Punts figured from line of scrimmage. BY ANTHONY J. McKEVLIN. Tennessee's vaunted Vols gave State's Wolfpack the old one-two in early minutes of their fight at Riddick Stadium yesterday afternoon, and that early advantage proved the only difference between the clubs when the scoring was added up at the end of: a battle waged on a hot afternoon before a turnout estimated at 12,000. The final count was 13-0, and that was the count after nine minutes of play.

Bartholomew Goes 80. Tennessee, always clever fellows at bringing back kickoffs, demonstarted that Major Bob Neyland still is adroit at teaching that phase of the grid business. State opened the game by kicking off, and Sam Bartholomew, superstitious captain of the Vols, returned handsomely for 80 yards to within five and a half yards of State's goal. He had a sizeable convoy until he reached midfield, where he burst into the clear and headed goalward. State's John Savini, guard, ran him down and threw him out of bounds a bit less than six yards shy of the goal.

The Vols needed three plays to over. Len Coffman made a yard, and then about a foot. On third up down, Box Foxx, traveling to the right on a reverse, sliced over for touchdown. The game was just a minute and a half old. George Cafego's placekick try for point was blocked by Savini.

Tennessee kicked off; Art Rooney fumbled on State's second scrimmage play, when tackled by Marsh Shires, and the ball was covered by Coffman of the Vols at State's 35. The Techs wouldn't give, and Cafego punted into the end-zone. State kicked on third down. and it was Tennessee's ball at its 37. Vels Get No.

2. From here the Vols traveled 63 yard eight plays--for their secscore. Bad Cafego really was bad news for the Techs in this scoring advance. Bad News rolled for 15 yards, and was halted by Andy Pavlovsky. On the next play, Cafego slipped through the right of State's defense for a few yards and then lateraled to Bartholomew, who carried to the State 31- for a total gain of 17 yards.

Cafego skirted the left side of State's defense for 11 yards. Foxx made four, and Cafego did the same. Cafego then blasted to State's nine for a first-down. Enter the Breezer. Foxx, going wide to the left, was met by Dick East-and Foxx applied just about the most forceful arm seen in these parts in a long, long while.

Foxx bounced over to the side, and didn't get up any too quickly. He limped out of the game, and one Breezer Andridge, a track star, came in as his substitute. The new arrival quickly celebrated his arrival--on the next play, Cafego backed up to the 18 and fired a pass to Andridge, cutting across the right, that young man took it at the five-yard line and sped over the goal. He had succeeded in getting beyond the State defenders but Andy Pavlovsky gave him a good race in the short dash to the goal. Andridge won.

placekicked point. The game was nine minutes old; nessce had 13 points. Fans were expecting a walkaway thought the deluge was on. No Deluge. There was no deluge.

From then on, the vaunted Vols didn't crack State's defense. True, the Techs didn't do much in the way of offense--they most of the afternoon in that spent, the field in which it's not safe to try to do much in the way of offense. But they offered a stubborn defense and limited Tennessee to seven first-downs after the opening quarter. Major Neyland of the Vols used a raft of substitutes, but so did Doc Newton of State. In fact, Newton called on 17 sophomores.

Most of them never had been in a varsity game before. At one time State offered a lineup which listed only a couple of players with previous experience under varsity fire. Most even period of the game was Please Turn To Page Ten. Sixth Column. Baker's Dozen POS.

the Duke Blue Devils, some of whom visited in the on January 2 last, the Davidson Wildcats will throw a feared aerial attack, a fair running game, and a scrappy forward wall tomorrow afternoon the Davidson field at 2:30. Although they hold little hope of giving Wallace Wade's big Boys in Blue a defeat in their opening game, the Wildcats do entertain hopes of throwing an awful scare into Duke's newest Rose Bowl aspirations. The trusty arm of Granny Sharpe, who struck terror into the ranks of State College supporters last week, will be the Cat's chief weapon. Sharpe, who hails from Burlington, weighs only 150 pounds but is a wellpoised and accurate passer. Chief trouble in the Wade camp is choosing from among teams for the starting roles.

