Revenge is sweet. The Tar Heels
have waited two years to do just
what they did Saturday, upset
Dukes Rose Bowl Special.
Bershak, Cardinals An-American
end candidate, playing his last year
played brilliantly to aid in side
tracking the Blue Devils. There
was no question but that the Tar
Heels out classed their rivals Sat-
urday and the whole teamed de-
served full credit for the victory
witnessed by $4,000 people.
State was defeated by Manhat-
tan, but they will be bitter hand
for Duke to handle this week al
though we believe the Devils will
take a close decision.
Our luck almost deserted us last
week as we lost out of IL picks.
Carolina took Duke, Manhattan
stopped the Wolfpack cold, L. S. u.
tripped Auburn in anybody's ball
game, Georgia downed Tulane and
Vandy upset Tenn.
But worst of all, Cranberry step
ped on the Lansing outfit by 90
before a holiday crowd of a couple
of thousand fans and lost the
Championship.
This week we advise you to bet
on the teams we don't pick.
Unless Lansing has improved IN
their blocking and the backs picks
up more speed it is pitiful what
will happen to them as they IN
wade the highest county seat east
of the Rockies to battle win the
strong Newland high there. New
land played Cranberry to stand
still after Cranberry struck early in
the game for its lone tally two
weeks ago.
We predict the games of local
interest this week as follows:
Duke, catching N. c. State, on its
rebound from last weeks defeat by
Carolina, should do the trick. New
land should take Lansing which is
showing signs of crumbling after
starting off brilliantly in the early
season tits. Appalachian should
take the Catawba, but there is a
chance of an upset. However APP
palachian has plenty Of power and
hasn't been scored on yet. Let's
hope they win the North State
crown.

Thursday when they play Virginia,
on Turkey Day, Davidson and
Wake Forest also meet. They will

To Give Unique
Program Monday
"Vest Pocket Edition" OF Meth
Odist Conference To Be Fea-
ture At Meeting.

A "vest pocket edition" of the
Methodist annual conference will
be the feature of the Ashe County
Young Peoples Union that is sched-
uled to hold its November meeting
at Lansing next Monday night.
Rev. J. w. HoXle, Jr., will act as
Bishop and the preachers in the
county will serve as presiding eld-
ers and members of the confer
ence. A cabinet session will be
held, a vote of Methodist Unifica-
ton taken, the characters Of the
preachers passed, class of young
men received on trial, connection
al officer heard from, and so on.
It is hoped that by this means the
young people will get to see some
of the workings of the Western
North Carolina Annual Conference
that was held recently in Asheville.
The program is being arranged by
the Jefferson young people.

Mountaineers To Play Catawba
For North State Grown FRIDAY
GripperS Defeat Guilford 81 To
! 0 Last Saturday. Favored
To Win Tilt.
Especial To The POSt)

Boone, Nov. 16, Appalachian
State Mountaineers, with high
hopes for their first North State
crown, are Drawing frosty morn
ings and the winter winds this
week as Coaches Brewer and Ste
wart put them through the most
thorough grooming of the season
for the Catawba Indians Friday
night at Hickory.
Risking a record Of the states
only unbeaten and the nations un-
scored on, the Appalachains are en-
tering the game in much the same
type spirit that carried them to
glory over Elon a few weeks past.
Spurred on by the possibility of re-
venge for last years defeat and ex-
pectations of having approximately
four thousand supporters present,
these mountainmen stand to offer
their toughest resistance.
In this big game of the North
State and more than a parraller to
the Duke-State clash in the state,
the sport critics are hungry for a
performance survey of four backs
who have been much touted this
season. From the mountains will
come Wilson, publicized as one of
the better fu1lbacks of the state,
and Angel, Captain quarterback,
leader in this realm with touch
down TALES. In opposition the
Indians win present passing and
und-gaining combination of the
backfield, Clark and PritchNrt.
Last Saturday the Mountainee-s
routed the Guilford Quakers to the
tune of 81 to 0 and displayed plen-
ty of power in pilling up this big
score. Many loyal supporters from
here and in Ashe county are ex-
pected to witness the championship
gam Friday.

posture is standing tall, pulling and
upward until you actual
ly feel tall. BY standing tall a per-
son assumes good posture, the chest
is high, the abdomen in, the back
straight and the internal organs
are in the proper position free to
do the work nature intended.
Happiness and long life is the de-
sire Of each person. Nature will do
her part to grant our wishes but
we must help her, building up our
resistance to colds and assuming
good posture at ag1 times. The
hidden secret of health is a happy,
bright disposition and the ability
to cast aside fear and worry. Re-

in the city of Washington.
His store was merchandised on
a premise. In those days the
young man was a sadly neglected
sartorial figure. He wore a blue
serge suit, a white shirt and black
shoes. When these wore out he
bought a blue serge suit, a. white
shirt and black shoes. But that
did not prevent him from having
a secret yen for the clothes Of
Berry Wall, young Princeton Stu
dents and Wall Street brokers. The
papers were full of this sort of
thing. But that type of clothing
was beyond the average purse.
Joe Kaufman, however, had
ideas about all this. He deter
mined to give young Washington
what they wanted in the way Of
stylish clothes at price that was
within their modest means.

He was a wooden expert of no
mean ability, keen stylist and a
man whose integrity demanded
that he be more aStir about the
invisible signature upon his work

thentic fashion sources and then
came back with young mems ideas
IN clothing. These he fashioned
to suit the popular price. The
first sports back jacket seen in
Washington was a st. Adams
model. He introduced the then
popular Norfolk jacket. A list of
his fashion scoops reads like a COM
