DUKE HAS CLASS OF GRID II I. C. SHOULD1EAD “5” Bit Five Championship in Carolina Seems To Be Between Caro lina And Duke. A husky youngster, well-padded, head bowed, cleats digging rapidly In gridiorn sod, and a foocoall tucked under his arm Is supplant ing the figures of home run hitters of baseball on the sport pages in North Carolina. New stories from five gridiron camps, telling of the return or ab sence of stars of yesteryear, find locations on the sport page along side colorful accounts of the series between the Athletics and the Tanks. Football is here! What eleven will win the mythical ••Big Five” championship of Carolina this year? Will Carolina lick Georgia Tech’ Will Wake Forest, those Demon Deacons of the Baptist faith, rout Carolina to start the season again this year? Will Davidson and Wake Fewest tie to keep their records straight? Will N. C. State give Carolina a rude jolt as was done last year? Will Duke have the m%hty team it had last year? And how, after Thanksgiving when Caro lina meets Virginia in a game older than tfce writer, will the "Big Five” stand in North Carolina? Some Of Our Guesses. Many stars who glittered last year to furnish the thrills to. North Caro lina grid fans are missing this yea:’. Outstanding in the absent figures are McDowall, of State, Gray and Arrowood of Davidson, Furches and Warren, of Carolina, and a num ber of others. Will Jankoski, Buie, Warren, Goodykoontz, Whisaant, Mans, Benton, Cox and others sup plant them in football hero wor ship? Fernaps tne guesses are wrong— anything may be wrong at the be ginning of a football season as all coaches are pessimistic and all col lege boys are optimistic—but our i estimate, subject to change as the season advances, is that Duke will lead the list this fall when the sport Ians turn away from football to i basketball. As second in the race we would I rank Carolina, though it may be I that Wake Forest or State will trail : Duke, with Davidson at the tail end ; of the procession. Perhaps we have a reason, or | reasons, and perchance they may 1 be scouted at, but here goes; At' Duke the major portion af the youngsters who made up last year s eleven are back together with many sophomores of promise. Jankoski the best plunging back since Mer ritt at Carolina and Burns at David son, is there, as is Buie, the clever little field general who can toss passes and skirt ends with the bort of them. And along with the back field stars are Warren. Kistler and Peeler, ends unequalled in the state, and a heavy fast-charging line. Looks may deceive, but from the ap pearance of things Duke has tne best material for a championship eleven. Second place Carolina rates, with the chance of an upset by State or Wake Forest. A big part of the big blue line is back. Much of t» e backfield, unsensational as it may be, but steady, is back in camo. Recruits have come up from the fresh eleven. Somewhere in the group may be another Red John son, a Monk McDonald, or a Casey Morris. Some day, somehow this Notre Dame system at Carolina VJl find the talent it needs—-then, waten your step. State as the champion of last y ear should be reckoned in the list, but what was McDowall to State? Was it a one-man team last year, as some say, or was it a great team around an exceptional backfield man, as others say? This year will tell. Mc Dowall, passer extraordinary, is gone, as is Childress who snagged scores of those McDowall heaves, ( If it was a great football eleven, McDowall threw passes to Childress j on, then do not be surprised ii State is first or second In the Caro- ! lina race—but somehow we doubt! it. It was a good football eleven,; but McDowall was not just a good football player. ... He was great. | At Wake Forest there is a ques- i ticn marie, in our opinion if the! Wake Forest backfield could step in j behind a Georgia line it would be j many years before the South would ; hear the last of it. There is Johnny Coxe, the speed maniac left over i from last year, and a pair of ends; and three backs, at least, coming j up from last year’s team that shotud j be able to run rings around anv! backfield in the state. Perhaps ; hey ! will if the wall in front of than holds. A backfield, no matter bow good it is, is no better chan the line in front. Give Wake Forest the Carolina line, or Carolina the Wake Forest backs and the pick would Le easy. But if you are one of chose who take chances on a dark norse our advise would be to stack your money on the Baptist boys. At Davidson there wasn’t any ex ceptional eleven last year even though the Wildcats won the state title the previous year, and this year what little there was there last year, including Dick Grey and Hugh Arrowood, isn't there. David son will scrap as is customary with Davidson teams, and scrap in such a m»rtn*r es to th- *<•* His Rule Challenged Bobby Jones (above) great At lanta, Ga., stylist, who faces threat of George von Elm in national amateur tournament at Brae Burn Country Club.

Mrs. Houston was sick in bed at ' the time. She learned of their j disappearance when David, a four- j year-old brother Of the two girls, found a note they had pinned to the family clothes basket, This note, scribbled on a scrap of waste paper, read: I • Dear Mamma— ‘‘We are going to run away; we will take the gray cat away with us. We will write from the place we want you to forward Youth to ! each time if you will. Only re- j member we love you, our sisters and our brother." The ‘‘Youth” mentioned in the note is a magazine the children | took. j Nearly frantic. Mrs. Houston called the town authorities, who in turn notified the police.

We stock both crystal and polished plate glass and will give you whichever you prefer. Never will we make the mistake of charging the polished plate price where crystal is used. There is a whale of a difference in crystal glass qualities. We use only a rib bon process crystal sheet glass even though we might be able to get away with one of the imported brands of crystal glass which would cost us just a trifle more than com mon window glass. We know we will build faster, and more permanently, when you know that we are honest with you about the grades of glass used for replacements. It will be our pleas ure to point out to you the difference in crystal and polished plate glass. Automobile Electric Company J. L. GAFFNEY, Mgr. TELEPHONE 380 NO. * TOWNSHIP FARM BOUGHT BY MR.
