The University "village is all set for the invasion of what is expected to be a record football crowd for this state. Some 30,000 fans are expect ed. , Preparations have been per fected to handle the big crowd without congestion, and, if the plays are carried out, everybody will be able to get in and out of Chapel Hill with little or no de lay. - Captain Charles D. Farmer and his deputies of the state highway patrol will be in charge of traffic, which fact alone gives assurance thaf things will move along smoothly and orderly. Captain Farmer's men will be assisted by squads of police from nearby towns and by tfie local police force under Chief Lloyd. Three athletic fields have been set aside for parking space, and townspeople have been asked to keep their cars at home so as to provide more parking space along the streets for the visitors. The Carolina-Virginia game of 1927 drew .an attendance of 26,000, yet so well were the auto mobiles routed and directed that the town was cleared of all traf fic in less than an hour. Those in charge of arrange ments profited by experience that year, and with a number of new parking spaces opened up, the two big new arteries devel oped to bring in and take away th crowds, an even better hand ling of traffic is expected this year. The new highways are ex pected to prove an especially big factor. ; Fans coming from the east, now by way of Raleigh won't have to pass through Durham, but can turn off at Nelson, take the new macadamized road that intersects the Raleigh-Durham highway at that point. This not only reduces the dis tance from Raleigh to Chapel Hill from 38 to'28 miles, but also brings the eastern traffic in over two roads instead of one. There is a new short, cut also to divide the traffic from Greens boro and points west, and reduce the distance from Greensboro to Chapel Hill from 60 to 45 miles. The new highway is by way of Burlington and Graham, the short cut intersecting route. No. 10 at Graham. This road places Chapel Hill within 150 miles of Charlotte by the northern route, as well as the southern route, and reduces the distance propor tionately from these points west. FROSH HARRIERS BREAK EVEN IN SEASON'S MEETS Carolina's freshman cross country team this year broke even in a schedule of four meets. In the early part of the season the frosh harriers were beaten by the V. P. I. freshmen by the score of 26-30. In the meet with the N. C. State freshmen, the Tar Babies were victors by a score of 29-37. The Duke frosh succumbed to the superior run ning of the Carolina freshmen by a score of 23-33. In the state championship meet held . here last Saturday as a prelim inary to the Southern Confer ence meet, the Duke yearlings did the unexpected when they defeated the Tar Babies and the N. C. State freshmen. The scores for this meet were: Duke 27, Carolina 35, and State 67. I ' : ; : : : : 1 1 -1 Yank Spaulding v - "Yank" Spaulding has been the most consistent fullback for the Tar Heels all season. Be cause of his ability on defense and at receiving passes he has been recognized as one of the finest backs in the state. Ticket Notice All student tickets on the South side of the stadium will admit through Gate 5 and all on the North side through Gate 3 only. (By J. C. Eagles) Naturally the game this after noon between the Tar Heels and Virginia holds the chief interest for fans in this section. In ad dition to this feature southern football offers quite a few other games of maj or interest. Geor gia meets Alabama. Tennessee battles . Kentucky. Duke and Davidson fight it out and Tulane engages L. S. U. Attempts to predict the results of football, games are always precarious, affairs. Today's slate offers more close games than usual but we make the at tempt anyhow. , Considering Carolina and Vir ginia first we find that from a comparison of season's records the Tar Heels have the edge. Since this is a generally conced ed idea we will dismiss with any further discussion of the battle srhfiduled for this afternoon in Kenan stadium. Now the Georgia-Alabama clash brings together two of the south's most outstanding elev ens. Neither boasts a perfect record, but each has registered victories over exceptionally pow erful teams and each has been a consistent winner all fall. While the Bulldogs are noted chiefly for their defense thei Crimson Tide relies chiefly on a driving offensive. Each club has a well rounded combination. Interest ing " will be the fight between Rothstein of Georgia and Holm of Alabama for the fullback posi tion on the mythical all-southern eleven. On their showing today depends each star's chance for the honor. Taking everything Dr. J. P. Jones Dentist Office Over Welcome Inn Cafeteria Telephone 5761 1 V .'

