North And South Carolina
Meet In Annual Grid
Classic

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. s. Up -
The North and South Carolina
football Navies dropped anchor
IS miles apart tonight, and ev-
erything was set for their annual
classic here tomorrow at 2:30,
with the outcome regarded as 4
toss-up.
The home forces ran through
their last light maneuvers here,
while the Gamecocks sailed up
from Columbia this afternoon and
stood by tonight at Sanford.
The rival coaches, Doc Newton
and Gene McEver, once worked
together at Davidson, and both
use much the same wide-open sys~
tenn, with lots of fancy ball-hand-
ling, deception, passing, tricks
and strategems.
Each squadron lost seven play
ers by Navy transfers or injuries
this week, but only one loss on
each side was a regular, and the
old rivals were regarded as vir-
tually even in weight, experience,
stars and total power.
