In high spirits and in a fight
ing mood, the Carolina gridders
topped their . preparations for
today's Homecoming Day game
with Georgia with a light drill
yesterday afternoon.
The Georgia squad arrived
early yesterday morning and
also took its last signal drills.
The Bulldogs were reported in
good shape. In charge of them
was Rex Enright, backfield
mentor, who is acting head
coach in place of Harry Mehre,
called home recently on account
of the death of his father. En
right was head f rosh coach here
last year. '
The kickoff will come at 2:30
this afternoon, and it is expect
ed that a colorful crowd of
20,000 will witness the after
noon's festivities.
Can Carolina's line stop Geor
gia when Yale couldn't ? What
powered offense will Carolina be
able to offer without Johnny
Branch? Will the Tar Heels
fight harder because they'll be
without Branch and battling the
odds?
These were question to be
heard over and over on every
side for the Tar Heels will take
the field against what is prob
ably their strongest enemy of
the year, without their biggest
single star, the brilliant little
Branch having been suspended
for the rest of the season for
breaking training.
Coach Collins has shifted his
backfield around, moved the vet
eran Chandler from full to quar
ter, and put Croom in Phipps'
place at left half to get a punter
in the first 'backfield, and the
way the Tar Heels have been
SPORTS
By Jack Bessen
Possibly with the exception of
the Turkey Day games, this
week should be the most impor
tant week of the football . sea
son. All the push overs are out
of the way and everybody is set
tling down to tackle their real
schedule. After today's games,
we should be able to tell who
will emerge as champions of the
various sectors of the football
country.
Georgia-North Carolina j
This game,' of course, will
hold the attention of Dixie foot
ball fans. ' fter a 2647 wallop
ing handed Yale by the Bull
dogs, the Tar Heels will- be ex
pected to fold up gently and take
their beating, but it won't be as
bad as that. The Blue and
White forward, wall will play
football with any outfit in the
South even against Georgia's
Roberts, Downes and Co. How
ever, it still remains undecided
whether or not the Tar Heels
will be able -to stand up against
the continual battering that
they are sure to get. Personal
ly the writer thinks that last
year's game will be replayed.
The Carolina team will put up
a whale of a fight for three and
a half quarters and in the clos
ing minutes, Georgia will shove
over a pair of touchdowns. One
vote for Harry Mehre's charges
and "a prayer for the Tar Heels.
Duke-Davidson
Last week's showing against
the Villanova club has estab
lished the Blue Devils as seri
ous contenders for the state
title, and Davidson should v not
stand in . their way". Duke by
three scores.
Alabama-Tennessee
The fur should fly thick arid
fast in this game if early sea
son form (even against set-ups)
means anything. The Crimson
Tide has scored 150 points to
date while the Vols haven't been
bashful about pushing the pig
skin over themselves. But since
Alabam' will be troubled by a
long trip, our vote goes to Coach
Neyland- and his boys.
Army-Harvard
Another game that causes
predicters to tear their hair out
hatfprinor tTia -frnsTn in RfVrim
mage since Branch's suspension, The Cadets looked plenty good
it looks like there'll be a great
fight.
Another big question was on
the lips of the dopesters, too.
Will Chuck' Collins, wily experi
menter and tactician, shift Car
olina's offense around, inasmuch
as Rex Enright, who has been
in charge of getting Georgia
ready since Mehre was called
home by the death of his father,
was a coach here last year and
knows Carolina's players and
plays so well ?
Today's game will ' answer
all those questions, and the fans
think the answers are going to
entail the feature battle of the
North Carolina football season.
' Coach Enright of Georgia has
announced he would probably
start Georgia's first team, some
thing he didn't even do for Yale.
That makes it look like Georgia,
tough as is Georgia, has a re
spect of its own for Carolina.
NEGRO SORORITY RANKS
FIRST IN SCHOLARSHIP
For the second time in three
years, Alpha Kappa Alpha, col
ored women's sororoity at . the
University of Kansas, ranked
first in scholarship ariiong the
national sororities on the cam
pus. This club led the field two
years ago, but dropped to the
bottom last yer. Delta Sigma
Theta, the other colored women's
organization, ranked last.
against Michigan State, a tough
Western team, while the Crim
son is in the throes of a new
coaching system. Then again
New Hampshire gave them plen
ty of trouble. Ray Stecker and
Co. ought to win by a hair.
Brown-Tufts
The Bear is running this year
and should continue after, today.
So far they have beaten Colby,
Rhode Island State, and Prince
ton, while the Engineers had a
tough time with Colby. Brown
by about four.
Yale-Chicago
Another intersectional game
for the Bulldog. Last week the
Eli contingent fared poorly
against another Bulldog, but
should snap their brief losing
streak today. The depression
has hit the Midway since. 1924,
and on Chicago's form this sea
son, Yale should win by about
two touchdowns.
Dartmouth-Columbia
It'll be a battle royal between
Hewitt of the Lions and Morton
of Dartmouth, with the Indians
on the long end of the score, de
spite the fact that in last week's
game against Holy Cross, Dart
mouth lost the services of four
first-string linemen. When Mor
ton starts -throwing passes, it'll
be too bad for Columbia.
Michigan-Ohio State
This is the game in the Mid
dle West. .The Wolverines have

