Varsity Looks Good Defensively
Against Frosh In Duke's Clothin:
First Team and Freshmen Bat
tle Long in Fierce Scrim
mage Yesterday.
STUART CHANDLER STARS
Veteran Shows New Offensive
Drive and Speed in Click
ing Off Nice Gains.
For the second straight day the
varsity engaged the frosh in a
long, hard scrimmage as the first
team battled a Tar Baby eleven
employing the Duke defense and
offense yesterday.
Yesterday, as Tuesday, the
varsity offense was weak, the
team finding it hard to penetrate
tjie frosh line using the Duke
defense. Defensively the Tar
Heels were stronger than they
were Tuesday and stopped the
Duke attack completely.
Chandler Shows Class
Stuart Chandler stood out for
his work in the backfield. Good
on defense all season, Chand
ler gave notice yesterday that
he is going places Saturday
against the Blue Devils as he
clicked off several beautiful runs
from scrimmage. Chandler
showed his old drive and seemed
speedier and shiftier than ever
yesterday.
Trainer Chuck Quinlan an
nounced that he would have
everyone ready to go Saturday.
Bill Croom who was injured in
the Davidson game will be back
in there as his leg injury has
healed. George Barclay's knee
is rounding into shape and he
will be ready for service also. It
is doubtful still whether George
will be used against the Blue
Devils, but Quinlan said he
would be ready to go.
Word received from the Duke
camp last night stated that the
Duke team had recovered from
its upset defeat at the hand of
State and was working with
new determination to defeat the
Tar Heels.

nounced yesterday by local of
ficials in the hill and dale event.

V. M. I., and Duke have entered
teams, while Washington and
Lee and Ole Miss have two and
one entries apiece. It is pos
sible, however, that late appli
cations will be received from
Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Favorites
Although Duke and Tennessee
rank as top-heavy favorites to
take the team title, several mem
bers of the U. N. C. club are
slated to give much better per
formances than against Duke
last Saturday. The Devils took
the Chapel Hill boys in to the
tune of a 17-41 tally card.
The race will begin next Sat
urday morning sharp at 11:15
o'clock. The race is open to
Southern Conference institu
tions only. Each team may en
ter ten men, eight of wnom may

I Only Heard
By Morrie Long
According to comparative
scores Wallace Wade's potent
aggregation is 53 points better
than the Tar Heels while Chuck
Collins' up and coming retinue
of stars appear 19 points strong
er than the Blue Devils That
is if you figure Duke beat Mary
land 34 to 0, and Vanderbilt
licked the same crew 13 to 0.
This makes Duke 21 points
stronger than the Commodores.
And since Vandy swamped Caro
lina by some 32 points Duke is
53 points ahead of the Tar
Heels. On the other hand,
Carolina took State by 13 points
while the Blue Devils lost by 6
which makes the Tar Heels some
19 points better than Duke.
Which all proves comparative
scores are a lot of hooey.
Did you know that Bill Cer-
ney, assistant football coach,
was the fifth horseman to the
famous four horsemen of Notre
Dame that Cerney and Chuck
Collins both are owners of gold
footballs emblematic of national
champions of 1924 that Wil
mer Hines won the Tennessee,
South Carolina, and Carolinas
tennis championships this sum
mer and was runner-up to
Frankie Parker in the Kentucky
state play that Nick Laney,
Duke's stellar halfback, is a
crooner for a campus orchestra
and also peddles papers in the
morning to defer his expenses
that Lou Little of Columbia is
reputed to be the highest paid
coach in the business with an
estimated salary of $17,000.
that there have been 24 football
deaths this year as compared to
50 of last season that Vander
bilt and Tulane severed athletics
relations because of the un
sportsmanship tactics employed
by New Orleans fans that
Carolina has filled her stadium
twice, once with Virginia in
1928 and again with Georgia in
1929.
From Texas comes the story,
about two football teams who
were keen rivals. With the count
deadlocked in the fourth session,
one team, fumbled on its 12-yard
line and the ball was recovered
by its opponents. Realizing that
there was but thirty seconds left
to play, a placekick was tried.
The ball was kicked and by the
looks of things it was going to
break the tie, but a Texan with
a lot of hard earned cash on the
outcome of the game changed
the complex of the battle by
calmly pulling out his .45 re
volver and cold-cocking the ball
just as it was about to go over
the cross-bars. The referee j
awarded the game to the place
kicking team.

Individual entries are being ac

The University of North Caro
lina Athletic Association will
award a plaque to the team win
ning the race. The initial seven
members of the winning team

Medals will be awarded to the
first fifteen men to cross the fin

DEVILS AND TAR HEELS PREPARING
FOR TOUGH GAME HERE SATURDAY
-o-
Wademen Look Better on Paper, But Tar Heels Have Upset Dope
In Previous Contests When Duke Was Favored; Game
Will Decide State Championship.
o -
Probably the greatest football
team in Duke history will move
on Chapel Hill Saturday, in the -
Blue Devils' annual attempt to
win a football game from Caro
lina. This year Duke has a good
chance to realize its ambition
and knows it.
Duke has come through a
rather stiff schedule with five
wins in eight games and a .500
standing in the Southern Con
ference. Wake Forest and Dav
idson have been downed in non
Conference games, the only ones
played by the Blue Devils this
season.
Devils Lead on Paper
On paper Duke stands to win
Saturday's game in spite of a
disappointing 6-0 loss to a rejuv
enated State College team last
Saturday, but a team's past rec
ord doesn't mean a great deal
when the Tar Heels and Blue
Devils mix. There have been
times in the past when Duke
was doped an easy winner, but
each time the Tar Heels have
risen and continued their supe
riority with dazzling wins.
In 1927, Duke came to the
end of the season with a string
of victories over highly rated
northern teams and wras a
strong favorite to break into the
win column, but Carolina, with
Steve Furches leading the way,
ran wild on Hanes field, Durham,
and came home with a startling
18-0 victory. The following year
the pre-game situation was much
the same and the Tar Heels ral
lied in the last half to emerge
with a 14-7 win. So this year,
in spite of Duke's Laney, Craw
ford, Kossiter, and Mason, it s
anybody's game.
- Crawford Line Star
Freddy Crawford, at left tack
le, has been a tower of strength
all season and has been men
tioned prominently as a candi
date for all-southern honors
while Dunlap at center and An
drews at guard have played ex
cellently. Werner, a former all-state
guard who has been handicapped
with injuries the past two sea
sons will pair with Andrews at
guard, but an injury to Porreca
may cause Duke to call on an
other right tackle. Rogers,
James, and Rossiter give the
Blue Devils plenty of strength

