Although the Duke Blue Devils will not swing into action
until September 30 when they meet Davidson’s fighting Pres
byterians, North Carolina football really opens up this Satur
day. Doubtlessly a good number of Roxboro football-minded
citizens will be taking the roads leading to Chapel Hill, to
Wake Forest and to Greensboro in order to see for themsel
ves just what Carolina, Wake Forest and Davidson can say
and do in their games against the Citadel, the University of
South Carolina and North Carolina State.
Loyal rooters for the Tar Heels will not need to sit on
the anxious seat while they watch the boys from the Citadel
of S. C., try tobuck that line for a touchdown, but it may
be observed that a game with the Citadel lads offers tougher
opening opposition than many teams of first rate powers
choose to face. On the other hand, why not say that the night
game at Wake Forest between the Baptists and the South
Carolina Gamecocks from Columbia offers a more even
chance of win or lose, you take the choice.
Last Saturday’s Wake Forest - Elon combat in Greens
boro was certainly no full-power test of what the Wake For
esters can show, and on the other end of the scale the Uni
versity of South Carolina pig-skin carriers have a strong de
termination capable usually of a tit-for-tat fight with the
best.
That leaves the Davidson - North Carolina State con
test, also at night in Greensboro’s Memorial stadium. This
battle, too, can be one of those things, State being said to be
better than it has been, while Davidson always and forever
fights and fights. 0. K., gentlemen and ladies, you pays your
money and maybe you takes your choice on a bet, if the par
son happens to be looking the other way.
Good old September-October is a sportsman’s brace and
football is not enough. Hunting begins and cool nights follow
hot days when home-town boys gather in news offices and
around the radio to follow the annual ups-and-downs of the
World Series. Person county’s own, Enos Slaughter, the left
fielder of the Cards, has been right there in the game and by
being there he will sharpen local interest in the National lea
gue contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincin
nati Reds. Before long and before you know it, the grand
finale of baseball’s centennial year will be upon us.
********
Come what will, there has to be an end, even to this
column, but before long we ought to be able to say a word
concerning athletic programs of Roxboro high school. Being
the time of year it is, with Indian Summer not so far away,
comments on sporting events of the high school youngsters
will of necessity lead back to football, though we are quite
sure the boys won’t mind that at all.
And we hope their parents won’t either. And so, a loud
“Amen” until the scores of Saturday pile up and leave room
for the yet oncoming tabulations of Saturdays to come, after
which we’ll all go home and wonder, if, when and howcome
