O By Louis Graves, Editor The Chapel Hill Weekly Just after nightfall on every Saturday evening at this season of the year a tall, slender man with an eager look is to be seen talking back and forth along the short stretch of sidewalk be tween the Sutton drugstore and the Gooch cafe. He looks up and down the street, and he has the air of impatiently waiting for somebody. All at once his face lights up with happiness. The man is Archibald Hender son, and the reason he is happy is that he has heard- the first .shout of the newsboy bearing the Pink Edition of the Durham Sun. This is the edition that carries the reports of the after noon's football games. When Mr. Henderson has bought his paper he takes a stand beside the nearest lit-up show-window and proceeds to read. For the next few minutes he is far away from Chapel Hill. He is a spec tator in one grandstand after another in the south, in Cali fornia, in the middle west, in New York and New England thrilled by the assaults upon the line, the sweeps around the end, Notables Expected At Game r Ehringhaus and Two Former Governors of North Carolina, Presi dents of Rival Universities Will.

Immediately before the open- g kick-off of the Carolina-Duke game today the Chapel Hill chapter of the American Red Cross, with the assistance of the combined Duke and.

Red Cross nurse and accompanied by two small children,. Miss Alta Mae Simms, a Carolina co-ed. will come next. A huge Red Cross flag will follow, borne by 11 members of the freshman football team, wearing red jerseys with the Red Cross emblem on them. A patrol of Boy Scouts, car rying stretchers, will march af- ter the flag; and the Duke and Carolina bands will ormg up the rear. Henderson Enthusiastic Followers of Great the blocking and the tackling, the passes and the punts. For a long time I have mar veled at the vast volume of work that this man manages to get done, and the marvel grows now that I learn of the attention he gives to football. The session with the Pink Edition is only the beginning of the orgy. He reads the more detailed reports Sunday morning, in one of the North Carolina dailies ; his Sun aay rsew iork rimes arrives Monday and after the midday meal he buries ; himself in the football pages of that journal; and Tuesday he reads football again in the Sunday New York Herald Tribune which has been passed along to him by his sis ter. Mrs. Lyman Cotten. He reads not only the news of the matches, but the. comments of sports editors Jake Wade and Mitchell and Haney and McKev- lin here in the state, and Kieran in New York, and I don't know how many more. And now and then I hear him mention having read some football article in magazine. From conversations with him (Continued on page two) schools, Dean W. H. Wanna maker of Duke and Dean R. B.

