WILDCATS PREP
FOR CHARLESTON
Coaches Use Dummies In
Drills At 18th And Ann
Street Field
BY GENE

Here's a friendly tip of advice to
all those Wilmington fans who are
planning a trip to Charleston Sat
urday. Get your hotel reserva-
tons early! Coach Leon Brogden
revealed last night that the his
toric seaport is enormously crowd
ed, and the Wildcat football team
may end UP occupying quarters at
nearby Citadel.
Charleston is approximately ITO
miles from Wilmington, and if the
same large number of fans, who
Travelled to Kinston, hit the road
for Charleston then several park
benches may be loaded down. OF
course, a few may pull the Iron
man. stunt, going and coming the
same night. There is probably
very few. fitting in this category,
however.
Many local fans have asked if
chartered buses will be provided.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce
holds the answer to this question.
They r undoubtly planning on
chartering buses, and if so. details
about schedules will be published
in the Star later this week.
No official announcement has
been made yet, but the band will
unlikely remain at home. Such
obstacles as the rooming shortage
is the chief barrier in the music
makers way. They will undoubtly
attend the High School B clubs
game with Tabor City at Legion
Stadium Friday night.
Practice at 18th and Ann started
easily this week with Coaches
BrogdeA, Tom Davis, and Jap
Davis using dummies in the rum
ming drills. Coach Jap Davis cor
rected several faults in the line
mems blocking, and by the end of
the session the front wall was
operating without a flaw. Coach
Brogden congratulated them on
their splendid work Friday night
in which they stopped Laurin-
burg's running attack completely.
No serious injuries confront the
Wildcat staff this week, but Her.
man Wick, Buddy Bridges, Neal
Patrick, Rudy johnson, a d
Homer Brewer are still suffering
minor ailments, which came be-