at the end posts, and Rossiter
ranks as one of the state's best
unters.
Laney and Mason have been
the most brilliant backfield per
formers, but Bob Cox, a sopho
more fullback, stole the show
until put out of the game by an
injury in mid-season. Artie
Ershler, a hefty fullback who
can block with the best of them,
has been playing regularly of
late and will probably get the
call against Carolina. Ken Ab
bott will likely hold down the
other backfield berth with John
Brownlee, who has been handi
capped by injuries, in reserve. N
Blue Devils' Record
In eight games the Blue Devils
have rolled up 133 points against
40. A 13-0 win over Davidson
opened the season and was fol
lowed by a 44-0 defeat of V. M. I.
Then came Auburn and the
Plainsmen took advantage of
early Duke mistakes to finish
on the long end of an 18-7 score.
Maryland was swamped 34-0
and Wake Forest went down 9-0.
The Tennessee game found
Duke at its best and the Vols
had a hard day of it before
Breezy Wynn booted a field goal
with three minutes to play and
gave Major Neyland's band a
16-13 victory.
Kentucky was taken after a
hard struggle, but last week the
Devils slumped and were power
less to do anything .against
State in one of the year's most
important games.
Betas Meet Zeta Psi
Today In Big Tussle
Representatives of Alpha Tau
Omega, Beta Theta Pi, and Zeta
Psi met yesterday in the Tin
Can to toss for the bye in the
fraternity league play-offs. A.
T. O. won this advantage, and
will meet the winner of this af
ternoon's contest between the
Betas and the Zetas tomorrow.
Today's game, which will
start at 4 :00 o'clock, is expected
to draw a big crowd.

Stumped Toe Rather Than
Early Worm in Spill.
Many old sages and sports sa
vants may wag their heads and
say that the early bird always
gets the worm, but Duke fans
will maintain otherwise.
Nick Laney, conceded by lead
ing sports scribes not only in the
state but in the south as one of
the finest punters for miles
around, has not punted a single
time this year until Saturday's
State game. It is true that Ros
siter has borne the brunt of the
Duke kicking, but some fans
maintain that Laney can even do
better than Rossiter at booting
'em.
Laney is a self-help student,
working his way through the
Methodist University. Many
fair co-eds throughout the state
will tell you of Nick's thrilling
crooning, for he does the vocals
in a college orchestra and is darn
good, as crooners go.
Also Carries Milk
Another one of Nick's' jobs is
carrying milk early in the morn
ing, and therein hangs the thread
of our tale. While the Duke
campus is getting its best sleep,
Laney is carrying milk to the
professors' door steps. On one
of his morning rounds, Nick, the
crooning half-back, stumped his
toe, and broke the nail off the
big digit on his kicking foot. Al
though Laney is not hampered
from making his touchdown
jaunts, his lame foot is still unfit
for the punting role.
Does the "early bird always
get the worm?"

At 8:00 O'clock.
The annual fall intramural
wrestling tournament opened
yesterday with a series of
matches that provided both
thrills and entertainment for
those who saw them.
An-unusually large number of
men entered the tournament, al
though there were no mn en
tered in the unlimited division.
Most of the contestants are in
experienced in any sort of wrest
ling matches.
Many of the falls were made
in remarkably short times. In
the 126-pound division Kornigay
looked good, but Beebe and Kel
lenberger are two experienced
men who are yet to be put out
of the tourney. Kornigay took
a time decision of 5:55 from
Hupman of Steele. Kellenberger
had a 5 :30 time advantage over
Snowden of Kappa Alpha. Park
er who represented A. T. O. took
a time decision over his frater
nity brother Northrop.
Mosof the really fast falls
falls occurred In the 135-pound
division. In another all A. T. O.
match, Webb took a fall from
the novice Crowell in 25 sec
onds. Roberts pinned the shoul
ders of Teer to the mat in 20
seconds. Both men represented
the Betas. Rogers of the Chi
Psis showed excellent promises in
defeating Connors of Lewis.
The bouts in the 145-pound
class gave evidence that whoever
wins the title in that division
will have to plow his way
through a series of hard match
es: Blackwood, who is trying
rfor a varsity berth held Rvan's
shoulders to the mat after 1 :30
of hard grappling. In a whirl
wind bout, J. Miller of Best
House felled H. Miller of the
A. T. Os in 20 seconds. In a
bout that was full of thrills,
Pennington pinned Hornaday to
the mat in six minutes.
Spencer and Owlick won their
bouts in the 165-pound class.
Shipman wrestling for Best
House took a fast fall from
Biggs of A. T. O. in 25 seconds.
Robertson of A. T. O. felled Res
sler of Lewis dorm in an over
time match. -
Percy Idol and Don Conklin,
varsity wrestlers, refereed the
bouts. Hiller also of the varsity
