Raleigh, Oct. 14. Slated in all the dope sheets to lost by a wide margin to Bill Fetzer's veteran Carolina machine, the State College Wolfpack, minus the services of ten letter men from the 1921, team, green and woefully inexperienced when the training period opened this Fall, is now rapidly developing into a formidable eleven. Tech supporters, while loath to state outright that their favorites will make it three in a row from the University, freely predict that in the annual battle between the two State institutions at Raleigh, next Thursday of State Fair week, great gobU of dope will be spilled before the end of this bitter yet friend ly struggle. MI CH IMPROVED.

It goes without saying that State has shown marked improvement since the opening game of the season, but the same is also true of Carolina. Still, the Tar Heels were able to start the year almost at the point where they left off last season, while Coach Hartsell at State was confronted with the problem of building almost an entirely new team. It has been comparatively simpie for the Carolina coaching staff to bring the squad to top form eariy in the season, but the Tech mentors have been forced to waste a lot of valuable time in experimenting with tentative line-ups that -have been changed again and again. PACK IS READY. With the benefit of three games behind it, together with a whole lot of grueling work in the interim, the Wolfpack is ready and eager for battle.

No football squad anywhere has shown a better fighting spirit, and while it does not underestimate the formidable strength of the Blue and White there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of any number but that history will repeat itself again. The game next Thursday will be the fourth between the two teams since the resumption of athletic relations in 1919. Carolina won the first game, 13 to 12. In 1920 and in. 1921 State was the victor, the scores being IS to 3 and 7 to 0, respectively.

State scored again in the final period after an exchange of kicks had given them the ball in midfiekl.

Jeanentt clipped off 35 yards arond left end and Randolph immediately circled the other flank for the touchdown. Randolph then drop-kicked for the extra point.

Eleven inspired young Hawkeye warriors came out of the west today, and trampled football tradition in the mud as they romped over Yale, defenders of the prestige of lhe East, beating the Elis, 6 to 0. Before 40,000 spectators, greatest mid-October crowd the vast Yale bowl has ever encompassed, the University of Iowa's fast and heavy football team outplayed the Bulldog at moments when it counted, and scored a clean cut victory for West over East in the one big inter-sectional game of the year.

PLAYED LIKE DEMONS. At times, the visitors played like demons. Yale seemed slothful in comparison. When the Yellow and Black tacklers got their hands on the Eli back, the runner went down. Yale's attack was powerless until the very end of the game.

One play which the Hawkeyes uncorked saved them the game. It was a forward pass, in which the play was faked to the right, after which the end crossed through the Blue secondary defense to the left and caught a short toss. This play gained the visitors some 50 yards of vital distance. The game's lone score came as follows: Iowa got the ball in Yale territory on a fumble. After the Hawkeye attack had loosened up and gained a first down.

Parkin, who was doing most of the running for the visitors, skirted right end, and stumbling, slipping, but eluding Eli tacklers, fell and squirmed across the Yale goal line. Iowa was unable to convert the advantage into seven points, the try-for-point, a drop-kick, missing. Yale's attack lacked the fire which the Westerners had shown in their one big drive. The Hawkeye backfield smothered many a play that would have been good for a big gain against anything but the most airtight secondary defense. MRS.

HURD WINS. Newton, Oct. 14. The woman's golf championship of Greater Boston was won today by Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, of Balmont.

She defeated Mrs. L. Q. White, two and one. The game was a hectic affair, with Corsicana winning by a 51 3 score.

The winners drove out fifty-three base hits, and sixteen of these were homers. Besides Clarke, one player got three home runs and two others drove out two each. Old Sam Johnson the dictionary maker, used big words but usually hit the nail nearly on the head as when he wrote: "To be of no church is dangerous. Religion of which the rewards are distant, and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind, unless it be invigorated and re-impressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship and by the salutary influence of example."

The Baptises began to play like they were in a football game Heckman's presence seemed to instill a lot of pepper in erstwhile lagging cohorts. Wake Forest's defensive play picked up 50 per cent in this half.

Heckman was In the thick of everything. On the first plav he tore through the -vhole line. After that, it look about half the Davidson squad to stop him. Soon after Johnson made his preity run. Heckman sent a 55-yard kick to within the very shadows of the Davidson goal.

He stuck a mesri foot agv'nst that rail. Davidson missed Spratt Moore. Little open field work was attempted because of his absence. TTntil Johnson made hi-3 run, the Davidson spirit was much in evidence. It was not stilled long.

Once Dan was almost knocked out when he ran afoul of Heck-xnan.

It is estimated that 4,000 people were in the stands and on the field. It was a fine crowd when the weather was considered. It was cold out there and most of the game was played in a drizzle. The fans, who were all keyed up, didn't mind that, however. Tbat Heckman is a footoall player.

No wonder he was picked for all-state full back. He has lost the sight of one eye, but he stands put from the others anyway. He is the whole Wake Forest team. third period to tear its way down the field. The Army forwards, baffled until now in their play, ripped open Auburn's line until the cadets had shot back after back through it.

Finally on a pretty pass from Smythe to White the cadets were given the score which tied the game for a time, as a try for a goal was missed. Their appetite whetted, the Army players again launched a heavy attack and ring up two more touchdowns, Lawrence getting one and Smythe the other. Smythe made one of the trials at goal from placement. A rowd of 7,000 people witnessed the came, which was played in perfect football weather. Trinity Track Squad Works For Meetings Durham, Oct.

Clip and Save These Little Lessons For The Golfers By George O'Neil "Golf's Greatest Teacher," Says Harry Vardon. "O'Neil Made Me Champion," Says "Chick" Evans The stiff wrists in the iron shot yiell a truer pendulum stroke. Take the club up until it points straight up, then turn the stroke, and bring the club head down, gradually increasing the speed until the club-head attaining its maximum velocity as it snaps against the ball, whisks the ball away. The stroke, thus executed, produces that combination of pop and click which sounds so good to the ear.

Aim directly at the back of the ball. If the aim is true the clubhead will bite just a bit of turf. It is not the hitting of this small divot that seems to steady the ball, but rather the true aim and the pendulum snap that start the ball properly. The iron club grisp need not change from that for the woods, in fact, I think the same grip should be used for all strokes except putting. By far the more popular grip is the Vardon semi-interlocking, as pictured herewith.
