Lose to Navy. Duke's victory string of three was stopped last week in Baltimore when Navy's powerhouse took a 14- 13 verdict when Bob Gantt of the Blue Devils missed an extra point following a last-minute touchdown to the Navy game, Eddie Cameron's boys defeated Camp Lejeune, 40-0; Richmond, 61-0, and Carolina Pre-Flight, 42-0. The Blue Devils are given the edge because the experts believe they have a better attack, but Carolina's big eleven turned in splendid defensive in all starts, a are expected performances, to have a lot of trouble tomorrow afternoon. New Starters. Coach Cameron is expected to use a slightly different starting lineup tomorrow.

Gantt, All-Southern end for two years, will see his first action of the season other than extrapoint duty. The big fellow broke his hand prior to the first game and hasn't been in the lineup since. He is expected to start at one of the terminals, and his pass-catching ability is expected to add another threat to the potent Duke attack. Bulldog Williams of Georgia has won one of the starting tackle positions from Bob Nanni, the big fellow who blocked a punt to score the first, touchdown in last year's game. Nanni, however, will see a service substitute.

Wall, who played freshman ball at Wake Forest last year, may start at center in the place of Chief McCain, big pivot man from Mississippi State. Both squads are in pretty good physical condition. However, the Tar Heels will be without the services of Captain Craven Turner of Raleigh, who injured his leg against Jacksonville last week.

His place in the starting lineup will be taken by Ray Poole, big flankman from Mississippi. Myers Is Leader. Carolina's offense hasn't been as impressive as Duke's, but the Tar have a very dangerous in Billy Myers, the junior trom Lexington who starred in the 1942 game. Myers will run from both the tailback and wingback positions during the contest, and his passing may prove a real threat. Jack Hussey, the Poole brothers, and Wingback Eddie Bryant are capable ceivers who will worry Blue Devil secondary.

Coach Tom Young shifted several backs around during the week's practice Fullback Hosea Rodgers, big transfer from Alabama, likely to see some service at the tailback position, Eddie Teague, Hugh Cox Grimes are other tailbacks who will have be watched. One of the key in uten the Carolina's attack is Tex Falmer, blocking back from SMU. Carolina's line will give Duke a lot of trouble. The front wall is three deep with big, experienced men. Duke's forwards but they do not have as much depth.

Pat Preston of Wake Forest is the big boy up in front for the Blue Devils. Each team has been scouted well by the other. However, each is expected to open up its bag of tricks and show plays which haven't been run before. In recent games, each has employed straight football. The probable starters: POS.

Orphanage handed Henderson its first defeat in two years by turning back the locals, 13-6, here tonight. Although losing, Henderson had the satisfaction of scoring the first points of the season on the Methodists. The Methodists scored in the first period when Earley Ford scored from the 2 after Charles Aguirre passed to Adrian Clewis for 20 yards. Bill Long kicked the extra point. On the following kickoff, Thompson received the ball but gave it to Mills, who ran 70 yards for a touchdown.

The try for the extra point was blocked. Raleigh's second touchdown came in the last period when a 30-yard drive was climaxed when Aguirre took it over from the 3. Henderson's only threat was made in the third period when an intercepted pass gave it the ball on the Raleigh 10, but the locals were downs there. Bill Long turned in an outstanding performance for Coach Duma Bledsoe's team. LOCALS TRIUMPH OVER CHARLOTTE Joe Jordan Goes 70 Yards on First Play from Scrimmage in 28-0 Win By FRED DIXON.

Raleigh toppled Charlotte from the ranks of the undefeated last night with a surprising 28-0 victory in Devereux Meadow before some 6,000 spectators. It was Raleigh's fifth game of the season and the Caps' fifth victory. It was Charlotte's first loss starts. The flying feet of Joe Jordan and the smashing drives of Walton Ferrell topped the offensive fireworks of the locals. And Raleigh's forwards, paced by J.

O. Whitley, tackle, and Rex Benson and Clyde Bryant, ends, were so good that Charlotte' never got further up the field than its 43-yard line. Joe Jordan really showed his heels to the visitors last night, and lost no time in doing it. Raleigh received the kickoff to start the game and put the ball in play its 30. Bill Jones, quarterback, called on Jordan on the first play and the Raleigh youngster cut through his left tackle and sped down the field for 70 yards, not one Charlotte man laying a hand upon him.

