Page Eight THE TAR HEEL' Thursday, November 24, 1927 o I ,4 fj) TP If 1: OH A An All-State Selection Is ' : : Offered by 'Tar Heel; on ; v I)ate of Seasdn9s Close State College Lands Six on Myth - ical Teams, Carolina and Duke Five Each. CAROLINA LINE HAS FOUR Captain Morehead, Schwartz, Farris, Sapp and Young Are Tar Heels Picked by Reporter All on First Team. (By Mutt Evans) Thanksgiving Day marks the cul mination of the 1927 football season as far as the North Carolina teams are concerned, and with this ringing down of the final curtain, All-Star teams begin to put in their appearance. And thus on the very day on which the season ends, the Tar Heel offers, its intercollegiate All-State pick. Splendid football players are un usually plentiful this year, and it is with some difficulty that the writer is able finally to select twenty-two men who are worthy of places on the Tar Heel mythical All-State eleven. State College, undisputed state champions, landed six men on the two teams, and in this respect led the other colleges in the state. Carolina and Duke were next with five men each. Davidson had four and Wake Forest two. The number of men placed on the aggre gations by the respective colleges might serve as a guide to the com parative rating of the various teams, though of course, Wake Forest, b.y virtue of her surprising defeat of Car olina early in the season should be ranked ahead of Davidson. McDowall and Schwartz Criticism will be forthcoming, no doubt, because the writer has seen fit to place five Tar Heels on the .first eleven. Four of the five are in the line and bear out the general opinion of Southern sport critics that the Tar Heel line is one of the strongest in the South. At no time during the year did it succumb to opposing backs. State, in spite of the fact that it trounced Carolina, did not boast of many individual line stars and ad mittedly built all their strength a round McDowall. Duke's main strength lay in its backfield stars, and it was largely the triumph of the Carolina line over the Duke line that enabled the Tar Heels to defeat the Blue Devils. North Carolina was fortunate this year in possessing two individuals who stand head and shoulders above 'he mob of stars. Their names rank high not only in state football circles, but also over all the' South, and both are assured places on many all-Southern elevens. These, two men are Harry Schwartz of Carolina and Jack Mc Dowall of N. C. State. Not in years has the state been able to offer two athletes who can compare with this All-State Half 'j r Y A . .

When the North Carolina Tar Heels battle the Virginia Cavaliers in the game dedicating the immense new Kenan' Memorial Stadium this after noon, they will add "another chapter to a long series of desperate grid iron conflicts between the two, which constitutes one of the most colorful and romantic football rivalries in the athletic history of the country.. .Soon after the opening whistle the supposedly weaker Carolina ball" car riers took' the ball, and by " a series of hiking 'and tackle plays carried it to the five yard line.

The Carolina and Virginia football teams that battle in Kenan Memorial Stadium this afternoon at 2 o'clock have each had a rather checkered sea son. They have each been on the ups and downs of the gridiron all season, first rising to the heights and then losing to some inferior team, at least to a team rated infer ior prior to their meeting. The Tar Heels who carry the Blue and Wliite into action today will car ry, with them a record of three wins against six losses, while the Cava liers have won five games ,and drop ped three. In that manner the bal ances of fortune seem , to lean the Old Dominion way, but, when we' read the scores of their mutual opponents the edge is not so : pronounced. Georgia Beats Virginia A glance at their schedules for the seasdn shows that the - two teams have met the same teams in iour instances this year, .fcach ot them has met Maryland, Tennessee, South Carolina and V. M.- I. Each of them won from Maryland, and each of them lost to 'the. Volunteers, and the Gamecocks. But Virginia won from the "Flying Cadets." Carolina met Wake Forest in the first game of the season and drop ped her fourth straight, game to the North State Baptists. The score was 9 to 8, with the margin of victory hanging on a place kick that Captain Garrett . Morehead missed after Billy FerreU's touchdown. On that same Saturday Virginia was licking Hamp-den-Sidney 38 to 6. On the following Saturday, Octo ber 1, both the Tar Heels and Cava liers iook on tartars in Tennessee and Georgia. The Volunteers from K.nox ville swamped the Tar Heels 2G to 0 here, although the Heels broke even on first downs and-territory-gained from scrimmage. The Cavaliers could not cope with the Georgia Bulldogs and lost their game 32 to 0. Dopes ters agreed after that exhibition that the annual Turkey Day classic mihv be a clash of weaklings, but they have since changed their op'nion. Cavaliers Whip V. P. I.
