4 GOOD many colleges that

them from foot ball re-
ceipts are face to face with just
two Observation-Disclosures on
some Of the bonds they issued to
borrow money or drastic curtail-
ment of their athletic programs.
There is not much doubt that 1t will
be the programs that suffer, because no
university If it can possibly avoid 1t is
going to default on payment Of money
borrowed to erect stadium. At least
one school has had to avail itself of
both alternatives, the University of
Iowa having cut down its program and
failed to meet its bonds when due.

Seattle, now Is said to be in q posi-
tion where it must meet not only big
payment on principal and interest due

Immediately, which it presumably bor-
rowed to carry on its general program
until the end of the foot ball season.

nUKE'S foot ball schedule shows 1t;
- North Carolina game next year on
November 18. 10 days before
Thanksgiving. 1t was predicted before
the game was played last Fall, when 1t
took place the Saturday before Thanks
giving, that North Carolina would turn
over a good deal of ground in order to
get the date earlier in next years list.
It did just that
The Tarheels had no desire to meet
Virginia again on Thanksgiving day,
with only five days between its contest
with Duke and the Cavaliers. To that
Carolina attributes in no small meas
ures its defeat of last Fall at Virginias
hands. And also Carolina lost to Duke,
and nothing Is worse for Carolina In
athletics than to drop consecutive con-
tests to both Duke and Virginia.
