flow in opposite directions to the

Although the Germans still held
difficult heights east of the San
gro river between San Angelo and
Alfedena, the two wedges driven
to the stream by Montgomery
troops guaranteed that the enemy
soon would be forced back across
the sangro along list entire length.

COMPLETE
MOST SUCCESSFUL
SEASON IN YEARS
Contest Marks Last Grid
Encounter For Several
New Hanover Stars

It will be a Thanksgiving game
with Fourth of July fireworks
thrown in, when the high-geared
New Hanover Wildcats lock horns
with the clever Wilson Cyclones on
the American Legion Field tonight
at 800. Tonight's meeting will be
the second Of the season for the
two clubs, as they battled to 90
ii in previous encounter On the
Wilson field.
The clash will have nothing to
do with conference standings, as
both outfits have completed their
loop schedule. The Wildcats, who
defeated the strong Durham and
Fayetteville teams in their last
two league ARRAYS, gained the Sec
ond spot in the Eastern division.
This was the highest position in
which a Wildcat team has COM
pleted the season in the past Is
years.
Tonight's battle is expected to
he one of the most thrilling games
played on the Legion field, as both
clubs are evenly matched and pos
Sess an abundance of trick plays as
well as a powerful running game
and brilliant passing attack. The
T formation that the visitors will
fling at the Cats is a most decep-
tive and interesting style of play.
The Wildcat pigskin finale will
bring to close the illustrious grid
careers of six New Hanover lum-
..naries. Three stalWarts in the Cat
forward wall who will be DOMINIC
New Hanover uniforms for the last
time are Dick Watts, Jim Snow
and Red Holt. Watts, a 203 pound
On defense at his left
end position will be winding up his
three years of outstanding play at
New Hanover in which he was
rated one of the finest high school
flankmen in the state. Snow, a
highly aggressive Coach Dream"
at his guard slot, needs no mention
to local fans as a pigskin perform
er. His crashing, bruising type OF
play has won him wide recognition
as a top-flight linemen. Holt, I'll
pound redhead, has been one OF
the main pillars in the Wildcat
lire all season and is figured to
play a large part in the curling
of the vaunted Wilson running at
tack in tonight's game.
The New Hanover backfield,
which has presented one of the
most potent attacks of any Wildcat
team in some while, will lose
three of it's members by gradua-
ton. Fullback Piggy Dyches, the
1870 pound battering ram who has
scored 10 of the Wildcats six-point-
ELS this season, will smash his last
line, as Wildcat player,
in tonight's tiff. An all-round cap
able performer, Dyches has been
one of the main cogs in the Cat
grid machine all year. Another
brilliant back who will be partlcl-
pating in his game for the Wild
cats is Bill Aud. This versatile
who seems to do ev-
well has been hampered
all season by serious knee injury.
Even though this ailment has con-
fined his use to that of spot roles,
Aud has proved the spark of the
attack with his deadly
passing. The last of the Hanover
gridders saying goodbye to high
school football is Blocking Bill Nc
Twain. There's little to say con-
corning this lad except that as his
position implies, he blocks.

Laurinburg High, which battles

will be risking one of the proudest

The flashy eleven from Scotland

straight conference games from

Reidsville's Golden Lions, who
downed Gray 27-13 for western

A drill exhibited by the first
