Since 1924 Deaccr.3 Have Defeat
ed Carolina by I.Iargins of
One to Thirteen Points.
. From 1907 to 1923 the Tar Heels
held the sign over the Deacons it
seems, for during this time the games
were all won -by Carolina. How
ever the tide seems to have turned
and now the Deacons have won four
, straight. Tomorrow .holds forth" to
the Blue and : White'. supporters the
chance to stem the tide, to the Bap
tists a chance to extend their string
of victories. '
Looking back we see that in"l922
the Tar Heels put out a team that
by virtue of its stellar play won the
title of "The Wonder Team." On
September SO -of that year the state
; papers carried the story of Carolina's
overwhelming defeat of WakeForest.
The score was 62-3. From the first
the game was a route. Soon Coach
Fetzer put in his second and a little
later his third team. These were the
days of Monk McDonald, George
Sparrow, Merritt, arid" Red Johnston.
These four men were outstanding and
.time and again broke away .for runs
of twenty to fifty yards. Grady
Pritchard, present freshman coach,
was "captain of this team. 1
The opening game of '23 took place
on Emerson field with Carolina ad
ministering a 22-0 defeat to "the
. Demon -Deacons. Rabbit Bonner,
George Sparrow, and Emmett Under
wood featured. Sparrow was lost to
the team in the second quarter when
he broke his; leg . when tackled after
twenty yard run. This gave Under
wood his chance, and he was the star
of the fray. In this game Billy Dev
in and Robinson also began their var
sity careers. Bonner with two touch
downs, Sparrow -with one," and Mc
Donald with a field goal were the
scorers for the Tar Heels.' - Casey
Morris, end, captained the team. -
. For the . first time since 1907 the
Deacons broke through the. Tar Heel
defense for a 7-6 victory in 1924
Rain and- new soft field' hampered
the Tar Heels to a great extent. Af
ter only four minutes of play, Flash
Greason scored Wake Forest's touch
down. Ellerbe added the extra point
which ultimately proved to be the
margin of victory. Soon Carolina un
leashed a steady attack that was not
to be denied. Merritt carried the ball
over and Sparrow, pace kicking, miss-
, ed the try for extra point by inch
es. The game resolved into a punt
ing dueL Carolina had only one more
chance to score during the game:
during the latter half they had the
ball on the fifteen yard line. How
ever this was lost when Devin - fum
bled and Wake Forest recovered. Bill
Devin and, Murray Greason were the
stars. .' - . . '''''
V In 1926 the Tar Heels again went
down in defeat. This time the score
was 6-0. The game was witnessed
by a crowd of eight, thousand people
who saw Sparrow and Fordham of
Carolina carry on a punting , duel
with the Deacon star, Rackley. The
punts of each side averaged thirty
seven yards. The only touchdown
came when Sparrow's punt from be
hind his goal line was blocked and
recovered by Bill Ellerbe, Wake For
est guard, oa the three yar,d line.
It required two attempts for the Bap
tists to push it over from here. This
- game marked the beginning of Gar
rett Morehead's long career on the
varsity. Robinson and Mclver were
the individual stars of the game. Each
broke through to throw opposing
backs for losses several times.
' With the opening of the 1926 sea
son, the Notre Dame system was in
troduced at Carolina. The opening
game was won by Wake Forest 13-0.
This was the largest margin by which
the Deacons ' had ever ' defeated the
Tar Heels. The loss was due chief
ly to inexperience of the men, only
thre veterans being in the fray. The
running, punting, and passing of cap
tain Rackley of Wake Forest was the
outstanding feature of the game.
Both touchdowns were made as the
result of passes. Schwartz, Whisnant
and Morehead put up a wonderful
defensive game.
Early in the second quarter
Schwartz cut off a possible Deacon
touchdown when he intercepted a
forward pass on the ten yard line.
The Carolina coaches used numerous
substitutes while Wake Forest ran
in only five. '..'.'
The result of the game last year
is only too well kknown. Wake For
est with a team far inferior to ours
seemed to get all the breaks and de
feated U.N. C. 9-8. ,
The pre-season outlook presages
victory for the Tar Heels today and
it looks now as if they are destined
to overcome the jinx that seems to
have been following them in the Wake
Forest tilts for 'the last four seasons.

Oar Predictions! v
Personally, J am unable to make
any predictions as to the score of this
afternoon's conflict and I am almost
unwilling to hazard a guess as to the
outcome, but there is one thing of
which I am certain. It has not taken
a great deal of guess work nor has it
taken any unusual amount of brain
power to arrive at the conclusion that
the Carolina team ought to win this
afternoon. I have never sought the
honor of being a dopester, but one
does not need much experience at
picking the winners to be able to say
that a team that is almost intact from
the preceding year's play is a prob
able winner against a team with only
three or four experienced men on it.
If the Carolina team loses this af
ternoon there will be no alibis. Co
fall is likely to bring a good bunch of
players over here, but we hardly be
lieve that any coach can whip a bunch
of inexperienced players into a good
team. Wake Forest will be playing
for the "breaks," but if i the Tar
Heels let them get those ."breaks"
and convert the said "breaks" into
touchdowns, then its time that Coach
Collins and his assistants break up
the tentative team and start building
a new one. The coaches have worked
hard to; get a "thinking" team on the
field for this game, and its up to the
eleven men starting the game or the
eleven men who replace them when
the starters begin to- loaf to show the
Carolina supporters that the coaches
have something more; to work with
than a bunch of numbskulls. One is
apt to talk about the "breaks" going
against the team,- but smart football
players make the "breaks" go" their
way. A coach can show a bunch of
men how to play football, but he
can't play the game for them.
This article is not supposed to be
a brief telling the readers that Car
olina is going to win, for believe that
almost anything is likely to happen
in a Deacon-Heel conflict, but is mere
ly giving an opinion gleaned from
constant attendance at the practice
sessions during the past week. Finally,
it may be said that Carolina expects
the team to win, but if they fail "to
deliver" no one wants any alibis such
as "the breaks were against us" for
no team except one composed of a
bunch of numbskulls will let the
"breaks" go against them. I am not
making optimistic predictions in say
ing that Carolina ought to win, I'm
contending that if they don't win it's
nobody's fault but their own.