After the run Jordan added the point by placement, Ferrell holding. Bolt. Let it be said right here that block- block by Ferrell the line enabled Jordan to get into the secondary. That sudden bolt of lightning shocked and upset the visiting aggregation highly touted never able to offer any scoring threat. In fact Charlotte was kept sO well covered that the Central High Wildcats made but three firstdowns.

Jordan's damage to the Wildcats didn't end with that run. He scored one more touchdown on a beautiful 25-yard run and with Ferrell holdball, booted perfect placements to give him 16 points for the night. Ferrell didn't play second fiddle Jordan. He was just as much trouble for Charlotte and scored Raleigh's other two touchdowns--one one. from five-yard line and other from the one.

The third time Raleigh took possession of the ball, Coach Lee boys drove 80 yards for touchdown. Jordan started it with gain at left tackle--the same play that saw him go 70 yards for the opening score. Ferrell was dropped for a yard loss, but Bobby Hawkins made six and a first-down. Ferrell bulled his way through center for 21 yards, pulling three Wildcats with him. Jordan and Ferrell split four yards between them, and Hawkins clipped off eight around left end for Raleigh's third first-down.

Jordan gained one and Ferrell six, but Charlotte was penalized for ing, and Raleigh had a first-down on the Charlotte 14. Hawkins made one, and Quarterback Jones called on Ferrell twice, and the hard driving fullback picked up eight and then five for the score. Fumble Helps. A Charlotte fumble recovered by J. O.

Whitley on the visitors 11-yard line set the stage for Raleigh's third touchdown. The third quarter this was about minutes old. From point, Ferrell made seven and Jordan moved the ball to the one, from where Ferrell took it over. Raleigh kicked to Charlotte after the score and the visitors were on two plays a third-down pass their 30. They, lost three yards in was intercepted by Hugh Stone, sub Raleigh tackle, on the Charlotte 28 and he returned it three yards to the 25 where it was first for Raleigh and 25 yards go for a touchdown.

On the very first play, Jordan 1 hit that hole at his left tackle, went three yards into the visiting secondary, cut sharp to his right, and danced his way down the field for the score and the most skillfully executed run of the night. Raleigh made 10 first-downs and the game was the best game the Caps have played this year. They continued their splendid blocking and simply outcharged and outfought the visitors. Members of the Raleigh police force and the Junior Chamber of Commerce handled the large crowd without disturbance of any kind. The lineups: POS.

Old Man Zodiac Reappears- Picks Duke to Win Today Dear Mr. Herbert: This is the ninth year that I will engaged in augury anent the footballing activities of the Dukes and the Carolinas.

I had intended to retire, but your urgent message to advise the followers of the gridiron classic of the outcome has presuaded me. It is not true that I was content to rest upon my laurels, impressive as the percentage of accuracy of forecast might seem to some. They were not my laurels-nay, they were not even laurels. When the outcome has in rare instances in the past been contrary to the result, the Cosmic Law was still correct. The players simply performed contrary to the astral trend--the stars impel, but do not compel.

must admit I was not pleased when the War Manpower Commission ruled astrologers in the same class as soda dispensers in that they were both "non-deferable." Not that that affected my draft status since it is general knowledge that I was 97 years old when I properly predicted my first Duke-Tar Heel conflict in 1935. That was the year when I alone foretold that Duke would emerge victorious. It is possible that my BILL SUDZINA. 29 HAL THOMPSON. Bill Sudzina, blocking back, and Hal Thompson, reserve guard, are expected to see action tonight when State plays Wake Forest at Riddick Stadium.

The kickoff is scheduled for 8 o'clock. The two old rivals battled to a 0-0 tie last year. NINE HORSES RUN IN PIMLICO RACE Shut Out Is Favored to Win Havre De Grace Handicap -Gets 124 Pounds Baltimore, Oct. field of nine horses, headed by two of the top handicap stars in training, was named today to compete in the 000-added Havre de Grace Handicap which will feature tomorrow's program of the four Maryland tracks' meeting at Pimlico. Chief interest in the mile and a furlong test centered on the performance of Shut Out, the Greentree Stable four-year-old which last year won the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes to become the top money winner in his division.

Coupled in the wagering with his stablemate, the imported Famous Victory, Shut Out was a slight favorite in the early odds to win the major share of the purse from Louis B. Mayer's Thumbs Up. Shut Out will carry pounds, including Jockey Eddie Arcaro. This assignment topped Thumbs Up's impost by a pound. The other seven named to go to the post were comparatively lightly weighted.

