TUESDAY MORNING
BRAINSTOR5I
If this is football, make mine
va-
nilla. The next party that asks this
department to risk its well-worn ren-
utation iurtner Dy attempting- to guess
onder which shell the pea is and who
will win the football games will get his
hair parted by a suitable brick saved
for the purpose and be escorted out
of town on the end. of what is known
in and out of polite society as a rail.
An upset is an upset. They happen
every once in a while and under the
circumstances all anyone ' can do is
smile sweetly three times, revolve rap
idly with a "can such things be" look
on his pan and charge the matter up
to experience. But when 27 upsets oc
cur on the same afternoon the time
has come to quit worrying about such
foolish matters as football and turn
thoughts to such serious matters as to
who that blonde is and whatever hap
pened to the war on the western front.
PLEASANT AFTERNOON
Now last Saturday was a. pleasant
afternoon. It was hot, in fact it might
be said it was a scorcher. The sun
wasn't the only thing warming up the
atmosphere. Don't look now, but a
lot of football teams that weren't sup
posed to win games didn't exactly come
out on the bottom with black eyes and
another defeat to lay in the trophy
case back home in the gym. It is
not our intention to point the finger
of scorn at anyone or any school, but
after considerable cogitation the fol
lowing rdsults were noted - which
weren't supposed to be seen observed
or possible.
(1) Virginia Tech held Carolina to
two touchdowns.
(2) Colgate merely held on . for
dear life against Duke.
(3) Alabama defeated Fordham
(4) What happened to Holy Cross
in the LSU game?
(5) Among other things; Minne
sota and Nebraska lost; TCU dropped
its second game in a row, losing to
Arkansas; Yale lost to Columbia, and
so it, goes. on.thxoughthe afternoon,
evening and night.
UPSETS
Life for the football coach has be
come one upset after another. - A
mastermind can never tell whether he
will win a game or not on any given
afternoon. All he can do is send 11
men out on the field at one time and
pray the boys will act as perfect gen
tlemen and as thev did at various
times at practice sessions. It is all
very discouraging to a coach however
to have to explain to irrate alumni
just why a certain school beat Old
Broken Back, especially if the coach
doesn't know himself and if he did
would be too ashamed to admit it in
public or private conversation or to
his best friends.
Maybe the best way to eliminate
upsets would be to abolish football.
But that would be too impractical
Look at the investment. If football
was done away with the following
would happen, there would be a great
flux of labor on the coal mine and steel
mill market; the football pool opera
tors would be forced to earn their meat,
bread and potatoes in honest enter
prises: and vn firms: in&urance com
panies would suddenly find themselves
with imnosinc fnnfhall stadiums on
their hands and nothing to put in 'em
except spare geraniums.
ALL NOT LOST
But all is not lost, There was no
Carolina upset Saturday. That should
he encouraging news to the great por
tion of the student body who upon
hearing the Virginia Tech score at
13-6, began wondering if it had been
113-6 or whether Coach Raymond B.
olf of the home forces hadjeft his
first three teams home.
The word is that the first team was
at Norfolk. But it did not play very
". Mr. Wolf was not taking
chances. A win is a win, but the score
doesn't mean very much just as long
as you can come out on top. So Mr,
Wolf,
groaning, moaning and looking
at the schedule ahead listing games'
NYU, Tulane, Penn.and State
on successive Saturdays, decided dis
cretion was the better part of run

first stringers did not play long enough
to nin up a major league sweat. .

