Chapel Hill High School Wins
Second Victory of Season by
Beating Northern High, 14-6
Chapel Hill High School’s spirited Wildcats won their
second victory of the season Saturday night, taking the
measure of Northern High, 14 to 6, at the Durham Ath
letic park.
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.

The Chapel Hill Weekly
Student Autos Hit
2,036; Faculty
Has 1£72 Cars
No wonder Chapel Hill is
so crowded with automo
biles !
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.

Oklahoma Planes
Fly in for Game
Oklahomans following their
university football team to Chapel
Hill during the weekend traveled
in style.
jSix planes, one a DC-3 with
22 passengers, flew into the Un
jiversity’s Horace Williams Air
. port from the distant state. And
I Cadillacs ami other big cars with
Oklahoma license plates were
very much in evidence on Chapel
Hill streets. Their trip was not
disappointing, because they saw
Oklahoma come from behind to
defeat a stubborn Tar Heel team,
13 to 6.
Some Carolinians also traveled
in style. Eighteen Tar Heel planes
were among the total of 24 using
the airport Saturday.
The game drew an estimated
35,000 persons.

The interview of the national

pearance will be in Hill Hall at

For the first three weeks
WUNC-TV will begin telecasting
daily at 6 p. m. going on the air

Senator Know land's appearance

The scale is such that

Mercury revolves around the sun
in about three minutes, the Earth
rotates in only two seconds, the

eses by pulling him out of a
bleating, pushing, shoving lunch
party of wool-gatherers with a
| rope. Rameses tossed a blue horn
disdainfully at us and took off
!like something shot from guns
1 after a small white cat, who re
) treated to the roof of the log
house.
i We said he certainly did look
like a fine animal, and did his
jhez. _ get any longer? 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. Hate to have to
kill ’em.”
And there seemed to be quite
a few cats, too, we observed.
“Oh, yes, lots of cats, animals
of all kinds. 1 built this house
myself in kind of a hurry after
a fire,” said Mr. Hogan, waving
at the log house. “Got everything
I need in it—radio, television,
electric light and water; every
thing except someone to stay
with me. 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,

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.

Second Polio Shot
Between 70 and 75 per cent
of the eligible children in Orange
county received the second Salk
polio vaccine shots last week,
Dr. O. David Garvin, district
health officer, reported yester
day.
Complete figures and percent
ages were not available yester
day morning, but I)r. Garvin

been turned in by the nurses in
: dicated not more than 76 per
! !cent took the vaccinations.
1 1 “This is definitely not good,”
ihe added. “People are apparent
. ly losing interest because the
polio season has passed. They
1 probably will not get interested
again until next spring, and
then it will be too late to re
ceive the three doses required
for immunization.’’
. However, he added that Or
ange’s percentages were in line
I with the apparent trend through
. out the state.
