vive Memories Of Old
THF. Tl ATTY TAT? Tnrtrr
Old Thanksgiving Day Rivalry
To lie uenewed Here Thurs
day; Virginia Holds Edge.
By M. R. ALEXANDER
Thanksgiving day Will revive
the football memory of the old
timers who come back to Chapel
Hill. ' ; ..
As they sit and watch the
Carolina and Virginia young
sters of 1929 do battle, the old
timers will recall vividly the
gridiron games, the heroes, and
the feats of their own day
"the good old days."
ml. " i ? tt
me Carolina-Virginia game
is the oldest continuous Thanks
giving Day football rivalry in
the south. Thirty-three" games
have been played in the 37
years since the series was inau
gurated in 1892.. Virginia has
won 18, Carolina 12, and three
have been ties.
Virginia held undisputed edge
in the days of old, but since the
war it has been a different story.
Of ten games since resumption
ol the series m 1919, the Tar
Heels have won five, lost three,
and two have been ties.
In total scores, the Cavaliers
hold a big edge. For the 33
games the Virginians have a to
tal of 461 points to 197 for the
Tar Heels. The worst licking
of the series was a 66-0 defeat of
the Tar Heels in 1912. The Tar
Heels had their largest margin
of victory the year the series
opened 26-0. -How
Series Opened
The series opened with a Vir
ginia win, 30-18, in 1892. The
teams met , a second time that
season. Michael Hoke, now a
prominent Atlanta surgeon, led
the Tar Heel team to a 26-0 win
in the second game strangely
enough, the largest margin by
which Carolina has ever beaten
Virginia.
The Cavaliers reversed the
tide and blanked the Tar Heels,
often by disheartening scores,
every season until 1898. Ver
non Howell, now dean of the
University school of pharmacy
here, raced 40 yards through the
entire Virginia team for a 6-2
Carolina victory that year. Vir
ginia scored 2 of 8 points that
blemished the fine record of this
one undefeated team of Tar Heel
history.
The-best showing made by a
Tar Heel team in the disastrous
years of 1893-97 was that of the
team of 1895, captained by Ed
win Clarke Gregory, of Salis
bury, who has a son on the pres
ent Tar Heel' squad, which held
the Cavaliers to 6-0.
In 1899 a Virginia player was
killed in-acton, and the annual
game was cancelled out of re
spect to the Cavalier performer,
but the rivalry was renewed the
next Thanksgiving.
Two Virginia victories and
the 12-12 tie of 1902 followed.
The Tar Heels had their next
win in 1903. Lyle Jones, prom
inent Asheville attorney, with a
son. in the University now, led
that team.
How They Stack Up
The Tar Heels lost a disheart
ening 12-11 verdict in 1904, but
Coach W. J. Warner's eleven
overwhelmingly defeated the Old
Dominion the next year, Captain
Foy Roberson, now a prominent
Durham physician and advisory
Physician to the Tar Heel squad,
leading the North Staters to a
brilliant 17 to 0 victory in Nor-

ACCORDING TO the Tar
Heel files the majority of the
tag football league games be
tween the champions of the fraternity-
and dormitory leagues
have been won by the dormitory
title holders. Last year, how
ever, the campus title went to
a fraternity. This Tuesday the
New Dorms and Betas will meet
to decide the campus honors.
NOT ONLY will there be a
battle for the campus tag foot
ball championship this Tuesday
afternoon, but the two league
leaders will be working to win
the turkey dinner which has
been promised' by the Smoke
Shop to the winners of the titu
lar match.
Tennis Matches Are
Postponed Again
Inclement weather yesterday
caused another postponement of
the last two sets of the tennis
match between Wilmer Hines,
Jr., of Columbia, southern junior
champion, and Bryan Grant of
Atlanta, southern senior cham
pion, for the University net title.
Hines was leading two sets to
one when darkness caused post
ponement of the match on Thurs
day afternoon. The remaining
two sets will be" played the first
day that weather permits.
OLD WAR-HORSE IS ILL
THE CAKE RACE was ac
counted a large success after a
year's layoff. In spite of the
cold arid a slight drizzle, 106. en
tries toed the mark a little after
4 o'clock. The trjack coaches,
intramural officials, and others
accomplished an amost incon
ceivable task by picking the
position in which the entries fin
ished. According to the results
98 of the 106 finished, led by
1 om Watkins, a former Mc
Callie school track star, closely
following Watkins was Joe
Pratt, Rhodes and Hamilton.
