OLD POINT LURE
TO TOURISTS

OLD POINT COMFORT. Va,
Dec. 17.-Harbingers of the ap,
preaching winter season are being
noted here with south-bound tour
lists of an historical turn Of mind
flocking to this resort in increaS'
ing numbers.
The Chamberlain Hotel, which
recently was taken over by com
pany headed by Sidney Banks, is
the mecca for these travellers,
many Of whom are making ex'
tended stays to absorb the wealth
of historical lore that extends
from nearby Fort Monroe to the
Cradle of the Republic" where
colonial Williamsburg is being re,
stored to its former glory at a
cost that already has exceeded
$12,OOO,OOO.
This resort received its first
testimonial from Capt. John
Smith, who, in penning his His
tory Of Virginia." said:
"The mildneSS of the air, the
fertility of the soil, and the sit
uatiOn Of the rivers are SO pro-
pitiOuS to the use of men, as
no place is more convenient for
pleasure, profit and mans Sus-
tenance, under any latitude or
climate"

BIG SEASON

ORLANDO, Fla, Dec. IT..
Spurred by the greatest influx of
preholiday visitors in II years this
city is now swinging into its win
ter entertainment program.
To mark opening of the sports
program Ky Laffoon, the golf pro-
fessional, arrived at the Dubs-
dread Country Club to take up his
winter activities. This is the first
season Laffoon has been located
here and he was greatly pleased
after making an initial trip around
his clubs sporty course.
Sunshine Park, the municipal
park where lawn bowling, shuttle
board, rogue and horseshoe pitch
ing are played daily from Septem-
Der until June, began operation
on a day and night schedule. Ad-
ditions made to the park equipment
during the summer are now prov
ing none to expansive, for visitors
from every one of the United
States are now making daily tricks
to the park from their homes.
Unusually good bird and deer
hunting in ranges and preserves
around this city is attracting many
Northern sportsmen. Strict en-
forcement of game laws by the
Florida Game Commission is be-
ing credited with the better hunt
ing conditions. With Christmas
just around the corner, flower
lovers are anticipating a Sweetpea
display in city parks by Christmas.
These plants, which annually
attract thousands of Florida viSi-
tors to this city, began blooming
in mid-November, and A. T. Goth,
park superintendent, predicts a
display on Christmas which will
rival that of late January last
year. The November blooms are
the earliest ever found in city
parks.

FLORIDA GIVES
VACATION AT
Lowe

When anyone tells you it re-
quires a good-sized bankroll to
spend a winter vacation of a
few days or weeks in Florida,
they are leading you to false
belief. The truth Of the mat
ter is that a winter holiday
can be enjoyed in Florida at
scarcely any more cost than
your ordinary living expenses
in the North.
Naturally, under such circum-
stances, one need not expect to
live at the exclusive and fash
ionable hotels, charter deep sea
fishing boats, nor stand in front
Of the ten-dollar pari mutuel win
dows at the race tracks. One
can expect and will find comfort
able, clean, roomy hotels and
apartments, food we'll prepared
and served amid pleasant, though
modest surroundings, good fish
ing aboard party boats with con-
genial folk, all manner OF mex
pensive games to play for amuse-
ment, miles and miles OF free
beaches with surf bathing.
It is true that in past years
much emphasis has been placed
on the fact that Florida is the
winter home of many of the ultra
rich, leaving the impression there
is no room for the person OF
modest means. Every effort is
being made by all Florida civic
bodies to correct this impression.
The person of average means is
as welcome in Florida as the most
famous industrial millionaire
and, in fact, there have been
more provisions made by civic
bodies of practically all cities for
his entertainment than there
have been for those possessing
great wealth.
Only this past year, new hotels
and apartments able to accom-.
modate approximately 10000
guests, have been completed at
Miami and Miami Beach, and all
have been erected to serve the
persons of moderate means.
The west coast of Florida
with such resorts as Sarasota,
Clearwater, st. Petersburg and
Fort Myers, has always been
noted for medium priced living
conditions and there is just as
good fishing and just as much
sunshine there as on the east
coast.

" Thomas (RedD Harp, 155-

L - a punt and raced 10 yards for
a touchdown in the last period today
to give Tennessee's Volunteers 15-to-
13 decision over the hitherto unbeaten
Duke Blue Devils.

conquered in four games and rated
one of the Nations strongest elevens.
Trailing, 9 to 6, after Tennessee
rallied to score safety and touch

seemed to have grabbed victory when
Elmore (Honey) Hackney fired a
bullet pass for a touchdown to Capt.

Harp's 70-Yard Run Decides.
WITH about minutes left to play
and Harp and Parker sparring for
breaks" with punts. the little Ten
nessee halfback wrapped his arms
around one of the Duke quarterback's
long boots on the 30-yard line, swept
toward the side of the field as his
teammates formed beautiful line Of
interference and galloped across the
goal for the winning points.
Tennessee played brilliantly all the
way. With their offensive checked
for most Of the first half. the
Volunteers light but hard-charging
line stopped three Duke scoring threats
almost on the goal line. Once they
threw up a stone defense to halt
a drive at the 3-yard line, again on
the 1-foot line and another time at
the 4-yard stripe.
1t was after that last stand by
Tennessee the Blue Devils scored.
Harp punted from behind his goal to
Hackney, who took the ball on his
own 46, almost stumbled, but re-
covered his balance and skirted down
the side line 81 yards for a touch
down. Hackney missed the extra
pohlt.
Early in the third period Phil Dick
ems, running and passing star of the
battle, punted to Dukes 8. Parker
dropped back deep in the end zone on
punt formation, but attempted to pass.
Frank Crawford, Tennessee tackle,
leaped high to bat the ball down be-
hind the goal for an automatic safety.
