was with much regret that I was
forced to discontinue the column,
for, as many of you know, sports
are my first love and I doubt if
ever T will get entirely away from
it. But the Boss, you know, the
man who pays off on Saturday,
points his finger at me and says
get busy on circulation. That is
just what I did. I have been try
ing to duck sports on every COR
ner, but somehow it just dogged
me every where I went. But last
week the Managing Editor and
the Business Manager got their
heads together, and when they
emerged from the huddle the sig
mails were a lot of music to my
ears. Every night that 1 am in
town, I am to edit a sports page
that will be interesting. Moreov-
er I am to burden the columns of
the Daily with a column a week of
the SorrieSt and most senselesS
sports talk that ever hit town,
known to a few as Sports Chat
ter" Keith says it won't hurt
the paper, anyway, because no
cne ever reads the stuff" but the
two Of us, and the only time he
reads it is when he corrects the
spelling. (He also states that if
I were to read it the second time
I would discontinue the column
Still you can't get around the
fact that Sports Chatter finished
last season with an average of
.879 for predictions on the foot
ball season, only falling out of the
900 class when the Tar Heels lost
to Duke and the Alma Nanny
Dear old Wake) fell before the
widest band of all, the Wildcats
Now, Sport Chatter spots the
prognosticators all the breathers
and one-siders and digs its cleats
in for a firm hold on the slippery
footing just as the teams start out
on the toughest part of theil
schedules.
For this week Sport Chatter
picks:
Carolina over Maryland
Duke over Clemson
Wake Forest over Wofford
Sewanee over Cardinals
Yellow Jackets over Windsor
Davidson over V. M. I.

There's a mystery aboard thi
good ship and to clear it up w
can't. Just when we think we havt
the key to the situation something
goes off and again we are left il
a lurch. However, only last nigh
1 called in Henry and Popeye ant
we had long chat. After a Ions
and hectic meeting, Popeye pulled
another can of spinach and final
ly decided that something had tt
be done at State college or ther'
was sure to be mutiny aboard thu
good ship. Henry said nothing bu
scratched his head. Now Whel
Henry scratches his head there i
something in the air besides hi
hand. So, with plenty o
thought on the matter, this col
umn will go on record as predict
ing that there will be a drasti
change in the athletic set-up a
State college before SpriNg. Stat
has the material, but they are no
playing the ball the yare capabl
of playing. Why? That we coul'
not figure out but we d.
know that things are not as the,
should be at Riddick Stadium. E.
Some say it's Hunk Anderson
that he doesn't know how to pro
duce others say that he is hur
as badly as anyone else,, includin
the few faithful alumni an
beg not to hurt his feelings an
more by saying naughty thing
about him in the papers tn
students think that the Hire
Help" are lying down on Dick Rey
nolds all these statements thl
column cannot vouch for, but W
still know that State is not win
ming and still they yell wait un
til next year." Another angle tha
is not on the level at State is tn

yards from the f1ghtingest, games'
playingest bunch of Davidso
Wildcats that ever walked on
