Runs Wild Over Highly

If the Wilson plays used by
the third string against the first
team in New Hanover High school,

of how strong the Wilson offensive
is then Wilmington had better
watch out!

10, and Is yards time after time,
working where Clyde Sullivan and
rabbit Cverman play during
the scrimmage. Fritz Stelljes also
ate up ground at fullback. Only
CT two occasions were the scrubs
thrown for a loss.
The chief reason for the gains
was the box formation the reserves
used. New Hanover has played
against only single wing and 'T''
formation thus far this eason The
Wilson style, created by Knute
Rockne, looks like the single wing,
but the men are shifted slightly
different, making it possible for
many reverse plays.
Outstanding among the latest
shifts on B%rogden's first team is
Don Hyatt, who worked with the
second crew yesterday, with Irwin
Gore doing a fine job of pivoting
for the varsity. Bobby Haas and
Cecil Dillon shared the guard

The New Hanover Junior Varsity team will +ako
10 the turf at Legion Stadium Thursday night to hs+t1o
the ElzabethtoWn aggregation. These YOUNG nlavors
have been giving a good showing for themselves, hit
the fans seem to have completely forgotten the law
Wees
In previous home games the Juniors have nlaved
to less than a couple of hundred fans, while their ohio
hrothers', The Wildcats, have PLAYED beforo e nm g
5000 fans at Legion Stadium.
The lads on the Junior Varsity will be next vear,s
Wildcats. They might be rated as "Wild Kitten'so
now-But next year The "Kitten'' will be dropped and
+he full grown claws of the Cats will he n1+ +h ara
fighting for Dear Old NHHS'.
But, should the fans completely ignore the Kit
tens now?. The answer is NO .. Let's show these
boys We are behind them. I'll be looking for YOU at
Legion Stadium Thursday night.
Some really fast touch football games are being
played at Robert Strange park every afternoon. Bert
Hawley has organized the Junior Municipal Touch
League with games scheduled five days each week.
Tex Penny, well-known boxing coach was seen
talking to Athletic Director Leon Brogden at the
Wake Forest meeting Monday night :. Could Tex be
trying to interest Brogden in a boxing team this wear?
... This sport would go over in a big way, this corner
believes.
The Tobacco State League will try something
new next season Since having so much trouble
with umpires during the past season, Officials have
decided to employ one man who will supervise, recon-
mend ana instruct umplres during the entire seasons
play What's better, the officials say, they have
found the right man 80. He is Pat Fragile of Beckley,
W. Va,
Pat was the only Umpire to survive the stormy
season last year. He appeared here several times and
always called a good game. He plans to form his corp
of Men in Blue several weeks in advance to the open
ing game and will give them instructions and sugges-
tons during the regular season. Pat plans to call a
meeting of the umpires twice a month to iron out the
jumps troubles This is a good step. Good luck to
you, Pat.
Its the toughest game we will have to play this
season. Coach Leon Brogden said last night in regards
to the Wilson game here Friday night =. "Those boys
are tough" the coach remarked e. Tom Davis, back
field coach, was of the same opinion :. Several of the
Wildcat players were asked about the game and they
promptly replied: eve will take EN-, and by a big
score" At any rate Brogden's Boys will be in
there fighting to beat the Cyclones at Legion Field
Friday night.

yards to the Hemenway goal line.
Britt hit the center of the Hemen-
way line for the extra point.
Besides the outstanding playing
of Britt and Goodson in the back

James E. "Nath" Pannell, who

while a member of the Holmes
Junior College football squad back
in 1889, has told the writer that he
will again enroll at Goodman during
the forthcoming session but will
definitely not be in pigskin uni

thing of a disappointment to Bull

his stay at Holmes.
Pannen served for many, many
months overseas with the Marines
and is the proud possessor of five
battle stars. He has been married
for a short time to a very lovely
lass, and both will live at Goodman.
He was a standclii baseball pitcher
for the Bulldogs in 1910 and con-
tributed a number Of well-pitched
contests with his left arm. He tossed
a no-hitter against Summit during
the campaign.
