THE.CONCORD TIMES
FOUR N C. TEAMS WIN
IN WEEK-END MATCHES
Wake Forest Takes Measure of South
Carolina Champs.—Duke . Secures
Victory Over Wolford • j
The last week-end of football for
the 11)88 season has been played and i
fans in North Carolina are looking
forward to Thanksgiving gaihes for
the windup of the year's grid activi
ties. • .. I
Some cosolation to asnuujc tuo
arising from the fact that collegiate
football is nearing an ond for another
twelve-months was garnerod when
four of the live Xortli Carolina teams
playing teams in other states were j
successful. AVake Forest, Duke, Le
noire-Tthyne and Elon were all sue-1
cessful. State lost, and Carolina |
and Davidson were idle in anticipa
tion of Thanksgiving events.
AA’ake Forest gets the lion’s share
of the honors with Duke as runner
up. s The Demon Deacons aided ma
terially in elevating theif splotched
record when they smashed through t
t’iie Furman “Purple Hurricane” for
a JM> victory, incidentally Upsetting !
a goodly number of pots containing 1
select football dope.
People who had seen the Furman
team ih action at Charlotte were al- ]
most uniformly of the opinion that
AA’ake Forest was in for a good beat ]
ing when the two Baptist institutions
met. The North Carolinian*, how* j
ever, showed a marked superiority at
all times. Their touchdown came
ij)s a result cf a blocked punt but they !
had nevertheless ’aad a drive which ]
their oppouentsl acked. A strange
feature of the game was that neither ,
team was able to get any forward pass
into operation, nineteen being tried
with only three successes. Both have
been good in this ut previous games.
Student* at the Baptist institution
have two victories to be elacted over
this week, their football team’s win
and their president's victory in tlie
Baptist convention.
Furman, incidentally, has already
copped the South Carolina state cham
pionship. which makes the AA’ake
Forest victory all the more impres
sive.
Duke, which has had her fborst sea
son since the resumption of football
at that stliool. showed that the recent
Hashes were not spurious by beating
AA’offord, in-an exhibition of straight
football. The Spartanburg team was
outclassed, seemingly, in every de
partment of the game. •
Chief in the offense, was the work
of Caldwell. Duke's shining light, who
was largely influential iit making the
touchdown. The score was G-0.
Davidson's squad, which was sitting
on the sidelines, was brought to the
realization of the fact that the Tur
key. Day contest will npt lx* a set-up.
In fact. Duke is considered as having
an outside chance of bringiug n dis
astrous season to a brillinu dose.
State's rejuvenatioii*wa* insufficient
to stem the tide of end runs and line
plunges in the game with AA’asliing
ton and Lee and the North Carolin
ians lost by a score of 14-0. To be
beaten two touchdowns by the Gen
erals is tio disgrace and in order to
have kept them fmm more tallies,
State must have put up as nice a
brand of ball as they have played
this year.
The Washington and I/ce team i*
one of the strongest in the South,
having a spotless record.
A'irginia was beaten several weeks
ago two touchdowns by AV. and L.
which gives an indication of the ex
cellent work which the State team
di<l.
AlacDowell’s punting, though a bit
erratic, seems to have been the out
standing performance among the mem
bers of the State eleven.
Little trouble was experienced by
Lenoir-Rhyne in defeating East Ten
nessee State Normal, the final score
being in the neighborhood of 45-0.
Spurlock was brilliant for tin* Luth
erans.
Elon, after a series of losses, at
last broke in the win column by beat
ing Emory and Henry College from
A’irginia. The work of Raul was
outstanding. He was dubbed the
“Red Grange” of the game by his
j admirers.

