Thursday,-October .31, 1929 THE DAILY TAXI HEEL fc W A . A W V governor iardaer io Pace Football; Dilemm turd a I? a "net Fans Speculate Whether He Will Root For Tar Heels Or Wolf pack When Teams Clash. Governor 0." Max Gardner finds himself in a football dilem ma this week. . .. North Carolina and N. C. State are to hold their 22nd grid meeting in Kenan stadium Sat urday afternoon. Now it happens that Max is an alumnus and a former foot ball star of - both institutions. Both have strings on this prom inent son. The Governor will once more be torn between two loyalties. Will he support the Tar Heels or the Wolf pack? That is indeed a dilemma, for it -i l ri j i tne uaronna-torate rivalry is just about as old as football at the two institutions and as in tense as such rivalry might be expected' to be. , ? The state's first citizen 'will! undoubtedly be in great demand as a rooter and moral supporter. Max went to State first and starred at guard and tackle, on the old "A. and M." elevens for several seasons, winding up as captain. C Max was graduated from State in the spring of 1905 and entered -: the University Law school that fall. ; He could not resist the call of the gridiron and soon was per forming wonders for the Tar Heels. Players, be it understood, could do those- things in the "good old days." The files of the Tar Heel carry " extracts from a speech which the former , State college captain made at a Tar Heel pep meeting that season. i' - Gardner told the students that he was at the University to study law first and not solely to play football, but he also told them that he' had played his time out for State and would be giving everything he had to win for Carolina. , ;.. y The Tar Heels beat Davidson, Georgetown, V. M. I. and Vir ginia that season, but lost to such strong teams as Pennsyl vania, Navy and V. P. I. The annual, Carolina-State e-ame was a 0 to 0 tie. Governor - Gardner played much that sea ' son, but the line-up listed' in the Tar Heel for that day shows that he did not play against his old teammates. It was the last game between the two rivals until af ter the World War, as relations were severed for a period of 14 years. V And now Wolf and Tar Heel clash again in an old football . feud. Which side will the Gov ernor root for? ' LEADS Picked Up Here and There by Will Yarborough MOLMA IN TEAM mm Tar Heels Top Big Five Elevens; Individual Honors Go To Wil liams Of Elon. BUCKEYES WERE OVERCON FIDENT, W1LLAMAN SAYS Columbus, O., "We were sur rounded by the wrong atmosphere all week, but, under the existing- con ditions, the team did its best," was all Coach Sam Wfllaman said today regarding the 0-0 tie which his Buck eyes fought with Indiana on the grid iron here Saturday. "The players did not fight as hard as they should have, even though they thought they did," Vvillaman said. "We'll be ready for Pittsburgh, though, and we all know it will be a tough game." In our first column we men tioned very briefly that the Carolina coacnes ieared over confidence ; among the football players here as a result of the somewhat large margin of vic tory over V. P. I. We also said that in. view of the fact that V. P. I: evidently was not play ing the same type of football it played against Penn, that Caro lina was clicking, and that the Tar Heels were out to win, there was no room for overcon fidence now. A review of last year's game with State shows what overcon fidence did to Carolina A team, easily three touchdowns better, barely managed to tie State. State is even weaker now, or rather the second team which is reputed to have played most of the game against Michigan State, is weaker. Carolina on the other 1 hand is stronger. Nothing should prevent a vic tory. : This year's scores show that Carolina is much stronger. The records of past years show that State, especially since Gus Tebell became head coach, never respected the strength of Caro lina greatly. Carolina may trot a "hundred backs" on the field, but State would not be awed. They would merely be inspired to greater football. ,: . What's become of some of the stars of several years , back is often asked. The "leads" of several professional football stories accounts for three of them. VARSITY SHOWS POWER AGAINST : FRESHT.IAN TEAT, Lufty Breaks; Ankle An x-ray examination of the leg of Nap Lufty, captain of the 1928 baseball team, whjo injured the member late Tuesday after noon on the intramural field, made Wednesday; disclosed that the right ankle was broken. Lufty and a