'Peppy' Tar Babies
Prep For Opener
With Tech Friday
Knowing their assignments better
than they have all fall, Carolina's
frosh footballers went through their
first major preparation for their open
er Friday against the Little Gobblers
of Virginia Tech with so much en
thusiasm that no one could venture a
guess as to who would be in the start
ing line-up.
Renewing their blocking and Jtack
ling drills and ending the afternoon
with another dummy scrimmage, the
frosh performed much better than they
did last Friday, when all their play
was ragged. The Tar Babies play in
Blacksburg, and since all of the squad
will be unable to go, competition in
creased until the coaches declared that
the first and second team lines appear
ed even and the backfield was almost as
big a problem.
TWO FOR ONE
The Tar Babies have four ends, four
tackles, five guards and two centers
who are considered equal at present,
and there are two capable men at each
backfield position.
At end are Roth and Cooper, who
started the year as first string, and
Hodges, the best pass catcher of the
lot. and Crowson. At tackle are Koy
RnvHpr. Johnston. Michaels and Gue.
At guard are Wolf, Ginsberg, Heim
"'J W 9
ovich, Marshall and Webb. Whitten,
a converted f ulback, and Cook are the
leading centers.
Lining ud the team at scrimmage
yesterday, the coaches had little choice
between these men.
Al Remy, the leading quarterback
and the man with the most hustle, has
the best chance of all the Tar Babies
n start. Joe Austin, who was out a
week with a minor injury several weeks
to. and Pecora are the other tail
backs. At left half are Miller and Gib
bons, at right half are Barksdale and

Violets Will Be
Rough And Tough
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Dick Jamerson- who has spent his
last two week-ends engaged with the
business of scouting NYU, returned to
Chapel Hill yesterday with private
words, data and information for his
boss Raymond B. Wolf and public!
words that the Violets would be "rough, I
tough' and ready" when they come to
grips with Carolina in Kenan stadium
Saturday. .
Never a type of citizen who spent his
time 'tearing his hair, biting his finger
nails or crying out in public about the
cruelness of fate and the schedule mak
ers, Jamerson was ready to step up to
the wailing wall as he announced the
Violets are loaded. "NYU has the
best team it's had in years," he said,
and they're very likely to give us our
best game of the season."
GOT EVERYTHING
"They have a heavy line, a fine pass
ing attack, a collection of able backs
and everything a good football team
needs. They're primed and they want
revenge. Want revenge worse than
they ever have in the Mai Stevens re
gime. They figure they ought to beat
us this year and make up for those
three straight defeats Carolina has
hung on 'em the past autumns."
If NYU was so strong, how. would
Mr. Jamerson explain the fact that the
score was NYU 7, Colgate 6 and Duke
37, Colgate 0?
"It was raining when NYU played
Colgate. If the field had been dry the
score would have been much higher.
The Violets really have a fine club. I
can't emphasize that too much. They
still haven't shown their full power.
They used everybody but the water
boy, coaching staff and people in the
stands in beating PMC, 43-0, Satur
day and didn't do much except run
with the ball and score.
BOELL STANDS OUT
'Ed Boell is a fine piece of football
I machinery. He is a great passer and
kicker and a fine' runner. .He is the
backfield standout but not the only
good player back there. Joe LaManna
and Howard Mikulka are both fine
runners and pretty fair passers. Then
they have a sophomore ace named Joe
Frank who is about as good as Boell
in everything; passing running and
kicking. Alex Campanis is the next
best blocker and pass receiver on the
club. 1
"The line has six gentlemen who
could play on anybody's ball club. Har
ry Petereit and Irvin Hyman are stand
out tackles, Bill Helmcke and Art Cas
telli are great guards, Jim Conlan is
a fine center and Bob Connolly can do
everything required of him at end.
"They have Rose Bowl hopes in New
York and maybe they are right. The
Violets have an over-abundance of both
power and deft, using Notre Dame,
double wing and single wing offenses
at various times. And in two games
they've already used six different de
fensive formations. Yes sir, NYU is
loaded."
Bill Lange, who spends his falls
commuting between New Orleans,
Tulane and Chapel Hill, returned to
Woollen gym with his weekly report
on the Green Wave which Carolina
meets a week from Saturday.
"Tulane is further along than they
were last year at this time and a much
improved club in beating Auburn 12-0
than they were in taking Clerr$scyn
7-6 a week ago. It was awful hot m
New Orleans this week-end and Red
Dawson used two complete teams of
lettermen. Tulane has amazing reserve
material and two different sets of
backs who can run, kick and pass if
required.
"I'd say Kellogg and Hays are the
two best backs. They're triple threat
men. Tulane hasn't tried more than
seven passes in its two games, but when
the Greenies start tossing footballs
through the air these two fellows will
do the throwing. Stan Nythan is as
fine a kicker as ever. Cassibry and
Gloden are experienced backs and I'd
say a sophomore named Bob Glass has
promise of developing into the best
back on the squad. He hasn't much

