Carolina. as another reward for its
sensational, stupendNus and colossal
victory over Duke-just furnish me
a few more adjectives and I'll use
them-in the football battle of the
ages at Chapel Hill last Saturday,
gets to roost on the top OF the Big
Five heap for at least a week.
Thus, despite four losses and the
worst record it has completed since
1888, Carolina Is assured of at least
a tie for the mythical state cham
pionship, This seems to affirm a
saying frequently heard that victory
over Duke guarantees a successful
season for the Tar Heels.
The 1889 Carolina team, which had
a much more impressive record for
the entire season, lost to Duke and
landed in second place in the Big
Five.
Duke, hailed in preseason dope as
being Wallace Wade's greatest Blue
Devil aggregation, has shown in sew
eral battles that the preseason
prophets were not altogether wrong
the battle with Carolina was no
exception. Yet Duke has lost two
m it wanted most to win from
it's bitterest rivals. Tennessee and
Carolina.
In addition, Duke will have to beat
Doc Newton's sprightly country
boys" Saturday in order to move
alongside Carolina in a tie for Big
Five honors. State started the sea-
son by kicking the dope bucket for
a. loop in licking William and Mary
and came within a Deacon's whisker
of doing the same thing to powerful
Wake Forest.
Oh. YES, when it comes to Big
Five honors, Wake Forest is the sad
dest, screwiest case Of all. The
Deacons took the Tar Heels by sur
prise and beat the tar out of them,
played Duke on nearly even terms
for half the game before bowling,
and then came from behind in the
last minutes of play to whip State.
Wake Forest is in a tie with Duke
for SECOND place in the Big Five
The Deacons can do no better. Their
Big Five season is over
The only reason the Deacons cant
make it a three-way deadlock is that
they had a verbal instead of a grid
iron TT with Davidson. The
word battle ended in breaking OF
football relations between the two.
AS a result Wake Forest played few
er Big Five games than Carolina
and Duke and will have one less
game in the win column.
Few folks doubt that the Deacons
could spot Davidson three touch
downs and win with ease. That's
the main reason they're not playing
any more.

DARNELL, KILLIAN
!. OUT WITH HURTS
Offensive S%crimmage Against
Reserves Held; Wolfpack
Busy With Practice

DURHAM, Nov. 49, R-Duke's
Blue Devils put in another full ses-
sion this afternoon in preparation
for Saturdays Southern conference
and Big Five clash with N. C. State.
After the usual group work with
the backs, ends and linemen drilling
under Coaches Eddie Cameron,
Dutch Stanley and Dumpy Hagler,
there was a brisk offensive scrim-
mage against the reserves.
In the skirmish the outstanding
running was done by Winston Sieg-
fried, Bill Wartman and Steve Lach.
Wartman was shaken loose for sew
eral good runs.
Leonard Darnell, veteran end, and
Frank Killian, veteran halfback,
missed the drill due to injuries. OAR
nell has a bad knee and Killian hurt
an ankle in practice yesterday. Both
will probably be able to play Satur-
day. Moffat Storer, of course, is
still out of action and will not get
back this season.
The Blue Devils are making plans
for another tough engagement.
There is no rest because State has a
habit of saving it's best ball game
for Duke, and this year is not ex-
pected to be any exception. 1t looms
as a fine contest.
A victory for Duke would put
them in a percentage tie with Caro-
lima for the Big Five :it1N and would
assure them of at least a tie for Sec
ond place honors in the conference.
Clemson will be the conference
champ if the Tigers top Furman

officials.
Raised Stock
Probably it did raise the stock
of Cornell and Snavely quite a bit.
The former Carolina coach and
his team had lost prestige since
that cylinder quarterback episode
and the show of craftsmanship on
the part of the Ithacans raised the
school in the eyes of many peo-
pie.
That concession victory was
rather odd at that. So far as
and the record books
serve us there hasn't been any
thing closely to parallel it to date.
A lot of things happen in football
and this fifth down. incident
rates as one of the top stories of
the year in the gridiron depart
ment.
8 Vaudeville
And if this wasn't enough for
one week, there came along a lit
tie item yesterday that George
Jessel, the cigar-smoking comedl-
an, is heading a syndicate that
wants to buy the Brooklyn Dod-
gers.
That should be a good combina-
ton. The Dodgers have been New
York's best vaudeville attraction
for ears now and apparently JeS-
sci recognizes the fact. Larry
MacPhail and Jessel can we'll at
ties to the fact that there's good
money in being funny.
The Dodgers will still be eccen-
trio. And just in case there has
to be a song and dance involved
in the business, George M. Cohan
is trying to be one of the owners.

One Shot, Two Seized
In Police Battles
With Robbers
Another Suspect Believed
Wounded in Trop
At N Street Home

Revolvers roared last night as
police chased suspected robbers
around town and when the smoke
of battle had cleared one man was
hospitalized with gun-shot wounds,
another was believed to be wounded
and two others were behind bars.
The shootings were two separate
actions. The first began at pm.
when police were called to a house
at 1911 Sixth street NV. and found
a colored man with bullet wounds in
both hands.
AS the police approached, a colored
youth was seen to flee out the back
door. The wounded man, John H.
Beauknight, 81, was removed to
Freedmen's Hospital for treatment.
Liquor Store Held Up.
About two hours later, three COL
ored youths, including the one who
had shot Beauknight, entered a
liquor store, at 1410 Ninth street
NV, and ordered Proprietor Sam
Wertleib of 1901 c street Sc, to
hand over the cash.
If you don't keep quiet" they
told him, well do what we did over
in Deanwood."
Remembering that Herman Sirkis,
Deanwood liquor store owner, was
shot to death recently while re-
sisting holdup men, Mr.. Wertleib
handed over $110 In cash and the
youths fed.
In another two hours, police got
second call to 60 to the house at
ISL Sixth street NV. Policemen
Charles Burns and G. G.. Edwards
answered the call and were fired
upon by the same colored youth they
had seen fleeing earlier. The youth
made his escape, but was pursued
by the two officers, who were Joined
in the chase by two more policemen.
These officers were Charles A.
Scott and j. A. Osterman of the
Traffic Bureau, who caught up with
the fugitive at Fifth and Neal streets
NV. and exchanged shots with him
But again the youth got away.
At Fourth and P streets NV. a
few minutes later, he came upon
Joseph Best of 113 Hepburn street
Sc, showed his gun and ordered
the man to hail cab. Best stopped
a cab, but signaled the driver that
something was amiss.
Best and the driver overpowered
the colored youth and were strug-
Cling in the street with him when
Policemen Burns and Edwards ap-
peared and put him under arrest.
At the second precinct, he ad-
mitted participation in the LIQUOR
store robbery and gave the name
OF his companions, one of whom was
arrested. The other is still sought.
They will be questioned in connec-
ton with the murder of Mr.. Sirkis,
but police were not hopeful that
this arrest would solve the killing

when Mr. and Mrs. James Kennedy.

The policemen pursued him to a
