FIGHT ON HAND

RALEIGH, Oct. 24.-The victory
hungry Raleigh Capitals, winners
of only two games of six played
this season, ride into Wilmington
Friday facing a situation that has
never before stared at a Gregson-
coached team here.
If Wilmington's Wildcats, noted
for fight and surprises, defeat the
local high Friday night in Whining
tons Legion Stadium, the Capitals
stand an excellent chance of end
ing the season in the fifth, and
last, spot in Eastern Class A Con-
ference standings.
This years crop of Capitals just
isn't what it used to be. The young
and inexperienced boys Coach Ray
Gregson has on hand lack some
thing called "oomph" a n d. lack
also the assurance that goes hand
il hand with victory.
Wilson, the passingest high
school team in North Carolina,
topped the Caps. 40, in their first
conference game. Then come
meetings with Durham and Rocky
Mount. Gregson gives his boys
little chance against tn latter
teams, both fighting for the title.
Mind you, this isn't a cut and
dried prediction that Raleigh will
bow Friday night. It's merely a
presentation of the situation, a
very new situation, that faces the
locals. Dire indeed it is for a
team that usually is in the thick of
battling for all league crowns. /

Isaac Bear Six Wins
Over Winter Park, 1876

The Isaac Bear siX-man football
team took u%ndisputed possession of
second place in the Junior High
school football league yesterday af-
ternoon as they fought a sluggish
Winter Park team to a standstill to
win 13 to G on Robert Strange field.
The Bears used almost their entire
reserve strength in downing the
Parkers and when the game ended
were deep in enemy territory head
ed for another touchdown.
The two teams battled on even
terms for the first period but Coach
Leo Burks, Of the Bears, sent in
his ace passer, Weddell Harris, n
the little halfback shot a bullet pass
over center to Hobson Bennett in
the end zone for the first touchdown.
Batten crashed the center for the
extra point.
In the third period the Parkers
gathered in their only score with
Howell circling end for 10 yards and
a score, but the try for extra point
failed.

BY A

RALEIGH, Oct. "a R - The
bookies here think that the North
Carolina Tulane game is a toss-up,
that Duke will beat Wake Forest,
and that Mississippi State will beat
N. c. State.
All this is cut and dried, but we
advise you to brush up on your
higher mathematics before at
tempting to dope out the system
of odds and point-spotting which
the gamblers have cooked up for
the games this weekend at Chapel
Hill, Wake Forest, and Raleigh.
In other words, unless you go
through the books on the theory of
probability, our theory is that
there's a probability the bookies
will 60 through you. In fact, they
probably will anyway.
Here's the situation:
Four bookies rank Carolina and
Tulane exactly even on the parlay
offerings. But one gambler will pay
seven to one if you bet him that
the game will be a tie, and another
will take either team if you spot
him three points.
In the parlay offerings, two book

Five game with Duke here Saturday

Frank kapriva, suffering from a
sore shoulder, may not start against
the Dukes but will play at least a

Three substitute backs-Pete Hor-

Grygo Sparks Cardinals Two
Sensational Runs That Net
Gamecocks Only Scores
BY DUNCAN

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 24.-RC
The potent Clemson Tigers con-
ouered the South Carolina Game
cocks today in the 37th renewal OF
their ~colorful gridiron rivalry but
they came out ahead by 21-13 only
after a bitter, gruelling struggle
that thrilled a capacity crowd of
%, 900 to the marrow.
Fighting courageously against
odds, the Gamecocks refused to
yield and came back after they
were far behind to furnish the Of
fensive fireworks on two lightning
scoring plays.
Flashing their power and finesse
as soon as they got the ball, the
Tigers marched IS yards on
smashing reversed and two smart
ly executed passes to score five
minutes after the opening whistle.
George Floyd went the final five
yards around left end after taking
a YER from Charlie Timmons
who converted the extra point from
placement.
All-Southern conference end Joe
Blalock went over for the second
Clemson touchdown in the second
period after a desperate Game
cock pass by Dewitt Arrowsmith
in his own end zone was intercept
ed by Charlie Wright and returned
to the 5. Blalock raced over four
plays later from the seven-yard
line on his favorite end : around

the goal to make the score Glenn

fun began.
Two minutes after the second
half kickoff, Booty Payne. star
Clemson sophomore, punted 40
yards to Arrowsmith on the Caro-
lima 25. The Gamecock fulloack
reversed the ball to Al Grygo, who
dashed like a streak to the east
sideline after two blockers cleared
out the Clemson put coverers. The
fast-stepping Gamecock flash
Rugged the sideline, and scored
with ease. The sensational play,
good for rs yards, set the stands
wild.
The undaunted Tigers struck
back a short time later for their
third touchdown after Wright in
tercepted another pass at the 46
and lateralled to Payne, who sped
to the IS before he was brought to
earth. Chippy Names, the Glenn
SON tailback, raced for eight yards
and, after the Carolina line threw
back Timmons, he went over in
two more tries. Timmons again
kicked the extra point.
The Tigers were wearing the
Gamecocks down gradually a d
seemed headed for another cor
in the final quarter but the light
ming struck again. After getting
as far as the Carolina five, the
Tigers were set back by a clipping
penalty and a tumble. Payne faded
to the IS to pass but the ball hardly
left his hand before big Alex Ur-
ban, Carolina left end, charged in
and snatched it from the air and
ran unmolested to the goal. Ar

In every home there is some one
