There's
with the
helluva sit
rambles o
3 quaint tune that begins
Timortal words, "There's a
ation up at Yale," and then
into vulgarity and obscur
ity. This isl as good a time as ever to
dust off theXoId ditty and have all the
Old Blues gather round for a touching
rendition.
- It is a Helluva football situation
up at Yale anyway you contemplate
and hear. The ivy is beginning to wilt
all over th.t sanctified East and at
Yale it hap become Poison Ivy in
large letters that are breaking the
heart of every Yale man and caus
ing Ducky Pond, the Bulldog mas
termind, to think nasty thoughts of
suicide or mass murder.
Yale has descended from bad to
worse. The score last Saturday was
Dartmouth 33, Yale 0. That was the
insult to end all insults for the Eli!
Getting beat by Dartmouth!
Zounds, men, things really had
come to a pretty pass. Up to a few
seasons ago, Dartmouth couldn't
win a game in the Yale Bowl to save
its own or the coach's neck. The
jinx was so bad that one fine au
tumn afternoon a couple of years
ago when the Big Green had the
- inest team in the East and Yale
was hopping around hoping to dis
cover 11 able bodied men to make up
one club, Dartmouth scored -33
points only to have the Eli make
that many in a wild final period of
a battle that ended up, 33-33.
But even a jinx falls before the
march of progress. Tradition or no
tradition, Dartmouth was ready to
step into big-time football. The jinx
was broken The Indians went out
and grabbed a few footballers, stepped
out with some intersectional foes and
began beating the other eastern clubs
with monotonous regularity. The
Yale jinx was busted wider open than
a Reno night club.
The Bulldogs were blown to bits
last Saturday. Ducky -Pond sat
through it all and suffered. .
Monday he decided it was time for
the boys to suffer. fSo, he dumped
eight of the starters off the first team
and announced as far as he was con
cerned, "the team on Saturday was
the worst I've ever coached at any
time at Yale, the worst team I think
I've ever seen on a Yale team."
Saying this, Pond began tearing his
hair out in the accepted fashion and
figuring ways to dig up a couple of
stray . students who were " hidden
Grangers, Franks, Kelleys, etc. He bit
his fingernails and sadly announced
he would probably have to use the
same man again much as he hated the

Tar Heels Not Qpittiiig Work
Bespite Wildcats9-Poor-Record
Maybe Davidson has won only a single game this year, but to the man who every afternoon directs the practice of
Carolina's football team, the Wildcats use eleven men just like any other regulation outfit. What's more, they can
pass the ball better than most gentlemen of the gridiron, a fact to be given serious consideration. '
To the question "what about Duke,' the reply on Fetzer field is plain "who's Duke?" The matter will be discussed
further Monday of next week. .
Carolina continued upward in the
national football ratings this past
week. The Associated Press ranked
the Tar Heels 8th, right behind Tu
lane, with Carolina drawing one
first place vote. Last night, Paul
Williamson's rankings put Carolina
second to Texas A&M, giving the
Tar Heels an almost perfect per
centage. Duke was rated 15th by :the AP
and 16th by Williamson.
Right now, it's "don't let up, we
gotta win this game at Winston
Salem Saturday."
Mr. Wolf speaking: "Davidson has
a good football team. We don't feel
sorry or anything for 'em around here.
They looked good in beating Citadel
they play football like any other
team."
, Granville Sharp, 155-pound passing
expert, is a second Jim Lalanne. His
receivers, particularly Hackney, Bolin,
and Hand, have improved with age
during the past seven weeks, and will
be a source of genuine concern ' to the
Carolina secondary.
Crowell Little, ace quarterback of
Wolf's 1937 team and one of the smart
est field generals ever to play for the
University, is now at Davidson as
sisting head coach Gene McEver.
Wolf said yesterday he had no rea
son to be displeased with the win over
State. "Rain messed up the second
half a little the ball was too slippery
to pass but I was satisfied. How
Tbout that, first quarter? All .right,
wasn't it?"
The coach admitted that at times
this year blocking and tackling have
been ragged. To that end, the squad
has drilled consistently and should, by
November 18, be in excellent form. v
For a change, no one was seriously
damaged in the State game, and" the
squad this week is at full strength.
Frank O'Hare is still out with his bad
ankle, Chuck Kline with " his knee.
Neither, according to trainer Chuck
Quinlan, will likely play again this
year. For Kline, it means the end of a
good but intermittent football career
at Carolina, one that just fell short of
sheer brilliancy because of the knee he
injured more than two' years ago.
Kline, when in top physical shape, has
been one of the best defensive ends in
the conference and a fine pass re
ceiver. . Monday Wolf dropped the passing
business which has been his salvation
in each of three big games and con
centrated on ground work. Running
plays and the blocking for them were
repeated until some success was
achieved.
Yesterday, having learned from
scouts that Davidson could go places
with aerials, the coaches directed the
varsity in breaking up passes thrown
from Davidson formations. Later,
Wolf continued the never-finished job
of smoothing out his own defense.
Stirnweiss, a sore leg bandaged for
protection but obviously not hurting
him, marshalled the first string as
usual, .with Lalanne handling a second
team. ' . '
Wolf denied that his men would be
playing "under wraps" at Winston
Salem." "Well mix our passing, with
running . and use what's necessary to
get somewhere. Davidson has a better
ball team than most people think."

