SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1928. PRICE: SUNDAY. FIVE TEN CENTS Carolina Scores in Last Minute to Gain Tie With State; Duke Defeats Mercer; Michigan Upsets Vaunted Illinois GRAY GETS PASS OVER GOAL LINE IN LAST MINUTE Maus Tosses Long Heave To Substitute for 30-Yard Gain and 6-6 Deadlock JORDAN BLOCKED PUNT FOR TECH TOUCHDOWN Silver's 60-Yard Run With Intercepted Pass Precedes Blocked Punt; Teams Stage Heotio Fight in Annual Clash; Both Elevens Miss in Several Scoring Chances By A. J. McKEVLIN (News and Observer Sports Editor.) A last minute pass for 80 yards staved off seemingly certain defeat and gave Carolina's Tar Heels A Carolina State on Riddick Field yesdeadlock with the Wolfpack of North, terday afternoon in the 91st -meeting of grid teams of the two State institutions.

The pass climaxed an odd football game, which had kept 10,000 fans on the edges of their seats Or on tiptoes during most of the 60 minutes of actual play. The pass gave the Tar Heels a tie and an opportunity to win, but Jimmy Maus' attempted dropkick for extra point had to be gotten off hurredly Pack forwards rushed in and his boot never passed the line of scrimmage. State was determined that the point was not to be made, and were rushing through with the Arst twitch of the ball by Schwartz, Tar Heel center. As result the pass to Mans was none too good. The game ended with Maus' dropkick try.

The long pass-a pretty heave by Jimmy Maus into the waiting hands of Mac Gray, sub, who had just been sent into the game--was the final shot in a barrage of aerial artillery laid down by the Tar Heels in desperate overhead effort to fight their way out of the valley of defeat. It ended an aerial drive which had begun on the Tar Heels' own 15-yard line. State Blocked Pant to Score. State had scored its touchdown In the very last minute of the frat half when Jake Jordan, State end, broke through and blocked Farris' attempt to punt from behind Carolina's goal line. The ball bounded off Jordan's hands into the air and the Tech wingman folded in for a touchdown.

Floyd's placekick effort bad, the ball not getting higher than several feet from the ground. Silver to Front. George Silver, red-headed end from the mountain section of Tar Heelia, and was was starting his frat varsity game yesterday, had much to do with the scoring of the Pack's touchdown, even if it was his fellow wingman who turned in the blocking and recovering for the actual score. few minutes from the end of the half Carolina had the ball Inside State's 40-yard line. Maus tried pass, which Crum knocked down, but which Silver grabbed before it reached the earth.

The redheaded lad headed for the Heels' goal and soon had outstepped all opposition. Three Techs gathered around him to aid his cause, but the lad from the mountains was not equal to the situation. He literally ran his tongue out, but his stride was uncertain in spots and Erickson ran him down from behind to stop the roalward sprint on the 16-yard line. Heels Had Just Held for Downs. This gave State good scoring chance, but pass failed, Captain Warren made five yards, Adama gained two, and on the fourth the ball when went Presson over on the Melton yard line stopped the latter tried to skirt the right side of the Heel defense.

Carolina got the ball on its own six-yard line. Magner went off -tackle for four yards. For some reason or other Quarterback Erickson decided that the thing to do at this juncture WAS to punt. Farris was sent back behind the goal line, but his punting intentions were smeared by Mr. Jordan -presto! had scored.

There was no reason in the world to punt at that stage of things. The Heels still bad three downs to go. and could have fignished the half with a couple of harmless line plays and thus been assured of a scoreless tie at intermission. Erickson evidently had no idea of how much time remained; he could hardly have called for such a play, and Captain Schwartz would hardly have let such move go by without intervention, it the Heels had ascertained how much time remained. Of course Carolina supporters spent the intermission raising the roof about this foolish play, and as State remained in the.

lead during the second half and even to the final moments of play the Heel supporters continued to mumble to themselves and their neighbors. But then came the last-minute pass and its touchdown, and there was happiness again in Tar Heel ranks. It was a desperate aerial effort, but it succeeded. Game Is HeartThe game would have put anyone's heart to full test. First things swung this way, and then the other.

