Florida Ga rings Ou 'GATOR HARRIERS L0SET0 HEELS SIDELIGHTS By Pha Alston eed Of A Scoring Punch GEORGIA CONTEST SLATED TO DRAW CAPACITY HOUSE Advance Ticket Sale Predicts Crowd of 20,000 Will Witness Homecoming Game. HINES CONQUERS FIELD IN MIDDLE ATUNTIC BATTLE Carolina Net Star Takes Second Leg Of Trophy; Pairs With Shuford To Win Doubles. Old Burleigh Grimes certainly put the bug on Connie's A's Saturday and killed Mack's chances of winning three consecutive world championships. After fanning three men in the seventh, however, Burleigh lost some of his stuff. Gabby Street just did yank him out of there in time, for the A's had two men on base, two runs in, and the head of the batting order coming up when Hallahan took the slab.

Not a pleasant situation for Wild Bill to face, but he picked up where Grimes had left off a little before and squelched the uprising. Pepper Martin lost his chance to break" the record for the greatest number of base hits in a World Series by fanning in the eighth. The Pepper's twelve hits in the first 'five erames of the series made him look like a sure bet to set a new record, but he ran into the same trouble that so many ball players have had during the past two years too much Grove and Earn-shaw. But just the same, when next season rolls around you can look at the salary list and you'll notice that a certain Mr Martin of the St. Louis Cardinals will get more than the $4500 he received this year.

It's quite possible that he will lead the hold-but army, too, for no ball player has ever yet been known to underestimate his worth. Notre Dame has at last seen a Saturday pass without its football team turning in a victory. Mud, rain, and Northwestern put a stop to the Ramblers' winning streak even though they weren't able to defeat the Irish. (Continued on last page) s- Homecoming Game With Geor gia Team Nears With Carolina Weak on Offense. Georgia's 26-7 triumph over Yale and Carolina's 0-0 tie with Florida have set the stage for 'what should be an epic Homecoming Day struggle between Georgia and Carolina here Saturday.

The Georgians' victory was conclusive. To them went the honor of being the first team outside of the "Big Three" ever to beat Yale the third year in a row, and they did it, four touchdowns to one, without ever un-limbering their biggest siege gun, "Ripper" Roberts' the fullback. The margin showed that the Bulldogs will probably bring the South's greatest offensive machine here Saturday. On the other hand, Carolina's scoreless tie with Florida, a team that ran wild against N. C.

State, substantiated the previously prevailing opinion that Carolina would put out a fine and stubborn line that would make Georgia show everything in its repertoire and produce a great game. The Tar Heels made a brilliant showing against Florida. Carolina was on Florida's one-foot line twice, within Florida's five-yard line a third time, and while Florida's line got credit for three brilliant stands," the obvious conclusion was that Carolina was lacking in scoring punch, or else Little Johnny Branch, star that he was, was picking plays or ball carriers in advertently. Carolina amply made up on defense, however. With Frank Smith, tackle; Erwin Walker and Ther on Brown, ends; and Ellis Fysal, guard, playing super-ball and the rest of two lines supporting splendidly, the Tar Heels held Rogero and the whole fine Florida offense to gains of sixty yards through the line, five yards around end, and twenty-three yards on passes, while breaking through to throw the Gator backs for losses of twenty-nine yards.

And they didn't wait for Florida to get down in dangerous territory. They smeared the Gator plays in mid-field and didn't let Florida make a single scoring threat. The Carolina backfield looked good in mid-field, gaining 243 yards from scrimmage to Flor ida's 88, with Branch leading with gains of sixty-seven yards, followed by Slusser with forty-seven. The left halfbacks failed again, however, and the whole backfield lacked the punch in the pinches when gains would have meant scores. As a result, the coaches will concentrate attention this week on developing "punch," for the Tar Heels want to play Georgia at their wide-open, power game, and will not be content with just holding Georgia, even if Georgia is the big team of the Conference this year.

mi 1 Entertainment Tickets C. T. Woollen, business manager of the University, announced yesterday that the student entertainment tickets for the students enrolled in the college of liberal arts, and the school of commerce and education, would be distributed four or five days prior to the first program. This occurs on October 30, when the old English musical play, The Beggar's Opera, by John Gay, will be presented. Sports Reporters Will the following men please see Jack Bessen Vtt the Tar Heel office today at 2:30: Jones, Morrie Long, J.

