Big Games This Week. By W. M. SHERRILL Lady Luck smiled our way Satur day and as a result we can claim nine correct guesses and one tie from the 12 grid forecasts made for the week end. This sends our average for the year somewhat higher and gives us one of the best week-ends of the football year. Some of the games were certain to go our way, we admit, but in some of the others there was a chance for most anything and we were fortunate in the fact that the teams played about true to form with no upsets in the particular contests that we choose. We were disappointed in the Wild cats but to offset this was the splen did performance of the Tar Heels at Atlanta. State played up to expec tations in Florida and Duke came out about as expected. We thought Davidson would win by a touchdown or two and Coach Young er can’t be far wrong when he says his proteges played their worst game in five years. The Wildcats showed a fine spirit in scoring the tieing touch down, but Cox should never have got ten away with those two runs. Down in Atlanta the Tar Heels gave Georgia Tech a run for the mon ey. Several times, as a matter of fact,- the North Carolina team was on the threshold of one of the greatest up sets of the year, but the punch was not there and the ball was lost sev eral times within the Tecb 15-yard line. McDowall, who is proving one of the finest players in the South this year, was the main factor in State’s defeat of Florida. The teams battled three quarters without a score and then came the plays that gave State 2 scores and Florida one. McDowall will be entitled to Southern recogni tion If he continues to show the form displayed so far this season. Duke looked good in spots and bad in spots, bqt it must be remembered that the Blue Devils were up against one of the big team* of the country. Fresh men were available for the Navy at all times and on a team like that one man is about as good as another. Forward passes, used by the Devils to keep in scoring distance at all times, proved tbeir undoing, for several of these were turned into touchdowns for tbe Navy. However, Duke prov ed in this game that it has an offen sive, and the 17 first downs indicate that DeHart is building on the old theory that the best defense is a good offense. Virginia seems destined to become one of the best teams in the South be fore the season is over. After scor ing a victory over V. M. I. last week the Cavaliers came back with a 7 to 0 victory over V. P. I. Saturday and tbe latter team appeared much the better at the opening of the season. With Carolina improving some and Virginia improving noticeably, the Thanksgiving clash at Chapel Hill may produce some real football after all. Erskine could not halt Furman’s second-string backfield, Georgia crush ed Auburn and "Washington and Lee scored 25 points against Kentucky. Notre Dame found Indiana rather easy, and Princeton showed much strength in defeating Cornell. Our predictions proved bad in two games—the Virginia-V. P. I. and the Yale-Army clashes. Yale played fine ball to defeat the Army 10 to 7 and as already stated, Virginia looked good in conquering V. P. I. Yale and Princeton apparently have two of the best teams in the east and their games this year should attract a record crowd. This week North CaroFna fans will have plenty of games. Carolina and State meet at Raleigh Saturday, Dav idson entertains V. M. I. on the same day while Duke and Wake Forest will clash on the same day at Wake For est. It will be home-coming day at both State and Davidson, and efforts to move up the Duke-Deacon game hav ing failed, it is probable that all three games will attract monster crowds. MRS, MOSS DIED SUDDENLY AT HER HOME IN CONCORD Death Occurred About Eight O’clock This Morning.— Brief Funeral Services Here at 9:15 Tomorrow. Mrs. Elizabeth Hemphill Moss, wife of E. A. Moss and one of the most popular women in Concord, died this morning about 8 o’clock at her home here. Death was due to a heart at tack. Mrs. Moss had been confined to her home for several weeks but it was not generally known .that her condi tion was critical. Relatives had planned to remove her to a hospital during the day. A brief funeral Service will be held at the home tomorrow morning at 9:15, after which the body will be taken to Morganton for interment. Mrs. Moss was 46 years of age, having been born February 13, 1881. She was a daughter of the late T. L. Hemphill and Mrs. Hemphill, and had made her home in Concord continu ously since her marriage on April 20, 1902, to Mr. Moss. She was horn and reared in Morganton, where her family is prominently known. She is survived by her mother and one sister. Dr. J. C. Rowan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, will con duct the funeral here. * Mrs. Moss was an active member of the First Church here. \ Services for the deceased at Mor ganton will be held at 2:00 P.

