PAGE TWO Tar Heels Will Face The Most Powerful Virginia Team In Recent Years By TOM BOST, JR. Chapel H ill, Nov. 21. The; strongest Virginia «.eam n recent} years invades Chapel Nil! Thanks- , giving Day to meet North Carolina’s 1 most colorful and exciting eleven m i a decade in a renewal of the South’s ! o>ciest continuous ootbail rivalry. To many of the Carolina alumni a season isn’t regarded successful unless Virginia is beaten m the an nual Turkey Day classic. A victory ov-er the Cavaliers would give the . Tar Heels one of the best records i in University football History. Since .he colorful Virginia-Caro- j lina series was inaugurated back in 1892, the neighboring state univer sities have met 43 times on the gridiron with the Cavaliers winning 21, the Tar Heels 19 and three games ending in ties. Virginia has i tallied just 19 more than Carolina, j 528 to 519. and holds the distinction j of being one of only two Southern : universities which hold the edge | over Carolina in number of vie- j lories. j The current edition at Virginia | has lost only three games and two j of these by a margin of three points j or less. And one of these setbacks i was a 12-14 decision to Navy when the Cavaliers battled the heavily fa vored Middies on even terms throughout the game. Another loss was a heart-breaking 13-6 verdict Deacons Get Down T o W ork For Wildcats ! __ i Wake Forest, Nov. 21.—After, resting most of last week and Mon-j day of this week, the Deacons of j Wake Forest got down to serious j work this afternoon preparing for , j their encounter with Davidson’s j“ Wildcats in Charlotte. Thanksgiving j (Nov. 30). Coach Peahead Walker has said he does not intend to give his boys j another easy moment before this | final tilt of the year. He's doing this because the Deacons will be fa- j" vored to take the Wildcats in tow, j< and there’s no telling what may re- j suit in a Deacon-’Cat Turkey Day J; classic, especially so this year with , the Davidson club posse- sing two j fine passers in Granny Sharpe and j Date Spencer. It’s no secret that Wake Forest has been notably weak against most any semblance of a passing attack , this year. Davidson has a fine aer ial offense, there’s no doubt about this. Against Duke, Sharpe and Spencer tossed heave after heave until it netted a touchdown. The Deacons are supposed to have a strong running game, but could not score on Duke. North Carolina’s aerial attack did not come close to scoring on Duke. If the ’Cats can do that to the Blue Devils, what will they do to Wake Forest’s glaring weakness? Then, too, ever since this Wake Forest-Davidson series began back in 1908, there have been many oc- ! casions when one club or the other ! rose to great inspirational heights, i even against seeming overwhelming odds. For instance, in 1937 the Dea cons were conceded hardly any chance at all to upset the powerful Wildcats, quarterbacked by the flashy Tennv Lafferty. But it’s history now how the Deacons, playing over their heads, swept aside the Davidson defense and pounded out a 19-7 victory. Go back to the 1936 tilt when Wake Forest was lead by the great passer, Walton Kitchin. Practically every one thought the Deacons would make a route of that setto, but it was Davidson instead of Wake For est who did the routing—Wake was beaten by two touchdowns. Now with Davidson being placed in the underdog’s role, there’s no doubt but that the Wildcats will be keyed to the highest possible pitch. They will be out to win, and if they can hit their mark with a few of those bullet like passes, who knows what will happen. state th- shrdlu shrdlu shrdlu shs There is no more serious danger to a state than “the absence of high aspirations.” NOTICE OF SALE?

Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Nov. 21. —Well, it’s all over for another year, with most people at least, although Jimmy Massenburg, Industrial Commission secretary, insists he’ll hear the ..hud of that football against Tony Ruffa’s chest every night for .he next twelve months. It did round like the crack of doom, at that. Most pleasant thing to record is that not even the most ardent Caro lina rooter seems to have any lin gering resentment or desire to be little Duke’s victory —something that could not be said after the 1935 debacle, when there were mut tered '.marges (never really brought into the open) of dirty work at the cross roads, or at least in the best screened scrimmages. Most unpleasant commentary on the whole Duke-Carolina day set up was the utter inadequacy of the big Duke stadium’s sanitary and comfort facilities. There can be no valid excuse "or this inadequacy, which was just as evident when Duke met Pitt last year and to cor i ect which exactly nothing at all seems to have been done. Ladies were forced to stand in lines reaching a hundred yards or more from the rest rooms and in many cases simply had to take to the bushes. Wouldn’t it be possible to spend just a small percentage of the more than SIOO,OOO gate re ceipts to correct this. Max Abernethy, aide to Secre tary of State Thad Eure, :s now “31ocked Kick” Abernethy to his friends. One of the most loyal of Carolina rooters, Max is a born pessimist and long before last Sat urday gloomily opined that “Wade will block a kick on us.” This corner agrees with Tom Bost, however, in believing that big Tony Ruffa had more to do with that than did even the “Wizard” Wallace Wade, upon whom it has become customary to bestow all the laurels won by Duke’s great football teams. Your correspondent sat beside Rowan’s “Pete” Murphy, dean of North Carolina legislators, at the big game Saturday. “Pete” had a fme time for the whole first half, but in the second his suffering was so obvious and intense enough to elicit your correspondent’s deepest sympathy. Incidentally, Mr. Murphy con firmed reports that he has been be sieged with requests that he run for secretary of state. He did not intimate what he intends to do about the matter, but quite pointed ly left the door open for any kind of decision : : n the future. Director of Purchase and Con tract J. Benton Stacy gives perhaps the best explanation of Carolina’s failure to beat Duke, not only this season but over quite a stretch: “You just,can’t hunt bears with air rifles”, he says. ,i So Duke will be Big Five and HENDERSON, (N.

