THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
LITTLE EXCITEMENT OVER
TODAY’S FOOEALL GAMES
riteic-lMiuth Carolina Contes! Hobis
Center of Stage With Duke-Caro
lina Game Stroud.
Today's football matches will cause
little or no excitmeat among North
Carolina football fans. There are
no game* over which to run a teiu
|»erature. Persons who have been
bpsy running hither aud you to view
all-important clashes duriug the j>ast
two Saturdays may taka l a much de
served rest at home reading a sweet
book by Eleanor Porter or Harold
Beil Wright.
Not that this rest is not needed.
First there came the Baptist-Carolina
tilt with, it was said, a decision as to
the state champiouship right there in
the very beginning of the season.
Then followed t'dat all unnerving and
violently exciting meet wherein the
Davidson Wildcats worked ou tft»
Deacons, dcamoniess for the day, aud
tied the score, winning, as the pa
llet's cleverly put it, » moral yietory.
The latter game put on the finish
ing touches to fans and many of them
all over the state have been cop lined
to their beds in their respective homes
during the past week, either high
blood pressure due to a too great joy
bringing about their illness ore else
an acute attack of melancholia being
resjiousibie for their bad turn.
This week, however, the followers
of t’he world's greatest game will
watch the State-South Carolina melee
with greater interest than they will
any of the ortifrr contests. The rea
son for this is that State is still ati
unknown qhantity with great possi
bilities.' Several of her men are look
ing like real football players and
there is a (’nance that after some
years of puny elevens, this institu
tion is again returning to pristine
glory.
If Stato can beat South Carolina,
then she will beat the Cniversitv in
the fair week grume, it is *ai<l. The
only trouble lies in that “if* and
State won't heat /South Carolina. Al
though she has some brilliant play
ers in tin* hack field, tier |eam is not
sufficiently balanced to win from tlie
more experienced Gamecocks.
Dowell looks like the coming player
in this state, but lie'will not be able
to pull State through.
The vCarolina-Duke number holds
second place in interest. Carolina
should win and will do so. H nothing
goes amiss. Coach Herron's eleven
should be showing considerable im
provement. however, and so should
Carolina. It is barely possible that
Carolina will not win by as large a
score as did State last week. Coach
Herron, by the way. has been try
ing out something new in these parts
when lie had his squad refrain from
scrimmage the entire week.
| Lenoir-Khyne and Wake Forest,
■play in a game which should result
|iu a victory for the Baptists. It is
to say. Jiowcver. that they will
I if£t win by* Ss large u score as did
William and Mary in the Lutherans'
first contest. Lenoir has some good
i men on her team, men that Wake
Forest must watch.
' Davidson and Guilford will be of
j little interest, with Davidson having
lan easy time of it. If is not likely
tiiat CoaCii Younger will yun his en
| tire first string tlie greater part of
| the game. Still. Coach Younger's
second string is quite as good as his
first. He certainly has' some likely
substitutes.
ROBBERS CARRY OFF BIG
LOT OF GOODS IN NIGHT
Sfore of Cochrane and Brown at tlie
Roberta Mill Suffers Big Loss From
Work of Robbers.
Goods valued at S7OO were carried
from tlie store of Cochrane and Brown,
at the Roberta Mill near here, during
the night. Sheriff Caldwell was ad
vised this morning. Officers are work
ing on the case but they have few
clues to follow.
Between 20 and 24 Diamond tires.
Ford size, were taken, along with a
case of inner tubes to match, it was
reported, and other stolen goods in
clude:
Ten thousand Camel cigarettes.
Between 15 and 20 boxen of Brown
Mule and Kite chewing tobacco.
A number of pocket knives.
Several pairs of Deter brand shoes
for men.
Case of socks.
Zeb Cochrane, one of the owners
of the store, states that the robbers
probably got other stuff, the goods
named above having been cased.
Entrance to the store was made
through a front window, it was re
port ed. The robbers evidently opened
the hack door and drove a truck to
the rear of tin* store, as tlie goods
could not have been moved in any,
other fashion.
Owners of the store have offerrd a
reward of SIOO for Pie arrest aud
conviction of the robbers.
