COLLEGE DOWNS
THE WAKE FOREST
FOOTBALL TEAM
STAR
Made Two Touch Downs in
Spectacular Plays, and Was
Carried From the Field on
the Shoulders of His Men.
Wake Forest Played Well.
Score ID to 13.

In we'll fought game from start
to finish yesterday afternoon between
the second eleven of Wake Forest
and the team from the Atlantic
Christian College, the visitors went
down in defeat by a score of 13 to
Ia
The college feels that the score
should have been IA to on account
of the fact that one of the Wake
Forest team took the ball from the
hand of Grant the star player of the
College team after he had been
tackled, and then ran with it for a
touch down. Mr.. Grant was the star
player for the College team making
two touch downs. His playing was
magnificent, and his running fine.
He seemed to be as tough as whit
leather, for no matter how rough
, the work he came up smiling and un-
team mates at the close of the game
took him on their shoulders and
cheering carried him from the field.
The College gained on end runs and
line plays and all the men of that
team demonstrated fine head work
and good staying powers. The Wake
Forest men were heavier and better
equipped than the College team. The
and Garland Gray were very good.
The college team covered kicks well
and showed very good interference.
Wake Forest played an average
good game. The only gains they made
however were through the lines.
There were no spectacular runs. The
touch downs were made by Crutch-
field and Best.
The reference was c. E. Slick, and
the umpire was, Mr.. w. F. Sutter of
Westley and Princeton College, an
old football player of experience, who
is now travelling man.
The attendance would have been
greater but for the Carolina Virginia
game. Those who were present how
ever enjoyed it immensely. Our peo-

THE POSITION
OF FRANCE
Described as Materialistic if

for a Large Army English
Newspapers Say.

London, Nov. 25.-Foreign min
lister Curzon's remarkable address
yesterday in which he declared that
if France pursued an isolated and
individual course she would not in
jure Germany but rather would be
injured in the estimation of the 9TH
er nations of the world. The editors
of the English papers are following
their course which has consistently
stated that the position of France
was that of a militaristic and re-
vengefu1 spirit, in the distrust of
Germany who was mipotent to do
her any harm.
The Daily Mail while not com
menting editorially makes clear it's
attitude when it says that H G.
Wells who has been writing for the
paper against the French does cease
to do so it will be obliged to cut him

London, Nov 25.-As Premier

with Premier Lloyd George of Great

very critical. A prominent member of
the Sim Fein said, THE situation is

the Sim Fein delegates have gone

the Dali Eaireen. They will return to
London Saturday night to meet David
Lloyd George after his conference

The British Premier told Craig
this morning that he was unable to
give Ulster assurances that he could
carry out his proposals, since the
Sim Feiners were understood to still
refuse to recognize the sovereignty of
the King of England as the King of
Ireland.
Such advices have been reported by
the Dali Eaireen representatives who
are believed to view Ireland as a
free and independent state, which
could make treaties with other states,
and acknowledge the king as the
ruler of the other states, but not of
Ireland. This was not the plan of the
English government, which has new

witnessed by ten thousand people.
But for the uncertainty as to whether
the game would be played up to the
last minute Wednesday afternoon the
attendance would probably have been
doubled
Wilfred J! Johnson, the Carolina
halfback, the question of whose eli
gibility created all the storm and
stress of the preceding 36 hours was
cast in his usual role of star. but he
most emphatically was not deciding
factor in the result.
The honor of scoring the touch
down that spelled the victory fell to
Captain Robbins Lowe, who crossed
the last chalk line after a brilliant
twenty-yard run, which furnished
one of two super-dramatic, outstand-
ing plays in the game that was amaz-
ingly filled with thrilling incidents,
tune.
The great moment for Carolina
came toward the fag end of the
second period, after Virginia un-
questionable supremacy in the first
quarter had led to a field goal, and
a three point lead that was looming
larger and larger as time passed.
Johnson had run a punt back 19
yards from midfield and placed the
ball on Virginia's 31-yard line. II
was Carolinas big moment, but the
going was hard. Johnson was thrown
for a loss of a yard on the first play
and although a pass from Lowe to
johnson netted ten yards, that los'
yard still stood in the way of frs
down. Lowe plunged and fell 81,
inches short, but MCGEE made it frs
down on the last try. There was more
trouble in advancing and johnson
Just missed a forward pass.
Then came the play of the day
The ball was well to the right of ths
field and prudence seemed to dictate
running it to the center and trying
for field goal that would tie thu
score. Obviously with that end il
view, Lowe called an off tackle pla!
with himself carrying the ball. Dig
ging around behind splendid inter
ference, Lowe veered sharply in. Blu
the Carolina leader realized his gol
den opportunity and seized it. Seein'
an open field ahead of him, Low
made for it and turned the play int

SHIP SUBSIDY IS
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
HARDING AND ADVISORS HAVE
NOT YET FORMULATED A
MARINE PROGRAM.
WAR HIS WROuGHT CHANGES
Former Bitter Opponents to Subsidy
Propositions Now Apparently Want
Subsidy for Themselves.

Washington. -, The revival Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation has
raised some important questions as to
the future of the American merchant
marine. While President Harding and
his advisers have not yet reached q
definite program or policy, the signifi-
cant thing about the informal discus
sions which are now taking place is
the drift toward government subsidy
of ships flying the American flag.
For years the subsidy idea has been
warmly espoused by shipping men
only to be bitterly denounced by the
members of Congress from agricultl-
raj states. Years ago no American
President would have felt warranted in
recommending subsidy to any class
Of American enterlrise. But the waf
has wrought many changes, and it
would not be surprising If before the
end of the Harding administration a
ship subsidy bill, not only is proposed,
but actually put through Congress.
1t is felt that the chief source of op.
position has vanished, for the agricul.
tural element in Congress has recent
ly come forward with request for a
subsidy themselves. The proposal
that q hundred million dollar appropri
alton be made by the government to
finance agricultural projects is looked
upon by advocates Of the ship subsidy
as an established precedent which ag.
ricultural senators and members Of the
house will not be able to ignore.

Dog Days.

The following definition of dog
days" is taken from Webster's New
International Dictionary:
"A period of from four to six
weeks, variously placed between the
early part of July and early part OF
September. Canicular days; SO cali
ed because reckoned from ancient
times from the heliacal rising OF
the dog star Sirius. Popularity the
sultry, close part of the summer
when dogs are supposed to be spe-
ciaily liable to go mad.
THE conjunction OF the rising OF
the dog star with the rising of the
sun was regarded by the ancients as
one of the causes of the sultry heat
of summer, and of the maladies
which then prevail. But as the con-
junction does not occur at the same
time in all ATTITUDES and is constant
ly changing in the same region,
there has been much variation in
calendars regarding the limits Of
dog days. Some dates that have
been given by Roger Long, 1880
1770) as the beginning of dog days
are: About 735 A. d., July IA, 10Th
century July 6; 166O-1752 July II;
after 1852 July 20. Almanac max
