Could Be Done
And then if you re still able to
walk and can talk above a whisper
ycu could hustle over to Raleigh in
time for the N. C. State-Mississippi
State game that starts at 8 o'clock.
yOf course, that's a lot of football
IN one day. But then if you like your
football in big doses you couldn't find
q better weekend for it. And, mind
yea, we're not suggesting it, but
merely saying what could be done.
Still Plenty Room
;iCame a wire last night from Wal.
t4r Holton, sports publicity director
ak Wake Forest, that there's plenty
ipom left for the game between the
Deacons and Duke today.
I There will be 5000 tickets for the
1ate sale today and standing room
will be available if necessary, h Essays.
Odds And Ends
{ Last year Erwin High school went
IA for six-man football heavy and
won the state championship in the
aame However, this year the
boys decided they'd rather play the
regulation 11-man variety and so
they did . 1t would be a good idea
for Coach Relmon Robinson to line
Up a few games without-of-town 'op-
ponents for his six-man gridders {.
In our opinion, six-man football is
On the go in this state and we
wouldn't be surprised to see a num-
Der OF rural high school start the
same next year There's a report
going around that the FBI plans to
Investigate the football gambling
racket -. Some fellows who have
tried the system say it's harder to
beat than a one-armed bandit -.
The passing rash that broke out with
d flourish in the Southwest a few
years back had its origin in the
South back about the turn of the
century, so records show The
forward pass was first legalized in
1906 49,. Which reminds US that the
New Hanover Wildcats have gained
4he reputation over the state of be-
ing tough as high school teams go
put mighty weak on pass defense
s.. This is going to be a tough game
today for Carolina, but we're still
riding with the Tar Heels over the
Green Wave.

CORNELL PICKED
TO WIN BY B0NI
Duke To Beat Wake Forest
And Carolina Over Tulane
Among Weekend Picks

BY BILL EONJ

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 25-P-
In such a steamed-up seat of high
er education as this is on the eve
of the Cornell-Ohio State game,
it's a bit difficult to peer around
the Hello, Ohio" and II Yell Cor
nell' banners and realize that 9TH
er football teams will be settling
their differences elsewhere tomor-
row afternoon.
Undoubtedly they will, however.
Even here there have been rumors
of battles such as those sending
unbeaten-untied Michigan against
unbeaten-untied Pennsylvania Cor
is it Tommy Harmon against
Frank Reagan and Stanford and
it's new : found Rose : bowl hopes
against Southern California.
These two games should DOM
mate the days proceedings from
an attendance standpoint. Some
60, 900 customers are expected to
jam their way into Michigan's
saucer, while at Palo Alto, Calf,
they are counting on another crowd
of 60, 1000 to watch Clark Shaugh-
messy deploy his hipper-dipper In
dams against Howard Jones' Tro-
jams.
Here at Ithaca the prospect of
seeing Ohio State try to gain re-
venge for last years defeat has
had Schoellkopf field sold out for
a month. That means only 33,4O0
customers at best-but that com.
paratively small figure already is
5000 more than they ever had.
However, the business at hand
is to 60 down the line naming this
corners selections. Here we go
probable attendances in parenthe-
sis, home teams named first):
Michigan-Penn so, 000) - Since
there appears little to choose in
the Harmon-Reagan individual bat
tie, the supporting casts become
important. On that basis, this vote
goes to Michigan.
Stanford Southern California
ESQ, 000). By now Stanford has
won too many games for it to be
regarded as a fluke. This is the
mid-season climax. Figuring it will
be primed, Stanford.
Cornell Ohio State (33, 400)-The
Buckeyes have a stout pass de-
tense and possibly the toughest
line Cornell has faced but Cornell
can move the ball in every way
except possibly under water, and
there appears no logical reason to
desert them now. Cornell, in what
may be a free-scoring jamboree.
Texas A. & M. : Baylor (21, 900,
Aggies keep rolling.
Tennessee = Florida Q5, 5000
Ditto Tennessee.
Minnesota-Iowa ga, 000) - With
out throwing a single pass, the
Gophers were inside the Ohio State
20 seven times last week. Sounds
sufficient. Minnesota.

