Baptist Convention \Votes ·Unanimously. To Let B.oard Begin. Building At Reynolda
PrOminent A.utlti/r Will Present W~ke Forest And State Live Lectul-e .. On'Easi~,West Problem Up To Past Record Of Long
Construction May Begin By Early July
Or Sooner ~y DAVE CLARK
The Baptist State Convention voted unanimously to give Trustees of Wake Forest College permission to begin building the new Wake For.est at Winston-Salem as soon as they (the Trustees) deem it wise. The Convention took the action last Wednesday in the coursa of its Tuesday-throughThursday session in Durham. ·
The Convention gave the Trustees express. permission to begin construction by July 1 and said that the work may begin sooner provided a debt is not assumed that is beyond the College's solvent assets.
Although no serious trouble had been anticipated in asking the Convention for the "green light " the unanimity of its action came somewhat as a pleasant surprise to most Wake Forest observers._ According to Dr. Eugene Olive, head of the College's public relations, "Wake .Forest . . got everything in the way of action that we could ask'f"or."
Remaining Step The only remaining step which
must be taken before the building at Reynolda can begin is for the Trustees of the Reynolds ·Foundation to take similar action.

It has been said that for years · lie kept a personal time ledger in

If he had taken more time than he felt he should, following his weekly accounting he forced himself to do something extra. · If he thinks that something unproductive takes too much time, he abandons the practice, so he no longer smokes.
It is easy to understand that, following a careful schedule for his day, which begins at 2:30 in the morning and includes a salute to. the statue of Lee which he passes on the way to his office, he has been able, with assistants working on. an equally exact Sl'hedule, to fill a,n important position and to write a great deal at . t)le same time. ·

Other Should Not Hmder Dr. Tribble told the Cottvention
that "Wake Forest ought not to prosper at the expense of the other
.. Baptist schools, nor should the other schools hinder Wake Forest in the realization of its great dream."
"A.mong Christian schools," he said, "by their roots you shall grow them and by their fruits you shall know them. The time has come for us to strengthen the roots in order that the fruit may be better.
"We could undergird all our colleges with adequate funds from our own resources . . . the time for greatness in Christian Education has come."
A Lay President For the first time in many
years, the Convention elected a lay president. Grover H. Jones, High Point lawyer, ,will preside at nextyear's session to be held at the First Baptist Church in Asheville. He is the first layman to hold the top position since I. G. Greer of Chapel Hill served. in that capacity in 1933-34. ,
For the first time since 1926, the Convention enlarged its General Board and changed its election methods. The enlarged board will allow associational representation. One delegate will be elected from each Baptist Association, with one additional delegate from every 20,-000 or fraction beyond. No association may have beyond three delegates and no church may send more than one.
Judge Olive also announced that a gift of $50,000 had been made to Graylyn by Charles L. Amos, Sr., of High Point. Graylyn, which il' the convalescent and rehabilitation center of Bowman Gray, will use the money for a small-house, or cottage type project to care for the aged.

An after dinner speech and a delJate were featured at the Monday night meeting of the Euzelian Literary Society. · ·
Clarence O'Briant gave an after dinner speech and ·will represent the society Founder's Day if he is not challenged. :
Roger Cole and Camp Mason debated the query: "Resolved, that the nations of the world should form themselves into a new world government." Cole represented the affirmative side and Mason the negative.
It was announced that the intersociety contests will be held the first week in December. The place for the banquet which winds up the week was discussed, and it was decided that it would be best to hold the banquet in Wake Forest to keep expenses down and to avoid the transportation problems which arise wlien the banquet is out of town.

