Saturday, December -8, 1928 THE TAR HE E L Pae Thrcs" Grid. Dust from the Grid Pan University Sophomore Backs MISUNDERSTOOD! Evidently many of' those - who read Thursday's column misunderstood our j meaning in the last paragraph where -we asked the question, "How many ! Carolina men would defend the Car- ' olina goal posts in the event Duke happened to win the game." They took it as a challenge to the students -of our Jieighboring institution to try and .get the uprights if they happened to -win. 'It was not intended as such, for there is no reason on earth why we should try to provoke a fight be .tween the -students of the two uni versities. It was merely a question of howjmany of the Carolina students were going to stand by the team win or lose. It was intended as such and not -as ;a cnanenge to a siuaeni oouy half the size of this one. THE COACHES 1 This ; afternoon Carolina plays its last football game of the 1928 foot ball season. Whether we win. or not, the season has been a ' success, not that we are expecting to lose, but one cannot evade the fact that Caro lira .has - en joyed success during the past campaign. " . , After this game the question of -whether the coaches are to be retained or whether new ones " are to be se cured will arise. It' is the" policy of this department to advocate the re- base our support' of the present coaches on observations made from. almost constant attendance at both practices and games. To begin with the present coaches, Coach Collins in particular, has in stilled in the TarJtieei elevens some thing that former teams have lacked. They have taught those players that a Carolina. team is never beaten. That .regardless of the odds against them they can always come back and win. Those players have put that informa tion into practice on more than one occasion. Carolina teams in the past have staged comebacks, but, never with the frequency that the 1928 eleven has done. The team that will take the field this afternoon never knows when it is defeated. Notre Dame teams have been famous for n, or.w.a "NrvrfW r.nrnlina teams will OAUX. T V ' ; - hp famous if we retain Coach Collins and his assistants. For the first time since the new t - ' r,.oVi renins coacnes were euijjiujrcu, v. has had some good material. He has worked lone " and hard to install a system radically different' from any ever taught here before, into a buncn of olavers "who knew little . or notn ir.o. ahffnt 'the svstem. But he has succeeded. He has given Carolina a football team that plays good f oot- .ball. They play smooth football. In fact the team when it is clicking right is pjaying great football. There as something about the Carolina team this year that keeps one on edge and gives one delight in watching a game whether the Heels are winning or not.. When has such a condition ex isted before. But aside from that we are stating very definitely here that our main argument in favor of the retention of Coach Collins and his assistants is because they have taught the Tar Heels something that is hard to teach a team, that is that ' the Heels never go into a game licked, nor do they ever enter the last min ute of playing licked. They are in there fighting right up to, the final whistle. Reference may be made to the State game. This afternoon the team will be fighting right up to the final whistle. . Y Therefore we advocate the reten tion of Coach Collins at any cost. The players want him.'; 'He has given us what we asked for. What more can we want ? There is, f uthermore, something more to football than win ning games. ; ONE LAST WORD ; To those Carolina players who will be wearing a Carolina football uni form for the last time this after noon, we wish to address this plea: You have the ability to beat Duke, you have the man power to beat them And you i can beat them. It is merely a matter of time before you have worn your football uniform for the last time. You have probably re ceived your last words of instructions from' Coach Collins. It is now up to you to deliver the goods. To those who are playing against Duke or the first time or the second time, but who have another year or two under Coach Collins, we wish to say: Those who have gone before you have gone into the Duke game when the odds were overwhelmingly, against them. But they always won. This afternoon it is up to you to carry on where they left off. To say "wait until next year" is not our plea. Our plea is to beat Duke this year and the eleven men who face them next year will do the same. (' e:: )- 1 i u J V h 1 Jf Pictured above are seven University , at Chapel Hill today.

