THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1921. 14 State Wins Crown: Virginia Fre sh Beats N. C.;Harvard Trims Yq Ritch 's Reds AreDefeated By Yearlings From Furrnan U. Shift Play of Collegians Baffled Local Eleven in the First Half. TAYLOR WAS THE STAR- "Rat" Austin Starred for Locals; Injuries Weaken ed Prep Offense. By DICK YOUNG. Using a shift play that was startling and dazzling, the Furman University Freshman team snowed under "PhilTy" Ritch's Charlotte University School eleven, 28 to 0. at "Wearn Field Sat urday afternoon; From the, first for mation, when the visitors sprang their shifting attack, the local Red Shirts were unable to stem- the " tide and allowed the collegians to administer a humiliating defeat. The proteges of "Speedy" Speer were slated to win and win they did. They did it in admirable fashion, pre venting Ritch's stars from even threat ening to score. With the shift came a series of double passes, that was a Chinese puzzle to the local defense and, within a few minutes after the opening of the game Simpson had carried the o al across for the first tally. Bull straightway kicked the goal. VISITORS SCORE EARLY. Furman kicked off after, touchdown and Ranson returned the ball 25 yards i on a trick pass. But the visitors line held and the ball went over in the center of the lld. Meehan made a fatal mistake by not punting the ball dcwn the field, fo? the South Carolina Baptists grabbed the leather and. witfli a vengeance started another-procession that ended in Taylor fchovine the ball ' p.cross for another, counter. Bull again kicked goal. The Furman yearlings threatened to score at the beginning of-the second period. Yarborough intercepted a '"for ward pass, heaved by Meehan, and raced 35 yards before he was downed Another pass to Coleman registered a 10-yard gain. C. V. S. took the ball on their own 21-yard line but Meehan punted after three futile tries for yardage. Furman took the pigskin and. with the shift again working, marched for another touchdown. Pearce going . across. Bull kicked goal. Ritch during the halves evidently gave his charges a lecture, heavily coated with mustard, for they jumped in the first play of the second half with a vicious lunge. The visitors were forced to punt several times ?nd were unable to score in the third term. Sttle. who took Meehan's place when he was injured, did the best punting of the day in the last half. Recovering D. Brown's fumble on their own 45-yard line, shortly after the ushering in of -the final quarter, the visitors started their last drive for th goal-line. Thev marched across the lines without faltering, Taylor hitting the line for the final tally. Eull again kicked.

SUITS and Overcoats at 1 Va OFF $35.00 Suits for New York, Nov. 19. Before a crowd of 5,000 people. Trinity College today played th heavy team of New lork University to a 7-7 tie. The light but determined aggregation from Dixie, by a. combination of line plunges and spec tacular forward passes, kept the Violet eleven on the defensive except for eight minutes of play. Only at the. close of thje. third period and at the opening of fne fourth were the Yankees able to advance through the Trinity line, and then a series of lateral passes and two end-runs gave them a touchdown, which tied the score made by the Meth odists in he first quarter."' In the opening quarter, Caldwell kick ed off to New York's ?0-yard line and the New Yorkers carried the ball for first down twice. Then the Trinity line.- held and forced "Weinheimer to puunt. Caldwell broke the punt and Simpson recovered the ball for an ad vance of 12 yards. A pass and line plunges by Garret, Smith and English took the ball on to the seven-yard line and English passed to Crute for a touchdown. Simpson kicked goal. The second quarter saw the Trinity men fighting desperately for , a socre and, with two yards to go to make first down, Simpson attempted a drop-kick from . the 40-yard line and failed by a narrow margin. New York , then got the ball, but Crute intercepted a pass and in midfield Neal leaped high for a phenomenal catch of a pass from Crute, The half ended with the ' ball headed straight and swiftly for New York's goal. Back with a vengeance and amid the wild cries for a score. New York, by a peries of end-runs and passes, temporar ily took the light but plucky Tar Heels (Continued on Page- fifteen.)

