Woodberry again kicked to V. E. S. but recovered the ball on the kickoff after a Bishop fumble. But before the Tigers could advance, "Lil AI" Williams rose up to inter- cept a pass on the 25, and the Bishops again began to march. Pritchard carried the ball to the SO on a triple reverse, then a pass to Perry and a run by Lee advanced it to the Woodberry 30. But the Tiger line stopped the Bishops, and Woodberry took the ball ju::.t as the quarter ended.
Fourth Quarter
Woodberry marched to a first
down, but lost the ball when Lee intercepted o n e of Davidson's passes. The ball then changed hands three tmes as neither team could score a first down. But Davidson again began to pass, and the Tigers marched to the 4. A penalty put the ball on the 9, and the Bishops held. Koch's punt was partially blocked, and taken by the Tigers on the 30. Davidson pas~ed to Bucky Horton, who made a beautiful catch on the

The midwest, as usual, holds the grid spotlight for 1944. Notre Dame
has turned out another spectacular team and Purdue, Great Lakes, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio State are not far behind.
Arm)', Navy and Penn are the big shots in the east but Navy seems weaker than was expected. Army has two great backfields, including Doug Kenna, Glenn Davis, Max Minor, Dale Hall, Bobby Dobbs, and a couple of other prospective All-Americans.
The South
North Carolina Pre-Flight and Georgia Tech rule the roost in the South with a strong Wake Forest team supplying plenty of surprises. Duke and U. N. C. aren't so strong a.s usual, but the Blue Devils have given both Navy and N. C. P1·e-Flight tough fights during the past two weeks.
Randolph Field is the whole show in the Southwest, as is Washington U. in the far-West. Some may recall the name of the Randolph Field tailback. It's Bill Dudley, ·who played his college football somewhere near Charlottes- ville, Va.
Baseball
The St. Louis Browns, by a margin of one game over Trout and Ne·w- lwuser, alias the Detroit Tigers, met the St. Louis Cards in a "street-car" world series. The Brownies possessed the fight but lacked the batting punch to down the more well rounded Cardinals who took the series, four games to two.
