...Anthony Biddle last week inaugurated a return to the sporting traditions of a hundred years ago by buying, for his personal amusement, an interest in a professional fighter. The fighter was René De Vos, Belgian contender for the middleweight championship; sports - writers laughed merrily for days at the notion ot a respectable person engaging in the fight racket and of a decently dressed and wellspoken person undertaking to pat and rub a bloody pugilist between the rounds of a fight...

Both are light and fast, the type of guard that can lead interference well and fits in perfectly with the Rockne notion of football. Blackwood was a star lineman on the 1927 first-year outfit and has superseded Donahue an experienced letterman in the scramble for honors this fall. Shuler, on the other hand, is playing in his last year of competition; he has been a bulwark of strength on two preceding North Carolina elevens and Coach Collins can feel sure that...
