By J. S. Merritt er Dick Puckett, one or the other. The Time Is About Here Saturday is the big day and the place is Chapel Hill, N. C- We admit that there is not quite as much interest in the game this year as there has been in some other years, but Duke and Carolina always have a good game and there is al ways plenty of excitement. Duke is favored, even more so this week than last week since Carolina lost to Richmond. However, the Carolina loss to Richmond can mean only one thing and that is thet the Tar Heels will be in even better shape for Duke than they would have been. They will probably be fighting mad and about as ready for a good victory as a team could be. The Devils are not looking down on the Heels because of last Saturday’s loss, but are expecting an even better and harder battle. O-O-O - 0-0-0- With Ramblers At Sanford Tomorrow afternoon the Roxboro Ramblers, lead by Coach George Wirtz and his co-captains, Lawrence (Gus) Holeman and Fred Woods, will venture into enemy territory to engage the Sanford high school football team on their home field in semi-final play for the Class B conference title. With them will be the Roxboro high school band, under the direction of Frederick R. Moore, and many local sports fans. On local or foreign soil this is a definite asset to the Ramb lers winning cause and any support that can be given these boys and their coach is truly deserved. During the present season the locals have made quite a showing, defeating every opponent yet coming in contact with and have piled up a large number of points in mosc of their wdns. With the going of this season the Ramblers will lose several valuable men by graduation. Among them is that famous right end, Lawrence (Gus) Holeman, who excells in every section of his department. During the year he has won wide acclaim on his pass receiving ability and also in the fine defensive work that he has exhibited. In Gus, we| think, is stored up the energies and abilities that any college coach desires. Here’s hoping the right man sees him. o-o-o-o-o-o Many Good Games There Will be any number of good football games over the country on Thanksgiving Day, but just in case you want to see a real one and don’t mind driving a little way to see it we advise you to go to see the William and Mary-Richmond contest. These two teams will be playing for the champion ship of Virginia and both teams really want that honor. Richmond is riding high since she defeated Carolina and William and Mary is considered a power in Virginia football circles. The game between these two institutions should be one great affair. However, if you don’t care to drive so far you could pos sibly see other good games in this neck of the woods. o-o-o-o-o-o Whitten Is Right There I Bob Whitten, RoxboiVs boy at Carolina, seems to collecting honors for himself as a gridster with the Tar Heels and has two more years in which to advance. In Sun-; day’s dailies his name was plastered on the sports pages and also under several action pictures snapped. Whitten, 203! pounds of speed and shiftiness, played here for three years | with the high school Ramblers before making up the sport at the university. He is a good boy bothon and off the play ing field- VI/' 1 flyf marks him as first string matzr- WCLI JVIOOTC ial for next season.

The games he did play in were flawless as far as his centering was concerned. Mars Hill, Nov. 13 (Sper al) fig backs the line on defense and Wallace Moore, a former first, aces a fine job.
