Tuesday, October 22, 1023 THE DAILY TAR HEEL TO) Hor Carolina Eleven Preparing To Put Everything Into Great Drive For Remainder of Hard Schedule; House and Koenig To Be Ready For Saturday's Contest. . North Carolina's Tar Heels, set back in a hard 19-12 contest with Georgia Saturday, were today-taking their defeat with a grain of salt and preparing to put everything into a great drive for the remainder of a hard schedule the first barrier of which will be a game with V. P. I.'s fast moving Gobblers here Saturday. " Some of the more optimistic Tar Heel supporters today were consulting schedules, trying to figure how the Conference lead ers might be upset so as to give the Tar Heels a claim for Con ference honors. Tennessee still has to pass Vanderbilt, with another great club ; and on the other hand Van derbilt might drop a game to Georgia Tech, as last; year, Georgia might slip up against Florida, Alabama or Georgia Tech. And so on and on. The Tar Heel team itself was forgetting Georgia Tech and Georgia and focusing all atten tion on this y. P. I. engagement just around the corner, which is looming as a threat aplenty just now. ' .' - The Gobblers have shown great potential strength in roll ing up big scores on Roanoke, Hampden-Siclney and William and Mary. They created even more of a rucus when they held Penn State to 14-8 in a game in which statistics and scouts agreed that the Gobblers played the greater game but lost on breaks. ; - The. North Carolina game jyill be their first Conference test, and Coach Gustaf son's boys will undoubtedly be "gunning" for the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels, on the' other hand, may be ex pected to give everything to erase a 16-14 defeat of last year, traceable principally to Frank Peake, who' gained 200 yards that game. The North Carolina squad came through the Georgia, test with hardly an injury, and will begin pointing for V. P. I. this afternoon with almost full strength. House and "Koenig, practically valueless against Georgia, are doped to be back in shape to man fullback and -left tackle Saturday and add strength to the Tar Heel lineup. Novice Track Meet To Be Held Oct. 31 A novice track meet is to be staged by the University Ath letic department Thursday, Oc tober 31, according to an an nouncement by Coach Dale Ran son. This meet will be open to all men who have not previous ly competed in varsity or fresh man traclt at Carolina. The various events which will be open "for competition, are as follows: 50: yard dash, 100 yard dash, 120 yard dash with low hurdles at 20 yards distance, pole vault, high jump, broad jump, shot put, discus throw and javelin. Rankin In Goldsborb. E. R. Rankin, director of high school athletics, attended a meet ing yesterday evening at Golds boro of the eastern class "A" conference for athletics. The purpose of meeting, at which 15 or 18 high school principals and athletic directors will be pres ent, is to formulate a basketball schedule for the coming season. As soon as the Goldsboro meet- mg is over, Mr. Rankin is to proceed to a similar conference of Western schools at Salisbury. pv " r - Hy k W W si t r! M (By "Crawf" MacKethan) A lot of things happened last week-end on the gridiron, some of them were expected while quite a few proved to be upsets in the ., general calculations. Some of the outcomes still re main as thorns in our side, and as for the rest, we haven't fig ured out even at this last date just how and what happened. The one bright spot of the Big Five of North Carolina lingers over the campus of Davidson. Once again that "thin red line," the source of so much press agi tation, demonstrated its worth by turning back a South Caro lina threat in times -of danger and holding ' valiently while the educated toe of Captain Thad Brock scored te point which de feated their ancient - rival, the Citadel. There is no getting around,the fact that Duke is running up against some potent teams from up and down the-eastern coast, . and there is also no getting around the fact that for this publicity she is paying dearly in her profit and loss statement. The Blue Devils met a strong foe when they ran up against the Navy, and the one point lead at the end of the first half iridicates that they must have played a pretty strong brand of ball. The Tar Heel came out with a five hundred percent batting average in its predictions re garding the Tennessee-Alabama and