Thursday, October 10, 1929 jrLumia .VYriterSvIiimli i -Vf ill Turn Tables : All Say That Heels Have Power Enough to Score Victory over Tech Team; Jackets Also Have Strength. The two niajor games coming off down in Georgia this week end are causing a landslide of comment from the Southern sports writers, and especially from those of the Atlanta Consti tution. Of the two the Tech Heel game is holding the South ern spotlight, while the Yale Georgia mixup is attracting inter-sectional attention. That Yale will have a rather easy time with the Georgia Bulldogs ' is a generally conceeded point, so consequently the brunt of the speculation is aimed against the Tornado-Tar Heel struggle. Herb Clark in a recent article expressed the f ollowing opinion : " "The Jackets will not win the battle with the Tar , Heels. At least, the same team, which took the Aggie scalp will not win from the Tar Heels. "The Jackets showed numerous bad spots in their play. The pass defense was - probably the most noticable from the stands. The Aggies passed 11 times. Eight of these attempts were completed and were made to ac count for 90 yards. Eight for 11 is an almost perfect average. TP x' kji. ixic uciciioi v c team 11 id iai from that. -". "Unless this phase of the Jacket game improves mightily the Tar Heels are going to count often. In the Maryland game Saturday they scored three touchdowns in five' minutes, and passes were responsible for each of the tallies. A weak pass de fense, facing this type of tossing would mean that the Tar Heels j;ouid do air the forcing. And -it would mean that the Jackets would be in the w. k. tough spot. "To cite other factors: the Jackets failed on several oc casions to give their own passer ir j j.; i X. r , for success at - the air game. "The Jacket line has not be come unif fed. The charges Saturday were powerful at times and at times a lack of precision in the rush, left openings for flank movements on the part of the Aggie linemen. ' "The blocking was also . up-and-down. On about half the plays the Jackets set sail with grim intent and cut the Aggies down. The rest of the time they were about as. effective as a nail file on an oak. "A good part of the faulty play was .due to the fact that the mninritv of the .. nlavers were making their debuts. They were carrying the full weight of the national championship reputa tion on their shoulders. Friday, with their baptism a thing of the past and with the increased poise and knowledge that the Aggie fray should have given them, they can be expect ed to be more aggressive and to s handle themselves better." John Staton, also of the Con stitution, and former Tech All Southern end, made certain re marks about the Tornado squad as it emerered from the game with the Mississippi Aggies that have rather close connection with the coming game: "Power, not wholly harnessed, that is the impression the Yel low Jackets left with those who came to see them defeat the Mis sissippi Aggies, 27-13. "It took power of the driving, smashing kind to rack up .five successive first downs for a touchdown. "And yet, in the last quarter everyone wras amazed to see that same Tech aggregation stand by while the Aggies passed their way to a touchdown. On this march the Aggies carried the ball exactly 80 yards, and com pleted six passes without a mis- -eel s n rornado Intramural Notice All Intramural football games between fraternities which were scheduled for Friday, October 11, have been postponed indefinitely on ac count of the Gforgia Tech game in Atlanta. Dormitories wishing to postpone their games on that day are re quested to make application for same to Mac Gray at the stadium. BILL BYRD, END, LOST TO VIRGINIA VARSITY University, Virginia, Oct. 9. (Special) Bill Byrd, veteran end, will be lost to the Virginia team for at least a month as a result of a shoulder dislocation sustained in the victory over South Carolina at Columbia. Virginia was put m a posi tion to score during the first quarter of the Carolina game when Byrd took a pass from Sloan to the seven-yard line. But he was downed by Eddie Zobel so that he twisted his left shoulder in the fall. Byrd comes from Baltimore. He played at Peddie before en tering Virginia. During his freshman year he played center, but in his first varsity season he' was shifted to the wing where he has twice won his "V." He is a nephew of the Virginia governor and of the explorer. hap, not to mention the nice runs of Pappenheimer, the individual star of the game." "Tech used an excellent : de fense to stop the running attack of this formation, but failed mis erably to break ' up the many passes which Pappenheimer threw with