Gridden Throws Bull for a Loss ANVILLE, Ky., September 9 (). —Centre College has a bull- fighting fullback who should be a tower of strength to the Colonels this year. He is Dallas Long, 213 pounds, of Augusta, Ark. Returning from foot ball practice late yesterday, Long added an extra session of drill by tackling a bull that had strayed from a stock yard and was charging right and left on Danville streets. Long grabbed the bull's neck, threw it to the ground and held the animal until it was roped. He emerged from his experience with only a few scratches.

GOOD many people down in A the Tarheel State are voic- | ing almost a collective opinion that Duke Univer- sity is going to make the other big North Carolina schools, namely, | North Carolina University and North Carolina State College, sit up and take notice. When Duke University was" Trinity College, without many students and with less money, it played third fiddle to the univer- sity and the State college, but ap- parently the worm is about to turn, Duke in the next few years, if some predictions come true, is slated to play the leading role in North Carolina in most things pertaining to education, and | of these things not the least is intercol- | legiate athletics. And Duke pecple, naturally partisan to the above-mentioned view, hope that as far as foot ball is concerned the change will begin this Fall. Anyway, all | that can be done in the matter of 1.re- sight and preparation to bring this | Our line should be as good as it was then, although our backfield probabiy will fall short in that it will not have any one ball carrier as capable as Murra, “You realize that what I am telling you is based somewhat on what I have gleaned from the opinions of others, as I have not been with the squad long enough to get a real line on the men. 1 do know, though, that having to play South Carolina in our opening game, with the game at Columbia, is not a particularly good way for us to open L UNIVERSITY, Va. September 9.— Virginia will have 14 letter-men of 1930 on the varsity squad this Fall and not 20 as was expected at the close of last season. Capt. Willlam Thomas of Richmond, Ward Brewer of East Hartford, Conn.; Herbert Bryant of Alexandria, Va.; Douglas Myers of Petersburg, Va.: Benjamin Pinder of Richmond, Va., and Frank Sippley of Princeton, N. J., are the veteran backs. Returning to the line are William De Butts of Barboursville, Va., guard; Charles Poss of Charlottesville, Va., and Christopher Thompkins of Rich- mond, Va., tackles; Lewis Reiss of New York, center, and William Condon of Memphis, Tenn.; Segar Gravatt of Blackstone, Va.,, and William St. Clair of Price Hill, W. Va., ends. ‘Willlam Williams of Richlands, Va., a tackle who won his “V” two years ago but who was not eligible last season, may be added. But he is doubtful, for laboratories will in all probability pre- vent his playing. At the close Motley, captain and tackle, was the only letter-man of 1930 who was not expected to play this Fall. But before the session had ended Robert Kimball and William McIntire, tackle and guard, left the University to be married. Norwood Orrick, veteran end, will be prevented from playing by his work in indian: 0 November 21—Iowa, at Iowa City. Foot Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. Notre Dame's ball—third down, § yards to go. The center's pass is to the No. 4 back. He spins to the right to pull all defensive men to- ward their left and fakes passing the ball to No. 3. No. 3 fakes tak- ing it as he runs toward the de- fensive right end. No. 1 also comes around as on the reverse play ex- plained yesterday. A fake pass is also made to No. 1. Back 2 swings across to cut down the defensive right end, a move that somewhat pDuke’s biggest foot ball game is with the University of North Carolina. If Wade can take the long end of the score in that one contest he will have a successful season as far as Durham people are concerned. Wade is a good coach, has done good work everywhere he has been, and will do well at Duke. He may not have a world-beating team this year, but eventually will put across his job in a big way. WORD comes from Rehoboth Beach, Del., that Georgetown's squad is rounding to in good shape, even better than Coach Tom Mills at first expected, Mills has expressed himself as being better than satisfled with the present condition of his squad, although, of course, this does not mean that Mills predicts unusual success in winning games, ‘The men now are going into their | second week of practice and are be- ginning to learn what real foot ball workouts mean.

Price and O O " quality must be considered together. And Stetson hats, s although lower in price now, are finer, sturdier, more distinguished in style than ever before. For sixty-six years, John B. Stetson Company has been making hats which are recognized, not only in the United States, but throughout the world, as supreme in wearing quality and style. More hats have been sold, more are now being worn, bearing the Stetson name, than any other brand. This reduction in price is made possible by improvements in manufacturing methods and by lowering of the cost of raw materials. Manufacturing hats is a highly technical operation. It requires art to express the latest styles, and skill to make hats which will hold their: shape through long wear—1in sun, rain, snow, sleet. : Stetson hats are sold in all countries of the world. In America you will find them in nearly every store that sells quality hats. This results from public confidence and this confidence will never be shaken by putting the Stetson label in a hat nof worthy of it. You can buy a Stetson hat with full assurance of its style and value, h Lowest prices in 10 years - S
