Punting And Placement Kick.
ing Also Practiced In
Drills For Engineers

DURHAM, Oct. 29. -R- Duke
~university's football practice + r
Georgia Tech here Saturday after
noon consisted of a thorough drill
on the practice field and In Dukes
stadium. Coach Wallace Wade put
the squad through offensive and de-
fensive drills and finished up with
a punting and placement kicking
drill in the stadium.
Always a dangerous team, Tech is
feared by the Duke coaches. Last
year Duke won Z to g., the year be-
fore Z to O.. and the previous year,
20 to 10.
Today's Duke No. 1 club had Pia-
secky and Darnell, ends; Ruffa and
McDonough, tackles; Winterson and
Karmazin, guards; Barnett, center,
and Prothro, McAfee, Davis and
Lach in the backfield.
Various combinations were used
throughout the afternoon as Duke
went over its own offense and then
tried to stop the mystifying attack
of Georgia Tech.

Church School Cagers
Make Plans For Season

Sunday school basketball repre-

last night to further plans f r
opening their Sunday School
leagues.
The Friday night loop reached
its capacity with the addition of

CHAPEL HILL, Oct. 29.-4R-
Following a light Monday the Tar
Heels resumed heavy work today
for Fordham.
Coach Ray Wolf stuck to the
veteran combination, but Carl Sum
theimer was still held out of rough
work, and Bob Smith took ove
center.
The squad concentrated on re-
vising it's defenses to meet the
Rams speedy running and light

recting the aerial drill for backs
and Johnny Vaught the charging
drill for linemen.
Joe Austin, sophomore conner,
alternated with Splinter Don Baker

duty with Jim Lalanne, but other
wise the lineup r e m q i n ed I'm
changed. Arrangements were COM
pleted today for Cardinals 100

to accompany the team Saturday,
and indications were that several

Coach Dick Jamerson, who has

Len Eshmont.
Roy Connor, Paul SEVERN, and

RALEIGH, Oct. 20. Coach
Williams (Doc) Newton put the N.
C. State Wolfpack through a long
workout which continued until after
dark today, and he indicated another
lengthy session would be on the pro-
gram tomorrow, as the Country
boys" prepared to meet Furman here
Saturday.
Five Wolves - Pat Fehley, Earl
Stewart and Bob Cathey, backs, and
Marion Stilwell and Frank Owens,
ends watched from the sidelines
because of occurrences of old in
juries.
Whether they will be able to play
Saturday remained a question. 1t
was indicated Owens was definitely
out of the game and would be re-
placed by Jardine Gibson, converted
blocking back.
Newton reported that the fresh
men, running Furman plays, made
the varsity look bad" today. More
work on defense was indicated for

KITTENS PRACTICE
FOR FRIDAY GAME
Coach Bumgarner Sends
Squad Of 80 Through PAGES
For Tilt With ChadbOurn

Coach Floyd Bumgarner had his
freshmen running hard yesterday
afternoon on ROTC field as he pre-
pared for the Friday afternoon
game with Chadbourn High school
on Legion field at $3.50 o'clock.
The Frosh have played two games
so far this season and have dropped
both bills, but the contest with
Chadbourn last week was lost on a
costly tumble after the locals had
driven a long way to the Chadbourn
one foot line. The Chadbourn lads
came back with the aid of rain and
the breaks to defeat the Kittens Z
to O.
Coach Bumgarner has pointed out
the weaknesses which showed in the
game and the locals are all ready
to hit the victory trail Friday after
noon. The players are in fine shape.
Coach Bumgarner has, kept his
squad of more than 80 boys intact
since the practice season started and
when they go out for the varsity
next season they will be experienced
and ready to fill the gaps in the
Wildcat line, left by graduation.
After this game the Kittens will
go to Tabor City for a return game
next week while the varsity is at
home to the Wilson 'Coons of the
Eastern conference.
The Wildcats will hit the trail
for New Bern and a non-confer-

siX-man football team defeated Win
ter Park 10 to 0 in a game played
yesterday afternoon on Robert
Strange field.
The winners scored all their points
in the first half before the Parkers
settled down to play some offensive
football of their own. Less than
four minutes after the game opened
the sharpshooting Marshburn had
flipped a bullet pass to Dixon for 10
yards and another to Long for the
remaining six yards to the goal for
a touchdown. Potter skirted the end
for the extra point.
Later in the same period Marsh
burn shot another six yard pass to
Dixon placing the ball on the Winter
Park ~, from which point the Tiles
ton ace threw another pass to. Long
for a touchdown. The extra point
try failed.
In the second stanza Marshburn
dropped way back and sent a long
31-yard aerial to Long to place the
ball on the 10. On the next play
Marshburn again faded and dropped
a forward toss into the arms Of
Long fo- 10 yards and the fina!
score of the game.

