Tar Heel Raiders Rehearse
Thrill Show For Cat Game

arations to make the occasion a gala
day. Other features on the program
viii include q pep meeting Friday
night, parade before the game led
by the Carolina, Davidson, high
school, and Legion bands, and a
gridiron pail after the game.
The Tar Heels were able to give
only the barest preview of their
brilliant gridiron show before the
rains came in the State game last
week. But Impresario Ray Wolf re-
hearsed the whole performance TO-
day, ground and air, with a iull
cast, and expected to have the whole
brilliant show ready for the Cats
in Winston-Salem.
The Penn crowd declared the
North Carolina offense was the
most brilliant lightning attack they
had seen. The Tulane audience went
further and declared it surpassed
Texas Christian and Davey O'Brien
And Grantland Rice proclaimed
Carolina the greatest comeback or
stretch team the season has pro-
duced SO ar.
Lalanne and StirnWeiss, who
spark the Tar Heel attack, rank
with the nations finest backs, and
Jimmy and Stirny ranked high
among the nations leading ground
gamers last week.

S. c. Spotlight
On Deacor1s.
Tigers Game

Wake Forest, Nov. 1.-THE con-
test that promises to steal the spot
light in Southern Conference loot
ball this week, will be staged at
Clemson, S. z. Saturday afternoon
between the Deacons Of Wake For
est and the Clemson Tigers.
Although the Deacons nave been
beaten twice in loop play-by
North Carolina and Duke-and the
Tigers are undefeated, critics are
giving Wake Forest an outside
chance 10 emerge victorious.
But down at Clemson Bowl" talk
IS going around, and close hackers
Of the Tigers don't think Wake For
est will be able to do much about
stopping Mr. Bonnie Banks Nc
Fadden and company.
Regardless of this pre-game
speculation, it's certain that the
Deacons are improved over their
early season loss to North Carolina
Duke beat them 60, but only after
the Deacons had gained more
ground against them than any other
club this year And Miami, N. c.
State, Western Maryland, and Mar
snail have all fallen under the Dea-
con onslaught since the disastrous
Tar Heel contest. Before that, South
Carolina and ElOn were clipped de-
clsively.
One of the highlights of this
Clemson-Wake battle will be the
personal duels between the rival
players.
McFadden, Observation-Disclosures for
Coach Jess Neely's Tigers, will con-
duct several feuds with the Wake
Forest men. In the punting depart
ment, he will oppose Coach Pea
head Walkers famous Red May
berry, one of the finest kickers in
the south. Also against this same
Red head, he will wage a battle for
ground gaining honors.
In the ground gaining depart
ment besides McFadden, the Tiger
men will show Shad Bryant, Char
lie Timmons, Bru TreXler and a
host Of others. The Wakes cannot
match the number Of the Clemson
team in ball carriers, but they def
initely can stand their own in de-
ception, power and versatility.
With Red Mayberry, Tony Gallo
vich and John POlanski to run the
wide plays, and Marshal Edwards
and Polanski crashing through the
line, the Deacons have a close and
wide open attack that is dangerous
in any league. 1852 yards gained
rushing in eight contests by Wake
Forest may be somewhat Of rec
ord and certainly strong evidence
of the power packed Deacon at
tack.

tackle and a Winston-Salem boy, by
the way; Paul SEVERN, who snagged
the two passes that tied Tulane and
caught two more touchdown passes
at Penn; and Harry Dunkle, who
ranks fourth among the nations
kickers with a 46.3-yard mark and
has kicked Is out of Is extra points.
Many Tar Heel supporters feel
that the 1889 team does not have
quite the running strength or sheer
power of some Of Cardinals great
teams like 1929 or 1922. But when
it comes to lightning attacks, smart
ness, versatility, and thrill-making,
all are agreed that the Tar Heels
rank with the best. This is quite a
reputation to live up against team
like Davidson, but it's what the Tar
Heels must ace Saturday.