On Comeback. Shut Out has been far from his peak form this year, but on Tuesday comeback indicated that trail he when might he beyon the mile and 70 yard Laurel Stakes in 1:42 2-5, just one fifth of a second away from the track record for the distance. Up, which won his most recent Tunisia Handicap at Belmont on Oct. 2-will be ridden in the Havre de Grace by Otto Grows. Both of the principal candidates had successful workouts this morning, Shut Out breezing a half mile :49 3-5 and the Mayer son of Blenheim II going three furlongs in :36 1-5.

Others named to go to the post in the traditional Havre de Grace fixture were Hal Price Anticlimax 107 pounds. David Starus' Daily Trouble, 110; William W. Snyder's Mokablue 108, W. L. Brann's Pictor, 107: T.

D. Buhl's Sweep Swinger, 112, and Mrs. D. B. Miller's Incoming, 104.

Raleigh's best football attraction of the season will be offered at Riddick Stadium tonight when State and Wake Forest meet in their annual contest. The kickoff is scheduled for 8 o'clock. Last year, the two Wake County rivals fought to a 0-0 tie, and other close game is expected tonight, although the Deacons have a slight edge because of their greater experience. The contest will mark first home appearance of the Wolfpack since it defeated the Naval Apprentice School, 18-0, three weeks ago. Since then, State dropped a 19-7 decision to Clemson at Charlotte and a 27-0 verdict at Camp Davis.

Once again the Deacs will playing away from home. All of their games this year have been scheduled for the road. but the game with State generally is considered a "home" game for each school. Point for Game. Each team has been pointing for tonight's game, and each is expected to play its best brand of ball of the season.

Coach Doc Newton's youngsters have been working hard all week. but their practice sessions have been hampered by the fact that several key men were unable tautake, part in the rough work injuries. However, all of the regulars are expected to be on hand tonight. wethe of Deacs practice, also have with spent Coach a full head Walker trying to develop the team's scoring punch. The Wake Forest club turned in its best game of the season when it the strong Georgia Bulldogs 7-0 held, score last week.

May Use Tricks. The Wake Forest coaches are expecting State to use a lot of trick plays tonight. Doc Newton, Wolfpack mentor, always has been noted for his deceptive plays, and the Techs are expected to open their bag of tricks in an effort to upset the Deacons. Wake Forest is given the edge because of the presence of more perienced players. Russ Perry, fullback, Elmer Barbour, blocking back, and Jeff Brogden, wingback, are lettermen from last year's strong eleven, and they give the Deacs experienced backfield.

Bill Starford, one of the best centers South, and Pat Geer, end, are the holdovers in the line. Several transfers from Appalachian also are in the Wake Forest lineup. State, on the other hand. does not have a single player from last year's varsity or freshman squads. All of the men are playing their first season of varsity ball.

However, they have been able to present an interesting brand of play in the games so far. Howard Turner, tailback from Rocky Mount, and Buck Sutton, a 214-pound fullback, are the leaders backfield. Turner's passing may prove hard for the Deacs to stop, Sutton is a threat against team. A near-capacity crowd is expected to see the 1943 renewal of the ancient rivalry. The probable starters: POS.

Barbour Pizzurro or Sudzina HB Sacrinity Turner Brogden Cocke FB Perry Sutton or Mauro Few Good Games Scheduled for Today--Purdue Tackles Ohio Buckeyes New York, Oct. has become an aphorism this season that you never know where the next good football game will turn up, and after the five or six top games on tomorrow's card that will be more true than ever.

There can be little doubt that such games Duke vs. North Carolina, Ohio State vs Purdue, Texas Aggies vs Texas Christian, Oklahoma VS. Tulsa, and College of Pacific vs Del Monte Pre-Flight will produce good and probably stirring football. Duke, despite its one-point loss to Navy still is the South's outstanding team this season, with a record of 156 points to its opponents 14 in four games. Carolina also has a large and able collections of Navy trainees to send most important rival.

Purdue Is Leader. Purdue, since the deflation of Michigan by Notre Dame, has become the No. 1 "Navy" team of the Big Ten, while Ohio State's youngsters have developed into a really good civilian outfit that should give the Boilermakers a tussle. Off last week's triumph over Louisiana State, undefeated Texas A. and M.

Oklahoma, which held Texas to a one-touchdown victory last week, figures give Tulsa's powerful civilteam a A. Stagg's no-longer-little "College of the Pacific team will face its strongest test against the Del Monte PreFlight Navyators, perhaps the strongest team on the West Coast. With a number of teams taking a week or two off during the Navy examination period, Cornell vs. Holy Cross is the top eastern pairing.

