New Orleans
Writers Laud
The Tar Heels

Chapel Hill, Oct 25.-Although
the Carolina football squad has long
since put the Tulane game behind
and turned its undivided attention
to getting ready for Pennsylvania,
the New Orleans fans and sports
writer's were still talking about the
Tar Heels courageous comeback and
magnificent performance.
Here are a few samples of the COM
ments as taken out of clippings from
New Ooleans papers which kept
rolling in today.
Charles DuFour, New Orleans
em-Tribune: "Lalanne, who lives IN
Lafayette, hard by the lazy Teche,
doomed large as JoVe and me foot
balls he tossed were as deadly as
the thunderbolts that Zoom down
from Mount Olympus. He pitched
North Carolina into a 14-l4 tie with
.Tulane's powerful Green Wave in Il
dazzling fourth period rally that
carried the Tar Heels from the brink
of l4-O defeat to the edge Of Il
17-14 VictOry.'
Bill NCGlC. 1NCW vi ICCtllo L HIND
Picayune: THE Louisiana 'Cajun
took charge OF what looked like a
hopeless situation for North Caro-
lima, and, undaunted by the score of
l4-O against his team, showed the
immense crowd an exhibition OF
passing which made local football
fans forget Davey O'Brien Of Sugar
Bowl fame.
And it might be said too, that
Paul SEVERN Of Natrona, Pa, caught
passes Just about as we'll as any
passer, save maybe Ken Kavanaugh
of L. S. u, has snagged them in these
parts during recent years The COM
bination of Lalanne to SEVERN regis
tered both touchdoWns for North
Carolina.
"Lalanne was not the only star on
the Tar Heel team. Paul SEVERN
proved as good an end as you'd see
anywhere; Kline and Mallory were
almost as good-probably as capa-
BILE ends as Tulane has met this
season.
George Stirnweiss, North Caro-
iina's best all round back, was every
thing that has been said about him
a great punter, passer, and ball car
rier He would have stood out for
Carolina had not Lalanne taken the
play away from him. Dick White and
Gates Kimball were two powerful
tackles who had much to do with
outcharging the Greene forwards in
the first half of the game"

Cats Point To
Furrnan Game

Davidson, Oct 25.-That ancient
doctrine of Presbyterianism, perdes-
tination or what is to be, will be,
still stands but Davidson Wildcats,
still seeking their first win Of the
season, are going through every
possible preparation in an effort to
upset the heavily favored Furman
Purple Hurricane when they clash
in the Cats own backyard here
Saturday.
A leave of absence from stiff
schedule gave the Cats a much
needed rest last weekend, but
Head Coach Gene McEver, who
plans to use every trick on his list
Saturday, is giving the Presbyter-
ians plenty of instructions this
week. Bomber Granny Sharpe, OIL
ing his well-known slingshot, Tub
~ Hand, and Claude Hackney have
had more than their share Of in
5tructiOns as to DaVidsOn's attack.
Sccond-stringers have also been
through the PAGES in early-week
practices but Davidson's forward
wall, stingy as a miser with the
yardage passed out to opposing
packs to date, have been the OBJ
iect Of scrimmage sessions. Injuries
will not hamper the Cats as no
notables will be kept out Of the
conflict on this account.

the field here Thursday afternoon
at $50 o'clock against East Dur
ham Junior High. and the varsity
eleven plays Friday here against
South Hill, Va.
To pep things up. a big pep par
ace will be staged Thursday night
with many of the students par
ticipating.
Coaches report that both squads
are optimistic and are in top
spirits. all fired with a determna-
ton 10 win.
The Junior Varsity turned in a
sterling performance last week,
gaining a 6-6 tie with Roanoke Rap
ids. The varsity eleven has been
defeated in every start thus far this
season.
On the junior varsity. Walter Al

South Hill. so the dope says, has
a team about on par with the Hen
dcrson aggregation. Many freshmen
and sophs are in the starting line
up. and the team averages in weight
about the same as Henderson.
Injuries still bother the Hender-
son team, and Jerry Faulkner,
flashy back, is out for the remain
der Of the season. Paul Blake is still
bothered with a bad shoulder. Sew
e,al of the boys are showing more
promise. Hunter Dunno is doing
better work in the lihe, and Glenn
Powers has picked up as a blocking
back. Ashton Warwick has turned
to hard work. and should improve
considerably Ted Wells, back, is a
hard blocker and tackler, and all he
needs is more weight to take him
to some college eleven.
Coach Jimmy Zell, a Pittsburgh
man, will bring a fine array of grid
talent from South Hill for the con-
test, and his boys are equally anx-
ious to chalk up q victory.

