 Amundsen seemed perturbed and excited and gave Maynard the im- pression that Mobiles account was different than his facts.
 'eThere may be statements in the story that I might want to deny said Amundsen.
 "You will have plenty of oppor- tunity and time to deny the state ment after you see it in the Mug get" was the reply.
 Amundsen disagreed with May nard and immediately left the office disgusted. He told his few hero worshippers that the publisher had mistreated him.
 The r0mor flew around town like wild fire and the Nugget had its higgest days business in long time. People crowded into the or flee and crowd waited outsiue anxiously fsr papers.

VILLAGE LINKED
WITH WEST BY
NEW STATE ROAD
Commission Votes to Place, Cal
wander Graham Route On
the Official Map
EASTWARD LATER, MAYBE

Chapel Hill is now connected
with the west by a new state
highway.
This is brought about by the
decision of the State Highway
Commission, at it's meeting day
before yesterday, to place on the
official state map the road from
Calvander to Graham\ in Ala
nance county. Calvander is
four miles from here on the
state highway to Hillsboro.
The road running from here
in the other direction-eastward
to a junction with the. Central
Highway at Nelson's almost
sure to be placed on the state
map later on. Just how soon,
nobody can now say. When that
stretch is taken into the state
system, there will be new
through route between the east
and the west through Chapel
Hill; and then the University
village will be several miles
closer than it now is, by way of
state roads, to either Greensboro
or Raleigh.
Probably the commission will
take over promptly the main
tenance of the Calvander-Gra-
ham road. Whether the choice
will fall upon the route through
Saxapahaw or the route through
Swepsonville is not yet known.
The Orange county section of
the road is already in good
shape, having recently been
ditched, scraped, and graveled.
The Chapel Hill citizens who
went to the meeting in Raleigh
Wednesday wanted the state to
take over the road from here
eastward to Nelson as we'll as
the one from Calvander to Gra-
ham; but it developed that the
commission was not yet ready to

Carolina Ready for 9Th Game of Sea-
son; Big Crowd Expected

The University of North Car
olina football team meets the
team from State College here on
Emerson Field tomorrow (Sat-
urday) afternoon.
For many years this match
was known as a "State Fair fix
ture" because it was played in
Raleigh on Thursday of Fair
Week. But henceforth it will
alternate between the homes of
the two institutions-one year
here, the next in Raleigh.
Applications for tickets have
been pouring into the Office of
Graduate Manager Charles T.
Woollen. Wooden stands have
been erected to supplement the
seating accommodations provid-
ed by the permanent concrete
structure. Elaborate arrange
ments have been made to regu-
late the automobile traffic, to the
end that the crowd may reach
and leave the field with the ut
most ease.
Next to the Virginia game on
Thanksgiving Day, the one to-
morrow is regarded as the most
important of the season.
Carolina lost to Maryland last
Saturday, II to 6. Of the four
games before that, it hadS lost
two wake Forest and Tennes-
