DAVIDSON HOPES TO SCORE UPSET Wildcats Play Tar Heels in Big Five Contest at Charlotte Stadium Charlotte, Nov.

6. Davidson's Wildcats hope to spring another major upset here tomorrow afternoon when they take on the Carolina Tar Heels in American Legion Stadium. The game will begin at one season's largest crowds here is expected to attend. The Wildcats are fresh from last week's upset victory over VMI. The Tar Heels were defeated by their "brothers" from State and are anxious for a win.

Gene McEver, with six very good tossers, has been drilling his Wildcats overtime this week on still more pass plays. The Cats used their overhead game to good advantage in spanking However, they will have to cope with a passing attack that will probably equal that of their own. Tatum Not Satisfied. Coach Jim Tatum has been anything but pleased this week with the defensive play of his team on passes. He has been working hard in an effort to erect a defense that will be able to halt the Cat passing parade.

The Tar Heels, heavier than their Davidson rivals, will enter the game as favorites to win-but not the big favorite they would have been if Davidson hadn't defeated VMI last week. In that game, the Cats tallied their first 24 points of the year, and they bid fair to break loose against the Tar Heels with a couple more touchdowns if the Tar Heel pass defense is as weak as it has been in games with Tulane and State. Carolina enters the game with three sophs in the lineup. Davidson will send an all-letterman against the Chapel Hill squad. The Tar Heels outweigh the Cats some 10 pounds per man.

Co-Captains Joe Austin and Tank Marshall have been taking things light for the Carolina gridders this from play two weeks Howweek, being slightly banged, up ever, each will likely sees plenty of action.

Zodiac Rolls Natural in Charlotte Tilt My dear Mr. Herbert: I offer for your consideration a forecast on a footballing contestbut I offer it with much misgiving and hesitancy. I between gratification at the orthodoxy of one of last week's games and chagrin at the fiasco of two others. Both the Carolinas and the State Collegers finally recognized the Cosmic Law, but the use of dice with respect to a Methodist university appears to have been an ill-chosen method of divination.

Incidentally, I shall not employ the services of Buddy on any further contest- he may be able to compound prescriptions but not prognostications. I am this week again forced to utilize a forecasting method other than astrology and resort to a procedure which I have not heretofore employed this year, i.e., Numerology. In antiquity men believed in the influence of numbers on all our lives and we know that Pythagoras founded on it a whole mystical philosophy. On this coming Saturday, LEXINGTON STOPS CAPS AT DEVEREUX Touchdown in Last Period Gives Yellow Jackets 13-12 Triumph over Locals By HERMAN BLACKMAN. An inexperienced but hard-working Lexington High School eleven handed the Raleigh Caps their second defeat of the current football season here last night, 13-12.

The visitors came from behind in the fourth quarter to tally the winning markers. The score was knotted at 6-6 at halftime. Lee Spears, a big and powerful fullback, butted through guard for the winning score, and then passed to Carroll Dorsett for the extra point. Dorsett eludedatch halfback in the end zone the ball that gave Lexington its margin of victory. Coach Ray Gregson said after the game that it was just a case of overconfidence that led to the Caps' defeat.

The Caps scored first in the initial quarter when Jimmy Allen cracked over from guard for two yards and the touchdown. Joe Jordan's dropkick attempt for extra point was low and to the left of the crossbar. Raleigh had got the ball on their own 33 on a punt. Allen. J.

O. Whitley, and Joe Hunt featured the drive. Hunt was playing in his last game with the Caps. He is enlisted in the Seabees, overseas construction unit, and will leave shortly for active duty. He was one of the most potent yard-makers during the evening.

Caps scored as the quarter ended, and it was only a short while after the second quarter had begun that the Yellow Jackets had tied the count at 6-6. The victory last night was Lexington's second of the year, its previous win being over Barium Springs. Coach Leslie Blankenship's team was composed of large boys, but boys who were seing their first action on the varsity team this season. The Jackets have lost six games. Lexington the ball on Raleigh's 31 after Bill Smith, a 225- pound 15-year-old tackle, had recovered Bobby Crocker's fumble.

Gregson's Caps came back in the last of the third quarter to go ahead for the second time when they took over on their own 31. Allen and Bobby Crocker, along with Sparkie Capps, featured Caps smoothly down the field. Allen passed 17 yards to Capps to the Raleigh 46. Another pass fell incomplete, and then Crocker broke away through tackle to the Lexington 25, ploughing through the big Jacket linemen. He broke away completely, but was hauled down from behind by Dorsett on the Lexington 18.

Coach Blankenship came out onto the field to protest that Crocker had run with a fumbled ball, but his protests were to no avail. Ordered off the field, he refused to leave-and the Lexington team was penalized 15 yards down to the 10. Crocker at the middle of the line got one yard. Allen passed to Capps for seven yards. Allen went at the middle of the line two times, picking up a yard and a half.

Then he cut through left guard and knifed his way to the score. A pass for the extra point failed, and the Caps were ahead, 12-6. The Raleigh score had again come at the close of the quarter. After the kickoff, McBride 2 at tackle and then Lexington kicked. Jimmy Allen, playing safety for the Caps, fumbled the ball on the Raleigh 25 and Wall recovered the ball for Lexington on the 21.

The Associated Press learned from an unimpeachable source today that while formal application for permission to play has not been acted on by the Army, there is no objection to the 29th renewal of the classic, oldest and most famous of the postseason bowl games. for Annual Contest Between Old Rivals 75.000 WILL SEE ARMY PLAY IRISH Stadium Is Sold out New York, Nov. 6-(A)-The Army and Notre Dame football teams, which played a scoreless tie a year ago, meet again tomorrow before a sell-out crowd of more than 75,000 in Yankee Stadium. And this time the Irish are determined to do something about scoring. Rated one best college teams in the country at this stage despite early-season setbacks, Notre Dame has been made a 3-1 favorite by local betting men.

