British as Screen Fans

Every man, woman and child in
Britain visits a cinema % times in
the year, taking a general average
from cinema attendance. This IS
one of a number of striking facts
brought to light in technical paper
read by Mr.. Rowson, at the Royal
Statistical Society, London.
There are 4,3O5 cinemas in
Britain, Mr.. Rowson says, being
about one to every 10000 of the
3,S72,000 seats, being an average of
about 900 seats apiece.
The proportion Of British to
foreign films shown in the United
Kingdom is now increasing, he
also reported. The total length of
major British films exhibited has
risen from $4,000 feet in 1880 to
1,186,000 last year. On the other
hand, he says, there has been a

diminish. The average number of
times which every major British
film was screened last year was
7,4O2; the corresponding figure for
foreign films was $500.
Cinema seats are extraordinarily
cheap in Britain. Mr.. Rowson es-
Inmates the average price charges
them at 1913 pence (21 cents)
each, including government taxa
ton. The total spent upon cinemas
in the United Kingdom last year
was about 41,O0O,O0O pounds, of
which 100000 pounds went to the
state in the form of taxes.
British cinemas do most of their
trade in the winter and when the
weather does not favor outdoor oc-
cupations. January usually is one
of their busiest months.

DeaCons Threat
To Blue Devils
Saturday

DURHAM, N. c., Nov. Awake
Forests potent Demon DeaconS,
defeated only twice this season
and by last-minute rallies in both
cases, are planning to kill the
hopes Of Dukes Blue Devils for
their second State and Southern
Conference titles in a row.
The BaptistS have shown clearly
that they one Of the best teams
In the Southern Conference this
season. They have won four and
lost two games in a hard schedule,
topping Clemson, N. c. State, Wot-
ford and Presbyterian and losing
by the narrowest of margins to
North Cardinals powerful Tar
Heels and George WaShington'S
strong Colonials.
Lost in Fading Moments
In both the games they lost
Wake Forest led until the final
minutes Of play. They had North
Carolina 10 until the final
period, when the Tar Heels slipped
across two touchdowns to take the
verdict. George W. shin g t o n
scored in the final minutes for
a 1872 edge.
The Deacons downed N. c. State,
90, and Clemson, victor over
Georgia Tech, 60, and rolled up
large margins over Wofford and
P. C.
With a bevy Of fine backs,
headed by Walton Kitchin, Hobo
Daniel and Dallas Morris, the
Deacons have a rugged forward
wall that opens the way for them.
Strong Line
When necessary, this powerful
Baptist line has been able to
throw back the threats Of oppos.
ing teams.
It will be an important game
in both State and Southern Con-
ference races. The Deacons rate
high in both loops while Duke was
unbeaten in State and conference
competition last season and has
four straight victories in the
Southern loop this season and one
in State competition.

Davidson Points
For Tarhee|s

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Nov. 4
With its best eleven in six years
Davidson College Is said to bt
pointing for the University Of
North Carolina, unbeaten and I'm
tied in the State and Southern Con
ference.
The Wildcats will play host tt
the Tar Heels in their Homecoming
day battle Saturday on Richardson
Field.
"The Wildcats didn't play their
usual game against the SO0th
Carolina Baptists and that ID
largely the reason they were
beaten" said Coach Walter Skid
more, who secuted the game
which Furman won, 14-13. "Of
course, they wanted to win, but
it was clearly evident that they
were saving their big ammuni-
ton for the Tar Heels.
Even at that, you can see In
the statistics that Davidson out
classed Furman in running and
passing, gaining 100 and l67
yards in these two departments
against IS and 20, respectively,
for the winners. Davidson had
three punts blocked, one Of
which was converted immedi-
ately into . touchdown, and five
passes intercepted. That's
enough to demOralize any club"
Coach SkidmOre added.
1.-THE running and pUnting Of
Ed Armfield, quarter, and the
passing of Teeney Lafferty, half
back, were outstanding for the
Wildcats on OffenSe. The play
of Bailey Williams, end, and
Captain Dick johnson, guard,
was spectacular. The team Is
fast and powerful.
"Of course, Furman should be
given just credit for winning.
Their boys played heads-up ball.
took advantage of the breaks,
and capitalized on them. But
Carolina is going to find a diff
ferent Davidson next Saturday
and the game will be close" the
Tar Heel mentor concluded.

Everybody is prepared for q
major victory, but the way Walter
Young's disappointing Eagles have
been playing football has some
what discouraged these enthuSi-
asts.
The Young.men have displayed
a wonderful midfield attack.
They've driven the enemy back
time and again. They outplayed
Washington College, they out
played st. Johns College, they
wiped the field up with the Coast
Guard Academy, but the only
game they've won was q rs vic
tory over Bridgewater College,
scheduled as a breather.
1t seems that the 10-yard line
is as far as the Eagles can go
without fumbling, getting a bad
pass from center, or just folding
up. For some unknown reason
more than one touchdown Is
against the team rules, or so it
would seem.
Traced to Hampden-Sydney Tilt
Some campus historian has
traced the 10-yard stopping tradi-
ton back to last year, when play
ing Hampden-Sydney, with the
score 14-12 against them, Hal
Toner. Eagle fullback, tossed a
beautiful pass to Kimber Shoop
out in the clear. Shoop caught
the pass and was 10 yards out in
front Of the nearest Tiger when
he suddenly stopped just past the
10 yard stripe and touched the
ball down.
At any rate, the campus en-
thuSiastS have not bothered to dig
up matches in anticipation Of q
victory this weekend. They've
not bothered to continue the prac-
tice sessions in music and cheers
this week. The answer: American
University is playing Randolph
Macon, and while every Eagle fan
is certain the team will outplay
the Yellow Jackets. they're equally
sure the VirginianS will win.
Even Coach Walter Young, who
through eight years Of dismal fall
days on the A. U. campus has
predicted victory after victory, re-
fuses to say his team will bring
home the bacon-or is it honey
you get from Yellow Jackets?
Eagles in Fair Condition
At any rate, the Eagles will be
in fair condition. They'll 60 down
to Ashland a day early and rest
comfortably in a hotel overnight.
Then on Saturday they'll tramp
out to the Ashland gridiron at 2:30
and give the Richmond suburban
ties an exhibition of plain and
fancy football-and maybe some
where around the 10-yard line an
exhibition of simple football. OF
course. there are a few optimiSts
who forecast a victory on the
basis that by the law Of averages
the Washington boys are due to
get past that 10-yard line.
