Greensboro Loses High SchodI
Football Championship Game
To Wilmington by 6 to 7 Score
Contest Played on Soggy Field ft
Before Small Crowd of En
thusiastic Supporters.
Burnette, Bremer, and Brittain
Play Stellar Game for Win
ners; Fumbles Costly to Both
Teams; Weather Conditions
Slow up Contest.
New Hanover High School, of Wil
mington, became state high school I
football champions Saturday for the
first time by defeating Greensboro
7-6 in Kenan Memorial Stadium. The
game was played under trying condi
tions. The field was soaked from
several days' rain, and in addition to
the very cold weather, a continuous
drizzle, intermingled with flurries of
snow and sleet, aided a driving wind
in making the occasioji miserable for
players and. spectators alike. Num
erous fumbles were made on both
sides.
Wilmington received the first
kick-off .well in their territory, and
began a succession of first downs that
did not cease until they had crossed
their opponents' goal line, apparent
ly finding but little to stop them.
The Greensboro man, running the
kick back, dropped it when tackled,
and Wilmington recovered . The Wild
Cats started again down the field, and
were halted just a foot from the goal,
the ball going over on downs. Greens
boro kicked out of danger, and their
goal line was not again seriously
threatened.
Greensboro Scores
Greensboro made its score, the first
made against Wilmington this season,
more by luck than their own- prowess".
Taking the ball in the second quarter
not iar irom tneir ena ,01 xne neia,
they failed 'to make first down, and
kicked. Wilmington fumbled and the
Greensboro boys recovered. After
several downs they again kicked, and
again recovered the ball after it was
fumbled, thus getting it within a few
yards of the goal. These two breaks

Davant plunged through for the
touchdown. Cook failed to get the
extra point, dropping a bad pass from
center, and thereby was lost the game.
Greensboro appeared to have been
wakened during the intermission, for
in the second half, they gave Wil-
mington a, hard fight for the game
cVin navino- almost tnfl
superiority that the easterners had
shown in the preceding periods. More
than once, they carried the ball right

it go over on downs or because of

Cornell Discovers
Calf Liver Cure for
Pernicious Anemia
Discovery Is Greatest Contribution to
Medical Science in Recent Years.
Durham, December 5. Of the
greatest importance to the medical
world is the discovery by Beaumont
S, Cornell, fellow of Duke Uhiveisity,
that by eating one-half pound of calf
liver a day the disease of Pernicious
Anemia can be cured. A book on the
subject has been prepared by Mr.
Cornell, and it is now with the Duke
Press for publication. '
Following the death of J. B. Duke,
the officials of Duke University be
came intensely interested in the erad
ication of the disease which had
been directly responsible for 1 he
death of Mr. Duke. As a consequence
of this interest Beaumont S. Cornell,
M. D., M. R. C. S., L. R. C. P., (Eng)
was appointed a. fellow by the uni
versity to search out a xure for the"
disease. " .
Up to this time Pernicious Anemia
has proved fatal to those .afflicted.
The remedy as proposed by Dr. Cor
nell seems quite simple. Transfusions
f blood, drugs, and other methods of
cure had been employed, but to no
Purpose. Had Mr. Duke known of
the cure for his affliction before his
death he would probably have given
a great portion of his fortune to this
savior of lives. This discovery has
cost Duke university thousands of
dollars, but it represents one of the
Neatest contributions made to med-
lcl discoveries in the past fifty years
Already orders are being received
y the press for the book by Dr
Cornell, and much praise is being giv
en his work by the medical journals

