Don Holt was also mentioned for high honors for his outstanding work on the Carolina wing. Buie, of Duke, was placed on the NEA's second eleven in a half back position, and was the only other member of a North Carolina team, except Tar Heels, that has so far been mentioned for All-Southern honors.- , Tennessee, runners up in the S.

Ward And Nash Are Good Pair Jimmy Ward and Strud ,Nash, veteran Tar Heel halfbacks, set a fast stride against Virginia last week and will be striving to repeat against Duke Saturday. Ward, a triple-threater, ran the ball 13 times for an average of 10& yards a try, scoring two touchdowns and hurling passes for two more. Nash, the Tar Heel speedking, ran the ball seven times for an average of 12.3 yards, and scored two touchdowns, one on a pass from Ward, and the other on a 50-yard canter through center. Both boys are in fine shape this week and raring to go against Duke. Ward, who is high Tar Heel scorer, will be playing his final game in a Tar Heel uniform, but the speedy Nash has one more season. Both are doped to be in the starting lineup.,, n Johnnie Branch has been chosen as second team quarter- back this year,- giving Dodd, of Tennessee, a good race for first place. He is only a sophomore and is expected to do big things during his two remaining years. CAROLINA WINNER OF MAJORITY OF GAMES WITH DUKE Team Has Not Lost To Duke Since Renewal of Grid Rivalry in 1922. Looking at the situation from one angle, Old Man Psychology will be on the side of the Tar Heels when North Carolina and Duke clash in Durham next Saturday afternoon to decide whether he Tar Heels are to hatye undisputed claim to the state football championship or whether it must be shared with Duke. - But if you take a look at things from another angle, you will seea different picture. You will see a Duke team that has everything to gain and little if anything to lose in the game this year. The Blue Devils have jusl been given a' licking that they didn't feel they deserved. They are out for revenge and they will be going after the Tar Heels with blood in their eyes. Moreover, Duke supporters feel that it is high time the Tar Heel brothers were being scalped. It is a victory they have been longing and praying for many a day. The Tar Heels have lost to the Methodists only three times in the history of football relations between the two institutions. The first defeat came in 1889 when Trinity (now Duke) won 25 to 17. The next Trinity vic tory was in 1891 by the score of '6 to 4, and the third was in 1893 by the same score. Duke has not won a game since, although there was a 26 year period from 1895 to 1922, during which Carolina and Trinity did not meet on the gridiron. . Altogether twelve games have been played, with the Tar Heels showing 9 victories. The Tar Heels have a clean slate for the seven games since relations were resumed in 1922, but four of the games have been won by one touchdown mar gins. The score last year was 14-7. - The Carolina-Duke series to date stands as. follows: 1889 (Spring) Carolina 17, Duke 25. 1889 (Fall) Game forfeited to Carolina. 5 ( 1891 Carolina 4, Duke 6 1892 Carolina 24, Duke 0 1893 Carolina 4, Duke 6 1894 Carolina 28, Duke 0 ... , 1895 to 1922, No Games 1922 Carolina 20, Duke 0 1923 Carolina 14, Duke 6 1924 Carolina 6, Duke 0 1925 Carolina 41, Duke 0 1926 Carolina 6, Duke 0 1927 Carolina 18, Duke 0 v 1928 Carolina 14, Duke 7. Carolina's X - - v.-'.- ::::..::.: T U AV.-.V.VAV. Captain Ray Farris, picked on every All-Southern Selection, is being praised as the. greatest guard on the Southern grid in many years. He plays his last game as a Tar Heel against Duke Saturday. TENNIS OUTLOOK IS VERY BRIGHT - Coach Kenfield Is Optimistic About Showing In Spite Of Loss To Virginia. Although the Tar Heel tennis team dropped six of the nine matches in the opening tilt with Virginia last Wednesday, Coach Kenfield does not hesitate to pre dict a successful tennis season for 1930. Conceding the fact that the Cavaliers have a strong tennis aggregation this year, the Carolina racquet-swingers did not show the strength that is to be expected when the full quota of varsity material is availablei The lineup last week contained but two veteran players, Yeo mans and Merritt. Baggs, Ken dall, Bryan, Palmore all new men in varsity net action -showed up well despite the fact that all except Bryan lost in singles and doubles-. Bryan scored over Noell in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Two of the strongest con tenders for varsity ranking, Eubank and Sonny Graham, were not eligible for intercol legiate play last week, but will probably rate regular berths on the squad as soon as eligibility obstacles are overcome. Gra ham will be open for play by early spring and Eubank will more than likely clear his dif ficulties up before then. Liskin, first ranking freshman last year, but not entered at the Uni versity this fall, will probably return in time to bid for a var sity berth at the opening of the spring practice. An abundance of material is out for varsity tennis this year, and, according to Coach Ken field, the lineup used last week is by no means a definitely estab lished thing. The only two per manent members are Merritt and Yeomans; the remainder is only tentative, and may be shift ed altogether by the time var sity play is resumed next spring. Some of the more prominent candidates for varsity positions at present are A. M. Rhett, C. C. WinecofF, Frank Owens", the Wardlaw twins, Fred and Digby. Doug Potter, George Water- house, J. E. Skinner, Moe Wolf, and others. The Virginia game was the only varsity contest scheduled for the fall season, but a full schedule of fifteen or twenty matches will be played in the spring with the first match fall ing somewhere around the first All-Southern Stars 4 , y ' mi N. C. - Duke Tickets Tickets for the Duke-North Carolina game December 7th can be obtained for $2.50 at the Y. M. C. A. Friday, De cember 6th, at 5 o'clock, will be the last opportunity to ob tain the tickets. of April. Although the games have not been booked yet, Coach Kenfield intimated that a large portion of the schedule would in clude an extended southern tour. The main trip last season was a northern one where such teams as Georgetown, Prince ton, George Washington and other leading eastern univer sities were played. It is Mr. Kenfield's intention to alternate the northern and southern trips, going north one year and south the next.

B E GOOD T O G E.T BACIIFIELD ACES BACK IN UNIFORM Magner and Wyrick Work Out In Preparation for Dcke Con test; Reserves Work Hard. The appearance in football togs yesterday of Pete Wyrick and Jim Magner for a light workout raised hopes that the two backfield aces who have graced the sidelines for the past three, weeks will see service in the game with Duke Saturday. Coach Collins expressedthe opinion that there was a good, chance for both boys to return to the lineup against Duke.' A short scrimmage, the first since the Virginia contest, cul minated the workout Tuesday. Only the reserves came in for the scrimmage . session .while the veterans who carried the bulk of the burden in the Virginia game rested. The dampness of the turf and the stinging cold prevented the reserves from showing their best. On defense the second stringers looked good at times, but allowed the opposition to rip off long gains through tackle and around the ends. Quarter back Meore, halfbacks Maus and Slusser, and Fullback House ran behind the reserve line against the frosh. The line listed, Nel son and Parsley, ends; Dortch and Thompson, tackles; Mclver and Hudson, guards, and Gil breath, center. fli fork- sffxzQ ti crowar iffi in m n hi 1 1 t s- tl II Delicious and Refreshing A SHAME BULL the YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES ' CD-S I S W H E RE I T 7 i -J Si J f " H I .V ' J .i t
