THE TAR HEEL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1921. INDICATIONS POINT TO SUCCESSFUL GRIDIRON SEASON AT CAROLINA (Continued From Page One.) sive heat made it necessary that the players appear for practice in track suits-: shoes being the only part of regular football equipment worn. It was impossible to hold a scrimmage on account of the dust which rose in clouds after each down. Then the water supply failed and the squad was cut down to one bath daily. Con ditions generally tended to be dis couraging, although at the present they have taken a slight turn for the better. Of late it has been possible to have the squad appear in full uni form for the afternoon practice period and to hold brief scrimmages. But about the nucleus of varsity men from last year's eleven there liave gradually evolved from mass of variously trained material four elev ens, of ever varying personnel, which lately have been engaged in run ning signals and 'brief scrimmages on Emerson field. ... Letter men of last year include Captain Lowe, Pharr, Tenney, and McDonald "in the backfield; Cochrane, Hutchins, and Shepard at end; and Jacobi, Poindexter, Pritchard, Ker nodle and Morris in the line. Also of the last year squad there are Grif fith, Edwards, Liipfert, Woodall, Linney, Whedbee and others who are bidding fair for a berth on the var sity. Besides these men there is much promising material from the last year freshman eleven in Hogan, Green, Matthew, Bostic, Gillon, Wil liamson, Sykes, Farrar, Mason and Giersh. Bill Blount, who was all South Atlantic center on Tommy Camp bell's 1919 aggregation, is back and is sure to appear somewhere in the lineup. "Red" Johnsoit, who star red at; A. and E. last year appears to have a good hold on one of the halfback positions, and Sanford Brown, who played center on the S. A. T. C. team is also back in col lege. Certainly there is no lack of good material for the 1921 eleven,, and with a fair percentage of the breaks of. the game there should be no doubt as to the ability of the Blue and White team to successfully, recoup the losses of last year and bring back the State championship to Car olina. CAROLINA ELEVEN GETS AWAY TO FLYING START BY DEFEAT ING BAPTISTS 21 TO 0. (Continued from page 1) it may not be said that the Baptist's didn't get away with substantial gains through the line and around ends, especially Heckman who pull ed off the only 'really long run of the game when, toward the end of the last quarter, he went for 40 yards through the entire Tar Heel team only to be caught from behind and downed within 10 yards of a touchdown. The chance to score, however, was lost when the ball went over on downs and Lowe punted safe ly to mid-field. Aside from this one occasion the last half was all Carolina. The sec ond touchdown came in the third quarter when Johnson, who was the principal gainer for Carolina, took the ball over after it had been brought down the field by a series of ' furious and well executed line plays. Wake Forest appeared some what weaker than during the first half, and was unable to gain save on passes which she worked for short gains almost at will. The final score came during, the fourth quarter after the sole for ward pass completed by the Tar X ' . ' I 11 . ? - -Kir.

It was carried across by Pharr after a series of rushes. Blount kicked all three goals. . Lowe was not at his best in punt ing, but managed to outdistance Heckman in this phase of the game. The line appeared weak on occa sions but always stiffened whenever the goal was threatened. Poindex ter played an especially good de fensive game, and with Prichard managed several times to break through and nip plays in the bud. Both Lowe and Johnson were re sponsible for a large percentage of Carolina's gains, Johnson and Heck man were undoubtedly the outstand ing stars of the game. ' -'i Carolina's greatest weakness ap peared in her inability to break up forward passes, Wake Forest com pleting no less than, six out of an i equal number of attempts. But gen- erally the team showed the effects of the careful coaching of the last four weeks. ' In the matter of first downs Car olina led with 16 as against Wake Forest's 12. Carolina attempted five forward passes and succeeded in completing but one. Firit Half. First Quarter Wake Forest re ceived and returned the ball to 25 yard line.

Geortf e Westmh Thirty years ago the alternating current system was but an infant, for whose life those who believed in it were 'fighting daily and nightly battles; today this same system is a giant of almost inconceivable size, so capable of defending itself that no one seeks to attack it. For 95 of the electricity that is gener ated and transmitted today is alternating" current. The story of the development of alternating current is a story of courage and vision and iaith; of misunderstanding and misrepresen tation; of engineering failures and triumphs; of commercial ability and organization. It reads like a classic romance. In its chapters ' are credit and honor for all who have deserved it, but the central figure, the man whose motives and acts furnished the basis of the plot, was George Westinghouse, the founder of the Westinghouse Industries. ' When, in ISSfl, he brought over from Europe the crude Gaulard and Gibbs system, even he, great as was his foresight, did not dream of the coining magnitude of the idea which he was fostering. The" development work -undertaken by the strong engineers whom he put to work led at first into many serious differences with, those who favored direct current. Legislatures were even impor Westtaghonse S3 ESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC . fl V if I ''!. TOBACCO CO DURHAM, N. C.

Westinghouse Current," as many extremists , described it. That the little 50 horsepower generators of those days have grown to sizes two thousand times as large; that stations of a few horse power have been succeeded by stations with a capacity of hundreds of thousands of horse power, while at the same time, distribution voltages have grown; from 1,000 to 220,000, is due largely to the vision and the courage of George Westinghouse, and to the qualities of the engineers whom he tailed, character istically, to help him.' By no means the least of the achievements of this man was Ms ability to organize the greatest aggregation of engineering intelligence ever known, men of analytical ability, consummate mathema ticians, great inventors; and to promote in this great group the most harmonious and intelligent co-operation. The same energy and courage and purpose that forced the acceptance of the air brake, the modern systems for the economic and safe distribution of natural gas, and later of the steam turbine, led and won the fight for alter nating current, which has grown to be one of the ' world's greatest and most necessary commodities. y (GiicrrTSiiP O Phone 1323
