(Tfy 2. C. Ramsay)
Only four more Saturdays i
are left for the winner of the
Southern Conference to-be de
termined and there are five
teams with clean slates in the
conference race. Tulane, Ten
nessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky
and Louisiana State are the lead
ing five.
Tulane seems to be the sur
est bet for S. L C honors,
having beaten Tech and Geor
gia and having only onereal
test left in her conference
schedule. L. S. U. may upset
the Green Wave but it will be
a great task. Tennessee has
three hard games left in Ken
tucky, Alabama and Vandy,
but McEyer and Company will
be hard to stop in their race
for scoring honors.
Dan McGugin's team is look
ing good, but to beat Georgia
Tech and Tennessee on success
ive Saturdays is no easy task
and that they must do to carry
the conference honors to Nash
ville. Kentucky is going very
strong now. The 44-6 win over
Clemson indicates that.
Louisiana State : has won
two games in the conference
and journeys up to Durham to
meet the N. C. ramblers in
. their first home game , after ,
three weeks" of touring above
Mason's and Dixon's line. The
coming game with Tulane will
be the deciding factor in L.
S. U.'s fate.
Everyone is wondering what
happened to Josh Cody's Pal
metto high scoring machine last
Saturday. Here is what Bill Cox
says about it in the Greensboro
News: "One possible solution is
that Josh Cody's Tigers got lost
when they came out of the jun
gle and didn't ever get to Ken
tucky. Instead of playing the
Blue Grass Wildcats they wan
dered around and walked into
the Battle of Bull Run. The
team that Kentucky licked was
a South Carolina high school
field class in history that hap
pened to be in. the Blue Grass
looking for Nancy Hanks' evi
dence and merely played the
game because Clemson never ar
rived." The Tar Heels have dropped
one game in the conference
race but they have certainly
been going strong since they
dropped that game to the
Bulldogs. Many things can
happen over a period of four
weeks, and it is altogether pos
sible that N. C. will be several
notches nearer the top when
scores of December seventh
are all turned in.
Here is what Wade Ison, in
the Charlotte News, thinks about
the Tar Heels:' "The lads who
room and eat at Chapel Hill are
coming along, and how ! In
North Carolina they have out
stripped their opponents in
points scored almost double-fold
and are tearing on to a record
number of scores for a new Tar
Heel mark. . The Georgia vic
tory smarted for just a little
while, and then the Heels started
on for higher things. Today's
standings of the Southern Con
ference don't make the boys look
quite so bad. Each week they
get better and better on this
standing ladder."
Those who go down to Col
umbia, S. C, Saturday have a
real contest in store for them,
because those Gamecocks have
been waiting and pointing for
the invasion of the Tar. Heels.
Judging from paragraphs in
their student newspaper they

downs; Expect To Try Same
Against Tar Heels.
When the Tar Heels of North
Carolina meet the Gamecocks of
South Carolina every indication
points toward a great offensive
exhibition. Both teams possess
men of great broken field fame ;
men who - have brought . the
stands to their feet in the games
this fall by their spectacular
runs. However, the two back-
fields will not be composed sole
ly of "backs of this type, since
' 1 T 11 1
eacn lineup win include men
who have gained consistently
through the strongest lines" in
the south.
Rhame, Boineau and Stoddard
have earned for themselves the
reputation of being one of the
greatest hackf ield combinations
m the Conference, and their
dashes down the field have been
largely responsible for the show
ing of South Carolina this sea
son. Clemson, rated as one of
the "best in the South before the
Kentucky game last weekend,
failed completely to stop these
men some two weeks ago, and
consequently Rhame and Boin
eau closed the day with 80 and
75 yard runs respectively to
their credit. South Carolina
has scored heavily against all
of her opponents ; Virginia being
the only eleven to hold her un
der the total two touchdowns.
To counterbalance this treat
from Tier more southern neigh
bor North Carolina will offer
not one far famed combination
but rather a collection of backs
whohave been "pressagented"
throughout the South as the
Hundred Backs. However, by
actual count the number of back
field men who will see action
against the Gamecocks will from
necessity shrink from one hun
dred to about eight or nine.
These men have alternately pro
vided the offensive drive that
has carried the Tar Heels so far
through their schedule.
Pete Wyrick, due to injuries,
must again join the injured list
with the probability of staying
there until the Virginia game
Thanksgiving. The loss of this
veteran quarterback has lowered
considerably the stock of the
Tar Heels. To take . his place
Coach Chuck Collins will use
Johnny Branch, sophomore brok
en field ace. His running up to
date both from the line of scrim
mage and from received punts
has hailed him throughout the
South as one of the most elusive
rvf tiP r.onfprence backs. His
V J. lrAl i, "
most outstanding feat this sea
son was a 60 yard run through
Georgia Tech.
Magner clipped off 30 yards
at one stroke against Georgia
and earlier in the season sprinted
65 yards through a bewildered
Maryland outfit. Spaulding al

against the Old Liners. Last

the entire N. C. State team for

Staters. '
Maintaining their 32-point
average, the Tar Heels are m
the pink of condition after the
fray with the Wolfpack, and
they are anxious to get with the
S. C. University. North Caro
lina hasn't beaten her neigh
bors since 1926. The 1927 game
was lost 14-6 and the clash last
season resulted in a 0-0 tie,, so

