In an effort to correct defects in
his teams performances in three
previous games, Coach Peahead
Walker sent his Wake Forest Dea-
cons through long session OF
blocking today.
Individual blocking in the line

major part Of the session, and
Walker said his undefeated squad
was showing improvement. An
other heavy workout was sched-
uled for tomorrow.
Rock Brinkley was switched
back to the first string fullback
post today to replace Buck Ma
bry, former Lenoir- Rhyme star who
has a slight chest cold. Mabry was
selected to start the game against
Maryland and turned in a good
game. Brinkley has scored Is
points this season.
The squad as a whole was in
good shape with the exception OF
Nick Sacrinty who still was nurs-
ing a leg injury and may not start
against VMI at Greensboro in. a
night game Saturday. His tailback

CLAIMS
SOUTH ABUSED

RALEIGH, Oct. 11.-(REA. I.
Ferree, Republican nominee for
governor, said in an address pre-
pared for delivery here tonight
that "the South has been kicked
about like red-neaded step
child as reward for its faithful
delivery of the electoral vote to
the Democratic party and the
New Deal"
The COP nominee spoke at a
rally of Wake county Republicans
held in the county court house.
The speech was broadcast.
THE South has faithfully given
its electoral vote to the New Deal
administration, yet a greater part
Of the relief and recovery ex-
penditures doled out under the
New Deal went to northern and
western sections of the country
in the : furtherance of political
returns
eff you are puzzled about the
Democratic South receiving so
little from a Democratic admins
tration, bear in mind that when
political managers allot the
spending of campaign funds, they
never spend money in a state
where they are certain to win
or certain to lose. The west is
doubtful, or at least is needed
for victory at the polls. Conse-
yuently it received the gretaer
portion of the New Deals relief
funds"

SPORTS TRAIL

The rival teams were bowling and
scraping all over the place in an
Alphonse and CASTOR act right out
Of Emily Post, with the rival
managers, such turculant rivals
that they shared the same apart
ment during the season, meeting
each other coming and going in
swing-shift fashion, setting h e
example by trying to bow each
other out of the joint headquarters,
with Billy Southworth finally winn-
ing and withdrawing.
1t is doubtful if there ever before
was series thus staged without a
hint of row between the rival
teams or between players and UNI
pires, and we have an idea that the
astounded arbiters, after glancing
around apprehensively the first few
times they called close decisions,
settled back to enjoy this n w
peace and quiet to the utmost.
We've seen several World series,
but none without its verbal clawing
to a greater or lesser degree, as
such events usually find the play
ers with their nerves exposed, and
even docile frankie Crosetti of the
Yankees a couple of years ago
gabbed and pushed his way into
Punishment for the first month of
the following season.
But the latest series, VIII C h
might have been expected to pro
duce some vivid fireworks, didn't
produce a tossed match. Which is
all right, too, as the quality of a
ball game isn't judged by the dis
puteS, and because a player isn't
yapping at every decision and TAX
ing roundhouse sings at opponents
doesn't mean he isn't in there try
ing. Maybe the Browns and Cards
should get plaque or something.

NEW YORK, Oct. II -R-Phll-
adelphia will have to move over.
St. Louis has qualified as city
of brotherly love.
When two baseball teams from
the same town can play for the
big apple in six well-contested
games and leave the atmosphere
as pure and unsullied by the fumes
of sulphuric remarks and bitter in
vective as they found it, the mil
lenium seems to have come.
Here were two teams that, by
all that is natural, should be rivals
to the point of hostility, as there
is no rivalry greater than one with
in the family circle.
The least you could expe C t
would be for the managers to issue
hourly pre-game bulletins inform
ing the world they were out to
dunk the opposition into the neutral
waters of the Mississippi, and for
the players to go about mumbling
threats Of Mayhem.
And the umpires! Those peace
loving souls so often called heels
might be expected to need ear
plugs, gas masks and vest-pocket
gimmicks to Withstand the verbal
and physical abuse that would be
heaped on them every time they
called a man out who was out by
less than six feet.
Well, this conception Of what
might happen turned out TO be all
wrong. The Cards and Browns
turned out to be teams of panty
waists with the loudest Individual
squawk of the whole series coming
from the rusty pipes of a vendor
hawking peanuts on the upper
deck.