TODAY & TOMORROW
NOV. 8 & 9
Representative: Mr. Robert Gray
It is the old story. Carolina's fresh
man grid team is slated to play an
other game tomorrow, this time at
Charlottesville against Virginia, and
Coach Jim Tatum has again announc
ed that the "best 11 uninjured men
will start."
The Tar Babies have had the advan
tage of more than the usual ' week
of preparation, and they will probably
have to be at their best tomorrow
against the Virginia frosh. Virginia,
claiming one of its best freshman
teams in years, has beaten VMI, an
other one of the good frosh teams of
1939. 1
The Virginia frosh are led by a
lad named West, a passing demon who
Was signed and sealed for delivery at
Carolina but suddenly backed out.
West is said to have thrown aerials
against VMI until the little Cadets
couldn't see them anymore.
LEAVE TODAY
The Tar Babies will work out light
ly this afternoon and depart at 6:15
for Charlottesville. The team will
travel by bus to the nearest metropo
lis and take a train there the rest of
the -way.
Most of the first and second team
men are in top shape for their tilt to-
morrow. some 01 tnem nave Deen
hampered slightly by minor ailments
during the week, but all of them will be

Underdog Deacons
WorMng To Upset
Once-Beaten Tigers
Brilliant Playing Ex
pected To Draw Attention
Of Southern Conference
Peahead Walker, "master of the
Wake Forest football fortunes, who
rallied the Deacons to an absolute peak
against Duke two weeks ago and then
watched them lag against Marshall, to
day was engaged in the task of whip
ping the Baptists .into the' proper men
tal pitch for the game with Clemson
Saturday.
It will be another Saturday when
Wake Forest enters the game as un
derdog, and it will be another Saturday
when the Jolting Juniors and Sizzling-Sophomores
of the Old Gold and
I Black crew will have everything to
gain and nothing to lose against a
i major foe. It will be an afternoon of
opportunity, and if Wake Forest wins,
it will be an afternoon of triumph,
placing the Deacons a sure third in
the final Southern conference reckon
ing. LOST ONE
Clemson has overpowered every foe
it has faced all year except Tulane.
The Greenies, playing their first game
of the autumn, scraped past the Tigers,
7-6,, in a game Red Dawson still
wheezes over as he reviews the Tulane
season. Clemson has beaten State,
Navy, George Washington and South
Carolina. '
The Tigers have been superb in all
their victories. They brought sorrow
to Annapolis, 15-7, without the services
of their man Friday, Bonnie Banks
McFadden, an active participant in
the race for AH-American backfield
honors.
McFadden has mixed running and
passing all fall into a poison dose for
Clemson opponents. He has been aided
and abbetted in backfield mayhem by
Shad Byrant and Charlie Timmons.
DEACS REALIZE
The Deacons know they must work.
But they also realize they have the
men to defeat Clemson.
Red Walter Mayberry, Walter Po
lanski, Johnny Ringgold and Marshall
Edwards add up to a big time back
field if there ever was one. Ruppert
Pate, Johnny Jett and Lou Trunzo
give Wake Forest three outstanding
men in the line.
Walker is not one to talk. But he

KAPPA SIGS WIN
SEVENTH CONTEST
FOR HIGH PLACE
YESTERDAY'S RESULTS
Handball
Beta Theta Pi 3, Chi Psi No. 2 0.
Phi Delta No. 1 2, Chi Psi No. 1 9.
Tag Football
Mangum 13, Med. School 0.
Kappa Sigma 55, TEP 0.
Old West 14, Law School 8.
Roffin 18, Steele 8.
Mangum's power house concluded
its regular season of intramural tag
football with a perfect record of eight
wins yesterday by rolling over Med.
School, 13-0.
The victory threw the dormitory
lead into a 'tie between Mangum and
Everett, and thus necessitates a play
off to determine the champions.
Everett conclued its eight game un
defeated season Monday by trimming
Old East. The play-off will be staged
next week. .
The victors accounted for their vic
tory over the doctors by running up
a touchdown in the first half and
then adding one in the final minutes
of the last period. Med School fought
hard throughout the game but couldn't
get away from Mangum's fast charg
ing ends and were thus unable to hit
pay dirt. Steve Forrest was the big
feather in Mangum's cap as he kick
ed, passed and ran better than than
other man has done in intramurals
this quarter. He was greatly assisted
by the fine offensive and defensive
work of Hardy, Glamack, Driver,
Leonard, Peacock and Nisbet. Hardy
and Leonard accounted for the touch
downs while Glamack added the extra
point. Outstanding for the losers
were Holmes and D. Pressley.
NEW RIVAL
i Unbeatable Kappa Sigma set a new
record for scoring in tag football yes
terday as it cantured , its seventh
straight game by crushing. TEP under
a 55-0 score.
The victory moved the Kappa Sig
ma club to within one game of a per
fect record for the regular season
and a tie for the fraternity lead. If
they defeat Chi Psi on Thursday they
will be in a tie for the fraternity lead
and will gain a place in the play-off's
for that title.
Every man on the Kappa Sigma
team played in a manner creditable

Duke, VMI Coaches
Use Same Systems
DURHAM, Nov. 7. Two teams
drilled in the same school of football
philosophy will clash Saturday at
Lexington, Va., when Duke's Blue
Devils go against VMI's Flying Squad
don in the second half of Virginia's
Biggest Football Week-End."
' Washnigtbn and Xee "entertains the
University of Virginia at -Wilson field
Friday afternoon, and the Blue Devils
and Cadets follow on the same field
Saturday in a game highlighting the
VMI centennial celebration.
Both Duke and VMI play the game
of football according to the system
made famous by . William' Wallace
Wade,1 coach of the Blue Devils, and the
reason for this similarity is a jnatter of
history.
WAY BACK
When Wade was head man at Ala-
Ibama back in the O's, he had playing
for himself in 1925 and 1926 one of the
finest quarterbacks he has ever tu
tored. The young man's name was