Two Carolina Teams Play
Against Former Heel Stars
in Practice Game.
The Tar Heels opened' their 1928
basketball season with a 40-5 victory
over Cart Carmichael's "All Stars"
from Durham in the Tin Can Satur
day night. Although (Jarmichaei, a
former Carolina star, has playing
with him Billy Devin and Spratt
Cobb, who, when playing here, were
regarded as three of the best players
in the South, they were noticeably
hampered by lack of training and
practice.
There seemed to be no dearth of
material for Carolina. Two complete
teams were used in the game, and not
so .much difference was discernible
between them. r
The Tar Heels seemed to have an
excellent defense , worked out, espe-
ciauy near their goal, ine visitors
&ot one field, goal. 'However, the num
Uer of crip shots missed by Carolina
was uncomfortably large.
Carolina Leads at Half
The score at the end of the first
half was 22-3. "Red" Price, who did
nt begin in the game had the high-
est number of . points. Nine were
recorded to" his; credit. Others were
not far behind. The playing of Har
per, discus hurer and shot putter of
the track team, was quite a surprise
He was the tallest man on the floor,
and a good jumper." 'At center, he
had no trouble in getting the tip-off
evry time. This is his first attempt
at the game, but he shows promise of
causing great inconvenience to all
who try to jump center with him or
guard him.
Bill Dodderer, who was famous in
basketball before any of his team
mates were known to the public, will
likely come before '.the eye of the
South again. , ;
Captain "Pinky" Morris was all
over the floor breaking up the visitors'
offense. He is out to (he' All-Southern
guard again. The' playing of all who
took part tends to show that another
great year lies ahead. ,
The team beginning for Carolina
was composed of Hackney and Price,
forwards; Purser, center; Morris and
Vanstory, guards. This team was re
placed towards the end of each half by
Gurganus and Dodderer, guards; Har
per, Center; Cathey and Satterfield,
forwards. ' "
For the All-Stars, Carmichael and
O'Neil were forwards; Cobb, center;
Brown and Devin, guards. Bock took
Carmichael's place, who later substi
tuted for O'Neil. ,
Miss Boudreau Hurt
Run Down by Car on Franklin Street
Saturday Night.
Miss Carmela Boudreau of East
Rosemary street, who was run down
Saturday night on Franklin street
near Strowd's garage by a car driven
by K. B. Burgess of Pittsboro, was r&r I
ported as recovering m Watts Hos
pital in Durham.
Just how the accident occurred is
not very clear. Miss Boudreau, who
is employed in. Diab's clothing store,
was hurried to the infirmary here, and
then carried to the Durham hospital.
Physicians there say her skull barely
missed being fractured, but her in
juries are not considered serious.

ers Friday and Saturday nights, De
cember 9th and 10th, will., bring to
the campus some real old-time vaude
ville. "Ten Nights" is a rip-roaring
drama of the fifties, and the acts in
the piece and during the intermis

A recent revival of interest in the
time-honored sentimental songs of our
mother's and grandmother's day, her
alded by John Held, Jr., in his car
toons and woodcuts and Frank Shay
in his book of songs of the bar-room

luctant King Autumn
I The 01d Man of the North had
thrown out his vanguards early m
the . week, when a sudden drop in
temperature brought to a close a pro
longed spell of pleasant fall weather,
which marked the latest fall in the
memory of the ancient journalistic
standby, the "oldest inhabitant." King
Autumn had withdrawn his hosts-of
pleasant breezes befofe the onslaught
of a cold, steady drizzle that fell m
termittently through Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Finally the last
vestige of the forces of Autumn re
treated from the scene when Winter
came blustering out of, the North a
little after midnight Sunday morning
and blew his icy breath upon the ther
ometers, forcing the mercury down
LU uereeb
The first act of King Winter was
to spread a mantle of crystal ice par
ticles over the cround, covering the
landscape with a coat of pure white.
When' the vfirst early risers, of whom
there were very few, looked out of
their windows Sunday morning a
scene of somber beauty was depicted
before them. The campus and the
town had taken on the atmosphere of
serenity and peace that they never
have except when snow or sleet is
covering the ground.
The wind lashed a stinging spray
of sleet into the faces of those who
fared forth in quest of breakfast, and
the cafes and boarding houses i re
ported a marked decline in the ruim
ber of breakfasts served. Some en
terprising member of the Sutton and
Alderman firm displayed a "Alcohol
For Cars Only" sign, and , the local
drug store reported a rushing busi
ness 1 from motorists who wished to
beware of burst radiators.
Very few pedestrians appeared on
Franklin Street during the day. ' The
business ' section of the village was
unwontedly deserted, as. most of the
students and the townspeople hugged
radiators and firesides.
The fury of the attack of the ice
and sleet battalions of King Winter's
forces abated as the morning ad
vanced, and the downfall ceased a
bout noon. Slush began to appear as
the afternoon- wore on and the tem
perature rose, and a little after night
fall a goodly, percentage of the two
inch coat Of ice had melted away from
the ground. Winter's forces fell back
still farther, as the night ; advanced
and it was comparatively warm by
sun-up yesterday morning.

