the the Carolina Ranks High In Gridiron University Practically of at Least One Championship Honor By R. E. WILLIAMS. With only two intrastate games remaining on the schedules, it pears now that North Carolina elev. ens will finish in the following order: 1.

Carolina. 2. N. C. State.

8. Trinity. 4. Davidson and Wake Forest. 6.

Elon. 7. Guilford. Davidson will play Carolina in Charlotte Saturday and State College will journey to Wake Forest for the dedication of Gore Field on November 25, these two contests completing the intrastate schedule. The above rating is made on the assumption that Carolina and State will both win, and an opposite outcome in either game would, materially change the order.

However, upsets of sults have been more and more frequent as the season progressed. Surprises have continued to develop in margins of victory, but the teams picked to win were victorious in all of the games in which North Carolina elevens participated last week; Few Upsets Lately. Chances of upsets in the two remaining games can be well diseounted, but of course they still exist. But, games on the schedule will be the only ones played a8 both Carolina and State College are prohibited from participating in post season games by the rules of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, of which they are members. On the rating, Carolina not only is certain of the State championship, but is the probable wearer of the crown in the South Atlantic section and a possibility for Southern honors.

The University has already beaten Wake Forest, Trinity and College, with the latter the only one to furnish anything apDavidson is be played, with proaching a close, game, and only nothing in the Presbyterians' record, except their feat in tying V. P. offering any indication whatever that the Presbyterians can furnish serious opposition in Charlotte Saturday. If State can add a victory over Wake Forest to the drubbing administered Davidson, there will be no question about second honors, while by beating Davidson, Wake Forest and Elon, Trinity clearly qualifies for the next berth. There is little to choose between In the record of Davidson and Wake Forest and the outcome of their match, a 6-6 tie, must be taken as indicative of their relative strength.

Outside the State, Davidson has had a better record and the Presbyterians also defeated Elon 24 to 0, as against A 7 to 0 victory for Wake Forest and will probably make a much better showing Saturday than given in the Baptists' 62 to 3 beating by Carolina. Wake Forest also did no better than a scoreless tie against Guilford, a tenm not played by Davidson. On the other hand, Wake Forest rallied Saturday and held Trinity to a 3 to 0 score, as against a 12 to 0 drubbing administered the Presbyterians by the Methodists. Trinity is steadily advancing in class and this year dropped Elon, leaving the Christians with Wake Forest, Davidson and Guilford as their only North Carolina opponents. Elon has made a remarkable showing outside of the State, but on the record can get only sixth place within Tar Heelia, forcing Guilford down into the cellar, by a clearly earned 20 to 6 victory on Saturday.

South Atlantic Status. Carolina's victory over V. M. tained by an invincible drive in the face of an adverse score, leaves the Tar Heels one of two teams in the South Atlantic section which has remained undefeated, the other being V. P.

and it will be the end of the season before any satisfactory comparison can be made between the two, if it can made then. V. P. I. has one blot on its record, a tie score with Davidson, a team Carolina will probably defeat Saturday.

Aside from that game, the Gobblers' record is most impressive. V. P. I. has lost only one game, and in that held redoubtable "Praying Colonels" of Centre College to a 10 to 7 score, with most of the gaining done by the Virginians, The teams have four opponents in common and both have met two of them.

Carolina defeated Maryland 27 to 3 and V. P. I. turned in a 21 to 0 victory over the same team. V.

P. I. downed N. C. State 24 to 0, while best Carolina could do against the same team was a 14 to 9 victory.

Carolina has beaten V. M. I. 9 to 7, and V. P.

I. has tied Davidson 7 to 7, while neither team has yet met the other contender. In addition to these games V. P. must face Washington and Lee Saturday and Carolina will fight out another round of its argument of a quarter of a century with Virginia.

loses its remaining contests, If either, Carolina or V. P. I. the title can be easily awarded. Otherwise, the problem promises to be a stubborn one and may hinge on the slender foundation of that tie game with Davidson.

