Carolina Ami Duke TO CLASH SATURDAY IN STATS TITLE GAME Content u Expected to Drpw Crowd Of 20,000, Largest in State This Tear ? Team* Appear Pretty 1 Evenly Matched ? Both Claim to Present Star? ? *j Chapel Hill, N. C., Not. !?.? *b? powerful Carolina and Dukq football teams will clash here Sa<*tdar af ternoon at 2 o'clock fW the stile : championship. The contest is being billed as the "game of the year" in North Caro lina, and Is expected to draw a crowd of 20,000. These arch-rivals of football in the State played dogged and furious games to 0-0 ties in 1930 and again la 1931. Carolina is out to defand its rec ord of no football losses to Duke since 1893. The teams did not meet from 1894 to 1922, and Carolina has won or tied all the games since. Duke, with one of its strongest teams in years, will be equally in tent on breaking that record. i The Blue Devils are conceded 'slight favorites by virtue of their (showing against Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky. Carolina defeated the State team which upset Duke, however, and the Tar Heels have looked mighty good in their last three consecutive vic tories. Both teams will offer many stars. Duke's 170-pound eleven will only outweigh Carolina onej pound: A nip-and-tuck classic Is expected. The line that held Auburn, Ten nessee and Kentucky should give Duke a flight advantage defensive ly, but the Tar Heels haire moio backfield stars and more reserve power for offensive thrills. The game will match probably the State's twp greatest punters, Rossiter of Duke and Burnett of Carolina, and also some of its finest passers, including Laney and Ros siter of Duke and Phipps and McCaskill of Carolina. Other big boys who will clash in tkis battle for All-State posts in clude Mason, Laney, Abbott, Ersh ler, Duke backs, and Crawford and Werner, linemen; against Daniel, Croom, Phipps, Chandler and other Carolina backfield aces, and Under wood and Walker, star linemen.