The latest dope from Durham tonight, however, indicated that George McAfee and his brother, Wes, would be two of the starters. Roger fullback post at the last minute. The Robinson ousted Jap Da Davis from his fourth man likely will be Easy Eaves, lat blocking back. The report from Duke also included information -that Wade will "test" most of the members of his squad unless Davidson presents too much of a problem.

Many of the Duke boys are sophomores. Sophomores will play a large part in the Cats' attack, Stan Yoder, Elmer Knoeller, and Claude Hackney are in their first year of varsity action and made good showings against State last week.

SANFORD HIGHS SCORE WIN OVER LUMBERTON Sanford, Sept. High School turned back Lumberton, 20-0, here today. Sanford made 15 firstdowns to Lumberton's three. Sanford's backfield of Donnell, Smith, Poe, and Stout played a brilliant offensive game. Leaders in the Sanford line were Johnson and Stancil.

Reporter Looks, Listens; Thus Are Sidelights Made And War O'Keef Offers Notes on Battle of Techs, Vols By HERB O'KEEF. It can be said without fear much successful contradition that spectators at yesterday's contest at State College sweated in about as near quinine-and-malaria weather as this section has seen since armed men from the Health Department chased down the last of this healthy hamlet. Your correspondent, hardened to heat youthful years on the plains Eastern Carolina and further tempered against it by years in that sweat-box which Marylanders fondly refer to as Baltimore, wilted considerably and came home happily to an ice pack. Maybe some people at the game didn't think the weather was so hot, but most of us did, anyway, and this may be considered as criticism of the local weather bureau. After all, what will visitors from Tennessee think of North Carolina, the hospitable state, if we wilt them when they come to visit us? Your correspondent's mother-inlaw is a native of Tennessee and was quite well satisfied with game, though she hasn't lived in the Volunteer State for 60 years and though she couldn't quite understand why the score didn't change after the first quarter despite the fact that the boys had played so hard for so long after that period.

Her after-the-game comment was: "I thought the State boys did very well, considering the team they were playing against." There were a number of things about football which were quite confusing to her. A boy selling prothe stadium started grams, outside, his wares with: "Getta program. Names, numbers, and salaries of all players. What did the boy mean by the salaries of the players, my mother-inlaw asked. She was shushed into immediate silence without an answer, as there were people listening.

Across the field from her, somewhere in the stands was Tarzan, the -lunged, coyote-voiced rooter familiar to all Tar Heel football fans. It was her first experience with Tarzan's yells, and she approved, game thoroughly. progressed, she got more and more interested, not upset one bit by the scorching heat as she now lives in Washington where scorching heat is the order of the day. As younger people all around her wilted and took off coats and fanned and cussed, she remained calm and collected and learned enough about the game to cheer at the proper moments. During the first quarter, while Tennessee ran wild, there was considerable discussion about whether Duke's Rose Bowl team could have beaten Tennessee.

A number of people, including at least one Carolina man, held firmly to the point that Duke couldn't have done so, while this Duke man declined to answer on constitutional grounds. That bit of discussion died of its own weight during the last three quarters. Even though it was so hot, the minds of many fans ran automatically back to that cold, snowy day of last fall when Duke beat Pittsburgh by 7-0 and Eric Tipton did such wonderful punting. When Butler of Tennessee punted out of bounds one time on the State oneyard line, shouts arose: "What's Tipton doing in there? Thought he was through playing football." The between-the-halves show was put on by the State band and the State drum corps and above all by Foxx in the Tennessee backfield, The play started at State's the field at the five-yard line.