FORMER TEAMMATES WILL PROBABLY PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE TAR HEEL-BLUE DEVIL TILT HERE TODAY Football fans should be hoping and praying that Captain Harry Schwartz, Tar Heel center, who is suffering from an ankle sprained in the Virginia game, will be - able to play against Duke in the state championship game here Saturday. . The absence of Schwartz would spoil one of the big sidelights . of the clash. Harry Schwartz and "Hunky" Hun ter, Duke's center, both come from the same town and they were team mates on the Charlotte High School squad. Both played center at that time, and although Hunter was no bad center then Schwartz was better and usually got first, call. Both men now find themselves playing their third and last year on rival teams and both are captain of those teams. To Hunter goes the honor of piloting perhaps the best team that Duke has had. Fans who have followed the rival centers and captains through both high school and college, had been look ing, forward to the meeting Saturday.- Then . Harry Schwartz was victim in ' injuries in the hectic Thanksgiving battle with Virginia, which the Tar Heels won by 24 to 20. It now ap-; pears that those injuries may break" up the final meeting of : the two' Charlotte boys. The trainers of the University team say there is scant chance of Schwartz playing the entire game, although he may break into the line-up to stack a concluding chapter on his three bril liant seasons. Schwartz himself is determined to head his team into batr tie, and if he has his way he will be in the game scrapping Hunter to (the last ditch. At least this individual battle will be interesting to watch during the- odd moments. t- Defeating the N.4 C. State freshmen twenty-one to ' seven' on Wednesday before Thanksgiving,' the" Tar" Babies closed one of the most sucessful sea sons 'that a Carolina freshman team has had in ! years. The" final victory topped off 7 a string of five straight wills J oyer some of ' the ' strongest freshniatf aggregations in this section DukeT Prince ton, Maryland, Virginia and State College all fell before the strong attack of the Carolina year lings. ' Such a successful season brought them the undisputed claim to state championship honors and gave them a strong bid for the South At lantic freshman championship. J The season ,was opened by defeat ing the Duke freshmen six to nothing. In this game. Shorty Branch led the attack and along with Slusser showed the way for the other Tar Babies. Since it was their first game,: the freshmen did not show as strong an attack as they did later ' in the"" fall and this accounts for the low score. - , When the varsity went up to play Harvard, the freshmen went up to play Princeton. Although the Tar Heels were defeated, the Tar Babies upset the dope and scored, a seven to nothing wiri after decisively outplay ing the Princeton yearlings. Playing their first gam6 here on the ' Hill, Beldings men opposed the strong Maryland freshmen. This was rated as the stiff est game on the Delta Sigma Pi Takes New Men Eight new members were initiated into" Alpha Lambda chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, national commerce frater nity on Tuesday night.

Dear Sirs: Y " r,y-,- '. ;- I happen to be blest with a hpst of Very fine friends, mostly " highbrows " professors, scientists, etc. Gener- ally at Christmas time they show their remembrance and all that with some little gift a box of cigars, fishing tackle, a book all that sort of thing. Well, this Christmas many seemed to centre on tobacco. Now,,mark you, these fellows have no communication with each other They live in widely ' separated parts of the country, bo it was ho "put-up" joke on me or any thing like that. But here came seven teen boxes' of tobacco, and sixteen of them the familial blue "Edgeworthl" : . The seventeenth was a very flossy walnut, brass-trimmed box, but if I know" tobacco, the contents were Edgeworth with a little perique in it. , Just coincidence, perhaps, but a queer one. Am not an habitual smoker of Edgeworth, so they weren't catering to any especia,l taste of mine. Looks like a consensus of opinion among the "highbrows" or quite a batch of 'em that Edgeworth is the stuff, the proper caper for a-gift. Sincerely yours, F. A. Fitzpatrick they opened up an attack after the kickof f in the second half which net-; ted a touchdown in a few plays. After this, led by Branch, the Carolina f rosh ran wild and scored' two touchdowns which by with two. extra points added Estes, gave them a . twenty to six victory. . .. !The last game "was featured by the playing of Shorty Branch and the whole' Tar Baby line; Very little dif ficulty was experienced,, in defeating the' State- freshmen : twenty-one : to seven; In this game Coach ' Belding made quite-a few substitutions. This kept the score down somewhat. Branch, Slusser Suggs, and Reid led the. scoring for .the season. The line was made up most of the time by Reid and Morris, ends; Alexander and Buchan, tackles; Dunovant and Mc- Game Will' Be Called at 2 P. M. The hour for starting the Carolina-Duke game this afternoon has been moved up to 2 o'clock. ' This change made, according to Gradu ate Manager Woollen, due to the number of requests that came in from people out in the state, and also due to the shortness of the afternoons at this season of the year. Iver, guards; and Gilbreath, center. Rose, Runnels and Hutchinson also played quite a bit and showed up well. Suggs, Yost, Slusser, Frazier, Branch, and Houston were the backs who saw" most service.' Later in the season Estes" and Chetty played fullback and halfback respectively and led the Tar Baby attack; , .The strength of the Carolina of-" f ense and defense " is shown by ' the! fact that while they were holding their opponents, to twenty-five ' points, the Tar Babies were running' up a total of seventy-five. - Methodist-Churchu 9:45 Student Bible - Classes; Prcn fessors Frank Graham and James Phillips , . - 11:00 Sermdn' by the Minister; "The Monarchy of the Mind.? ; 5:00 p. m.

Liners ' presented the strongest attack that the Tar Babies had yet run up against and they were forced to play their best game of the season to win. However after they once got their offense to work, the Carolina frosh ran up ' twenty-four points c to win by a twelve point margin. The next game brought the Virginia freshmen to Kenan Stadium. Since they had been previously beaten by the Maryland freshmen, the Cavaliers were not especially feared. However, they opened up a strong running at tack early in the game and Thomas broke loose to score. This was the first time during the season that the Tar Babies had been behind.