T' Florida - Georgia Tech games. Tech must have certain ly had a rejuvenation of spirit since last week-end for they not only held in check the much touted Florida offense, but also managed to score sufficiently to satisfy the Georgians who still faithfully followed their nation al champs. The famous Crab tree and Go. failed to function even threateningly. Florida's hopes of capturing the Southern crown and possibly national rec ognition went up in a huge bundle of smoke. Possibly the most bitterly fought game in the entire east was witnessed over in Knoxville when the Vols withstood a Crim son Tide and turned it home ward dragging the poor end of a 6 to 0 score. Alabama failed by a bare three inches to knot the score when a Tennessee for ward wall stiffened in defense of -its goal. This, victory places Tennessee side by side with Georgia on . the first ring of the Southern Conference ladder. The Bulldog victory over the Tar Heels grants Georgia a posi tion among the foremost elevens of the nation. However, look ing a seemingly long way off, all we can say is that the Bulldog-Tornado affair next nionth is going to be a football; game worth seeing. . V. P. I., Carolina's foe this coming week-end, managed to come safely through its game last Saturday with William and Mary, , defeating the Indians in the last period of play. The V. P. I.Carolina game will be the first encounter of the Tar Heels this fall with one of her Vir ginia rivals. The following statement was clipped -from the Gamecock," the University of South Carolina of ficial publication; here's what the Gamecock sports editor has to say about the Tar Heels : "Should the loud mouth Tar heels get to feeling ax bit too cocky over their questionable , achievement and begin to sprain WE FIGHT Ui'l'-JLdXi LIKELY SATIIRIV II Great Ball Carriers Villi Per form in Carolina - V. P. I. Game; Hooper Is Gobbler Star. The North Carolina-V. P. I. gridiron battle in Kenan Memo rial stadium here Saturday af ternoon will throw into conflict two of the south's leading back field aggregations, and the con test may settle down to an of fensive struggle between the rival backfields. Frank Peake, that terrifying ball foter who tore through Carolina to a Tieart-breaking 16-14 victory last year, is gone, but the 1929 Gobbler backfield has almost as much drive and better balance. Bird Hooper, at quarter,1" is considered the headiest quarter back turned out at V. P. I. since the palmy days of Rip Wallace a decade ago. Tommy Tompke, at left half, short and stocky, is a real driv er, and ardent lover of the game. Phil Spear, at right half, is small and fast, and his excursions into Tar Heel territory a year ago were no momentary flashes. He is being hailed a second Peake. Mit Owens is a big, crashing fullback and a fine defensive man. The outstanding reserve is Macauley McEver, who needs no other introduction than that he- is a brother of Tennessee's terrifying Gene McEver. North Carolina has its own great array of ball-toters, Jim my Ward, Jim Magner, Phil J ackson and Jimmy Maus all hard runners, fine passers, fair kickers and" jam-up defensive wnen. struct is ash is a hard con sistent runner and a great pass receiver. , Johnny Branch is a heady lit tle quarter, replacing the injured Wyrick, and from his great broken field work is being hailed a second Stumpy Thomason. Rip Slussep-is a ten-second halfback, and Chuck Erickson is consid ered one of the finest men in a broken field in the south. There are three fine fullbacks Henry House, Yank Spaulding and Pap Harden. House is perhaps the hardest driver of the three. These Tar Heel backs have run up 121 points in four games, while the . Gobbler backs have countered 89. North Carolina has had opponents score 26 points, and V. P. I. 34. Both teams have won three games and lost one, Carolina to Georgia's great eleven by 19-12, and V. P. I; to a strong Penn State team 19-8. their arms patting themselves on the back, they're due to get knocked off their high horse sooner or later. And if they start their publicity bureaus to telling the sports world what they are going to do to a certain South Carolina team one bright day in November, they may find that their ballyhoo was a frac tion: too premature. . I 11 v r .... . .