ON THE
CUFF
In defeat, Raymond B. Wolf today
took rank as one of the outstanding
football coaches in the country.
If you believe that football i3 still
primarily a sport, Wolf is a great
mentor. If it is a filthy business, he is
a silly man who preferred not crippling
two football players rather than a shot
at winning the biggest game of his
career. .
Wolf had an undefeated season in
his grasp. A win over Duke, the an
ticipated ploughing through Vir
ginia and the Tar Heels would be
unbeaten with only the Tulane tie
standing against them. Wolf would
be ready for a bowl bid and the step
upward into the upper, upper strata
of big time, big name football. He
would be hailed as a great coach.
George Radmari and Paul. Severin
were key men in the Wolf machine.
Radman could do everything about
the backfield:run, block, pass, catch
aerials, tackle hard and bat down
enemy forwards. Severin was a bloom
ing . All-American end who scored
four straight touchdowns against Tu
lane and Penn as the Tar Heels
marched triumphantly - through two
major opponents.
Both were hurt a Saturday ago
against Davidson. Both were needed
sorely in the Duke game.
All week long, Wolf had experi
mented with trick plays. Magic that
called for' Radman and Severin.
Mysterious movements that were
calculated to end once and for all the
Southern conference domination by
Wily William Wallace Wade and
his sturdy Iron Dukes.
The day before the game, Wolf de
cided he might start Radman and Sev
erin: He grimly set his jaw, announced
them in the starting line-up and hoped
they would be ready. He knew if they
were not, the Davidson victory would
be the most expensive of the year. -
Severin started the game. Radman
was on the bench. Severin joined him
near the end of the first half. He did
not move during the second. Radman
almost got in the game when Don
Baker was hurt, but Don was merely
dazed and George, who had moved on
the field, limped back to his seat.
Wolf might have played Radman.
It was the next to last game of a
brilliant career. He would never be
of any use to the Tar Heels after
Virginia. Wrhat if he was crippled
permanently, well, football is a busi-

BOTH TEAMS HAVE
RAZZLE DAZZLE
By RICHARD MORRIS
Tag football, the first major activity
on the intramural program this year,
will conclude its inaugural season this
afternoon with the battle of the cen
tury, the meeting of the mighty, the
battle for campus laurels as Mangum
meets SAE for the campus title at 4:15
on intramural field No.' 4.
Both teams are champions in their
own divisions,' dormitory and fra

feated records thus far. The teams
have completed schedules of prac
tically the same caliber, but in this
respect SAE has a slight edge as it
has won 10 games to the dormitory
leaders' nine.
The game should develop into a
razzle-dazzle affair from the start
with the final outcome favoring the
team that has developed the best
plays. Wet grounds, however, may
hinder play to the extent that neither
team will have a chance to show much
offensive action and both will have to
rely on the breaks to win the contest.
Mangum, after ending its regular
season with a record of eight vic
tories, was forced to meet Everett in
a play-off game for the dormitory
title, but had little difficulty in down
ing the lower quadrangle team by a
19-0 score. Meanwhile SAE finished its
season with a similar record of eight
wins only to find itself tied up with
Zeta Psi, Kappa Sigma and Sigma Chi
for the frat lead. SAE drew Kappa
Sigma, supposedly the strongest team
on the campus in the semi-final round
and after holding them to a 19-19 tie
in the regular game, they took a
slight advantage in yardage gained in
the extra period and thus moved to
the finals. They met Zeta Psi in the.
finals and were again forced to play

Jim Crowson, Dave Barksdale and Johnny Pecora are three North Carolinians who will be in Tar Baby uniforms this
afternoon at Fayetteville. Crowson, a tackle, will be playing before a home town crowd, since he comes from Fay

the game at that post. Pecora of Warsaw, is one of the lea iing quarterbacks on the squad.
Coach Proud Of Tar Heels For Their Gameness;