Freshman Material ;
The several freshman coaches have
a likely looking group of men out for
the frosh eleven this'f all. Some of
the players have made reputations in
prep and high schools before coming
here, others are practically unknown.
Being particularly interested in prep
and high school 1 ootball, I know a
little of the reputation of most of the
freshmen who boast of anything even
pertaining to a reputation. This
year, I am reasonably well informed
as to the ability of most of the play
ers. Equipped with this information,
I watched the youngsters scrimmage
the varsity during the middle of the
week. I can't say that past reputa
tions meant anything to the varsity.
They took great delight in running
roughshod ; over highly touted line
men, and they showed equal delight
in running between the highly valued
backs Somehow or other the men
with the reputations didn't look so
"hot." But I was agreeably surprised
with the showing of some of the fresh
men who were just "out for the team."
The yearling coaches have some real
material from which a cracker-jack
freshman team may be moulded. They
have some men out who showed when
they scrimmaged the varsity that
they know how to do what they are
told and can fight. After all, fight
goes a long way toward making , a
successful football player. Look at

"THE FIRST KISS" MADE
WHERE AUTHOR MADE IT
A motion picture "The First Kiss"
was filmed in Maryland, more, than
3000' miles away from Hollywood. It
opens at the Carolina Theatre Mon
day.'.'". . . V : - '
A little more than one year ago,
Tristram Tupper, short story writer,
and a Virginian by birth, spent his
customary vacation in a houseboat on
the Miles River, near St. Michaels,
Maryland, Here - he conceived the
story of "Four Brothers" which ap
peared in ' a national magazine a
short time ago. It dealt with" the
love of brothers, the love of a boy
for a girl and was laid entirely in

is a let-
all of the ..four classes throwing the
discus, running a modified 50 yard
low hurdles, and broad jumping. The
final week will call for each of the
classes., to throw the javelin and at
tempt the pole vault.
These events have been planned
and divided so as not to put undue
strain on any individual, and so as to
be run off with greatest . speed and
facility by the officials and coaches.
At the conclusion of the three weeks,
the result will be tabulated and pu
blished in both the "Tar Heel" and
the leading dailies of the state. ,

Gym Glasses to Get Track
Work Every Week; Starts Soon
Intramural Department to Select
Best All-round Athlete
from Freshmen.
Who is the bes.t all-round athlete
in the' freshman - class? On first
thought that is a question that seems
impossible to-answer, but that is ex
actly what the Intramurial Athletic
Department will attempt in a new
event on the fall athletic program. f
The Intramural officials staged
the first open decathlon last May, with
all students; of the . University eligi
ble to enter. They will use a similar
method of discovering the best athlete
in the freshman class, with all' mem
bers of "Doc" Lawson's first year gym
classes competing through a modified
decathlon over a three weeks period
beginning next Wednesday afternoon.
- The plan in brief calls for all" the
freshmen in the gymnasium classes
we say ALL because attendence will
be checked just, the same as at the
regular classes to run through a pro
gram of eight events. Each indivi
dual's time and distance on the vari
ous events will be recorded and compared-
with the existing University
marks, and the complete reports will
be studied to determine the young Tar
Heel who makes the best all-round
record." , - ;-'
-The Program for Three Weeks
There are four separate divisions
of the freshmen gym students, two
classes ; meeting at different hours on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and
two others meeting at scheduled times
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
afternoons. Each of those four

"Bad Breaks" are the bane of
many a good football team.
Barring them, we would say
that Carolina is due for. a
win today and we're backing
the boys for. a victory.
We can't: think of a worse
break than having some skin
disorder or j itch that just re
fuses to be cured.
Gonich will do away with the
bad breaks. It's a sure win
ner. Guaranteed satisfaction
or your money back. Try it

At Your Druggists
classes will go to Emerson Field one
day each week for three weeks to com
pete in from two to three events. The
track coaches are cooperating, and
varsity lettermen will act as officials
in running off the events.
Each of the four classes will have
regular days to run their events as
follows:
(1) . The class that meets at 4:40
o'clock on Monday, ' "Wednesday and
Fridays will report to Emerson Field
nextJWednesday at 4:00 o'clock, and
on each Wednesday after that for
three weeks at the same hour.
( 2 ) The class that meets at 4: 40
o'clock on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturdays will report to Emerson
Field at 4:00 o'clock next Thursday
and on each Thursday for three
weesks.
The Eight Events" to be Run
The program of events for com
tition will be the same for each class
on its first day of. competition, and
will continue the. same on each of the
succeeding days.
On the first day out on the field
each member of each class will enter
the shotput, the 50 yard dash and the
