Sober Carolina
Getting Groggy
Over Grid Tilt

Durham, Nov. 15.-(AP)-
North Carolina, normally made
I'D of sober business men, tObac-
co farmers and folks connected
it'll the cotton textile industry,
was populated today by an esti-
mated 100000 Monday quarter
backs working on vital two
fold question.
All of them were asking,
"WhO's going to win, North Caro-
lima or Duke?'
Some 2,939,OOO wanted to
know, "HOw am 1 going to get
in to see that game Saturday."
The other $1,000 bought their
pasteboards weeks ago. Scalping
was at a minimum because the
ScalperS wanted in, too.
That's history repeating, for
every year the staid Old North
State gets a bad case of football
filters just before this game, and
when a possible Rose Bowl or
Sugar Bowl bid hangs in the
balance it's just that much worse.
Partisans of the undefeated
Tar Heels from the state uni
versity have high hopes of
bowl bid, but they can't forget
the debacle they refer to as the
nightmare of 1885,"
That year Wallace .Iaue'S Blue
Devils had lost to Georgia Tech
and Auburn. But, led by the
great Ace Parker, they came
back to blast Carl Snavely's
unbeaten eleven, $50, and cause
a mass cancellation of reserva-
tons to Pasadena.

touchdowns scored against the Tar
Heels, VINO are led by Jim Woodson,
Paul SEVERN, and Gates Kimball,

country, Tulane and Penn, to turn
the trick

North Carolina and Duke will
stack up even in experience when
they square off for their annual
classic at Durham Saturday. Which
doesn't sound any too good to Tar
Heel supporters, for Duke won that
game 40 Each team has five

Stirny led the ground gamers in

Woodson was a power in the Caro-
Ina line which stopped the Blue
Devils the preceding year.
In addition to Co-Captain Stirn-
weiss and Woodson, Radman, and

The classic North Carolina-Dule
rivalry, which will be renewed at
Durham Saturday, dates back 10
1888 and shows Carolina II wins,
2 ties, and 9 losses. There was a

However, Duke has held the upper

If the North Carolina-Duke game
at Durham Saturday doesn't break

there just aren't enough seat avail
