WRESTLING MAY
HAVE BIG YEAR
Large Squad Out, But Only
Two Lettermen Prospects
Good, Says Coach.,
lhe varsity wrestling season is
officially opened, Coach Quinlan an
nounced yesterday. A squad of ap
proximately 35 men is meeting him
every afternoon from 3 to 5 in the
Tin Can, and more material is ex
pected to report. Prospects are de
clared to be especially good this year,
and the team's record of holding the
state championship for the past two
years is expected to be equalled.
Only two lettermen of the previous
seasons are back, in training this
year Voige Gardner, captain of this
year's group, and Gene Thompson,
star of a year ago. New equipment
will be furnished all those reporting
for practice. Motsinger, brilliant
wrestler of last year's varsity,- is as
sisting Coach Quinlan to round the
teams into shape for the coming con
tests. Places are open in all classes.
Regulars Missed
Among the wrestlers already work
ing in the Tin Can, Moore and Betts,
both sophomores, look good in the
119 pound class, while Holderness,
from last year's freshman squad,
Winstead and Wagoner will have a
lively struggle in the 129 pound
weight. Wood, captain of the fresh
man team of two years ago, and an
outstanding wrestler, will bid for a
place in 149, while Abbot is also dis
playing ; quite a bit of skill in this
class. Worthington and Rowe will
probably work out for the light-heavy
class. It is not definitely known, as
yet who will try out in the unlimited
weight. .
Ad Warren, Mot Motsinger, Taylor,
Uzzell, and Leary are missing from
last year's team. Their plcaes will be
hard to fill, but Coach Quinlan has
hopes of developing grapplers for
these positions who will capably fill
the places left vacant.
The Varsity schedule as announced
by Coach Quinlan includes matches
with Davidson, Duke, State, V. M. I.,
Viryinia, and Washington and Lee.
The Freshman schedule includes two
meets with State, one here and one
at State, and two with Dukq. A
match with V. M. I. is pending.

Southern Champions Enter State Meet
5 t
The University cross-country team journeys over to vRaleigh today for the last lap in its highly
successful season. They go to enter the state titular event being run on Riddick Field at State College
this morning at 11 o'clock, and enter with a confidence of success tinged with caution. As holders
of the southern title, they have been picked to win, but are not taking any chances of losing today's
meet. They go in the best of condition. . -

Greensboro - Wilmington
In Clash for State Title
High School Championship at
Stake on Kenan Field
This Afternoon. .
BOTH IN FINE CONDITION
The Gate City of the South and
North Carolina's City by the Sea have
been agog this week while their high
school football teams made prepara
tions for their encounter in Kenan
Memorial Stadium here this after
noon. This fourteenth annual state
championship grid battle brings two
new teams into conflict, but it prom
ises to begone of the features of all
time in the titular struggles.
Greensboro High's "Purple Hurri
cane" brings with it the football
crown of western North Carolina in
its first invasion of Chapel Hill since
1919. That fall eight years ago a
Gate City eleven came down to meet
a Chapel Hill outfit that included such
stars as George Sparrow, Jack Mer
ritt, Herman Mclver and others who
have since worn Carolina colors on
intercollegiate gridirons. That day
saw Greensboro fall under an ava
lanche of touchdowns by a margin of
more than seventy points. Today may
be different.
Both Have Fine Records
However, the result will be the same
if the "Wildcats" of New Hanovei
High of Wilmington have their way
about the matter. All this week
Coach Bob Black has been priming
his lads for their first state cham
pionship battle. Wilmington has con
sistently gone far in the state con
tests, but they have never before
reached the finals.
Last year the Wildcats reached the
eastern finals only to fall 6 to 0 be
fore Sanf ord's State Champions.
That marks the only defeat suffered
by the seaside outfit over two sea
sons of play. This time they hope to
keep their escutcheon untarnished,
and to do that they must defeat
Greensboro today.
Each team won its final sectional
tilts handily. Greensboro overwhelm
ed a strong Ashe ville eleven 20 to 6
last Saturday to take the western
title, while Wilmington won by a lone
touchdown and 6 to 0 score over Ra
leigh's Whirlwind. t
Both outfits entered those two
games on even tosses to win or lose,
and of the two games the western
finals created the more surprise. It
was not so much an upset that Greens
boro won, but they were not expected
to win in such easy fashion.

An interesting example of the
manner in which , a .new stadium
advertises a University was made
yesterday r'when Gus Thomas, ,
proprietor of the Owl Shop, gave
a Tar Heel reporter a clipping
from a nationally known Greek
newspaper, with a photograph of
"The new Kenan Stadium at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill," and an insert pic
ture of Mr. Kenan. ;
This newspaper is published in
New York and is the leading

ROCKY MOUNT ALUMNI
HOSTS TO GLEE CLUB
The University Glee Club was the
guest of the Alumni Association of

evening. Over 75 alumni of the Uni
versity attended the meeting at which
Frank Graham was the principa
speaker. The Rocky Mount club also
had its election of officers for 1928.

