TUESDAY- NOVEMBER 6, 1934 THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE THREE TTTT .amersdulun '. With WW$1 To .Wiiii: 15-48 McRae Outclasses Field To Cop Easy First; Waldrop Second. Haywood, Conte Tie for Third; Gammon Is Fourth. Lexington, Va. Nov. 5. (UP) The University of North Carolina's well-balanced cross country team turned in a per fect score here 'today in outrun ning the V. M. I. Cadets, 15-48. Ed McRae, Tar Heel ace, com pletely outclassed the field of runners and breezed into the Number 1. position with the time of 23:55. minutes for the four and three-tenths mile course. The first Virginia man to finish was Captain Moore who closely followed the fifth Caro linian. Other Tar Heels Ed Waldrop placed second in the race, which was run over quite a v difficult course. Fab Haywood and Louis Conte tied for third and Graham Gammon broke the tape in fifth position. Their win today gave the Tar Heels a perfect score for their week-end's work here "in t Lex ington. They beat Washington and Lee Saturday, 20-43, but Dunaj of the Generals captured the first place. The Ranson run ners finished in order as follows : McRae, Waldrop, Haywood, Conte, Curlee, Bower, and Allen. WILUS-HENDERSON ELIMINATE SEEDED PAIR IN DOUBLES Defeat Jones and Whitaker in Straight Sets and Enter Semi-Final Round. TOURNEY MOVES SLOWLY The doubles tourney, which has been stalled for quite some time, again got under way and moved one notch closer to com pletion yesterday when Archie Henderson and Ricky . Willis swept tne iourtn-seeaea pair right out of the tourney. Larry Jones and Myers Whit aker were the victims, and al though they gave all they had, their die-hard spirit was not suf ficient to stem the tide of the powerful combination on the other side of the "net, "and they went under in straight sets. Long First Set The first set see-sawed into extra games before Willis and Henderson were able to tuck it away. That hard fought set was the turning point of the battle and the victors ran through the next set .with ease and scored at 6-2 for a straight set victory and a berth in the semi-finals. Wil lis and Henderson were consid ered the finest of the unseeded pairs and they immediately set about proving their right to a higher ranking with this spark ling victory over a seeded team. It had been rumored before hand that this combination would probable he the dark horse of the tourney. However, their next match, if the favorites run true t6 form, will run them head-on into the strongest dou bles combination on the courts in the persons of Eddy De Gray and Wally. Levitan. The only other match on the board that promises action is the Harris-Abels affair with Bar telman and Clover. The seeded pair of Harvey Harris and Byron Abels is considered a heavy fa vorite but many a good shot lies in the racquets of their oppo nents and an interesting contest looms. The tournament is still being slowed by uncompleted early matches and the contest ents are urged to finish early. Jrertect JR. CHI PSI REMAINS UNBEATEN IN TAG FOOTBALL RANKS Zeta Psi and St. Anthony Also Get Mural Wins; Three Games Set for Today. CHANGES IN SCHEDULE The opening session of the fifth Week in the intramuraltae football competition played yes terday afternoon saw , Zeta Psi beating D. K.

Tar Babies Start In Prep For After Week-end of Rest, James- men Take Stiff Workout; Team in Good Shape. MEET DUKE FROSH NEXT Coach Snavely Helps James with First Year Men; Short Scrimmage Is Held. The Tar Babies' week-end of rest evidently did not hinder their sprightliness of last week, for. they immediately picked up where they left off, and romped eagerly through a hard drill yes terday afternoon, in prepara tion for their combat with Clemson on Monday, November 12, at Asheville, N. C. If the play of the yearlings yesterday was any criterion by which to judge their possibili ties in the forthcoming struggle, then the Clemson Tiger Cubs will have to play football par ex cellent if they wish to stop the much improved Jamesmen. Still Chance in Big Five Due to the unexpected upset of the State f rosh at the hands of the Duke Blue Imps, the Tar Babies are well aware of the chance they stand of tying the state race in a knot when they battle Duke. Realizing the toughness of that future assign ment they have plunged into the practice scrimmages with a re newed vigor in an effort to reach their peak for the important games to come. Coach Snavely was down on the field yesterday, aiding the boys in their maneuvers and teaching them some new tricks to mix with the old ones. Snavely gave quite a few helpful hints to numerous players, who im mediately showed improvement. Ed Juliper especially capitalized on the advice of the veteran (Continued on last page) Tar Baby Harriers Meet Wildkittens The freshman cross country men will meet their first opposi tion of the season this Saturday when they journey to Davidson to' meet the Wildkittens. The meet. with Duke, previ ously scheduled for today or to morrow, has been postponed un til next week. The Tar Baby runners have come along quite well to date and have been working hard to get into proper condition. The lead ing harriers include: Rivers, Davison, Rowley, Bronitsky, Rabb, D'Ascensio, Braxton, Gove, E ichor n, Darden, Chait ken, and White. all in superb style.

