J.

McKEVLIN. Kenan Memorial Stadium, Chapel Hill, Sept. Forest's fouryear reign over the University of North Carolina's football clubs ended here this afternoon in an inglorious way as three dozen Tar Heels took turns in dipping their fingers in 65-0 victory, pie. Fifteen thousand fans were on hand to see the 24th renewal of the annual battle between the institutions, and exactly 15,000 persons were given huge surprises. They came to see a football game; Deacon supporters hopeful that their inexperienced team could cope with the more experienced Tar Heel first-stringers, and Carolina supporters here with feelings of victory but victory only by a reasonable margin.

In fact, they had their fears about this margin. But, the business of surprising was not long in unfolding. The first surprise came just as the game opened when the Baptists started what looked like it might be a permanent drive, being aided by a 15-yard penalty. There weren't any more surprises favorable to Deacon supporters. The rest of the surprise packages came in the way of six point counters which kept ane asking his neighbor what the score was unless he has his eyes glued to the score- board.

All Heels Look Alike. Chuck Collins, who todav saw his first victory over Wake Forest for the Heels since he has been head coach here, used three dozen players in compiling the record score. And the more players Chuck trotted on the field, the more scoring there was. Before it was over, Tar Heel supporters were convinced that advance coming from the Hill to the effect that there was no real firstteam was just about right. And others were marveling at the reserve strength of the Carolina eleven.

Deacons Fight Hard. Stanley Cofall's Deacons, made up in the main of sophomore talent, strove valiantly. They were ever in their fighting. There was no let on the part of the conquered even though the score kept mounting. They were a beaten team--from the standpoint of the inevitable scoreby the end of the first quarter.

But they were never beaten in spirit. They were still fighting hard at the final whistle. Cofall, too, made a number of substitutions, using, just nine less men than Collins. the Wake Forest substitutions were in an effort to check the Heels, and this proved to be something that couldn't be done today. Deacon Left Side Weakest.

Carolina's charging line ripped gaping holes in the Deacon defense on occasions without number. However, most of those holes were made in the left side of the Baptists' line. Gregson, guard, and Dorsett, end, proved defensive stars on the right side of the losers' forward wall. Phifer, center who got in action when Parker was injured, likewise stood out on the defense. The Tar Heel line was charging hard and effectively.

The big defensive stand by the Deacons came early in the game when they braced within six yards of their goal to check a Tar Heel drive which had traveled 63 yards and which seemed headed for the first score of the game. Pass Gets First Score. However, this determined stand went for naught a bit later when the Tar Heels began a new drive which culminated in a pass, Ward to Sapp, for 15 yards followed by Sapp's 10-yard jaunt over the goal line. No one was near the Tar Heel end on the play. This was but one instance in which the Deacons displayed a poor defensive for the forward passing attack of the Tar Heels, which was called into play on quite frequent occasions.

The first Tar Heel score came in the first eight minutes of play and this touchdown, it as turned out, was enough for vietory. Plenty Deservers of Glory. It would not do to attempt to list the leading lights for the Tar Heels. It would be well nigh to call the roll of the men who saw action in the backfield, and practically all of those who into the fray as linemen. Chuek Collins used assorted beckfield combinations today and all clicked well.

The team's interference was smooth, and they made it 8 habit to keep it so. Fairly long runs were numerous, with Jimmy Ward, Phil Jackson, Strud Nash, Spaulding, Foard -it's no use to (Please Turn to Page 2-0) STATE GAVE ELON DAT I DOY RIGHT AN UNHOLY LICKIN1 YOU UNC An DONT FRIDAY GONNA ANYTHIN AND MEAN WINT THAT'S THAT SURVEYS EARLY IN AN TO THE WEEK POINTED LARGE CROWDS FOR THE CLOM -UMC-WE GAMESSTATE WAS COMCEDED WAS TO WIN BUT DETTING ABOUT even ON UNC AND WF OH OH POOR JINX OLD YANKS THURS- WITH 100 WOM DAY 57 LOSS AND A MORSONS PCT, OF 657 THEY APEX DONE NOTHIN' FRIDAY BUT TAKE TH' A.M.

HIGH PLAYED JACK, THE GIANT FURMAN REYN KILLER 6 OLDS TERRIERS DEFEAT PANTHER ELEVEN High Point College Makes Game Fight But Loses To Wofford, 7 To 0 (Special to The News and Observer) Spartanburg, 8. Sept.

Wofford offense of four ping and hard-driving backs ripped and tore High Point's purpleJerseyed defense to shreds for tal of 16 first downs and many long gains spelled the downfall of the Purple Panthers from the Carolina College here this afternoon in a game of thrills and color that ended 7-0 in favor of the Terriers. Score in Final Quarter. It was nip and tuck for the first three quarters, with neither team scoring. Wofford outgained the Panthers on the offense and was in possession of the ball almost continuously, but High Point rallied when holding counted and kept the Terriers from putting across score until the first part of the fourth quarter, when a succession of brilliant runs put the ball on the Panther tenyard line and short pass from Kennedy to Finney put across the only touchdown of the game. Dargan place wicked for the extra point.

Finney's line plunging, Kennedy's returning of punts and broken field running for Wofford and Mitchell's punting and Captain Thompson's stellar line play for High Point featured the game. High Point WAS minus the services of Nygard, varsity center, and Finney took advantage of the hole through center for plunge after plunge. It was Wofford's first game and the second the season for High Point.