'Angel Street' To Be Given .. \
Bennett To Direct _;;;econd Little Theatt 'l
Production ; ' "Angel Street" will be the !'in-
ter production of the Wake F L·est Little Theater, Charles Bill ~1gs, president, announced today. ~
Bob Bennett of Haddonfield; N. J., will direct the play. Bennett is well-equipped for the task, having had experience working on "Cyrano de Bergerac," "Winterset," "Hamlet," and serving as stage · manager of "School for Scandal," the fall production of the group.
The play, -a Victorian drama in three acts is by Patrick Hamilton. It tells the · demonic story of the Manriinghams of Angel Street. t;rnder the guise of kindliness, handsome Mr. Manningham is torturing his wife into insanity. He accuses her of petty aberratives which he has arranged. himself. Since Mrs. Manningham's mother died of insanity, she is more than convinced that she, too, is losing ·her·· mind: Whlle ·her :diaqolit:at husband is out of the house, a benign police inspector visits her and ultimately proves to her thai her husband is a maniacal criminal, suspected of a murder committed 15 years ago in the same house in which they now live. The officer tells her that Mr. Manningham is planning to dispose of her.
Tingling Drama According to a reviewer, "An
gel Street" is a tlrama of tingling suspense guaranteed to hold the audience gripped to their seats until the fall of the final curtain."
Tryouts will be held today and tcmorrow afternoon. in the Little Theatre room of the Alumni Building. :Qirector Bennett asks that all interested in this production stop by and try out.
Wake Forest Debaters Place In Tournament The Wake Forest debate team
attended its first tournament of the year Friday and Saturday, November 17-18 at the University .of South Carolina in Columbia.
The girls affirmative team composed of Clara Ellen Francis, and Ann Kelly came out in first place in the girls division, tied with the women's team from South Carolina. Miss Francis earned Wake Forest a second trophy by being acclaimed the number one woma:z; debater in the tourney.
action packed minutes, and final-· ly wound up in a 6-6 deadlock.
Leading 6-0 with only a minute and a half left to play, the Deacons' one touchdown margin appeared to be fairly safe.
However, State got its passing attack functioning and quickly moved for the tying score. With the ball resting on his own 20, Mooney went back to pass but couldn't find any receivers open and was forced to run, getting all the way up to the 30 for a first down.
Quick Score A Mooney pass intended for
O'Rourke was ·batted down. But on second down, Mooney pitched out to O'Rourke behind the line of scrimmage and the State fullback found wingback Jimmy Smith all alone on the right sideline and lofted a long pass which the Pack speedster caught on the dead run and went the remaining distance for the score.
Ray Sarkouskie's attempted extra point try was wide.
With only a minute of play remaining, Nub Smith took the following kick-off on the 11 'fllld got away for 31 yards to the 42. A first down Davis pass fell short of its mark, but on the next play the slim Deacon quarterback spotted end Jack Lewis on the State 40 and fired a pass that brought the Baptists another first down. · The£e ~as t,ime for only one play left; and Davis was caught behind the line of scrimmage and · fumbled, with State covering on the Wake Forest 35 just at the sound of the final gun. · Deacs' Score
Wake Forest capitalized on a punt blocked by tackle Jim Staton late in the first quarter 'and rolled to its only score. The Deacons covered the blocked punt on the State 22.
Aided by a key block thrown by halfback Nub Smith, Guido Scarton skirted left end for 12 yards and a first down on the 10. The Deacons were caught off sides on the next play and were penalized back to the 15. Miller then wen; off the right side of the Pack line and gained five yards.
After hitting left tackle for three yards to the seven, Scarton again found a hole in the left side of the State wall and quickly moved over for the Deacons' only score of the game. Carroll Blackerby's pass for the extra point was incomplete and the Deacs led 6-0.
The Deacons had many 'scoring opportunities and were ahead in practically every de,partment of play, but just couldn't seem to click inside the ten yard line. The State line, battered by Miller, Scarton and Smith for considerable gains, appeared to be at its best whenever the Deacons came knocking at the touchdown door.
Wake Forest's big set of forwards wasn't up to its usual form, but managed to turn in a worthv performance. Leaders in the Dea~ line were tackle Jim Staton, who blocked two punts, and ends Jack Lewis and Ed McClure.
' 't Camp Mason was appointed a
permanent member of the committee (previously temporary) which will cooperate with the Phi society in arranging for the Founder's Day contests. Mason will be assisted by Jean Shaler and Marceline Humphries.

The Deacon running trio of Smith, Miller and Scarton gained almost at will, except inside the ten, to add another outstanding showing to its long list of impressive ball carrying displays.
Friday Night Pep Rally ·Termed Season's Best
School spirit reached an unprecedented high Friday night at the Pep Rally preceding the Wake Forest-North Carolina State game. Hundreds of pajama-shirt-clad students marched around the campus carrying lighted torches and chanting "Beat Cow College. Beat Cow College," led by the band, majorettes, and cheerleaders. Chief Cheerleader, Doyle Bedsole . ·planned and directed the rally.
The main feature of the program was a bonfire at the parking lots on the South Side nf the stadium. Freshmen who experienced their first shirt7tail parade at the rally heard Dean D. B. Bryan, Ray Jones, chief cheerleader in 1949 and Johnny Gardner, chief cheerleader in 1948, speak.
Following the bonfire, the band, under the direction of Professor Thane McDonald led a cheering mob of students back to the campus, going through the downtown area of Wake Forest in the wildest snake-dance of the 1950 season:·
It was disclosed that the topic for the debate between the societies will be: "Resolved: that the United States should grant inde-' pendence to Puerto Rico."

Orations and declamations highlighted the Monday night program of the Philomathesian Literary Society. Contests are continuingto pick speakers to. represent the Society against the Eu's in the Founder's Day contest.
The wirmer of the oration division was Billy Joe Mauney who spoke on "The Challenge to the Individual to Participate in Democratic Government."