H. Morris, and Kasen. Jones and Hubbard Lead Caro lina Cross Country Team To 15 To 42 Win. The University of North Carolina cross-country team successfully invaded the lair of the 'Gators and returned with a overwhelming 15-42 victory. It was the first meet for both squads.

Mark Jones, Robert Hubbard, Edwin McRae, Captain Clarence Jensen, and Louis Sullivan finished in that order to give Carolina a perfect score. Smith, Ayers, Turrell, and Rice were the first Florida men to finish. The course started on the polo field adjoining the football stadium and covered three and a half miles, the contestants entering the' stadium and circling it once. Jones and Hubbard finished hand in hand to lead the field, covering the distance in 21.29, which is fair time considering the terrific heat of the day. Captain Jenson started off with a rush and led the field over half of the course but the Tar Heel leader was unable to maintain his dizzy pace and dropped back, relinquishing the lead to Jones and Hubbard.

Although they were greatly outclassed Saturday, the 'Gators showed promise of developing into real Conference threats. They had been practicing but a few weeks and were not in as good condition as the Tar Heels. The next opponent for the Tar Heels will be the Duke Blue Devils at Durham on November 21. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels will take things easy, smoothing out the rough spots and getting into condition. The summary: Jones (NC), 21.29; Hubbard (NC), 21.29; McRae (NC), 21.50; Jensen (NC), 21.50; Sullivan (NC), 22.04.8; Smith (F), 22.24; Ayers (F), 22.39; Turrell (FK 22.42.4; Rice (F), 22.55; Groover (NC), 23.31; Farris (NC), 23.42; Pratt (NC), ran unofficial; Colmes (F), 23.56; Schwab (F), 24.11; Hazeldine (F), 24.14; Burnett, ran official Paige, ran official.

Score: University of North Carolina, 15; Florida, 42; distance, 3 1-2 miles. ROOKIES DEFEAT FIRSTINE 16-1 Second Team Men Outplay Varsity Decisively; Longest Is In Good Condition. The second string baseball team walked away with a 16 to 1 victory over the first team Monday afternoon. This onesided contest, the second game of the fall practice, due to the excellent batting of the second team, and the rather poor playing of the first team's outfielders. The errors made by the first team give no reason for fearing a poor spring baseball season, because most of the fielders were rookies.

These men will have time to improve before the beginning of the playing season. Longest In Shape The good showing on the part of the second team was partly due to the spirit given them by the presence of Longest, captain of the ball team. He is in splendid condition, still baffling the batters with swiftly pitched balls. Before thej game opened, Longest gave the men a good workout at the plate, and at the start of the game he went in at short. At the end of the fourth inning he withdrew to be replaced by Leonard.

Every man on the second team was at his each player making at least one run. Some did exceptionally well, and de- (Continued on last page) TAR HEELS LOOK FOR HARD GAME AGAINST GEORGIA Carolina Points for Bulldog Contest To Revenge Last Year's 26 To 0 Drubbing. With the realization that it was a oetter team, but that breaks of the battle were for the Florida contingent, Chuck Collin's University of North Carolina football warriors began preparing for the Georgia game scheduled for this Saturday. That the toughest game of the season is in store for the Tar Heels is evident by the 26 to 7 beating the Georgians administered the boys romYale. The New Haven teamat the beginning of the season, was rated, by those who knew their football.

0 to be among the best of the nation, and the drubbing handed them speaks well for the retinue of gridmen from Athens. Two Men Injured Two serious injuries resulted in last week's fracas at Gainesville, Johnny Daniels, half, and Frank Smith, giant tackle from Lexington, being the casulaties. Daniels broke his ankle and will be lost for the remainder' of the season, while Smith twisted his knee, the extent of his injury not being known as yet. Besides the usual bruises and knocks, the Tar Heel squad survived the Florida brawl in good shape. Signal practice and kicking held the attention of the gridmen in yesterday's workout, passing being emphasized somewhat during the secret session held in Kenan stadium.

