the preliminaries, a group Of college
boys continued the drawing until
10, 500 numbers were listed in a
little more than Is hours.
Others To Draw
After Secretary Stimson draws the
first 1910 number at the interde.
partmental auditorium, subsequent
capsules will be picked out by other
high-ranking government officials
before the drawing settles down to
its tedious routine.
Although 1000, 900 more men are
involved in the 1910 draft than in
the World war lottery, the 1910
drawing is expected to take less
time than did that of 1917.
Dykstra estimated it could be done
in IL hours.
The $500 local selective service
boards throughout the country are
now laying the groundwork for the
lottery, shuffling the 1900, 900 regis
tration cards signed in last Wednes-
days enrolment of men 81 to SO in.
elusive, and assigning serial numbers
to the cards.
Numbers In the lottery bowl will
range from 1 to a number high
enough to cover the largest number
Of registrants in any one local board
area, with extra numbers to cover
late registrations.
So far, national headquarters has
not heard Of a local board with more
than $500 registrants. II any boards
registration finally exceeds TIL a t
number, state governors may be in
structed to create additional boards
to handle the extra numbers.
How System Works
To illustrate how the system win
work: If the first number drawn is
2,051, every registrant in the coun-
try holding that serial number on
his draft board card will be the first
In his area to be called to service,
unless deferred. If a board in some
sparsely.settled area does not have
a number that high, it will ignore
the first number drawn, and list the
second or some subsequent number
as its first order number. Serial
numbers are soon to be posted out
side the headquarters of local boards
and will be available for inspection.
The bowl used for the 1917 lottery
will be brought to Washington from
Philadelphia on Thursday. Mayor
Robert Lamberton Of Philadelphia
told national selective service head
quarters by telephone today that he
would provide a police escort and an
official automobile to. convoy the
bowl. Some dignitary will accom-.
pany the relic. which has been on
exhibition in Independence Hall.
Lieut.. Colonel Charles r. Norris,

Approval Given
The board of directors OF the cir
cult gave the Reds their approval to
move at a meeting Sunday. Where
the Reds and the Red Sox will take
their operations are not known, u
there are several cities in this state
and Virginia bidding for organized
baseball.
While we were p%ondering the mat
ter yesterday, there came a call
from C. E. Simpson, who was IN
Richmond, suggesting that Whining
ton put in a bid for the club that
Cincinnati is taking away from
Durham.
Simpson said he would be glad to
lend his services in helping the
cause along.
Cincinnati knows what kind OF
baseball town Wilmington is, since
it operated a farm here up until six
seasons ago. Back in the years
when Wilmington had organized
baseball there were hard times
abroad in the land and personally
we feel that baseball would get bet
ter support here 10 than then.
As we said, there are other cities
trying to land an organized club and
Wilmington might not be able to
meet the demands. But, as far as
we an see, it Wouldn't hurt to look
into the matter and see what's what.
We're sure that the Cincinnati Off
Gals will be glad to listen to any
proposition and our suggestion is
that some official body in this city
get in touch with them Immediately.

RALEIGH, Oct. 21.-R-N. c.
State, which has one of the trick
lest offenses ever seen here, may
get a taste of it's own medicine in
a game with Mississippi State in
Raleigh Saturday night.
After hearing reports of scouts,
coaches said tonight the Mississip-
pi State plays seemed to be al
most carbon copies of the plays
used by N. c.. State.
The Wolfpack third team scrim-
mayed against the freshmen today,
and the freshmen were supposed
to be using Mississippi State plays.

it was almost impossible to tell
which team was representing the
Wolfpack varsity, and which team
was representing the, invaders. l