CHANCE OF A LIFE-TIME Tuesday week Wake Forest College will in
augurate a man ;vho seems certain to go down in the annals of the school as one of the greatest men ever to wear her presidential mantle. He is the man who will guide, this Baptist institution through the straits of transition .and out into the sea of her most glorious years. He is a man whose name will be remembered as long as Wake Forest College stands.
Thus, this is no ordinary ceremony next week, it is a once-in-a-lifetime inauguration. College presidents are not inaugurated every day, and men of this caliber very seldom in· deed. As far as we are concerned, the student who misses this .occasion is in the same category with he who scorns a national presidential inauguration for a movie.
And Dean Bryan was not speaking idle words when he said that the "College needs for vou to attend." With some 500 guests on the 'campus, the more stndents there are at the inauguration, the better the guests will catch the true spirit of this campus. Good im· pressions on all of the visitors might mean a great deal to Wake Forest.
But most of all, the student n·eeds to go for his own benefit. It is a chance not to be passed up.
BOYCOTT THE THEATERS Last week, the Old Gold and Black voiced
its oppo~ition to the four and 14-cent raise in night and afternoon mo-vie prices in Wa1<::e For~ est, sayi11g that in view of the c1elapidated con~ dition of the theaters tl1emselves and in view of the fact that in many places prices have not been rahed correspondingly. the move was not justified. Ho·we-ver, to get the owner's side of the picture, the Old Gold agreed to write :U.Ir. H. P. Howell of Smithfield, the owner, for his reasons for the price hike.
We wrote 1i!r. Howell last Tuesday morning, asking for a reply by Friday, our editorial deadline. When Friday night arrived, and, we still l1ad received no repl~r, we placed a , 'phone call to :Mr. Howell in Smithfield. The operator reached his residence, but there she learned that he was in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he was expected to remain for at least two more weeks.
Meanwhile last week, a motion to boycott the Wake Forest theaters was brdught before the Inter-Fraternity Co1mcil; instead of taking action, l10wever, the Council also decided to write Mr. Howell for a statement of his reasons for the price increase. Likwise, a group of coeds agreed to boycott the movies last week, but were enjoined to await the arrival of an answer from the owner.
So an impasse has been reached. Whether :Mr. HowelJ.. knew of the Wake Forest opposi~ tion before he left for Florida, we don't know. If he llid. then l1e eYiclentl:v has clecidecl to ignore it. If he clidn 't, it stili will tal'e a long time to get n repl~· from him in West Palm Beaeh, and \\.,. ake Forest students 'clon 't ·want to con.tinne to pay the 35 anc1 ten per cent })dee increase that long-. The quickest way to ~{'cnrc lowered rates seems to us to be defi:uitC>h- t11e better waY.
Th.e ag:e-old borcott would seem to be the quickest stndent weapon, in fact it's about the only om. 'l'hns \1e fincl ourselves approving the motion brought before the IFO and advocating tllat Wake Forest students simply stay l\1\·a:· from the local cinemas 1mfil some action is taken. If all ·wake Foresters will cooperate. it shoulcln 't take long, for it'll be slim pickings for the "flickers" without the stnilellt trade. For once, fraternity mall, nonGreek and coed must stick together in a common endeavor. In the same spirit of all-colleooe unity with which we lwve supported our grid t.eam, we can see to it that our Student Body can collectively save quite a ooood bit of money in the next couple of years~
If the Wake Forest movie houses had just been remodelled or improved in some way it might be different. If the pictures shown w'ere consistently good, it might likewise be another matter. But neither is -true. In 'Very few theaters in the state do yon pay 44-cents afternoon and night to sit in poorly constructed uncomfortable, poorly· heated and dirty h~uses. In many cities~ there are much nicer theaters that charge less fare. · It is true that' we get some good movies here
but if there weren't some redeeming :feature' there would be no· sense in having theaters: But notice we said "some good movies." They are by no means consistently good. In fact there are weeks here in which nothing worth seeing is presented. And on Saturday nights, when the many students who stay here on week ends are looking for relaxation, there is usually

nothing better than "Lash LaRue" cavorting across the screen.
We think that it is unfair for Wake Forest students to pay 44 cents to see a movie in .a second-rate theater; therefore, we urg~ every student not to patronize the local movie houses until Mr. Ho,vell either low~rs liis prices or gives us· modern theaters and better pictures.

UNITED, WE BUILD REYNOLDA Juding by the unanimous vote o:f the Baptist
State Convention last Wednesday to allow the Trustees to begin building at Winston-Salem as soon as they deem it wise, the entire Bap~ tist denomination seems to have united wholeheartedly behind the move of the College. From th most liberal Baptist thinker to the most exacting ftmdamentalist, there was not a dissenting voice heard when the ~rustees P.re~en~ed their request for autl;lorizatwn to begiD bmlding.
Such unanimity where there has been such disagreement might have been considered unusual bnt for the fact of Wake Forest's new leade~. He is a man whom men can't help uniting behind. With no axe to grind, he has come here thrown himself wholeheartedly into the mov~, and pushed it forward with l~~ps an_d bounds where before it \Vas only walkmg. H1s efforts and the natural confidence which he inspires in others have not gone unnoticed. Everywhere at the Convention he was greeted by the ovati~ns which can only mean tremen~ dous popularity.
Contrary to the definition which says that Baptists are people that, from two of whom; you can expect three opinions on ~hatever, the denomination has evidently decided that Reynolda is a dream worth achieving, and that Dr. Harold W. Tribble is precisely the man to achieve it.