Carolina is one of the five teams in the South unbeaten by a Dixie eleven, but Carolina does not play any of the real topliners of Dixiedom and Auburn now seems to top rank for that championship, if it can step the two little hurdles that will be offered by Centre and Georgia Tech. If the other four teams get licked, however, Carolina will be distinctly in the running. KEMALISTS EXECUTE EIGHT OPPONENTS Angora, Nov. the Asso. ciated of the leading Turkish opponents of the Kemalist regime have been hanged.

WANTS SENIORITY RULE ABANDONED Senator McCormick Gives His Views on Subject in a Letter to Lodge sentative steering committee, which bishop.

YOU'VE SAID IT "AN INVESTMENT IN GOOD APPEARANCE" Wherever you go, whomever you meet or talk to, your clothes have the first and final say. Washington, Nov. of the Senate's seniority rule by which the chairmanship of committee goes to the member with the longest continuous service thereon was suggested by Senator McCormick, of Illinois, chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee in a letter to Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, made letter public today, The also urged that the steering committee, of which Mr. MoCormiek is a member, be made representative of all sections the Republican side, and disclosed that Senator McCormick had discussed the question with Senator Curtis, of Kansas, assistant Republican leader, and others. Stating that the seuiority rule "served very well in the old days," and had resulted generally in, appointment of good chairmen, Senator McCormick wrote Senator Lodge that "the Republican conference and the Republican steering committee owe it to the country to put aside the rule, just as the conference owes it to country to make provisions for selection of a truly reprethe shall meet regularly and as occasion requires with the corresponding committee of the House." Notice has already come from Senators of the "Irregular" Republean group that they intend to fight the seniority rule and demand what they consider adequate committee representation.

CHRISTIANS FLEE FROM ASIA MINOR Entire Population Leaving to Escape Turks; Will Be Untold Sufferings Constantinople, Nov. the Associated -Reports reaching Constantinople show that the entire Christian population of Siavas, Angora, Cesarea, Konia and other large centers in Asia Minor are in panicky flight towards the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Samsun, in the Vilayet of Trebi zond, on the Black Sea, has ten thousand of its own refugees and 40,000 others are reported headed for that port in quest of ships to take them out of the country.

Along every road and in every mountain pass are long winding serpentine columns men, women and children, goading along sleepy oxen pulling wagon loads of their worldly goods. People are abandoning their homes, farms and everything in their eagerness to put the greatest possible distance between themselves and their mortal enemies Turks. The difficulties and hardships of this wholesale evacuation have increased by inclement weather, which is bringing sickness or death to thousands. James Crutcher, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, of the American Near East Relief, notified Constantinople by courier today that the water front at Samsun was crowded with nervous or terrorized refugees waiting for boats. Mr.

Crutcher stated that the available will only embark 2,000 persons. lieves not exceeding one-third of the refugees will be able to leave the country within the period set for them to do 80 by the Turks. He therefore, is making efforts to induce the Angora government to extend the time limit. Reports from other places in Asia Minor say the Turkish military is withholding permission for males from 19 to 55 years of age to leave the country, and is allowing only women and children to depart. De prived of their bread-winners, these refugees present a problem beyond the efforts of the American Relief agencies.

Rear Admiral Bristol, commander of the American naval forces in Turkish waters, is concerned over the Angora government's order that all Chrisleave the country and is striving tto have the Nationalists modify this attitude. By winter there is expected to be a million or more of the evicted inhabitants of Asia Minor on the bleak, shelterless coast of the Black Sea begging to be rescued. No one nation has the facilities for this task of exI far patriation, and for it is limited admitted it is too great the means of the League of If in addition to the million and a half Christians in the interior Constantinople, the 450,000 Greeks, Armenians, and other foreigners are forced out of the country, it is believed there will stampede of tremendous proportions, entailing endless misery and confusion. Already the best elements of the British, French, American and other nationalists have left Constantinople, and paralysis in business daily is increasing. The Near East Relief today sent the steamship Belgravian to Samsun to begin the embarkation of 7,500 Greek and Armenian orphans, who are fleeing country in consequence of the Angora government's orders for the evacuation Anatolia in the next thirty days.

The Belgravian ole in charge of John D. MacNabb, Washington, D. C. The steamer is carrying a cargo of relief supplies. Relief ships also are being dispatched to Mersina and Beirut, which have become the two other extremities of the main line of flight in Asia Minor.
