WILDCATS DRILL R
FOR CAPITALS

The Wildcats were forced. to

gym yesterday due to a steady
drizzle that offered no promise of
a let-up. Most of the time was
devoted to running through the
plays and taking rigorous exer-
cises.
The Cats face an open date this
week enc, sgbut encounter the power
full Raleigh aggregation here next
Friday night October 20. The
Caps have made an. impressive
showing this year, and took the
Eastern conference championship
last season.
Their starting lineup is boosted
by five players who held starting
berths on last years powerhouse
eleven: namely, Poole and Martin,
in the line; and Hawkins. Terrell,
and Jordan in the backfield. How
ever, the Capitals will be without
the service of Jordan, star tailback
as he has. been banned from East

STATE PREPARING
; TO MEET DEAC0NS

RALEIGH, Oct. 19.-R,-Coach
Beattie Feathers, confronted with
what he says will be his toughest
opposition of the 1914 campaign in
Wake Forests pace-setting Dea-
cons, tapered off the heavy work
for state college gridders today
with a two-hour drill session
stressing the timing of plays.
State meets the Deacons in a
conference. battle here Saturday
night. The game is expected to
draw the largest crowd OF the
Wolfpack's home schedule.
Feathers, serious demeanored
and never inclined to sing the
blues, admitted the pack sis too
light and too inexperienced to cope
with the Deacons." However, he
said his team looked pretty good
after a week of pointing for the
game. "We'n make a battle Of it."
The Wolfpack coach said his
chief worry would be in reserves.
1--WE just don't have the replace
ments, and our first stringers are
going to become Commute players
Saturday night. There aren't any
injuries to speak of, but when you
just don't have the players minor
injuries count far more"
He said most of his players had
been heavily burdened with aca-
denic work this week and that
lengthy laboratory periods had
conflicted with the practice sched-
ules.
However, the game stacks up
to show interesting football from
the fans standpoint. Well make a
creditible showing, regardless of
the Odds" Feathers said.

Swedish Angel Faces "
His Heaviest Opponent

Ed. Note-Bill Mc1lWain, former
ly sports writer for the Morning
Star, came into the Star office last
night wearing the uniform of U.
S. Marine, about the same time as
Promoter Causey and the Angel.
The following is his conception of
the famous grappler.
BY BILL McILWAIN :
Bert Causey, car of the local
wrestling arena, offers Wilmington
fans tonight the oldest If not the
best mat show ever presented here.
Blowing into the Star office last
night in his customary anniable
manner, the ingenius Causey had
as his companion the Swedish
Angel, nationally acclaimed as the
worlds ugliest human. The Angel,
who is said to be rs skillful as he
is unattractive, is slated to battle
the Blimp in the featured fracas of
Causey's all-star card, getting I'M
derway at BIS at the ITALIAN Hall.
The Angel has not appeared in
the local square circle for two
years but he is remembered for
his trouncing of the Masked Marvel
in his last outing at ITALIAN Hall.
After being thrown completely out
OF the ring by the powerful masked
man, the numbering Swedish swat
ter proceeded to come back and
administer the Marvel a thorough
thrashing.
Commenting on his encounter
with the 678 pound Blimp tonight,
the Angel, who scales measly 236
stated that he had never
with such an advantage in weight.
The 'unhandsome one" said that
the heaviest opponent he had ever
met in his fifteen years of limb
twisting was Toar- johnson, 440
FOUNDER. Questioned as to what
tactics he planned to use to over
come the giant ,Blinp, the. Angel
flately retorted, There's not much
you can do with a guy with that
much beef except try to wear.
him down. Why if he happens to
fall on you. you're going to be
an arm OF leg"
Causey's billing of the show as
the Worlds ugliest human against
the worlds heaviest wrestler
gives the mug smashing addicts a
fair picture of the. grotesque ag-
gregation Of wrestling poundage to
be assembled in old Thalian Hall
tonight. s ,f.'s5t

The newly formed American Pro-
