THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1930 Duke and Carolina Clash at Hill Today for State Grid Honors ELEVENS RATED ON EVEN TERMS FOR TITLE PLAY Feature Contest of To Draw Curtain On Grid Season in State OVER 20,000 EXPECTED TO VIEW CLASH AT HILL R. Weather Man Indicates Rain During Day; Both Teams to Have Full Power; Carolina to Start 'Big Four' Backfield Game Marks Swan Song For D'Hart at Duke By ANTHONY J. McKEVLIN. There'd be no use starting off this story by remarking that today's the day, 2:30 the time, and Kenan Stadium the place for the Duke-Carolina battle for State football championship.

That's what everyone who ever heard of this game called footballor ever heard of Duke and Carolina -has known and have been talking about for lo these many weeks. In the way of developments of terday concerning the title battle of chief interest was Weather Man Lee Denson's sad forecast of rain. He hated to do it, and he said so, but he had to go by the symptoms or whatever it is and Mr. Denson predicted that there'd be some rain today. He hoped it wouldn't be much.

The rain began last night and grid Man hoping business, hoping fans started, joining the Weather it'd be over before today's game. Duke gridders had a holiday terday while, Carolina's squad went through drill in which all of the players participated. Each team will have its full roster for today's game although there was some doubt last night whether House Houston, Tar Heel fullbacks, would be at top physical form. Recurrence of old leg injuries hampered them a bit in workouts during the week. Expect Over 20,000.

Over 20,000 fans are expected to Bee the game and advance sale of seats last night was reported as having passed the 14,000 mark by sundown. The game is the feature of the year's program in the State and no game in grid history of the State has attracted, so much attention. Which'll It Be? The teams are doped even for the title clash today, and even the prospect of rain had little effect en the forecasting of a closely fought battle with victory having an even shot of swinging either way. Partisans were as numerous as football fans yesterday but few had anything more than hunches and loyalty on which to base their claims or hopes for victory for the favored. Duke is conceded to have a better line, on the face of season's performance.

But the Carolina line looked quite nifty against Virginia and the Tar Heels ought to get in today their best game of the year. The Carolina outfit, on the other hand, undoubted: ly has the advantage, in quantity and quality of men, Duke's chief offensive hope is Bill Murray, halfback from Rocky Mount. His main aide in the Devils' ground game is Kid Brewer of WinstonSalem, while Lowell Mason of Charlotte will figure prominently in any overhead stuff attempted by the Devils. Heels Start "Big Four." Carolina proposes to start its most versatile backfield and most experi-Branch, affords Magner, Chuck Mash Collins and House, a pair of triple-threat men in Branch and Magner, while Nash and House are versatile backs and each ie liable to figure on the receiving end of passes. A rainy afternoon was seen as curb to Carolina's air game, but likewise it wouldn't help the Blue Devils' running attack or any aerials attempted by the Dukemen.

Sloppy weather would have results barmful in equal portion to both teams. Swan Song for D'Hart. Today's game will mark Jimmy DeHart's swan song as Duke's grid coach. Next year Wallace Wale will be at the helm of the Blue Devil grid ship. But today the little man who has coached Duke teams for five seasons will be the skipper and run of the fans without any partisan interest in the battle are hoping for Jimmy to conclude his days Duke with a victory over Carolinathe fret the Blue Devils over the Heels in the modern grid series going back to 1922.

If Duke turns back Carolina toBay, DeHart's final season will end with the team sporting nine triumphs and only loss to South Carolina in the opening game of the season and a tie with Wake Forest on an otherwise perfect record. But even St the Devils lose, DeHart leaves behind a fine record--the best ever made by a Duke team. A Blue Devil win today will put Wallace Wade in the position shooting at the record of his predecessor-not an enviable position. Hunch Here Says Duke. Hunches aren't worth anything 8 pawn shop, but the hunch with which we put this story to bed that today Duke will get its first football victory over Carolina and next season Wallace Wade will hare a helluva high mark to be shooting at at Duke.

Los Angeles, Dec. 5-(UP)-Notre Dame and Southern California will meet in a titanic football struggle in the Coliseum tomorrow with the almost undisputed national gridiron championship at stake. A crowd of 90,000 will witness the fifth consecutive meeting of these two teams, while millions of football fans throughout the nation will eagerly await the outcome of a battle that perhaps has attracted more interest than any other one football game in history. Southern California ruled a 10 to 8 betting favorite tonight, with indications that the odds might even go greater. Fair Weather Indicated.

