CAMECOCKS PREP
FOR DUKE TILT

COLUMBIA, Sept. 49, P) -
Defensive measures designed to
stem the power of mighty Duke
will be the order of the day Mon.
day and Tuesday for the Univer.
sity of South Carolina Gamecocks
as they prepare for their invasion
of Durham Saturday.
Coach Johnny Mcmillan and as.
sociates will put the Birds through
hard practice sessions, featuring
defensive scrimmages, today and
tomorrow, beginning to taper of
Wednesday.
The Gamecocks will hold a light
drill Thursday and leave for Dur.
ham Friday morning, getting in a
final workout in the North Caro-
lima city Friday afternoon.
Undaunted by the heavy odds
against them, the Gamecocks are
determined to stage a real battle
when they come up against the
Blue Devils, defending Southern
Conference and Sugar Bowl cham.
pions.
Just what defensive measures
Mcmillan hopes to take are be.
tween him and the boys. If they
prove effective in stopping the
Duke running attack, the Birds
will have accomplished something
that few of the nations teams
have been able to do in the past
decade.
Trying to stop Duke is some
thing like trying to dam Niagra
Falls" Mcmillan said, ''but we
are going to do our durndest.
The type of attack which the
Gamecocks will employ this sea-
son is still something of a mystery
to the general public. Mcmillan
has built it around the traditional
Notre Dame shift, but has added
a few variations of his own.

WILDCATS DRILL
FOR WHlTEVILLE
Second Tilt OF Season
Scheduled For Legion
Stadium Next Friday

Ills week tIlG NEW 11dllOVcI
Wildcats will report for practice
at the Thirteenth and Ann street
field in an effort to correct some
of their weaknesses which cropped
up consistently in last Friday S
game against New Bern High
school at the American Legion sta.
dunn. The Cats are preparing to
meet Whiteville here Friday night.
Head Coach Leon Brogden and
his assistant, Tom Davis, were Civ
en- their first real opportunity to
see what their team could do. They
went on the field to beat New
Bern 1877, and used the powerful
1T formation for the first time
New Bern also employed the
tricky offensive, and the game re-
suited in a colorful affair.
However, Wilmington line was
too much for the New Bern lads,
and gains were to the advantage OF
New Hanover.
The Wildcats just couldn't holo
on to the ball in the beginning OF
the game. Perhaps they were just
a little nervous in their season op'
ener, but the MINIS coaches plan
to work on this point during the
coming week.
Taking honors in the line lasl
Friday night, 200 pound John
Hobbs did his share of the block
ing. Occasionally one Of the New
Bern lads got through, but on the
whole, Wilmington held a pretty
rugged defense in the face of the
visitors. Hobbs took Eastern Con.
ference honors in his department
last year.
Chubby Paul was Hobbs run.
ming mate. Handling the guard pc.
sitions were Graham Barefoot and
Irwin Gore, with Don Hyatt at cen.
ter. Herman Wick and Buddy
Bridges took care of the ends.
What the coaches intend to work
on this week is a little more OF
that IT. stuff, which the boys really
worked on in their last game.
Tuttle's sharp eye and his quick
aim placed the ball right where
lie wanted it to 60 most of the
time, and Rogers and Wick deserve
equally as much credit for being
where they were supposed to be-
Sykes, Summes, Grissom and
Bannerman all added to the vic
tory over New Bern. Now, the
New Hanoverians are out to take
Whiteville down the same route.
Earlier in the season, Coach
Brogden said he didn't expect his
boys to win all their games this
year. In fact, he was somewhat
dubious about the future Of the
team, and unhesitatingly admitted
that the Wildcats had hard strug'
gle ahead.
The main point in most OF Brog-
denis pep talks before the public
was not the work of his team, SO
much as how much the team need
ed the support Of their fans:
New Hanover High school is the
biggest sports drawing card in
southeastern North Carolina. Last
Fridays game in the American
Legion stadium showed that the
town is completely and whole
heartedly back of their football
team this year. An unofficial 5000
fans, and probably more, were or
hand for the game. 1t was the
biggest crowd that the stadium
has held in four long years OF war.
Although the end of the war un'
doubtedly had something to &c
with the huge crowd. it can be
conceded that no matter whether
Wilmington's team loses xor wins
next Fridays game with White
Vile. their fans will be there CIV
ing them their full support.

Negro May Be New
Massachusetts, Council Set'y

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-(ANP)-It is
expected that a Negro Democrat
may become the executive secre-
tary of the Massachusetts govern
or's council as result of the cleo
tion which gives the council five
to four Democratic majority when
Governor Maurice Tobin takes Of
flee.
The job has been held by Negro
Republicans since 1924, and the po-
sition, which pays $4,000 year, is
now held by Joseph S. Mitchell Of
Boston. Mitchell succeeded William
L. Reed following the latter's death
in 1943. Reed was the son of a slave
who became a lawyer after studying
in the office of the late Charles j.
Innes. He held the position from
1924 to 1943, being appointed by
former Governor Charming H. Cox.
From 1884 to 1943 there were
only three incumbents in the 49,
year period. The holder of the posi-
ton has no fixed term, but serves
at the pleasure of the governor and
council. Governor-elect Tobin is re-
ported to have candidate for
MitchelPs job and it points to AS
sistant Corporation Counsel John
H. Louden, 81, of Boston. The poll
tics of the situation requires that
the new Democratic governor and
council appoint Negro, since men,
bers of that race have held the posi-
tion since 1924 under Republican
councils, and the secretary should
be lawyer.
Louden was appointed by Tobin
to the city's legal department in
1941. He is a graduate of Howard
university and Boston University
