Wednesday, November 6, 1929 THE DAILY TAR HEEL. A. i ... W llik TEAM MAY' SHIFT ATTACK FOR y GAMECOCK BATTLE SATURDA Y will I A i it S. I. C. SPORTS (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 Great irray Of Backs : ;v-Xo Parade At Colombia South Carolina Team Converted ! 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 so turned in a 60 yard dash against the Old Liners. Last weekend Chuck Erickson pa raded on two' occasions through the entire N. C. State team for 67 and 70 yards. Strud Nash followed closely on his heels with a 62 yard punt return. are going to beat the North 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 they are particularly anxious to conquer Billy Laval's Sand Lap pers. i Meets Homefolks I A 3 i - .

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. .

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 jsfe.. f t as w Ajaw.,.

Coach Dale Ranson is giving the Carolina harriers strenuous daily workouts in preparation for the dual meet with the Duke cross country teams Friday af ternoon in Chapel Hill. Noth ing is known about the strength of the Duke varsity except that Simons, outstanding runner, broke the Navy course record in the Navy-Duke meet two weeks ago. The Tar Heel varsity stock took a decided drop this week with the j announcement that Creighton Wrenn, varsity run ner for three years, will be out for the rest of the season be cause of his confinement to the infirmary with mumps. Ranson is now busy finding a man to replace him and by Friday ex pects to have a capable substi tute. Lowry, varsity harrier, was unable to run in the State meet because of an abscessed tooth. However, he is expected to be in good shape for the meet with Duke. guard somehow hasn't been able to get his educated toe working just right this year. The backs have been alternat ing at the job this season, with Ward, Branch, Jackson and Maus carrying the brunt of the burden. All these boys have been showing improvement this week, with others who may get a trial Saturday. A peppy period of signal drills and a couple of turns around the field, the moon was well up in' the sky and 'the Tar Heels called it a day. Pete Wyrick, injured quarter back, took part in the drills, but won't be able to play against the Gamecocks. The rest of the team was in good shape and fine spirits. OF COURSE IT'S NO FAIR PLAYING THE 1 CKUI.IUK S I IT WUI jULn SITUATION n y BUT THEN, AND WE RESIST ANYTHING BUT TEMPTATION. All of which goes to prove (if we may be excused for saying so) that the pause that refreshes is the sanest temptation which millions ever succumbed to. And to these same millions the pause that re freshes has come to mean an ice-' cold Coca-Cola. Its tingling, delicious taste and cool after-sense , of refreshment have proved that a little minute is long enough for a big rest any time. The Coca-Cola Co.. Atlanta, Ga.

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.