Fair skies and moderate temperatures, with light variable winds, is the weather forecast for tomorrow, making playing conditions ideal. Notre Dame i is unbeaten and united, having run up a string of 18 straight victories during the past two seasons. Southern California suffered an early 7-6 defeat at the hands Washington but the Trojans have since reached' heights which prove that setback vis no indication of their present strength. Scoring 382 points in nine games, Southern California leads the entire nation in scoring. Defensively, the Trojans seem equally strong, having had only six touchdowns scored against them, two of which were made against the reserves.

Offensive Battle. All indications point to a strictly offensive battle, with both teams attempting to score early and often. Both coaches, Howard Jones and Knute Rockne, openly admit that they plan to have their teams play offensive ball. Physically, Southern California seems to have the edge. Whereas Notre Dame is going into its third hard test in succession.

Southern California has had ten days to get in shape after a 32-0 victory over Washington Thanksgiving Day. Southern California will carry an advantage in weight, the Trojans averaging 189 pounds per man to 183 for the Irish. Most of this weight is concentrated in the Never before have as many allAmerica candidates been pitted against each other in one game. Each team has perhaps half a dozen men bidding for All- berths, with Ernie Pinckert, Orville Mohler, Marshall Duffield, John Baker, Garrett Arbelbide and Ralph Wilcox outstanding for Southern California, and Frank Carideo, Marchy Schwartz, Martin Brill, Bert Metzger and Tom Conley foremost for Notre Dame, Every type of offensive play is expected in this grand finale between two of the nation's greatest elevens. Trojans Strong on Backs.

Southern California's ruthless offensive, which wrecked Califoria, 74-0, and Stanford, 41-12, featured Duffield, Mohler and Pinckert as ball carriers, Duffield and Mohler, alternating, of quarterbacks, the do ball-carrying, about while Pinckert is used principally on reserves to the weak, side. Musick, 195-pound fullback, used almost solely a line plunger. Apsit, the other back, does not carry the ball, being used exclusively as a blocker. Mohler, who has gained 979 yards from scrimmage in nine games, an average of 7.2 yards every time he has carried the ball, seems to be the Trojans' most, dangerous man. Mohler, only sophomore, weighs but 163 pounds and is a will o' wisp in the open.

Irish Fullback Low. The loss of Larry Mullins, regular fullback who injured his knee in the Army game, is certain to handicap Notre Dame in many respects. has But Dan Hanley, sophomore who replaced him, is expected to add offensive strength to the Irish. Hanley, weighing 195, is very fast. Schwartz, whose long runs won the Northwestern and Army games, bowever, remains Notre Dame's principal offensive threat.

Notre Dame in previous games against Southern California has almade effective use of the forways ward pass, winning the first game in 1926 on two long passes by lefthanded Art Parisienne in the last few minutes of "One Play Johnny" O'Brien Notre Dame's greatest pass receiver, is likely. to be held in reserve and sent into the game at a strategic moment as was the case two years ago when he won the Army game by catching a pass on the only play he was in during the game. About Extra Points. Three of the games lost to Notre Dame by Southern California have been a single point, and this year's Trojans' teams is again notoriously weak on kicking the extra point. Southern California has verted only 55 per cent of its attempts at goal in nine games this year.

Frank Carideo, Notre Dame's brainy little quarterback has kicked 24 out of 29 attempts, and the last ten in succession. SEVEN TAR HEELS LAND ON COLLINS' -STATE Carolina Coach Picks All Tar Heels Save Rosky, Davis, Cobb and Murray Chapel Hill, Dec. Tar Heels received All-State preference of their coach, as Chuck Collins announced his All-State team here tonight, on the eve of Carolina's game with Duke. Collins' All-State shows Rosky, Duke; and Parsley, Carolina, ends; Cobb, State; and MeDade, Carolina, tackles; Captain Davis, Duke; and Fysal, Carolina, guards; Lipscomb, Carolina, center; Branch, Carolina, quarter; Magner, Carolina; and Murray, Duke, halfbacks; and House, Carolina, fullback. Sport Scratches By Reynolds TRY'AN GET IT CAR STATE TITLE WELL TODAY'S "THE DAY" CLEM SON STILL ANGLES ROUNDER WAY AT FOR STATE CODY House and Kid Brewer to Vie for Fullback Honors Carolina and Duke Rated Best Fullbacks in Big Five By Slaughter (This is the sixth of a series of articles dealing with outstanding candidates for consideration of fans in the balloting for The News and Observer's Fifth Annual All-State Team, voting in which opens next week.