Dear Editors: In regard to your editorial in
last week's Old Gold 8lld Black concerning the recent increase in movie prices at the local.theaters, I would like to say that I agree whole-heartedly with everything, you said. In fact, it is my opinion that the picture is actually far .worse than you have painted it.
I have inquired around and have not noticed an advance in ticket· prices elsewhere. · In fact, last Wednesday night I went to the Colony theater· in Raleigh where· I enjoyed a new picture in a clean theater that had every seat properly elevated. I paid only 36 cents.
How can the local theat!;!rs be justified in raising their prices to such an unfair level? Could it be that ·the management thinks we are in such a position that we will pay their prices regardless?
As a heretofore regular moviegoer. I would like to state that never before do I remember four high calibre pictures showing at Wake Forest in the same week, as was done this past weeli:. Could this be, as I believe, a bribe to encourage students to submit to unfair prices? . I believe that unless prices are
lowered, we, the students, should take definite and organized action against the local theaters by refusing to patronize them until the management recognizes our right to fair prices.

WAIT'S TIME WAITS A few weeks ago au Old Gold and Black
reporter unearthed a rather weird tale about two students "wl1o said they saw a clock in the little gable '\indow of Wait Hall one Sunday afternoon." Along with a great number of stuc1euts, we read the mysterious story ·with interest and \YOll(lered if there "really were a clock up there.'' A week later after the enterprising rrpol'ter l1ad climbed into the attic of Wait IIall to continue his investigations, we learned that there actually was a dock in Wait Hall, that it had been presented to the College in 1934, that later mechanical difficulties had developec1, and that the clock neYer was repaired for some reaso11 or other.
The reporter even proppec1 tl1e clock up jn its former position in the window just to let the other students see that it really did exist. And there it has remained ever slnce. It's a little one-sjdecl, but the gold numerals on the black face probably look just as well as they ever did. The great number of students who have glanced at the east window of Wait Hall since the clock was discovered have £irst exclaimed "Why, there is a clock up there!" after which they generally add "It's a beautif11l one, too.''
But the hands still do not move. It's been three minutes before twelve o'clock in Wait for three weeks now. We think that the clock should 'b repaired. Aside :from contributing to the general appearance of the building, a time-piece in a prominent place sueh as the Administration Building would be a valuable asset to many persons. We think the student body should take the clock under its wing, give it some new springs, and set the hands to going· again. Perhaps tbe Student Council <or some other campus organization) could sponsor the project. The repair costs probably would not .be too mucb and encugh students are interested in the mo'Ve to help defray the expenses.

it must have been during the era of the old farm bell. There was not the slightest similarity in the sound produced by the steel bell and the tone produced by the huge bronze bell. It seemed that the traditional bell of Wake Forest was to become a pleasure of the past.
And now today, amid the hustle and bustle of more modernized ideas and while thousands of other students jump to the sound of the electric buzzer on the wall or eye anxiously the light above the door we continue calmly to strain our ears for the first mellow booming from the belfry of Wait Hall. We even have a student who bulls .the rope in order to awaken us at the end of a class period. It seems that the traditional bell will ever remain an inate part of the institution.

The reading habits of the students have changed very little trhough the years between 1883 and 1950. Books on history, biography, travel and literature lead the fieid in '50, as they did in '83. These are followed closely by social science, religion and philosophy. Next comes a group of books dealing with science, fine arts and useful arts. Next to last are the general works ( encyclopedias, bibliographies, and journaliSm boks), and last are the language studies. No record is ke:Pt of the circulation of best-sellers, but it is evident that they are quite popular. Life, Time, Newsweek, and Reader's Digest are the most-read magazines, yet nothing in the library can compare with the demand for the home-town newspaper. In '83, though, there was a type of reading that apparently out:-stripped all these other forms, and which was the pause of the editorial in the first lace.

Va:-boshed Readers · Commentaries, histories, arid bi
ographies were the most widely read, the editors of the '83 Student rejoiced to discover. However, they added honestly, ·most literature of this type was read only under compulsion. On the other hand, the editors observed the entirely non-compulsory but widespread practice of novel-readjug with their collective hands upraised in horror. It wouldn't be so bad, they opined, if the "better" novels, i. e., those written by Scott, Reade, Dickins, Simme, Thackery and others were the most popular, but these were only the also-rans. Instead~ the unabashed student of the roaring '80's chose "those of a much lower order: Tempest and Sunshine, Deserted Wife, Buffalo Land, Syl.,. via's Lovers, Forgers and Detectives, The Planter's Daughter and scores of others."

