RAY
HOWE
Dark Violets ...
Glancing through that fine
Communist organ, the Daily
Worker, the other day in search
of some juicy subversive doc
trine and stuff in order to be
able to keep up a conversation
when rubbing elbows with the
"masses," I ran across a rather
enlightening story about foot
ball of yesteryear.
Couple this with the fact
that Ed Williams, star full
back of this year's N. Y. U.
team, will not play football
for the Violets today, accord
ing to Head Coach Mai Stev
ens, and therein lies food, or
something, for thought.
Back in the days when show
man Chick Meehan was making
the world N. Y. U. conscious, he
had a brilliant Negro lineman
named Dave Meyers, who later
became a still more brilliant
quarterback.
ine vioiets naa ueorgia on
the slate that year and when
. the Southerners invaded New
York they dug up some Jim
Crow clause in' their contract
and refused to play unless Mey
ers was kept out of the game.
Meehan protested hotly, but
with several thousand football
fans set to see the contest and
an adamant bunch of Bulldogs
refusing to play ball, he was
forced to announce that Meyers
was to held down the bench
"with an injured shoulder."
Jumping at a chance to 'cru
sade,' the Student's League,
for Industrial Democracy,
forerunner of the present
American Student's union, is
sued their ever faithful leaf
let, made speeches, and got
excited in general in leading
a movement to oust Meehan
on charges of anti-Negro dis
crimination. Of course, the blatherings of
the would-be crusaders were
taken as such yea, even as
now and the Mighty Meehan
continued to guide the grid des
tinies of the New Yorkers
The Time Has Come . . . ,
"... to speak of many things"
but football is the most perti
nent. At the risk of sticking up
an already battered neck, we
look for Syracuse to down Cor
nell's Big Red today when the
two teams mix it up in their an
cient rivalry. Yeah, I know,
Baldwin Wallace beat Syracuse
19-7 last week. So what?
Maybe references to the
ASU have made me slightly
revolutionary but don't be
too surprised if the Violets
give the Tar Heels a mfghty
tough game this afternoon.
The New Yorkers are under
rated and have the psycholo
gical advantage where the
Big City is concerned.
We tend to like Georgia Tech
and think that State will get the
number of Furman's House of
Magic in their nightcap.

Ditt, Burnette Have
Highest Percentages
For Ground Gaining
Hutchins, Little, Watson Rank
In Ball-Carrying ,Role;
Art Ditt, big Tar Heel full
back, is leading his teammates in
the matter of ground gaining so
far this season. Ditt has lugged
the leather 21 times for a total
gain of 121 yards, a percentage
of 5.6 per try.
There's a spirited battle going
on between Ditt and Jim Hutch
ins, veteran senior, for the start
ing fullback post. Hutchins,
hero of the 1934 Duke contest
and all-Southern and all-South
last season, has been getting the
starting call so far.
Ditt turned in the best offen
sive performance of any of his
teammates against Maryland,
carrying the oval 68 yards on 10
attempts for a percentage of
6.8. " He scored both of Caro
lina's touchdowns.
Mettle
Ditt has proven his mettle on
defense, too. When the big Tar
Heel line gives way, Ditt throws
his 200 pounds against the run
ner and usually stops him. He is
a vicious tackier and a hard
blocker. He runs interference
beautifully and paves the way
for many of the Tar Heel gains.
Hutchins has carried the ball
30 times for 79 yards, an aver
age of 2.6.
' Tom Burnette, the Tarboro
boy, excels at kicking but he has
shown rapid improvement in the
ball-carrying role, gaining a to
tal nf 191 vards m 25 tries. . .or
4.8 per try this season.
George Watson, sophomore
star, has run 82 yards in 21 tries
for an average of 3.9. Quarter
back Crowell Little's percentage
is 3.1 for 63 yards gained in 20
attempts.

Berlinski will Probably be In
Game for Wolf pack
Coach Hunk Anderson will try
to remove himself from the well
known spot tonight when his
seemingly toothless Wolf pack
tries to stop the Purple Hurri
cane of Furman on Riddick field.
The Tech team has had more
than their share of trouble in
getting started, bowing to Da
vidson, Wake Forest and Man
hattan on successive weekends
after unimpressively beating
Elon in their opener. The 'Pack
was handicapped by the tempo
rary loss of Eddie Berlinski be
cause of injuries, but he should
be in condition to be in the line
up tonight.
Bad Luck
They made a good showing
last week against Manhattan on
Ebbets field, but were put down
when Bardes' 103-yard touch
down trip was called back after
he. had stepped offsides on the
26-yard line.
They looked better than they
have so far this season and made
determined stands time and time
again against the Jaspers.
Furman will be hampered by
the weather if yesterday's rain
continues to prevail, since they
rely mainly on a brilliant aerial
attack. They held Wofford and

TO CLASH TODAY
IN DUKE STADIUM
30,000 People Expected
To Attend Biggest
Game In South
. One of the outstanding games
in the country will take place in
Duke stadium this afternoon
when the two leading teams of
the South, Duke and Georgia
Tech, meet at 2:30.
About 30,000 people are ex
pected to view the kickoff and
leading sports writers of Dixie,
disunited in their predictions,
will be on hand to write word
pictures of the game that will
go a long way in establishing
the leading contender for the
Pasadena game on New Year's
Day.
Conditions
The Blue Devils are fit to a
man and will work Captain Ace
Parker, Durham's Honey Hack
ney and fullback Tipton to the
utmost. The Techs on the other
hand have reported injuries to
Lindsey, Cushing, Morgan, Jor
dan and Captain Fitzsimmons.
Coach Bill Alexander is also
worried about the condition of
Dutch Konemann, backfield
mainstay, who was put to bed
early Thursday with a bad
throat.
However, with such backs as
Appleby, Collins, and Hays, the
Golden Tornado is set to go
places in a hurry.
Records
After rolling up scores of 55-0
against Presbyterian, 58-0
against Sewanee, and 34-0
against Kentucky, the Techs are
not going to let the Devils carry
that ball very far without hav-
ing to fight every yard of the
I way.

With the double intention of
avenging the drubbing the bas
ketball team received at the Vio
let's hands last winter and of
showing loyal Gothamites south
ern football as she is played, the
North Carolina football team
entrained last night to meet the
N. Y. U. gridders in Yankee sta
dium this" afternoon.
The Tar Heel team, with three
very tasty victories over Wake
Forest, Tennessee and Maryland
under its capable belt, will pre
sent a strong forward wall and
a group of hard running backs
playing polished, orthodox foot
ball against the University
Heights lads.
Not So Bad
Though the New Yorkers
were seemingly blasted by the
Ohio State team a couple weeks
back, statistics of that game and
of the game against P. M. C. last
Saturday show the Violets to be
an adept versatile crew.
With the rains that swept the
East yesterday threatening to
continue today, the Tar Heels,
after their exhibition of wet
weather football against the
Terrible Terps last week, are fa
vored to outrush their op
ponents. The Violets have been prepar
ing a defense against the Tar
Heel offensive as portrayed by
their scrub team, but as Coach
Ray Wolf has kept several
things besides his arm up his
sleeve for three weeks, Yankee
scouts have not been able to
glean much information. They
do know that Burnette is a pow
erful punter, that he has made
six out of six conversions, that
Hutchins and Ditt are both
scrappers, and that Dashiell,
Rattle and Watson are tricky
runners.
However, Tennessee knew;
that and Maryland knew that.
Injuries
Coach Mai Stevens is a little
worried about his lack of reserve
material to put on the field today
