Seeking To Sink Kinsto1,
BY ROBERT MOORE

The rampaging New Hanover
Wildcats, who have chalked up two
neat shutouts this season, will be
seeking their third non-conference
win Friday night when they clash
with the highly rated Kinston
eleven on the American Legion
field. The game will get underway
promptly at 1900 pm.
With David Bannerman plum ging
the line like an atomic bomb and
the brilliant passing of James Tut
lie and letterman Johnny Symmes
behind the famed IT. formation the
Hanoverians are rated as the top
contender for the Southeastern
Conference Championship. If the
Wildcats under the watchful eyes
of Leon Brodgen and Sugar Bowl
veteran Tom Davis do pull through
with the flag it will be the first
time in 16 years for the local grid
ders.
Last year, with several well
trained pigskin handlers, the Cats
only captured one of their games;
the first game of last season. They
whitewashed the Whiteville Wolf
pack $50, three points behind this
years score. With the exception
of the Whiteville contest the locals
were unable to reach the goal
post in any of their conference
tits.
With an estimated total crowd

grand total of 81 points in the two
engagements they have played this
season.

as 1t was under their instructions
that team purposely would kick
over the sidelines to prevent the
opposition from rum ng the ball
pack for a touchdown.
Such practice eliminated one OF
the most thrilling spectacles of the
game. A fact the coaches well
knew, but they defended their act.
ton by pointing out they were
working with green men and
couldn't set up a defense for run.
Anyway, the men won't be green
much longer but the new rule is
there in case the coaches detect
the slightest emerald hue and de-
c.de safety comes before spectator
entertainment. The rule gives the
receiving team the ball on the
yardline from which it. was kicked
after the second outside boot.
We saw games in recent years
in which there was not a single
in-bounds kickoff. The rival team
apparently dwelling in a mutual
fear that probably boosted the self
esteem of the backs no little, as
even if they knew they couldn't run
100 yards with football with
nothing to avoid but catching cold
it was nice to think the opposition
thought them dangerous.
Those are the two noticeable
changes in the rules this year-the
passing rule and the kickoff rule.
There are several others, such as
permitting the use of what
amounts to a tee for the kickoff
and restricting use of tht hands
and arms in blocking, but the av-
erage fan won't notice the diff
ference.

Taking this thrill-a-play heart

the Cards win all OF the five they

Riding to victory on the shaky

they should drop their final two
bouts in st. Louis on Saturday and
Sunday.
The best the weather bureau
could say was that tomorrow's
weather should be better - how
much better it wouldn't guess. The
airport said it would clear in Nle
afternoon. Even if the sun should
appear early in the day, Briggs
Stadium still will be very wet ball
yard at game time.
If it is possible to play the two
games then the Tigers must win
both to sew up the pennant. A
split would assure them a tie with
Washington and carry the flag
fight down to the closing pair in St.
Louis.
After their experience with the
Browns on Sunday when Nelson
Potter screwballed them into a
two-hit shut-out, the Tigers are
frank in saying they have no de-
sire to buck St. Louis in a couple

them down, they are determined to
beat the Indians twice and get it
over with.
Manager O'Neill, before splash
ing over to hospital for routine
physical check, said his pitching
choices would be the same - Hal
Newhouser and Al Benton. Allie
Reynolds and Steve Gromek were
to go for the Indians.
Benton welcomed the days lay
off, figuring it would do his chronic
Charley-horse good. The big fellow
is extremely anxious to pitch him
self full, winning game. And he
should be tough if he gets h S
chance tomorrow. The fact that
he has been unable to finish his
last II starts is ranking him con-
siderably. He was yanked very pre-
cipitately several times, once last
week in Washington when he had
a so lead.
The rain just about washed
away the Detroit Clubs chances
Of breaking the American league
attendance mark. The Tigers need
ed to draw 5000 today and tomor-
row to smash the record total Of
1899, 422 paid admissions set by the
New York Yankees. Their chances
of pulling that many fans tomorrow
were very remote.
It is also possible that the Amer.
lean league pennant will be won
with the lowest winning percent
age in major league history.

And then, to the towns astonish-

out of court. What happened? Was

No. IL toas young DR.. Benton

The gossip rolled like a ball of

Reyna was the only one who was
unperturbed.
"I'm alive" Reyna declared TO
