By Jack Bessen Although that much vaunted Tennessee attack failed to click, the Vols took advantage of every break to crash through to a 7-0 victory over a Tar Heel team that completely reversed last week's form. Whereas, last week, Carolina's tackling was undeniably weak, yesterday's tackling was hard and vicious. The Tar Heel run ning attack was also much im proved over last week, " Coach Collins' charges making five first downs. Wild Bull McEver was not so wild yesterday; in fact, Gene was meek and - gentle like a lamb. The All-American back and leading point scorer of 1929 carried the ball thirteen times and made a total yardage of twenty-five yards, averaging al most two yards a rush. Tennessee scored their lone marker midway in the second period, whn Peacock fumbled a kick, Tennessee recovering. The Vols then pushed the ball over in five plays. Acting-captain T h e r o n Brown, Carolina right end, met Captain Skeets Mayer of the Vols where the formality of meeting each other was gone in to. The Tennessee leader won the toss and elected to defend the west goal with Carolina kick ing off. June Underwood kicked off to Tennessee's ten yard line where it was brought back ' to the thirty-one yard line by Feathers. Mclver made the tackle. On a spinner, Brackett to Wynn, the Vols netted four yards through left tackle. Brackett plunged through the center of the line for six yards and a first down. After two plunges through left tackle gained but four yards, Brackett, whose punting feat ured the Vols offensive, booted the ball from his forty-five yard line to Carolina's fifteen. Play seesawed back and forth, with Tennessee making whatever scoring threats were made. The Vols were once inside the Tar Heel ten yard line, but an incom pleted pass into the end zone saved the Tar Heels from a pos sible marker. The quarter end ed with Tennessee having the ball on Carolina's twenty-five yard line. . Carolina received the ball on her own twenty-four yard line. After two thrusts failed to make any headway, Croom kicked to the Vols forty-two yard line. McEver made one through the line. Tennessee was penalized five yards for off side. McEver was tackled savagely by Gil breath, losing three yards. Feathers then attempted to kick, but June Underwood, who play ed a great game at tackle, block ed the kick and it was recovered by Fysal on Tennessee's thirty four yard line. This was the closest that the Tar Heels came to the Vols goal in this period, Croom's pass being intercepted by Feathers on his own fifteen yard line and run back to his thirty-one yard marker. Brack ett kicked from his thirty yard line to Carolina's thirty-four where it was fumbled by Pea cock, Derryberry recovering on the Tar Heels twenty-six. This happened to be the break of the game. Wynn made seven and Brackett made three for a first down. Feathers made seven, and Wynn reeled off three more The Tar Heels made a gallant effort to keep the Vols off, hold ing them on the two yard line h for three downs, but Wynn crashed through for the score. ' nicKman place kicked the ball for the extra point. The half ended with the score : Tennessee 7, North Carolina 0. The second half started with Carolina using the same lineup that started the game except that Ferebee was at quarter and Chandler at full. In this period, McEver did not carry the ball once. Carolina's most serious threat came late in the third per iod when they advanced the ball to Tennessee's five yard line. Brackett kicked to his own thirty yard line. A penalty for unnecessary roughness netted the Tar Heels fifteen yards, ad vancing the ball to the fifteen yard line. On three successive plunges, Croom gained nine yards, but failed by a foot to make first down, giving Ten nessee the ball on her five yard line, where Brackett kicked out of danger. In the fourth period the Tar Heels unleashed a desperate passing attack in an effort to score, but to no avail. Two passes, "White to Thompson and White to Phipps netted forty yards but the Tar Heels were unable to make yardage when gains meant first downs. The game ended with Tennessee in possession on her own thirty yard line. Although the Tar Heels did not win, the 14,000 odd specta tors saw an exhibition of foot ball rarely seen in Kenan stad . m "i . i? rum. Tennessee s neavier line was outplayed by the Carolina forward wall, while the . back fields were on a par.

Time and again these two linesmen stopped the Tennessee attack dead in its tracks. It was mainly through their work that McEver was only able to make a two-yard average per try. In the second session, Under wood crashed through the Vol line to block Brackett's kick. Football Scores Yale 6; Army 6. Purdue 13: Carnegie Tech 6. Navy 15; Princeton 0. Penn 27; Wisconsin 13.

(third period) OHIO CO-ED PERFECTS SYNTHETIC DINNERS For many years scientists have been attempting to perfect a synthetic food. A co-ed grad uate student, Miss La Vaughn Dennison, of Ohio State has perfected a cracker which will replace a regular meal of meat, potatoes, carrots, and pie. This 1 1 A 1 1 cracKer s cmei ingredients are bran and milk and it contains every vitamin except vitamin C, which is found in most greens. T ill j i n inow tnat syntnetic iooa is practical, Miss Dennison is doubtful over its future. She is quoted in the Ohio State Lantern as saying: "I doubt whether man will be able to give up his food which he loves so well. Habit is pretty strong and the thought of life without mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, a world without restaurants and grocery stores might sound pretty stale to most of us." It is believed that the cracker when perfected will be used as food to the undernourished and by explorers who must carry large supplies of food in little space.