-- - -. ; if v Boxing Coach Crayton Rowe returned to the Hill this year to assist the Southern Champions in retain ing their title. Rowe tutored the Carolina mitmen two years ago, and his return has added much to the stock of the Tar Heels. MANY VACANCIES OBOWTEAM Loss of Davis and Vaughn Leaves Big Gaps To Be i .Filled. According to Coach Rowe, there are entirely too few candi dates for the boxing team this year and as only four lettermen are back with the varsity there are many vacancies on the team. Obie Davis has been called home on account of the death of his father and will not return to the University this year. Davis' loss will leave a large gap in the lineup as he wes expected to be even better than last year. In addition to losing Davis the last year's Southern Confer ence champions will hot have Ev an Vaughn returning. Vaughn, for some unknown reason, will not return to the lineup this year and the 115 pound class has no picked successor. Davis left the 165 pound class open with few men to pick from to succeed him while - Vaughn's loss . still further complicates matters. Coach Rowe says that no po sition is filled for certain and that all who come out for the team will be given equal oppor tunities for the positions. The four lettermen back this year are: Captain Archie Allen, Goodrich, Sheffield, and War ren. .' , " In addition to the call for new varsity candidates there is also a need for more freshman mater ial. All freshmen who are in terested should report at the Tin Can for workouts every af ternoon at 4 o'clock. The University Magazine was revived in 1897 to cultivate the literary art among the students. . HERE At CAROLINA DRY CLEANERS Today and Tomorrow Harry Kuster, Rep. NEW YORK VMiM Mil) VUL EM) CONFERENCE Seven Teams Have Perfect Record As They Hit Tough Opposition. (Joe Eagles) The climax of the 1929 foot ball season was reached last Sat urday as far as the teams in North Carolina"vere concerned, for the Tar Heels made their bid for southern, honors and Duke met the Navy in another intersectional game. From now on the big games in this state will be of interest primarily be cause they will have direct bear ing on the race for the cham- pionshipof the big five. On a basis of their early sea son records, up until last Satur day, five teams stood out in the Southern Conference as poten tial champions. Now that the games scheduled for last week end are over, only two elevens remain undefeated among the stronger contenders, and conse quently they appear at present to be the favorites to come out on top of the heap. North Caro lina, Xlabama; and Florida saw their chances go as each bowed to superior -football. Out of the melee only the Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee remained with clean slates. Georgia Tech, al ways a contender, was removed from the undefeated class by the los&to North Carolina two weeks ago. Other elevens in the confer ence which remain unbeaten but which will have to show added strength before they can be ranked with Georgia and , Ten nessee are Kentucky, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Clemson, and Louisi ana State. Perhaps the Green Wave from Tulane is the most outstanding among this group. Their real strength will be test ed when they meet Georgia Tech this week-end. If Banker and his teammates are successful in overcoming Tech, they will be almost sure' to be found near the top when the season- closes. The biggest upset of last Sat urday was the overwhelming victory scored by the V. M. I.

I. team, from winning the meet with a low score of 26 points to Carolina's 30. White of V. P L ran second to Jensen with Cordle of Carolina coming in third. . v The Tech varsity harriers also defeated the Carolina varsity team with a low score of 27 points to Carolina's 33. Miles and Palmer of V. P. I. led the field being followed by Baucom, Lowry and Barkley of Carolina. According to Coach Dale Ran son, this is the second defeat for, a Tar Heel cross country team in the last six years. PICKPOCKETS VERY BUSY DURING GAMF The attraction of 25,000 peo pie in Chapel Hill Saturday was seemingly too much for pickpockets at the state fair, as the . town suffered an epidemic of petty thieving. Chief Lloyd reported that over 20 pocketbooks were found after the Carolina - Georgia game, wrapped m newspapers with their contents rifled. Most of the losses were re ported to the police after the rush between the quarters and the half. The police believe that the pickpockets did their mis chief as the crowds rushed the cold drink stands during the in termission.