"Say, Shorty, has the . latest shipment of 'SEE' magazines come in yet?"
Almost any time day or night and on into the wee hours of the next morning remarks such as the a:bove can be heard at that place known to all Wake students as "Shorty's", one o:f the many institutions of Wake Forest. There are no neon lights, no glittering marquee, an dno slim-limber chorus girls to keep you entertained while they keep taking off flimsy niceties amidst showers of applause from the subdued males in the audience.
The Click Of Cueballs No, only a simple legend in fad
ed gold letters proclaims what is behind that faded brown awning and corrugated· glass window: "Shorty's, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers." Inside ten red stools face a long black counter and a row of much carved school desks is backed up against the opposite wall, usually occupied by a number of students who have more time .than money and read magazines from the variety stacked on the adjoining rack. There is the smell of frying hamburgers, the reek of onions, the blare of a battered juke box, and coming from the back room are the sharp clicks of the cueballs on four tables. There are stacks of drinks, shelves of soup, the latest in practical jokes, and if you're in the mood for some deep concentration Shorty has a com-
plete library that includes nearly every quarter novel pocket book that has been published.
A rack of strictly fresh eggs sits near, the grill, waiting the omolet call, and three silent Silexes are busy producing the caffeine necessary for any who might have to ~dure the long hours. The mirrors into which fhousands of former students have , gazed are behind the counter, and there is a glass case you can look through to see frankfurters ,sizzling on a hot plate, with the ·mustard jar and a dish of chopped onions nearby. The oatmeal cookies and other delicacies line the counter and long-armed standees reach over your shoulder to make selections.
That is Shorty's. Not just another place of business, a roadside grill where you spend a few seconds to froth at the mouth and stagger away, nor a high class restaurant where you turn white when you glance at the check, but Shorty's is an institution and Shorty himself is a tradition. He is a little man whose hair stayed long enough to grey and then started to leave. He is always chewing on the stump of. a cigar which somehow or other manages to stay just so short. This man behind the counter is Millard E!iward Joyner, that's Shorty.
Ran A Movie Shorty came to Wake Forest in

came to rest in its present location. That was in 1939 and Shorty turned his business adventures towards other lines. He built the Collegiate Theater, which burned mysteriously in 1940. He rebuilt the theater but later sold it, either because he was afraid ot arson or because Roy Rogers had to stop singing, or because Clark Gable had to quit making love to . the film's leading lady every time the northbound whistled along the Seaboard Airline Railroad.
Shorty is now ·5o, and has very definite ideas about love, business and the life of the current Student Body. Immediately following the last war-(number two, that is)he said that the majority of the students were younger, ·but, he says, more serious. There used to be a lot of horseplay, hazing l!nd haircutting, and compared to the old days, the kids of today are rather grown-up. The veterans all seem to be rather solid citizens, too, the king' of the hot-dog emporium observes. The co-eds? They're fine, Wake Forest did the right thing letting them in, he says.

FOR SALE Extent Of Reading
The extent of novel reading came in for more blasting than the type of novels read. For instance, from the 13th to the 21st of the month, a certain Mr. X read six novels. Not to be outdone, from the 12th to the 26th, a certain Mr. Y read eight. And all of this, remember, back in the Dark ·Ages before Wake Forest became co-ed! Who said that women were the · greatest novel readers? Evidently, it was also before the college adopted those two modern innovations, classes and homework.

1948 and 1949, King saw very lit-tle action although he did manage to average better than four yards per try during the latter part of ·' · the '48 season.

SPORTS WARNINGS By Wiley \Varren
THE END OF AN ERA
On a thousand green fields with chalk-barred lanes across the nation, young football giants will run loose for the final time as the 1950 season, filled with its share of accustomed upsets and shining new accomplishments, hears the bells toll and watches 'ol Father Time beckon it to its place in the record books.
Among the young giants who will answer the kick-off for the la,st time of the '50 year are a burly band of Baptists, brilliant lffid rugged .oftentimes-a team that has come off the floor of a dismal '49 season snarling '"ith invincible spirit. Employment of specialists for attack, other specialists for defense, and an unsurpassed willingness to win, Wake Forest's dauntless Deacons have reached those rare old heights that has brought relief to the '49 Peaheadaches. . ..
That doesn't mean that 'ol Peahead hasn't had heart trouble and
aches and sighs this. year, because no coach would be a coach unless he was accompanied by 11·orries. But as mentioned previously, 1·elief has come by the bundle and has brought many Walker smiles instead of frowns. ·with malice towards all and charity to none, the Deacons have declared the end of an era. Gone are the days of easy pickings in the football land of the Magnolias and the Deacons.
South Carolina fans will get the opportunity to see just what has brougllt about this sudden change Saturday afternoon in Columbia. The game l\ill be the finale for the Deacons in regular season' play.
REVENGE IS ALWAYS SWEET
Revenge is what the Walkermen will be after Saturday in the affair with the Gamecocks. Last season, the South Carolina team surprised the Deacons by whipping them 27-20 in a rugged battle that could very easily have gone the other way.
However, do·wn in the Palmetto state, Coach Rex Enright doesn't have the same crew returning that dished out that beating. Gone from the South Carolina ranks are a pair of husky ends and two talented linebackers who made the Gamecock defense click. This season, Enright has been faced with the problem of finding line replacements for the losses by graduation.
As it appears, not many capable substitutes have been found, for the Birds have posted only three wins and two ties in eight games played to date. Lowly Citadel handed the South Carolina club a humiliating defeat, one that stunned the realms of the Southern Conference. Marquette University battled the Birds to a 13-13 tie and the Gamecocks led Clemson all the way only to have its defense collapse and allow the Tigers two touchdowns and extra points for a 14-14 deadlock. ~

Beaten in their .last start by the University of North Carolina fresh, the Deaclets nevertheless have compiled an admirable record. Duke was beaten 19-13 in the opening game and the Baby Baptists marched to an impressive· 32-7 victory over William and Mary's Papooses in the following game. North Carolina State's Cubs suffered a 2_0-6 setback at the hands of Sanford's crew.
Two-Team System Sanford will probably call on
his two-team system again in the Carolina game. This defensive and offensive strategy has paid off in victories thus far for the Deaclets.
If the Deaclets should win the toss and elect to receive, an offensive combination consisting of ends Robert North and Robert Abbott, tackles Bobby Tate and Vance Williams, guards Earl Shields and Fred Matthews, center Dave Francis, halfbacks Hillenbrand and Kovalchux, fullback Sonny George and quarterback Joe White will probably get the call.

