Although the home town of the famous Tornado eleven monopolizes back field honors, they also have several boys filling places in the forward wall. The most outstanding of these is Raleigh Drennon, guard on Coach 'Alexander's eleven. He is playing his last season for Tech. Governors to Attend Thanksgiving Classic Governor Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia, and Governor Angus W. McLean, of North Carolina, have ac cepted invitations tox be guesti of honor at tjie Virginia-Carolina foot ball game to be played on Lambeth Field Thanksgiving Day, D. E. Brown, Graduate -Manager, has an nounced. This is to be the 33rd game be tween the CavaU.ers and Tar Heels within the 35-year period since the initial gridiron contest between them in 1893. Twenty of the games have been won by Virginia, nine by North Carolina, an.d three years hare" been tied. The Kenan stadium was dedi ' cated in Chapel Hill last Fall with a 14 to 13 victory for the Carolinians. Accommodations are being planned on Lambeth Field for the largest crowd that has ever seen a football gam a, in the Old Dominion..

A BATTLE OF TITANS Big Fight Expected Between Schwartz and the "Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech." HANY SIDELIGHTS FOR GAME TODAY Rival Cheering Sections Will Furnish Colorful Back- ground for Clash. M'Dowell Has Tunney At Least One Better Jack McDowell has gone Gene Tun ney one better. " The former North Carolina State College athlete has taken on some of this literary stuff, too, just like the boxing champion craves to lec ture on Shakespeare and others of like repute. T Jack steps ahead for the time being by using his knowledge in teaching English courses to Asheville high school students, in addition to coach ing the school's football backfield candidates. The ' sidelights of the Carolina Georgia Tech football game in Kenan Memorial Stadium here this after noon at 2:30 o'clock may be as in teresting, as the game itself, which is carded as one of the outstanding events on .the Dixie schedules One of the most colorful crowds of the year will gather to see the two elevens battle, with a large aggrega tion of Georgia Tech fans out of At lanta slated to occupy a special sec tion in the huge concrete stands. Hun dreds of the jTech student body will ride the special train that arrives in Chapel Hill today and dispatches from the Tornado headquarters say that Tech is sending a band of 120 pieces. Matching the "ramblin' wrecks from Georgia Tech" will be Carolina's own section, with its huge uniformed cheering section. The nationally fam ous "Carolina Cheerios". have given way to a larger outfit composed of the members of the University fresh man class, and Chief Cheerleader Bill Chandler has prepared a program of special stunts for today's battle. These freshman Cheerios will pa rade into the big Kenan Stadium be fore -the game, clad in their pictures que blue coats and spotless white trousers, staging maneuvers before the stands before they rush to their own big-block of seats in the South stands. Between the halves the rival bands will stage their concerts and maneuvers, blaring at each other from the opposite sides of the field, and the Carolina yearlings will have another opportunity to strut up and down the field. ' - AH these maneuvers go to add color that indefinable something that dis tinguishes an American football crowd -and the entire show will take place asrainst a background of 25,000 or - 30,000 spectators banked high in the concrete stands. 1 Two of the greatest centers in the South will meet " today when the Tar Heels battle the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech in Kenan Memorial btadium this afternoon. Captain Harry , Schwartz will lead the Tar Heels into action, and at the same time will face a tough personal scrap with Captain Peter Pund of Georgia Tech. ) Neither of the big boys has met his match many times in either inter- schojastic or intercollegiate compe tition, and their meeting today will be a battle of Titans. Each of the husky pivot men is playing his last year of college football, and the game this week may settle which of the two rates best the mythical All-Con ference , berth for. the season. - , Captain Harry Schwartz has risen to his rank - on the Tar Heel squad through the sheer brilliance of his play all the way through, and there has seldom been a game that he has not been an outstanding player on both offense and defense. His work behind the line in the Carolina-V. P. I., game here last week was of the same steady type that he always showv and many times he brought Peake and Spears low after they had crashed the first line of Carolina's defense. " Peter Pund has been one of the bul warks of the Golden Tornado defense for nearly three seasons now and he easily ranks the class of the lower section of the Conference. He is husky and built for powerful driving on offense, and Schwartz has his work cut out if he stops the big "rambling wreck from Georgia Tech." Certainly that individual battle will be worth watching. , GEORGIA PLAYS FIRST TIME IN NORTH CAROLINA Tar Heels Have Met Golden Tornado Three Times in Foreign Fields. v Tech Fullback Bob Randolph, full back for the Golden Tornado eleven', is one of the Atlanta boys playing on the .powerful Tech eleven. He has played for two years on the Tech team and along with Bob Durant quarter, back are the only seniors who are playing regularly in the iirst two backfields for Coach Alexander. The Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech invades North Carolina today for the first time in the history of southern football, and it faHs the lot of the University of North Carolina eleven to entertain the Tornado on this first sortie into the South ; At lantic section. - In jpast years the fast-movine Tor nado backs and hard-charging, for wards have pushed Tech up on a pin nacle m Dixie j similar to that long neiq oy tne "Big Three" in the East. Way back in the fall of 1915 Cap tain Dave Tayloe led a fighting Tar Heel eleven into Atlanta, but it was no match for Guyon, Flowers, Fincher and other famous breezes of the Tor nado. Tech won that game 23 to 3, but all experts concede that the Geor gia outfit was mighty, lucky to win the 1916 game 10 to 6. "Yank" Tandy ed that ,1916 outfit into the Georgia capital , and for sixty minutes kept the Tornado on the run. Only the breaks and a hairbreadth defensive enabled the Tornado to win by a field goal margin. Last year it was another case of the loser doing the ground-gaining, but 'failing to score.

