BY EDWIN J. HAMLIN That our “beloved” president is nothing short of an old meany and a so-and-so is the opinion of every college ath letic director from coast to coast. From the stormy Atlantic to the peaceful Pacific, mind you, the gridiron schedule-mak ers are up in arms. And, why not? Look what he’s done to our sacred schedules. Thanksgiving Day moved up one week to the Thursday before the last Thursday in November. Who ever heard of such heresy against our forefathers? Third term, they’ve been talking about, have they? This fellow, F. D. R., would be lucky to survive this second term short of impeachment, if our friends, the athletic managers, could do the prosecuting. Talk about packing the Supreme Court, the resentment is nothing compared to the way these boys feel toward our gre-at leader. ******** Why, to tell the truth, it almost brings tears to our own eyes when we think of the traditional “turkey day” classics that will be broken up. So far as many of the big games are concerned, the Roosevelt plan may kick up more clamor than a hot halfback running the wrong way. Why, November 30, which the schedule makers thought was Thanksgiving, bless their trusting souls, is nothing more than another Thursday in November, when even the turkey hash will have vanish ed and Brother John Q. Fan long since returned to work on farm, factory, store or office. Carolina-Virginia, Fordham- N. Y. U., Cornell - Pennsylvania, Elon-Guilford and a hun dred others over this broad nation have been scheduled for this day and if something isn’t done to change them it’s likely they’ll be played in comparative privacy. There’ll be many a headache before the thing is finally settled. To move them back to November 23, the new Thanksgiving day, might mean playing two games in three days or even three games in seven days in the event games have been scheduled on both preceding and following Saturdays. This would never do. ******* * In the case of Carolina, November 23 would be just five days after that important Duke-Carolina classic and much too early to wind up a football season, the Virginia game being the last on the schedule. To change the date to a i Saturday, the 25th., a week after the Duke game, also seems too early and would conflict with Duke-State in Raleigh while December 2, although a good date, would necessitate a ! two-week interval between games which would never do j either. All in all it’s a very complicating thing the President 1 has done and might lead to international complications if more of the colleges played football with foreign teams. . 1' ******** And while we’re on the schedule question, let’s do a bit I oi recapitulating on those of Duke and Carolina. Both have | home schedules which appear somewhat weak when com- j pared with other years. That is, Carolina has no outstanding home attraction such as Fordham, Tulane or Duke as of re cent years and Duke has nothings compare with Pitt, last year’s headliner, Tennessee or Georgia Tech, except of course Carolina, which is good for a capacity house where ever the game is staged. Carolina has scheduled State as its homecoming oppon ent while Duke brings Syracuse to Durham for its homecom- j ing attraction, neither of which is as good as Tulane and Georgia Tech, last year’s homecoming foes. The Tar Heels open on September 23 with The Citadel with the Blue Devils following a week later with Davidson. The two schedules with home games in bold face follow in order: Carolina THE CITADEL, WAKE FOREST, V. P. 1., N. Y. U., Tulane, Pennsylvania, STATE, Davidson, Duke, and VIRGINIA Duke Davidson, COLGATE. Pittsburgh, SYRACUSE, WAKE FOREST, Georgia Tech, V. M. 1., CAROLINA, and N C State.

Bowles kept the boys from Greensboro under control over most of the route although giv ing up a total of 12 hits. Carlton Slaughter, no doubt in spired by the recent hitting feats of Brother Enos, paved the way for Ca-Vel with a perfect day at the plate, getting three for three. Home runs by Barton and A.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1939 Morning And Afternoon Games At Burlington Are Scheduled. Ca-Vel’s baseballers, fresh fiom a victory over Greensboro’s Mock Judson last Saturday, look forward to two tough engage ments with _ Burlington outfits Saturday. Both games are scheduled for Burlington diamonds with the lo cals meeting May Hosiery at 10 o'clock in the morning and Mc- Ewen at 3 o’clock in the after noon, both games being sche duled Inter-City league contests with important bearing on the second half race rapidly nearing completion. Manager Baxter Mangum’s men, with a creditable showing during this second half race, are hoping for at least an even break in Saturday’s double feature. Bowles, Clayton and Blanks will all be available for mound duty since the locals only game of the week has been a practice engagement yesterday with the Gentry All-Stars. The recent return of the heavy hitting Carlton Slaughter to the Ca-Vel lineup should give the Mangummen additional power at the plate for the final stretch. o Clayton’s Win By Forfeit Clayton’s Store won a forfeit decision over Bethel Hill Satur day when the latter failed to ap pear for a scheduled game on the Bethel Hill ground. Bethel Hill defeated Clayton’s in a previous game played at Clayton’s Store by a score of 13 to 12, it was reported by Manager Jule Warren of the Clayton team. o Bi-State Games At South Boston Saturday, August 19th., Reids ville, 8:00 p. m.
