Mississippi Fullback Draws
Praise From Top Coaches
As Among The Best

OXFORD, Miss, Nov. 14.--R-
Should selection of an All-America
team be decided in court, on the
strength of documentary evidence
and testimony of expert witnesses,
Merle Hapes would be willing ia
submit his petition before the
toughest jury in the land.
Superlatives have fallen like con.
fetti about the 190-pound Californi-
an playing fullback for the Univer'
sity Of Mississippi.
In eight games he has carried
the mail SO times for a net $50
yards, an average of six and two
thirds yards per try-and he's a
fullback! He has passed IS times
for seven competitions and three
touchdowns, and his punting aver.
age is 45.8. He is leading the South
ern conference in scoring.
Merle obviously isn't the kind
of a fullback that nudges a yard
here and there as needed, although
he does that too. His scoring runs
have included jaunts of IS, 70 and
Sc yards, and several times he's
picked up 80 to IS at a gallop to
aid a touchdown drive.
AS Coach Wally Butts Of Georgia
described him and his manner o.
play: Finest tailback in the South
Only he's playing fullhack
1.-The best back I've seen ir
many a year." was the comment
of Louisiana States Bernie Moore
He's the gentleman wao S a n /

The best back I have
SEEM" approved Joe sheeketski Of
Holy Cross, who played with Notre
Dame in the days of Schwartz ane
Savoldi.
Buff Donelli of Duquesne credit
ed a pass by Hapes with turning
the tide against his club and bring
ing its first defeat in two seasons
'That seemed to be the lift Mi
sissippi needed" he said. "F o
Hapes began running through u:
as though we weren't there"
Frank Thomas, whose Alabama
team doesn't play Ole Miss bu
who saw Hapes perform. assert
ed, He's truly a great back. Go
everything"
Merle's own coaches won't pub
licly go out on the limb for him
but their sentiments are known t.
be heartily in accord.
And Hapes, with another triple
threaten, little Junior Hovious, whe
is second in conference scoring
will be back next year. 4

RALEIGH, Nov. IA Up The
most reliable sources available
here are predicting that Duke will
beat North Carolina on Saturday
by more than one touchdown, and
that ideal football weather will
prevail for the game at Chapel
Hill.
Authorities for the Duke victory
are four gentlemen who make a
living-or try toby making foot
ball books. In their parlay sheets
(pick three winners and get paid
four to one; pick four winners and
get paid 8 to y the gamblers list
the Blue Devils as the favorltes.
One bookie lists the Blue Devils
as eight points stronger than the
Tar Heels; three list the Devils
as 10 points stronger.
But, for several weeks now. It's
been apparent that the Dukes
would be favored. The biggest
gamble, in so far as the more
than 10000 persons who have
bought tickets to the game are
concerned, has been the sort of
weather which will prevail.
The authority for the weather is

Bears To Face Redskins
In Crucial Tilt Sunday

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA Up -
The Chicago Bears must face two
teams when they meet the Wash
ington Redskins Sunday for what
may be the prelude to the world
series of professional football.
The Bears play the Redskins
a pretty good team-and also must
play Slingin' Sammy Baugh, who
is practically a whole team in him
self.
Enjoying the greatest year of his
professional career, Baugh is ra-
pidly breaking season records in
competitions of passes, yards
gained on passes and in passing
efficiency.
He has thrown the ball 40 times,
and his heaves have found a re-
ceiver 81 times, which means he's
going at a $50 clip. His nearest
rival in pass efficiency is Eddie
Miller, of the New York Giants,
with 1872. 4

FAIR, cold DAY
SEEN FOR GAME
Carolina Field Covered; Devils

Back In Lineup

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 14-LR-
Stalking their speed and scrap
against Dukes favored weight and
power, the Carolina gridders,
working indoors again today, pol
ished up their best plays, set their
defenses, and-prayed for the fair
day which the weather forecasters
have promised for Saturday.
Cardinals big field cover was al
ready 1>rvn, however, and had
been since Tuesday, and a dry
turf an|. new record crowd here
was expected. A..
Students announced plans today
for a big torchlight parade at Z
o'clock tomorrow night, followed
by a pep rally on Emerson field
at 8, which will have Head Coach
Ray Wolf and Andy Bershak as
speakers and which will be broad
cast over stations WDNC and
WPTF.
Jim Lalanne, Paul SEVERN, Carl
Suntheimer, and the other Grip
pies were in some better shape
today for the weeks forced light
work. The varsity ran intact ex-
cept that Bill Faircloth replaced
the injured Marshall, Bob Whit
ten moved up over Gwynn Novel;,
and Bob Smith alternated with
Suntheimer. .....
Moving from the Tin Can to
Woollen gymnasium, the linemen
took over the wrestlers' room for
some needed blocking and charg.
ing on the mats. The backs and
ends took the basketball floor for
some equally needed work against
Dukes dangerous long passes. And
the two groups united at their last
long drill in a brief polishing ses.
sion on their own and Dukes
plays.
Sophomore Joe Austin stood out
in the first backfeld with Lalanne,
Harry Dunkle, and Sid Sadoff in
breaking up Duke passes. How
ever, Splinter Don Baker, who
impersonated the speedy Wart-
man and rugged Lach at wing
back, still snagged several heaves
from Johnny Pecora alias Yves
McAfee, and the Tar Heels were
warned to watch these three boys
every second Saturday.
Frank O'Hare, who pinch-hit for
Lalanne against Richmond with
an excellent all-round performance,
Dave Barksdale, Roy Conner, and
Mike Cooke made up the second
backfeld charge Coach Ray Wolf

GALLAGHER NAMED
CUBS EXECUTIVE
Chicago Newsman Given Post
Of General Manager As
Club Is Reorganized

CHICAGO, Nov. 14-R- The
Chicago Cubs, continuing a ere
arrangement" of executive person
mel which began with the dismissal
of Team Manager Gabby Hartnett,
named a Chicago newspaperman
general manager of the club to-
day.
The post, a new one for the club,
will be filled by James T. Gala
CHER, IS year old baseball writer
OF the Chicago Herald-American,
who on many occasions was ex-
tremely critical toward the Ma
tional league team, particularly
during the two and one-haf years
it was under the direction of Hart
nett.
Gallagher, a baseball writer who
Travelled regularly with the Cubs
for seven years, said the principal
aim of his office would be to
eliminate the confusion w h i c h
seems to have marked Cub execu-
tive matters and to improve the
teams relations with the public"

lager to succeed Hartnett before
the minor league meetings early
in December" said Gallagher, a
native of Lorain, O. Running the
team on the field will be the team
managers job, and his alone. With
several promising young players
coming up I think the club has
possibilities. So far as Dizzy Dean
is concerned, I favor taking him
to camp and determining once and
for all whether he can pitch major
league ball.
Meanwhile, the Hot-Stove-league
|rumor kettle boiled merrily over
the flame of speculation ona suc-
cessor to Hartnett. While the club
president, P. X. Wrigley, said he
had interviewed no one, the name
of Bill Meyer continued to lead the
list Meyer, who is expected to
retire as manager of the American
Association Kansas City club. said
today:
"T'd be glad to take the Cub job
if an offer is made. It looks like
a very good proposition and it
seems to me the team could be
built up easily"
Jimmie Wilson of the Cincinnati
Reds, former Philadelphia Phillies
manager who has been mentioned
as another possibility, said he
would not bid for the post but
would certainly give the matter
deep consideration if I were ap-
preached" 4

Fleming said a membership Of

each school would play a closed
schedule of eight games-four

as well as football. 3
