Chandler SIX TAR HEELS TO SING SWAN SONG THANKSGIVING UBRTR0ZCe With Johnny Branch back at the helm of the first team, the Tar Heels finished up their prep arations for their Thanksgiving classic with Virginia this after noon at 2:00 with a light drill yesterday afternoon. Virginia has been coming up remarkably fast of late, and the Cavaliers, who spent the night in a secluded spot near here,, in their final drill yesterday after noon appeared to be strong, in good shape and in high spirits. The Tar Heels have the state title in the bag again, but their season record shows three vic tories, three losses, and three ties, and it will take another vic tory to make the season look right. Pep Rally Students and alumni joined in the large pep rally in Memorial hall last night. Coach Bob Fet zer, director of athletics, and R. B. House, University executive secretary, were .the speakers. Billy Arthur led the yells, and the University band furnished the music. Ticket sales have taken a de cided jump since the turn of fate has made it appear Virginia is going to make it a close game. Last reports from the ticket of fice indicate a crowd of twenty 9 j to twenty-five thousand. Captain Bill Thpmas, one of the south's best backs, and Lewis Reiss, Virginia's great center, led the Cavaliers through a short but snappy final workout yester day and Coach Dawson whisked them away to the seclusion of a nearby town. Dawson said his squad was in the best shape it had been in for several games. Only two or three men could be classed as injured, he said, and they could be used if needed, stretch in his first year as Vir ginia coach , Carolina's Strength Carolina's strength, on the other hand, was problematical. Johnny Branch was back in the fold, but chances are that .Stuart Chandler, who played the best ball of any Tar Heel against Duke, would be out with a bad leg. Staton Mclver, first strjng guard, and Frank Smith, second string tackle, held out " of the Duke game due to injuries, were said to be ready, but it was doubtful whether these two or June Underwood, first string tackle, would be 5 able to stand the gaff long. Rip Slusser, halfback ace, may have to run behind a mask, too. 1 It is hplieved that Coach Chuck Collins, who hasn't lost a game to Virginia since his hrsi year here. 1926, is going to throw a new explosive and com bustible backfield at. Virginia wth Branch at quarter, Phipps, Most of the teams in the south will be closing their schedules today, and as usual they're sav ing the best for last. Naturally, the Southern Classic Virginia- Carolina game leads the field in tradition and color, but there's plenty left for the rest of the Conference. Carolina-Virginia Virginia has been losing so much this year that it'll be al most impossible to change their ways overnight. However, re ports come from Charlottesville that the Cavaliers are a rejuve nated outfit, and that the Tar Heels will come in for plenty of opposition. In spite of that we'll string along with Carolina by about thirty points. Vandy-Alabama Ineligibility and injuries Tiave been playing havoc with the Commodores while the Tide has been riding on an easy schedule. Alabama by about one and three cheers for Vandy." Georgia-Tech The Bulldogs on the downpath and the Engineers going up. It looks as though the schedule has finally caught up with Harry Mehre's men, and nothing would please the Yellow jackets better than a win over Georgia.

