PAGE TWO Stebbins Is Power In Pitt's Great Backfield Pittsburgh, Nov. 21.—Number one football players of the country. That is just about the way the mates of Harold “Curly” Stebbins consider the big Pitt right half who finishes the best of three fine seasons at Durham this Saturday against Duke Univer sity. When Pitt turns the power on for the last time this year in an effort to blast the Duke Blue Devils from the rung immediately above the Panthers in National rating, Mr. Stebbins is counted upon to furnish a lot of fuel. At least he has thus far in all of Pitt's wins. It will be Stebbins going into the right side of the line when the Panth ers go out for big yardage, it will be Stebbins doing most of the passing when the Panthers take to the air, it will be Stebbins blocking ahead of Dick Cassiano when the Pitt march attempts to swing to the right. •Stebbins started at Pitt as Bobby Laßue’s replacement. Playing behind Laßrue who frequently played almost an entire game he was good enough> to pick up 347 yards from rushing, Aerial Battle Looms As Cavalier Contest Nears Chapel Hill, Nov. 21. —Chances are that the aerials will be flying high, wide and handsome over Scott Sta dium Thanksgiving when Carolina and Virginia renew their ancient foot ball wars. For the Tar Heels and Cavaliers both have passing records that prob ably will stack up with the best in the country. Virginia’s passes have netted nearly 700 yards in eight games with most of the tosses by Harry Dinwiddie, senior passing star from Charlottesville; Jim Gillette, veteran left-hander from Courtland, Va., and Jim Beveridge, fleet sophomore from Pottsville, Pa., who has held a regular backfield oosi tion from the start.

Last fall he. stepped into the regu ! lar right half spot, pairing wtih Mar i shall Goldberg. He gained 505 yards ■ i rushing, added 172 yards from other I ways of carrying the ball, and crossed ■, the goal line three tipnes. | To date his record tops that of the entire team. He has piled up 581 yards rushing, and 290 from returned kicks and passes, scoring two touch -1 downs in so doing. All of which gives him a three year I record of 1436 yards from rushing. 574 yards on return kicks and passes, and ’! nine touchdowns scoped. These fig , ures are complete up to Penn State game of last week. But this ball-carrying record, fine as it is, Is little compared to his rat ing with Coach Jock Sutherland as a blocker. Jock rates him the best blocking halfback he has had >r. his 20 years of coaching college football. Which means that the Duke left , tackles have a job on their hands next Saturday. and George Radman, passing and run ning halfback marvel, have given Carolina its most impressive record for pass completions in recent years. The trio has made good on aeriais 41 percent of the time. The exact record shows 42 bulls-eye hits in 103 attempts for a total gain of 103 yards. Virginia is expected to be at top strength for the Tar Heels. Walter i§mith, most elusive back on the Cavalier squad, has recovered from an injury which kept him out of the Harvard contest eight days ago. Smith is scheduled for a starting position with Beveridge, Gillette and Harry McClaugherty, blocking back. Carolina will start a versatile and hard-running backfield composed of Stirnweiss, quarter; Co-Captain Wat son and George Radman, halfbacks, and Jack Kraynick, fullback. And, too, besides these drawing pow ers there’ll be more than the usual amount of thrilling moments in one game, for the spectators. The gridiron feud the Wild cats and Deacons is one of ancient existence —even older than the one be tween the Yokums and the Scraggs. It is a very “pekoolyar’’ feud, too, because just when one or the other seems to have the stage set right for a “kill,” something spectacular inter venes to save the day for the victim. Coach Gene McEver of Davidson and Coach Peahead Walker of Wake Forest are a pair of sly and clever coaches. Both have workel hard with their charges, preparing for their annual battle, and have not overlook ed the smallest detail. They haven’t left a thing undone that might pos sibly turn the victory tide their way. But the worst part of it all is, they have no idea what part of their plan nings will be blasted into smithercenp. Yes, there will be action and plenty of it Charlotte when the ’Cats Deacons mix it up. Wake Forest' will show eight sophomores and three lettermen against David son’s nine lettermen and two sophs. But the difference in experience will tend only to cause both clubs to throw caution to the y/ind. The Deacons will be gambling for a victory over the;veteran \7lldcat eleven, while the Cats will feel their margin in experi ence will alley/ them to safely resort to a looser brand of play against such a green team as Wake Forest. ZEB VANCE WHIPS TOWNSVILLE, 16-13 Zeb Vance turned in a 16 to 13 vic tory over Townsville boys Friday r.ight, with Asa Kittrell scoring nine points, and James Kittrell coming in for second honors for the winners with five tallies. Brown, Riggan and Breedlove rounded out the starters for Zeb Vance. Samford led the Townsville attack with six points. Zeb Vance will meet Dabney Tues; day. 1899—The death of Vice President Garret A.