(UP) Realizing a life-long am bition, Huey Long put the fin ishing touches on his political masterpiece tonight and as sumed the powers of a monarch over the two and one quarter million of his subjects in Lou isiana. Commenting on -his victory, Huey pronounced it "the great est triumph for human uplift and sober government this country has ever witnessed." King Huey's Corpus Legis The cause for this modest statement by "King Huey" came when his subservient state leg islature obediently enacted no less than 44 new laws, extending Long's dictatorship over every village, farm, and cross-road in Louisiana. The constables, police, public utility corporations, tax and election machinery, even, down to the commissions which pick juries in New Orleans and the men who serve warrants for ar rests, were placed at the end of the strings held by "Huey I." "Share the wealth" is Huey's slogan. "Sock the rich, especial ly the big corporations, and give the little man a chance" -is his creed. Carolina Rooters Yell, Shout "Beat The Devil Out Of Duke" SPONSORS' NOTICE Sponsors for the Carolina Duke game and their escorts will meet in the North Lounge of Graham Memorial this afternoon at 1 o'clock. It is imperative that they meet promptly to go to the stadium in a body. Anti-war Group Did Not Condemn Red Cross Motion to Withdraw Support Was Tabled, Not Passed. The action taken Thursday night by the local anti-war group concerning the charges made against the American Red Cross in the November issue of the American Mercury has brought, a response from R. M. Grumman, chairman of the Chapel Hill chapter of the Red Cross. Mr. Grumman's statement reads: "Two of the headings of the anti-war group story appear ing in the Daily Tar Heel yes terday are misleading in that the motion refer ed to was tabled rather than being passed, as the headings indicated. "Because of recently publish ed statements derogatory to the American Red Cross I wish to announce that the local chapter will be glad to make available to anyone interested factual in V I iormation concerning tne na tional organization." : ; The Daily Tar Heel acknowl edges the mistake made by its deskmen in placing misleading headings on the story. Notice: Red Cross All students who solicited Red Cross memberships are asked to hand in their reports to the "Y" office immediately. Duke Audi Carolina Renew Hivalry Of Half Century University and Trinity First Met Or "Shinny" Only Game Corresponding to Football to Have Been Played Before Then; Sport Forbidden. By Donoh Hanks The ancient rivalry which will be renewed here today when the Duke Blue Devils meet the Uni versity of North Carolina elev en dates back 46 years, when Duke was Trinity College and spirit between Trinity and Caro lina students flamed so high that football was forbidden at Chap el Hill. The Trinity football team and the Tar Heels met for the first time in the winter of 1888. Until then, football was played much as it is described in "Tom Brown at Rugby," with as many playing as were willing to en gage in it. The custom of a lim ited number of men on each side was not at all common, and at Trinity and Carolina until about 1880 was unknown. The game, before the day of intercollegiate contests, was played on the cam puses, two captains choosing up sides after matching a coin or tossing a stick for first choice. The game was extremely rough, rivaling an older sport of bandy, or shinny, which was vig orous form of hockey adopted by students from Scottish highland immigrants in North Carolina. Football rapidly supplanted shinny and gave quite as much "Act Like Gentlemen" Asks Harper Barnes Judge Reeves of Greensboro, Coach Bob Fetzer, and Virgil Weathers Other Speakers WEATHERS: "WE'LL WIN" A bonfire-lit Emerson stadium filled with the enthusiasm of 1, 500 loudly cheering students last evening gave vent to Carolina's hopes for a victory over arch enemy Duke this afternoon. Led by Head Cheerleader Os trow and his assistants, the stu dent pep meeting proved the noisiest and most successful of the year. Coach Bob Fetzer, represent ing the coacning staff, claimed that Carolina's team will be . fused into a unit pulling for Carolina against Duke. "There will be two games going on out there tomorrow," he said, "one out there on the gridiron and one in the stadium." Happiest College in South Virgil Weathers, president of the student body, urged that the students support the good play ing, of both teams with their cheering. , "If we beat Duke, there is no doubt that we will be the hap piest college in the south," Weathers said. "It is my firm conviction that we are going to win tomorrow. So let's go out there and leave every bit of dig nity, we have up in our rooms' he concluded.-. J-' : :';! Judge "Scrubby" Rives, class of '22 and announced as cheer leader for four years, said that if Carolina plays tomorrow like she did against Tech, "we're go ing to upset the dope and beat the devil out of Duke." Harper Barnes requested that Carolina students act like col lege men and not like a group of high school boys. on Gridiron in 1888; "Bandy outlet for the collegiate desire to break a nose or an arm. Carolina Defeated The Trinity team soundly wal loped Carolina in the first en counter. Neither team knew much about football, although the Trinity players had the ad vantage of having been coached by their college president, Dr. Crowell, who has a graduate of Yale and had played football there in his undergraduate days. The Trinity team was led by Captain Tom Daniels, former state commander of the Ameri can Legion. The players at the University were accustomed to playing in interclass games at Chapel Hill, and had often chosen up sides for an afternoon of sport, but this was their first year of inter collegiate play. The University team, before meeting Trinity, had already lost one game to Wake Forest Caro lina team members sent for printed rules of the game, and after two weeks of practice un der the rules without a coach, met Trinity ingloriously. Cap tain Bragaw. of the Carolina team was severely injured. ; The need of a coach was seen (Continued on page two) ? j-
