JLD Greatest Ovation Ever Stands Pay Tribute to Field Gen eral as Injuries Cause His Removal From Game. VANDY BACKS FEATURE Leonard and Roberts Each Gain Over Seventy Yards; Close, Roberts Count Scores. By Tom Walker "Depending smainly on a run ning attack, gaining 25 yards from scrimmage on runs, Van derbilt University yesterday scored two touchdowns to defeat Carolina by a score of 13-0. The Vandy backs time and time again crashed through -the Tar Heel line for gains, Captain Amos Leonard leading the attack until he was hurt and had to be removed in the third quarter. Johnny Branch was held in check hy the McGuginmen for the greater part of the game, but the little quarter got loose in the third quarter to return one of Fortune's punts for 54 yards. For the first time in his varsity career, Branch had to be taken out on account of injuries. He was hurt in the third period-after making a beautiful pass to Slusser for a thirty-three yard gafa. Hodges and Underwood, Tar Heel tackles, "several times went down under punts to stop the Vandy safety man in his tracks. Underwood was the only Caro linian to play the full time of the game. Philpot, who replaced Mclver at guard for Carolina in the final quarter, also showed up v well, going through the Vandy line once to throw .Roberts,' their great halfback, for a nine yard loss. The Nashville gridders scored their first marker in .the., open ing period. About the middle of the quarter, Slusser kicked out of bounds on his own 23-yard line. Leonard failed to gain on an attempted end run, but on the next play he gained two yards through center. An attempted pass from Leonard" to Thomas was incomplete, but Leonard passed to Close, who went over for the touchdown. Beasley's kick I or the 'extra voml was good. Vandy's other score came in the third quarter. Just hefore the quarter ended, Henderson, Vandy back, punted over Caro lina's goal. Bill Croom gained five yards on an end run, but Thompson fumbled at the line of scrimmage, Vandy recovering the ball. Foster tried a pass to Hughes, but it was incompleted. Roberts then tore through the line to cross the goal. Hender son's kick for the extra point failed. - . . Carolina first got into scoring position on the last play of the third period. Branch passed to Slusser for a gain of 33 yards, putting the ball on Vandy's 25 yard line. The Tar Heel quarter was hurt on the play, but he re mained in the game, taking the ball on the following play for an 18-yard run to end up on Van dy's seven-yard stripe. Again he was injured, and he was removed from the game.' Sports writers and critics at the game said that he received the biggest hand ever accorded anyone in Nashville. Peacock replaced Branch, and the ball to within five yards of the goal. Daniels failed to gain, and Las siter then fumbled. 'Lassiter re covered his own fumble but it Was tlio r!nrn Trinrlnres' ball On downs, shutting off the v Heels only chance to register a score Leonard and Roberts were the biggest ground-gainers for Van- COLLEGIAN A By Thomas H.

The hockey season makes its first appearance of the year on he N. C. C. W. campus Monday. The weaker sex's division of the University does not play inter collegiate matches but hold in tramural competition .among the class teams. Only four men on the Notre Dame varsity drew praise from Coaeh "Hunk" Anderson in Sat urday's Rockne memorial game with the reserves. Because of the raggedness of the remaining members of the team, double WQrk has been scheduled for this week. Frank La Bourne, dark horse halfback, Mike Koken, halfback, Banas, fullback, Brancheau, right half, were the four men earning praise. Koken and Banas were both injured in the practice. Mermaids and mermen of Northwestern university will do their swimming in f& new $35,000 pool when it is complet ed this fall. So eager were the students for the pool that, since no other funds were available, they agreed to pay an additional fee of one dollar a semester. This plan will pay for the pool in a period of three years. This wouldn't be a bad idea for Caro lina students to adopt.

Although the superiority of the Commodores was plainly evi dent, Tar Heel fans will take solace in the fact that Carolina made a wonderful , showing in holding Vanderbilt totwo touch downs.

FLORIDA PROVES TOO STRONG FOR STATE COLLEGE 'Gators Pile Up Score of 34-0 Over Wolfpack as Florida Running Attack Gains. The Florida 'Gators unleashed a powerful running and passing attack in the final half, which, coupled with misplays on the part of the Technicians, gave them twenty-eight points and a 34-0 victory over the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The first two quarters were marked by tight football on the part of both teams, a punting duel between Rogero, of Florida, and Greason of State predomi nated. In the closing minutes of the second quarter, Florida opened up; Buck, flashy quarter, went around end for seventy-five yards and the first touchdown. State players completely sur rounded the 'Gator star on the thirty-five yard line, but he pulled a Johnny Branch, wrig gling in and out among, the Wolfpack team, for the score. Buck rap the last forty-five yards with a clear field before him. . The half ended with the score 6-0, although Coach Smith tried pass after pass in a vain attempt to score in the closing minutes of the second quarter. In the third quarter the fire works really started. Dellinger took Florida's kick-off and ran twenty-two yards. On the next play Anderson intercepted Wil son's pass on State's forty yard line. On the second play from scrimmage of the third quarter, Hughes ran off-tackle for a touchdown. Rogero kicked the goal. Again in the same quarter, Hughes intercepted a pass on the fifty' yard line and ran to the forty. Joe Hall made a "miracle catch" of a long pass from Roerero and ran for a touch down. Rogero again made the extra point, but even then the slaughter wasn't ended. Don Wilson took Florida's kick-off back twenty yards. A pass, McQuage to Dellinger, placed the ball on the forty yard line. Mc Quage lost eight. After - a (Continued on last page) , Alfred Williams and Co. Inc. "BOOK AND STATIONERY STORE" .

EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIVE FOR Eastman Kodak Co. Rochester, N. Y. EST CLEASira Rookies Feature Opening Games OF1931Serie Williams, Athletic Shortstop, and Martin, Cardinal Center fiejder, Perform Well. Two rookies, playing in their first year of, major league base ball and their first world series, have become the main cogs of their respective teams in the cur rent series classic. . "Pepper" Martin," rookie cen terfielder of the Cardinals, and "Dib" Williams, flashy short fielder of the ' Philadelphia Ath letics, have ably filled the shoes of world series veterans, to be come the heroes of the first two games of the 1931 series. Mar tin has made St. Louis fans for get Taylor Douhit, while Joe Boley hasn't a chance in the hearts of Philadelphia fans. . Martin, a recruit of the Car dinal chain store system, leads the way to the batsmen with five hits in seven tries, two of which went for extra bases. Even the arm of Mickey Cochrane as one of the greatest catchers in the history of major league base ball, has not discouraged the, base stealing activities of the speedy centergardener. In the first game "Chick" Hafey made a clean steal of third, only to be followed by Martin's clean pilfer of second in the conference this insult to the mighty arm of Coch rane. Notwithstanding all this Martin made three hits in four swings on the side. In the second game the young Red Bird stole the show from "Wild Bill" Hallahan, scoring both the Cardinal runs, one on a perfectly executed squeeze play. To top all this and to the dis comfiture of Cochrane, Martin made two clean steals. "Dib" Williams, former Port land flash, stepped into the shoes of the aging Boley and fielded and batted like a veteran. In five official times at bat, Wil liams has connected for two hits and also gathered a pair of free tickets to the initial sack. Wil liams' fieldinglias also been way above par, handling three put outs and seven assists without a bobble. Paul Derringer, yearling Continued on last page) Developing Printing and Enlarging Your