Guard The University of North Carolina’3 outstanding guard candidate for All- j Southern honors is Jim Woodson, of Salisbury, whose performances have stood out in all the Tar Heels’ major games. Woodson, a junior, turned in his best exhibition of the season in the tie with Fordham nine Grits and Gravel ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ By T. MOSES JONES This is Saturday morning, and again I sat in the court house all day yesterday. And after having beer, called in the jury box and rejected for three consecutive days, X actually was called yesterday and allowed to set or sit (anyway, I sat) op a case. Ii was a boot-leg case, my very first time of being on the jury. I have'* twice sat on a coroner’s jury and once, on a jury to decide about the mental •ability of an old man, and two men were appointed to keep folks from beating him out of what little he had left of this world’s goods, as his mind was hardly that of a child. And then in the afternoon I sat on another case, one upon which the jury unanimously and immediately decided all the same. And was I gla<J when His Honor, The Judge, -excused us all! I suppose you folks over there in Vance may have come to the conclu sion that all Granville county folks do is to eat, eat, eat. The Dennis G. Krummitt Rebekah Lodge No. 150 had a brunswick stew supper last night on Lhe middle floor of our Odd Fellows’ Duilding. A U-shaped table was fixed which comfortably seated folks. After having been cooked for the whole day, the big pot of stew was brought up about 6:15 and the supper served at 6:30. From twenty to twenty five dollars were cleared, to be put into the treasury. I can’t say whether or not it will be used for the Thanks giving or Christmas -for the Home at Goldsboro, or what; but 1 io know that the supper was really good, and that our lodge appreciates che pice attendance to the supper by che public. Jimmie Hornbuckle, Jjr., is grow ing to be a big boy now. He is hav ing to get a bit out of the lime-light jr foot-lights, or whatever you may jail it, as his little sister, Laura Alice, is demanding much of their parents' and .their great-great-aunt’s attention. Little Laura Alice has started coming to town wrapped in a little baby-blue olanket with a peakidy cap to match, wrapped up almost like a little pa poose. Although it was a small mistake in away, but large in another way, it was called to my attention that I re cently spelled St. Steven’s church the wrong way. It should have been St. Stephen, instead. I stand corrected. I never expect to reach the degree of perfection, but have always hoped that my mistakes would be as few and as small as possible. And here is a card I received Thurs day morning after it was all too late, which I most regretably regretted: “Wednesday. Dear T. Moses: We are having our corn shucking today, papa went to Oxford yester day and didn’t see you. So thumb a, ride out here this evening and I will take you back. ' Leslie Blackwell.” It truly almost broke my heart wherj. I found out what I had missed, bu& it was just one of those things which just happen and cannot be prevented. The reason Leslie’s daddy missed see jng me Tuesday was that I was up at court. . , . . One of the jury had bad luck. It was announced in court that he had lost his pocketbook containing more than twenty dollars. solicitor said several times, “There isn’t one scin tilla of evidence —” and I have in tended looking up that word, it sounds ljke it has some large, deep meaning. Tom Montague, one of tpe jiiry, brought me a pocket full of home raised pecans which Mrs. Jones and myself greatly enjoyed, and he also invited us out to his home some Sun day. Hope we can go. I like them so.' day. n. P M OSES JONES. days ago. Woodson, Co-Captain Steve Maronic and Paul Severin repeatedly broke through 'to throw the Ram backs for losses. Several New fork Sports writers said the left side of the Tar Heel line composed of these three players was the strongest to play in the Polo Grounds this season. Woodson also blocked the punt that led directly to Carolina’s winning touchdown in the Virginia Tech game.

Origin And Meaning Os The State’s Attributes Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. • Raleigh, Noy. 21,— as an appendix to his biennial report, energetic Sec retary of State Thad Eure presented a collection of data about the State— its name, flower, toast, seal, etc.— which should be of real interest to citizens-at-large and of particular value to youngsters who haven’t oth erwise had an opportunity to learn these things.
