In Five Games Cats Have

the visitors.
The Wilmington backs, although
not amassing a large number of
touchdowns in their victories, have
clearly outplayed most of their op-
ponents on the ground and have gar

first downs as their foes have been
able to grab through the local for
ward wall.
The statistics are not available on
the New Bern game other than the

games played the Wildcat backs ran
up a total of 43 first downs through
thee use of ground attack and aerial
barrage.
Elverton Stands, back, has marked
up one touchdown; Floyd Merritt
marked up one touchdown in the
first game of the season and Jen-

OUTDOOR WRITER'S
LEAVE FOR HOMES
Little Business Transacted On
Annual Meeting At South
port And Caswell

SOUTHPORT, Nov. 5.-Officers
and directors of the Outdoor Writ
ers' Association of America left
for their homes in Michigan, Ohio,
Washington, and Maryland, Mon
day. Very little business was
transacted during the five days
here in fact the whole lone of the
gathering was in the nature of a
visit to North Carolina, rather
than for business purposes.
They fished, hunted and fished,
cruised and went sightseeing. In
the way of sports about the most
notable occurrence was when Presi-
dent Dave Roberts was surf cast
ing for drum on Bald Head island.
His first prize was a 80 FOUNDER
and after fighting it to the edge of
the water he came near losing it.
The only thing that prevented the
prize from escaping was the fact
that Captain L. O. Hawk, of the
Shakespeare company, dashed in
to the water and threw himself
on the big fellow. Assisted by 9TH
ers he carried it on the beach.
Photographers made great capital
out of the Roberts russell and the
escue by Captain Hawk.
More than 30 sharks were caught
by the surf casters, along with
some stingarees and blues, floun-
der and the drum.
During the stay here the asso-
citation had a flood of kilograms,
mostly from Myrtle Beach, asking
for a visit before the return home.
Owing to arrangements having al
ready been made, President Rob-
erts instructed that his thanks and
that of the association be sent
these we'll Wishers.
Several of the officials stated
they planned to return here soon,
or within the year for more hunt
ing and fishing. They we're enter
tanned at CasWell Lodge, Fort Cas-
we'll. Department of Conservation
and Development officials cooper
ated handsomely in seeking to see
that all had a great time. l

through a crack in the fence the
gold-clad team was seen running
plays against the varsity a e

string backs were hurting passes
at the varsity State backs; and
later, the players taking the parts
of the Deacons were put on the de-

TRIBE PILOT TO BE NAMED SOON
C0CHRANE, HARRIS
ARE NOT ON LIST
Peckinpaugh, Sewell Are Be-
ing Considered; Bradley
May Name Dark Horse
BY LARRY HAuCK

CLEVELAND, Nov. 5.-R-The
Cleveland Indians managerial derby,
picking up more entries at every
turn, headed into, the home stretch
today as President Alva Bradley de-
clared he would name a 1941 pilot
next Tuesday.
IT am working IN the matter now
and expect to have it virtually clear
ed up by the Weekend" Bradley
said.
The club president added that
Mickey Cochrane, former Detroit
manager and reported one of the
leading candidates, was mot being
considered" Cochrane was the
second possibility eliminated within
a day, Manager Bucky Harris hav.
ing signed a new contract with
Washington.
The move left only two men in
the field with whom Bradley has
admitted conferring-former Man
ager Roger Peckinpaugh and Coach
Luke Sewell.
Peckpinpaugh, a Clevelander who
is connected with the American
league in a promotional capacity
piloted the Indians five full seasons
starting in 1928. He was discharged
and replaced by Walter johnson in
the middle of his sixth year.
Sewell, erstwhile Cleveland catch
er who lives in nearby Akron, has
had no managerial experience.
Roger Hornsby was being mention
ed frequently. Even Babe Ruth was
on mythical lists compiled by writ
ers and fans.
Bradley's recent Chicago confer
ence with Baseball Commissioner X.
NJ. Lands and his proposed trip to
New York city late this week gave
rise to reports that the Indians were
not seriously considering the home
towners'-Peckinpaugh and Sewell
and would probably name a dark
horse.
Three years ago the club took the
baseball world by surprise in select
ing Oscar Witt, then Newark a
ager. Witt was fired last week as
the outgrowth of the bizarre player
rebellion here last summer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-R-Being
No. 3, Vol. II, of footballs "Screwy
News" ISSUED on the theory that
you can't read election results for
ever):
From that Ohio State-Cornell con-
troversy you probably learned that
it's an officials duty to call and
penalize coaching from the sidelines
if it's brought to his attention. But
the head linesman in one of Mar
quette's games this year worked on
the idea that he first should issue a
warning.
At a point when Marquette was
having a tough time getting the ball
past midfield, the linesman came up
to End Bob Steske and said:
Don't you look over toward your
bench before the next play, or I'll
have tc penalize you. Somebody over
there's been yelling IT, IT, for the
last couple of minutes"
The quarterback promptly called
for No. 77-which was good for rs
yards.