Bud Eskew is a South Caro
linian by birth but a Tar Heel
by adoption, and Eskew will be
on the Tar Heel side of the line
of fire when North Carolina and
South Carolina mix in Columbia
Saturday. The Greenville boy
stands 5 feet 10, weighs 180,
and makes a fine running mate
for Captain Ray Farris, the Tar
Heels great triple-threat guard.
Eskew comes of a football play
ing family. An older brother,
who was also dubbed "Bud," cap
tained the Furman team a
couple of seasons back.
INTRAMURAL TEAMS ARE
INVITED TO ENTER MEET
The intramural athletic asso
ciation yesterday addressed let
ters to all fraternity and dor
mitory athletic managers invit
ing the participation of their
members in the novice track
meet which is to take place
Thursday afternoon at Emerson
field. The intramural officials
stressed the fact that points
scored by a fraternity or dor
mitory member would be counted
toward the all-year trophy which
is to be given to the organiza
tion having the highest total
score at the end of the year, as
well as to his own individual
score.
Much interest is expected to
be centered about this meet, as
more than forty men have al
ready signified their intentions
of entering, and many more are
expected to report for workouts
before the meet. .

COLLINS SEEKS
BETTER PUNTERS
Passing and Kicking Occupy
Attention Of Coaches; Team
Works Late.
Faced with the problem of un
covering a good punter, Coach
Chuck Collins Tuesday spent a
good portion of the afternoon in
a punting session.
While the punters unlimbered
their toes, 15 backfield men un
der the personal supervision of
Coach Cerney went through a
rigorous passing practice. The
linemen spent more than
hour at blocking."
an
The Gamecocks, with a great
team, will be giving' everything
for a -victory Saturday, neces
sary to a proper celebration of
their home-coming day festivi
ties.
A hard-charging Gamecock
line gives plenty of worry to op
posing punters, and the fast
moving "Crip" Rhame gives stil
more on the punt returns unless
the opposing kicker gets both
distance and height and plenty
of it.
Poor punting has given the
Tar Heels more trouble than
. . . 1 '
anything else all season. Geor
gia kept them with their backs
to the wall largely because the
Tar Heel punters couldn't make
the proper connections.
Three Tar Heel punters last
Saturday averaged only 27 yards
and one punt, straight up, would
have given N. C. State a score
but for the stalwart holding of
the Tar Heel line. 1
Such punting might be disas
trous against a club as strong as
South Carolina, and Coach Col
lins knows it.
: Punting drills are following
every scrimmage this week, and
it's just possible the Tar Heels
may display new power, and
maybe a new face, in the kicking
post Saturday.
Captain Ray Farris pulled out
of the line to do most of the
punting last year, and did a
good job too. But Farris' with
drawal weakened the line no lit
tle bit, and, besides, the stalwart

Coach Dale Ranson is giving

daily workouts in preparation

with the j announcement that
Creighton Wrenn, varsity run

been showing improvement this
week, with others who may get
a trial Saturday.
A peppy period of signal drills

Pete Wyrick, injured quarter

was in good shape and fine spirits.

that the pause that refreshes is the

Rhame, Boineau, and Stoddard
To Match Carolina's "Hundred
Backs" In Annual Battle.
Since South Carolina so iron
ically made both of its touch
downs against the strong Clem
son team on Clemson passes.
North Carolina supporters are
wondering no little bit about the
kind of attack the Tar Heels will
show when they meet the Game
cocks in Columbia Saturday.
Will Head Coach Chuck Col
lins take heed from the pass-
intercepting activities of these
Gamecocks and charge the Tar
Heels to use a straight driving,
line attack? Or will he disre
gard South Carolina's pass-busting
proclivities, and order an
other aerial attack such as the
Tar Heels featured against V.
P. I. and again against N. C.
State last Saturday?
The question is an open one.
It's too early in the week to say.
There was only the lightest of
workouts Monday, to let sore
South Carolina has one of the
muscles regain their spring and
flexibility. The squad drilled
hard yesterday, but Coach Col
lins isn't to begin- giving his men
their special tricks for Satur
day until this afternoon,
best pass defenses in the South,
according to all reports, and a
shifted Tar Heel attack seems
entirely probable.
Boineau and Rhame converted
Clemson passes into 75 and 80
yard touchdown sprints, and
Citadel didn't get away with a
thing hardly by the overhead
route against the Gamecocks.
The Tar Heels, on the other
hand, have one of the flashiest
aerial attacks in the South.
There are six letter halfbacks
and a sophomore, all equally
good, and three veteran full
backs.
Halfbacks Magner, Maus,
Ward and Jackson are all fine
passers. Halfbacks Nash, SIus
ser and , Erickson ; Fullbacks
Spaulding, House and Harden,
and all the ends, are good re
ceivers, and know how to air out
after they take the pass.
