duke FANS ON
INCREASE AS
TITLE TAKEN
Over l44,OO0 Spectators
Witness Grid Perform
ances Past Season


RALEIGH, Dec. l7.-(UP)-
Duke university, in winning its
second consecutive Southern con-
ference football title, played be-
fore l44,743 spectators in 1886,
approximately $4,000 more than
watched the 1885 team, a survey
revealed today.
North Carolina university's Tar
Heels, defeated in the conference
only by Duke, performed before
crowds numbering $4,000 in
1886, the same approximate num-
Der that saw the near-Rosc Bowl
team of 1885. At home games,
however, Carolina gained $4,000
spectators over last year. A total
of 63.0l7 football fans saw the
games at Kenan field duying the
1896 season, while only 40,190
were present there in 1885.
Both teams played 10 games in
1886. a year ago, Duke also had
4 l0-game schedule, while Caro-
lima met nine opponents.
The Duke-Carolina game, head
line sports event of the state,
drew the largest individual crowd
of the season in North Carolina
$4,000. Second honorS went to a
game involving an Out-of-state
team, the Duke-Georgia Tech
clash in which the Blue Devils
humbled the invaders from Geor-
gia and established themselves
definitely rs contenders for ma
tional honors.
That Duke was a bigger attrac-
ton on its home field than abroad
is shown by the 1890 spectators
Who flocked to the gates of the
Duke stadium for four home
games, as compared to 70,9S3
fans the team drew in these games
played away from Durham. The
Blue Devils drew nearly half of
their away-from- home watchers at
Chapel Hill, less than 25 miles
from their home field. Second
largest crowd to watch Coach
Wallace Wade's eleven perform
on foreign soil gathered at Knox.
vile, Tenn, where Duke received
it's only defeat at hands of the
University of Tennessee Vols.
Grid clashes between the Blue
Devils and Southern conference
teams brought 79,167 tickethold-
ers through the turnstiles, and
non-conference Duke games at
tracted 65,576 fans.
The Blue Devils played seven
games in North Carolina during
the 1886 Season, one in Virginia
Washington and Lee at Rich
mond,-one against South Caro-
lima at Columbia, and the clash
at Knoxville against Tennessee.
Colgate provided only intersec-
tional opposition for the Wade
men in the second game of the
season when they came to Dur
ham and took a 6 to 0 trimming.
Georgia Tech was the only other
out-of-State team to invade Dur
ham.
The 144,743 spectators who
saw Duke in action took their
final look at Captain Clarence
(Ace) Parker in a collegiate foot
ball uniform and saw as well the
end of college grid careers of two
great Duke ends, Frank Llama
and Dick Taliaferro; two power
full linemen, Tom Power and Joe
Caldwell, and another hard-run,
ming back, Johnny Johnston. All
but Johnston completed three
years of varsity football at Duke
this season, and he will not be
eligible. for further college play,
although he won but two mono
grams.
Parker was almost unanimous
choice for an All-American back
field post, and Llama, Taliaferro
and Caldwell received frequent
mention on All-State and ALI
Conference elevens.

At the end of the first period,
with Dana leading 10 to 8, Coach
Bennison put in another team,
who played the rest of the game.
Flat Rock, leading II to IA as
the last quarter began, gradually
pulled away. They added 6 points
to their score during that last
quarter, while holding Dana to l
point. -.
For Flat Rock, the outstanding
PLAYERS on offense were Case with
6 points and Farmer with D. On

unemployment insurance bill is to
become a target for n good many
representatives and senators in
the regular session of the legisla-
tUrC. $500.
Many are opposed to the bill
but voted for it in the special SEES
sion so that il might pass within
the specified time by congress to
permit North Carolina to pa"tici-

ancc benefits. 1890.
Already Representative Willie
Lee Lumpkin of Franklin has an
nounced he will offer an amend
mcnt at the regular session to al
low less than eight employees OF
an employer TO participate in the
program. The bill, as drawn by
administration leaders, specifies
that when less than eight persons
are unemployed in a single firm
they may not participate in the
benefits.
The representative from Macon
was speaking-the man who IN
1881 introduced bill in the sem

Informal Polls
Are Fun

Informal polls are lots of
fun-at least they show which
way the wind is blowing in
favoritism Of hats, resorts, can
didates for the hall of fame
and what-not. The, younger
set of Washington is usually a
jump or two ahead of other
cities and, if by judging from
their requests one can come to
any conclusion as to the hits
of the week in the way of songs
and beverages, the answer is
quite definitely, "You Hit the
Spot" and Scotch and soda
all of which fits together nicely
in little joke of its own.
Mrs. Katharyn Fuqua was
smartly attired in black and
was escorted by the most at
tentive gentleman for dinner
and dancing. Her hat was
what intrigued us so much.
All the world lat least, most
of it) loves a. wide e-brimmed
hat and they are so becoming
yet they obviously do not lend
themselves to evening use
when there is dancing in the
offing-which is a pity. How
ever, this one was different ;
magic or something, for when
its wearer was quietly seated
chatting, the brim flared out,
unrestrained, but when out on
the dance floor, it seemed to
shrink into convenient out-of-
the-way-nesS.
Caught a glimpse of Miss Ida
Guffey getting on the elevator
in a downtown department
store, and she was wearing a
black and white tweed coat
trimmed with a collar of black
caracul. Her brimmed black
hat of velour had soft folds of
cire ribbon and a jeweled or
nament in the front of the
crown. She and her two sis
ters, Miss Pauletta Guffey and
Mrs. Carroll Miller, act as
hostesses for their nice brother,
the Senator from Pennsylvania.