Baseball Candidates

WIN IN TOURNEY
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va., Oct. 9 Bill Rawlings and Walter
Meserole of the University of North
Carolina will meet each other tomor
row in the quarter-final round of the
Middle Atlantic intercollegiate tennis
tournament, one of the major net tour
neys of the fall season.
First and second round matches
were completed today before a good
sized crowd of tennis f ansl The weather
was perfect and the courts in excel
lent shape.
SECOND ROUND
Rawlings, co-captain of the North
Carolina team, beat Moats of Muhlen
berg college, 6-2, 6-4, in a second
round match. Meserole topped Shep
person of Rider college in two smash
ing 6-0, 6-2 sets.
Earlier today Rawlings defeated
Dudderer of West Virginia university,
6-1, 6-2, in a first round match.
The North Carolina doubles team,
seeded first, drew a bye.
Harriers Begin
Tough Practice
i
With the first meet less than two
weeks off and time trials scheduled
for this Friday to determine the first
eight men on the squad, the freshman
and the varsity cross country teams
will swing into a program of hard,
strenuous work for the remainder of
the week, Coach Dale Ranson said
yesterday.
Definite word was received from
Maryland yesterday agreeing to a
Tar Heel-Terp meet on October 28 at
College Park, . Md., this completing
Carolina's schedule. The other meets
are Davidson (varsity and frosh) here
October 21; Maryland there October
28; Duke (varsity and frosh) here
November 4; Navy here November. 11;
and the Southern Conference meet on
either November 18 or 25. Two re
serve meets are scheduled with Guil
ford but the dates have yet to be de
cided upon.
TAKING THINGS EASY
Ranson announced that the work
most of the squad took things rather
easy after laying off over the week
end. Ranson announced that the work
of. clearing out the underbrush on the
new Brafford-Lewis cross country
course was progressing. The course
will probably be used for the first
time for the Carolina Davidson races.

StirnyToPlay
In Game Saturday
Iodine and adhesive tape were much
in evidence yesterday afternoon as
the varsity football squad, bruised and
a little battered after a successful
three-weeks campaign, began prepara
tion for the non-shrinking Violets of
NYU.
But ever-cheerful Ray Wolf an
nounced that his men would be in fine
shape by Saturday, including the in
valid of the Wake Forest encounter,
George Stirnweiss.
Latest additions to the growing list
of banged-up football , players are
Frank Doty, Jim Mallory and Bob
Snjith. Doty, a reserve end, chipped
an ankle bone in the VPI game and
will be out three or four weeks; in
the same sixty minutes Smith and Mal
lory acquired charley horses Mal
lory also nurses a bruised elbow.
O'Hare is still bothered by his ankle,
and Stirnweiss hasn't yet discarded
the limp which goes with the injured
thigh muscle he contracted in the
game with the Deacons.
WOLF HARD-PUT
Wolf was hard-put to answer the
question now going the rounds because
of the 13-6 score over Virginia Tech.
"We just ran into a tough ball club
that was ready," he said yesterday.
"VPI played a fine game, they had men
who hadn't been able to play before,
and they were out to get us."
The coach admitted that perhaps his
team did not play the best ball it was
capable of; he also mentioned that he'
was glad the "let-down" came when it
did, for in NYU this Saturday he sees
a tough opponent.
In practice yesterday the varsity
ran through a peppy session of offense
against probable New York defen
sives, brushed up on pass defense and
then finished the day with Stirnweiss,
Lalanne, and O'Hare throwing passes
for ..all they were worth. Wolf alter
nated his men frequently, and the in
jured worked " more or less lightly.
Harry. Dunkle was shoved into the
first-string line-up over Sid Sadoff.
SCOUTS
Scouts who travelled the various
points of the compass Saturday
brought back unencouraging reports
which served only to pace the squad
more intensely through its two-hour
period of work. Lange said Tulane had
enough men to make a majority in the
Senate, and Jamerson declared simply
that "unless we stop NYU's passes,
