Center fielder Check of the
Coast Guards slammed the first
pitch of the ninth inning for long

times in the ninth to win the third

NORTH CAROLINA
GAME SEASON TO
OPEN OCTOBER |
State Abounds In Ducks,
Rabbit, Geese And
Other Animals

RALEIGH, Sept. 29.-lR-Its
time to get that oldshootin' iron
oiled up, podner. cause come Fri
day October y the open seasons
begin to open and it'll be time to
go gunnin' for that meat you'd
like to have on the table,
And this year there's more game
than ever, the State Department
of Conservation and Development
reports.
Squirrels galors are cavorting
in the woods. If it's bar you and
pa want to shoot, they're lumber
ing around in increased numbers.
More rabbits are hopping, scads
of ducks and geese flying, and,
brother, if it's quail you like, old
Nell won't have as much trouble
as usual flushing 'em, because
they're everywhere there's good
brushpile.
AL this has come about, the
department says, because SO many
hunters are in the service, be-
cause shells have been scarce, as
mas gasoline to get to your favor
lite hunting ground, and because
quail, ducks and geese have had
an especially good breeding sea-
son.
Officials scott at the idea that
good hunting lands have been
lost to the armed forces reser-
vations. They say that half Of the
Holly Shelter area has been taken
over, but the Army's permitting
one weeks hunting there this year
and that's all there would've
been anyway.
The Sand Hills area Is in Uncle
Sans hands-but there has been
no hunting allowed there for sew
eral years anyhow.
The coastal areas are under mi
1ltary jurisdiction, but permission
can be gotten to hunt there.
Speaking of Uncle Sans forces,
service men have been given q
break if they're stationed in the
state. They've been placed on re-
sident status In other words, if
he has the time and the trimin's
and wants to do little Dan'l
Boone-ing, it'll cost soldier Sill
for a county hunting license, or
S2.1O for a state permit, instead
of having to fork over Sl5.25 for
a nonresident license.
Back to Mr.. Average Hunter,
though.
Your trouble, bub. i, gonna be
finding shells, for one thing, and
travelling for the other. Despite
the fact that the Government has
okayed the manufacture of in
creased numbers of shotgun shells,
most of 'em will go to farmers for
killing crows and other crop de-
stroyers. What's left over, the hun
tiers can buy.
But and here's the rub-offi-
Gals who should know aren't so
sure ther'll be even enough shells
for the farmers.
AS to gasoline, If you've been
to your rationing board lately with
sad story and looked into unsym-
pathetic eyes, you get the idea.
Don't let it get you down, though,
keep the old gun in good shape.
because this very lack of shells
and gas will help make North
Carolina the hunters paradise at
ter the war.
The Conservation and Develop
ment Department admits to
belief that the partial lack Of hunt
ing for the duration will be respon-
sible for a big increase in game.
That old silver lining you've
been hearing about.

CAMP DAVIS HAS
HEAVY PRACTICE
Blue Brigade Irons Out
Flaws Shown In Vic
tory Over Deacons

Despite the splendid acclaim that
greeted the Camp Davis triumph
over Wake Forest, the Fighting
AAs are not unmindful that were
it not for a last-minute Deacon
tumble and subsequent recovery
bv Johnny Mellus, the colleglans
would have undoubtedly been re-
turned the victor.
With that thought in mind, Major
Henry johnson, the AA soldiers
mentor, gathered his squad about
him yesterday and devoted tn e
bulk of the afternoon to point out
the errors of omission and COM
mission that affected the B u e
Brigade play in its slumping mo-
ments.
Particularly was emphasis plac-
ed on the glazing lapses in pass
defense, two of which directly paw
ed the way for Wake Forest scores.
Also up for review was the failure
to afford the kicker ample pro-
lection. And then the matter OF
incorrect alignment on defense
which permitted Russ Perry to
saunter through a wide alley for
the third Deacon touchdown, was
the subject of still further discus
sion.
But the pleasing notes far out
weighed the defects. Foremost OF
course was the invaluable tackle
play of John Mellus whose antics
bore full testimony to tn ALI
American rating gained as mem
Der of the Villanova college and
later, the N. Y. Giants pro club.
Mellus broke through with uncan-
ny precision to nail the Deac backs
before they could untrack them
selves. And on offense he cleared
the way for his plunging backs to
eat up yardage.
At the other tackle neWly-arrived
Bill West was just about on par
with Mellus. The giant redhead
was always in the van under down
field punts and never permitted
the receiver to escape his grasp.
Ralph Primavera. returning vet
eran from the AZ team, was bril-
liant in slipping through from his
guard post to harry the colleglans.
Vannoy, at center was his usual
reliable self and needed but slight
replacement. Ends Joe Messing,
Allie Goldberg, and Ted Baranoskl,
were outstanding, and Messing IN
particular almost stole the Often
sive show with his expert pass
snatching and 50-yard touchdown
gallops.
Other tackles and guards who
caught the eye were Chuiffl, Fay,
Shubert, and Cover.
b Ed Stocked was steady run
ming and passing back as was 1lg-
ured in preseason conjecture. In
q nlrneing role Jerry Bisceglia
ripped the Forester line to shreos
and accounted for the other two
Camp Davis scores. He was IN
irred in the late session and it is
hoped his ankle disability Will not
sidetrack him for long.
In the matter of running back
punts Angelo Provenzano, diminu-
five back, sparkled with his speedy
footwork and change of pace. A
welcome surprise at fullback was
Vic Santone, who only recently
got his first fling at that position.
And in the excitement the AA
rooters are not going to sell Johnny
Bezemes short. This ex-Holy Cross
back, reported late and is only
beginning to acquire his football
legs. When he becomes fully con-
ditioned the Blue Brigade is going
to boast of a flashy breakaway
runner and and an able passer to
support Soteckel and Mooney. The
Iatter's pitching turned the tide in
favor of the AAs last Saturday.

Of extra aiming homers by Vern
Stephens enabled the st. Louis
Browns to clinch the American
leagues sixth place by defeating
the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, today in
their 13-inning opening game. Those
teams then waged a 3-3 nine-in-

Both of Stephens fourbaggers,

first one, in the 18th, enIbled the
Browns to regain the lead but
the Red Sox pulled back into a

against Nelson Potter in their side
of that frame. After another score
less inning, Stephens again blasted
Tex Hughson to settle matters.
