BROHARD DAVIDSON STAR Fraley Makes 'Cat Touchdown on Line Buck; McQueen Rips Off Great Gains. By Don Shoemaker Davidson College met and de feated the University today by a score of 7-6, but the numerical margin of victory fails to tell the tale of how a beaten and broken Wildcat eleven was driven into its lair in the first, period, and emerged to claw a strong Tar Heel aggregation all over the soggy gridiron in one of the most spectacular offensive drives ever recorded in the annals of North Carolina football. Failure to add the extra point after touchdown spelled defeat for the Heels. . . The Wildcat line was puncture proof and a wet field rendered the Carolinians aerial attack in consistent. Davidson's super iority on a wet field was demon strated in the first few seconds of the game when McCall seized Branch's kickoff on his own twelve yard line and ran the ball to the Carolina twenty-nine yard stripe. However, the Carolina forward wall held, and Davidson i was forced to relinquish ball on downs. the After an exchange of punts in j siastic and emotional public sup the middle of the initial period, Portthat'we have enjoyed in the Carolina took the ball on her;!ast 1ht years.'l This state- forty-five yard line and began the fifty-five yard march, down the field to the first score. Nash netted eleven yards on two tries at the end of the line and Vagner carried the ball thru tackle to the 28 yard line. After seesaw ing around the twenty yard line, first gaining and then ' losing, Magner shot a pass , to Nash across the line for the touch down. Branch's kick failed. Branch placed the ball in scoring position near the end of the quarter when he received Brock's punt on his twenty yard line and streaked up the side line for sixty-six yards. Mag ner and Nash punctured the line to the three yard stripe where Houston added a yard. With the oval on the three yard line after Nash had been cut down in his tracks a yard behind the line, the quarter ended. Forced back to the nine yard line, Branch passed over the goal and the ball went over to Davidson on their own twenty yard line. On a beautiful off tackle smash, McQueen broke thru the Tar Heel forward wall for forty one yards to the Caro lina eighteen yard marker. Un able to net more than a yard in three tries at the line McCall dashed around the end to the Carolina nine yard mark where Fraley drove over tackle for the touchdown after McQueen had (Continued on last page) Emory University Student Body Abolishes Track Team Atlanta, November 15-Emory University students ratified the vote of the athletic council of the institution for the abolish ment of intercollegiate track last I week. The vote was 410 to 297 for dispensing with track this year and came after the Athletic council had gone on record at the suggestion of, the E Club to remove the sport from the uni versity. Paramount among the reasons advanced for the action was the financial status of track activities which was said to be to poor circumstances.

Elliott of Purdue said, "Public interest in intercollegiate athletics is wan ing so rapidly that the time may be near for the restriction of its field. Except possibly where a .championship is at stake, we may ho longer , count on the enthu- ment is just a polite way of tak ing a crack at professional foot ball, which has., undoubtedly taken away some of the color and thrill of the intercollegiate sport. It seems as though foot ball stars are entering college in order to get a suitable .back ground for the professional sPort - But fortunately, after a few years of unbounded popular ity, professional football is dis tinctly on the wane, and judging by the gate receipts and attend ance figures at intercollegiate games, college football seems to be more popular now than ever. In spite of the "hard times" that are sweeping the country, at tendance records for nearly all the big games have been broken, and the increase in strength of the small college teams have also led to an increase in their atten dance figures. It seems as though the Uni versity of Maryland is going to have undisputed claim to the title of "Iron Men of 1930." The Old Liners will engage in three games, all hard ones, in eight days, a big piece for any team to bite off. , On November 22, they will meet the strong Navy outfit; on Thanksgiving the an nual game with Johns Hopkins, ancLwith only two days of rest, will take on Vandy to complete their "suicide schedule." With good luck, the. Old Line eleven ought to beat the Navy and John vHopkins, but great doubt is expressed at their chances of including Vandy on the right side of the ledger. Two of the most colorful fig ures that have ever donned ! American League unuorms have been cut loose- from the -PMiflVlAlnhia Athletics' roster and it looks as though . their major league careers are at an end. The players in question are Wallv Schang, catcher, ana jonn Picus "Quinn, pitcher. Both of these veterans were largely re sponsible for Connie Mack's frreat machine of 1914 becoming thA r.lasa of baseball. With the Brock by his spectacular punting and blocking, and Brohard by his sensational Ipng dashes were the main factors in the David son victory. Brohard proved a constant threat to the Tar Heels, and Brock with his effective punting kept the Wildcats' goal out of danger through a large portion of the game. Four Fraternities For Riht The regular schedule of intra- i mural tag ball was completed on Friday and the powers of the intramural office will make a check up "on the standings of all teams engaged in the strug gle. On Monday Shelton, first lieutenant to Gray, Intramural head, will announce the play-off schedules for the four undefeat ed fraternity teams. The out fits that fight it out for the right to take on Ruffin, dormitory champ forthe campus title are Phi Gams, A. T. O., Dekes, and the Betas. On Monday the fraternity group will be narrowed down to three when the Dekes meet the Betas. Ruffin, has still one post poned game to play before they enter the finals. Law School with only one defeat on their re cord are determined to upset the ambitions of the Ruffin club. The savants declare that Ruffin has the title sewed up, but should Law School win, the dor mitory race will be thrown into a triple tie among New Dorms, Ruffin, and Law School. The Phigees and the A. T. O.'s will be on the sidelines scouting the Deke-Beta Game. The Betas, NEWT SEWER INSTALLED A new storm sewer has been installed along main street of Chapel Hill. The sewer was con structed so as to enable the wa ter which collects along Frater nity Row to be drawn off. It is made of large clay .pipes one foot in diameter and has its junction, which is made of brick and cement, at the end of Fra ternity Row. Negro Butlers Organize At the University of Georgia, negro butlers have organized a fraternity to be known as the Silver Kings. .

