Limited Action In
Tilt

The undefeated New Hanover
High School Wildcats journey to
Goldsboro to meet the strong Earth
quake eleven tonight at 500 p. m.
The Cats will be out to chalk up
their third win Of the season after a
1872 tie with the Rocky Mount
Blackbirds in their last encounter.
Little is known of the 'Quakes ex-
cept that they are reported to have
a fine aerial attack on which they
base a great deal of their offense.
In a recent tilt they completed 20
out of 43 passes and gained consid-
cradle yardage through the air.
The locals suffered a blow when
their regular right end, Eugene
Ward, enlisted in the Navy. His
flank position will be filled by tow
ering Red Mayhan, who turned in
an outstanding performance in the
Rocky Mount game. The rest of
the squad is in fine condition and
received a great boost when Bill
Aud, rated one Of the best backs
in the conference, who has been
out with an injury, was declared
ready for action in the Goldsboro
affray. However, Coach Rupert
Bryan stated that Aud would be
used only sparingly in order to be
sure of his being completely ready
for the Raleigh game October %.
The New Hanover line, averaging
1879 pounds, will have it's regular

by their harddriving 100 pound full

should have an opportunity to
watch two good service teams in
action Sunday afternoon when the
Bluethenthal Block Busters of the

with the Wrightsville Coast Guard
in the first game of the season for
both teams.
Game time is at 2:30 P. M. Sum-
day at their base and the public
is invited to attend. There will be
no admission charge.
The only restriction on civilian
spectators is that they enter the
air base by the East gate, reach
ed by driving out Market street
road and turning left into the Old
Gordon road which leads directly
to the air base.
Both teams have been working
out for the past few weeks and
should be in top shape for the
game. The Blockbusters' practice
sessions this week have stressed
offense, punt and pass defense with
the emphasis always on the often

Toughest Card In Years
Slated For ITALIAN Hall

With everything in readiness for
one of the toughest mat cards
scheduled for Wilmington in sew
eral years, Fred Dunn and Chief
Thunderbird arrived in the city
late Thursday night.
Dunn is a newcomer to the city
but his reputation has preceded
him and he will enter the ring
tonight already an unpopular man
with the fans. He is well known
to one and all for his dirty tactics
and no one expects Chief Thunder
bird to pull the punches in order
to give him break.
Thunderbird is definitely the un-
derdog in the affair as the new
grappler deals them out from the
bottom of the deck and the big
Indian may not be able to cope
with the brand of meanness ex-
pected. At any rate, Promoter
Causey promises a bang-up fight.
The fans are cautioned not to
enter the ring if things fail to
suit them as adequate police pro-
lection has been provided.
In the opening bout, Al Massey
and Jimmy Coffield will renew an
old grudge battle which began
when Massey was refereeing with
Jimmy on the receiving end of
some bad decisions.
