~ RICHMOND, Va, Oct 9-If the
Southern Conference footballers
survive the rigors OF rougher war
time travel, they should show a bet
ter average in intersectional con-
tests this week end than last when
they lost four intersectional scraps,
won only one.
The top-interest North-South
games will pit North Carolina
against Fordham at New York. Will
liam and Mary against the Harvard
Crimson at Cambridge, Clemson
against Boston College at Boston
and Maryland against Rutgers at
Baltimore.
Carolina, which left for the Me-
tropolis last night with squad Of
IS. including three full teams, car
ried conference hopes because of
victories over Wake Forest and
South Carolina, but the Tar Heels
had been warned by their scouts
that they shouldn't be misled by
Fordhams beating at the hands of
lClA1SSSCC. 111CSC SlOIlS dUCu OllC
game a toss-up.
Coach Jim Tatum of the Tar
Heels said, Il feel pretty good about
our boys, but not about the trip or
game Our offense looked some bet
ter yesterday. but we haven't had
time for enough work and plays.
And the long. hard trip will go
against us, as it went against the
Rams last week"
Harlow's Surprises Figure.
William and Mary. launched on
its schedule with victories over
Hampden-Sydney, Navy and Vir-
ginia Tech, had some conference
backing to take Harvard on the
basis OF more power However, the
Crimson hackers admitted nothing
despite Harvard's losses to Penn and
the Chapel Hill Navy Pre-Flight
School. They noted that the mex
perienced Harvards could have ac-
quired considerable experience in
those two defeats, that Coach Dick
Harlow can be counted upon for
surprise tricks and that William and
Mary whipped Dartmouth last year
and Navy this year only narrowly
on field goals by Harvey johnson.
There was no attempt in these
quarters to load Maryland with the
favorites burden against Rutgers,
but Clark Shaughnessy was pleased
with the offensive and defensive
play of the first string in a hard
workout yesterday. Coach Harry
Rockefeller took Rutgers squad OF
SO to Baltimore today.
The Marylanders, using the T
formation, have trounced Connecti-
cut, $40. and Lakehurst Training
Station, 40.
VPI Prepared for Passes.
Passes are what Virginia Tech will
expect from Davidson at Blacksburg,
and the Techmen have tried to get
ready for them. The freshmen hurled
the ball at them yesterday from all
angles to conclude Techs prepara-
tions for the game. The Davidson
squad of 81 left this morning for
Blacksburg
The VMI camp said Sophomore
Dick De Shazo still was out of the
rough work yesterday and that Emil
Sotnyk probably would start at tall
back against Virginia Saturday at
Charlottesville. Frank Murray OF
Virginia experimented in an effort
to get more offensive drive in the
line by pulling in Leigh Rhett for a
try at first string tackle.
Other engagements of conference
teams this week end match the
Chapel Hill Navy crew with North
Carolina State. Washington and Lee
with Rollins, the Athens Pre-Flight
eleven and Duke, George Washing
ton with The Citadel, Furman with
Wake Forest. Richmond against
Randolph-Macon and South Caro-
lima with West Virginia,
Coach Eddie Cameron of the de-
Tending Blue Devils said, I'VE have
realized our line was the weak spot
In our offense. but the willingness of
the men in practice this week makes
us believe they are ready for the
task that faces them on Saturday
We may be outplayed in the line but
I don't believe we will be out
scrapped"