Out of the first four winners
two, Pratt and Hamilton were
residents of Chapel Hill. I
FOUL WEATHER doesn't
seem to worry cross country of
ficials much more than it does
in football. In spite of the cold
and rain yesterday afternoon the
77 harriers, representatives "of
11 colleges and universities, en
tered' in the meet completed
Carolina's five mile course. The
time of the run shows the ef
fect of the weather on the run
ners. Cross country is usually
considered as a minor sport but
because Carolina has maintained i
such an outstanding record in
recent years there is more in
terest in this sport at the Uni
versity than at many of the other
colleges.
Knute Rockne's leg infection,
which has been causing him
trouble, has spread to his other
leg. There is no cause for
alarm, according to the report
of Dr. Robert L. Sensennich,
i who is attending him. On ac
count of this development, the
famous coach may not see the
forthcoming game and probably
will not be allowed by Pr. Sen
sennich to see the match be
tween the Army and Notre
Dame, which will close the
Rockne schedule. The Notre
Dame coach's condition re
quires that he have complete
rest and forbids even moving
either leg.
D. A. R. Meeting
The Davie Poplar of the D. A.
R. had a meeting at Mrs. War
ren's Wednesday afternoon.
THE DUKE FRESHMEN
seem to be stepping out toward
a state frosh title. They defeat
ed the Davidson-Wildkittens last
Friday, and had previously tak
en the Tar Babies in tow by a
margin of one point in a hard
fought 8-7 game. '
RUMORS ABOUT the forma
tion of a new Conference centers
around the withdrawal of Ogle
thorpe and Furmah from the S.
I. A. A. According to reports
the new league will attempt to
be formed from teams from
North Carolina, Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia. Some
readers of recent newspaper art
icles about this were probably
led to believe that the Univer
sity of North Carolina was ex
pected to be a member of this
new conference. However, this
is not the case. U. N. C.,,or any
other North Carolina team for
that matter, doesn't belong to
the S. L A. A.; and is a devout
member of the S. I. C. The pur
pose of the new league to be
formed is primarily for the for-
In view of the slushy field and
cold weather, Head Coach Chuck
Collins thought it advisable to
keep the University football
squad indoors yesterday. He
gave the players a long class-
Lroom lecture on the fundamen
tals of Virginia's attack and of
the Carolina attack to bemused.
Captain Ray Farris, star left
guard, turned up yesterday with
a severe attack of tonsilitis, and
the veteran quarterback Pete
Wyrick was still limping. Train
er Quinlan hopes to have both in
shape for the Virginia game.
Their loss would be a heavy
blow. . .
Approximately 20,000 seats
for the game have been sold, it
was learned at the office of
Graduate Manager Charles T.
Woollen.
.'. Five thousand reserved seats
are still available, and a num
ber of them have been placed
on sale in Raleigh- Durham
Greensboro and Winston-Salem,
it was stated.
Virginia Golf and
Tennis Players To
Be Here Wednesday
The University tennis and golf
teams are to meet-the, Virginia
racqueteers and golfers here
next Wednesday, according to
announcement , yesterday from
Coach John Kenfield.
The golf match will be played
over the Hope Valley course,
while the tennis matches will be
staged on the Universitv's
courts.
The two contests will be var
sity preludes to the annual
Thanksgiving day, clash between
the football teams of the two in
stitutions, tojbe staged in Kenan
stadium here Thursday.
CAVALIER FROSH
DOWNTAR BABIES
The Tar Baby team lost to the
Cavalier frosh yesterday at
Charlottesville by a score of 6-0.
The team did especially well by
holding the strong Virginia
team to so low a score, as Caro
lina was badly crippled by in
juries to several players. Three
Tar Baby regulars and six valu
able substitutes did not make the
trip because of injuries and Mc
Dade, star tackle, and McNeil,
fullback, and Nichols, left end,
all first-stringers, were not in
the best shape.
When the Tar Heel went to
press, full particulars were not
available ; but a more complete
account of the game will be pub
lished in Tuesday's issue.
