WADEMEN TO PLAY
CAMEC0CKS TODAY

DURHAM, Nov. 14-P,-Duke
University's Southern Confer
ence-leading Blue Devils and
South Cardinals Gamecocks,
champions of the Palmetto State,
meet in a football game here to-
morrow with injured stars absent
from both lineups.
Missing from the Duke start
ing team will be wingback Buddy
Mulligan and the Nos. l and 2
centers, Fletcher Wall and Carl
Parkinson. Jack Gleason, up

then and none by less than 81
points. In the six games Duke

Large Crowd To Witness
Carolina Maryland Tilt

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-(P)-I
A crowd of $1,000 - the largest
ever to see a college football
game in the nations capital -
is expected to watch North Caro-
lima play Maryland tomorrow.
These fans probably are turn
ing out for a lot Of reasons, but
chiefly, it seems, they're turning
out to watch the answer to this
question:
Is Maryland's Lu oambino as
good a back as North Cardinals
Charley Justice?
Now the fact that Maryland
has lost only once, to Duke, and
North Carolina has been beaten
but twice. by Texas and Wake
Forest, is pretty fair evidence
that neither has a one-man team.
Yet Gambino and Justice offer
quite a contrast.
Justice, is about as we'll known
a college back as the country has
today. AS a freshman last year,
he ran, kicked and passed so SUI
perbly that now it's bigger news
when Justice falters than when he
stars.
Gambino, was a freshman flop
last year. And he ear DO only
one thing well - run. He's one
of the nations leading ground
gamers, and he's tied with OAR
win Horn of Pepperdine as the
country's leading scorer Each
has "a points.
In one respect at least Mary
land already has the edge. Each
coach has come out with the
usual dismal appraisal of his
teams chances.
But Maryland's Jim Tatum
was by far the more dismal.
They'll win," said Tatum,
of his old alma mater, "by five
touchdowns."
Since that statement the
weatherman has suggested that
it might rain, and Tatum has re-

FARMVlLLE, $50

WALLACE, Nov. IA - The
Wallace Bulldogs defeated the
Farmville Red Devils, SIS to o,
here today in an East Central
conference contest played be-
fore a large crowd.

The Bulldogs scored two
touchdowns in the first quarter,
three in the second, one in the
third and two in the fourth

record by dropkicking four ex-
ira points. Locksmy, Knowles
and Carlton each scored a
touchdown for the Wallace
team.
Next Friday the Wallace
team will play Stedman here at
q o'clock in the final game OF
the season.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-15

Wilmington's best chance to
score came in the top of the
fourth quarter when Jim Glib
son intercepted Nub Smiths pass
on the Wilmington 40 and logged
it down to the Dogs q. The Cat
ground attack lost yardage and
on the fourth down Guiton
shared Crowley's pass and the
Bulldogs were off to touchdown
land with their greatest show OF
power in the game.
Marching from their own 80,
the visitors piled up four first
downs and their second touch
down of the night with Guiton
going over from the three Tor
the tally. Williams kicked the
point.
Following another pass inter
ception, this time by Mac
Yates, the Fayetteville team was
in possession of the ball in Will
mington territory as the game
ended.

ROCKINGHAM WINS
OVER WHITEVILLE'

WHITEVILLE, Nov. IA big
rugged Rockingham eleven dow
ned Earl Brinkley's Whiteville
Wolfpack here tonight, 20 to 6.
The game was played in near
ly freezing weather and was the
seasons final for the locals who
have won five and lost five.
Whiteville outweighed badly,
played hard all of the way, how
ever the Rockingham team,
CO, ched by Bill Eutsler, scored
late in the first period when
Wesley Smith, Rockingham
quarterback, went over from
the Pack 6 yard line after Clegg
Yates had blocked Clavin Smiths
punt on the 80, and drives by
Howell set up the score.
Whiteville tailed on the open
ing play in the second quarter
when Eldridge Williamson inter
copied Doug Aliens pass on the
visitors As and went over un-
touched.
Soon after Howell went 80
yards to the Pack Is, Captain
John Moss carried the pigskin
over from the l yard line.
The Pack played fairly good
ball until late in the final period
when the hard drives Of Moss
again gave Rockingham the
touchdown. This time he went
over from the three yard line.
Outstanding players for White
vile were Eldridge Williamson,
Joe Inman, James FARRELL, Felix
Smith, Jack Vereen.
Yates and Howell were out
standing for Rockingham.