Cornell looked very good against Princeton last week, and the Crusaders have performed ably in three games despite a loss to Dartmouth. Take It Easy. Such powerful teams as Army, Navy, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Texas, and Southern California shouldn't have much trouble against Columbia, Penn State, Lakehurst Naval Air Station, Wisconsin, Fort Benning 300th Infantry, Arkansas, and San Francisco. Then come the "maybe" games, where close exciting, contests may turn up though the quality of the football may not be so good. These include Colgate-Rochester, West Virginia-Maryland, Illinois-Pittsburgh, Iowa Indiana, Minnesota Camp Grant, Northwestern-Great Lakes, Iowa State-Nebraska, Missouri-Iowa Pre-Flight, Richmond-VMI, North Carolina State-Wake Forest, RiceSouthern Methodist, UCLA-California, and Denver-Fort Riley.

That is to say, he will be able to and I find a trine of Mercury bearing upon the House of Mr. Eddie Cameron which will impell him to employ Mr. Gantt's much publicized talents. I know Mr. Cameron and respect his perspicacity.

It will this Saturday be sharpened greatly transit through his zodical sign of two mentally stimulating planets. Regardless of the new elgibility rules, I doubt that Mr. Cameron will play-but observations over the years have convinced me that coaches sometimes influence the outcome of a footballing battle. Draw, Mr. Herbert, your own conclusions.

A powerful configuration dominates Mr. Nanni. He will be disconcerting to the Carolinas and particularly their backfielders. The same aspect shines in a lesser degree upon Mr. Copley.

Mental power and inspiration are disclosed in a LITTLE BLUES CHECK TARBORO ELEVEN, 53-0 Washington High Runs Up High Total against Edgecombe County Eleven Tarboro was the victim of one of the biggest scores ever run up by Washington High as the Little Blues rolled to a 53-0 victory over the Edgecombe County eleven at Chavis Park yesterday. Coach Williams his firststringers for only 15 minutes, and they scored five touchdowns in that time. The entire squad of 38 men action for the locals. The Blues scored early in the first period when Haywood tallied on an end run good for 46 yards. From then on, the were unable to check the visitors, In the first eight minutes of the second half, the varsity scored three touchdowns.

After that, the second and third teams over. Harvey Broadie's runback of punts was the feature of the game, Candy Pope and Bro Adams turned in a good game in the line. R. Taylor, Revish, Howard, and Harrison were best for Tarboro. McGuire, U.

Haywood, Whitaker, Peebles, and scored extra points for the winners. The Little Blues play at Durham next week. this year of another. Duke victory will coincide "hunches" of others. The difference will lie in that I shall KNOW-and let you KNOW--not only what will happen, but also disclose something of the modus operandi of the meeting.

Had the encounter on Saturday before last, October 2, the Dukes would have performed under a Sun (achievement) sextile (favorable) Pluto (the Devil's own sign) and would have walloped the Tar Heels outrageously. I am informed that they did some such stunt to a team from Chapel Hill. (Please forgive that but I find it strangely refreshing occasionally utilize argot.) This Saturday we find them confronted with a Moon (home again) sextile Plutoi, hardly less favorable a transit but. unfortunately, this does not occur until four minutes before midnight EWT. Nonetheless, they will benefit since the lunations literally "cast their shadows before" -as much as 12 hours before as a usual thing.

Further, the Moon is in Gemini, entering that zodical house 8:07 a. m. EWT Saturday and the Blue Devils will, result, be gay, clever and sociable. This is a situation, I think, since they of the houses of Messrs. Preston, Tom Davis and Rute.

Buddy Luper I dislike to discuss, since he hails from my home town, but I must be honest even if accused of favoritism. After all, I but disclose to you the astral revelations. Suffice it to say that Moon is virtually square Jupiter and that planet is cooking with gas for the money player (doggone it, there's some more slang!) I would not suggest that the Carolinas will not perform smartly. They will. It will be a hard fought and bitterly contested affray.

Mr. Bull Johnson will do nicely in a rough sort of way. will certain others, Mr. Cox will be stymied, Myers is ruled by an unfavorable Aries, others of their backfielders are in hardly less lavorable astral influences. And I cannot forget that beautifully beneficient aura of cosmic configurations surrounding Mr.

Eddie Cameron. I wonder if he's singing that song from "Oklahoma" that has a line "I've beautiful feeling everything's coming way." It's a melodious little thing and he will have an accompaniment of the stars singing in their courses. -ZODIAC.
