30 MEN MEET DEATH
IN MINE EXPLOSION
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 16.
Early today a disastrous coal
gas explosion brought sudden
death to 30 men working four
miles underground in a Mulga
mine shaft.
Fallen rock debris, from the
"blast, which occurred at about 2
a. m., in a section where 32 men
were workiner. hindered rescue
workers.
Ivan Fox, who was working
near the elbow crumbled by the
explosion, was seriously burned
and, according to Fire Marshal
Sam Williams, was the only per
son working near the blast "who
did not lose his life."
The number of blast victims
was about equally divided be
tween Negro and white miners,
H. M. Marshall, vice president
of the Woodward Iron works,
reported.
As about 500 persons looked
on, the first bodies were
brought out in coal cars at 6:45,
about five hours after the ex
plosion. The rescue workers were led
to the scene of the tragedy by
a, crew of the United States bu
reau of mines. Their work was
hindered, however, by the pres
ence of coal gas and lack of oxy
gen. State highway patrolmen,
who were called to the scene as
anxious relatives and curiosity
seekers began to create traffic
jams, quickly cleared the way
for 12 ambulances from Bir
mingham and Bessemer.

A great number of the first

Agreement
For the most part the future
pledges have definitely made
up their minds and in many cas
es an agreement has already
been made with the fraternity.
v There are a few, though, who
still are on the borderline, and
have found it difficult to decide
anything. If any person, who is
considering pledging a frater

a week or so and find out defi

Field Day Meet At
Gore Stadium
Play Before 10,000
By Fletcher W. Ferguson
Gore Field, Wake Forest, Oct.
16 Striking by ground and
through the air, the University
of North Carolina football team
gained its second "Big Five"
and Southern Conference victory
here this afternoon when it
subdued Wake Forest 28 to 0
before 10,000 Homecoming Day
fans.
Scoring once in every period,
Carolina was never in danger,
Wake Forest being able to gain
only 2 first downs. Instead of
the usual "name scorers," the
Tar Heel point registering was
done by George Watson, Jack
Kraynick, Wally Winborne and
George Stirnweiss. Burnette
made three conversions good
and Stirnweiss one.
Easy March
Burnette kicked off to Wirtz
to open festivities. The Deacon
back was nabbed on the 38. Fol
lowing three exchanges of punts,
Carolina was off on an 83-yard
march to the Deacon double
stripe, Stirnweiss, Watson and
Burnette doing most of the cary
ing. With the ball on the Wake 19,
Stirnweiss then fought his way
over left tackle and picked up
six yards for a first down on
the eight-yard marker.
Score
Stirnweiss stepped back and
tossed an aerial to Watson in
the end zone, but it was incom
plete. Try again was the pass
word and this time Watson took
Stirnweiss' pass for the touch
down. Burnette converted.
Wake Forest stiffened
and
own
the
Tar
held Carolina deep in its
territory until mid-way in
second period when the
