United Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 15-WD-
Hoping to come UP to their annual
classic undefeated for the first
time in history, Army and Navy
faced their final hurdles tonight
as heavy respective favorites over
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The Cadets, undefeated and I'M
tied, march against the Quakers
before $4,000 fans at Franklin
Field Saturday with only a threat
ening overconfidence as possible
stumbling block to their 18th con
secutive triumph.
And once-tied Navy, its sputter'
ing T attack beginning to func'
ton smoothly, was heavy choice
to wallop Wisconsin and then, after
weeks rest, carry a record OF
seven hits and one tie into mas
sive municipal stadium at Phila'
delphia on Dec. l, against the
Cadets.
With principal interest centered
on whether Army and Navy both
can be undefeated for their blue
ribbon contest, headliners played
second fiddle in other sections OF
the nation.
Four other major teams in add.

Vanderbilt and Oklahoma A. & NJ,
spanked by Bob Fenimore, ap-

growing Pitt Panther while Prin-
ceton meets Columbia, Dartmouth
battles Cornell, Brown takes on
Harvard and Syracuse engages
Colgate.
Notre Dame, knocked out Of the
unbeaten class by the mauling
Army team, attempts a comeback
against Northwestern. In the Big
Ten, Michigan tackles Purdue in
an important tilt while Minnesota
meets Iowa and Ohio State plays
Illinois. Michigan State faces
Penn State in an intersectional
contest.
The Big Six title hung in the
balance as Oklahoma came to
grips with Missouri, while Kansas

PASSING ATTACK
MAIN THREAT OF
VISITING TEAM
FAYETTEVILLE Looking Fol
First Conference Win
OF Season
Bv GENE WARREN

New Hanover High schools Wild
cats close their Eastern confer
ence schedule tonight, meeting an
invading Fayetteville Bulldog
squad at American Legion stadium
at 8 p. m. before an expected
crowd of over 5000 football fans.
The Fayetteville eleven, even
though invading enemy territory,
will not be alone because special
Atlantic Coast Line train will ar
rive in town at $40 pm. with ap'
proximately 400 Bulldog rooters.
Leading the Soldier City squad
in their battle with the Cats is
Eddie Salley, the tailback and one
of the conferences leading pass
ers Salley played a big part in
sinking the Hanoverians last year,
and is the key man in the Blue
and Whites offensive tactics.
In the Fayetteville forward wall
Doran Berry, Bill Acker, and
Stanley Harris are all prominent
performers. Berry mans the left
guard berth, Acker holds down
the right guard position, while
Harris is stellar player at the
center post. The Fayetteville elev-
en- runs from the box formation.
The Bulldogs have yet to win a
conference tussle, losing and ty-
ing to all their opponents thus far
this season. The locals record is
not much better as they have come
out of only one conference tilt on
the long end Of the score.
The starting lineup for the fav-
ored Wildcats is the same as us
ual except for one change. Tinkey
Rogers replaces the injured Don
Hyatt at the pivot spot in the
Hanover Line. Kenneth Rogers,
though banged up badly in the
Durham struggle, is ready to take
over his left halfback role again,
but will probably not see much &C
ton. "
It will be Shorty Piner at quar-
terback, Co-Captain David Ban
herman at right halfback, and
Louis 'Bubba" Sykes, the distant
throwing passer, at fulllback. If
Haircut" Rogers goes out OF the
game, Johnny Symmes is the
likely replacement.
The line remains as usual with
John Hobbs and Chubby Paul at
the tackles, Graham Trap" Bare
foot along with Irwin Gore NOV
ing at the guards, and Jim Glib
the TANKS. Neal Patrick is ready
son and Buddy Bridges handling
to replace either of the ends.
The Junior Varsity elevens, For
ty and Eight Club and Kiwanis
clash in the preliminary affray,
before the feature game. Last
week these two crews fought to a
II to 7 deadlock, but both OF the
Captains, Charlie Smith Of the
Fighters, and Linwood Grissom
of the Kiwanis are hoping for a
victory.

No Word On Piedmont

. No further information had
been received. by James e. L.
Wade Of Wilmington last night
from his two kilograms asking
for information on the possibili-
ties Of the city having . fran
chise In the Piedmont league
next summer.
Wade sent the kilograms after
the Associated Press carried q
story Wednesday afternoon that
IN eighth team for the league had
not yet been found.
It was believed that Whining
on's chances for Joining the
league hinged on Charlotte's
plans for the coming season. If
Charlotte rejoined the league it
would become q seven club or
ganization and an eighth club
would be needed. If Charlotte
stayed out of league play, the
Piedmont would probably play
as q six club loop.
The story noting the Pied
nont's efforts to obtain en- eighth
club for its league was brought
to Mr.. Wade's attention by the
Star-News.

every now and then as they criti-
CHE the strategy down on the foot
ball field think they could do bet
ter if they were doing the quarter
backing.
They sit up there in at least
modified comfort, with panora-

they have that invaluable advan-
tage the boy calling the signals on
the field never has-the chance to
second guess.
The kid on the field has a deci-
sion to make right now, and not
tomorrow or even five minutes
from now, and if the decision is
wrong he doesn't get an oppor-
tunity to 60 back and give it an
other try along different lines.
Shall he try a pass over to the
right because the other teams left
halfback is playing in close? Fine,
only the halfback might anticipate
the strategy and move back just
before the ball is snapped, and
intercept the ball. The quarterback
is dolt.
There are about six inches to
20 on fourth down for first down
in midfield. The right side of the
opposing line has been soft spot.
Shall he play it safe and punt or
gamble on picking up that six
inches with his fullback? He takes
the chance, and the fullback slips
and falls for loss. What a dope
that quarterback is, anyway.
His team has the ball on the OPP
positions one-foot line, fourth

piled up. The defense is punched

afternoon.
The announcement climaxed sew

Cleveland Rams Try
For Rushing Record

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-(SpeciaD-
Adam Walsh's rampaging young
Cleveland Rams are pressing on
toward the major league rushing
record. Official National Football
league figures today reveal the
Rams, co-leaders in the western di-
vision, are gaining an average OF
81 yards every time they run the
ball from their Information.
In seven games, Rookie Bob
Waterfield has directed the Rams
to 1882 yards, and while this figure
is so yards short of the game mark
set by the Detroit Lions Of 1885,
their average per rush is only three
tenths of a yard off the record es-
tablished by Dutch Clark, Ernie
Caddel, Gus Gutowsky and COM
pany in a IL game schedule back
there before some of the Rams had
started to high school.
The Lions ran over opposing lines
that year at gait of 240 yards per
game and 5.4 yards per rush. But
they were not as adept, nor as par
tial to the forward pass as the
Rams and sometimes used as many
as 60 running plays over the eight
brushes with the formation, con-
tinue to be the toughest opponent to
advance against. The Lions have
limited the opposition to an average
gain per rush Of 81 yards. Phila-
delphia is next best with defensive
mark of "a yards against running
plays.
Whether the offense or the de-
tense shall prevail in the close west
ern division race will be one Of the
numerous important matters which
will come up for settlement in De-
troit on Thanksgiving morning when
the Lions and Rams meet for the
only time this season.

Heating Unit Costs

In selecting heating equipment for
the home, it should be remembered
that there are two costs - original
and operating-to be considered. The
cheapest heating system from the
standpoint of original first cost is very
likely to be the most expensive to
operate. The few dollars difference be-
tween dependable, well-made equip
ment, and something which will have
to be replaced in few years is very
small when compared with the annual
expense of fuel.
