TABERNACLE QUlNT
BEATS S0UTHSlDE
Emmanuel And Calvary Also
Win In Close Contests Of
Church School Play

Play in the intermediate, Sun

unusually close and. exciting games
on the Y.M.C.A. court last night.
In the first, Tabernacle over
came a 1877 half-time lead to finish
strong and trim the Southside Bap-
fist quint by a 27-23 count. This
was a thriller with a fast and fu-
rious finish. Johnny OGphant was
high scorer with 9 points but Ia
bernacle flashed a better balanced
scoring machine. James and H.
Kelly .tallying 8 each and F. Kelly
and Raynor 6 each.
The second game was even clos
er, Emmanuel staging a rally to
come from behind an 1872 half-time
score and defeat an "underdog"
Epworth team by a score of 26

had not scored a win this season
and was rated easy meat for the
up and coming Emmanuel cagers
but almost threw a monkey
wrench into the latter's win streak
with a bit of fancy shooting in
the second quarter. They. main
tanned "a slim lead going into the
final quarter but saw their chances
sunk with Pridgen's last moment
Grip" Clark of the losers and
Pridgen Of the winners tied for
scoring honors with 10 points
each.
The third and final game turned
out to be a hair-raiser in the final
period after Calvary had held a
commanding lead going in to the
fourth quarter, Calvary staving
off the Lutheran Missions closing
rally to win by 20-19. T. Hales, Lu-
theran Mission center went out on
fouls in the second period, and Nc
Koy, Calvary center was elimi-
mated by the same route in the
fourth. The Mission rally really
got going in this fourth period and
with a little better shooting, would
have taken this game, going away.
McKoy with II points led the win

OfNo-Trade Rule
i. Seen At Baseball Meet
Yanks Are Now Out From I'm
der Yoke; Sale Of Powell
Biggest Deal OF Day
BY JUDSON BAILEY

ATLANTA, Dec. 6.-R-It was
a year ago this week that the
American league handcuffed tn e
New York Yankees with its no
trade rule, and though its virus
has been pass | along now to De-
troit.. the effect fingers on.
Joe Mccarthy, one of the smooth
est managers in the business, has
been hanging around on the fringe
of the minor league meetings all
week with his eyes and ears wide
open and today he made a deal.
He sent outfielder Jake Powell
to San Franciscn of the Coast
league for approximately the wa1v'
er price of $500. That hardly
could be construed as an impress
sive first step in the reconstruction
of the former champions.
But it was indicative of the trad
ing doldrums into which the Amer.
can league has fallen. The biggest
deal that was put through in the
Junior circuit was the Boston Red
Sox sale of two second line pitch
ers, Dennis Galehouse and Fritz
Ostermueller, to the St. Louis
Browns.
The Detroit Tigers, who in the
past have been active dealers, now
are helpless and Manager Del 'Bak'
er wandered around the Hobbies
here looking pathetic over having
nothing to do. .
The situation was sufficiently
serious that rumors were around
that the restriction on trading by
the pennant winner might be liftec
when the American league meets
in Chicago Starting next Tuesday
Baker said he wasn't very hope
full and Mccarthy said he hadn't
heard anything of such a move,
but said the position of the Yank'
ees toward the rule was a well
known negative.
If the rule is not removed mex
week the reason probably will be
that some of the clubs, in the spiri
of fair play, feel the teams tina
legislated the Yankees out of the
world championship now should
suffer the same restrictions.
There may be some other trad
ing at Chicago. The baseball PEG
pile scattered to their homes to-
day, or advanced on to Chicago
and the fact that they were all 60
ing to get together again may have
caused some deals to be left hang
ing over the weekend.
The closing business session O:
the minors convention a S de

ling players drafted for army serv

day had passed ar amendment tt

SEATS ARE SCARCE
FOR PRO CONTEST
Bears-Redskins Title Tilt Is a
Sellout; Scalpers Have
Last Laugh

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-R)-
From the way things looked today
it's going to be a lot harder to get
into the Washington Redskins-Chi'
cago Bears football game Sunday
than it is to get into the White
House.
Tourists who want to see the in
side of the executive mansion mere
ly have to stand in line and try to
keep from looking like suspicious
characters when they reach the
door.
You car stand all day and night
IN line outside the gates of the
Worlds Series" of professional foot
ball and look like an army general,
but you'd better have a ticket.
Griffith stadium will accommodate
about 36,1O0 for the contest, which
is a pity, because there must be U.s.
900 who want to see the struggle
of the play-for-payers.
All seats were bought last week
"a few hours after they went on
sale, and the scalping is. terrific. The
hotel in which President Carl Storck
of the National league is staying has
a sign in the lobby advertising tick
cts for the game There's. a premium
on them, however.
Senators and representatives-who
usually al get into anything in
the capital-are frantically making
calls trying to round up tickets.
George Preston Marshall, presi-
dent of the Redskins, denied how
ever, that the scalpers had any good
seats for sale.
II can say" he asserted, that
there isn't a seat between the goal
posts in the hands of a scalper un-
less he got them from a season ticket
holder"
The Redskins held a long practice
this morning, Coach Ray Flaherty
sending them through many new OF
fensive plays. Tomorrow the Bears
arrive and will hold their practice
in the afternoon.
Marshall, who has some sort o.
mysterious connection with the
weather man, said he had learned
personally" that rain will fall to
morrow, but that Sunday will b.
fair.

Versatility of gridiron deception out
- a hand of fair-to-middling ball
n1avers that lacked the lustre OF a

that country boy" idea to the
public, he made the fans OF the
state feel a kinship to the players
and it brought dividends.
And to Col. Gillette goes the
credit of instilling the country
boy idea into the minds OF the
N. C. State alumni. To the mind
of Col. Gillette a football team
made up of native stock is better
than a team made up of foreign
imports. He figured that the team
would be better, State college
would be better by it and the gen
eral taxpaying and game : going
public would Like it better. He was
right-they did.
Can Still Crow
/ Several weeks ago right after
J State had upset William and Mary
; and ran rampant over Davidson,
! the Colonel called us up and asked,
Don't you think we State college
people are entitled to cro a little
4 bit noW?" =
At that time State was unde-
feated, united and unsecured on and
everybody was talking about the
1910 Wolfpack eleven. We told the
Colonel that he'd better o then
as the game with Clemson was
coming up, and it might be too
late to wait a couple of weeks.
However, now that the season is
over and all the ac%counting's done
we figure that the Colonel and the
rest of the state college alumni
can still crow about their 1910
team.
Year Around
This season State won three
games and lost six. They came
within breathing distance of beat
ing Carolina and Wake Forest and
booked their worst against Duke.
One of the players, Bob Cathey,
won the Mills blocking back
uophy-the first time a member
Of the Wolfpack has received this
honor.
But the thing that has kept the
Wolves yelping is the fact that they
didn't fail to score in a single
game. Thus they set a record for
State teams.
In 1927 when State college won
all of it's Southern conference
games and the circuit champion
ship, it had plenty of supporters.
But in the lean years that fol-
lowed these fair weather friends
dropped from the band-wagon one
by one, until it got to the place
that "cussing out" the State col
lege football team was a favorite
pastime around Raleigh.
Things were different this year.
The last of the Hunk Anderson i'm
ports-''the coal mine gang as
some critics called them - were
gone. In their place Doc Newton
had a band of Tar Heels, hailing
from nearly every section of the
state, and this band of country
boys won praise for their work.
d The early season State college
band-wagon is still rolling There
have been few deserters. It's win
or lose now and the spirit of the
-Wolfpack of old has returned.
We salute the country boys" 1