The next article will discuss the halfbacks.) By "BUTCH" SLAUGHTER. 5 Be 3 YEAR The race for. fullback honors in Fans' All-State voting will in all likelihood be a two-cornered affair between Henry House, Carolina's No. 1 fullback, and Kid Brewer, who divides his time between fullback and halfback at Duke. Brewer, while he has started most games for Duke at halfback, has played as much time in the fullback position and in the last two games' he has been the starting fullback and will start at that job against Carolina today.

He has played practically every minute of every game on the Duke schedule and in that respect has the edge on, House in that he has had more opportunity to show his wares, which of course meant he had more tests too. The fullback position on a football team is a hard one to fill. A man qualified for this job must have offensive and defensive ability lore. When a team on offense needs a couple of yards, the fullback is the old dependability and must make the ground whether or not the hole is opened for him. To do this, takes a man with size, speed and "guts." He must be a battering ram with plenty of physical stamina.

Just as soon as the team shifts to defense the fullback is again asked to do more than the average amount of work. A great defensive fullback can wreck any offense. A fullback goes with the ball and is supposed to be the "man of the moment" when making the tackles. When playing against a real defensive fullback, it seems as if he is everywhere. Others Have Backers.

The Big Five fullbacks other than House and Brewer will have their backers, too, and each of them Las provided worry and trouble for opposing lines this season. State offers Charlie Jeffrey and Sam Gurneau; Davidson presents Brohard; Wake Forest has Walter Covington and Bradley, and Duke also has Ershler to offer in addition to Brewer. Main Rivals Clash Today. House has the goods. The Carolina fullback has drive, size, speed, defensive abilities and the power necessary for a good man at the job.

He's also plenty fast and in addition is a good pass receiver. Brewer handles the ball well in the fullback position of Duke's offensire formation. He also is a good defensive man, but is not used constantly in the fullback position on defense. He has an advantage over most fullbacks in that he has abilities necessary to a halfback which he uses well after passing the line of scrimmage. This pair leading candidates for the State fullback job clash today and that ought to throw some additional light on their relative Brohard is a far better back than on the offense.

The two State fullbacks, Jeffrey and Gurneau, are sophs with great potentialities but 80 far neither is proficient enough to rank All-State consideration. Covington of Wake Forest is an excellent man but his trick knee has kept him out of action much of the time and this hasn't helped him any in keeping before the fans. He runs and bueks well. Defensively he is good and has shown fine ability in backing up the line for the Deacons. This boy figures in the Deacon passing attack both as tosser and receiver and can deliver.

Reserves today showed the way to Carolina's varsity for the Duke game tomorrow by rising to the heights and making a great, courageous defensive stand to hold Kiski's famous prep eleven, conquerors of Army and Navy Plebes, to a scoreless tie.

Kiski had the yardage honors and led in first downs by 15 to 5. The reserves, great stand against the big, smart prep school leaders, however, gave the Tar Heels last ditch defensive laurels. Kiski threatened seriously five times, the reserves holding once on the 7-yard line and again on the 2-yard line, with Frank Smith, hefty tackle, and Tom Alexander doing the best work. The reserves held the defense through the whole game, getting but five first downs, all on passes, off Kiski's fine line, but the Tar Heels fought to the last and made a big last minute threat. Bridgers recovered a fumble on the 32-yard line on the one, ba'd pass from Kiski's center.

Lassiter passed to Daniels for 35 yards to Bridgers for 15, and the Tar Heels were withing 15 yards of a last quarter score when the coaches began throwing in subs. Croom's passing was the reserves' other offensive threat. Hamilton, halfback, and baugh and Bettridge, substitutes, split honors for a fast, bard running set of Kiski backs, who displayed clever running attack exceptionally, brilliant set of passes behind the line. The whole Kiski line blocked well and played outstanding ball on defense, stopping everything but the reserves' passes. Malcolm and Ormiston were particularly outstanding.

Coaches Mark Anthony and Bob Sides of the Atlantic Christian and Rocky Mount aggregations, respectively, played out the game, with the local coach accounting for the first score after a 20-yard pass completed from Sides to Dawson followed by plunges by Herring ando the final eight-yard dash through the whole defense by the coach for the touchdown. Uzzel made the tally for the invaders right on the heels of the Rocky Mount score after completed passes from Uzzel, the quarterback, to Merritt and Denny had placed the ball deep in Rocky Mount territory.