Pleasant Institute Eleven Outclassed by Rip-Tearing Oak Ridge Machine at Al bemarle. Oak Ridge smothered the eleven of Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute, 51 to 0, at Albemarle Saturday afternoon. Displaying a relentless offensive, Oak Ridge’s fleet backfield flashed along the white-marked field to roll up eight touchdowns. The M. P. C. I. eleven was simply outclassed, unable to meet the terrific onslaughts of Oak Ridge. Sweeping down all before them, the Oak Ridge warriors began piling up the score over the Mt. Pleasant Col legians immediately. Harry Frazier, elusive Cadet halfback, eased around the Institute flank for the first touch down. Soon after Pierce crossed the M. P. C. I. goal again. The Oak Ridge team played as one man, and the perfect interference which the Ridgers executed was the feature of the game. The line played their usual game, forcing the Collegi ans to punt practically every time they had the ball, as Oak Ridge kejt the ball practically the entire game. Coach Boetian pulled a surprise when he started Abernathy in the backfield. The fast boy from States ville, however, showed the Mt. Pleas anters a few tricks about the gentle art of football, tearing off neat gains at will. He was off on a long run for a touchdown around end one time only to be stopped by the safety man a few feet from the coveted line. An other feature of the day was the run ning of K. Whitner, third string back field man. He took the ball several times through the entire Mt. Pleasant team at will. Also the combination of Beaver to Pierce functioned as us ual. as they completed several nice passes. Mt. Pleasant also tried a passing game much to their sorrow, as they soon found out that Oak Ridge had a man named Kkstler who could intercept them very intelligently. Two touchdowns came by this route. Saturday's win marked the fifth straight win for Oak Ridge out of five starts. also ran their total score to 115 to their opponents’ seven, their goal line only being croesed once this season, and that by the strong Duke freehmen.

WALTER COOK HURT TODAY WHEN HE WAS CAUGHT BY PULLEY Painter With Fuller Con struction Company Has a Miraculous Escape From Death at Brown Mill. Hurled to the concrete floor after he had been through the harrowing experience of revolving with a pulley in which his clothing had become en tangled, Walter Cook, 35, . painter, was probably seriously hurt at the Brown Manufacturing Company at 9 o’clock this morning. Mr. Cook, who is employed with the Fuller Construction Company in the erection of the new addition to the mill, was painting at the time of the accident. Standing near the pulley his clothing was caught by the belt, Mr. Cook being carried from the floor to the pulley around which he whirled a number of times before hie cloth ing was torn from him and he was flung to the floor. The fall to the floor injured the man worse, it appears, than bis revo lutions with the pulley. In the fall Mr. Cook’s hip was injured, and per haps broken. X-ray pictures will be taken during the day at the Concord Hospital where he was rushed follow ing the mishap. The painter also suf fered severe bruises about the shoul ders, and his wrist was bruised. Death might have been lot of Mr. Cook if his clothing had not ripped freely while he was turning with the pulley, releasing him from a tragic fate that was bound to come otherwise. GEORGE TROUTMAN DIED EARLY TODAY AT MT. PLEASANT Blacksmith and Former Po liceman of Little Town Near Here Claimed by Death Suddenly. Stricken suddenly while in the gar age of Jim Smith at Mt. Pleasant this morning, George Troutman, aged 45, died at 6:45 o’clock, bringing tidings of great sorrow to his scores of friends and relatives in hie native community and county. Mr. Troutman was en route to open for the day his business, a blacksmith and repair shop, stopping at Smith’s garage, when he was seized by death. A physician was summoned immediate ly but was help eee to restore life to the beloved man. For many years Mr. Troutman, the village blacksmith, had been a fa miliar figure in Mt. Pleasant. He had not only been the blacksmith in the little hamrlet but had also served as a policeman. He was the village officer some years ago. Mr. Trodt man was held in high esteem by his countless friends, and his untimely death ushers sorrow into the Mt. • 'Pleasant section. The deceased leaves a wife and sev eral children.

County Agent R. D. Goodman, J. H. Hobby and H. J. Goodman, all of Cabarrus; and O. EL Phillips, agricul ture agent of Stanly county, returned Sunday from Memphis, Tenn., where during the past week they attended the National Dairy Show and the Memphis Tri-State Fair. Agent Goodman described the dairy show as a decided success, and of great beneficial value to cattle rais ers. Mr. Goodman said he watched the judging of all of the cattle, in cluding Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, Ashyre and Brown-Swies. The cham pion Holstein cow exhibited at the show gives an average of 41 quarts of milk daily, he stated. R. L. Shuford, of Newton, Catawba county, entered his prize Jersey cow in the show. The cow bears the name of Red Lady an<f is Dixie s champion. This entry spoke outstand ingly for North Carolina and its rap idly increasing interest in raising pure strains of cattle. Mr. Goodman declared that the ex hibits at the Tri-State Fair were splen did and representative of the farm crops, including legumes and horticul tural products. Mr. Goodman and the three other men in the party made the trip to Memphis without incident. They trav elled by auto from Concord to their destination in good time, leaving here e#irly on Sunday morning and reach ing Nashville in the afternoon where they stopped for the night. On Mon day the trip to Memphis was complet ed. Including the distance both ways, some 1,480 miles, they only had one flat tire, and had to “back-track”only a half mile. Seven county agents, besides Mr. Goodman, attended the dairy show and fair from the Piedmont district of North Carolina. They include: O. H. Phillips, Stanly; Kope Elias, Mecklenburg; T. J. W.
