command of the hall game from the opening whistle With Lafferty Ed Armfield Tom CorI bin and Fred Dennis collaborating in the backfield Lafferty almost always with the ball under his arm the Wildcats were forever on the jump The Wolfpack on the other hand was an imposing looking array of athletes The Notre Dame shift clicked well the team handled the ball with deftness the timing was there But the attack was plain and simple to the well-coached Davidsons who throttled the enemy's advances as they cracked the red shirts right and left many times before they reached the line of scrimmage Craftily the Wildcats used three effective defensive set-ups shifting from one to the other State was guilty of some weird mental football Once Ed Berlinaj nabbed a punt as he stood on his goal line with the Davidsons swarming all over him He got it out seven yards when 20 yards would have been the gift of the code State had the ball as the first half closed with the seconds ticking away and persisted in ramming the line right On up to the gong Ed Entwifitie muffed a punt in the environs of his goal line instead of letting it roll the lapse paving the way for the lone Davidson touchdown Armlield made the score with incredible ease Davidson made only two substitutions Its backfield was kept Intact throughout One State player after another was jerked with replacements sent in by flocks State lost the game but gave the crowd a thrill with its spectacular aerial charge late in the game Cowboy Robinson was sent in to do most of the passing He fired some beauties One long lateral-forward pass that clicked Berlinski to Schwerdt to Derlinski was fancier than anything the famed Colgate passing team showed at Durham State got its two points on a safety which the Davidsons willingly granted during that hectic spirited last half drive which all but brought home the spoils Berlinski was State's biggest threat He was lugged off the field Injured late in the game The Wildcats escaped unhurt Coach Doc Newton said We have been mighty lucky with our boys They came back to school in such swell condition I suppose that's one reason We hope to have a good game with the Navy" Navy scouts appear concerned over the Wildcats They were on hand at Greensboro when the Wildcats played Duke and again at Raleigh Saturday night They took copious notes and shook their heads sadly as Lafferty galloped

Meet BEES SPLIT TWIN BILL another for the experts the just concluded major league baseball season probably ontdid any other branch of athletics for the upsets It furnished and the 'breaks" it handed out Leading off with the unlooked for pennant victoria of the Yankees and Giants a pair of clubs that weren't rated a chance in preseason books the campaign which ended today came up with enough surprises to make it unique in the games history Nearly as unexpected as the champion combinstiont were the return of pre-depression crowds biggest in years all down the line the performance records shattered with the Yankees leading the way on a near-complete revision of the books the collapse of the million-dollar Boston Bed So the chat ion Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tig- i ers and the astonishing rise of the supposedly weak White Sox Senators and Cincinnati Reds as well as the first wilt of the national leaguers in the all-star game series HURLING FEATS Featuring the individual performances were the grand hurling of Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean outstanding in what was otherwise largely mediocre pitching on all sides and the unofficial batting title victories of Luke Appling of the White Sox and Paul Waner of the Pirates The final results of the pennant chases in each league gave form a fearful beating The Yankees were rated a fourth place likelihood But the Yanks with Rookie Joe Dimaggio proving a sensational success and Lou Gehrig having his best year developed a tremendous batting punch and tight fielding defense while the Tigers took a series of bad breaks in the losses of Hank Greenberg Mickey Cochrene and early in the season Schoolboy Rowe to give up their honors A fine finish enabled them to come back for second place At the same time the lied Sox turning out to be probably the biggest flop in history for the investment involved were never in the running after mid-season winding up sixth below the 500 mark STANFORD YIELDS Stanford minus all its headline stars of last season yielded to Santa Clara 13-0 as the fore-runner of a shift in the Pacific Coast's balance of gridiron power Southern California meanwhile served notice of its revival by bombarding Oregon State 38 to 7 Washington's Huskies although yielding to the superior power of the Minnesota Gophers 14 to 7 Indicated they will be a potent factor in the battle for coast conference honors Minnesota did not notch Its 18th consecutive triumph over a three-year stretch without a struggle at Seattle but the Galloping Gophers probably will gather momentum as they go along Bernie

year Perry took the title in 1932 1933 and 1934 Budge's victory served in a minor measure to atone for his defeat by Perry twice before in tournament play this year first at Wimbledon and then in the

Oklahoma southpaw who just about single-handed gave the Giants the pennant with 26 victories 16 of them in a row has been picked to face the big berthas of Lou Gehrig Bill Dickey Joe Di Maggio and company in the opening ttlt Just who will oppose Carl was uncertain tonight although big Charley Buffing Yankee right-bander and the only Yank sharpshooter to deliver 20 wins this season seemed to have the inside track For a time Joe McCarthy toyed with the idea of sending Lefty Gomez against Hubbell The senor looked like his old self in firing a two-hitter against Washington recently but in his last start Saturday he was so wild McCarthy is believed to have shifted back to Buffing Mississippi Defeat Loop's First Upset Louisiana State Auburn Georgia Tech Pile Up impressive Scores in

conquest of the University of Mississippi It was an auspicious debut for the new Tulane coaching regime headed by Lowell (Red) Dawson one of Bierman's star pupils It upset calculations in which "Ole Miss" has been conceded the edge and sends the Green Wave rolling hopefully into another tough conference rival Auburn this week at New Orleans Such other southeastern powers as Alabama Vanderbilt Tennessee Georgia Tech Mississippi State and Georgia posted varying margins of triumph Alabama squared accounts for its tie with Howard last season by rolling up a 34-0 score Georgia was pressed to turn back Mercer 15 to 6 The expanded Southern conference produced a series of surprising developments Duke's 6-0 victory over Colgate in the day's intersectional headliner at Durham was not unexpected but neighboring rivals of Wallace Wade's good-looking conference champions caught a pair of tartars The University of North Carolina beaten only by Duke last year was forced to stage a big