group of friends were passing and kicking a foot ball between them when he stepped into a hole on the side of the field, twisting his ankle. Trainer Chuck Quinlan was called and ordered the leg ban daged up. , . The first baseman will be forced to hobble along with the aid of crutches for another week and will not be able to at tend fall practice. He has one more year with the . Carolina baseball team - Track Notice "Stapleton, with Ken Strong and six' other former New "JTork Univer sity stars in its lineTup, - went down to a 3 to 0 defeat in a bitterly, fought National Football League game at Stapleton, S. I., yesterday before a crowd of 10,000. "Red Grange, movie actor and once a famous gridiron 'performer, return ed to his. role of cavorting about a football field yesterday afternoon at Wrigley field where the , Chicago Bears humbled the Minneapolis Red Jackets in a National Professional Ipnp-ne came. 27 to 0. The noted Red Head threw his hips through the op position, tossed passes, leaped into the air to snag 'em, squirmed -and romped all over the field while his mates were stopping Herb Joestmg former Minnesota star, and full back for the Red Jackets." " . . . Packers won, 7 to 6, Er nie Nevers' place kick for the extra poin after touchdown- going wide." But the newspapers no longer carry bold, black streamers tell ing of their exploits.. Although in a Monday paper the accounts were given the same amount of publicity a North Carolina paper gives norse racing, aiuic Alton still held the top lines. A lot of glory is left behind when an athlete stops playing tor "dear old alma mater," or what ever the Carnegie Survey Re port designates the power which causes a player to play inspired football. Leadership in team scoring this fall is held by the Tar Heels who are almost without competi tion among the members of the Big Five. Neither State, Duke, Wake Forest nor, Davidson has been able to present a strong scoring combination. Second placeln team totals goes to Elon with a total of only 92 points as compared to the 159 run up by Carolina. Wake Forest holds third place with less than half the number of touchdowns scored by the Collins machine. Duke and State have been unable to score with any consistency. The Blue Devils have pushed across only eight touchdowns and State three. Individual scoring honors in the. North Carolina circles go to Pete Williams of Elon who has five touchdowns and five ex tra points to his credit. He holds his position however only be cause he has added more extra points than Magner and Ward of the Tar Heels. Each of these has scored five touchdowns but lacks the extra points. Magner has two to run his total up to 32 and cinch the second position. Spaulding and Branch of Caro lina are also among the leading scorers. Sam Buie leads the Duke team with fifteen points. McCall and King lead the David son outfit with two touchdowns each. State's three scores - are scattered between tnat many players. Thad ' Brock, Davidson cap tain, leads in extra point mak ing, having kicked seven out of eight attempts. In their 25 attempts to add the point after touchdown the Tar Heels have failed 16 and succeeded in nine, one of those coming as the result of the op posing team's being off-side on the play. , - T-EP Carolina ,.:...!.:.........:..: .:..25 9 Elon ..: . 14 , 8 Wake Forest :..i ,..:.:....12 Guilford ............ . .11 Davidson 8 Duke . .'. 8 Catawba 3 xState 3 Lenoir-Rhyne ... ..... 13 xHigh Point ......... 2 Backs Look Good In Scrimmage Against Yearlings; Injured Veterans Back In Uniform. Taking advantage of leaden skies ' and a heavy field, Coach Chuck Collins Wednesday or dered long scrimmage sessions for every able member of the squad. Opposition for the var sity teams was furnished by two freshman combinations. Running behind the first string line, Johnny Branch, Strud Nash and Rip Slusser cut loose for long runs, scoring sev eral times. Another backfield proved jus as effective against the Tar Baby opposition. Jimmy Maus, Strud Nash, Pete Wyrick and Yank Spaulding composed the second quartet. Bud Eskew and Bill Koenig, injured guard1 and tackle, re spectively, worked today. The pair, however, were not back at their old positions with the first string line, being replaced by Ellis Fysal and George Thomp son. In all probability Coach Collins intends starting his re serves in these positions to spare the veterans for another week A session at dummy practice against the Wolf pack plays con eluded" the afternoon workout.
