While it is talked about Raleigh that
Private Secretary Charles G. Powell

known that his excellency was not

Besides, they argued, the short ballot

How kind everyone had been to

anxious that she should have

VOLS HOLD EDGE IN
SERIES WITH HEELS

Chapel Hill, Sept 21-When Caro-
lima and Tennessee meet in football
at Chapel Hill October 8, they will
be renewing a series that started way
back in 1893. Since then the Vols
and Tar Heels have met IS times and
the Vols hold the edge, having won
games and one tie as compared to
Cardinals games and a tie
In that first game in 1893 the Tar
Heels smothered the Vols to a 600
score. The two clubs met again in
1897 and 1900 with Carolina winning
on each occasion 1910 and 1916. The
Vols first victory came in 1908 The
score was II to O. Carolina won in
1909 but it was not until 1919 that
the two met again. That contest re-
suited in scoreless tie. Beginning
again in 1926 Tennessee was the vic
tor "a to 0, which was followed bv

Dukes Devils Get
Set for Big Test
From Red Raiders

Durham. Sept. 21-Duke's Blue
Devils frightened up their belts today
and prepared for a week of hard
work that will lead them up to their
major test of the 1896 campaign on
Saturday when Colgate's razzle daz-
gle and powerful Red Raiders invade
the Blue Devil horseshoe for the big
gest early season intersectional game
ever Offered in the south.
A natural from the time it was
scheduled, the game sizes up as a
real upper. The two teams are just
about evenly matched as far as
weight is concerned. The fact that
it will be the opening game for Col
gate while Duke has already had a
contest should mean little to either
team Where Duke got a chance to
test it's wings and Colgate didn't, Col
gate got chance to scout the Wade
men which Duke will enter the game
without.
The Red Raiders will bring to
Duke stadium a type of football that
has never been seen in this section
before and will be well worth seeing
since many believe that it is "the
football of the future"
Colgate will receive punts and the
receiver will lateral to another play
err. Colgate will catch passes and
the receiver will lateral. Colgate will
shoot laterals behind the line of
scrimmage to players who will for
ward pass. The laterals will go from
backs to backs and from linemen to
linomQn and from haekS RI 1inamen
The guards, tackles and even the
center will become ball carriers.
These Red Raiders really put on a
show but this lateral-passing hocus-
pocus is not all they do. Their foot
ball is based on sound knowledge
of fundamentals and they build their
owwensive attack just the same as
any other team but they lay the
stress on laterals as a good method
to open up teams defense.

CHAPTER 5Z

GAY HAD felt strangely heavy
hearted all during her round OF
duties at the club. Thus when she
stepped out of the Wilson car into
their side-drive. the mournfulness
Of this November twilight and the
tempestuousness of the wind hao
eeepened her mood Of depression.
Now. as she stood staring out
into the white pail of the garden,
as Marian watched her, she felt
unspeakably desolate. That nad
been her real feeling lately, hidden
under a cloak Of gaiety: desper-
ate sense of utter aloneness IN a
great, Indifferent world, ever since
that stormy. Misunderstanding finale
With Wayne.
Again the memory of their last
unforgettable evening together re-
vived in her mind for the hundredth
time, In all its details, its ecstatic
sweetness, it's agonizing misunder-
standing; and the pain in her
breast seemed more than she could
bear.
.Does a snow storm give you the
filters, too?" Marian's voice re-
called Gay to her surroundings.
Gay turned from the window.
II used to adore snow storms when
was youngster. Snowfall fights,
and sledrides, and building snow
men and forts with the other kids
In the neighborhood. But to-
night"
Marian didn't see the SILVER. She
was wording her own thoughts.
II missed all that, being a very
delicate, shy child. l was alone so
much. My father used to drive
country roads, day and night in all
kinds of weather, visiting sick peo-
pie. Perhaps that explains why I've
always gone around with gay
crowd, played bridge, and danced,
and did anything and everything
to avoid being alone. I've been so
busy trying to compensate for my
lonely childhood, that I've been a
frightful failure as a wife. for

with increasing speed, out of the
Michigan Central station.

herself, excitedly as a youngster
"Goodby. Detroit-for a little

Fascinated, she watched the
scenes that flashed past the Pull
man windows. Narrow streets
chill and dreary in the December
twilight. Factories. Tired men
trudging home from work. A
vacant lot, with boys practicine
football. Then abrupt darkness, as
the train roared into the tunnel
under the Detroit river.
Now they were out of the tun-
mel, and racing through the out
skirts Of Windsor, toward Saint
Thomas. Gay suddenly caught q
glimpse Of the great city she was
leaving behind her. It lowered,
incredibly high, in the distance-a
fantastic panorama Of buildings,
etched against a cold lemon-yellow
sky. Then the train ratified noisilv