Not M'Namee Graham McNamee, radio announcer, is not scheduled to attend the Duke-Carolina game today. Stories from Chapel Hill in recent days have stated the ailnouncer and Mrs. McNamee would be among Governor Gardner's guests. And the error due to the way things sometimes sound over the telephone. Recently University officials inquired of the Governor by 'phone as his guests for the game.

Among guests he mentioned "Mr. and Mrs. Graham Anthony, of Hartford, Conn." It must have sounded like McNamee on the other end. Graham Anthony, nephew of Governor Gardner, is a former N. C.

REN OLDS Wisconsin Uses Clever Legal Block By SOL METZGER.

There can be no personal contact or body blocking in basketball. But any player is entitled to his position. Take Wisconsin's attack, an extremely clever one conceived by its master strategist, Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, and one sees how nicely the legal block play can be worked.

Here is a sample: The Wisconsin right guard, No. 5. has the ball in the back court. It's a set play. And as the right forward, No.

2, swings back to take the pass forward from No. 5, the left forward, No. 1, comes straight across court. Both their opponents are between them and the basket. Meanwell has seized.

upon their position in this situation for a smart play. As 2 receives the pass from 5 he tosses the ball to No. 1 and then runs around No. 1, the latter ing his back to his immediate guard and passing the ball back to No. 2.

Note in the sketch how these moves block the two opponents at this part of court from rushing No. 2. Note, also, the rushes of No. 5 and No. 3 to clear the mid-court area for No.

2's dribble to the basket and to bring them to it from two other points SO there will be three Badgers on hand for any possible rebound in case No. 2 misses his try for goal after his dribble.

BILL CLARKSON BOUGHT BY BALTIMORE ORIOLES International League Club Purchases Raleigh Hurler From Texas Team Bill Clarkson, Raleigh resident and former major league hurler, will wear the uniform of the Baltimore Orioles of the International League next season. Clarkson was obtained by the Orioles from Fort Worth of the Texas League, the sale being consummated at the baseball confab at Montreal terminating yesterday.

Bill pitched for the Texas club last summer. Bill started his pro career with Norfolk in the Virginia League back in 1924, and was sold by the Tars to the Giants for $10,000. He was farmed to AA ball "for seasoning and then -appeared in the National with the Giants and later with the Braves. In the spring of 1929 when Clarkson couldn't come to terms with Owner Emil Fuchs about salary, the Boston club sent the Raleigh pitcher to Baltimore and there he had such a good year that the Orioles sought to buy him. However, Boston sold Clarkson last December to Fort Worth and now the Orioles have stepped in to put through the deal they tenn-ht to make a FART an Montreal, Dec.

four days of verbal fireworks, the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues brought its 29th annual convention to a calm and ruffled close today. About the only official business transacted at the final meeting was the appointment a committee, headed by J. H. Farrell of Auburn, N. secretary and treasurer of the National Association, to reyise and clarify the by-laws of the National Association agreement.

Members of the committee included Thomas J. Hickey, of Chicago, J. Calewing of Oakland, W. G. Bramham of Durham, Warren C.

Giles of Rochester, N. W. D. Smith, of Birmingham, and Ross Harriott of Terre Haute, Ind. The draft question, at the boiling point all week, settled down to nothing more than a steady simmer as minor league representatives expressed confidence that the controversy between the majors and the five nondraft leagues would be settled amicably within a few weeks.

Most baseball men here were inclined to lieve that the disputants would get together at New York, probably on Monday, and that each would concede enough to satisfy the other. The joint major league meeting will held in New York next week. Although officially committee of nine appointed by the Three Class AA Leagues, the American Association, International and Pacific Coast leagues, was the only body known be empowered to treat with the majors should they desire a conference on the question, it was understood that representatives from other classifications, and would be in New York to join in any discussion that might arise. It was pointed out that any decision majors and the AA leagues might make would have to be ratified The National Association as a whole, and that therefore each classification is entitled to representation. There seemed to be no question that the non-draft leagues were agreeable to the universal draft der certain conditions.

It was thought these conditions would include draft price of around $15,000 with the minors privileged to retain player for two or three years fore he became eligible the draft, and further added condition that majors agree not to invade the leges and sandlots in their quest playing material. It was argued present financial difficulties in many minor leagues were due to the high prices the minors had to pay young players. This, it was declared, was the rect result of the majors' policy offering youngsters large sums sign a contract. Some of the major league clubs, notably the Cleveland Indians, were understood to be prepared to withdraw from their minor league terests so far as actual ownership and operation of clubs was concerned. They still are ready to aid minors, it was said, but not directly through the ownership of clubs.