State Col lege ran true to the form always dis played in the long series between the two institutions and defeated Wake Forest here this afternoon by a scor of 14 to 0, the two touchdowns and goals, however, failing to tell the whole story of the clear margin of su periority of the Techs over their an cient rivals, the Baptists. The game definitely settled the State champion ship, the premier honors for 1921 rest ing securely in the grasp of Hartsell's Wolfpack. In only one department did Wake Forest measure up to State. Heckman punting just about on a par with Park, with both men averaging better-than 45 yards. The Techs were clearly superior in rushing the ball. making 11 first downs to four, and also snowed a decided edge in nandiing tne leather on forward passes. State scored early in the second quarter. Being unable to advance con sistently, Wake Forest punted 45 yards from her own -five-yard line to Pier son, who returned 20 yards before he was tackled. A pass, Faucette to Homewood. was good for 12 yards, and Pierson clipped off 15 around the left flank. Park then slipped three yards through, tackle, for. the touchdown .and Faucette kicked goal. Getting possession of the ball on the 35-yard line just before the period ended,- State started another drive destin ed later to yield the final points Pierson opened the parade with a i a j ifj. J a -id-yai u gain aruunu leu enu. a . iuss.ni Faucette to Groome. netted three more as the quarter ended. When play started again. Park crashed through center for five yards, but State lost the yardage on a five-yard penalty for off-side. Pierson -circled left end. for 10 yards. Faucette made it a first down through center on the one-yard line. Wake Forest held for two rush es, and then Faucette drove off tackle for -the score. He then kept his rec ord for two seasons unbroken by kick ing goal. : Wake Forest played a much better defensive ' game than ' followers of the game had been led to suspect, after the poor showing in the. last several starts. Heckman and Fulton were the chief ground' gainers. Pierson, Fau cette and Park bore the brunt of ad vancing the ball for - the Techs. The work cf Bostian at center and the ex cellent showing of the Tech flankers, Homewood and Groome. the latter playing his first championship game, was noteworthy.

Jesse Guilford, national amateur champion, and Tom Boyd, his partner, one of the pairs that had been most favored to win the tournament, did not even finish in the money. Their total was 287 for the 72 holes. The leading pairs, the professional members of which named first in each instance received prizes ranging from $500 down and aggregating $1,175, were: V Tom Harmon, jr., Hudson River, and Peter Harmon Scottish American 135-138-273; Fred McLeod and Guy M. Shandifer, Columbia. 140-140-280; Wal- Thanksgiving Day is one whose result j Tar Heei Freshmen i nobody can reasonably forecast on the ; basis of comparative scores. The rec- ord of the season rather adds to than : dispels the confusion of opinion. Both i Carolina and Virginia have won and lost decisively and unaccountably. When the ardent Carolina follower recalls that Virginia was beaten by Georgia and West Virginia, .and beat V. M. I. much less decisively than did the Tar Heels, he is encouraged. But when he thinks of the Carolina defeat at the hands of State in Raleigh, the tie with Davidson in Winston-Salem, and the tie with South Carolina, he begins tm have his doubts about vic tory. All of which, of course, tends to make the Thanksgiving Day game a far more exciting prospect than if one team were clearly and indisputably su perior to the other. If the popular anatomical figure of speech has any thing to it at all, something like ten thousand hearts will leap up into a like number of mouths when the whis tle blows for the first kick-off next Thursday at 2 o'clock, and will remain in that threatening position for. some two hours thereafter. There are no betting odds to report, since this is a well-behaved community where gam- not flourish and, too. ev- a Carolina backer but if there were a market for wagers the offering would probably be at even money.

Practice in the last two or three dajs has been secret, but, through the wire fence surrounding the football field, the news filters that Coach Fetzer's plays are being run off with encouraging smoothness. There have been no changes in the line-up, as far as anybody here knows. It is assumed that Lowe, Johnson and Gil Ion will be in the backfield, with most probably McDonald, but possibly Pharr. as the fourth man. The seven meti in the line, from right to left, are expected to be R. Morris, Kernodle. Poindexter, Blount, Pritchard, Jacobi and' Cochran. Chapel Hill is looking forward to the day of the Virginia game as it never looks forward to any other day. It is an event that comes but once every two years, and has never come but once before. Students, faculty and townpeople are all atingle over it. This is true even of the soberest and most studious members of the commu nity, even thought these may preserve an external appearance - of scholastic calm. Carpentersi are busy erecting tem porary stands.