ShySter Tricks
There used to be a lot of shyster
tricks pulled on the gridiron back
:. tbp bearded days. When the
came first began, the pigskin was
flled with sawdust and a favorite
trick of players was to shake all
-be shavings out, stick the ball
Under their shirts and walk down
tho field. That was a good trick,
il it worked.
But now it looks like everyone
lnovs the tricks and it's no use to
try any legerdemainiacism. Foot
hall is making the breaks, taking
the breaks and being bigger and
better than the other fellow. If
Won use that simple system you'll
WIN a lot of ball games. Or maybe
yon'd better ask Major Bob Ney-

Football has come a far piece.
And as far as we a see there's
10 de-emphasis going on, despite
what the poison ivy league says.
Getting The Bird
Rocky Mounts Blackbirds are
en- route to an Eastern Class A
conference football championship.
That is unless Wilson decides
otherwise.
Last Friday night the Birds beat
Durham AT. They'll play Wilson

past that encounter they should
have the crown in a bag.
Incidentally when Durham's
state champions of 1889 scored
their touchdown Friday it was the
first time this year that a team
had scored through the big Black
bird line.
W~ilmington's players are willing

Keeping 1t Straight

Under pro rules, you can throw a
forward pass from anywhere behind
the line of scrimmage. Many pro
plays start out like line bucks, with
the bucker r'aring up at the last
second to pitch a pass.
An eastern college which saw the
line between amateurism and profess
sionalism as only blur and didn't
care much what the players did on
the outside SO long as they showed
up for games was playing on a re-
cent Saturday.
One of the backs faxed a buck,
then passed and. his team was pen
allied. He did it again, and again
the officials penalized his pro STRAIT
egg.
After the game the coach was
asked what got into his boy.
"Just forgot what day of the week
it was" was the casual reply.

Football is more or less an unbranded offspring from
rugby and the game that the Filipinos used to play a few
hundred years ago in the land of down under. It has been
far less than a hundred years since it was started in this
country and look where it is now. It takes more adjectives

bers of the wage-earner's family. These family insurance payments are based upon his benefit rate. For instance, when a man past 65 stops work and draws his monthly insur- ance payments, his wife, if she is also 65 years old or more, will re- ceive benefit equal to one-half that of her husband. If her husband dies, her benefit will be increased to three-fourths. If the insured worker dies before he is 65, monthly insur- ance payments will go to his widow even if she is not yet 65, provided she is caring for his children. In such a case the widow will receive three fourths of her husbands benefit rate, and each child under 16, or 18 if he is in school, will get insurance pay ments equal to one-half of the fathers benefit rate, so long as the total payments to the family do not amount to more than twice his ben eft rate.
 Some people ask what the differ ence is between private insurance and social security. Well, would say that private insurance is con- cerned with the protection of the individual-protection against wide variety of risks to life, property and health. For this individual protec- tion, people pay enough to cover the risk and the expense to the insuring company. Social insurance is de- signed to protect not only the i1- dividual but also the community. By pooling the risks on a broad na- tional base, it can provide security against social and economic dangers which might otherwise bring many people to want and so result in vast problems.
 There are still some people who do not see the social angle of this gov- ernment insurance plan. It is some times suggested, for instance, that the recent changes depart from the
