monthly average since Nov. 1.

RECKLESS DRIVERS
FINED BY JUDGE OF
CRIMINAL COURT
CASES HEARD AT SESSION
THIS MORNING; EVANS.
CoLoRED. SENTENCED TO
SERVE SIX MONTHS

Fourth session of the current
Criminal Court term was held
today with Judge William V. AL
bury presiding and County
Solicitor Allan B. Cleare, Jr.,
Clerk c. Sam B. Curry and
Sheriff K. o. Thompson in at
tendance.
There were but two cases to
be heard-both of them cases of
reckless driving, one of which
happened in the city and the 9TH
er on the Overseas Highway.
The first case was that of
James Loss, who waived arraign-
ment, and entered a plea of mol
contendere. He was sentenced to
pay a fine of SIS and costs or
spend 80 days in the county Jail.
The same fine was imposed by
the judge on Russell 7. PancoaSt,
who was charged with the same
offense. He entered, through his
attorney, the same plea. The at
torney said that MIR. Pancoast
had some important plans with
him and exceeded the speed linn
it while getting them to Key
West on time.
The case of Tom Evans, color
ed, who was tried Eeeterday. aft
ernoon on a charge of aggravat-
ed assault, resulted in the jury
finding verdict of guilty on a
charge of assault and battery,
and he was sentenced to serve
six months in the county jail,
which is the limit.
Escaped Convict
In connection with thise case,
a telegram was received by the
sheriff from J. Edgar Hoover,
stating that Evans is an escaped
convict from the penitentiary at
Raleigh, N. c., and made his get
away shortly after Imprisonment.
Another telegram was received
from J. Winder Bryan, director
of the Bureau of Identification,
Penal Division, advising that
Evans fingerprints indicate that
he is James Spencer, wanted in
Raleigh as an escapee.
When this information was
conveyed to Evans and he was
informed of the contents of the
kilograms, he did not deny the
allegations and said that he
would not consent to extradi-
ton but let the authorities in
Raleigh make out the necessary
papers as he wanted to put them
to as much trouble as possible.

and may settle the No. | challenger
to Duke and Clemson, the long line
of duelS between individual stars
might we'll prove Of equal interest,"
The arch-rivals, who played the
first football game in North Carolina
and have been at it ever since, were
to take their last light drills today.
With the outcome generally regarded
as Il toss-up. interest ran high. and
"a near-capacity crowd seemed Ger
tain for tomorroW's crucial test.
The Individual stars, many Of
whom will be meeting for the last
time. include the No. | men, not m
the South but the whole nation, in
six different departments, and the
No. . man in another phase Of play.
John Polanski. Wake Forests 2O5-
pound line-splitter, led the whole
country last year in rushing, touch
downs and scoring. Red Mayberrv
also led in kickoff returns and rank
ed fourth in rushing, but the Mt.
Airy flier has been hurt al may
not play. And Tony Gallovich rank
cd No. in rushing.
Where Wake Forest set the pace on
the ground, Carolina eXcelled in the
air. Harry Dunkle led the country
in punting and eXtra-point CONVEX
sions. while Jim Lalanne had the
second best passing percentage.
In their one-Sided opening wins,
however, Wake Forests Polanski
Gallovich and Pruitt came up with
blitzkrieg by air as well as ground
while Cardinals Lalanne, O'Hare
Baker and other pony backs passed
less and ran more.
Both teams are expected to have
more diversified and stronger all
round attacks than last year, but the
big question with the fans is which
will outweigh the other-Wake For
estS new aerial attack or Caro-
linas new ground strength?
The Deacs and Tar Heels are both
veteran outfits and stack up about
even in veterans and bacllfielo
weight, but Wake has the edge in
the line, l97-l9l. The Baptsts were
more impressive all-roumd in thelr