SECOND SPOT
Vols Still Fifth In Nation;
Clemson Ranked 18th In
Poll; Aggies Fourth
BY BILL BONI

nell's football team, still riding
high as the country's No. l eleven
in the eyes Of the experts, was
challenged from a new quarter to-
day in the second Associated Press
ranking poll of the season.
Texas A. and NJ, top team a
year ago and runner-up last week,
gave way to Notre Dame as the
Irish, off their 61-0. Gilman romp
over Carnegie Tech, zoomed from
sixth place into second. While Cor
nell again hogged better than half
the first-place votes-83 out Of 1852
Elmer Layden's crew, possibly
one of the finest teams Notre
Dame has had, scored heavily in
the lower brackets to total 1852
points to the big Reds winning
lab.
If any further proof were needed
that Michigan against Penn at Ann
Arbor will be next Saturdays ma
jer attraction, the poll supplied it.
For the nations sports editors
placed both Of these al-winning
teams in the first ten, keeping
Michigan in third place on 10 first
place votes and 1,040 points and
moving Penn up a notch to eighth
with $50.
There was no change in the
makeup Of the top ten, but there
was considerable reshuffling. The
Texas Aggies went from second to
fourth, with 1,037 points; Tennessee
retained fifth place, on $50; Mime
sofa, winner over Washington, Ne
braska and Ohio State, climbed to
sixth with 817; Northwestern slid
from fourth to seventh, 592, and
Stanford, up from tenth to ninth
on $50 points, changed places with
Boston college, which got 1874.
Cornell should get its biggest
mid-season test this weekend, when
Ohio State, beaten twice but
hoped up to get revenge for
that 1899 trimming, comes to Itha-
ca. Notre Dame, meanwhile, will
tackle Illinois; Texas A. and M.
will play Baylor, which knocked
Villanova out Of the all-winning
ranks last Saturday; Tennessee
will play Florida; Minnesota faces
Iowa, which upset the Gophers a
year ago; Northwestern, which ap-
parently will have to get along
without Bill de Correvont, will meet
Indiana, and Stanford will face 4
major obstacle to its Coast confer
ence hopes in combating Southern
California.
Only Boston college, which ran
all over Idaho its last time out,
will have a comparatively easy as
signment. The Eagles play little
st. .Anselm's, which has proved
tough on occasion in the past, but
doesn't seem to have what it takes
to halt Frank Leahy's team this
year..

GAME SATURDAY
TO DRAW 10000
Devils Practice On Defense
For Wake Forest; Deacs
May Be At Top Strength

WAKE FOREST, Oct. 21.-R-
Quarterback Red Mayberry, who
hasn't seen action this year be-
cause of a broken arm suffered
early in September, took an active
part in practice today as Wake
Forest started preparations for a
game with Duke here Saturday
afternoon.
Mayberry looked hot in a pass
ing. drill against freshmen, but the
yearllngs, were instructed not to
tackle him. Deacon coaches said
Red would take part in heavy work
later in the week, and probably
would play against the Dukes.
Louis Trunzo, star tackle, missed
the workout today because of an
injured toe, but John Pendergast,
center who was carried off the
field during the Marshall game,
showed no i'll effects and partici.
pated in heavy work.
Barring injuries during the week,
the Deacons may be at full
strength for the Duke game, which
will be a contest between the only
teams which have not lost a Big
FTive contest.
Wake Forest athletic officials
said they expected a crowd of 90
600 to. be on hand for the game,
which also will mark the dedica-
ton of Groves stadium. All Is, 600
seats in the concrete, and 1000 of
the 5000 temporary bleachers
which will be erected, already
have been sold, they said.
DURHAM, Oct. 21.-R-Duke's
Blue Devils today started prepar-
ations for Saturdays important
Southern conference and Big Five
clash with the Demon Deacons of
Wake Forest by running through a
drill that found them on defense
against Deacon plays a part of
the time.
The freshmen ran Wake Forest
formations at the Blue Devils in
n part of the drill and it included
both passes and running plays.
Later the Blue Devil second team
staged a scrimmage with the third
outfit as the No. l boys looked on.
The second team made two touch
downs against the third stringers
but they had trouble gaining.
J In the defensive work it, was
guard trouble DIGGING the Blue
Devils again and Wake Forests
fullback plays went through the
Duke guards for long gains. Coach
Wallace Wade made several shifts
but couldn't find a combination
that would stop the Deacon attack.
