I seem to hear whimperings
drifting up from Chapel Hill,
N. O., anent the use of a COM
mon, almost ordinary house
hold bauble which any child
can handle with unusually
satisfactory results-in the
scouting Of football teams.
In this enlightened age, a
moving picture making ma
chine should hardly be q
novelty, even in Chapel Hill
where they have devoted a good
many millions of dollars to mod
ern class-rooms, laboratories,
dormertories, Handicapped cam
puses, a snug, concrete stadium
seating about $4,000 people
tucked away in natural am
phitheater among the bristling
pines, say nothing of as sweet
set of carillons as you'd expect to
hear this side Of the Swiss Alps.
Dirty Work at Crossroads
Yet, dear old North Carolina,
through its sprightly college edi-
tor, finds fault with the fact that
Coach Wallace Wade, Of Duke
University, which last Saturday
stemmed Cardinals Rose Bowl
hopes by trouncing them Is TO 0,
secuted, or had secuted, North
Carolina via use of the wicked
little cinirna.
Dirty work" the Carolina pub
lication implies. If Carolina
hopes to ever achieve, enough ma
tional Importance to be invited to
the Rose Bowl, it must teach its
embryo editors that football is
fought on the gridiron, not in the
columns Of the college house or
gan following a disastrous defeat.
Carolina must outgrow such plea.
yune complaints, alibis and expires
sions of an attitude Of sour
grapes, as permitting q cry Of
"foul" to go up from its mouth
piece. after Carolina has been
shown up by a traditional foe IN
what has come to be one Of the
greatest college classics Of Dixie.
Poor Time to Protest
The Carolina journalists must
learn better sportsmanship than
to cry" after any defeat what
soever, least of all the defeat that
stood between them and an un.
blemished record and q possible
bid to Pasadena.
And If the Carolina muse must
find fault with the manner in
which the favorite Carolina foot
ball team has been secuted, let
them not appear so plebian in
their charges.
The use of the moving picture
making machine is by no means
new in the scouting of football
teams. It has been going on
long, long time, whether Carolina
realizes it or not.
I imagine there is no end OF
Carolina alumni which is not
proud of the latest piece that rat
tied off the Carolina presses
anent Coach Wallace Wade stop
ping so low as to make moving
pictures Of Carolina in her games
previous to the Duke encounter
last Saturday, in order that the
Duke players might have a proper
defense and attack with relation
to North Carolina.
Something Out Of Tune
Those pillared edifices, land
scaped eXpanses and other re-
vered and hallowed possessions at
Chapel Hill are not founded in
after,defeat protests of so puny
a nature as moving picture scout
ing.
I distinctly recall that George
town. on an off Saturday secuted
Manhattan via means of the flick
ers. I recall also how Jack Hag
erty and "Mush" Dubofsky
brought those films right back
to Washington and ran them off
in slow cadence so that the play
ers at the Hilltop wouldn't 60
into last weeks Manhattan game
wholly ignorant Of what to ex-
pect.- do hope North Carolina
will not importune its fellow,
Maryland, to call off relations
with Georgetown, therefor.
I distinctly recall, too, that
there has been no howl from
Manhattan about this low prac.
tice, in spite Of Georgetown's 49,
too victory.
But if the Carolina paper has
its way, the use of the moving
picture for scouting will be an.
other Of those things that must
be taken up before the Southern
Conference in its winter session,
along with eligibility code viola
tions, etc. ......