off is for 2 p. m. (EST).
The Baptists of Coach Doug

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-P-When a college football
team reaches the middle of November undefeated or even
at the top of its league, it goes without saying that it has
the stuff that makes champions.
For this reason a half dozen games draw the top billing

could be just as important and possibly more exciting.

Montana, technically a threat
to Southern CALIFORNIA; lead in
the Pacific Coast loop, likely will
find California too big a barrier
to hurdle. California is tied for
the third spot with U. CT. A.,
which meets Washington.
The 10th Yale rinceton game

importance in the east because
Yale still could win the Ivy lea

Cornell on Thanksgiving day.
Other tradition-loaded games
on the eastern slate include Cor

Wesleyan-Trinity-the only clash
between two unbeaten and un:

The newly-acquired Eastern conference crown took on

The FayetteV1Ile win over the
Wildcats closed the conference
hooks for both grid teams and it
left the Wilmington outfit in a
lower standing than at the end
of last seasons league slate. A
tie with Wilson is the only blot
IN the record of Coach Bill Dole's
Bulldogs who now point to a
date with the Western confer
ence champion to decide the state
pigskin title. Wilmington's final
conference score stands at two
wins, three defeats and one tie.
Johnnie Guiton, the boy who
brought the championship to
Fayetteville with his play against
the Raleigh Caps was again the
leading man in the Fayetteville
championship performance. The
Bulldog backfield ace led his
mates in carrying the ball and
was a giant on defense, inter-
cepting three of the five Wildcat
passes which ended in the wrong
mans arms.
The statistics point out clear
ly the Fayetteville superiority,
although during the first half,
Brodgen's lads almost matched
the visitors yard for yard on
the ground. Fayetteville ended
Up with a net gain of AS yards
rushing to Wilmington's net of
81. In the first half, the Dogs
got A through the line and the
Cats picked up 43.
But it was the Fayetteville
work in the pass int cception de-
partment that paid the biggest
dividends for the Cumberland
county club. The first touch
down came via the air route, but
It was an interrogation that start
ed the scoring machine in mo-
tion. And again in the fourth
quarter, a pass interrogation paw
cd the way to the paydirt for the
conference leaders. Johnnie Gui-
ton made both interruptions.
On the Wilmington side of the
ledger, it was Homer Brewer
and Big Jim Gibson who car
ried the brunt of the attack. Doc
Venters, Bill Kuhn, and Irwin
Gore were the leaders in a New
Hanover line that fought all the
way.
Wilmington's Irwin Gore kick
ed off to Fayetteville to open the
game and the Bulldogs started
rolling early. An exchange of
punts gave Fayetteville the oval
on their own 40. Four consecu-
tive first downs placed the ball
on the Cat 8, but here the New
Hanover line stood firm and
drove the invaders back to the
IA where the locals took over.
But the Bulldogs grabbed a Cat
aerial were soon knocking again
and were in scoring position on
the Cat Is as the opening stanza
faded.
The first six-pointer came on
the first play Of the second quar-
ter, with pesky Johnnie Guiton
Tipping one to Dave Butler who
took it over his shoulder in the
end zone for the marker. Ike

Fayetteville led 60.
For the remainder of the first
half, neither team threatened al

to rack up two first downs.
Several penalties and Wildcat
aggressiveness forced the Bull
dogs down to their own 81 in