JVay rrwENty SIX THOUSAND saw the Durham game The press box I and announcing booths were jammed with celebrities Seven bands played There was a parade in the morning with one business concern sporting an elaborate Rose Bowl float which must have been highly embarrassing to Coach Wallace Wade and his Duke forces The Dukes acarcely showed anything in the game to begin any Rose Bowl talk at this early hour But they were good enough Andy Kerr's famed razzle-dazzle really proved to be a simple double wing-back attack that as more powerful than deceptive To the crowd's surprise the maroon-clad gridders from the Chenango pulled no rabbits out of hats did not vanish either their helmets or the football The mad magicians from the New York lake country were Just fair well-reached football players who lacked the experience and reserve strength of their opponents The Dukes themselves were not eurprised Duke scouted Colgate as early as lest year and the Duke scouts saw the Kerr razzle-dazzle was at the basis orthodox The Duke scouts thought the Blue Devils would be a better team What Colgate did have was a mighty good fast charging line with good backers-up And it had in Whit Jaeger a runner who was always a threat But Duke had its Ace Parker Honey Hackney and Eric Tipton who also could run Tipton scored the lone Duke touchdown It was anybody's ball game during the first half In the second half Duke was more cohesive more spirited showed more punch With such fellows as Dan Hill and Joe Brunansky and Joe Cardwell leading the line attack and defense the Dukes put on their big push It was a typical early season game The Dukes haven't arrived yet But they are coming After the game Coach Wade at home informally to reporters and Intimate friends said: ''We didn't show much punch I hope we'll get better I was mighty glad to see Carolina win out I understand Carolina has an awfully good squad And Ray Wolfe seems to be a dandy fellow They'll be ready when they get to us Don't worry about that And I was also glad that Colgate got away with that lateral pass punt return since the team had been advertised so much as a razzle-dazzler" ATLANTA' Sept as a season

drives ever to climb from fifth place on July 15 to the top at the finish The Cubs show a mpionship possibilities through July but underwent a disastrous hitting slump which ob viously overstrained the prize pitching staff and barely managed a tie for second by whipping the Cards today The Cardinals heavy preseason favorites ran into the toughest kind of luck had to finish up the season without a single dependable pitcher to help the over worked Dizzy Dean and were lucky to take a tie for second place The Senators White Sox and Reds showing vast improvement turned out to be definite future pennant possibilities The fireworks for the rear among the players were provided largely by Van Mungo who staged a nneman re- 'hellion from the Brooklyn Dodgers because of dissatiefaction Over the sup- 1 port of his teammate: Bah Berman who walked out in protest that a bonus the Reds promised him for "hustling' wasn't forthcoming and Wes Ferrell whose temperament cost him a $10o0 fine for

today with a 13-0 victory over a strong Hardin-Simmons eleven Charlotte Boy Scores First Touchdown 'rlAROLINA'S TAR HEELS had to pull the hall game out of the fire to get a 14-7 decision over Wake Forest in Charlotte's new stadium Late in the first period Dallas Morris Deacon back returned a Carolina punt 88 yards for a touchdown and then kicked the extra point Many thought it nice that a Charlotte boy scored the first touchdown in the new stadium But the Tar Heels who were sluggish during the early part of the scrap did not think it nice And Carolina supporters grew anxious as the game rolled on and the seven-point Deacon lead held The Carolinians lacked the timing in their offense The formations introduced by the new 'coaching staff headed by Ray Wolf failed to click It was a far cry from the smooth running offensive machinery of the Snavely regime That touchdown run caught the Tar Heels flatfooted They were also caught flatfooted on several quick kicks by Hobo Daniel booting the ball from short punt formation They looked considerably less than a four-alarm fire while the Deacons were smart and cagey and played a bang-up game Before the contest was over however Tar Heel supporters were greatly cheered The Chapel Hill forces pulled themselves together after intermission shoved over two touchdowns and chalked up a victory The customers left mumbling "Carolina has it all right no doubt about that" )3ut only words of praise could be heard also for the Demon Deacons Tom Burnette Art Ditt Dick Buck and Andy Bershak were among the standout performers for the Tar Heels And Jim Hutchins had his rnonants too Buck made a sensational catch of a pass on the goal hoe to account for Carolina's first score Buck played under the handicap of a had injury Crowell Little scored the other Carolina touchdown Bershak's blocking was elegant The Tar Heels went on many marches but a smart Deacon team took advantage of their faltering and fumbling and threw them back on their heels Boots Mumford Descon center gave them fits Power OTHER RESULTS These results coupled with Clemson's unexpectedly decisive victory over Virginia Polytech 20-0 and Virginia Military's equally impressive triumph over South Carolina 244 forecast a wide-open race among Duke's conference challengers Davidson's upset victory is of tipitelid interest because it takes a shot this cont tog Saturday at the Navy The Midshipmen highly touted this year had to apply pressure to down William and Mary 12 to 6 yesterday They will have to polish up their attack this week to avoid more serious trouble with southern rivals Along the eastern front most favorites rolled up impressive acmes at the expense of sparring mates but Brown and Lafayette were the victims of surprisingly decisive defeat Both figured to show the benefit of sophomore strength but Brown was routed 27-0 by Connecticut State while Lafayette playing its first game under the coaching of Ernie Nevem took a 19-6 lacing from

hand through the entire first half twice within the visitors 15-yard line but a fumble on their own 15-yard line at the beginning of the second period proved their undoing Huntersville made 11 first