Blue Devils Dump
Demon Deacons 20-0
mation of a more centrally lo
cated, compact league. Reports
indicate that Wake Forest and
Davidson will be, or have been,
approached in regard to their
membership in the formation of
the new league.
The Duke Blue Devils battled
their way through mud and
water to a 20 to 0 win over the
Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Through sleet and rain a .hand
ful of spectators saw Brewer
and Murray lead the Blue Dev
ils to their victory.
Both teams battled for everv
inch of ground but the Duke ag
gregation easily had the advan
tage from the start. - Fumbles
and blocked punts were costly
to the Deacons and finally re
sulted in touchdowns.
No definite advantage was
gained by either team until the
last minute of the first quarter
when a fumble by Wake Forest
was recovered by Duke for a
touchdown. Duke failed to gain
the extra point.
The ball see-sawed up and
down the field for the remainder
of the half and the score at the
mid point stood Duke 6, Wake
Forest 0.
The third quarter commenced
with Dnke starting toward a
touchdown. In the last fp.w
minutes of the quarter a Wake
Forest punt was blocked and re
covered, by Duke on the five
yard line. Brewer, for Duke,
carried the ball over on the 4th
down for the touchdown and a
few seconds later added the ex
tra point by going off tackle.
The last Duke scoring came
in the latter part of the fourth
quarter. Murray of Duke made
a long run and planted the ball
on the five yard line. Murray
in this run would have : made
the touchdown but stumbled as
he neared the goal line and slid
for about three yards. Immed
iately following Murray's long
run, Brewer carried the ball
over. The extra point was added
by a pass.
Duke 'kicked to Wake Forest
and the Deacons almost got
loose for a' touchdown being
stopped by the Duke safety
man. On the next play Adkins
of Duke intercepted a pass, the
game ended with the ball in
Duke's possession on their own
35 yard line.
Wake Forest threatened ser
iously throughout the game but
snowed a strong ... defense at
times. Murray contributed to
the Deacon's downfall by num
erous pretty runs and again as
in last year's game, be listed
as the outstanding light for
Duke in. this game.
DUKE FHESHLJM
WIN EWMIM
HARRIER HONfll
? Jensen, Carolina Star, Captures
.Individual Title in Freshman
Cross Country Run.
With Clarence Jensen of Caro
lina taking individual honors in
exceptionally fine time, the Tar
Heel freshman cross country
team placed second to Duke in
the state freshman champion
ship run held at Chapel Hill yes
terday, immediately before the
Conference meet. Duke won
low score of 27 points, Carolina
was second with 35 and N. C.
State placed third with 67.
J ensen, who has won every
freshman meet this year, closed
the season by running the three
mile course yesterday in 17 min
utes and 30 seconds. Bray of
Duke finished 70 yards behind
him in 17:42, followed by Lov
ell of Duke in 17:46; Troutman
of State in 17 :59 and Wood of
Duke in 18:07.
Cordle, in seventh position,
was the second Carolina man to
finish. He was immediately fol
lowed by Zelly, Cox and Lump
kin, all of Carolina. Strikeleather
of Carolina placed seventeenth,
and Jones twentieth.
Jones, who has been ill with
the mumps, ran his first race
yesterday wearing a heavy sweat
suit. He ran a good race as far
as the gate of Emerson field,
where he collapsed. After rest
ing a moment, he walked the lap
around the track and came in
twentieth.
Carolina's defeat was a com
plete surprise, as the frosh have
beaten both State and Duke in
dual meets. Jensen came through
however with his expected easy
individual victory. Coach Ran
son considered his time excel
lent in view of the mud, wet, and
cold the runners had to go
through.
The freshmen started at the
freshman field, went north to
Rosemary street, up Rosemary
to Carrboro, then turned to the
left at the swimming pool. They
turned to the left again at. the
laundry, went down Cameron
avenue to the. Carolina Inn,
turned to the right there and
and.went as far as the Pittsboro
highway. Going along the high
way by the Tin Can, they turned
into Emerson field and ran a
lap there to finish opposite the
stadium.
CAROLINA still leads the
Big Five teams and is patiently
waiting to see how the Thanks
giving results will affect her
standing in the S. I. C.