Above, he carries the ball for a seven-yard gain and on ' of the Indians’ nine first downs. Cornell gained 327 yards rushing and made 20 first downs. Southern Conference Champion again this season? Perhaps, even probably, but just as a tip to ihe .u'wary; don’t bet too much against State nor spot the Wolfpack too many points come this Saturday. They’ve tasted blood and are on the prowl. BILLIARD ARTIST TO APPEAR TONIGHT Thomas Hueston, former cham pion and holder of the title six dif ferent times, will appear at Recrea tion Billiard Parlor tonight at 10 o’clock in an exhibition match, S. W. Knott, manager, stated today. The last time Hueston played for the championship, he defeated Erwin Rudolph for the title of the world by a score of 450 to 366. , He then retired undefeated for a few years, and is now back playing as good as ever. Besieds a colorful player, he demonstrates a grand exhibition of fancy and trick shots. The public is cordially invited to witness the exhibition.

Western Carolina Game Conditions Show Improvement Raleigh, Nov. 21.—Now that the threat of forest fires has been abated by recent rains in the West, sports men and the game division of the Department of Conservation and De velopment are vastly better satisfied with the game situation in the sunset section of the State. There has been tremendous im provement in the last decade, of ficials say, and conditions are de veloping favorably toward making the area a real sportsmen’s paradise. Rapid absorption of land into the game refuge system, cooperation with Federal wildlife management agen cies and other measures vital to the propagation and protection of game has increased the stock ol some species more than 500 percent in ihe past decade. Key points in conservation plans are seven State and Federal coop erative wild life management areas embracing a total of 219,000 acres, and the Pisgah National Game Pre serve of 05.0U0 acres. Future supply will also be materially influenced by the 428,000-acre Great Smoky Moun tains National Park, also a perma nent refuge lor wild life of all kinds. Extending in a chain across the mountain region, the eight game re fuges have been stocked with deer and are the home Wf many black bear and for increasing stocks of wild tur keys, ruffed grouse, and Russian wild boar. With years of protection, the number of bear and deer has increas ed to a point where hunters may find good shooting in xlie forested areas surrounding the game refuges where game has overflowed from the protected areas. Dare County Has 84 Farms In All, And 1,164 Acres Manteo, Nov. 21. —Dare county, noted for its fishing, beaches, and pageantry, has 84 farms comprising 1,164.3 acres of crop land, according to figures announced today by C. W. Overman, county farm agent of the State College Extension Ser \ ice. What’s more, Overman reported, the farmers of .this little county have increased their use of soil building practices several hundred percent since they began participat ing in the agricultural conservation program in 1937. The first year they carried out soil-building prac tices on 141.7 acres; in 1938 on 251.9 acres; and in 1939 on 287.8 acres. Overman pointed out that 25 of the 84 farms in the county com prising 372.7 acres of crop land, were not in cultivation this year. Forty-one of the other 59 farms participated in the Agricultural Conservation urogram in 1939. Twenty-four of the 11 farmers ex ceeded their soil-building goals this year; that is, they did more work in planting legumes, etc., than they were paid for through the Federal program. * Seeding of winter legumes has been the major soil-improvement work carried on by ihe Dare coun ty farmers, Overman stated. In TULANE GIANT - -r, .~iry>* r ■ " ;! A I - A -mM lH W \ I * I /Im A *,iC. 1929 only eight farmers seeded 29.2 acres of winter legumes, but in 1938 the number was increased to 13 farmers, who planted 31.6 acres; j and in 1939 a total of 14 farmers ! seeded 83.2 acres of winter legumes | and eight acres of annual rye grass. ! “We are very much encouraged by the splendid cooperation shown by farmers and farm women in \ carrying out a program of self-suf ficiency,” the Extension agent de clared. STRIP CROPPING IS GOOD IN DAVIDSON I College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 31. : —Strip-cropping is more trouble I than running the entire field in one crop, but- the elimination of washing between terraces and silding of the terrace channels more than offsets ; tne extra work, says E. R. Everhart, i of Davison county, in a report re ceived here today by W. D. Lee, c oil conservationist of the State Col lege Extension Service. Mr. Ever hart’s farm near Lexington is in the erosion control demonstration area of the Soil Conservation Service. Lee said that the Davidson coun ty farmer is carrying out a three year rotation by alternate strips of row crops and grain, followed by lespedeza, on 64 acres of cultivated land. The most effective method of ! strip-cropping, he has found, is to j plant strips of close-growing crops ! astride the terrace, rather than in 1 the terrace interval. —■■■■ 11 i THIS WHISKEY IS 4 YEARS OLD 5165 jhai I“'* i/QUAittp ■■ j ; 7? /li full P,NT FULL QUART * CH.n qiL m.