accuracy and effect. "One of the most interesting points in the entire play was the mobility of the Tech defense. There was a time when a de fensive set was rigidly adhered to, regardless. But Saturday Tech varied its defense to suit the varying conditions. With the exception of the forward pass work, the defense was ex cellent." "Tech used only its standard set and a simple punt formation, relying on power and precision for its drives and accuracy and timing for its passes." "While the Tech interference as a rule was ragged, there were times when it .functioned with amazing smoothness. This was especially true of the short bucks. Many, times Mizell would pass the line of scrim mage behind a perfect wall formed by interf erers. In this connection it should be men tioned that Dunlap did a par ticularly fine piece of interfer ing in the open field. Many times he cut the end out in front of Thomason, who was return ing a punt, or for Mizell start ed on a wide end run. "Perhaps the. most pleasing aspect from a Tech standpoint was the manner in which substi tutions could be made without visibly weakening tjie team. , It has been the thought ' of many that Tech would have a powerful first eleven with few able re serves. Tech played two full teams, and there was little differ ence between them. "After Saturday's perform ance there can be no doubt that Tech possesses a team laden with possibilities,- a team capable of extraordinary development, a team perchance that could be de veloped into a conference win ner. But withal, that team, to be really great, must show, week by week, the results of that de velopment." ' Crime costs the U. S. about $10,000,000,000 annually. DAILY "Shorty" ' jj , "Stumpy" If t Georgia Tech has her "Stumpy" Thomason, then North Carolina has her "Shorty" Branch. And now almost on the eve of the South's most im portant game The Tar Heel re fuses to budge an inch under the pressure of the praise that has come up from the south in fav or of Thomason. Friday's game will have as a side feature the settlement of more than one little personal matter. , TAR HEELS MEET V. P. 1. HARRIERS Varsity and Freshmen Have Tough Schedule This Year; Many Men Working. "t The first dual meet for both varsity and freshman cross country teams will be held at Blacksburg, Va., Friday, October 18, with the V. P. I. harriers as the opposition, according to an announcement made yester day afternoon by Coach Dale Ranson. Following the V. P. I. meet, there will be another con test for both of the University teams November 2, at Chapel Hill, with North Carolina State college serving as the opposition. The varsity and freshman teams will next meet Duke at Chapel Hill on Friday, November 8. The two weeks after this meet will be spent in preparation for the Southern Conference cham pionship meet which is to be held in Chapel Hill this year on Sat urday, November 23. Coach Ranson also announced that negotiations are pending for a state championship meet for varsity and freshman teams. An open road race in which both collegiate and amateur, harriers will be permitted to participate is also being planned. Coach Ranson, although not underestimating the strength of the teams to be met before the conference meet, is training his men with the idea of capturing the conference title for the fourth consecutive time. Caro lina teams have won the South ern Conference championship meets for the past three years. In 1926 the title was captured at Athens, Ga. ; in 1927 at Chap el Hill; and last year' at Atlanta, Ga. In the meet at Atlanta two years ago the local team scored 17 points out of a possible low score of 15 points. Galen El liott of Carolina led the pick of the south in this meet. Last year Young of Georgia, who will be back again this year, led the field. Among the large number of candidates from which Coach Ranson hopes to pick a cham pionship team are , six letter men, Barkley (captain), Bau- com, Lowry, Wrenn, G. M. Co hen and Medf ord. Other candi dates are Simpson, J. J. Cohen, Brown, Rhodes, Phoenix, Farris, Pierce, Purser and Anderson. The freshman candidates are Jensen, Jones, Zelly, Cox, Lon don, Lumpkin and a number of other, capable men. On Wednesday, October 9, approximately 850 students were boarding at Swain hall. TAIt HEEL In There is no getting around the fact that "Stumpy" Thoma son is a wonderful player; just now few people are trying to deny that fact. Last fall he made a pretty deep impression down in Kenan Stadium, and few Carolina men have found it easy to forget him. Thomason is a wellrounded player and is one of the most dangerous threats m the Tornado back field. MANY CANDIDATES DOING