Wilson's Title Play Hopes Hit
BY Drastic Eligibility Ruling

Because of an arbitrary interpre-
tation of an archaic eligibility rule,
Wilson High Schools football team
will go into tomorrow's important
interhigh game with Western Sc
verely handicapped.
AS the Green Tigers gun for the
victory that would give them un-
disputed possession of second place
in the standings and a bid for the
title game with Eastern, Gene Tay-
lor, triple-threater who spanked the
team in its championship effort, will
be on the sidelines.
Taylor actually is scholastically
eligible at the present time. How
ever, he was not eligible when the
game was originally scheduled to
be played last month. Rain forced
a postponement, and Athletic Di-
rector Tony Kupka has ruled that
Taylor's status is retroactive to the
original date, even though the game
is to be played tomorrow at Wilson.
Taylor has played major part in
bringing Wilson to the front. When
he became eligible and entered the
lineup he joined what was a good
team, but not championship out
fit and it so happened that his pass
ing and kicking were all that the
Tigers needed to develop into an
eleven that might give Eastern a
real battle. Wilson strategy has
been built around him and his loss
on technicality hits the Tigers
hard.

Wood to give many of the Capitals
rising woman bowlers an oppor-
tunity to roll for the first time in
special competition free of charge.

attempt to end their season in a
blaze of glory with Homecoming

Everybody from Coach John Nc
MILAN down to the water boy is
determined to carve out victory
over the Old Liners to climax the
string of ties with favored oDpon-

The latest exploit was their

come from behind to tie them.

Here's how the Gamecocks figure
why they should best the Old
Liners.
They played Clemson to score
less tie, although the Tigers were
favored by four touchdowns. The
next week they tied Miami's pow

feated Clemson. Then last Thurs

1t was sad day for the players
when some camera bug got the
bright idea of capturing the entire
game on a roll of films and after
viewing last Sundays Redskin Eagle
clash in celluloid we can name at
least one official who'll rue the day
cameras were introduced in football.
That's Charley Berry, a veteran
whistle-blower who was the games
head linesman.
The film shows the Eagles first
touchdown was illegal and Mr.. Berry
is standing there admiring the
scenery. Certainly he couldn't have
been watching the play II he was,
then he doesn't need glasses. He
should have a seeing-eye dog,
The pictures show Roy thinner
mans pass to Ben Kish plainly and
clearly. Kish is tackled by Les Dye
and as he goes down he tosses the
ball FORWARD to Ernie Steele No
camera angle is involved. The play
was filmed from behind and One
Eyed" Connolly could see Kish give
the pigskin a basket ball toss
FORWARD. A lateral pass would
have missed because Steele had
raced ahead of Kish.
It's water over the dam, OF
wherever water goes, but Berry
missed a couple of other plays that
didn't help the Tribe at all. The
big blunder, of course, involved the
first touchdown. Had he called
the play correctly the half would
have ended in a scoreless tie and
the second-half strategy would have
been different.
Slugging Not Seen in Film.
We thought Berry erred in calling
the Redskins offside on an Eagle
fourth-down punt in the first pc
riod because Johnny Adams. who
put his foot across the line, re-
covered almost as the ball was
snapped. Later in the same period
Les Dye was penalized for slug
ging" Jack Ferrante after he was
tackled, but the film shows Fer
rante tried to regain his feet and
Dye leaped at him to thwart this
move.
In the third period, however, the
Skins were penalized for delaying