Baptists· Battle S. C. Birds At 2 0' clo~k Saturday
SatUrday Win Over South Carolina Gamecocks Would Climax Successful Football Season
For Wake Forest Eleven Wake Forest's Demon Deacons close their 1950 regular season
schedule Saturday afternoon when they make their annual trip toe Columbia to meet the Gamecocks of South Carolina Uni. versity. The kick-off has been set for 2 o'clock at the Carolina Stadium which expects its 34,000 seating capacity to be filled before game time.
The contest will -also be the final of the season for South Carolina, which has posted only theree wins in comparison to 'three defeats and two ties. The Gamecocks hold wins over Furman, George Washington, and Georgia Tech. The two ties came with Clemson and Mar-quete. ·
In Slump Since the Clemson game, a 14-14
battle, the Gamecocks have met dismal failure. Coach Rex Enright hopes that the Birds will snap out of the slump before· the Deac test.
Wake Forest, having one of its better years, may occupy the favorite's role by one and possibly two touchdowns. But the fact that the contest will be played on the Palmetto club's field, these odds may very probably be erased.
Last .season, Wake Forest was established as a touchdown favorite, but wound up on the short end of the score--a touchdown loser. The Deacons plan to gain ample revenge for that 27·20 loss.
Defense Work The Gamecocks, like the Dea
cons, were hurt by graduation losses last spring. South Carolina lost two regular ends and a pair of linebackers that were given credit for turning a poor defensive line into a formidable wall for the Birds last year.
yards per carry. A big Deacon line, which has
denied opposing backs a great amount of yardage on the ground, may turn out to be the difference between victory and defeat Saturday afternoon.
Wake Forest possesses a 11-!t edge in the Deacon-Gamecock series which was started in 1909. Two of the games have resulted in ties. Since the beginning of the Walker regime, Deacon elevens have copped eight wins and have lost only three. (One of the victories came in 1946 when Wake Forest clipped the Birds 26-14 in the annual Gator Bowl.

The only thing t11at South Carolina folks have had to boast about this year has been 1 the running of halfback Steve Wadiak. Tabbed by many as one of the finest backs in the South, Wadiak has the reeords to show just how goo(l he really is.

To ofiset a fairly weak line, Coach Rex Enright has the South's finest halfback in Bishop Strick· land and Steve Wadiak. These two backs do most of the ball carrying for the Gamecocks. Another back that Enright has a lot of confi· dence in is fullback Chuck Prezioso who averaged over five yards per try last season.
N.Y.· Giants Call Up Ex-Deacon Nicholas
In the six games that he has played, "Cadillac" Steve, a name that his teammates have given him, plowed into opposing lines for 814 yards. He carried the ball no less than 119 times for almos~ seven yards gained c\'er:> time that he ran with the ball. That record has placed him seventh in the nation in rushing offense.
Big Steve's chief assistant has been bouncing Bishop Strickland, a senior halfback who has the power and speed to do anything that \Vadiak fails to complete. In fact, the only real weakness in the South Caro!ina backfiel_~__is at the quarterback spot.
Enright has selected Ed Pasky, a senior with limited experience, to handle the signal-calling duties for thl' Gamecocks. He has improved with each game and rates now as a classy quarterback. The Deacons remember Pasky well enough from last season. Pasky was pesky enough to intercept a Deacon pass behind the goal line and sprint 101 yards for a touchdown, one that all but broke the Baptists' back.
FINE BACKS-RUGGED LINE-WINNING TEAM
If there is any back-breaking to be done Saturday, the Baptists intend to do it this time. A win over the Gamecocks would climax one of the most successful football seasons that the Wake Forest gridders have en.io:red in several years. South Carolina fans will get the chance to see a. pair of the finest runners in the conference when Guido Scarton and Bill 11-Iiller, the Deacon's "Mr. Outside" and ''Mr. Inside" combination come on the field. ·
Miller continues to lead the Deacons in rushing offense, having gained a total of 517 yards in 130 carries. The most outstanding thing about Miller is that he is seldom thrown for a loss. Opposing lines have stopped him only twice during the season for a loss of yardage. Scarton has been just as impressive as the pile-driving Miller. The Deacon little man has averaged nearly five yards per try on 97 trips. He is the Deacon scoring leader, with six touchdowns to his credit.
The frosh have been holding nightly drills for the past three weeks under Coach Harold Bar-' row, who is in his third year as freshman mentor. The practice sessions have consisted mostly of fundamentals-dribbling, passing, foul shooting-and have usually ended with an intra-squad scrimage.
Coach Barrow's forces looked exceptionally well in tying Coach Greason's varsity last week; however Barrow says that he "{!an't tell too much yet. The boys taven't ever played together before and that means a lot when you are trying to pick the first five," he commented.
The SQ.uad The squad consists of .!:(uards:
Everette Eynon from Woodrow Wilson High in Washington, D. c., Bob Quinn from Lawnwood Prep of Onley, Maryland, Dick Jones,. all-stater from West Frankfurt, Illinois, Billy Lyles, all-conference and aU-stater from Wilson, Louis Stevens from Garner, and Bill White of Tabor City, ~orth Care-ina. ,
The forwards are: Garry Allie, all-conference player from States· ville, Jack Williams, all-stater from Johnston City, Illinois, and Ray Lipstas, all-stater from Ber-
and if this was the case his surprise starter in the person of Tom Donahue turned out to be a very wise move. The heretofore unheralded Deac cen~er and linebacker proved to be a terror to the Devil's offensive plans.
A discription of Donahue's performance against the Durham eleven was most ably stated by Mr. Hugo Germino of the Durham Sun. In his column, the writer said and I quote, "One of the unsung heroes of Wake's triumph over Duke last Saturday was sophomore Tom Donahue, of Altoona, Pa. Up to that time, the 200-pound center had been running second string to Bob Gaona, another sophomore.
"But Donahue made such an impression with Coach Peahead Walker during drills last week that the mentor decided to use him against Duke. And what a game he played! He backed up the line like a real Demon, batted down three Duke aerials and in· tercepted another. And he made more than hi~ share of tackles.
After Tom's high school career was successfully closed, the race among many colleges was begun in an effort to secure the services of the handsome gridder. "Slewfoot," as his teammates call him, chose to enroll at Wake Forest be.cause he "liked the guys on the team" and because Wake Forest seemed to be an ideal place for him to pursue his goal-that being to enter Law school. Tom hopes to become a :rp.ember of the F. B. I. after his graduation sheepskin has been acquir'ed, but his ambition may be somewhat delayed because Uncle Sam has given the likable Donahue a deferment until April 3, 1951.
Frosh Star
During Donahue's freshman year at Wake Forest, he proved to be a very capable center and linebacker and he alternated with Gaona at' this position. The husky defensive ace saw only limited service for the Deacs this year until he received the starting nod against the Blue Devils.

