BIRDS
BY GENE WARREN
" Star Sports Writer

Hanover High School football team
defeated Rocky Mount High, and
despite the fact that Coach Leon
Brogden's 1916 club appears
stronger than the AS product,
MINIS goes into tonight's Eastern
Conference encounter at Rocky
Mount once again ~un5erdogs.
Many disgrunted, victory-hungry
Wilmingtonians may shout: why
shouldn't we break the Rocky
Mount monopoly? We have got an
exceptional coaching staff, the
full local support, and a big let
terman team"
These fans may find the answer
by glancing at the Blackbird line
up, which contains 10 returning
first s%tringers vino fought the Wild
cats to a 6-6 deadlock last season.
They may also remember the
game is being played in Rocky
Mount, and the rule goes that the
home team always has a two
touchdown advantage. -
But while local fans are ponder
ing. Coach Leon Brogden and his
assistants, Tom and Jap Davis is
switching their starting eleven
around trying to find the best Of
fensive and defensive combina-
ton. Yesterday the backfield
foursome was made up Of Louis
"Bubba" Sykes at quarterback,
Jim Gibson at left halfback, Ruby
johnson at fullback. and Co-Cap'
tain Jimmy Piner at right half
back. Sykes was once again shift
ed to the signal calling slot, be,
cause the need of a good passing
quarterback is essential for the
'T'' formation, and Herman Vick'!
bad shoulder prevents him from
throwing accurately.
NHHS's regular front wall viii
remain unchanged. Even though
out most of the week with injurie!
flankmen Buddy Bridges and Bob
by Stewart r ready along witt
tackles Bill Kuhn and doc" Ven
tiers, guards Irwin Gore and Butcf
Swart, and center Don Hyatt.
Looking over the opponent
backfield, they boast two break
away artist, who both starred here
in As. They are Melvin. left half
back, and swift Bob Page, swivel
hipped right half. Melvin does the
majority Of Rocky Mounts punt
ing, averaging around IS yard!
per boot, and he is also the Black
birds hardest runner. P
specializes as a break-away artist
and has sprinted for more than 81
yard gallops already this season
Other sidelines on the Cats are
that they will wear their full white
and black shirts and silver pants
tonight; the main squad will leave
Wilmington at around 2:15 thi!
afternoon with the third and fourth
teams starting the trip at $3.50;
and MINIS will not stay overnight
Transportation for those WHIT
can't get any other way has beer
provided by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce on an ACL train
Counting these railroader pas
sengers, the many automobiles,
and other local vehicles going
Wilmington should be well repre-
sented at Rocky Mount come s
o'clock and kickoff time.
The probable lineups are as fol-
| lows.

Clyde Jordan, hurting his

Guards Take PIacard!
Off Pickets in ScuffIe
|At Justice Building

Two conscientious objectors con.
tinued their picketing OF the Justice
Department Building entrance al
Tenth street and Constitution ave.
nue. today after having been stripped
of their placards during a scufie
with building guards.
The pickets who, with others, have
maintained vigil at the place since
Thursday, said they intended to con
tinne until they are permitted tc
present to Attorney General Clark
a plea for the release of six con-
scientious objectors now reported to
be on hunger strike in Landstone
Federal Prison in Minnesota.
The pickets involved identified
themselves as Ashton Jones, who
said he was a nondenominational
minister from Atlanta, and Roger
AFFORD of Chicago, who said he was
thrown out" of the Danbury
(Conn0 Federal Prison recently
after serving ~ months of a three
year term as an objector.
OAiAdAAAS 6udA 10, tiC OOJCCUOIS
said, took away their placards which
they had intended to wear at the
building entrance customarily used
by Mr.. Clark.
The placards we're described as
reading Thousands of conscientious
objectorS still in jail" and Jail for
conscience denies civil liberties"
The pickets said the guards first
asked for the placards, then took
them by force. Their only resist
ance, Jones said, was an attempt to
protect the placards, which, he said,
involved considerable wrestling, dur
ing which, he said, he was thrown
to the sidewalk.
The signs were torn into frag-
ments.
Guards in the building refused
to comment on the incident, but it
was said at the Office of the guard
captain that there would be no
interference with the pickets so long
as they do not interfere with the
public and do not wear placards on
Government property.
The pickets said they have been
on duty continuously since last
Thursday, sleeping at night on the
building steps.

SUNDB0RG FLAyS ARRANGEMENT OF
 ALhSKA VESSELS
Blame for UndependabIe Service Put on Operators
 of American Lines

SEATTLE, Sept, 25.-"Alaskans don't think they should be con- demned to perpetual suffering be- cacse of strikes and interruptions in steamship service caused by poor management on the part of vessel operators" George Sundborg, new manager of the Alaska Development Board
 His remarks were mace n con- nection with @ report ty himself and Henry w. Clark, retiring man. ager of the Board, to Governor Wallgren's Advisory Commission.
 Companies operating to Alaska had no immediate comment, but indicated they might have some tomorrow
 Letting Them Down"
 Sundbcrg said Alaskans feel the Alaska Steamship Company is letting them down." He declared the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Steamship companies have operated between British Columbia and Alaskan ports for years on re- gular and dependable schedules
 He added that American ships aI- ways have called irregularly at Alaskan ports. The situation has become so bad, he asserted, that 90 percent ol southeast Alaskans pre- fer to travel in Canadian vessels because they maintain better sched- ules and provide superior service.
 Traffic Is IntOlerable
 Sundborg, whose headquarters are in Juneau, said the Canadian ship ping companies consequently are reaping a golden harvest in Alaska. We would prefer to divert this busi- nels but traffic from Puget Sound ness into American steamship chan 70 Alaska is intolerable
 There is such a discrepancy in American and Canadian freight rates, he continued, that it is cheaper for Alaskan merchants to buy foodstuffS in Canada, which necessitates paying both Canadian and American import duties, than it is to buy direct from Seattle with no import duties at all
 He said the inclinaton is to blame labor for high maritime rates and transpOrtation difficulties but add ed, T don't think this is a fair ap- praisal. I believe it is the fault of the American steamship manage ment."

PRICE CEILINGS ARE BACK AGAIN
 ON MEATS, OTHERS

Effective today. September 25, in most of Alaska. OPA price ceil- ings are back on fresh and frozen meats, as publicized by the Alaska OPA territory-wide last week. Also included in this recontrol action are canned meats, lard. shortening, salad and cooking oils, which like wise again become subject to OPA regulations on this date.
 Restoration of controls on these items, ceiling-free since June 30, is a direct result of the Price De- control Boards August 20 decision to recontrol livestock, soybeans and cottonseed products" OPA eX- rlained. Since their decision a timetable of effective date has been set up, with Alaska retailers being given 16 days grace beyond the Sept. 9 date set for states retailers.
 Although higher than June 30 ceilings are being allowed for Grade A and A beef, also pork and lamb cuts, the OPA stated to- day. that Grade B and lower grades of beef and all canned meats will return to their June 30 levels.
 The reinstated ceilings on such common brands of shortening as Crisco, Spry and Snowdrift will av- craze about one cent more per pound. and lard too is expected to cost slightly more under these new ceilings, according to this state ment from the OPA office.