Our Line Strong Captain Roberts of Georgia will find the going tough against Carolina linemen if last Saturday's game is any criterion to judge by. Fysal, Gilbreath, Brown, and Walker played fine defensively, while Johnny Branch and Rip Slusser continued their flashy offensive work. If the play of some of the Tar Heels is as good at the end of the season as it is at the one- third mark. (JnucK, ooinns is bound to add a few all-confer ence men to Carolina's list. Intramural Results Chi Psi in Second Win With both teams being held scoreless for the first half, Chi Psi came through to score three touchdowns in the last half and.

win from Tau Epsilon Phi 18-6. Chi Psi's first touchdown came after Mclntyre had thrown a long pass to Dudley who crossed the goal. The second score was made early in the fourth quarter when Yauen blocked 'a kick behind Tau Epsilon Phi's goal and then fell on the ball. Chi Psi scored their last touchdown just as the, game, was over, Dudley carrying ball over on' a seventy-five "yard run behind perfect interference. Tau Epsilon Phi's only score was made when Hirsh side-stepped his way 4 for fifty yards to the zero line.

Old West Loses Close Game managed to push across a touchdown in the closing minutes of play to take a close game from Old West 6-0. Both teams played on even terms for the first three quarters with neither team making any serious threat to score. The only score came during the last few minutes of the game when Watson caught a and crossed the zero line with no one near him." The University authorities are expecting and preparing to handle a crowd of 20,000 Saturday, for advance sales of tickets indicates that the Carolina-Georgia Homecoming Day game in Kenan Stadium will draw one of the state's largest, football crowds of the year.

Special attention is being given to precautions to handle the traffic. Every parking ground was put in tip-top shape last week, and a small army of students has already been draft ed to direct the parking. Captain Charlie Farmer and the State Patrol and thirty extra policemen from Raleigh, Durham, and preensboro will brought in to aid local officers in keeping the streets and roads clear and the traffic moving. All five incoming highways are clear, so the fans should be assured a speedy ingress and egress. At the stadium, Assistant Graduate Manager George Shep-ard will have extra ticket takers on all the gates and extra ushers for every aisle.

Those in charge of the refreshment stands will do the same, and uptown the cafes and cafeterias have already signified intentions of being ready for the crowd by putting on extra help, running kitchens full blast, and beginning the serving of lunch an hour and even two hours before noon. -Carolina-Georgia games have always drawn the crowds, and in the last game they played in Kenan Stadium, in 1929, when an inspired Georgia team whipped Yale one week-end and came up to beat Carolina 19-12 the next, the crowd filled 20,000 of Kenan's 24,000 seats. That wasn't the biggest crowd Kenan has seen, for the Thanksgiving Day game with Virginia has drawn as many as 28,000, but it was a big and colorful one at that. All the old grads will be returning for Homecoming festivities this year, and with Carolina's clever and scrappy gridders standing squarely across the path of a Georgia team that is rated the class of the Conference, indications are for a game that will outdraw even the 1929 classic. That's the assumption Graduate Manager Charles T.

Woollen and other officials are working on as they prepare to handle a record crowd with ease and dispatch maximum enjoyment to all spectators.

Hines, who won the singles crown last year and paired up with Hinkey Hendlin to snatch the doubles title, coasted through the singles division without the loss of a set and then paired with Harley Shuford to win a comparatively easy victory in the doubles. Hines, Carolina's No. 2 ranking player, defeated John Martin, University of Virginia, in the singles finals by scores of 6-3, 6-2.

In the doubles finals, he and Shuford ran up against a little tougher competition in the persons of Edward Newell and James Dela-field, University of Virginia, but won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. This was thethird time the Middle Atlantic "intercollegiate tournament has been held. The University of Virginia won tYe meet in 1929 and has one leg on the cup to Carolina's two. Thirty net stars from twelve colleges in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina competed in the third annual event. The University of Virginia proved to be the only college able to give Carolina any trouble in retaining the title.
