Rivaling brand-new Hammond
High as the success story of the
year in scholastic football is that
of High Point, which is the only
team to beat Hammond. Field
ing a squad for just the second
year, High Point elected tc
plunge into the Maryland BIZ
County League this fall and sc
far has won four of five games
splitting a pair of league en-
gagements.
When High Point pasted Bla-
Idensburg, 1870. last week it be-
came necessary to find out what
expression Coach Bob Foster is
wearing these days. Coming of
"a 2-5-2 record against a weaker
schedule last season, the Univer.

Cincinnati Team
Due 10 Confuse
Tomorrow

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 10 (Spe-
ciaD Navy expects to see a
small army of Cincinnati ball
carriers armed with bookful of
plays in tornorrow's game here.
And if the names and numbers
are confusing in some cases the
midshipmen may be excused. for
Cincinnati has two Gordons, two
Johnsons and two Del RosaS, but
only the Del RoSas are brothers.
The others are unrelated.
Walt Gordon is Cincinnati'S
busiest ball carrier with lao
yards on SO tries, while Jack
Gordon has carried IA times for
"a yards. The boy with the best
average, however. is George
(Babe) Ruth. who picked up So
yards on Is trips for a 81 aver
age.
Bob Del Rosa, with 10l yards
on 81 tries, is Cincinnati's second
leading ground gamer, but
brother Gus, the teams center,
is rated the Bearcats' best all
around player. In Cincinnati
Gus is rated All-America mate
rial and is considered a cinch to
go into pro football next year.
He's %, stands 5-feet-l0 and
weights 1870 pounds. Not par
ticularly big, especially for his
position. Gus, nevertheless. hits
with authority, according to his
supporters, and may be trou-
blemaker for Navy.
JOhnsOns Both Ends
The johnson boys, Gene and
Paul, play end and excel in
pass catching. Gene shared
three for 81 yards and two
touchdowns in Cincinnati's first
four games. Paul caught two for
SO yards.
Joe Morrison. with 10 compile
tons in 80 attempts for 2O4
yards, is the Bearcats' leading
lpasser, but Coach George Black
burn evidently believes there is
strength in numbers because to
date he's used four men on the
throwing end and seven re-
ceivers. This is in addition to
nine ball carriers.
Cincinnati was due in WASH
ington late today. It's 140-piece
marching band, a colorful, we'll
drilled outfit, and more than
1000 supporters are expected to
arrive tomorrow morning.
Dress Rehearsal Today
Meanwhile. Coach Eddie Erde-
llatz ordered a dress rehearsal of
Navy's entire strategy today,
with Vince Monte back at his
lold fullback post and Sophomore
Dick Dagampat on the second
team. The switch is expected to
add more punch to Nays
ground game.
Cincinnati's record shows
three losses against a 7-6 win
over Tulsa. The Bearcats bowed
Ito Dayton. 1918: to College of
Pacific, 21-15, and to Xavier,
34-14.
Navy clobbered William and
Mary, 39-14: edged Cornell,
lao, and bowed to Tulane last
week, 21-6.

Slaugh is a 2l0-pound junior

Delaware Safety Council. people
in danger of drowning usually
grasp at any chance to save their
lives" he said.
It's too bad walkers and drivers
don't always show the same good
sense. Any day in the week you
can see scores of them ignoring
the Signs of Life as they fight
their way through heavy traffic.
Travel on modern streets and
highways is rarely smooth sailing.
Even on lightly Travelled thorough
fares, hidden dangers often men
ace the unwary. The Signs of
Life-traffic signs, signals, and
pavement markings are placed
along the road to help travellers
chart a safe course at all times.
The fellow who ignores them
makes as much sense as the fell
low who tosses aside life belt
in a turbulent sea.
This month the Delaware Safe
ty Council and the National Safe
ty Council are sponsoring a pro-
gram to make Delaware citizens
Signs of Life conscious. Through
this program they hope to get
people to do two things: To Know
the Signs of Life and to Obey
them.
Both-~objectives are of equal
Importance. You can't obey the
signs if you don't know what they
mean, and knowing their mean
ings won't help you if you don't
obey them," said Mr.. Ashton.
It's the duty of every citizen
to learn the meanings of the
signs, signals, and pavement
markings used in Delaware. It's
