GRADUATE WITH TEAM year period between 1896 and 1913, playing an annual game except in 1899 and 1901 when there were va cant dates. Five times, during that time the battles resulted in scoreless ties, and the Gobblers and Tar Heels divided the spoils. More often, however, the Techmen from the Old Dominion emerged with the big end of the bar gain. Statistics show that the Gobb-, lers won nine games, while the Tar Heels won just two. -v ' The scoreless deadlocks came in 1893, 1900, 1902, 1906, and 1911. Three of the first six games were knotted that way, and V. P. I. won the others. North Carolina's "first victory came in 1904 when Hunter Carpenter, later an All-American half at V. P. I., was a star for the Tar Heels. One year later Carpenter led the Gobblers to a 35 and 6 victory. The Gobblers won the last meeting on record by a 14 to 7 score in 1913. This season finds the two old rivals boasting strong teams, and the tide of victory may swing either way.

THE UNIVERSITY LAUNDRY takes great pride with students and alumni in the University's great record and takes this opportunity on its-435th birthday of wishing it the same great success in future years which it has enjoyed in the past. The Doiwsiiy Baseball has other hazards than the bean ball and the spiked leg. The snake bite is the newest baseball in jury, it seems. During a fall practice baseball game at the - University this week, Henry M. Sinclair, 20-year old out fielder, from Winter Haven, Fla., was bit by a small brown spotted snake when he left the outfield to retrive a home run. Henry Satterf ield, shortstop, swat ted a ball way over the head of Sin clair and into the forest. Sinclair found it laying in a bunch" of leaves. As he stooped to get it, the small snake lifted itself from the mass and bit the outfielder on the middle finger of his right hand. - Sinclair returned to his post in left field but soon came in complaining of a sick and dizzy feeling. Coach Ash more ordered the wound opened, Sin- clair sucked the poison from the fin ger and was rushed to the Infirmary, where the' wound was cauterized. The bite did not prove serious, and Sin clair expects to resume practice in a few' days. - Send the TAR HEEL home. Continued from page one) best opening game in the three years that Horween has been in charge as head coach. In fact it showed enough promise to warrant the hope that the Crimson is at last on the way to lift itself out of the ruck and resume the high position it held before the war. Indications are' that neither team has the line it boasted in years past. Both lost heavily by graduation. Both have several youngsters filling holes made vacant by . the loss of veterans. Both were pinning their hopes on the ability of these youngsters to come through. However, Harvard is re ported as having a heavy line. In the line the outstanding men are Tim For rester, 6 feet, .5 inches in height and 210 pounds in weight; Red Barrett and Foster Davis, tackles; Cunning ham, Parkinson, Trainer, Shaw, War ner, and Bill Ticknor, guards; ! and Ben Ticknor, Bigelow, Gildea, Rich ards, and Dorman, centers." Little concern is shown over the center of the Crimson line,-but the tackle posi tions are worrying the coaches a bit. The Harvard CQaches have half dozen or more men out for the flank positions. From Pickard, Douglas, Burns, Prior, O'Connell, Baldwin, Harding, and Odgen. Coach Horween expects to pick his wingmen. When one mentions the backs at Harvard, Coach Horween is apt ' to smile, for he has enough material to make even "Gloomy Gil" Dobie smile With Captain Art French, Dave Guatnaccia. Wallace Harper, Tom Mason, Eliot Putnam, and Joe Pot ter, all veterans, available for service again and such good-looking sopho mores as. Tom Gilligan, Batchelder, Huguley, Sumner, Putnam, Graves and Greeley also in running, Harvard has its finest collection of backs since Horween took , over the reins of the Massachusetts - institution. The Carolina coaches are also pin ning their hopes on the finest collec tion of backs that the Carolina insti tution has ever known. Never before has a Carolina mentor had such men as Ward Spaulding, Foard, Whisnant, Gresham; Nash, Maus, Magner, Michaels, Wyrick, Erickson, Jackson, House,, Harden, and others to call on to step in and fill a breech. Some of these men have experience while oth ers are playing collegiate football for the first time. But they all show promise and they are the best collec tion that a Tar Heel coach has ever had. . V " ; ' The line is not weak, but it laeks' the power that former Carolina lines boasted. In Captain Harry Schwartz, Sapp, Holt, Presson, Howard, Farris, Adkins, Blackwood, Shuler, Hudson, Eskew, and Lipscomb, Coach Collins has a fine looking group of men. Per haps Captain Harry Schwartz is the greatest center ever to dori a Carolina uniform; When he is ' flanked by either Shuler and Blackwood,- or Hud son and Eskew, the Heels have strength in the center of the line that will compare with that of any team. The rest of the line is not as strong in reserve strength, but has power in the first line-up. BOXERS BEGIN FALL PRACTICE Butler, 1927 Captain, Coaching Pugilists In Absence of Rowe. ' V EYES CORRECTLY FITTED W. B. SORRELL The boxing squad, about forty strong, 'for the past week has been working out daily at the Tin Can at o'clock in the afternoon under the direction of Ed Butler, Southern ama teur middleweight champion and cap tain of last year's team, who is ini cnarge during the absence of Uoach Crayton Rowe. The men thus far have been going through light train ing paces, but on Monday the work will get underway in full swing. Captain Charlie Brown is already showing the same aggressiveness as heretofore and is expected to be a very valuable man this season. Vau ghn, freshman bantamweight of last year, is showing up well. Theae are also several other promising looking candidates out for the daily workouts. Sapp and" Donnahoe are now with the football squad but will more than likely be back again with the. boxers this winter. - - Acting Coach Butler expressed the wish that all men in any way inteest ed in boxing or in learning the art of self-defense would report Monday afternoon to the Tin Can at 4 o'clock since no weight has been definitely won by any of the men now out.