TAR BABIES PLAY KISKTSATURDAY Four Freshmen on Injured List For Game With Prep School., TAR HEEL TENNIS TEAM DECISIVELY BEATS CAVALIERS HIGH TEAMS WILL MEET FOR TITLE A rivalry which was inter rupted for one year will be re- snmpd tomorrow in Kenan sta dium when the football teams of Apex and Reidsville clash there to decide the championship of the class "B" high school con ference. In the meeting last year, Reidsville trounced the eastern team by the score 20-7, thus gaining possession of . the cup which is offered to the win ner by the state high school athletic association. , Hampered by injuries but in high spirits, the Carolina fresh men are. working their hardest this week in preparation for their final game, which will be with the famous Kiski prep ele ven from Pennsylvania, and which will be played in Kenan stadium here Saturday. Kiski, known far and wide as the "Notre Dame of Scholastic Football," played the Carolina reserves to a 0-0 tie last year, showing one of the neatest and classiest attacks a prep school team has ever shown in these parts, and driving far and wide in mid-field only to find the re serves rallying on their goal line for unpenetrable stands. This year the famed Pennsylvania prep schoolers have beaten first year teams from West Point and Penn State, among others. The Tar Babies have had a checkered seaspn, losing to Oak Ridge, N. C. State frosh, and Duke frosh, and getting back on the winning track with a victory over Virginia's yearlings. In this their last game Manley and Ferrell, ends ; McDonald, half back; Gardner, center; Jackson, quarterback; Moore, fullback, played the best ball. Carolina Captures All Nine Sin gles and Doubles Matches Yesterday Afternoon. HARRIERS FINISH SUCCESSFUL YEAR Carolina Wins Southern Title for Fifth Time in Past Six Years. By Paul S. Jones The North Carolina 1931-32 edition tennis team handed the Virginia racquet-wielders a se vere drubbing here yesterday afternoon in the annual fall meeting of the two teams. The Tar Heel netmen snatched every singles and doubles match to score an impressive" 9-0 deci sion, the most decisive victory they have" registered over their Old Dominion rivals since 1927. Despite the loss of their star player, Bryan Grant, who left early for the Thanksgiving holi days, the Carolina racqueteers found little trouble in taking most of the matches with the loss, of but a few games. Two tilts, the No. 5 and No. 6 singles battles, went the full three sets before a decision was reached. Dave Morgan, playing No. 5 for Carolina, found the. going hard in his match with John Hedges but finally eked out a 7-5, 6-8, 6-4 win. Ike Minor, who sub stituted for John. Dillard in the No. 6 singles tilt, won over Bill Hobbs after three hectic sets, 6-8, 8-6, 6-4. (Continued on last page) The Carolina cross country tean has just completed a very successful season, winning every meet in which it partici pated, including the Southern conference meet. The first run of the season was held at Gaines ville against the Florida hill and dale outfit and, in spite of the long tiresome trin. the Tar Heels decisively humbled the 'Gator squad. Mark Jones broke the worsted, followed by Bob Hub bard, Edwin McRae, Captain Clarence Jensen, and Louis Sul livan in that order to give Caro- ina perfect score. The next encounter ; was against Duke at Chapel Hill and, led by Captain Jensen and Bob Hubbard, the Blue and White harriers emerged victorious.

Woolsey ' Thanksgiving Day Novelty Reel Special Morning Show At 10 O'clock The Tar -Heels and the Cava liers wind up their seasons to day in a revival of the oldest and one of the most colorful games in the south. Season records make Carolina the fav orite but strong or weak Vir ginia teams never quit when they're playing the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels have won seven, lost three, and tied two of twelve games played since the war, but their only sizeable vic tories have come the last two years. The whole of the 39-year rivalry tells a different story, for Virginia leads with twenty victories, twelve losses, and three ties. The rivalry has been great from the first year, 1892, when Carolina lost" an early season game to Virginia 30-18, then came back to win a post-season scrap 26-0. Virginia teams were invincible for five years following, and it took Carolina's undefeated team of 1898, cap tained by Frank Rogers, to eke out a 6-2 win. Scores In Past Carolina got a 12-12 tie in 1892, a 16-0 win in 1893, and a 17-0 win in 1895, but the rest of the twelve games from 189.8 to 1914 were all Virginia's: Captain Dave Tayloe's boys of 1914 came up to the Virginia game with a perfect record, but lost 20-3, despite the fact that they ran up 359 points for ele ven games. Virginia won 14-0 in 1915, Carolina 7-0 in 1916, and for the next two years the boys fought the game of war m the trenches. Since the ' war the Tar Heels have held a decided upper hand, but all games have been close except for the last two years. Carolina won 6-0 in 1919, 7-3 in 1921, 10-7 in 1922, 14-13 in 1927, 24-20 in 1928, 41-7 in 1929, and 40-0 last year. Virginia won 14-0 in 1920, 7-0 in 1924, and 3-0 in 1926. The 1923 game was 0-0 tie, and the 1925 battle was" a 3-3 deadlock. R. R.
