4 Pardo Gridders Get Back To Work For n car Vastly Improved Gobbler Outfit BU CHAPEL HILL, N. C WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1938 by BILL BEERMAN (Editor's Note: This column is the writer's own opinion and not necessarily those of his edi torial superiors). Attention, please! Do not phone your newspaper or radio station! This is a dramatization! Going .into a trance, our staff crystal-gazer reads us the fol lowing item clipped from the newspapers of 1945 : "Davidson's mighty band of Wildcats trounced the Univer sity of North Carolina 54-0 here today before six or seven hun dred bored fans. It was the fifth straight Tar Heel loss of the season ; previously, the Carolina team had bowed to State, Wake Forest, Virginia, Guilford, and Spearfish." And a few years latar: "For the fourth consecu tive year the Carolina White football team won the South ern conference championship, yiaj nig cut liuia-icaui game with the Carolina Blues. Fourteen schools withdrew from the conference several years ago, and since that time the lone member, the Univer sity of North Carolina, has divided its small squad each season in order that two elevens might battle for the championship.' So seems the future of Caro lina football if it continues on the path now beaten for it. Something will have to be done, and done soon, if football is to, stay above the level of degen eracy. Not very long ago the widely-criticized Graham Plan was booted out of the confer ence, but still much remains in the abortive " archives of the Southern circuit which should be purged completely. Duke unir versity, we venture to say, will soon get wise and drop from the ranks to join some other league, such as the very good Southeastern conference. Then, unless it is too far gone to make its voice heard, the University of North Carolina should do likewise. ' . , . A remedy could be advanced to cure the situation, but one thing remains as a barrier on the otherwise smooth road: the lack, or supposed lack, of internal aid by which hard working and deserving ath letes can get through school. Believe it or not, Carolina football at the present is un subsidized and simon-pure to the nth degree. In fact, the fleece on Mary's little lamb was a dirty gray compared to the "whiteness" of our foot ballers. Yes, you say, but where do the lads get the lucre to come here? Well, listen, it's the alum ni who have so far kept the Uni versity from crumbling on its (Continued on last page) MEMORIAL HALL ONE NIGHT ONLY WED., NOV. 9 The Dramatic Event of Many Years.

In taking second place in the South ern conference meet last year. Hardy, then a sophomore, ran the second fastest five miles recorded by Tar Heel .harriers. Bill Hendrix, confer ence first placer, broke the then ex isting record set 10 years previous by Elliott. An operation removed the piece of chipped bone from the inside of Hardy's left ankle and this fall it was. thought that he probably would be out of competition during the present har rier season. Constant work including time trials with the varsity put Hardy into shape. Coach Dale Ranson announced defin itely that Hardy will run against Navy. Hardy's return leaves only Bill Gordon inactive among eight return ing cross country lettermen, the seven fit men being Tom Crockett, Jim Hall, Bill Hendrix, Joe Russell, Drewry Troutman, Frank Wakeley and Hardy.. ' ' These seven lettermen are among the competition for running berths against the Middies and Maryland. Hendrix and Crockett are slated to double up on both meets, with Hall, Wakeley and Hardy among the mono gram men running against Navy and Troutman against Maryland. Sopho more Dave Morrison is, the only un lettered harrier who is sure of making the trip. " . The varsity and freshman squads took a three and a half mile jaunt yesterday. Tonight at 8 o'clock sound films discussing style in various events based on the national championships run at Milwaukee in 1937 .will be shown. The track squad and all others interested are invited to attend at Woollen gym. Gymnasts Look To Better Team , In Future Years By BILL LINDAU Among the apparatus used by the gymnast is a polyfunctioned pieced namely, the mat. Among its primary functions, the mat is used as a back drop for the art of tumbling physi cal tumbling, as contrasted with emo tional, or psychic tumbling, as when Johnny Liverlip tumbles for Lizzie Drizzlepuss. Coming back to the physical tumbling which is influenced, to a tremendous degree, by the laws of motion and falling bodies, thecon clusion of each figure is not the pos terior, as you may think, bm a con dition of rest either on the feet or on the- anatomical conclusion. Here enters another function of the mat. Carolina and Duke have the only gym teams in the entire South. In the AAU tourney last