Badly Hurt. ...
Returning
Skid Into
Dunavant
Bud Eskew, Jack Dunavant,
Ty Reid, and John Daniel, Uni
versity students, were 'injured
Sunday night when the ear in
which they were riding slipped
off the road, skidded back across
it and smashed into a telephone
post near Salisbury. Dunavant
owned the car and was driving
at the time of the accident. y
All four of the injured men
are football players. Eskew was
holding down a varsity guard,
and Dunavant, Reid, and Daniel,
all sophomores, were trying for
line positions. Dunavant seems
to be the most seriously injured.
According to reports, he sus
tained a broken collar bonea
concussion of the brain, and
bruises. Reid had seventeen
stitches taken in his scalp and
suffered bruises on his leg, mak
ing it impossible for him to walk
for some time.
Eskew suffered a cut in his
head which, necessitated five
stitches. Daniel was slightly in
jured. The four others were in
the front seat of the little road
ster, due to the rain and were
necessarily crowded.
Harold Jarrett, another stu
dent in the University, who came
along immediately ( after the ac
cident occurred, carried Duna
vant, Reid, and Daniel to Salis
bury, where medical treatment
was procured. He brought Reid
and Daniel to Chapel Hill. Duna
vant is still in the hospital at
Salisbury and Reid is in the in
firmary here under the care of
Dr. Abernathy. Reid should be
able to get up in a few days,
. while Daniel and Eskew are able
to get about now. The cutsdn
the heads of the boys were evi
dently sustained from the side
windshields, as the front one' is
guaranteed not to throw glass
from any break.
The boys were returning from
a short week-end spent in Char
lotte, and were in a hurry to get
back in time for their classes.
According to Reid, it may have
been that Dunavant fell asleep,
or that he lost control of the
car when it lurched back on, tfye
wet pavement from the shoulder.
The car was completely demol
ished. I

Catalogue for Fall
Issue.
With especial interest on The
North Carolina Series, books
about the negro, and a social
study series, the University of
North Carolina Press Associa
tion has prepared its catalogue
for the fall.
Following the usual procedure
the board of governors of the
association has selected ten
books, all of which are to appear
at early dates. It has been the
practice of this board to have
the submitted manuscripts read
by scholars of this and other
schools who are experts in their
particular fields. The board
bases its final decision upon the
the report of the readers.
It is unusual and interesting to
note'the various localities from
which the books and their
authors come. While a number
of them' are North Carolinians
by birth or adoption, it is found
that several of the writers hail
from other southern states, and
a few from the northern and
eastern colleges.
