
At present, hundreds of persons
cross the Rockies each day Of the
year, but that wasn't so 148 years
ago. Mackenzie did his great work
before Lewis and Clark travelled to
the Pacific Coast. 1t was long
time before steam railway lines
were built.
The first part of the trip was up
the Peace River, a journey OF hum
dreds of miles. In october halt
was made and a fort was built.
Here the party stayed until the fol-
lowing May.
Picking several men from his
companions, among them Scots
man and a few Frenchmen, Mac
kenzie went on toward the west in
an eXtra-large canoe. The going
was now rough and often the eX-
piorers had to wade in the river.
pushing their canoe past steep
rapids.
BY and by, even that sort of
progress could not be made through
the furious mountain torrent. So
Mackenzie fastened a 18O-foot rope
to one end of the canoe and the
men hauled it forward. Sometimes
steps had to be cut in the cliffs be-

The distance to that river was 8

BEARS MAN GRID

Coach Burks Gives Junior High
Squad Its Daily Workout;
Offense Stressed
BY GlENWARD rLOMME

Six-man football in New Han
over county schools this year will
be a success if the Isaac Bear
team is any indication of the type
of team which will enter competi-
ton with the three other Junior
high squads. Tileston. Hemenway
and Winter Park.
The Bears have been working
out each afternoon on the Penn
broke Jones gridiron under Coach
Leo Burks and are in first class
condition for the opening game,
next Tuesday afternoon on Rob
ert Strange field.
Coach Burks is doing a good
job of moulding these young ath-
letes in to a representative squad
in the county's new athletic pro-
gram handled by Relmon Robin
son, director. For he past several
days the Bears have undergone d
rigid practice in tackling, block
ing and running plays.
Most of the running plays are
built around the speed artists, Win
fred Sutton and Jack LoWrimore
with Hobson Bennett bearing the
brunt of the line bucking and also
care of blocking back duties. Coach
Burks has developed an excellent
kicker in Gene Carson, lanky
end.
The line duties will be taken care
of by Frenchie Greer, Jasper Bish-
op, Fred Cottle, Billy Murray, and
George Lassiter and Wayne Trout
man. The average weight of the
first team will be around l20
pounds. %Standouts among the re-

C0PHERS ALL SET
FOR C~0RNHUSKERS
Nebraska Will Rate Slight
Edge Over Minnesota But
Game Will Be Close

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. L. Up -
There's trouble brewing here for
next Saturday afternoon-the Kind
of trouble that always develops when
football teams of the Universities of
Nebraska and Minnesota get to-
gether.
That game will be the equivalent
of "out of the frying, pan into the
fire" for Minnesota, which a leap
ed into gridiron prominence again

The Gophers trimmed Washing
ton last saturday, 10 to IA, but take
it from Coach Bernie Bierman, that
kind of football won't win any divl-
dends against Coach Biff Jones
tough Cornhusker crew. Nebraska is
reported to have its best team in
manv wears and the Huskers won
last year, 6 to 0.
While Bierman indicated he was
fairly we'll pleased with his squads
play against Washington, he gave
the impression there are a number
of things to be ironed out before
the Nebraska invasion. Minnesota
was particularly weak on pass de-
tense against Washington.
While there was considerable
worry over the coming game there
was little pessimism in the Gopher
camp. Nebraska has a very outstand-
ing team, "but its edge in Saturdays
game is close enough to make a bat
tie out of it all the way" Bierman
said.
Perhaps the biggest worry concern
ing Nebraska is the fact the Gopher
staff doesn't know just what to ex-
rect next Saturday. They have had
no chance to scout the Cornhusker
team which will be playing it's first
game of the season. Nebraska
scouts, on the other hand, saw Min
nesota take Washington into camp.
The Gophers still lack suitable
backfield reserves, Bierman said to-
day; in the line, on the other hand,
the reserve strength appears fairly
close to the regulars"

Starting on the mound today will
be Bubbling Bo-Bo Newsom, who at
one time pitched for the Wilmington
Pirates. The Palmetto native has
one of the best won-lost records seen
in the American league in several
years-won 81, lost 5.
Opposing him will be Paul Der
ringer, a 20-12 winner this year.
Derringer is an exceptionally good
pitcher. He rarely loses control and
he's hard to hit.
AS for that matter, so is Newsom.
So if you figure the pitching in to-
days game it's about even. Cincln
natl has a good edge in fielding, but
to counteract that Detroit has a
giant of a margin in the hitting de-
partment. Today looks close.
We're calling today's opener an
even-stephen affair. But keep your
eyes open for the fireworks.
Watching Doc Newton's Country
Boys gallivant around and through
Davidson last Saturday night, we
were puzzled at the amount of pure
unadulterated football magic that
State has cooked up.
When the Wolfpack a a play,
there wasn't a ball in sight. Any one
of three backs could have been
carrying the ball. And the tactics
fooled Davidson completely.
State-undefeated, united and un-
scored on so far this season has
brought up a good running attack.
They can pass, too. They have won
two Southern conference games, the
same amount as they won against all
opposition last year.
At any rate, the Wolfpack looks
like the football team that Newton
would like to have. 1t goes without
saying, they'll do better this year.
Odds And Ends

eleven was caught mapping too much
on Durham's passing attack -. So

set for such tactics from Rocky