year, Carolina met Duke for the first time in some thing like 20 years and won the team title and several individual titles. The boys are now looking for an other opponent. The opponent near est Chapel Hill with a gym team is the Naval Academy. This . opponent is a grandfather in the game. Not long ago, the Acad emy team was beaten for the second time in a period of 15 years. TAR HEELS VS. NAVY? The discussion centered about the advantages and the possibilities of meeting the Naval Academy in. a dual meet, either in Chapel Hill or at Annapolis. The boys are not so naive as to think that the Naval Ar-fldpmv could' be beaten by so young, so small, and so untried a group as themselves. j.neie cvnoc quently arose the questions: Are we game to suffer the humiliation if any of being licked by a tough proposi tion? What guarantee could we give the Academy, should the meet be chosen for. Chapel Hill, and how the heck would we get to Annapolis if it were to be held there? On the first question, there is fur ther division. Some of the boys are of the "we would be sadder but wiser" school of thought. One or two want to wait and practice more be fore meeting another opponent. One or two think that the trip would be lovely, even' if they would have to pay the expenses personally. The de (Continued on last page) INQUIRING RE-SPORTER The Inquiring Re-Sporter yesterday afternoon cross-examined three Caro lina students as to their opinions concerning the outcomes of this com ing week-end's gridiron battles. . " Opinion varied oifthe results of all the games except for the Carolina VPI one, in which all the contestants were unanimous in picking the Tar Heels over Tech by two and three touchdown margins. Jen Swaik se lected these with a cocky air: Caro lina 21, VPI 0; Michigan 7, Penn 6; Colgate 13, Syracuse 12; State 13, Manhattan 0; and Alabama 20, Tu lane 19. Phil Moore saw them this way: Carolina 14, VPI ' 0; Michigan .13, Penn 0; Syracuse 13, Colgate 6; State 7, Manhattan 0; and Tulane 13, Ala bama 7. Here are Joe Nelly's choices: Carolina 16, VPI 0; Michigan 7, Penn 6; Syracuse 14, Colgate 7; State 7, Manhattan 0; and Alabama 7, Tulane 6.

Newton, boss man of all the Wolfpack footballing fortunes. Doc hasn't had to date what one would be inclined to call a good season in fact, it would be more nearly accurate to report that the campaign has heen, shall we say, putrid. Yes, we shall. Let's look at the record, as a brown derbied New York politician used to say who has since departed from the derby to the opera hat class. The Wolfpack managed to beat Davidson in the first game of the season, after that, maestro, we'll swing into the most convenient funeral march. Carolina beat 'em, Alabama repeated more of the same; State barely came in ahead of Wake Forest. Now it starts getting bad, very bad, for Furman, beaten by Davidson Saturday, tied the Wolfpack, and Saturday Virginia Tech did everything but pamt the Blacksburg stadium with the Newtoners. By all counts that's two wins, three losses, and a tie, not very inspiring. And heaped on that is the very good prospect that State will lose four more games this year: Manhattan, Detroit, Carnegie Tech, and Duke. Mis ery, yeah, they've got plenty of it at West Raleigh. With such a record in view, they're probably getting the axe sharpened and uncovering a bare spot on the Newton neck. The coach usually does go when such an undistinguished record is turned out. It's an old story at State though, this business, of firing the coach. The Wolfpack always corrals some of the best material this side of the Pitt campus but the bossmen can't seem to click out teams. Velly, velly amazing to State alumni body. Velly dis gusting, too. So they fire the coach. Hunk Anderson had great material and a great system. No get results, pretty soon Mr. Anderson find himself out in cold, last heard of assisting Fritz Crisler at Michigan. There wasn't anything wrong with Anderson, everybody admitted he wa6 a nice chap who knew his football. But they fired him and moved Doc Newton from the rustic serenity of Davidson to the hurly burly of State. And it is pretty turbulent at" Raleigh. Some folks whisper there's plenty of squabbling going on be tween the State players. They can name names and put their fingers on the guys causing all the trouble. They will also tell ' you that per- haps Mr. Newton should suspend the trouble makers that is if he wants his job. May be, in fact could be. One thing is certain, the trouble at State is not Doc Newton's fault. He came there two years ago with the best wishes of the State alumni folks and Mr. Davey Clark, the original I-hate-Graham man. But best wishes curdle, and perhaps Mr. Newton wilf be pounding sidewalks before long. Everybody admits it's not his fault, situations at