CLEMSON RATED 10TH IN NATION
CORNELL IS STILL

Irish, Michigan, Minnesota
Fight For Top In Poll; Duke
In Second Division

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-RE
II was the East against the Middle

a hundred-point edge over Michi-

over fourth-place Minnesota, with
1,044.
The Gophers have the best
chance to better their standing or

While Cornell is meeting Colum-

Minnesota will tangle with North

High And Low
Snavely. the Crimson says, took
both the high road and the low
road to bring in football players
of talent and in the Ivy league
such tactics are frowned upon with
as much vehemence as officials
IAN muster.
The Cornell coach isn't saying
anything, and after all what is
there for him to say. Snavely be-
| ieves in winning and followers OF
Carolina football know how he
went at it
Maybe he didn't ride the high
ways and byways and preach the
gospel of gridironery as played at
Cornell. But a bargain is hard to
resist and maybe, after all, Snave-
ly figured that the best things in
football, as in life, are not free.
Collapse of a Bubble

opened and shortly after they had
beaten Carolina 1870, the Deacons
OF Wake Forest were being
doomed as North Cardinals team
of the year. Before the Carolina
game they we're the dark horses
of the Southern conference d
after that victory the team burst
into full flower ranking.
Then came the bursting of the
bubble-a $50 defeat at the hands
of Clemson. And Wake Forest was
again back in the depths where
she was last year. Dukes $50 vic
tory over the Demon Deacons Sat-
urday clinched the case against
the Walker charges.
Wake Forest has a good team,
hut not a great team, according
to the records.

RALEIGH, Oct. 29.-R-Today's
biggest eff" concerns the blocked
punt, and, specifically, whether
North Carolina teams would have a
different rating if a few punts hadn't
been blocked this year.
Take last Saturday, for instance.
North Carolina was leading Tulane
1877, with minute and So seconds
left to play, and had the hall in
Tulane territory. The stadium aisles
were full of people who thought the
game was in the bag. The lads in
the press box were all set to bat out
a lead about how sweet Jim Lalanne,
the Louisiana Lallapaloosa, the boy
from the Bayous, the kid who made
a song famous, had done it again
to his Tulane home-folks.
Then a third-string Tulane quar-
terback named Tom Glass, who had
spent most of the afternoon or the
bench, came cutting through Caro-
lina's line ad blocked a punt by
Harry Dunkle. Al Bodney picked
up the ball on Cardinals As and
raced untouched to the end zone.
The final score was Tulane IA, Caro-
lima 10.
If that kick hadn't been blocked,
Tulane still might have won - a
Carolina tumble, a long pass, a bril-
liant punt return. But if the kick
hadn't been blocked the ball game
would have been a different one,
and the odds are that the final score
would have been different from the
score which went into the record
book.
In the Duke-Wake Forest game,
the Blue Devils were leading 80 in
the third quarter, when Tommy
Prothro blocked a punt by Red May
berry and ran 10 yards to score.
The probability is that Duke would
have won the game by a one-slded
margin, even without the blocked
punt. But again the ball shme
would have been a different one, and
the score might have been closer
than the 23-O count which went into
the records.
N, C. State was leading, 80, in,
the second quarter of it's game Sat-
urday night with Mississippi State.
Then Gladney White of Mississippi
blocked Jim Barber's kick, and the
ball was covered in the end zone
by Granville Harrison of Mississippi
state. State regained the lead, but
lost it again, and finally dropped
the game, 26-10.
The Mississippians showed so
much power in the second half that
most spectators ERE convinced the
blocked kick wasn't the margin of
victory, by any a
But the psychology of football is
a peculiar thing, and there's no tell
ing what might have happened to
Mississippi States morale if the
Wolfpack had piled up a 100 lead
in the first half.
Going back to October IL, we find
that a blocked kick started Glenn
sons $50 scoring parade through
wake Forest. Joe Blalock Of Glenn
son did the blocking, knitting through
to bust up a quick kick by J. ".
Pr,,itt. The ball was covered on
Wake Forests 20, and Clemson
scored on the next play.

the preceding week, End Mike
Balitsaris of the Vols blocked a kick