Deacs Need Win Wake Forest, needing a win over
the Birds to climax a highly successful footbali season, intends to spend plenty of work this week preparing a defense for the South Carolina T-formation. The Deacon line play improves with every game, along with the pass defense, but Walker plans to place the Baptists through rugged practice sessions in order to be ready for anything the Gamecocks have to offer.
Extra points, a department in which Wake Forest continues to be woefully weak, will get a lot. of attention this week. Quarterbacks Carroll Blackerby and Ed Kissell, and halfback Nub Smith will get penty of work on educating their kicking toe.
One-Two Punch
The New York Gi'ants have cal-· led up Harry Nicholas, former Ileacon ace pitcher who spent the 1950 season hurling for Jacksonville, Florida of the Class A Sally League.
The announcement of Nicholas's opportunity to gain a spot on the Giant pitching staff was confirmed recently in a telephone call from Jack Schwartz, assistan~ farm director of the New York club.
Nicholas, who had an impressive 8-3 record in his first season of pro ball, has been ordered to report to the Giants in the spring of 1951.
The 21-year old :fast-bailer signed with New York at the close of the NCAA District III baseball tournament held in Kannapolis last year. Nicholas was beaten by Alabama in his only start in the tourney by a one-run margin after eleven innings of play.

The independent winners are a big club and have the strength up front to keep the PiKA's from gaining too much yardage on the ground. Leaders in the Hunter line are Ray Lipstas, John Kotecki, George Bartels and Herman Allen. Setting the pace in the backfield for the Hunter team has been Tunney Brooks. Billy Lyles and Billy Mason.
The Hunter gridders were undefeated in the seven ,contests that they played and h!id very little trouble in gaining top honors -in the independent circuit.
The PiKA club, p~ced by Junie Floyd, Jennings Agner and Doc Murphrey, and linemen C. D. Clark, J. D. Batts, and Jim Bowman, were in a tight race for top honors. The PiKA's and the KA's battled neck and neck right down to the wire. In the game that placed the PiKa's in first place. they beat the Kappa Alpha team by an 8-0 score.
Above are the champions of the Independent Intramural Football team. They will play the Fraternity League champions in a playoff game for the cam pus title. In the usual order, they are: first row, Ray Lipstas, Tunney Brooks, John Kotecki, Dick Jones and Jack Williams; second row, Herman Allen, Billy Mason, AI Black and Addison Howard. Not present when the picture was taken were Freddy Poston, Billy Lyles, George Bartels, Gary Allie and Tony Urbanik.

It's P. D.'s The Scarton, who has carried the
ball 97 times, has rolled up a total of 458 yards rushing for an average of 4.7 yards per try. He also leads Wake Forest pass receivers with 14 catches, good for 147 yards and two touchd-owns. Scarton moved into the team scoring lead against Duke by adding touchdown number six to his impressive record.
Wake Forest passers improved their record in the Duke game; Prior to the Duke test, the Deacons had completed only 34 out of 78 passes. But in the games with the Tigers and the Blue Devils, Wake Forest passers threw a total of 48 passes and hit on exactly half of them. Present passing records show the Deacons with a total of 126 attempted aerials and 58 com..: pletions, for a total of 734 yards.
Within the next two weeks, the major teams in the Southern Conference will have ended another grid season-the 1950 edition of football in this region has been spectacular to say the least, with thrills, upsets, and finesse being displayed in almost every fracas. For the last time fuis year, let'e predict the winners in this week'~ outstanding Southern C::onference contests.

