N0LFPACK PLAYS
ROCKINGHAM TEAM
BY JIGGS POWERS
Star Sports Correspondent

WHITEVILLE, Nov. ia
tough battle is expected by
Coach Earl Brinkley's White
vile Wolfpack in Fridays bat
tie with Billy Eutsler's Rocking
ham eleven, which will
take place in Legion Memorial
Stadium, with the kickoff
coming at 8 pm. It will lower
the curtain on the Packs gri-
diron activities for the 1947 sea-
son.
Six boys probably will be
singing their swan song. Proba-
bly,, because if nothing unfor-
seen happens, this will be the
last game that they will play
under the Blue and White stand
ard.
Five of the six have elegibi-
lily for more play, but are
members of the senior class
and likely will graduate. These
are Robert West, Eldred Will
hanson; both backs; and Billy
Davis, guard; John Hasty,
tackle; and James Carroll, CEN
ter. The other, Co-Captain Joe
Inman, who has done yoeman
duty in the Pack backfield all
season, is surely playing his
last season because of the age
ruling.
All of the above boys have
been outstanding in play during
the At season. They, along with
the remainder of the Whiteville
lineup, will be fighting hard,
come Friday evening, to bring
the season to a close with a
final victory. To date, the locals
have won S and lost 4 contests.
Eutsler, former Whiteville
High School and Wake Forest
College star, will bring a big,
rugged eleven to the local sta
dunn. Billy has always kept his
team in the thick of the battle
for the flag in his conference,
and has ever kept his boys
pointing for the annual game
with the Wolfpack. This season
is no exception, as far as the
conference race was concerned,
His team was knocked out oil
the fight by the strong Sanford
Yellow Jackets.

Red Devils Deadlock
With Elizabethtown
Yellow Jackets, II

EL1ZABETHTOWN, Nov. 13-
The Tabor City Red Devils were
forced to come from behind here
today to gain a z to 7 tie with a
much larger Elizabethtown elev-
en-.
The first half was slow with
neither team displaying any ac-
ton. Midway the third quarter
the Jackets tailed when a long
pass from Cole to Clark moved
the ball to the four yard line
from where Eric Clark plunged
over. Cole booted the extra
point.
The Tabor City eleven came
back early in the fourth period
with Andy Jernigan scoring from
the nine yard line. Jernigan also
kicked the extra point to dead
lock the score.

STATE CRlDDERS
HOLD LONG DRILL

RALEIGH, Nov. 13-P-Coach
Beattie Feathers worked his N.
C. State college Wolfpack until
after dark today in preparation
for meeting Wake Forest Satur-
day.
The Wolfpack coach received
more bad news from his trainer
as the result Of yesterdays rough
work.
Reserve tackle Pemberton
Hobbs of Raleigh received a pull
ed ligament in his right knee,
which will keep him out of ac-
ton against Wake Forest and
possibly for the rest of the sea-
son. Freshman center John Mar
tin received a broken nose and
he also won't be able to play

Washington VS.. UCLA-If the
Uclans don't try to loo ahead
to their important Nov. q
struggle with Southern Cal. they
should have no trouble, al
though Washington is improv-
ing. A kindly nod to UCLA.
Mississippi State VS.. Louisi-
ana State-what's happened to
that LSU club, which was sup
posed to burn up the Southeast
ern conference? Little to choose
between these two. Out Of the
hat, Mississippi State.
Arkansas VS.. Southern Metho-
distributing is safe in the
Southwest Conference, but SMU
has negotiated it's biggest hur-
die and is heading for the Cot
ton bowl. No other choice
here. Southern Methodist.
Holy Cross VS.. Columbia

their chance for the ivy league
crown but have a habit of treat
ing outsiders roughly, as Army

Minnesota VS.. 1owa-These

should be worth the money. One
fat vote for Minnesota.
Montana VS.. differentiation

tough. California.
Texas A. and M. VS.. Rice
both teams lost to Southern

Oklahoma needs this one to stay

Johnny Guiton, a 154-pound right

Fayetteville's touchdowns in the

The Wildcats will put on the
field the following choices:
Homer Brewer, right halfback;
Bill Kuhn, the fine 215-pound
left tackle; Doc Venters, CO.
captain and right guard; and big
Jim Gibson, the INCREASING
fullback.
Fayetteville High holds the adj
vantage Of experience against
MINIS as Coach Dole has eight
first stringers from his 1916 club
compared with five of the Wild
cats. The Bulldogs boast a
marked superiority on the ends
with the brilliant Sheriff. and
the almost as fine pass receiver.
Dave Butler, back. Wilmington
has been forced to shift a 1916
tackle, Lloyd Honeycutt, to one
flank and alternate Bob Lewis,
Linwood Taylor, Fritz Stelljes,
and Billy Quarles at the other
slot.
New Hanover High will be
cut to stretch their win streak
over the Bulldogs to three to-