After a tie with Wisconsin and a defeat by Georgia Tech, the Irish knocked off Stanford, Iowa Pre Illinois, and Navy decisively. Meanwhile, Army's record spoiled last week when the Cadets took a 19-0 drubbing from Pennsylvania. Coach Frank Leahy, who appears to be the only pessimist in the Notre Dame camp, points: out that the Cadets may be dangerous on rebound, but the "subway alumni" argue that Army much to rebound with unless Hank Mazur and Ralph Hill are in better shape than reports from West Point indicate. Mazur and Hill. regular halfbacks and Army's chief scoring threats, were too battered to practice all week, and Coach Earl Blaik said the he did not expect them start game.

Army's starting backfield of Art Jarrell, Carl Anderson, Bob Wood, and George Troxell is a strong one, however, and the Cadet line is considered one of the best in the East, allowing only two touchdowns before the Penn game. Owen Evans, Notre star last year, has been lost to the squad because of an injury. but the Irish still Angelo Bertelli, an exceptional passer who also has become adept at ball handling in the formation, and a couple of unusually able sophomore backs, Corwin (Corny) Class and Bob Livingston. Wally Ziemba, veteran center, who was injured, is back in action again. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

Winston-Salem, Nov. of the strongest teams in the Southern Conference meet here tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 when Wake Forest clashes with VMI. Because of their impressive victories over Duke and Clemson, the Forest Deacons are favored to add another conference triumph to their record.

However, the Cadets have a lot of supporters who believe that the return of Joe Muha to his fullback position will inspire the Virginians to their best performance of the season. Coach Peahead Walker is expected to start the same Deacon team which defeated Clemson last week. 19-6. However, it's possible that Johnny Perry, ace wingback, may not see service because of an ankle injury which has been bothering him since the Duke game. Muha Uncertain Before game-time there was no be able to play for definite word whether Muha, would held the bench again, Wake Forest will be favored highly win.

Wake Forest will be after its first victory over the Cadets. Four games have been played between the two schools, with VMI winning two and with two ending in ties. VMI will be anxious to get back the win column after last week's surprising 24-6 loss to Davidson. Muha, a 215-pound star, played only minutes in that game. Wake Forest played its best game of the season last week in defeating Clemson.

However, the loss of Perry will be a big blow, if the Raleigh boy is unable to play tomorrow. The probable starters: POS. Capps WAKE FOREST Clark VMI LT. Owen Ellington Jones Ducko Starford Louis Rubino Minton Marks RE. Copley Sloan QB.

UPSETS UNLIKELY FOR GRID LEADERS Only Wisconsin Is Likely to Fall from Ranks of Undefeated Today New York, Nov.

nation's football fans, by now immune to the shock of astounding upsets, wondered vaguely today just which favored teams would take it on the chin tomorrow's schedule matching rugged elevens in major tional, intersectional, and conference games. There was no chance that the downfall of major undefeated and untied elevens would match that of last Saturday, when Ohio State, Alabama, Army, Syracuse, TCU, and Detroit fell by the wayside. Chief reason for this is list of such top teams has dwindled to virtual insignificance, and the fact that the survivors in that list face opponents which, for the most part, figure Of to four cause outstanding little troubledefeated and untied teams- Georgia, Georgia Tech, Boston College, and Tulsaonly Georgia Tech might possibly have its troubles. The Rambling Wrecks meet Kentucky, an in-andout eleven which, when in, is plenty tough. It lost to Georgia by a lone point in the opener.

Georgia Plays Florida. Georgia meets Florida, Boston College takes on Temple, and Tulsa plays the Oklahoma Aggies in games that see the unbeaten elevens that see the unbeaten elevens heavy favorites. From a national standpoint, the Army-Notre Dame the Yankee Stadium probably holds the spotlight, although a slight edge was removed from the contest when Army was drubbed by Penn last week. It was the Cadets' first setback. Other intersectional battles include Michigan State-Washington State, Michigan-Harvard, Louisiana State-Fordham, and St.

Mary's-Duquesne. The Midwest schedule is peppered with major contests. Wisconsin's fine team may be due for trouble against Iowa's heavy Hawkeyes. Indiana meets Minnesota in another Big Ten argument, and Illinois takes on the always-dangerous Northwestern team. Nebraska tackles Missouri in a game which goes a long way toward deciding the Big Six title.

Mississippi State and Tulane tangle in one of the highlights of the Southern program, with Mississippi and Vanderbilt meeting in another tough contest. Texas Tackles Baylor. Texas, a leader in the Southwest, will have to play its best game to dispose of the once-defeated Baylor eleven. TCU, defeated last week, hopes to bounce back against Texas Tech, and Texas Aggies meet SMU in another Southwest contest. Rice takes on Arkansas.

UCLA, riding high right now on the coast, meets Oregon in one of the feature attractions out there. Other contests of varied importance on the Pacific slope include Washington and Stanford, Montana and Oregon State, and California and USC. The Eastern schedule is crowded with good games. In addition to the spotlighted Army-Notre Dame encounter, the strong Penn team meets Navy, Cornell plays the improving Yale team, Dartmouth meets Princeton, Colgate plays Columbia, Cross takes on Brown, and Syracuse tackles Penn State. Other games that will hold a share of attention over the nation include Great Lakes VS.