TAR HEELS MAKE UP LOST CHANCES Collins' Charges Treat Class of '32 To Treat Denied Class of '28 GAME HAS Scribe Finds Bright Spots in The Event; 'Governors' See It Through By R.

E. WILLIAMS Staff Correspondent Chapel Hill, Sept. class of 1928 graduated from the University without ever having seen football victory over Wake Forest, but the class of 1932 today was treated to a rout complete enough to last them through thir college life, no matter what the next three years may hold in store. Carolina was emphatically tired of being licked by Wake Forest and the score of 65 to 0 today was not too much for those supporters who sat through last four games. Wake Forest supporters with the same experience could from it some consolation which fainter draw, and fainter as the figures on the scoreboard mounted to the point where it began to look as If the failure to provide space for three numerals might have been a serious oversight.

So, it was with those Individuals who merely exist for 42 weeks during each year and who really come into their Own during the brief portion of the calendar in which thrive the gridiron devotees of football, whose intensity seems to surpass that of any other species of camp followers. But, Not So With Others But most of those present were so much concerned about the fact that the University of North Carolina was giving Wake Forest the worst licking in all the long history of football games between the two institutions. What they were thinking about was that they had come to see a real contest between two teams that since the war have always been nearly evenly matched with the exception of the 1922 game at Goldsboro, which the University won by a score of 62 to 3, a record for all time until todoInstead of that they saw one team become completel- demoralized under a swelling tide of touchdowns, which a small army of substitutes for the losers could not stem and which an even larger supply of fresh material for the victors did not impair. Ties Record University Score Carolina today equalled the highest score ever made by a University team, a 65 to 0 win being registered for the first time against the Medical College of Virginia in 1914. However, a large part of the crowd did not see all of that scoring.

The fourth period began with the record of the slaughter reading 45. to 0 and with many pepole seeking the exits. By the time that one of the final quarter's three touchdowns had been scored, those departing included many of the Cheerios, the University cheering section, not even those dauntless followers of their (Please Turn to Page 2-0) READY FOR YANKS NOW St. Lonis Ab.

ROCKNE MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN HIS SAD TALK Notre Dame Turns Fumble Into Score To Defeat Loyola, New Orleans South Bend, Sept. -The luck of the Irish proved too much for Loyola University of New Orleans today when Coach Knute Rockne's Notre Dame warriors turned a last-minute, break into 8 touchdown and a 12 to 6 victory. A fumble by Lopez Loyola, quarterback, shortly before the end of the game paved the way for the Irish score.

Notre Dame recovered the ball on Loyola's 23-yard line and immediately unleashed a series of passes that put the ball within a yard of the goal. Shay then crashed through the line for the winning points. Loyola led at the end of the Arst half 6 to 0, but a 45-yard run for a touchdown by Johnny Elder, fleet Notre Dame track star, tied the score early in the third quarter. During the foutr period the Southerners played a defensive game, hoping only for a tie with the redoubtble Irish. Loyola's touchdown was scored near the end of the second quarter, after a sustained drive from mid-field.

But a few minutes later, a ly timed pass McMillan to Asbill for 20 yards over Davidson's goal line netted the only points lied. The game was not abounding in sensational dashes, but it was full of thrills as the Davidson Wildcats fought gamely and determinedly to in check. Their staunch within hold the powerful Clemson, players the shadow of their own goal and the stamina with which they stood the hammering of Clemson's eleven strong men, made the hearts of sympathetic Clemson fans go out to fighting players. Davidson was seldom able to pierce their opponents line, Clemson's Tigers seeping through to nail the backs before they made good starts, or stopping Wildcat ball carriers on the line.

The longest gain from the line of scrimmage for Davidson was 13 yards when Kell went off tackle. The visitors obtained but four first downs, while the Tigers chalked up eight. The Wildcats were on the defensive most of the last half and it seemed as it the home boys were headed toward another touchdown when the game ended, the ball in Clemson's possession on Davidson's 014 yard line. They had just made three suecessive first downs, gaining 46 yards in the march.

Louis won the hottest National League pennant fight in 20 years by the Cubs' 6 to 2 victory over the Giants in New York today but the Cardinals made assurance doubly sure defeating the Braves in this city by score of 8 to 1.

To take their only previous National League flag two years ago, the Cardinals had to fight until Friday, with a Sunday finish, but this year's contest held on one day longer.

The Cubs of 20 years ago finishel the regular season with 153 games playand in a tie with the Giants who had engaged in the same number, The Cubs then invaded New York the day after the regular finish and won from the Giants by in a play off of the tie game caused by Merkle's famous failure to touch second.

The Braves got their only run off Sherdel in the 7th. The victory of the Cards and the defeat Giants Increased McKechnie's lead to three full games with only one more to play for each contender.

over the Giants today were brief and simple. The Cubs romped through a Harlem drizzle to defeat the home forces by 6 to 2, and tho young men of John Joseph McGraw were out of the race for good and all. The Cards would have clinched the flag about one hour later anyhow their 3 to 1 conquest of the Boston Braves, but the Giants had any satisfaction which may have accrued from losing it in person. The Cardinals jumped into a lead of three full games, and started immediately the Poro Grounds where they will finish off the paign with a single skirmish against the gallant Giants tomorrow.