An Occasional Column
By MILES WOLFF
L -
j I fear for my prestige as a sports
writer.
j With that omniscience given only to
scribes in this line of endeavor, it has
foeen my custom each Thursday to
dope out the winners and the losers
| among the various football elevens and
then publish my very unique findings
in Friday’s Tribune. Thus readers
of this incomparable daily are given
inspired utterances which they could
get in no other newspaper.
| During the greater part Os the sea
: son, the plan has worked admirably.
!-(>n several occasions. I have really
J done remarkably—well, with only a
minimum number Os mistakes. Doubt
ful cases afforded an excellent oppor
tunity for straddling j the fence, so
that ail went well until last week.
Perhaps success had gone to my
head. At any rate. I declared with
| fervor after my Thursday afternoon
seance with the schedule of games for
j the week-end, that all the North Car
olina squads engaged in combat on
, Friday and Saturday would lose. 0$
rather I declared that the major teams
;—State, Duke and Wake Forest, would
take a tumble. Alas for human frail-
I ties. TwO of the three teams I had
been certain would fall, triumphed ov
er their opponents, leaving my prophe
sy high and dry.
Friends, who have comloled with
me athee tin* games were played,
! gently but insinuatingly suggested
that I pick Virginia as p winner in
j the * Carolina-Virginia classic. They
are Carolina supjmrters. They seem
to be of the opinion that this is alB
that is necessary to secure a victory
for the Tar Heels. One man in the
Times-Tribune office, I shall not give
his name, made a veiled threat
what he would do if I didn’t predict
Davidson to win o\xr Duke in their
impending clash.
However, the worst bIW came in
this morning's—mail when I received
a letter in which a person who sign
ed hi* name as "Vox PopuH,” Stated
that he was casting his vote for me
as captain of the All-American team
of sports writers. Although flattered
at first. I was indignant to discover
in the closing paragraph of his epis
tle that Kc had placed me on his All-
American team of Atrocious Pickers
aud Worst Writers.
I shall stop picking winners—that
is. after Thanksgiving. In the mean
time, don’t you think Carolina will
beat Virginia?

SYLVIA NORMAN.
Hugh Walpole's latest novel. “Por
trait of a Man with Red Hair,” was
not nearly so interesting to me as was
his book. "The Old Ladies.” At the
same time, I shall have, to admit that
it is among the better of the volumes
I have recently read.
To begin with, luv is too slow in get
ting started. For almost a hundred
pages, he is preparing the reader for
events which are to follow. Much of
this opening is^ description, which is
fatal in almost any modern novel.
After he does get istarted, however,
he holds attention with a most unusual
sequence of happenings. One thrill
ing incident after another occurs to
Charles Percy Harkness (the hero of
the book). The story is only concern
ed with the happenings .of one night
in the hero’s life but they are such
that they change his character to a
marked" degree.
An element of mystery in tin* book
adds to the suspense, which makes it
comparable to Mary Roberts Rine
hardt’s "Red Lamp.” Os the two, the
latter was to me the more interesting.
However, Walpole’-* book' is better
written and should be read by anyone
who keeps up with modern fiction.
One description, typical of the
beaaty of his writing, is quoted here:
“What he immediately confronted
was the garden of the hotel. The
sun was slowly setting in the west,
and great amber clouds, spreading out
in swathes of colour, ate up the bluej
"The amber flung out arms as
though it would embrace the whole
world. The deep blue ebbed from
the sen. was pale crystal, then from
length to length a vast, bronze shield.
The amber receded as though it had
done its work, and myriads of little
flecks 6f gold ran up into the paJe
blue-white, thousands of scattered
fragments like coins flung in some
God-like largeness^,

bcring on Increase.
Chicago, Nor, 23.— (A 3 )—Harboring
at home appears to be on the increase
in the United States. The desire-of
women with bobbed locks to keep the
backs of their necks neatly trimmed is
largely rsponsible for it. Three of the
largest mail order houses, here report
increases of fioin 35 to 75 per cent in
the sale of hair (dipper during the
last year and a half.
Not only does bobbed hair sdyle de
mand close neck trims and shaves,
but mothers and fathers have taken
to clipping the hair of their children.
There haa. been no fear expressed,
however, that the i barber shop will
ever be supplanted by the parlor
barbers.