Y0UNGGRID PLAN
Most Schools of Both Carolinas
Willing to Cooperate in
Fight for Charity.
College athletic authorities in
the Carolinas appear to be unde
cided about Owen D. Young's
request that at least one football
game be played by each college
this fall for charity.
Mr. Young, member of the
President's committee on unem
ployment relief, urged that col
leges unable to set aside a reg
ularly scheduled game for relief
funds, should try to play a post
season game.
North Carolina State and
Wake Forest are two North
Carolina teams "willing to co
operate" but neither has any de
finite plans.
Dr. R. R. Sermon, in charge of
athletics at State, said the mat
ter had been discussed before
Mr. Young'sannouneement but
that it was impossibly to make
an announcement at this time.
Pat Miller, - Wake Forest
coach, said his athletic council
would consider the request. He
pointed out that the Deacons
play only one home game and
that would not draw enough for
the purpose.
Davidson, through Norton
Pritchard, a college official, said
it jwould be impossible for the
Wildcats to play a charity game
as no post-season games are al
lowed by the faculty. He said
football receipts at Davidson
dropped off $7,000 last year and
were still .showing a decrease
this season-. This, he said,
would "eliminate the possibility
of designating a regular game
for charity.
Jess Neely, coach of Clemson,
said it would be "impossible to
give a definite answer at this
time."
Dr. Ralph K. Foster, director
of athletics at the University of
South Carolina, said post-season
games were contrary to South
ern Conference rules and he
could make no statement on an
unemployment game until fol
lowing the conference meeting
in December.
The Duke university Blue De
vils are ready to tackle any
formidable opponent for the
benefit of the unemployed,
Coach Wallace Wade declared
tonight. "We have lost money
on both of our home games this
season and I think it would be
unwise, to schedule a charity
game here, but Duke is willing
to do anything it can to the sit
uation," Coach Wade said.
University of North Carolina
athletic officials have done noth
ing official about engaging in a
charity game, but the suggestion
has been made that the Tar
Heels meet the University of
Florida. The contest would be
played in Durham. 4- "We have
not discussed a game officially,"
Dr. ' Foy Roberson, member of
the athletic council, said, "but I
am certain the University stands
ready to do what it can for the
unemployed."

Carolina will have to start today's game minus the services of
Johnny Branch, leaving the Tar Heels with only two veteran
backfield men, Rip Slusser, halfback, and Stuart Chandler (pic
tured above). Chandler, originally a half back, was converted to
full at the start of the season, and tomorrow will see the former
Oak Ridge star at quarterback. Bill Croom and Hanes Lassiter
complete the first string backfield.

A repetition of last year's bad
luck hit the Carolina boxing

Coach Rowe's most promising
rookies were forced out of action
on account of injuries. John
Preston, welterweight, had a
trick knee to collapse on. him,
and Paul Hudson, middleweight,

wear out the plush on the divans