RALEIGH WINS OVER CATS, 6*T0
TOUCHDOWN MADE
in FIRST PERIOD
Wilmington Advances Twice
Within Scoring Distance In
Last Quarter But Fails
BY GLENWARD BLOMME

Raleigh's Purple Hurricane put
on a display of power hat netted
a first quarter touchdown to de-
feat a battling N Hanover Wild
cat outfit, 6 to 0, in an Eastern
Class A conference game at Le-
gion stadium last night.
The Cats completely outplayed
the visitors during the second half
and had the ball on the Raleigh
eight-yard line when the final
whistle came.
During the first period the Wis
itors resorted to a power attack
which swept the Wildcats before
it, but in the final half the Hurri-
cane changed over to an aerial
game which the Wildcats more
than matched and the former just
got enough breaks to stave off a
probable defeat or tie.
The Hurricane started its touch
down march on their own 26-yard
line after receiving the deep boot
of Bobby Edwards. Senter 6 OF
nine on a reverse and then added
two more on a smash through the
guard. Allen on thre~ slashSs
through tackle and around the end
marked up a total of 10 yards.
Holmes came around from end to
carry the ball for five more yards
and a first down. Allen added six
and Senter followed with seven
and a first down. Allen grabbed
three to the five-yard line and
New Hanover was penalized half
the distance to the goal for off
sides. The local line piled Allen
up on the one-foot line, but on the
next play the little hurricane quar-
ter smashed the center for the
score. Senter's placeme1 : try was
wide and the scoring was over for
the night.
The Hurricane continued to out
play the Cats for the rest of the
first half, but in the second half
the scene changed considerably.
Fling the air with passes thrown
by Jennings Edwards and Horton
with Bobby Edwards on the re-
ceiving end, the Wildcats made a
thrust to the Raleigh SO at the end
Of the third period and in the
fourth session with a Is yard pass
from j. Edwards to Bobby Ed
wards featuring, the locals car
ried to the visitors four-foot line,
but failed to push over. Holt re-
covered a Raleigh tumble on the
Raleigh 10 and the locals started
their final drive which fell short
as Jennings Edwards pass was
broken up in the end zone. II
Bobby Edwards was the out
standing offensive man for the
Wildcats with Jennings Edwards,
Horton and Pittman adding their
support. Fred Day led the line
play with Red Slaughter.
The Wildcats made 8 first downs
to 10 for the Hurricane and COM
6 passes out of IA attempt
ed. Raleigh completed 5 of 8 pass
es.
The RCTC Battalion held its Sec
ond annual dress parade during
the intermission and the Cadets re-
ceived a big hand from the large
crowd of loyal fans who were on
hand for the game. The sponsors
of the battalion and the companies
were presented with beautiful cor
sages by the company command
ers.

A. F. l.-C. |. 0. Dispute
Stops Project

About SO A. F.. L. construction
workers walked off an elevator in
stallation project in the State, War
and Navy Building today in protest
OF a subcontractor's employment OF
five c. I. o. men on the brick work
part of the project.
The subcontractor, Sam Merando,
said he had asked the A. F.. l.. to
furnish the brickworkers, but that
the Federation had refused on the
ground that Merando employs C. I.
0. men on other construction prof.
ects in the city.
A. F. l.. officials said, however,
that the principle of a closed shop
on the complete installation project
was the issue at stake. They pointed
out that Frank Davis, contractor
who sublet the brick work to Mr..
Merando, used A. F. L. workers on
all other parts of the job.
Those participating in the walkout
included steamfltters, iron workers,
carpenters, electricians, plumbers
and laborers.
In commenting on the walkout
Mr.. Davis said that his agreement
with Mr.. Merando called for employ
ment of union labor" and that in
earlier stages of the work Mr.. Mer-
ando had used A. F. L. men.
Mr.. Merando asserted that he for
nerly used only A. F. L. construc-
ton workers, but had shifted to use
of c. I. o. workers about two months
ago. He described the walkout as
IAN A. F. L. attempt to put the
squeeze on me for using c. I. O
men on other jobs-I asked the A
F. L. to give me brickworkers fol
the State Department job, but they
refused. There was nothing else for
me to do but put on C. I. o. workers.
There was no disruption of elevator
service in the building because OF
the walkout. Some of the elevator
shafts have been closed for some
time for the installation project.
H. r. Caldwell of the Cancellation
service of the Labor Department
was asked to aid in attempting tc
settle the dispute.

