gan his second year as chief as
sistant to Coach Beattie Feathers of

any Tar Heel sports fan, who

verify the fact that Wood knows
his football strategy, too.
Coach Wood, one of the most
popular members of State College,

Mi1igan Colleges Buffalones in
1888 and 1884. After graduation
from Milligan, he taught English

Following a brief tenue on the
Milligan facultry, the tall, soft
spoken coach proceeded to the Uni
versi,y of Tennessee, where he
earned his masters degree ir

his scholarly pursuits in 1912 tc

From Appalachian, he moved

Baseball's Leading Batter Clubs
Tribesmen F. 81 Win Over Cubs

BOSTON. Aug. 1O.-P)-Base-
balls top batter, Tommy Holmes
today dubbed the Boston Braves
into a 81 victory while subjectlng
Hank Bo~owy to his first setback
since joining the National League
leading Chicago Cubs.
While AL Javery held the Cubs
to two scratch hits over the first
seven innings, Holes singled in
Tommy Nelson with the first Bos-
ton run in the fifth and then lash
ed his 18th homer of the season
into the right field bullpen in the
seventh, with none ON and two
out.
Nelson, in the Braves lineup
for the first time since May,
opened the fifth with a single,
stole second and was sacrificed OF
third. Borowy went the distance
and gave the Tribesmen II hits
and four bases on balls.
The Cubs collected their third
and final hit against Don Hendrick-
son. who was rushed into action
in the eighth after Javery passed
the first two battecs. Hendrick-
son then filled the bases by passing
Phil Cavarretta and Don Johnson
scored as Andy Pafko grounded
cut to Chuck Workman.
Bill Nicholson then drew the
ninth of the Cubs bases on balls
to load the bases again but Hen
erickson forced Dewey Williams
to foul out and Roy Hughes to line
out to Chuck Workman.
Hendrickson had more trouble
in the ninth, when the Cubs again
filled the bases. Pinch-Hitter Ed
die Sauer, up for Borowy, walked,
Stan Hack poked a Texas Lacquer
and, with two out, CavaTretta
was safe on Nelson's error. Pafko
then ended the game by grounding
out again with three on.

enough the vast stadium Hitler had

It is difficult to dwell on sports

ment.
They are sweating it out mental
ly in biding their time, wondering
who and where as concerns the
next move. They are sweating II
out physically in an expansive ath-
Ietic program arranged to keep
them fit and occupied.
The camps are named AFTER
American cities, and this one is
known as St. Louis. Located u
miles South Of Reims it is vast
tent city occupying a plain four
miles square and accommodating
10000 troops.
The sports facilities for these
transient CTS include 70 volleybal]
courts, three basketball courts, two
baseball diamonds, one football
field, one quarter-mile running
track and 20 badminton court1
That is just one camp of II, I'm

With other recreation and enter

boys do not get much time to mo,