MAT WORK Fall Work In Wrestling Going Ahead Under Supervision Of Peyton Abbott. v Fall work for the wrestling squad has drawn a large follow ing. With one of the best teams in the south last year prospects indicate an even better team this year. Peyton Abbott, former captain of the Carolina team and j undefeated wrestler, is conduct ing classes every afternoon from 4 to 6 in the Tin Can. Assist ing him is Wayne Woodward, captain of last year's team." Abbott is very optimistic over this year's prospects and pre dicts a team that will hold its own with any team in the south. Last year Carolina lost to Duke and V. M. I. by slight margins, and this year, with a generous number of good reserves and promising men from last year's freshman squad, Coach Quinlan is pointing for an undefeated season. From last year's varsity squad are Captain Woodward, Fergu son, Moore, Saunders, Stallings, Cooper, Albright, Zealie and Thompson.' Last year's fresh men will be represented by Ed wards', Spell, Kushner and Alli son. New men out for the squad who have been showing -some promise are Carmichael, Conk lin, Pearlstine, Taylor, Bell, Beecham and Young. A good sized group of fresh men have . given indications of developing into some valuable wrestlers. They will be coached by Peyton Abbott. As usual, men in the heavier weights are scarce for both freshman and varsity squads, and anyone in terested in wrestling is request ed to see Peyton Abbott or Wayne Woodward in the Tin Can any week day in the after noon. Fall work is primarily to give the men experience. ' Tryouts will be held just after the Christ mas vacation and those who have been out all fall will have the additional advantage of being in excellent physical condition. The schedule for meets will be about the same this year as last with the addition of the Navy at Annapolis. This marks the opening of intersectional compe tition for both the wrestling and boxing teams. The new meet promises to be one of the big lights in the wrestling season. Two years ago Duke defeated the Navy and this year , the Tar Heels with a clever looking pre season team will attempt to re peat the same trick. v It is the hope of many south ern coaches" to hold a Southern Conference tournament this year. With the usual mix-up at the end of the season it is very difficult vto decide on the champions. Heels Plan Georgia Invasion ' For Carolina-Tornado Contest Special Train To Carry Support ers To 'Atlanta; 62 Piece Band Will Head -Student Parade. North Carolina is planning a big invasion of Georgia on the occasion of Friday's North Carolina-Georgia Tech game in At lanta. Tar Heel followers who have seen the big Blue and White Legion trample Wake Forest and Maryland, 48-0 and 43-0, say North Carolina has the greatest chance since 1922 to topple the mighty Tech and maybe win conference honors. And Tar Heel followers are planning to be present en masse if there is a toppling. Special trains are to be run from every center in the state. Extra v low rates have been se cured, to take the Tar Heels to both the North Carolina-Georgia Tech and Yale-Georgia games. The humble and the notable are making reservations to indicate that there will 'be a record and colorful Tar Heel invasion. The Tar Heels' fine 62-piece band, headed by Director T. Smith McCorkle and Drum Major E. L. Smith, uniformed in blue and white, will lead the student parade. They will ride the special train which is to leave Chapel Hill Thursday night, and which is expected to carry sev eral hundred students. The Tar Heel band will play for both the Carolina-Tech game J)orit Experiment .

(Special) Virginia is joining with five other southern teams in playing intersectional con tests on Saturday. The Cava liers will entertain Swathmore on Lambeth field. Georgia's dedication game with Yale will be the only other intersectional affair played in Dixie. Two other Old Dominion teams go north. Virginia Poly technic Institute plays Pennsyl vania in Philadelphia and Hamp-den-Sidney again goes to Ithaca to meet Cornell. VanderbuTs trip to Minnesota and Davidson's invasion of West Point will give grid critics added opportunities to make comparisons of strength across sectional lines. on Friday and the Georgia-Yale game in Athens Saturday. With the Tar Heels mowing dowTi all opposition and the Tor nado blowing furiously another season, the game promises to be one of the South's outstanding grid affairs and one of the most colorful events on the South's autumn calendar. The big home-coming game for the University will be played here Saturday week, October 19, when the Tar Heels will meet the Georgia Bulldogs here in Kenan stadium.
