THE LIFE OF
IN THIS CORNER

The would-bu football experts
who spend whole weeks pouring
over dope sheets, comparing
scores, weights and the color of
the eyes and hair Of rival half
backs is indeed hard The Satur-
DAYS roll around, the tavorIteS
fail, the gucssDcrts tear their hair
and come back tor more the next
week. For Il good example Of
regular Saturday occurrence. take
q long look at the following:

Tennessee 30. Georgia D.

TRUE To FORM
North Cardinals Ia 90 o de-
feat BY the Fordham Rams could
hardly be considered anything but
the "pauning out OF the rca.
dope on the relative strength of
the two teams. Those of as who
strung with the TarhcclS knew We
were doing so at our own peril.
The Fordham team n Chapel
Hill SATURDAY. was one of the
greatest I'm the country. In our
opinion. nothing but the fact that
the Heels played a fighting brand
OF ball prevented the game from
being complete rout.
Fordham ran true TO form, eN-
cept for the fact that II was the
Rams. a supposedly fine running
team. but weak at hOcuS-pocuS,
that supplied the fire works. II
was the passing and lateral pass
inc of the Rams, coupled with the
old reliable Statue of Liberty,
that crushed the Heels. On the
other hand, Carolina, regarded rs
one Of the best passing teams IN
the nation, was almost entirely
ineffective at this game and gain
ed most of its yardagc on the
ground.
The Heel UuartcrbackS may be
all that has been said about them.
but il is our opinion that they cr-
red badly on several occasions.
At least three times in the first
half Carolina needed only a yard
or two for first down deep I'm
Ram territory: and on each Oc-
caSion the Heels backs tried the
Fordham line.
THE BREAKS
We're not definitely against
the Heels. but it was a heart
breaker when George Watson
Knocked a touchdown pass from
the hands of Andy Bcrshak in the
first half
BEST TEAM WON
But all i'm all the best ball team
got the long end of the score for
once in a close game. Cardinals
coaches and players have no
aliblS. neither have we second
~ueSSerS. the Heels gave their
best, which wasn't quite enough.
WILD, WILD CATS
With Lafferty in the game,
Davidson's Wildcats were given a
chance to down Furman's Hurri-
cane. Without Laffcrty in the
lineup the wcll-kuown fighting
Cats beat the Hurricane 13 to 9.
All of which is some more of the
conclusive proof that the David
sons are a tough crowd to take in
their own lair.
STATE IN FINE WIN
TarheelS over the state were
cheered BY States win over BoS-
ton college, team almost uni
versally picked to measure Doc
Newton'S boys.
The States gambled quite a bit,
but the elusive Lady Luck rode
with RcrlinSki this time. Give Doc
time and the Wolves will be right
up with the sO-called big boys.