Football Schedule
i,
Expected to Show Changes;
Official Card Not Complete
Season Will Last After Thanksgiving, Is Report; Georgia Tech,
Harvard and Virginia Games Are Assured, But Several
Others in Doubt; V. P. I May Be Added.
. ' o - .
It now seems likely that there will
be several shifts in the University
of North Carolina's football schedule
for the 1928 season. Although no
definite announcements have been
made regarding the completed card,
it is known here that a number of
changes are contemplated.
'Charles T. Woollen, Graduate Man-
ager of Athletics, announced recent
ly that the Tar Heels would meet
Harvard at Cambridge, Mass., on
October 13 next year, and that will
necessitate a change in other dates.
The Old Liners of Maryland were
met here on that week-end this sea
son, and it is known that the Univer
sity, authorities wish to retain Mary
land on the list. However, they will
have to be met on another date.
Conflicting Schedules
, There are a number of games that
have become fixtures on Carolina's
schedules ? in years gone by, and the
Tar Heels will be reluctant' to drop
any of those annual battles. There
as been difficulty in arranging dates
with both Tennessee arid V.M.I, due
to conflicting schedules, and it may
be that neither will be played next
season. Rumor has it -that in case
suitable dates cannot be arranged
with either of these v teams, V.P.I.

As a fitting climax to a so far
successful 'season the Carolina hill-
and-dale men will enter the State
Championship cross country run to
be held on Riddick Field in Raleigh

the N. C. State-Michigan State foot

very impressive record m tne pre
vious meets held this season, having
overwhelmingly defeated both Duke
and State and won their second suc
cessive Southern Conference crown
in the meet held here Saturday, No

Duke and State are expected to

Important Questions

They will take up the resolution
to have a campus constitutional

to go on record as either for or
against the practice of compan
ionate marriages.
Discussion of these two topics
is expected to wax eloquent and
it is possible that some enlight
enment on these resolutions will
be forthcoming. It is hoped by
many that some definite action
will result on the matter of call-
ing a student constitutional con
vention, while the outcome of the
companionate marriage issue is
quite problematical. Little in the
way of direct action is expected
on the latter. -

Four of Last . Year's Regulars
Return; Bill Dodderer Ready
for Other Position.
DURHAM QUINT STRONG
Tar Heels Have Been Practicing
Under Tutelage of Ashmore
and Devin; Other Y Games
Expected.
With four of last year's first
team back, and the captain of
the conference championship,
team of the preceding year in
umiorm, the Tar Heels open
their season against the Durham
Y here in the Tin Can tonight
at 8:30. Students will be ad
mitted free.
For more than. a month Coach Ash-
more, assisted by Billy Devin former
Tar Heel star, has been working
daily with a squad of about twenty-
seven men. Hackney, Price, and
i , i, t
well at forward, and Purser and
Cathey have been struggling for the
position. At guard there
wlU be a hot fiht between Dodderer,
all Southern center and captain of
the championship team of two years
ago, Morris, all,, Southern guard of
last year and present captain, and
Vanstory, who has been shifted there
from forward.
Four Men Back
Only Bunn Hackney is lost from
last year's team, and the addition of
Bill Dodderer seems to balance his
absence. While Dodderer starred as
center, he appears almost as good in
enther of the two positions, and has
been working at guard in Hackney's
old place, since Purser and Cathey
seem capable of holding the center's
job. Vanstory also has been trying
out in that place instead of forward.
Captain Morris has a tight hold on
his corner. Though Price and Satter
field were not regulars last year, they
are well to the front, and one of
them will likely start on one side as
forward with Rufus Hackney on the
other. In addition to these, there
are other second team men back from
last year, some good material from
last year's freshman squad, and a
few who are making their first at
tempt at the game this year.
On the Durham Y team, Cart Car
michael, Spratt Cobb, Sis Perry, for
mer Carolina stars, along with Eddie
Cameron a recent captain of the
Washington and Lee team, and several
good Y men, will give the Tar Heels
a fight.
There will probably be practice
games with other Y quints before the
holidays, stated W. P. Jenkins, man
ager. BOXING CHANCES
RATHER DUBIOUS
Coach Rowe Thinks Season Will
Be "Fair" Duke and Clem
son Possible Opponents.
With the opening of the 1928 box
ing season only a few weeks off Coach
Crayton Rowe is putting his charges
through strenuous daily workouts in
the Tin Can. Prospects are fair for
the coming season but riiaterial is
rather scarce, Coach Rowe told a
Tar Heel reporter Thursday. There
is an especially great demand for men
who fall in the heavy and light-heavy
weight classes.
The first meet will be held early in
January and will probably be with
Duke University. The match has not
been definitely arranged yet but Man
ager Lay stated that in all probabil
ity it would be arranged. -
Heavy Schedule
Matches follow with Georgia, Wash
ington and Lee, V. M. I., University
of Virginia, University of Florida, V.
P. I., and probably Clemson College.
With the exception of the Duke and
Clemson matches all bouts are prac
tically assured, though the exact dates
have not yet been arranged. The
Southern Intercollegiate Tournament
which will be held in March, the ex
act date and place not being known,
will close the season for the Carolina