was given a preliminary hearing here
today before Squire J. E. Agio and
“was bound over to Superior court
without right of bull. Superior court
convenes here next Monday with
udge P. A. McElroy presiding aud
this case will likely be heard at that
time-
Thre eye witnesses to the shooting
were offered this afternoon who gave
substantially the same testimony.
From the evidence given Smith and
Gregory were standing talking and
angry words were passed, where
upon Greggory stated to Smith. “I’ll
shoot you.” reached for* his gun and
'at short range shot Smith full in
the breast. Whereupon Smith turn
ed and ran and when at a distance
of about 20 feet Gregory shot a
. second time. Smith went about 75
yards farther, fell and died in a short
time.
Just what led up to the difficulty
has not ben learned. It is rumored,
however, that Gregory . had charged
Smith witlt\ having used abusive
language to Gregory’s wife the eve
ning before. It is ,rumored that
Gregory has killed two men prior to
this homicide but under what cir
cumstances it is not known here. '
Money Set at Good Task.
1 Greensboro Patriot.
Benjamin N. Duke gives out his
money .$50,000 at a time. It’s a long
week that doesn’t see Mr. Duke put
ting out for some college.
He selects the denominational col
lege. those that have not the great
resources of a great state beehind
.them, but have to look for supiwrt to
the people of the churches. It is a
big help to get $50,000. Mr. Duke
doe* not select any one denomination,
but gives to the colleges of many.
The denominational -colleges do a
great work. If it were not for them
the State institutions would be
swamped, unable to take care of the
flood of students.- In addition, they
stress religion ami that is a good
thing when judges, solicitors and oth
ers are commenting on the fact that
the courts are filled with young luen
as defendants.
Mr. Duke is putt’ng his money to
a good task. The sp<),ooo gifts he is
making will bear heavy dividends, not
paid in cash but in something better.
Mou-staches Urged by a Methodist
Bishop.
T. B. Laney in Monroe Journal. x
Bishop Denny says wear a mous
tache. The only thing to do to dis
tinguish Women bob the hair
and wear pants and the only thing for
men to do is to grow the wisp of hair
on the upper lip. Get beyond them,
wear the moustache, and this great
Bishop'was doing just what he advis
ed.
And the Editor of the Journal, was
presented with an he
advised his barber to leave them uloue.
Let them grow and regardless of color
or style they will be looked on as a
blessing to distinguish men from his
frau.
Then I>. I?. Syudey, of the Union
Finance Company caused his trusty
razor to shy away from the upper lip
and leave the iparker for he was tired
of being called Miss or Mrs. And as
walk down the street you see a man
that was once as clean us a girl's face
Yome staggering along behind the
brush and seme of the beard are so
rank and wooly that the English «par
rows have already built their nests
there for winter quarters.
And this is not all. Often you see
the eyes of a mouse peeping yut from
this brush because he foa;*s to ven
ture. But up" on u jaw bone
lie is comfortable and just think man
lms’ got to endure all this, to distin
guish himself from some fair maiden.
The girls first bobbed the hair and
man thought it was awful. Then she
shaved the neck and when the heavy
quills like the porcupine began to
grow.' naughty man quit neck kissing.
Then they clipped the back of the head
and put on knickers. Then it was
the great and good Methodist Bishop
cried aloud, turn out your moustache.
I>o something to distingirsh man from
woman.

NO INTERFERENCE IN
BUSINESS SAYS COOLIDu;
1 President Promises Business No In
terference if Activities Be Confin
ed to the Legitimate.
New York. Nov. I!).—President
Coolidge tonight held out a promise to
business that it need fear no interfer
ence frqm his administration so long
as It confines itself to legitimate a<-
tivities. i
Addressing one thousand New York
business executives at the 157th an
nual banquet of the state chamber of
commerce, he emphasized the desira
bility of the "largest possible iude
, pendence between goveernment and
, business”; declared that busine.-s
, should be “unhampered and free”;
> admitted that "proper regulation and
control” of business, are "disagree
able and expensive.” and expressed /lie
belief that, judged by its condnet
during the last few years, business can,
be trusted to' keep its own hou-e in
order.
Carrying out his thought that gov
ernment and business "each ought to
to be sovereign in its ow n sphere,” the
President said:
"When government comes unduly
under the influence of business, the
tendency is to develop an administra
tion which closes the door of oppor
tunity, becomes narrow and selfish in
its outlook, aud results in oligarchy.
"When government enters tin* field
of business with its great resources.
, It has a tendency to extravagance and
inefficiency, bith having the power to
crush all competitors, likewise closes
the door of opportunity and results in
monopoly.” ' *
Repeatedly during his address the
President was applauded ,his audi
ence giving approval to his expressed
attitude toward business: to his ap
iwal for continued government econ
omy* and efficiency: to his appeal, for
American adherence t > the world
court.
"I can think or no more assuring
action,” said Mr. Uoolidge. "than the
declaration of America that it will
wholeheartedly join with others tin
the support of the tribunal for the ad
ministration of international justice
which they have created. v
Citing George Washington a, a
leader who did not hesitate to meet
peril, edeounter danger or make sac
rifices. the President, appealing for
support for world court adherence, de
clared tluit "we must meet our perils;
we must encounter our dangers; we
must make our sacrifices: or history
will recount that the works of Wasu
ington have failed.”
BLAMES CREW MEMBERS
FOR WRECK ON A. C. L.

Reports Submitted to Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Washington Nov. 20. — (A 3 ) — Re
sponsibility for the head-on collisif-u
of two Atlantic Coast Line passenger j
trains near Mango. Fla., on October

Monger and Knginemau Susses of the
Southbound tjain No. SO, in the report
of the director of the Bureau of snfe
ty, as made to the Interstate Com
merce Commisiou. One person was
killed und 111 injured in the wreck.
The misreading of a "meet" order
by\the engineer was considered the
direct cause of the wreck. Failure of
the engineer and conductor to allow
subordinate train officers to read the
orders as required by law was held
in the report to have prevented a
clfeck on the message which probably
wouM have averted a collision.
