It seems to us that a sort of inn moral stigma is being placed on the atblete who sets price on his ath- 1etic ability. Why this is so. is be- yond us. If man accepts job somewhere or with some concern. he and his employer expect him to be paid for services.

All this talk of keeping amateur sports pure" strikes us as being cx- ceedingly silly because We have vet to find any sport that is unsullicd by the "Glthy lure of filthy lucre." Probably the only place where amateur sport is as it should be sport for sports sake, is in the col leses and most of the athletes are looking for opportunities to swell their bank accounts on the side.

Somehow or other, the weather has a pernicious habit of becoming mean over the weekend. At the time of this writing. the rain is fal- Ing gently but at the same time enough Of it is coming down to put the baseball games for today on the shelf and it gives us doubts about tomorrows contests.

Fight 'ans are anxious to soc more tourna- mcnts and if thnre. is no way of con- ducting them. the favorites should be enlisted under the banner Of State Athletic Commissioner Thomas F.

know, but, venturing guess,
said about a foot.

CONTRACT ELET
FOR GRAVEL TOP
Short Route TO Raleigh viii
Probably Be Open by

OIL SURFACE NEXT SPRING


A contract for laying gravel
surface on the new state high
way from Chapel Hill to Nelson
the short route to Raleigh
has been let to Nello Teer. He
will begin the work in a few
days, probably on Monday, and
with moderate luck in weather
he should complete the job in a
month.
This means that before the
middle of November Chapel
Hill win be only 80 miles from
Raleigh. The distance by way
of Durham is 38 miles, and there
is delay in getting through the
traffic in Durham.
Mr.. Teer will operate from
both ends. One crew will start
spreading gravel at the Pitts
Doro highway in Chapel Hill and
go eastward along the south
edge of the campus; the other
