A masterful job of quarterbacking by Ruffin Har- ville, a stiff defense, and a* few breaks combined to net the Wildcats a victory in first conference start. On the final play of a see saw first quarter, Chapel Hill’s Clyde Campbell took the ball on a cross buck, e luded the Durham County defenders and dashed 58 yards for the initial touch down. In the third a bad pass from center sailed over the head of Northern’s Ed Johnson, who was back to punt, and guard Ross Jarvis, a defensive terror, pounced on the ball for the Wildcats at the Knight’s 25-yard line. From there it took Coach Bob Culton’s lads five plays to score with Harville doing the honors from one yard out. A clipping penalty in the waning moments of the game set Northern back on it’s one-yard strip, and on the next play the entire cent er of the Chapel Hill forward smothered an attempted handoff in the end zone for a safty.

Ray Jefferies, assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs, told the Weekly yesterday he has issued 2,036 car re gistration stickers to stu dents, and 1,372 to members of the University faculty and staff. The vehicle headcount fig lures were not yet complete, and Mr. Jefferies said they might be adjusted either up or down. Last year, only 1,052 stu dent cars were registered in the fall, and only 1,392 had been registered by the end of the academic year. Rut the figures are misleading. University officials believe there were actually more cars present, but registration was not as rigidly enforced as it is this year.

They are about u foot long now. | Mr. Hogan laughed in a jolly sort of way and said yes they got down to about here (and described a spectacular series of hairpin curves with his hand along the side of Rameses’ head) i "Blnaa,” said Rameses, and charged a puppy, who sidestep ped neatly behind a bucket and (Wagged its tail. "In mating season,” went on Mr. Hogan, “when the rams get to butting each other, when they hit each other in the middle of the forehead, like this, some of the bark from the horns wears off and they get screw worm under the wool. You can’t hardly tell when they get it, so you can’t do anything about it. That’s how Rameses VII died. He got two or three screw worms in his head and I didn’t even know he had ’em.” “Blaaa,” said Rameses, and glared at the puppy, who wag ged its tail disarmingly. We remarked on the abundant [supply of puppies wandering a !round and asked how many Mr. Hogan had. Mr. Hogan laughed again and scratched his white head. “Don't really know, offhand,” he said. j“l guess atiout 16 dogs in all. j You know anybody wants a pup py?” He picked up a small black .combination beagle and labrador land slapped its pink stomach ! this one and that little red one 'there away.

Gets kind of lonely sometimes. We live pretty rough out here. Sometimes work hard, sometimes play. Know anybody wants a puppy?” We politely declined the pup py, who looked almost irresisU ably appealing, sdjd goodbye to Rameses (who replied within the confihes of his customarily limited vocabulary), and depart ed, bearing with us the additional information that Rameses had been born in the spring of 1964, that lambs wers no troubla to raise at all, and that when bom Rameses had been about the size of a cat, which was hard to believe judging by his present eise.

When Oliver Watkina, our advertising manager, got home from work one night last week he was greeted by two screaming women and a third with a hoe in her hand. He stopped the car before he got halfway in the yard and jumped out to see what the trouble was. One of the women was his wife. The others were Mrs. Mary Bell Jones and Mrs. Ruth Fink, the Wat kins’ next-door neigh bors in the three-house court in which Mr. and Mrs. Watkins live. Mrs. Jones was in Mrs. Fink’s kitchen flourishing the hoe. Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Fink were standing in the back yard yelling. After some difficulty, Mr. Watkins got his wife and Mrs. Fink quieted down enough to tell him coherently that there was a snake in the kitchen and that Mrs. Jones was try ing to kill it. Mr. Watkins immedi ately took charge of the situation. The first thing hpdid was to get the hoe- Wielder out of the kitchen. Then he bustled around and found an old sink plunger out in the garage. Armed with this, he in vaded the kitchen and kil led the snake, a really for midable king snake seven and a half inches long and almost as big around as a lead pencil. * * * Most barbers we have talked with dislike giving crew cuts.