Wolf Thanks Students
For Support Of Team
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
The good-looking secretary said
"just a minutej I'll see if Mr. Wolf
is busy." She opened the door, re
vealing that gentleman seated at his
desk, drawing designs, on a slip of
paper.
"Come on in," he yelled. "You'll
have to speak loud so I can hear you."
Mrs. Whatzername was holding her
afternoon tap-dancing class in the
room across the hall. ,An ambitious
Paderewski dished out a two-fingered
version of "Alexander's Ragtime
Band," while a number of steel
capped shoes clattered against the
hardwood floor at unsynchronized in
tervals.
"That," said Mr. Wolf hopelessly, "is
what I have to go through on Mon
days. Stick around 'til the tom-toms
start going. It's really good then."
So the man who was beaten by Duke
wasn't hanging by his neck from a
chandeliier yesterday. Neither were
any guns, knives, or poisons in evi
dence. One little football game doesn't
mean so much after all.
The coach looked out of the win
dow at the rain. "Nice day for ducks,"

years. After both had crossed the
finish, they nearly collapsed from ex
haustion. Mason Chronister and Tommy
Fields, both stars for Maryland be
fore the meet who failed to show
anything Saturday after the first
three miles, finished dismally, tying
for tenth place. Their failure to run
as well as had been expected let
Duke's harrier team push Maryland
hard for second place. The Blue
Devils were only four f points behind
the Terrapins in scoring. Chronister
remarked after the meet that it "was
just too much for him." Fields had
run himself into the ground and
wasn't able to say anything.
The Tar Heels' low score of 19
points was the second lowest ever
made in a conference meet. The Tar
Heel harrier team of 1927 holds the
record for the lowest score of 17
points, tallied by placing six men in
the first eight finishers. The Caro
lina harriers took five of the first
six places Saturday.
The victory was Carolina's tenth
in 15 years, and its fourth in a row.

WINNING RECORD
WOULD BE GAINED
BY BEATING IMPS
By LEONARD LOBRED
FAYETTEVILLE, Nov. 20. The
Tar Babies of Carolina and the Blue
Imps of Duke, playing an important
role in the celebration of North Caro
lina's sesqui-centennial anniversary
festival, will clash on the Fayetteville
high school gridiron tomorrow at 2
o'clock."
Having had more than the usual
week of preparation since their last
games, both teams will end their sea
sons tomorrow with this game as the
biggest one of the year. It is the an
nual classic between the Carolina and
Duke freshman elevens that means so
much to both parties concerned, since
the men who play tomorrow will be
the headliners of two or three years
from now.
It should be Carolina's year. The
Tar Babies, with Jim Lalanne throw
ing and Frank Doty catching, beat the
Blue Imps in Charlotte, 7-0, in 1937.
Steve Lach last year led the Imps to
a 'similar one touchdown victory over
Carolina.
The Tar Babies, although they play
ed their best game of the year, lost
their last engagement to the Virginia
freshman, 14-7, on . two sensational
plays, one an 80-yard pass and the
second a 63-yard touchdown run in the
closing minutes of the game. The Tar
Babies' only other defeat was by Wake
Forest, 25-0, when they had a decidedly
off day. They beat Virginia Tech,
19-6, in their opener and topped State,
16-0, in mid-season.
The Carolina frosh seem to be at
their peak of the year. Having beaten

BREAI. OF GAME,
BET RIGHT PLAY
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Ray Wolf had no alibis to offer to
day for the shattering of his hopes
for a Carolina undefeated season Sat
urday, 13-3, on Duke Stadium by a
sturdy, hard-hitting, powerful Blue
Devil team. v
"We have no excuses," the Caro
lina bossman said yesterday. "They
got the jump on us. Tbat was all
there was to it. We have a great
team. They had a better one. It
just wasn't our afternoon.
"That Duke game is behind us.
There's the matter of a Virginia en
gagement Thanksgiving, and we have
every intention of keeping it. Right
now we're concerned with the Cava
liers. There isn't a thing in the world
you can do about a game that's al
ready been played."
There had been some criticism about
having Stirnweiss quick-kick on the
20 yard line on first down early in the
third quarter. Tony Ruffa blocked
the punt, in fact was on Stirny even
before Von George could stick his
toe into the ball, Bill Bailey fell on
the ball over the goal line and Duke
was on its way to victory. That, in
the minds of most of the spectators,
more than anything else was the break
that started Duke rolling. The re
porter thought Stirnweiss had every
fright in the world to punt.
"Sure," put in Wolf, "the quick
kick has always been one of our most
potent offensive weapons. If the play
had worked, Stirny would have been
hailed as a great, daring quarterback
It failed and now they're saying he
had no business calling it. On the
bench I felt it was the right play. I
still do. We've beaten NYU several
times in the past by using the quick-