Yesterday the fall baseball season came to a close as Coach Hearn called for a suspension of he game until next spring. The spring season is expected to be opened about the middle of Feb ruary. The baseball diamond will be needed for intramural athletics the remainder of the fall quarter, and inclement weather is expected soon which would make further play impos sible. The last day of practice was spent in a vigorous batting drill, and the baseball equipment was turned in at the end of the prac tice as the men retired for a winter of well-earned rest. Fin i i a ine wnoie tail practice m wnicn eignteen games were played in five weeks of practice was looked upon by the coach as unusually successful. . Both team and player profited by the time spent on the field, and the team work of the varsity has been considered excellent. Between eighteen and thirty- six men reported every day for practice, there always being enough for two full teams. The fact that some players had la boratory periods, to attend in the afternoon prevented them from being out every day. But on the whole attendance was better than ever before. , Not only has attendance been excellent but the spirit, shown by the men in their work has been better than in former years. This fact was brought out in an address to the team last Thurs day night by Dean A. W. Hobbs, chairman of the athletic com mittee. Dr. Hobbs made a very inter esting as well as instructive talk to the team at the. Thursday At The Game By Morris Long Tennessee's highly touted re tinue of grid stars who were supposed to outscore Carolina by at least three touchdowns found the going much tougher than most Tar Heel partisans had ever expected and had it not been for a break in the game the Vols wouldn't have been on the top end of the score. There were many long, grouchy coun tenances in the Hill last night being worn by betters who gave Tennessee eighteen points. Smoy Ferebee did some fancy trotting in the second half, his galloping efforts being re sponsible in a great way for the Carolina advance to the ten yard line in. the third quarter. Re minescenses of Johnny Branch floated out to the 13,000 when little Ferebee meandered some twenty yards through a broken field in the third period. , The football bee was buzzing vociferously sLbout the great performance expected of the Ail American McEver of the Vols before yesterday's game, but after all the yardage was total ed up the bright light of the Knoxville contingent only had mustered some twenty-five yards in thirteen attempts. If McEver is Ail-American material how about Key and Roberts of Geor gia, not to mention Zimmerman of Tulane and Downes of Geor gia. Shull of Tennessee must be nearsighted or .possibly he was a little peeved with the officiat- mg. At any rate ne very neauy blocked Umpire Bates of Sewan- . . i i 1 XI nee in the fourth quarter, much to the consternation of the of ficial. Something must have hap pened to the police at the east end of the gridiron just before the imbroglio started as some two hundred of the ' knot hole gang pulled a "One-eyed Con nelly" act and crashed the gate, reminding one of a Notre Dame team, coming out onto the field. Red Gilbreath was all over the field and all over Captain Mayer of Tennessee yesterday, and if his work continues to be as good as his exhibition against Ten nessee the Texan will rank well among Southern Confer ence centers. Mclver, Walker, and Brown didn't make many mistakes either, little ground being gained over them. Abe Spatz, Carolina's battler, like Hickman and Mayer of Tennessee also had a rough day of it. Abe had his girl down from New York, it seems, and some one tried? to do wrong by him. With blood- in his eyes and revenge m his heart Abe gave his adversary a thorough going over, and it is rumored that Archie Allen's task of finding, a freshman flyweight boxer is solved. " ' " ' . . " "Scarf ace" Al Capone lost out for the first time in six semester popularity contests at the Uni versity of California,, drawing only third place on a field led by Will "Rogers and Mahatma Gandhi. " night meeting. He spoke about the means of improving the game from the player's and spec tator's standpoints; and advised the men to be good students so as to be eligible to play in the games. . . .'.y .. ' -. Hearn gave the boys a talk at the meeting and thanked them for the splendid . interest they kad shown throughout the fall season, saying also that he Was pleased with their performance. Captain Longest jointly; apprec iated the interest shown by the team as expressed by the coach. THOMPSON LOSES WELTER DIADEM Bows to Brouillard, Frenchman, Friday in Hard Bos ton Bout. Lou Brouillard, hard hitting Frenchman from Worcester, Mass., became welterweight champion of the world Friday night by pounding out a 15 round decision over Young Jack Thompson, San Francisco Negro. The bout was staged in the Boston Garden before 18,500 spectators. Brouillard sent his opponent to the floor for counts of nine in the tenth and thirteenth rounds and scored repeatedly with both hands to pile up a good lead in points. Thompson claimed a foul in the sixth round, but his claim was disallowed and the fight con tinued without further interrup tions. The unanimous decision of the judges was popular with the crowd. Brouillard was the second man to win the welter title from Thompson. The Negro took the title from Jackie Fields in 1930 but lost a ten round decision to Tommy Freeman before the year was out. Last winter Thompson and Freeman were matched for a return engagement, and Thompson regained the cham pionship. Brouillard has beaten Thompson once before, but the first fight was an overweight af fair and the title was not at stake. '' Hollywood Gossip The hot stage, heated to ninety-five degrees, in an aid in en acting anger and other violent emotions ; the cold stage, at fifty five degrees, is a help to an actor portraying hopelessness, mental depression and loss. ' " An experiment with tempera ture on the set of Paramount'3 "The Beloved Bachelor" resulted in these findings by Paul Lukas, ; Dorothy Jordan, Vivienne Os borne and Charlie Ruggles. Robert Milton and. other, di rectors have .banned the "Wa- Wa" brigade from Hollywood. This brigade comprises the at mosphere players who never can think of extemporaneous : lines to fit scenes; instead of making intelligent conversation, they murmur "Wa wa, wa wa." , Jeanette MacDonld, Maurice Chevalier's queen in "The Love Parade," has been signed by Paramount to appear opposite the favorite Frenchman in "One Hour With You" and another yet to be announced. Miss Mac Donald has been doing concert work abroad for the past several weeks. - Three loud rings of a bell in the Paramount New York studios mean that "shooting" is under way and everyone must keep silence. A former, pugilist, "punch drunk," had not been ad vised of the rule. When he came onto the "His Woman" set, where Claudette Colbert and Gary. Cooper were starting a scene, the three bells rang. He jumped from his seat and almost knocked out the assistant director before he was stopped. : David Mif, first cousin of the prince who slew Rasputin, the "black monk," is playing in Para mount's production of "Work ing Girls," with Paul Lukas, Judith Wood, Charles Rogers, and Dorothy Hall.