The two teams drat met on the gridiron back 1903, and since that first engagement have battled it out 16 times at almost annual intervals. Of the 16 games on the books, the Tar Heels have won just an even dozen while losing two and tying pair of tough contests. History gives the Old North State the edge; for, in addition to the overwhelming margin of games won and lost, the Tar Heels have scored 242.

points against 48 counted by their Palmetto State rivals. However, most of the South Carolina scoring has been done in recant years, and the game nOW ranks among the tough titles on the North Carolina schedule each year. It took the Gamecocks 21 years to win game, and there were just two tie scraps in the meantime. The Tar Heels won the first five games by margins of from three to five touchdowns, with South Carolina registering her first score in the 27 to 6 game of 1910. The first of two tied battles came in 1912 when each team pushed over oine touchdown, but the Tar Heels won In 1913 and 1914, with the latter victory counting 48 to 0 margin.

It was the last meeting until after the World War, BUIE TOPS DUKE IN VICTORY OVER MERCER'S BEARS WOLFPACK UPSET PRE-GAME STUFF West Raleigh Boys Were Doped To Lose; Heels Have Edge in Statistics The Wolfpack of N. C. State treated the dopesters to a ride yesterday they all but defeated the University North Carolina eleven and got 6-6 tie an a result of Carolina's successful last-minute passing attack. The "Pack had been doped to lose, but no one expected the Heels to do very much sooring against the strong defense of the West Raleigh boys. State's offensive was not conceded to be on par with that of the Heels in pre-game doping.

As result there were many who laid out the long green and spotted State to points, there were many others who were willing to riak their wagers all-even on the game. Heels Have Figure Any time the team doped he lose comes through with a tie it ought to go under the old classification of "moral victory." That's what State got yesterday. The only consolation the Tar Heels can find is in the fact that they did avert defeat. Statistics on the game give Carolina the edge. The Heels made 18 first downs to seven for State.

Carolina gained 193 yards on the ground, while State gained 120 in that fashion. The 'Pack completed three passes for 88 yarda, had two incomplete and two intercepted. Carolina made for 144 yards, had three intercepted and 19 incompleted. Ray Farris came through with his best punting, of the season for the Heels, boots getting total of 446 yards, oF average of 40 yards, Agured from the line of sorimmage. Bob Warren's 19 punts went for 889 yards, an average of 82 yards.

Cleanly Played Game. Carolina lost total of 44 yards on line plays, while State lost only 15 yards. The Tar Heels were penalized 40 yards in all, while State had only penalty yards for offside. There no penalties in the game of more than Ave yards, and several of those on the Heels were for extra, incompleted passes. It was but cleanly fought one.

Bule, ably assisted by Jankoski and other members of the Duke University eleven, passed Mercer to death here this afternoon and the Blue Devils defeated the Bears from Georgia by the score 38 to 18. It was Buie's mighty serial thrusts that spelled defeat for the visitors, his poses being accurate and ly. Jankoakd ably supported the Methodist Meld general in that he crossed the Mercer goal line on three occasions, one time more than Buie was able to go soross. Hollingsworth registered the other sore for the Methodists.

Mercer presented a very baffling triple lateral pass which resulted in two touchdowns, one time leading to an 81 yard run by Matt and the other to 64-yard gallop by Newsome, both of which resulted in touchdo was.

Michigan Upsets Illinois By Margin of Field Goal Gembis' Kick In First Quarter Gives Much Whipped Wolverines a Win Ann Arbor, Nov. loser, Michigan's muchwhipped Wolverines turned the Big Ten dope bucket upside down today by nosing out Illinois 3 to 0.

The Wolverines smothered the much-vaunted Illinois line, and took advantage of a first quarter break to kick the feld goal for three-point margin to which they held throughout the remainder of the game. Gembis, Michigan fullback, booted the feld goal after Dahlem had intercepted an Illinois pass and trav. eled 42 yards before being brought down on the visitor's 12-yard line. Opening an serial attack in the second period, the Wolverines completed heave which netted them 29 yards, but were forced to abandon the overhead game when a pair of passes were incomplete. Though unable to score further, Michigan clearly outplayed the Illini throughout the period.

Though they showed renewed strength during the third quarter Illinois was unable to produce scoring punch. Attempts at field goals by both Michigan and Illinois failed As the invaders fought desperately to score in the final quarter. Gembis attempted another pace kick from the Illinois 42-yard line, but the ball fell far short. An attempted drop kick by Peters, of Illinois, was wide. Functioning well on the attack in midfield, the Illinois line crumbled when it reached scoring territory, and Michigan turned back every threat.
