POWER IS ADDED
TO CL0UDBUSTERS

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 7.-R-
The return of Backs G.. V. Fella-
baum and Frank Aschenbrenner
to action gave the U. S. Navy
Preflight Cloudbusters additional
strength for their game with
Georgia Preflignt at Athens on
Saturday afternoon.
Both cadets saw action in earl
Ter games and it was Aschenbren-
ner who scored the winning touch
down against the Naval academy,
however, both men have been on
the sidelines since the Duke skir-
mish.
The game at Athens will mark
the second time the two teams
have met on the gridiron this
year. In an earlier game played
at Chapel Hill the Cloudbusters
won, to 9, when Buell. st. John
connected for a field goal with
seven seconds to go.
On the whole the team came
out of the cambridge tussle. in
fine shape. Only minor injuries
hampered today's drill.
Most of this afternoon was spent
with the "B" team operating on
both offense and defense from the
Georgia Preflight formation.

TERRELL SPORTS
CATCHING RECORD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 In
Modest Rick Terrell would be the
last to mention it, but he is sport
ing new American league catch
mo record of 1,756 games.
By next summer, if everything
goes well, the trim receiver for
the Washington, Senators hopes to
establish basebell's all-time high
for number of games caught at
1871 or more.
In the hubbuo of the 1943 pen
nant race. it passed quite unnotic-
ed that Terrell ran his string to
1856 games in the final game in
Detroit.
That comfortably surpassed two
cid records. .1.721 games which
Raw Schalk caught for the Chicago
White sox, 1912 to 1923, and Bill
Dickey's total of 1,735 for the New
York Yankees, 1928 to 1913.
But it left Terrell "a games short
of Gabby Hartnett's overall major
league record of 1,79O games for
the Chicago Cubs and New York
Giants, 1922-l941.
If Terrell does set an all-time
record, he will have done it in
record time, Is seasons.
It took Schalk II seasons to catch
1,721 games, Dickey 16 seasons to
get into 1875 box scores and Har-
rett 20 years to pile up his total
OF 1,790.

DEAC0NS DRILL
FOR DUKE TILT

WAKE FOREST, Nov. 7 In
Facing their strongest test of a
perfect season thus far in Duke,
Wake Forest colleges Deacons
worked until dusk today in a gen.
eral review of offensive and de-
fensive plays.
Coach Peahead Walker said his
charges were in excellent shape
with the exception of Buck Mabry,
the first string fullback who hurt
an old ankle injury in the Clemson
game Saturday. However, Mabry
may be able to play in the crucial
game with the Blue Devils.
Walker said he would keep his
boys hard at work through Friday
in an effort to get by the Blue
Devils, who he said not only would
be the toughest one his Deacons
would meet this year but who in
all probability would prove too
tough.
"We're preparing to make a bat
tie of it," Walker commented. ''We
think we have an excellent chance
to win. But we're playing at Dur
ham and that's very much in
Dukes favor"

ORMOC VALLEY FIGHT

H E A D @ U A R I E RS, Philip
pines, Wednesday, Nov. g. P -
The U. S. Oath division is locked
in a critical fight in Ormoc valley
en- Leyte with elements of four jap
anese divisions, including three
rushed in as reinforcements, head:
quarters reported today.
This was the crucial battle pre-
saged by Japanese convoy land
ings at Ormoc while the 24th was
capturing Pinamopoan on Cariga-
ra bay and swinging south.
Today's communique said ele-
naents of the first, 30th and 102nd
Nipponese divisions had augment
ed the badly shattered 16th-the
torturers of Bataan-in opposing
the 24th. Three strong enemy
counterattacks were repulsed.
Heavy losses were inflicted on
the enemy in these counterattacks,
make at night just south of coastal
Plnamopoan on northwest Leyte.
Inc strength OF them was great,
constituting savage fighting equal
to the heaviest encountered on the
island.
After they failed, the japanese
infiltrated American positions and
some Withdrawals were necessary
but the ground lost has been re-
covered by the Yanks.
The scene of the fighting is along
the northern section of the narrow
winding road from Pinamopoan to
ormoc as well as in adjoining
ridge barriers dominating the val
ley.
A spokesman said the japanese
were well dug in. However, con-
slant artillery Smelling has forced
the foe to restrict movements of
reinforcements and supplies to the
night hours.

ble.'
Nays line, last Saturday, was
one OF the most potent college lines
we ever say, Extensively and de-
fensively,
Army's line has done everything
asked of it, but, except against
Duke, it hasn't been asked to do
any triple somersaults or anythins
really difficult.
The Army line seems stronger
than last year, when it seemed
strong enough until it started rum
nlng up against the big boys, but
we don't think it can match the
Navy forward wall for sheer
punching power.
The addition of Doc Blanchard,
a baby tank, at 1ailback has added
tremendously TO the effectiveness
OF the army ''T' attack.
The Army Notre Dame game
this week will provide fairly ac-
curate comparison of offensive and
defensive strength of the Middles
and Cadets if the Irish aren't too
pulped up from their contact with
the Navy steamroller.
In fact, We wouldn't go definitely
en- record as to the comparative
strength of Army or Navy until
after that game, but from what
we have seen SO far we lean
little toward Navy, despite these
par u or thereaoouts scores turn
ed in by the Cadets. They have
been playing an easier course.
In other words. all is confusion,
until after this coming Saturday
anyway.