The shades of Carolina's by gone harriers, Henderson, Fish er, and Elliott seemingly inspir ed the 1929 Tar Heels to a victory over ten other South ern Conference teams last Satur day afternoon, giving the Uni versity its fourth consecutive championship title in this sport. A biting wind, sleet, and muddy course were not sufficient to daunt the spirit of the local hill-and-dalers. Named as under dogs in this meet, because of a previous defeat by the V. P, I. team, the Tar Heels retained their title by a decisive margin, and defeated the "cream of the South." 1 The 1929 cross country team did not have as smooth-going a course as might be supposed. It had a goodly share of hard luck, with illness eliminating some of the safest bets at the crucial moment. First it was Lowry, who was unable to participate in the N. C. State, and Duke meets because of an abscessed tooth. Then Creighton Wrenn, a three year letter man, was taken ill with mumps and was unable to run in the Duke and Southern Conference meets. Finally, HQ ward Simpson, one of the best reserves, was also eliminated by the mumps. Notwithstanding, the Tar Heel harriers, under the able tutelage of Coach Dale Hanson, last Sat urday completed a successful season with three victories and one deieat. Tnis aeteat was early in the season." Miles and Palmer, V. P. I.'s stellar runners, finished ahead of Barkley, Bau com and Lowry in this meet. The final score was 27-33. In the Carolina-N. C. State meet, a crowd of 10,000 in at tendance at the gridiron contest between the two schools watch ed Barkley, Baucom, Phoenix, Pierce, and Wrenn, cross the finishing line hand-in-hand to beat the State harriersith the lowest score possible in a cross country meet. The score for this meet was 15-45. The ancient rivalry between Carolina and Duke manifested itself in the grim determination of the Tar Heels to avenge the defeat administered by the Blue Devils last year. This run was hard fought from start to finish', but the Tar Heels achieved their aim, an.d Duke was defeated de cisively by a ' score of 21-39. Captain Barkley, Baucom, and Phoenix were the leading Caro lina men in this run. into consideration, ,we predict that Alabama will come qut in front,' though by no large mar . gin. . -.y . - NOW PLAYING - Richard Barthelmess . . in "Young Bill Thomas ( Bill Thomas, triple threat halfback, is one of the principal men in the Cavalier offense.

V i ' OLD TEAM MATES OPPONENTS TODAY Virginia Prep Schools Furnish Many Players for Cavaliers and Tar Heels. When Virginia and Carolina meet this afternoon several old acquaintances and rivalries of the gridiron will be renewed. Former teammates will meet as rivals and former rivals will play under the same flag. Episcopal" High school has giv en Gravatt, Moncure, Orrick, Faulconer, Taylor, Lankford, Bryant and Day to the Virginia squad. This afternoon they will meet, as a rival instead of as a teammate Gavin Dortch, Caro lina tackle. Dortch is a former Episcopal High captain. Three Virginia players and four Carolina players played to gether at Woodberry Forest. Meeting today as rivals will be Bill Ivey, John Wylly and John Peyton of Virginia, and Strud Nash, George Thompson, Tom Alexander and Julian Fenner of Carolina. ' The Woodberry and Episcopal High football teams meet every year. As there are playersfrom both schools on each team, to day's game will see the renewal of rivalries formed in prep i school days. "Rip" Slusser, Carolina halfback, starred at Augusta Military Academy. He can be counted on to do his share of carrying on these rivalries. Especially hard fought and in teresting should be the battle be tween the two centers.

He has made the grade at Virginia and is one of the best centers in the Old Dominion. Facing him to day will be Ned Iipscomb, also a former Greensboro center, who has settled the fears of those who mourned the loss of Harry Schwartz. Since both have de veloped into good college play ers, it's a sure thing that neither of the two is going to yield to the other without a hard fight. The struggle for supremacy be tween Taylor and Lipscomb should prove to be one of the game's most interesting features. Even in the days when Vir ginia won the annual classic regularly all games between these two institutions were hard fought. In modern times the game has come to be regarded as one whose result is never set tled until the final whistle. This year, added to the traditional spirited fight between the two teams, there will be this renewal of rivalries. Every player is anxious to settle any question of supremacy, the answer to which may have been left in doubt, in today's game. This added zest, due to the personal contacts between the members of both squads, will do much to make this game one of the most colorful in the history of the classic series. - Best Thanksgiving Wishes to All Carolina Men and All Chapel Hillians Jack Lipman's University Shop Dinners Today 10-2 the Victory at -'v' ' Continuing Patronage !'