Besides the slow moving dou bles tourney, the tennis courts are the scene of frequent ladder struggles for positions on the varsity and freshman teams, which were inaugurated late last week and promise to con tinue at a steady rate. Many challenges have already been posted and to date the sur prising factor has been the con sistent victories for the chal lenger over the defender. Frosh Challenges All the completecl contests are in the freshman group and the first saw the toppling of Van Hecke from his position of tenth. He was moved down at the hands of Bloom in an easy 6-3, 6-1 victory, and is now on the outside looking in. Johnny Yeomans continued the slaughter, when he moved into seventh position with a three-set victory over Stewart Parker, after dropping the open ing set. Yesterday, Seymore Fast, formerly eighth, stepped out and clearly outplayed Berge 6-3, 6-3 to gain possession of the sixth rung. On the strength of (Continued on last page) See , J w t&m) Snavely Pleased Entire Squad CAROLINA STARTS DRIVE FOR STATE FOOTBALL TITLE Tar Heels Meet Davidson Away t This Week-end and Return Home for Duke Battle. WILDCATS WIIJL BE TOUGH After their trek to Georgia re sulting in their walloping the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado, the Tar Heels will remain on Old North State soil for several weeks waging battles with Dav idson and Duke for the cham pionship of the Big Five. The Tar Heels go to Davidson for their annual battle with the Wildcats Saturday. The Carolina-Duke classic, which drew close to 30,000 people last year, will be played in Kenan stadium the following Saturday. Carolina and Duke are the on ly two elevens remaining unde feated in Big Five play, and the Tar Heels are seen as the only team with a chance to depose the Blue Devils of the crown they won in 1933. Davidson Looms Big Coach Carl Snavely is con fronted with the difficult prob lem of keying the Tar Heels up for the tough game .they can ex pect from Davidson while look ing ahead to their final home game with Wallace . Wade's mighties. It is not likely that the Tar Heels, who have good reason to appreciate the strength and fighting qualities of .Wildcat elevens from other years, will make the mistake of taking Davidson lightly. Carolina barely beat the Pres byterians last year, 6-0, and Johnny Mackorell, their triple threat and ace back, was laid up with injuries that day. Aerial Attack Dangerous The scintillating aerial attack which Mackorell and George Wingfield have been engineering this year has given some of the strongest teams, including Duke's mighties, great difficulty. With Hutchens and Yar- borough, they also present a hard running' attack. Although State beat them 7-0 and only tied Carolina 7-7,' the experts say State was a much better team against Davidson than it was against Carolina. , For the next two weeks the Tar Heels will devote their en tire attention to settling up their home affairs after which they will go to Virginia to . close the season with their annual Thanksgiving classic with the Cavaliers.

The Tar Heel gridsters got a holiday yesterday afternoon as a reward for their brilliant play ing against Georgia Tech Satur day. It was the first "graf ' Professor Snavely has given the boys since the season began. "Well, I hope they don't get too cocky," was Coach Snavelys comment when interviewed by a sports writer of the Daily Tar Heel last night. When asked what he thought about the decisive 26-0 score run up against the Yellow Jackets, the Carolina mentor chuckled, "It would be nice to have some of that figure to add to our score when we play Duke." Fine Blocking Coach Snavely attributed the victory to the fact that "Our boys just got in there and did some fine blocking as any good football team ought to do." The Carolina coach was high ly pleased with the performance of the Tar Heel forward wall. "Our linemen tackled so hard that it looked as if they would knock those Tech backs loose from their shoes." Coach Snave ly commented. . When asked about' individual stars of the game, the Tar Heel mentor replied, "Barclay played his best game of the season and Montgomery did a nice job at Shaffer's position; however, the entire team played good foot ball.'" The Tar Heels will journey, to Davidson this week-end where they will encounter Big Five competition as they take on the Davidson College Wildcats. The Snavely aggregation emerged intact from the Georgia Tech contest; so the same stark ing lineup" will probably get the first call against the Wildcats. Co-ed Net Tourney The co-ed tennis tournament will get underway today.' The contest is to be run off in the form of a ladder tournament.