Wake Forest wind up their thusfar successful season down in Columbia in a rough battle with the Gamecocks from the University of South Carolina. Led by Steve "Cadillac" Wadiak, the Gamecocks boast a terrifically strong running attack. The Deacs, on the other hand, have the line to, stop most anything and the backs to literally run over anything, so I pick the Deacs to close their season with a win over USC by twothree touchdowns.
Well, it's been fun fans and the season has presented gridiron thrills that would make anybody yell. As for the predictions-well, there has to be a little of everything in a newspaper!

Service Group Plans. Fox Tells Be.ta Rho • About Mexican Plants
Number Of Projects Dr. w. B,. Fox of the Botany Department of State College in Raleigh presented the program at a regular meeting of the Beta Rho Chapter of the Beta Beta, honorary biology fraternity.
The Christian Service Group rec'ently disclosed a number of the major special projects it is undertaking during the present semester. The projects are as follows:
By JEWELL LIVINGSTONE Mr. Gordon Brightman, Repre
sentative from Jann and Ollier Engravers, visited the campus las! week as the guest of the 1951 Howler. During his stay, he gave many valuable suggestions to the staff, informing them of the urgency to meet their deadline, and also ~ntributing many hints which will heighten the quality of this years' annual.
Arriving Wednesday night while members of the staff were completing copy for the 1951 Howler. Mr. Brightman was very enthusiastic over the way last year's yearbook is shaping up, He stated that it would be a book which students could al\vays be proud of; a book which is simplicity itself, and which has a definite personality.
Congratulates '51 Howler Mr. Brightman, a dynamic per
sonality himself, spoke to the Howler staff with a great deal of enthusiasm. He informed Editor, Bet Isbell that the '51 Howler was not in as bad a shape as she had led him to believe, and congratulated her on setting an all time record by sending in material for
engraving so early. In past years the engravers have had nothing to work with any earlier than Christmas, he said.
Mr. Brightman held lengthy discussions with v~rious members of the staff, telling them just what procedure to follow to get the best results. He proposed that the copy writers meet once a week to discuss copy that has been written. and thereby attain a higher quality. He also met with the business heads and gave useful ideas and approaches for selling advertisements.
Book Out On Time He thought the staff was very
enthusiastic and stated that he saw no reason why the book would not appear on time. Mr. Brightman also commented on the excellent variety of talent on the staff, especially in the production and photography departments.
Thursday morning he stayed in the Howler office until noon talking with various staff members. On the whole, he was very much pleased with the progress of the '51 Howler and seemed much impressed by the cooperative spirit of the staff. This was the first
::-------------- time in two years that he had had the opportunity to speak to the

Humor Section The last section of the book will
incorporate special events and humor. These special events will be on ordinary happenings, typical scenes that are evident in everyday college life. It will feature the use of old pictures from Howlers dating from 1903 which will tie together the theme of the book, which tells the story of how the past and present history of the college foretells the future.
The staff is now working on the Student Activities section. Work on the Sports section is in the main completed, and the next section which will be dealt with is the one on Special Events.
Wednesday night six members of the copy staff, along with Dr. Snuggs and Dr. Folk, completed 100 pages of rewritten copy for the 1950 Howler. This should further the progress of getting that book out sometime in December.
Lack Of Co-operation Editor Isbell stated that a lack
of student and faculty cooperation hindered the 1951 Howler to a large extent. Only 1212 stude!4i~ out of 1700 had their pictures made for the book, and only 44 out of 111 faculty members had theirs made. This fact was partially attributed to the lack of interest among both students and faculty alike in Howlers of recent )ears.
Bet Isbell, editor, and Fred Upchurch, production manager, will both remain on the campus during part -of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidavs to work on the / . book. Every effort is being made to get the Howler in the hands of the students sometime in May.
Plai·ntiff Wins Appeal Before Wake "Court"
Charles Lee, Glenn Fincannon and Donald Greene won in their plaintiff's appeal to the Supreme Court of Wake last Tuesday evening. The court, in handing down this decision, reversed the decision of the Superior Court.
The case involved an insolvent debtor who had given away all his property to a relative. Separate suits were brought against him by his two creditors, who each won judgments against him, and who each had subsequent sheriff's sales of the land. Separate individuals, were the purchasers of the first and second sales. It followed that both could not own the same land, so one of the purchasers brought suit against the other, the defendant. But the lower court held that the defendant was entitled to the land. Whereupon the plaintiff appealed to the Su · preme Court of Wake, and received a favorable decision.
The court stated that although the quality of the briefs was equal, the counsel for the plaintiff seemed to be better on previous preparation, and the other counsel the better in replying to the questions of the court. The counsel for the defendant was McNeill Watkins and Stuart Curtis.
