Meet The Tabor City Red Devils Football
Eleven, Highest Scoring Team In The State

iron team within the boundaries
of North Carolina, during the
regular S ason sched lie, accord
ing to a statewide check-up by
rtS VIZ lerS. .
They were so intensely inter-
ested in capturing the District 4
Class A crown, that not one of the
thin Red aggregation noticed the
huge amount of points the local
powerhouse was piling up. How
ever, when the pre-game stories
on the Devil-Henderson clash for
the Eastern N. c. semi-final title
were printed, the check-up be-
gan. Although the boys in REQ
lost to Henderson in the title
fray, the Bulldogs knew that they
had been in a battle as they had
nothing but praise for the gal
liant Devils, who entered the con-
test outweighed approximately
20 pounds per man.
In spite of the fact that they
scored only two touchdowns in
their last brace of games, the
Red Devils had enough margin
to coast in with the state point
making diadem, having total
of 259; while Fayetteville's
mighty Bulldog eleven, AA East
ern Conference winners, came
in second with 243.
But back to meeting the per-
sonnel of the Red Devils. Let's
start in the back row, left to
right, of the above picture with
Coach Sill Caruso, the congenial
New Jersey Italian, who came to
the Border Town straight from
his service hitch to put the local
school back on an even footing,
athletically, with others of it's
size; winning District 4 titles in
both football and basketball in
its first year of Class A competi-
ton.
Next is Waldon Adams; Harold
Ward, the "never-say-die" full
back; Orben Fowler, varsity end;
Captain Ted Fipps and Fred
Soles, both of whom finished the
season on the injured list (Fipps
being one of the better quarter
backs in action in the section,
while Soles would have been
among the top scorers in the
state since he had 80 odd points
in his half season of play); Dock
back; Andy Jernigan,
who started as a fullback but
Finished as a hard-driving half
back, the hero of the District title
win over Whiteville; Bill Spivey,
back; Ralph Dyson; Assistant
Manager Bill White.

Rogers, Drew Mills, back; Harold
Fonvielle, blocking back; Earl

GRANGE MASTER
TO GIVE TESTIMONY
Harry Caldwell Scheduled
For Appearance In Behalf
OF Cooperatives

GREENSBORO, Nov. 24-(P-
North Carolina State Grange
will be represented at House
Ways and Means committee hear
ings on taxation this week by
Harry B. Caldwell of Greensboro,
Grange master, who left for
Washington tonight.
According to information which
he received here today, Caldwell
will probably appear Wednesday
at committee sessions for the
study of tax laws as they affect
farm co-operatives.
Caldwell originally was sched-
uled to present his testimony
November IA, however, and said
last night that the committees
large backlog of witnesses might
again delay his appearance.
The Grange official said that
his testimony is prepared and
that a copy already has been
filed with the committee. He add
ed that no part of the statement
may be divulged until it has been
presented.
AS regards farm co-operatives,
however, Caldwell cited the
fact that both the state and ma
tional Grange organizations have
supported the co-operatives
throughout the years.

in the lineup.
In compiling their dazzling 259
point total, the Deviles pursued
the following course:-Tabor City
81, Dillon, S. c. 21 (tie); TC AZ,
New Hanover JV's 0; TIC 35;
Chadbourn 0; TIC 35; Myrtle
Beach 0; TC II, Fairmont 13;
TC 30, Bladenboro 0; TC 21,
Whiteville 7 District 4 title con-
test); TIC At; Hallsboro o; TIC z,
Henderson 26; TC 7, Elizabeth
town 7 (tie). In accomplishing
the above feat. the boys of Sill
Caruso finished the year with
exactly the same won and lost
record as in 1916; winning 6
games, losing 2, and tieing 2. The
outstanding feature of their great
scoring parade was the amount
of points after touchdown that
they were able to convert.
They set possible North
Carolina record by converting,
consecutively, the point after the
first 19 six-pointers they scored
this season. In all, the Devils
tailed 38 tbs and converted
the point 81 times; giving them
the remarkable PAT average of
.816.
There was an ironic touch to
the extra point drive, too, as the
Carusoians, having
10 straight times; went
into battle against Fairmont.
The Robson eleven downed the
locals, with the Devils failing to
convert for the first time in AT,
and the two points they missed
sent them down to their first de-
feat.
If it had not been for the fact
that injuries hampered the Dis
trict Champs throughout the
schedule, no one can tell Just how
many points they might have
scored. With stars like Fred Soles
and Captain Fipps, who was out
with wrenched knee in mid-sea-
son, on the sidelines, the scor-
ing punch of the boys from the
Border Town was considerably
weakened.
Hoping that you have enjoyed
this informal introduction to the
Tar Heel states football scoring
leaders for the 1947 season, the
fans of Tabor City assure every-
one as we'll as the boys in the

US. Charges Russians
Profiteer in Germany
BY the Associofed Press

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The American
Military Government accused the
Russians yesterday of channelling
tax-free German cigarettes into the
lucrative black market and reaping
a rich reward in foreign currency
gold and diamonds.
The report said the maneuver was
accomplished by Rasno Export, a
Russian export corporation directly
responsible to the Soviet Ministry of
Foreign Trade, which, it said, has
the apparent purpose of earning dol
lars and other effective international
means of payment"
The report said Rasno was "a
wholesale seller OF cigarettes, leather
goods, toys, watches, chemicals. tex
tiles, surgical instruments, glassware,
household articles and other goods
produced in the Soviet zone"
The study estimated 100000
cigarettes daily we're produced under
such brand names as Drug, Stella
Orient Derby and Mayhower," and
that perhaps half were exported to
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and
other countries.
At the Berlin Offices of Rasno, Gig
arettes are sold "only in exceptional
cases" for German marks, the re-
port continued, saying they usually
are sold in large lots for dollars
Swiss francs. gold pieces and gems
The price of Rasno cigarettes is
only about a third of that charged
by the black market for American
cigarettes.

Wallace Asks Control
Hits 'WastefuI' Arms
BY the Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 22-For-
mer Vice President Henry A. Wal
lace criticized what he termed
"wasteful ornaments expenditures, y
declared he was opposed to the
Truman doctrine, and advocated
controls here at home" in an ad-
dress here last night.
Speaking at a mass meeting spon-
sored by the Southern Conference
of Human Welfare, Mr.. Wallace
urged defeat Of the universal mill
tary training bill. He said money
spent on such program could be
used TO serve democracy more eff
fectively in other ways.
"Wasteful armaments expendi-
lures =" he said, ARE more
dangerous economic controls than
legislation to provide for equitable
distribution of goods at reasonable
prices"
Mr.. Wallace also told his audience
that "the possibility of Communism
exists in the prospects of depression
not in the scenarios of motion pic
lures or activities OF American Com
muniSts."
Earlier at news conference, the
former cabinet member said he be-
lieved that if the Republicans nomi-
mated Gen. Eisenhower next year
the general could defeat President
Truman in the race for the presi-
dency.
