TIIE DAILY TAR HEEL 5, 1930 -s i Nation's Greatest Game Preserve An opportunity for North Carolina to become the Union's leading state as a home for game birds has been opened up by Joseph P. Knapp, the multi millionaire publisher who came down from the North a few years ago to make his home in Currituck county. W. O. Saunders, the Elizabeth City newspaper editor, who has written stories and articles for Mr. Knapp's magazines and has been a close acquaintance of his for many years, was in Chapel Hill last Friday evening and talked the project over with E. C. Branson, head of the Univer sity's department of rural social economics. Earlier in the day he had been in Raleigh in con- a science for centuries. Owners of Scottish moors get $10,000, 000 as rentals for land which is valueless for anything else ex cept grouse hunting. If our farmers will give their coopera tion, the thing is going to mean not only better shooting but also many millions of dollars in in creased revenue every year." ' One demonstration the found ation has in mind is to send a field representative into a quail region, where would be ex plained to a group of farmers the advantage to them the profit in dollars of forming themselves into a "shooting pre serve club." The individual farmer with 100 or 200 acres cannot kill vermin, take care of ference with President Brooks of State College and J. W. Har relson, head of the state depart ment of conservation and de velopment. Mr. Knapp. has got about 25 wealthy men to join him in es tablishing a foundation called "More Game Birds in America." A million dollars has already been contributed, and the amount is to be raised later to 10,000,000. This group of men, if they can obtain the proper cooperation in the way of protective laws and regional pro tective associations, will select North Carolina as the state in which to carry through their en terprise. They favor it because of its natural advantages as a home for game birds ; it has mountains hills, vast areas of unsettled fields and woods, and flatlands, swamps and bays ; it is easily accessible to the most populous sections of the coun try; and Mr. Knapp and his as sociates think that its people and its government have a progres sive spirit that will move them to take a deep interest in a ven ture that promises such great benefits to the state. Governor Gardner , is giving his enthusiastic support to the project, and all the state offi cials, educators, business men, and farmers to whom it has been explained hold the opinion that it will augment the material wealth as well as the prestige of the state. It will bring sports men and their families here, it will increase the vajue of lands, ana it will constitute a new source of revenue for farmers who maintain shooting pre serves, breed bird dogs, serve as guides, and provide quarters for visitors. ' Among the men associated with Mr. Knapp in the founda tion are Harry B. Hawes, for mer United States senator, president; Thomas W. Lamont, treasurer; William E. Corey, M. Hartley Dodge, Felix duPont, Richard F. Howe, Ogden M. Reid, George Whitney, and Francis D. Bartow. , Mr. Knapp has made a start in game preservation and de velopment on his own estate in Currituck county. Last year, for example, he collected 6,000 duck eggs which produced 3,500 ducks. He plans to continue his breeding on a far more extensive scale. W. O. Saunders, who has had the advantage of a close-up view of what Mr. Knapp has accom plished on his own land and wa ter holdings, has volunteered his services to bring the project to the attention of the people of the state to the end that there may be general enlightenment on the subject before the legislature convenes in January. "The results of such an un dertaking are not a matter of surmise," said the editor when he was here last week, "because we have already before us what European countries have achieved by their efforts at game preservation. In Great Britain, for instance, it has been quail and keep off trespassers at any profit, but a group of them owning collectively 10,000 to 20,000 acres at once become im portant. It can put game birds onto these acres, can kill off ver min, can thoroughly discourage trespass and can make extra money off their acres by doing this. Next, the Foundation will loan to this community club the necessary funds to erect a hatch ery with incubators, brooders, etc., thus starting the commun ity club game farm; The loan made by "the foundation would be repaid out of part of the profits, as and when made by the community game farm. If money be lost, the foundation is the loser and not the farmer. The principal source of profit to the farmer will come from his proportion of the sale of shoot ing privileges on the shooting club's preserve. Permits for these would be obtained by visit ing sportsmen probably at des ignated stores in the central town anc would be based upon a minimum daily charge with probably an extra charge per bird killed. Guides would be furnished, and dogs, if desired, at given rates per day. At The Carolina Monday ?

Poss, tackle for Virginia, recovered, making it Virginia's ball, first down on the 35-yard line. With Thomas and Beury car rying the ball the Cavaliers got a first down, but the Duke line stiffened and it was the Meth odists' ball on the 23-yard line. Ershler met with little diffi culty in carrying the ball over by a drive over center for the third touchdown of the after noon. The extra point was good when Brewer hit the line for the three yards. Thomas Runs 45 Yards Duke kicked off to Virginia with Thomas receiving. Thom as took the ball on his ten-yard line and shook off tackier after tackier, finally being downed on Duke's 45-yard line. But again the Cavalier offense failed to function because of the weak nesses in the line and Duke got the ball on downs. Late in the third quarter Mur ray and lviuiien alternated . at carrying the ball and drove down to the one-yard line by off-tackle plays and line bucks. Kid Brew er again took the ball across Vir ginia's last white stripe.