Wilmington and Greensboro
Have Two Men Each on Sec-
ond Selection; ; Writer Finds
Nine butstanding Teams in
North Carolina.
By Luther Byrd
King Football is dead! He died
here last Saturday amidst all the rain
and mud and cold that attended the
final battle for the North Carolina
high school championship, a contest
that featured the Purple Hurricane
of Greensboro High School from the
west and the Wildcats of New Han
over High of Wilmington from the
east.
Each of these teams brought the
title of their- respective sections of
the state, and Wilmington emerged
with safe possession of North Caro
lina's high school crown a crown
won over one of the finest fields of
competition seen in recent years. Al
together the 1927 season has brought
to light its fair quota of fine teams
and a large number of individual
stars.
From those individual stars that
twinkled in constellations both large
and small, I present here my Third -Annual
All-North Carolina High
School Eleven. .Criticisms are due
and no more than expected, for they
are the lot of all audacious writers
who break out annually with their
all-star picks. ' However, in the face
of all criticism, I name these eleven
men the cream : of the state's high
school football players.
Following a. policy that I outlined
and began three years ago, I have re
nounced the old idea of selecting only
men from the two final teams. Rath
er I have tried to see as many high
school elevens as possible in action,
and when I could not see a team play
I have gone to particular trouble to
investigate thoroughly the merits of
the star players on those unseen ag
gregations. (Continued on page four)
HEELS WIN CROSS
COUNTRYCROWN
N STATE MEET
Harriers Easily Win Despite
Fact That Some Regulars
Were Out With Injuries.
The Carolina cross country team
with a score of 23 points added an- .
other to a long list of victories when
the state championship was won by
them Saturday morning at State Col
lege. But, for the first time in quite
a number of such events, the first
man to come in was not one who
wore a blue Carolina insignia. Tuttle,
of Duke, came in ahead of all others,
but before any of his team mates
could follow four Tar Heels were a
cross the finish line clinching another
state title. Duke's score was 51, and
State's was 52. . '
Elliott and Pritchard, who finished
their cross country season with that
race, were, second and third. Coxe
and Barkley, whose careers are not
finished, were the next two in suc
cession. The weather there was just about
the same as it was here Saturday,
and the course, laid over a dirt road,
was in a condition not very conducive
to new records. The time for the 3.8
mile route was 22 minutes, 53.5 sec
onds. Three men who participated in the
Southern Conference meet-here were
not in the race Saturday because of
injuries, and their places were taken
by men who were running for the first
time. Coach Dale Ransom, largely
responsible for the success in such
contests, expressed satisfaction -at the
outcome, taking into consideration the
unfavorable conditions. - Wrenn and
Parlier, taking part in their first' run,
performed well and came in ahead of
men who had much more experience
in cross-country running. .
The order of finish was Tuttle,
Duke; Elliott, C; Pritchard, C; Bark
ley, C; Coxe, C; Doxy, D.; Redfern,
S.; Brimley, S.; Wrenn, C; Ford, S.;
Parlier, C; Owens, D.; Alexander's.;
