Methodists will leave nothing undone to keep him covered Coach Herman Steiner Is counting heavily upon Frits Crute tnd Barney Carter Trinity ends to do the stopping Both men are spectacular defensive

Korth Carolina meets Trinity collets on Hanes field The graduate manager of athletics at Trinity believe a record crowd will be here for tha fame He li so confident that more than 8000 fans will bo on hand that he has authoriied Jhe erection of extra bleachers which will accommodate more than 8000 fans The seating capacity will be close to 1000 for this gama the big gridiron event of the season so far as Trinity is concerned Trinity expect to win the game At least the rank and file of the student body admits a feeling of confidence and hope It Is not likely that the students will risk much of their money on the faith In the ability of their team to win however unltss they are offered odds The athletlo officials at Trinity will go so far as to admit a belief that the Methodist Blue Devils win They also admit they can lose They 'believe Trinity's team ranks well In comparison but they are not forgetful of the nervous collapse of the Methodist eleven at Carolina last tail If the Methodist team holds Its nerve Trinity is pretty certain a victory will be realised Trinity fans are admltttdly pinning their hopes on Fred Shlpp a New Bern high school youth who Is one of the real stars turned out by the 1921 eastern champions Shlpp first entered State college in 1923 He did not remain In school however and this year 'entered THH' He Is a member of the fre-nan class To date he

She made one of the greatest In her history The university In the last few years had come to be looked upon most favorably by the people of the north They were beginning to look upon her as the outstanding Institution of the soutlk Tills Impression was fortified by my observations while a student at the Harvard Law school I remember how thrilled I was last year In particular by the glowing accounts of the Yale-North Carolina eame carried by the press of the east North Carolina papers In writing up a North Carolina victory over Virginia could scarcely have been more profuse In praise standing In the east a great "As the result of the univer sity's standing In the east a great crowd of almost 30000 people the greatest first day crowd In the history of Yale was present to see the battle of last Satur-duy This crowd which had coin together from all over the east expected to witness a real gunie one commensurate with the rank of the two institutions What must have been the feel-ings of that great throng at the end of the game? Surely the prestige which the university lutd gained In past years must have vanished I have no criticism to make of the boys who played that game I know they gave the best they had But did the university give her best "Last Saturday I was talking to a former BuckneU player Ills remark was to the effect that he didn't think It was very good sportsmanship on the part of North Carolina to send her second string men against Yale I defended the university as best I could But after all was It real sportsmanship? Drop Yale If you want or let Yale drop us but so long as we are facing a Yale team let us give our best I care not how many vlo tories it might cost us In the south We can afford to lose to one another we can afford to be defeated by northern teams hut we cannot afford not to gtve our best especially in an Inter-sectional struggle In such a game we are representing not merely a great state and a great university but we are representing the south and southern football and southern sportsmanship "I hate to criticise the athletlo policy of the university but I think It la the duty of her sons to do so when they think that policy Is subversive of the Ideals of Uie institution I am afraid It will be many a day before the university will cease hearing of the Yale game Those In charge of her athletic policy have done her a very great injury HOKE BLACK IN NEW SEATS FOR LI To evaporate one cubic foot water requires the consumption of seven and a half pounds of coal II BIG CROWDS TODAY