' x , Galen EUiott Helps Train Heel Cindjermen Galen Elliott, former All-American miler who carried Tar Heel colors to cinder, fame during the last three years, is back at his Alma Mater training for the indoor track season. He plans to, compete for either Bos ton Athletic Association, New York Athletic Club or the Illinois Athletic Club during the coming winter. In the meantime he is helping Coach Dale Ranson train the Tar Heel cross-country team that will bid for a third straight Southern Conference title. Another. Atlanta boy who has made good at the Atlanta institution is Warner Mizell. He is one of the regular halfbacks who will start against. the Heels this'" afternoon. Mizell is only a junior this year and has excellent chances of heiner All- American calibre before he concludes his services at Tech. . Roper Seniors Make Extra Good Record Seniors in the Roper , high school last year . made ; nearly 'a ten-point higher average than thV medium aver age for all the high schools in the State, it was revealed today by a re port filed with Principal E. N, Riddle by official research workers ; of the University of North- Carolina. The State average was 82.9 against 92.5 for the Roper school. There were eleven students in the senior class last year who took the tests in the Roper school on eight subjects including two tests on read ing comprehension, history, lan guage, literature, science, French and mathematics. There were about 12,000 students jn about 500 high schools in the State who took the exr 'amiriation.

INTO'STILT Father Lumpkin, Tech Back; Will Match Wits With Second Year Men. Tech Star I V v my The sensational sophomores mav play stellar roles in he Carolina-Tech game in Kenan Memorial. Stadium here this afternoon. The Tar Heel youngsters bore the brunt of the at tack against V. P. I., and Tech places much store "on the line-crashing of the gigantic Father Lumpkin, a sopho more fullback. - This same Father Lumpkin has been touted by far'' southern sports scribes since the opening workouts of the season as the embryo of the South's greatest back of all time. He stands well over six feet in his socks, and he packs a heavy cargo at ex press train speed when he socks the enemy lines. He has successfully crashed every line the Golden Torna do has met this fall, and Atlanta fans don't believe Tar Heels can stop him. 1 ' . ." - By the same token, Chuck Collins and his Tar Heel coaching forces will present more, than y one sophomore star to match wits with the towering Lumpkin. Wyrick and Erickson, a lair of promising young field generals, are both sophomores, and Jimmie Maus, Jimmie Magner and Strudwick Nash have already crashed the head lines for. their ball-carrying abilities. Pete Wyrick, diminutive?.-. quarter back, generaled the Tar Heels through much of the V. P. I. contest i and shoved over both the Tar Heel touch downs. A pass from Wyrick to Nash netted the first score, and another forward heave from Maus to Wyrick accounted for the final touchdown. Still other passes from Magner to "Stumpy" Thomason, listed as be ing from Atlanta, is probably the most outstanding man in the Yellow Jacket backfield. He was known as the out standing sophomore back in the south last year and in the first few games this season is making a strong bid for All-American" honors. High Schools Filing ' Football Applications High schools which plan to enter their football teams in ' the annual state high school football champion ship contest for this season are now filing their entries with the executive committee of the State High School Athletic Association, it was announced here today by E. R. Rankin, secretary of the association. The schedules for play! in the cham pionship series east and west, will be drawn up at conferences of officials of the various high schools concerned, which will be held at Raleigh and Salisbury early next week. Participation in the contest is ppen to all member schools of the associa tion which desire to join and which submit eligibility blanks in qualifica tion of their players under the stan dard association regulations govern ing the contest. v The New Hanover high school is the present holder of the title of l state high school football champion- amp. me iinai game oi tne season for the state chamoionshiD in the contest of last season was played by the New Hanover and the Greensboro hieh school teams in the new Kenan Memorial Stadium at Chapel Hill "on December 5, 1927. The hard fought game between the finalists resulted .Maus and Magner: to Nash were the 1 2T?7 07 - i i. Mi-i. i .i m , . . , score oi to b. threats that put the Tar Heels into scoring territory. - ' V Those passes were not the only threats unleashed by those sophomores either, for Magner, Nash and Maus broke loose at different times for long gains. Followers of the University team are pointing out that the Golden Tor nado was necessarily on edee f or the Notre Dame game ,in Atlanta last Saturday. It will be hard for Bill Alexander to keep the Tornado-keyed up two weeks in succession, and the Tar Heels may catch Tech durinsr just such a slump and win in one of the season s upsets. - A very, successful state high school football championship contest is ex pected this season. Both Carolina and Georgia Tech operate their backfield forces from Notre Dame formations. The Tar Heels work their line and backfield according to the Rockne system as taught by Chuck Collins, Bill Cerney and Rex EnrighV Georgia Tech uses Rockne's plays for the backfield only, with Don Miller, former star of the famous "Four Horsemen,' instruct ing the Tornado ball-carriers. Now is the time to subscribe to the TAR HEEL.
