Both Crabtree-Iron Duff and
Fines Creek have already played
five games this season.
The Bethel Blue Demons and
Belles will be defending champions
in both the boys' and girls' divi
* sions this year. The Canton Black
Bears won the boys' championship
the two years previous, but passed
up the county tournament last
year in favor of the Blue Ridge
Conference meet and the state
Class AA plavoffs. The bruins again
have chosen to participate in the
conference tournament and will
not seek the countv title this year.
Played last year at Clyde, the
county tournament this year will
be conducted at Bethel.
Canton and Bethel ? perenially
the strongest quintets?both lost
heavily by graduation. Canton has
only three lettermen back ? De
wayne Milner, Charles West, and
Doyce Cannon, but all three were
starters last year.
Bethel has only one regular back
?Dean Reece, but the Blue De
mons have a number of promising
reserves.
The Bethel girls lost five out of
tlx starters by graduation, but the
Jielles alvav.s have a bench full of
experienced subs, Waynesville, run
ner-up in the* girls' tournament,
should be strong again with two
starting forwards and one guard
back. Crabtree and Fines Creek
have already shown strong sextets
in their five games.

Optimism Reigns On UNG
Campus As Tar Heels Get
Ready To Meet Arch Rival
this season, best describes the at
titude here toward the 41st an
nual football game between Duke
University and the University of
North Carolina. The game, last
scheduled ACC contest, will be
played at Durham Saturday at 2
p.m.
This rivalry, which dates back
to 1888, is the keenest in the Big
Crabtree-ID
And Fletcher
Split Pair
Crabtree-Iron Duff's girls won
over Fletcher, 55-45, Tuesday night,
but the Fletcher boys were victori
i ous. in a low-scoring game. 23-20.
McCracken was tops for the
! Crabtree girls with 18 points, while
! Owensby with 21 and Cunning
ham with 20 led the way for the
losers.
The score was tied at the half,
29-29
Matthews paced the Fletcher
boys with 17 points, while McEl
roy was high for Crabtree-Iron
Duff with nine markers.
Fletcher was out in front at the
half, 17-10.
Girls' lineup:
Crabtree-ID (55) Fletcher (45)
F?Presnell (15) Owensby (21)
F?Best (9) White (2)
F?Smith (2) Cunningham (20)

Four. Duke leads in the series with
a record of 20 wins, 17 losses, and
three ties.
Duke, with a 7-2 record for the
1955 season, will go into the game
as a slight favorite. However, a
look at the recdrd books will show
that there have been many upsets
in this rivalry between the two
largest colleges in the state.
Carolina, with a 3-6 showing for
the season, is on the rebound, los
ing only to the talented Fighting
Irish of Notre Dae in the last three
contests.
The Tar Heels, states Coach
George Barclay, "will be ready to
play." Except for reserve fullback
Giles Gaca who has an arm in
jury. Coach Barclay's squad will
be at full strength.
Halfback Ed Sutton, the Cullo
whee Comet, has been looking
particularly good in preparation
for the game. The Tar Heels have
been scrimmaging the freshman
squad which has already finished
its season.
Duke reserve end Bob Benson Is
the onlv man of Coach Bill Mur
ray's Blue Devils that will be un
able to plav because of an injury.
Reportedly the game could be
near a sell-out by Saturday after
noon. which would be the largest
crowd to witness a game at Duke
this year. In excess of 35,000 tick
ets have already been sold. The
game will be televised on a nation
wide hook-up.
The traditional beat-Duke par
ade will be staged here Friday af
ternoon with a contest for the best
float entered by a sorority, fra
! ternity. or dormitory being spon
sored by a fraternity. The annuel
beat-Duke pep rally, which will
probably draw the largest number
of students of any this year, has
not been announced.
Duke University Is the owner of
a current five-game win streak In |
the Carolina series. However. I
Carolina possesses the longest in
the history of the competition ?? I
winning nine straight games.
A victory for the Tar Heels
would certainly Improve Coach
George Barclay's bargaining poW
er when the Carolina Athletic
Council meets December 9th. at
which time his job will probably I
be discussed.