Scott Circle
Underpass Fund
This Year Urged
Senute Committee
Told of Need to
Restore Project
BY J. A. O'LEARY.


Restoration of the Scott Circle
underpass project to the 1941 Dis
trict appropriation bill was urged by
Arthur j. Sundlun. spokesman for
the Keystone Automobile Club of
Washington, as Senate hearings on
the measure continued today.
The Keystone Club also indorsed
additional amounts allowed by the
House for snow removal and for
maintenance of traffic lights.
Mr.. Sundlun said his organization
was one of the first to advocate
underpasses at Dupont, Scott and
Thomas Circles.
Simultaneous Project Urged.
I'VE favored construction of the
Dupont Circle underpass ahead of
the others, and we have always felt
that it was mistake to authorize
the construction of the underpass
at Thomas Circle without simul-
taneously authorizing the Scott
Circle underpass, because these, we
feel, should have been treated as a
single project" the witness said.
THE tremendous traffic congestion
which has developed at Scott Circle,
particularly during the evening
rush hours, has seemed to support
our view in this respect"
The subcommittee attention was
called to the fact it would not in
crease the total of the House bill
to restore the Scott Circle authori-
Zation, since the District expects
to have it built out of funds already
available as Federal-aid highway.
Better School Lights Urged.
Funds to remedy poor lighting
facilities in some school buildings
were requested by Mrs. Leslie B.
Wright, who said a survey showed
% buildings in need of better light
Ing. Speaking for the Forest Hills
citizens, Mrs. Wright also recon-
mended provision for an assistant
principal at Woodrow Wilson High
School.
Purchase of a school site in the
American University Park section
was urged by Henry L. Coleman,
representing the American Univer-
sity Park citizens and the Northwest
Citizens Council.
H. J. Clay of the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association told of
the need for 10-room addition to
the Taft Junior High School and
requested for the Langdon Park a
field house, improved lighting and
police protection.
New Junior High Advocated.

Citizens Association and the Ana
costa High School Parent-Teacher
Association, j. l.. Goldman asked the
Senate to retain a House item for a

Compulsory Sa|uting
Of Flag Is Argued
Before High Court
Violation Of Religious
Freedom Is Charged;
Defended as Education
BY the Associated Press.

Requiring school children to salute
the American flag was denounced
as violation of religious freedom
and defended as education in
patriotism in arguments before the
Supreme Court yesterday.
The question at issue was the
constitutionality of a Minersville
Pa) School Board regulation re-
quiring the salute. The regulation
was challenged by two children
who were expelled for failure to
comply with it.
Joseph F. Rutherford, attorney
for the children, argued that they
believed saluting the flag consti-
tuted 'idolatry" and "bowing down
to craven image" and that they
would be destroyed" if they did So.
Joseph w. Henderson, counsel for
the school board, asserted that the
salute was a patriotic" ceremony
and had nothing whatsoever to do
with a persons religious feelings" "
The contention of the children
also was supported by George K.
Gardner, Harvard law professor,
who appeared for the American
Civil Liberties Union as friend
of the court"
Chief Justice Hughes, after ex-
planning that the flag symbolizes the
United States system of Government,
asked Mr.. Gardner if a State or
school district did not have the right
to require flag saluting in order to
encourage children" to understand
American institutions.
Mr.. Gardner replied that the
question of what promotes loyalty
is a question about which there are
no experts"