': The Phi Gams on Friday struggled through 40 minutes of hard football on a soft field to beat the T. E. P.'s by the close margin of three first downs. The Phigees opened up. with a tri umphant march down toward the T. E. P. goal but were held for downs. The T. E. P.'s came back strong but were unable to overcome the early lead. Hirsh was the big threat in the T. E. P. backfield with Coates taking the spot with his defensive work on the line. Howard was throw ing the passes for the Phigees with Morrison and Slate drag ging them in. The A. T. O.'s were only able to score twice on the Phi Sigma Kappa's. The A. T. O.'s will meet hard going in the play-offs and will have to show more scor ing power. liumn scored three times on Aycock while the Law School was only able to tally once. The intramural, office has planned the championship game on Friday. This date is subject to weather conditions that might affect the play-off schedule. CAGLE RESIGNS AS GRID COACH Former Army Ace Leaves Miss- issippi A. and M. Post to Join New York Pros. New York, November 15. Self -admittedly a failure at foot ball coaching, Cris Cagle, former Army grid star, announced Wed nesday that he had signed to play with the New York Giants, professional team, for the re mainder of the season. In a letter which accompanied Cagle's signed contract the All American back stated that he was dissatisfied with his efforts at Mississippi A.ancLM. where he has been coaching since his res ignation from the military acad emy last year. His Mississippi team has lost five out of six games played so far this season. Cagle is to leave Starvill Mississippi, by airplane today and will arrive here in time for the game between the Giants and the Chicago Bears. Dormitories and Fraternity Houses Have Dedicated Rooms Which Strenuous Campaigns and Even Tournaments Are Wraged in the Interest of Rising Game. ; o . In those little by-ways and highways in which .the students congregate, there has been heard, in increasing volume dur ing the past several weeks the insistent demands that ping pong be recognized by the intra- 1 XT.1i-- J '1 the University; plans have been verbally formed with which to petition "Bo" Shepherd to sat isfy the indoor athletes who spend hours at the ping-pong board.- To the observant by stander of this 'rapidly rising feeling on the campus, it ap pears that it will not be long be fore the adherents of the ancient and mystic order of Ping-Pong will take measures in; their own hands in order to instigate a campus-wide tournament, or at least, an inter-fraternity con test. Several of the dormitories have dedicated what was for merlyknown as the social room, or general lounge room of the dormitory to the modern sport, and Aycock dorm prides itself upon the fact that as early as last Spring quarter no one but ping-pong enthusiasts were per- a mitted in the general social room of that building. But at his writing, the center of the! new pastime finds itself in the fraternity houses; in the newer tiouses, where there are side- porches, and several "living Tl t rooms, tnere nave oeen set up tables and nets, as well as re feree chairs and places for spec tators. In the older houses, where the finance committee has not as yet learned the various schemes of floating new, bigger, and better lodges, the group who are yearning for the re sounding smack of the racquet upon the celluloid ball, the boys who dash in after classes, re gardless of letters, work or even the "show" and scramble for next" at the ping-pong table those boys have converted the argest available bed-room into sacred shrine and place of worship at the altar of Parker Bros.' game. Large Crowds Watch Civic Clubs Bowl ' o- There was a large crowd of loyal rooters on hand Monday, night, Nov. 10, to watch the city's Civic game of the season. The Lions Club team displayed three games from the Kiwanians with a total of 1339 pins as against a total for the Kiwanis team of 1162 pins. The A. B. C. Club captured high honors for the evemng m pins gathered, their total for the three games being 1355, to beat the Monarchs two games out of three. 1 It has been officially, announced that the American Legion will enter the Civic League during esting to note that at the University of North Carolina an Inter- Fraternity League will be started. This league is now under way and will start in the next few days. Bowling is now fast becoming a recognized sport among the collegians at the up-to-date colleges. The formation of this league is being looked forward to with eager anticipation. This entire league is being sponsored by the Dur ham Bowling Center.

Isaacs ; ; : Total Practically every fraternity has held a ping-pong tourna ment, or are in the middle of one now. These elimination contests are not the inocuous things that the casual reader may believe they are, merely be cause they are played indoors with a ball that weighs almost nothing, and with a racquet the size of a well-done hotcake. No, indeed, all the zest, all the fire, all the fight that goes into a football game, or a tennis match are present at one of the ping pong games. In one house's back room, a trunk , has been pulled up near the table, and a chair placed upon the trunk, and in that chair much like the um pire at an international tennis match, sits the referee, calling each shot, and keeping accurate scores. The excitement that is an integral part of every sport worthy of the name is present in the ping-pong games parti cipants get sore, try to "kill" the ball, sometime they doubt the accuracy of the referee's judg ments, and there is much yelling and screaming, etc., etc. " Oc- ! casionally two persons who have never Deen weii-aisposea towaras , -l M 'lit j each other are pitted against one another in the round-robin, and although they begin passive ly enough, it isn't long before one of them lets forth an acri monious howl, and it does hap pen that the loser, who feels that another lost point won't matter anyway, will carefully slam the ball with all he has in the gen eral direction of his opponent's face. ' Yes, indeed, there are all sorts of little knicks and knacks' in this gentle sport that is sweep ing the former yo-yo fans, and professional non-athletes from their former almost-impregnable positions. Another pretty good memory test is to try to remember the names of as many as two of the 59 titans who rule this land of the free and the home of the Noble Experiment. Macon Tel egraph.