Raleigh just aren't conducive for a good team. But the trouble may be too deep rooted, it's always easier td fire the coach. , , Bet Doc Newton wishes he was back in Davidson. PHI DELTS AND MANGUM GAIN IN TOUCH IMGUES YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Phi Delta Theta 6, DKE 0. Mangum 6, Steele 0. Zeta Psi 32, TEP 6. Ruff in 12, Graham 6. SAE 19, Phi Gamma Delta 0. Beta Theta Pi 18, Pi Kappa Alpha 6. By virtue of McCall's 55-yard run for a touchdown, after intercepting a pass, Phi Delta Theta eked out a 6-0 victory over DKE yesterday afternoon. This victory enabled Phi Delta Theta to remain in a tie for the fraternity leadership, and also gives them more hope in its con quest for its second straight touch football title. Clark, McCord and Royal were the mainstays throughout the game. Mangum moved into the shadow of the dormitory touch football crown yesterday as it defeated Steele 6-0. Driver scored the lone touchdown of the game in the last quarter on a long pass from Niven. This was Mangum's seventh consecutive vic tory, to remain in a tie for the league leadership. Niven, Forrest, and Ord starred for the winners, while Croom, . Brame, and Milner shared honors for the losers. Zeta Psi returned to its great ag gressive form yesterday to roll over TEP, 32-6. The winning team, in cap turing its sixth straight victory, seemed able to score at will, and was never in danger of being upset. Wil son, with three touchdowns, and Clark led the winning team to victory. Ruff in gained its fourth victory of the season yesterday as it downed Graham 12-6. The winners displayed a brilliant rally in the final half to gain the victory. The passing of Ger sten, and the work of Thompson were the most outstanding factors of the game. Led by DuBose, W. Carr, and Grainger, SAE defeated Phi Gamma Delta, 19-0. The loss was Phi Gam ma Delta's second of the year, and it banished practically any hope that the losers had of capturing the' fra ( Continued on last page) Mural Schedule 4:30 Field No. 1, Sigma Chi vs. Chi Psi; Field No. 2, Mangum vs. Manly (unofficial) ; Field No. 3, Kappa Sigma vs. Kappa Alpha; Field No. 4, Old West vs. Old East (un official); Field No. 5, Law School vs. Grimes (unofficial) ; Field No. 6, BVP vs. Aycock (unofficial).

Before the session behind locked gates of Kenan stadium, Wolf told his club, which was beaten 14-0 Saturday by Duke in the game decid ing this year's winner of the Southern conference chase, that it still had three games left on the schedule in which to gain a good record for the season. "The season is far from over," Wolf said, "We still have Virginia Tech, Fordham and Virginia. If we can beat all three, we will have a successful season. Virginia Tech is our immediate object." With this, the Tar Heel headman sent his first two teams, through a hard drill against Gobbler defensive formations. VPI comes to Kenan stadium Saturday in the final home game of the season for the Carolina forces. GOBBLERS TOUGH The Old Dominion team promises to be plenty hard to take. Wally Dun ham, who has scouted the team for the past two weeks, brought a' pad of VPI plays for the Carolina varsity to work on and told Wolf that the Gobblers were improving by leaps and bounds week by week, and would be far from a soft touch. Last Saturday the Virginians ran roughshod over State college to roll up a 7-0 win, muffing two other scoring chances, and racking up 15 first downs as com pared to three for State. - While running the first two teams against the VPI defenses, Wolf hinted that he would use nothing but run ning plays against the invaders, sav ing most of his passing hipper-dippers for the battle with Fordham Novem ber 12 in New York. SICK LIST SLIM Except for Chuck Slagle, lettered guard who hurt his leg against Duke, jwho is still in the infirmary, and Chuck Kline, who suffered contusions of the eye lid and showed up to prac tice with a closed right eye, the team reported in good physical shape. The first team lined up with Palmer and Mallory at end, Desich, Megson and Woodson alternating at guard, Adam at center, Maronic and Kimball at tackle and Stirnweiss, Watson, Rad man, and Kraynick in the backfield. Before the scrimmage against Vir ginia Tech defensive plays, Wolf sent the team through punting and kick off drill. George Stirnweiss and Ho race Palmer did the punting and got good distance. Palmer, who has been booting 'em 50-yards or more in prac tice, was given a kicking assignment with a defensive line rushing in, and' after having his first kick blocked, he managed to get a number of long, booming punts off. With the reserves doing the kicking off, the first stringers were drilled in returing kick-offs. Stirnweiss, Wat son, Radman, and Kraynick were in the first-line backfield during this session. .