Yawkey, millionaire owner of the Boston Red Sox, tonight announced the engagement of Joe Cronin as player-manager for another five-year term. He also said he had signed Jimmy Foxx, Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, and Jim Tabor for the 1940 season. am more than satisfied with Joe Cronin's managerial record, and I am sure the Boston baseball public agrees with Yawkey said. Cronin was purchased from Washington in 1934 for a reported $150,000 and Lyn Lary. Yawkey refused to discuss Cronin's salary, is believed by baseball writers to be about $27,000 a year.

Cronin Sticks the abbreviated drum major of the band who had to run to keep up with the boys and whose shako was nearly as wearer. The Raleigh High Band played on Schools the Tennessee side of the field. The intermission show almost ended in a traffic jam, but a tragedy was averted by seconds as one scheduled speech was called off. It all had to do with State's 50th anniversary celebration, due Tuesday, and a special edition of The Technician, college newspaper. Frank Jeter, chairman of the college's publication board, told the crowd all about it over a loudspeaker and was still telling the crowd when the two teams charged on the field for the second-half kickoff.

He introduced somebody else, but the bearer of the microphone, apparently not willing to risk its safety in the midst of 22 charging football players, scampered off the field and the er was heard. The crowd had come to see the game, anyway, and there were no complaints about the missing speech. ROCKINGHAM DEFEATS LAURINBURG Rockingham, Sept. playing a scoreless first half, Rockingham High School came back for three touchdowns and turned in a 19-7 victory over Laurinburg today. Shortly after the start of the third quarter, Rockingham scored on a 21- yard pass, from Gailes to Tutor.

McNair added the extra point by bucking the ball over. Rockingham's other scores came on sustained drives of 51 and 58 yards. Laurinburg scored in the last two minutes of the game, on a pass. Rockingham's line stars were Johnson. Whitley, and Harrington.

The backfield stars were Gailes, McNair, and McCaskill. Hines was Laurinburg's best in the line. Blue's punting featured for the losers. Tom Burnett Tarboro, former Carolina athlete, coaches Rockingham. WARSAW GETS 7-6 WIN OVER BURGAW GRIDDERS Burgaw, Sept.

High School came from behind and defeated Burgaw's Red Devils, 13-7, here today. Warsaw scored in the first quarter after Johnson's catch of a long pass paved the way for a touchdown. The try for extra point failed. Burgaw pushed over a score in the second quarter, following a sustained march, Baken's placekick for point put the Red Devils in front, 7-6. However, Warsaw rallied its forces in the third quarter and marched down the field for a touchdown Featuring this drive was the passing and running of Brock.

Leaders for Burgaw were Baken, Robins and Bowen. I THOMPSON HEARS HE'S GREAT CHAP Reds Start Building Up Junior's Confidence for Tussle with Yankees By GAYLE TALBOT. Pittsburgh, Sept. 29. (A)The Cincinnati' Reds have begun steaming up Junior Thompson, the 22- year-old "baby" of their mound staff, to beat the Yankees in his world series game.

That's all the National League figure they will needchampions, by their freshman starto upset all the dope and give them the big end of the series money. So they're working hard on the young Swede, who only a year ago was pitching for the Columbia club in the Class Sally League. Forty times since the league title was clinched yesterday Cincinnati, Thompson has heard this: "You're the guy to beat those Yankees, Junior. You've got exactly, You're the a stuff cinch those to guys lick them don't once, and maybe twice. All you've got to do is pitch your regular game." In the clubhouse after yesterday's game and for most of the way here on the train last night, they drummed it into the boy.

Bucky Walters, Paul Derringer, Ival Goodman, and Ernie Lombardi took turns dropping down casually beside Junior at the height of celebration and slipping him the exciting news. By the time we pulled out of Columbus some time this to morning. Junior was beginning he believed it himself. And today, somewhat-weary teamwhiles went through the motions of playing the Pirates, Thompson was sitting around with a dangerous gleam in his eyes. Derringer, incidentally, provided the victory celebration, which from all accounts must have been a roaring success.

