FURMAN BEATS DUKE; STATE HAS EASY WIN Furman Secured 13 to 7 Victory While State Was Getting 3® to 0 Win. Durham, Sept. 23.—Two well coach ► ed and hard fighting football aggrega tions met on Hanes field here this af ternoon when the Purple Hurricane blowing out of Greenville, S. C., and the Duke Blue Devils clashed. Rawl, the plucky iiuarterback for Furman', played the important roles -in Fur man’s 13 to 7 triumph. The game was a beautifully played affair, much better than is usually expected on the opening day of the season. Both elevens were battling hard, and but for a blocked punt which resulted in a touchdown for Furman, the score should have been 7 to 6 with Duke leading. Duke led in gaining from passes and with a final up had amassed 10 first downs to the visi tors’ five. * DeHart’s cohorts gained 161 yards on 15 forward passes com pleting 15 out of 30. Furman gained X 6 yards from six forward passes and they perfectly worked the longest aeri al thrust with a 27 yard gain. Perry at right guard for Furman, was responsible for the initial coun ter. Duke had been forced back to their 25 yard line by a long punt from Davis, and with Bluie attempting to boot the pigskin. Perry smashed his way through the line and blocked the punt and before it had even dropped to the ground he snagged it and raced over Duke’s line unmolested for a touchdown. Rawl’s remarkable run in the third neriod after he had caught a punt featured the game. After a beautiful catch he was forced back five yards and then he darted to the side lines and 50 yards down. He carried the ball over on a pass from Blunt. Duke’s smashing drive for 73 yards down the field netted them their mark er. They received the ball on a punt and during the drive they got passes completed that netted 41 yards. Jankoski’s plunging also featured this drive add the game's gaining From the 10-yard line on two plays he bent the center of the line for the touchdown. State Wins? Raleigh, Sept. 23.—Consistent line plays, coupled with flash of sprints, off tackle, combined to give North Carolina State College an easily won victory over Elon College here today in the season’s opening encounter. The score was 39 to 0. , V Jack McDowall, State half, ran back a kick-off in the fourth period 75 varde to the 18 yard line and on the next play McDowall passed to Good win for a touchdown. Span Adams, State quarter, followed later in the same period with tn intercepted pass which he took 85 yards for the sixth touchdown with Jordan furnishing brilliant interference. State exhibited an advantage in ex perience and weight, hammering the lighter Christian line for steady gains. Aerial work proved little advantage, although an occasional pass netted short gains. The Christians were weaker in all departments and failed to offer stiff resistance. Woman’s Club Banquet.

Leonard Long, 18, suffered painful bruises about his legs about 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when the truck on which he was riding with Buford Goodman, collided with another truck at the intersection of West Depot and Crowell streets. The fact that Mr. Long leaped from the truck at the time of the collision probably saved both of his legs from being broken. It seems that he was riding on the running board on the side which the other vehicle jammed. Neither drivers were hurt. Neither driver was hurt. Mr • Long is resting as well as could be expected at his home on Kerr street. He is yet unable to walk. SAYS HE’S "THROUGH OF" MARRIED STATE Lexington Man Leaves Wife and Two Children and Takes Three. Lexington, Sept. 23.—“1 am through of married life,” wrote Conway W. Wilson, Erlanger husband and father of five young children to his wife a few days ago as an abrupt termina tion of the domestic relationship. “You can sell all the house things and go home to your pa’s,” he advised her in the letter said to have been sent to the wife by one of,the children. Wilson took three of the children, a boy and two girls, away with him in his automobile, so Mrs. Wilson informed Sheriff Fred C. Sink, who yesterday forwarded to Governor Mc- Lean a request, for extradition from South Carolina, where he was placed under arrest. About the ony reason assigned for Wilson’s hasty departure, the sheriff was informed, is that con tained in the statement opening the letter that “I am going to get out of the Smith family.” There had been no family quarrel, so Mrs. Wilson is quoted as telling the sheriff. She had dressed the children at Wilson’s re quest so that he might take them up-town as he is alleged to have represented and after he had gone to the community garage some distance from the home he sent one of the children home with the letter. The wife and mother is left with a baby three weeks old, and a daugh ter ten years old. She is quoted as informing the sheriff that she has no source of income whatever and the household goods even were entailed. Her father is said to be an aged retired Baptist minister now living with some of his children. This case is regarded by the officers as one of the most pathetic of the large number of abandonment cases that have come to their attention dur ing the past year or so. CHARLOTTE ROOMING HOUSE IS BURNED Spectacular Blaze Near Heart of Business Section Sends Hotel Guests To Streets. Charlotte, Sept. 23.—Officially de clared under control twice, only to flame anew each time, a stubborn fire early tonight required the city’s entire fire fighting personnel to prevent its spread, routed several score occupants of a rooming house and did damage estimated at many thousands of dol lars. The rooming house, formerly a hotel, was gutted while damage running into thousands of dollars was wrought on nearby stores and an eating establish ment. The fire on South Tryon street, half a square from the heart of the city, was described by Fire Chief Hendrix Palmer as easily the most spectacular of the last year. Fanned by a breeze when first dis covered Chief Palmer said that had not the wind died down an entire city block likely would have been destroy ed. , * Brown’s restaurant, beneath the destroyed rooming house and slightly to the left, at first was declared of ficially in flames, but this later proved to be the mirrowed reflection of shoot ing flames seen in the eating place from the street. Scores of .diners ran pell mell to the street and guests of two other hotels in the block likewise fled pre cipitously from-their rooms. No official estimate of the damage could be obtained tonight. The American Farm Bureau fed eration will be asked to come into North Carolina to help the farmers get state-wide and national recogni- PERSONALS. H. J.
