INLET IMPROVEMENT

The improvement of the channel
in Oregon Inlet is now matter
of time, and when the Engineers
Corps can get on the job of letting
a contract. The law whereby con-
gress has provided $575, 900 has
been passed. 1t represents the cul-
mination of years of campaigning
by local interests and the whole
hearted support of Congressman
H. C. Bonner in Washington. Well
informed people believe that the
improvement of the inlet will be
closely followed by construction of
a bridge one and half miles long
across Oregon Inlet, connecting
two important segments of North
Cardinals Outer Banks; the North
Banks and the South Banks, or
Hatteras Island.

YOU BE THE
QUARTERBACK
BY WARREN GAER


1t has been raining heavily
during the Davidson-VMI game
and the only scores of the I'M
usual 2-2 game have been safe
ties produced by the weather.
Davidson has lost its first two
centers by injury and the center
who is in the game is not a re-
liable paSser on a punt. You, the
Davidson quarterback, have the
ball on your own 49-yard line,
10 yards from your left sideline,
fourth down and four.
Your captain has called time
out and has argued with you
that with 3 minutes of the
game to go, he does not want to
risk punt and wants you to call
a running play. However as
quarterback. you have the final
decision.

But each round Mrs. Barry

In the State event Mrs. Barry

At College Park last night

State troopers made sure no

something else. Those leaving

Andy Farkas, one-time Red

"a successful insurance man here
and surprisingly transferred to
Detroit, is reported to be a key
figure in the University of De-

There was talk, you remember,
about the Titans going big time
in football, but settling for a
good brand of the less empha-
sized type.
They say Andy had a lot to
do with that decision, and that
university officials offered him
the job of director of athletics.
Farkas, however, couldn't spare
the time from his insurance
business, but still does much

resent the fact that the Lions
let him get away to the Red

It's not surprising that pro
football players aren't particu-
larry anxious for junior to follow
i'm their aching footsteps. One
glance at the costly dentures is
enough to understand why the
old gent says it's okay IF the
kid wants to play football :.
but :"
Johnny Carson, the Redskins
paSs-snagging end, is one who
would prefer that a son of his
try another field. John prefers
golf himself, and wouldn't have
touched a football if the choice
had been up to him. But he was
a strong, husky high school boy
and there was talk that he didn't
like to play rough. 1t didn't
bother Carson, but his dad didn't
like it, so more or less to uphold
the family honor, he pulled on a
football suit and showed 'em.
Oddly, John got to like foot
ball pretty well, so when his
father one day said he didn't
care any more whether the boy
played football or not. John de-
cided he would continue with
the University of Georgia eleven.
And when he had a chance to
play pro football he accepted
that, too. After intending to
play only a couple of years,
Carson now has reached the
point where he's talking about
Just couple more years"
Which is all right with the Red
skins.

boy and he even so much as
looks at a football think I'll
