VIRGINIA IS ANXIOUS
TO BEAT GAMECOCkS

UNIVERSITY, Va, September 28.-
Virginia's first real test of foot ball
strength in Southern Conference con-
test comes next Saturday when the
Cavaliers go to play South Carolina in
Columbia.
The Gamecocks will try the Cavaliers
to the utmost. Coach Laval is reported
to have a squad of veterans that is
rated as one of the best in the confer
ence. One of his stars will be the same
Zobel who has wrecked Virginia's hopes
for two seasons.
Virginia will go to Columbia with
many of the men who played against
South Carolina last Fall and with not
e few who were in the 1927 contest.
Because these men have been twice de-
feated by the Gamecocks they will be
doubly anxious to win.
South Carolina was first on the Vir-
ginia schedule in 1912. After the fifth
contest the fvar Interrupted the series
and it was not resumed until 1926
Virginia took all the first string OF
games and nosed out a to victory
by means Of Capt Mackall's two drop
kicks in the first postwar meeting in
Columbia.
Few games played on Lambeth Field
have been more exciting or colorful
than the battles with the Gamecocks In
1927 and 1928. In both Of these the
Cavaliers have taken a lead of two
touchdowns only to be caught from be-
hind and passed by the Columbia team.
Both games were decided in the final
minutes of play.

North Carolina Matches Best
ELeuen Section Has Produced

forwards North Carolina ever has had.
For 10 years the writer has watched
North Carolina elevens, but during that
10 years the Tarheels have never pre-
sented a team that seemed to have
even half the possibilities of the one
that now wears. its colors. This one
has everything that good foot ball team
needs. Speed, dash, physical condition,
strength. ability to throw the ball far
and accurately, fine running capabili-
ties on the part of its backs, rangy,
strong line that no eleven is going TO
push around very much are some of the
factors that belong to this Carolina out
fit and that guarantees for its oppo-
nentS some very, very anxious moments
and, perhaps. some very dreary ones.
North Carolina today beat Wake For
est 48 to o, and it could just as easily
have won by hundred points, because
Wake Forest might have stayed out on
the field with only the host of the
Carolina uniforms in front of it and
never scored. Not that Wake Forest
was not big team. because it was. The
Wake Forest outfit really outweighed
North Carolina, but 1t just could not
play as much foot ball.
Varsity Team Yanked.
These North Carolina backs turned
and twisted their way inside and out
side of ends, cut back over the tackles,
caught long forward passes until they
opened up Wake Forests line, then
pounded through it. No telling how
many points that the first and second
string backfields would have scored be-
hind that first-string line had they
been left in. But the whole varsity
was yanked at the end Of the first
quarter, and the second and third
quarters were reduced to - and 10
minutes each.
The sentiment here In Chapel Hill
Is that Carolina not only has the best
team from every point of view that has
ever represented it, but that it Is going
to give all its Southern opponents plen-
ty to think about. The only feeling OF
apprehension here seems to be that
too much may be said of the strength
Of the eleven and the men may get
over-confldent and have to take a
bump to bring them back. However
nobody here has any thought other
than that Carolina has a great foot
ball team, and this is one general sem
timent that seems absolutely justified.
Whatever the University of Maryland
may accomplish against the Tarheels
next Saturday afternoon, 1t may as
we'll make up its mind, collectively as
well as individually, that it must face
the strongest and most generally YER
satile group Of foot ball players that
it has ever met representing anv South
Atlantic school. This North Carolina
eleven is far better in virtually every
department of play than the one that
last year beat Maryland Is to 10 in one
OF the best-played games of the whole
year.

PITT IS IMPRESSIVE,
IN ONE-SIDED GAME
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, September o.
A University of Pittsburgh foot ball
squad that looked like second edition
of the 1927 championship opened the
season here this afternoon with an i'm
pressive 53-to-0 victory over the fight
ing Waynesburg College eleven. Some
5000 fans saw the game.
The Panthers displayed excellent CO.
ordination, strong, fast-charging line
made holes for the backs and on de-
tense never gave the YellowjacketS a
chance to score. Waynesburg proved a
worthy opponent for the first game,
giving Pitt a workout that made the
Sutherland-coached machine put forth
real effort. Waynesburg, however,
never seriously threatened.
Tom Parkinson, fullback, and Whitley
Walinchus, half, turned in two touch
downs apiece to lead in the scoring. A
55-yard dash through left tackle brought
Walinchus his second touchdown.

said it was simply case of the larger
squad winning. see lots of room for

The University of Tennessee opened its

the brief flashes of the old-timep over

The fighting men from Danville made
their way time and again through an
uncertain Volunteer line, scored one
touchdown on an intercepted pass, and
at the half left Tennessee a disap-
pointing 8-to-6 lead. The Vols came
back in the closing period with four
touchdowns and a defense the Colonies

Eugene McEver scored three Of Ten

Naval Academy foot ball team
went far to promise successful voyage
through its schedule.
The team, changed frequently as the
game progressed, exhibited q running
game of a high order for this period
of the season, and scored In every
quarter.
In the third quarter the MidShipmen
only succeeded in crossing the goal
line of the visitors once, but In the
other three two touchdoWns were regis
tered. Joe Bauer scored extra points
with drop-kicks on four Of the five
occasions he was called upon.
The Navy occasionally resorted to the
passing game, but indicated that 1t had
not yet brought 1t to level with It's
running game. However, passes from
Spring to Moret in the first half and
from 10th to Clifton in the third regis
tered around IS yards each. Moret's
catch was particularly fine one.
Denison Shows Little.
Denison showed little in its attack
and gained total of but II yards dur
ing the whole first half. Philbrick' S
gain of IA yards from scrimmage. fol-
lowed by a pass netting 8 yards, was
the only furry on the attack which
the visitors achieved
Kohlhas scored the Nays first
touchdown, and its first for the season,
minutes after the first quarter started.
The Navy received the kickoff, and
with Spring and Kohlhas doing the
gaining, carried the ball 80 yards for a
touchdown.
Sensational plays marked the second
and fourth quarters. In the second,
Moret pulled down long pass from
Spring in beautiful style, the play net
ting 40 yards.
Both of the Nays scores in the final
quarter were on brilliant plays. For
the first touchdown Crane blocked one
of Philbrick's punts, Clifton falling on
the ball behind the line. For the sec
ond, Clifton took pass from 10th and
ran IS yards. and then scored on a
