Rated Favorites Over
Sampson Eleven

Following an impressive 1870 tri-
umph over Hallsboro last week,
the Whiteville Wolfpack goes into
tonight's game with the Clinton
Blues as favcrites when the two
teams collide at Whiteville High
park at 8 o'clock.
Little is known about the Samp-
son county aggregation except that
they have a strong defensive club,
but are not too strong on the often
sive. They have lost only one game
this season, and it was to Dunn by
a 200 score.
This will be the second night en-
counter for Coach Brinkley's
elevens. They dropped their season
opener to Mullins under the lights.
Whiteville is expected to use the
following lineup with which they
rolled over Hallsboro- 1t is as fol
lows: Harwood and Lennon, end;
Taylor and Smith, tackles; Griffith
and Hasty, guards; Garrell, center;
Rushing, quarterback; Horton, RICH

bers sealed-up a spot in the play
offs in the Number Two Grade

tilt staged at Thirteenth and Ann
Streets. The Bradley Creek Clam

selves he three-way tie for the
crown trouncing the Forest
Hills E.. dogs, 22-o.
However,, following the conclu-
sion Of the two grid-flicts which
terminated the conference play for
this particular loop the coaches Of
the three f%irst-place clubs drew lots
to decide which eleven would be
omitted from the championship
playoffs; the Bradley Creek lads
drawing the unlucky slip. There
fore, E. R. Blakeslee, Director OF
the Grade School Athletic Pro-
gram, announced that the finale
would be played between Carolina
Beach and Washington Catlett at
an ~ulspecified date.
Jack Batson took scoring honors
for the winning Baach-combers,
whereas Julian Rogers and George
Patterson headed the victorious
Clam-diggers.
Blakeslee also emphasized that

DUROCHER ATTENDS
MYSTERIOUS FARLEY

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 31-P-
Leo Durocher, manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, came here sud-
denly Thursday for a mysterious
meeting with Branch Hickey, his
general manager, but refused to
disclose whether he had signed
a new Brooklyn contract, why the
meeting was held, or even where.
Grinning with some sort Of big
secret, Durocher told reporters
he had mo comment" on al
questions regarding his own status
with the Dodgers.
He did say, however, that he
had not been approached by his
old boss, Larry MacPhail, with
an offer to manage the New York
Yenkees. The Yankees recently
signed Durocher's coach, Chuck
Dresser, to an u~ndisclosed post
despite a claim by Hickey that
Dresser had an agreement not to
leave the Dodger for anything less
than a managers post.

Ganey forced me to phone Frank

him to come to Wilmington at

Henderson to arrive, Morton said
they played the p%iccolo.

When Henderson arrived, Morton
said, Ganey went out to the car
and as soon as he (Morton) heard
the shot he jumped out of the
window and ran to a telephone and
called the police.
On a direct question Morton
said that Frank Henderson had
roomed at his house at Seagate
and he thought that was where he
had met Ganey's daughty, Rebec-
ca.
L. G.. Willis, a resident of Sea-
gate, testified that he was directly
across the road from the station

said he saw the a make a ~"

against two defeats. However, ex-
emplary of the unpredictability of
the conference this year, the Bull
dogs have been the only club to
register a win over the Wilson az
gregation, eking out a rs victory.
Rocky Mount, fielding one Of its
weakest elevens in owe a decade:
has boosted everybody's average
but their own this season, having
met four set-backs in as many
tries. 1t is also interesting to note
that they have only been able to
accumulate 10 points this year
However, the Tobacco City boys
may take heart when they remi-
nisce on the 1914 Wilmington eleven
that is certain to definitely upset
ly but let's not go into that.
Should Wilmington send the Cy-
clones home on the short END to-
night, and Goldsboro - somehow
or other give the Fayettevill;ans
another taste of defeat, only Ra.
leigh will be left in the running
against the locals. However, there
will still be Durham and Fayettc-
vile to contend with the two fol-
lowing week-ends. Raleigh meets
Fayetteville next week in a game
that is certain to defin1tly upset
somebody's applicant.
Meanwhile, though, allow us to
make a pair of predictions for to-
night. A column doesn't seem to
be a column these days unless the
scribe sticks his neck out. so here
goes. With extreme caution, we
name Wilmington over Wilson, a.

sidering Wilmington's sudden squirt
of power in the past two games
the contest looks more like a toss
up.
Both clubs are expected to wage
an offensive game--that is, who
scores the most will win. 1t is al
most certain each one will bang
across n touchdown during the
of the tilt.
The visitors will be wearing
their traditional blue and gold
uniforms, while the Wildcats, who
have changed their costume for
the past three home games, will
put on white shirts and silver pants.
Coach Brogden is shifting his
starting lineup around to cope with
the varified box formation plays
Of Wilson. Finley Mcmillan has
been put at left end in place of
Bobby Stewart, Bill Kuhn is back
at his regular tackle post after
two weeks of injuries, Irwin Gore
will be the center at kickoff time
in place Of Don Hyatt, Cecil Dillon
has been given the nod over Bobby
Haas at right guard, and Brogden
still has not decided whether to
use Rudy Johnson, Jim Gibson, or
Louis "Rubba" Sykes at the left
half and fullback slots. Gibson has
been practicing with the second
string most of the week due to
slight leg injuries.
The strong visitors, who took
both Raleigh and Fayetteville "a
part earlier this season, have been
pointing toward the Wilmington
fracas as the game they must win
to consider their season a success.