Close Game Expected When
Deacons Invade Duke Bowl

Wake Forest, Oct ga lot of
talk is going around this week about
the coming game between Dukes
Blue Devils and Wake Forests ues-
tionable Demon DeacOns Saturday
afternoon in the Duke Stadium.
No doubt, most football followers
in this section have lined up behind
one of the two clubs.
On the side are the Duke hackers,
probably telling each other, "hoW
many points should we spot the
DeacOns? George, Yves, and company
should score even more than they
did against Syracuse and Colgate'
But on the other hand, are the
Deacon faithfuls, talking in much
lower tones, however, 'our boys
came pretty close last year. The 10
defeat with a weaker team wasn't SO
bad. Duke seems stronger now, but
SO does Wake Mumm, wonder if the
Blue Devils have thought about last
years win being their 18th since
1921 Maybe it's time for the tide to
turn, VINO knows.
There's no question about the pow
err of the current edition Of the Blue
Devils. The DeacOns are not klddln2
themselves about this one iota. Every
enc knows the Dukes can show one
of the most diversified attacks Of any
eleven in the country, and on top
of this are smart themselves, as we'll
as being smartly tutored.
Before the season began this fall,
writer's were predicting great things
for Coach Peahead Walker and his
Deacons. They lived up to these ad-
vance notices for two weeks, but
then struck the bottom when North
Cardinals Tar Heels completely
routed them, Notwithstanding the
fact that they were being picked to
win in several quarters.
But you've got to say one thing for
the DeacOns-instead Of retrOgrading
since that Tar Heel catastrophe, they
seem to have really struck Their
stride, winning three contests and
scoring 131 points, to push their
seasons total to 1876, highest in the
nation at this writing.
1t appears now that Saturdays
Blue Devil-Deacon game will show
two clubs with apparent powerful Of
fensive attacks. Dukes passing is far
superior, however, and it would
seem that their defense is stronger
If this is so, theree's no telling what
can happen Saturday. 1t may turn
out to be the best ball game Of the
year in this section, who knows.
Wake Forests 100 points in
six games to-dale this season is
the highest team scoring mark in
TIE nation In the last three games,
the Deacons have rolled up 131
points without yielding a single
point.
Wake Forests Demon Deacons
have rolled up 1928 yards rushing
the ball in six games this season
for an average Of $40 IL yards per
tilt.

Commissioner Connor
 Cites Statistics In
 Address In Virginia
Points Out Nighttime as Most Dangerous Period For Autoists Stresses the Danger of Reduced Visi-
 bility-Impartial Law Enforcement Needed

Connecticut during the past five years were night mishaps, despite the fact that only about one third of the days traffic volume passes over the highways at night, as compared with stwo-thirds registered during the hours of daylight.
 Theories Unsound
 Theoretically, Commissioner Con- ner said, the reduced traffic vol ume at night should not only de- velop a traffic accident decrease in like proportion but, because of other factors, should enjoy higher safe driving experience. But, the auth ority observed, such is not the case in Connecticut or elsewhere.
 Except for the menace of alco- holic operation, Comsr. Connor con- tinued, the only logical cause of the accidents is the difference in visi- bility between day and night. He added that he believes there is a great deal more night operation of motor vehicles by persons who have been drinking than available records indicate.
 During the calendar year 1888 Comsr. Connor cited, there were 316 fatal accidents. Of these mis- haps, 218 or 69 per cent, were night accidents. The remaining 98 cases were caused between sunrise and sunset.
 An afficient lighting system, SUD- plemented by effective headlights should afford careful operator such visibility as to enable him tc move at reasonable speed with safety, the commissioner stated, but added that reduced speed must be the immediate solution.
 It is believed in Connecticut, he said, that regulation of night speed is definitely responsible for tht gratifying reduction of 25 per cent in all night traffic accidents fol 1888 as compared with 1897, @ de. crease which developed drop o! 20 per cent in night fatal accidents
 Enforce Laws
 To enforce reduced speed there k no reason why streets and high. ways should not be patrolled al night, Comsr. Connor declared, anc added that in cities where, so far as Connecticut is concerned, TO per. cent of the pedestrian problem i. centered in B communities, speed ing operators should be checked and with firm hand".
 The promulgation of a regulation is not in itself an effective agency to reduce speed. Comsr. Connol added, but proper and impartial en- forcement will achieve the objec' tive.