One item was $140 worth of champagne. The idea behind the Thompson campaign is simple enough. The Reds, from Manager Bill McKechnie to the veteran Al Simmons, honestly think that Walters and Derringer at least can break even with the Yanks, each of them pitching, twice during the series. feel, too, that they must have another winner, and Junior has been elected. it isn't a bad nomination, at that.

Despite his inexperience, the kid is a cool customer. He sold himself solidly to his mates by the manner ir which he beat the Cards last Tuesday in the opening game of their vital series. The Cards hit him with everything dugout stairs, with except, the sacks he mowed them down. Fourteen Cards were left stranded. His game was much like the clincher that Derringer pitched yesterday.

"Big Two" Unalarmed. Derringer and Walters, as is perhaps natural with a couple of hurlers who have won 52 games between them, 'aren't in the least awed at the prospects of facing the Yankees' murderous bats. Walters is unacquainted with the American League champions, except for a few brief exhibition-game skirmishes, but Derringer stood most of them on their heads in this year's All-Star game at Yankee Stadium.

ELIZABETH CITY BOAT LAID UP FOR REPAIRS Manteo, Sept. 29. The Pat II. with Ralph Davis driving, struck a piece of driftwood in the dent's River Cup Regatta held on Saturday while making speed of something like 60 miles an hour, and tore a gaping hole in her bottom. The boat upset and sank.

The accident occurred when the local boat was only a few feet behind the leader and was gaining fast. The racer started out sixth and overhauled all except one boat. The accident happened on the first lap of the first heat. The Potomac offered a perilous course for the President's Cup Regatta, as nine other boats were sunk by driftwood, which is as effective on the frail racing boats German torpedoes are on English merchantmen. The Pat is now hauled up in the backyard of the Davis home here.

Extensive repairs will be necessary before she may be raced again.

York's Yankees probably rate goldplated beds in a presidential suite or two, but when they get to Cincinnati for the third and fourth games of the world series, Oct.

7 and 8, they'll sleep on cots and like it. This development today, made known by the hotel where the team is to be quartered, became typical of an acute situation in which this city finds itself- which because of concurrent conventions, made necessary the opening of an official "housing bureau." The American Federation of Labor meets for two weeks beginning Oct. 2, bringing with it an expected 2,000 or delegates and visitors, many of whom held hotel reservations long before any idea of a world series was entertained. But even as the chamber of commerce requested the cooperation of residents in listing available rooms. the Cincinnati Baseball Club, exover its first National League pennant in 20 years, announced that 800 additional reserved seats would be provided in Crosley Field.

Plans to swing a "bleacher section from the left-field wall across adjoining York Street, as was done during last World Series here in 1939, were sidetracked at a meeting of directors today. Counting right- and left-field pavilion seats added recently, approximately 31,000 persons can be seated, with standees bringing the expected total 35,000 or more. OLD SOLDIERS. West Point, N. Sept.

That's where the emphasis expected to remain right through the season and into the bowl games, The fact that this major conflict an opening game, also stresses trend in recent years that is even stronger this year. With few exceptions, the big boys no lonser are picking on their little der-the-pigskin, and there are good half-dozen other games day that are of mid-season caliber. Good Day for Business.

Finally, the Irish-Boilermaker duel points the way to a prosperous year for college treasuries. A crowd of 40.000 is expected at South Bend: 45,000 are due to see Minnesota play Arizona; Seattle expects 30.000 for Pittsburgh vs. Washington; at Chapel Hill. N. they're counting 24,000 for North Carolina vs, Wake Forest, and so it goes right down the line.

The program points up only too well the wisdom of Little's crack. However, this department. far from being a -guesser, is strictly -guesser, and hereby proceeds with its stabe in the dark which hopes won't turn into knife-thrusts in the back, as follows (probable tendance in parentheses): Notre Dame- Purdue (40.000) already pointed out, there are going to be a lot of backs in motion this one.
