DEMON DEAC0NS
FORCED INDOORS

WAKE FOREST, Oct. 2o-R)
Rainy weather drove Wake
Forests Demon Deacons in
doors today for a dummy
scrimmage in light equipment
instead of the rough outdoor
session that coach D. c. Walker
had planned.
The Deacons worked on de-
tense against William and Mary
plays and then ran their own
offensive formations for a while
in preparation for Saturdays
meeting with William and
Mary.
Varsity end Ed Duncan, who
suffered a badly wrenched knee
against Duke last Saturday,
missed the practice, and Walk
err was fearful that Duncan
would not be in shape for play
Saturday.
Carl Haggard, second string
wingback, was in the infirmary
with a bad cold, and Don
Hipps, second string blocking
back, and Bill George, reserve
tackle and kickoff specialist,
were nursing injuries suffered
in the George Washington

We would like to add our vote to those members of the
Fraternity who selected Jack to receive the trophy. We know
of no one who has contributed more time, effort and patience to
the Boys Brigade during the past year than Jack Hart.
During the early spring the owners of the Wilmington Pr
rates baseball club met with Jimmy Copeland, executive director
of the Brigade and Harold Cutler, physical director and laid plans
for the organization of a Brigade Pirate Knot Hole gang.
1t was a splendid gesture on the part of the baseball club.
Jack Hart took over the boys and admitted them to all of
the Pirate home games. He worked with them and assigned vari-
Gus boys to duties Of chasing foul balls and helping the baseball
club in many ways.
A member of the Brigade Boys club and later a member of
the Senior Fraternity, Hart has been interested in the Rrieade
activities for more than rs years.
We feel that Bill Montgomery will be pr I'D to learn the
trophy was awarded to Jack Hart. The awarding of the trophy
each year is his way of expressing appreciation to the leaders in
the Brigade Boys work.
Jack Hart has done a swell job and he can now realize
that his efforts have been recognized by his fellow members.
Congratulations, Jack Hart. 1t is men like yourself that
are helping to mould the future of Americas youth.

WHITEVILLE SET

loss to Tabor City, Whiteville
High school Wolfpack today put
the past in the past and settled
down to work for Friday nights
fracas with a fast improving
Chadbourn Panther.
The Pack came through the
bitter district championship loss
to the Red Devils without mis-
hap, with the exception of Co.
captain Joe Inman. The versa
tile athlete had a recurrence of
an old rib injury, which has
bothered him since the opening
of the season, when he and a
Devil backfield man collided on
a pass play late in the contest.
He was taken to a local hospi-
tai but was released after a
check-up. He is expected to be
ready to 60 against the Pan
theirs.
Earl Brinkley, mentor Of the
locals, is still having trouble
with his wing positions. Against
Tabor City he shifted his two
co-captains, Joe 1nman and
Cal Smith to the end spots, and
they both played a whale of a
game. However, in doing so
Brink weakened his eleven in
the tackle and backfield, as was
shown in the game Thursday
night.
It is not known at this time
whether or not he will leave
Smith and Inman on the wings,
but some changes are antici-
pated. Several members Of the
Junior Varsity have been show
ing up well in late contests and
may be in line for promotion.
