Lansing Goes to Tenn.
After suffering their first defeat
at the hands Of a powerful Marion,
Va, eleven, the Lansing high school
lyads went over to Galax last Fri
day and apparently got revenge on
Virginia soil. They piled up q
points and probably wouldn't have
allowed their opponents to score at
all if Coach Morphis hadn't sent in
all his reserves in the last few min
utes of play.
A Big Upset
One of the biggest upsets in North
Carolina football circles took place
last Friday night in Greensboro.
Coach Morphis, Mr.. and Mrs. Gale
Mcmillan, Joe and Bill Carney were
right there and saw it, too.
Favored to again lick their ancient
rival, the Appalachian State grid
ders found themselves trailing Elon
by the score of 6 to when the final
whistle blew. Brewers last A. S.
T. c. team threatened several times,
but they only crossed the goal line
once and failed to make the extra
point that would have at least tied
the scoge. Mr.. Mcmillan said it
was a thrilling game but that he
got mighty cold as well as a disap-
pointment before it ended. A. S. T.
c. should have an easy time win
ming at Boone this week.
CarOlina-Duke Battle
The big football battle Of the sea-
son in North Carolina will take
place in Chapel Hill Saturday af-
ternoon. It's the big annual Duke
Carolina game and what a game that
will be! The championship OF the
state and the Southern conference
depend on this game.
"Can the Tar Heels defeat the un-
defeated Blue Devils?" That's the
question that is being more keenly
debated throughout the state now
than political campaigns. Our guess
is that they can and will! Last Sat-
urday the Duke Methodist had a diff
ficult time winning over a stubborn
Baptist delegation at Winston
Salem. Of course Duke is pointing
for the Carolina battle and most
anything can happen. To see it
happen, will be around $4,000 fans,
several of whom will be Ashe coun-
ty people.
In the national circles, Pittsburgh,
California, Tennessee, Minnesota,
Notre Dame, Fordham, Dartmouth
and Texas Christian stand out as
tops at the present time. The big
game Saturday is Pitt VS.. Fordham.
Basketball in Ashe
President Garbee this week mailed
out Appalachian High School Asso-
citation basketball schedules for the
Ashe division and according to the
schedule, the first games will be
played on Armistice day, November
II. So it will soon be basketball
time in Ashe."
