Reports on the Red Cross Drive
among the students and in Chapel Hill
were very incomplete when the Tar
Heel went to press. . The reports that
were in late Saturday night, however,
indicated that the canvassing among
the students is to yield, not so much
as has been hoped for, but fully as
much as might reasonably be expected
at this time.
Carolina men are giving to the Red
Cross as willingly and as freely as they
can; but a combination of causes seems
linked against ft drive for money just
now. For one thing, Thanksgiving,
and a costly trip into Virginia to seo
a football game, is at hand for the
greater part of the students. .For the
others, there is a rather expensive trip
home, for Thanksgiving; then it is not
very long until the Christmas holidays;
and after that, there are the winter
quarter bills to be paid. ,
Another thing that helps to keep
down the students' subscription is the
fact that a good many students have
preferred to have their membership ex
tended in their home town.
Taking everything into consideration,
the reports indicate that the students
are doing their very best to aid the
Red Cross. The post-oflice squad of
workers has been turning in very fav
orable amounts, varying from $15 to
$44 each day. The men working the
dormitories and fraternity houses have
not reported in full as yet, though the
reports in give promise of a fairly good
average. -
As far as the town is concerned, so
few returns are in as to make it impos
sible to foretell the result. Everything
looks good, however, one worker alone
Mrs. Pat Winston, having turned in $71
. The quota for the campus and town
is $1,000, and while on account of un
avoidable conditions, Carolina and
Chapel Hill may not exceed its quota a
very great deal, it is reasonably be
lieved by tho workers that it will reach
its goal.
The names of the workers in various
sections of the town are printed below:
F. J. Haronian, goneral chairman
S. M. Cat hey, chairman of the campus
and sub-chairmen of committees in var
ious parts of the town as follows: busi
ness section, Mrs. Dora Elliott; post
office, Miss Sallie Taylor, Miss Francis
Venable, Miss Jane Toy, Miss Cath
erine Boyd and several others; East
Rosemary Street, Mrs. I. H. Manning";
Coker section, Miss Elizabeth Bran

Phi Beta Kappa To
Initiate In Spring
Only eight quarters of college work
or 24 courses, are now required for
eligibility to the local chapter of the
Phi Beta Kappa national scholarship
fraternity. This statement which has
been rumored on the campus for some
time was confirmed by Dr. Thomas J.
Wilson, Jr., registrar, when approached
on tho subject by a Tar Heel reporter
"It was adopted last commence
mont," said Dr. Wilson, "and it simply
means that students who, for the first.
eight quarters of work at the TIniver
sity, have made an average of 92Vi per
cent and have not failed a single course
will be received into Phi Beta Kappa
some time during the spring quarter.
and not have to wait until class day
exercises at commencement, as has been
tho custom in the past here.'-
When asked how "92 Ms per cent"
was figured under the present system
of marking, Dr. Wilson, who is a Phi
Beta Kappa man himself, explained
that a "one" is counted as 97, a
"two", as 92, a "three" as 85, and
a "four" as 75. Anyone who has re
ceived a five or a six, even though his
av'erago be 92 per cent, is ineligible
for membership in the national order.
Under tho new systom of grading,
which was recently adopted by the fac
ulty and which hns not yet been put
into effect, there must be some new
way of fixing the requirements for Phi
Beta Kappa, for the new system, al
though it provides for grading in "A,"
"B," "C," "D," and "E," and yoS
it is not to be associated with any fig
ures or porc.ont.ago at all, such as the
present system.
The Clifford Devereux Players will
again visit Chapel Hill on December 8.
Because of the pronounced hit made
by this company of players at their per
formance here two years ago, the Caro
lina Playmakers have booked them for
two performances, which will be given
n Memorial Hall.
In the afternoon they will present
Shakespeare's immortal love tale, "Ro
meo and Juliet," while the bill for the
evening is Bernard Shaw's brilliant
satire, "Arms and the Man."
The Devereux Players have several
times presented this bill of plays in
North Carolina this season, and have
been universally lauded for the high
quality of their work. A carload of
new and up-to-date scenery materially
assists in this success.
Both Mr. Devereux and his leading
woman, Miss .anita urar, are wen
known and highly esteemed in Chapel
Hill, not only for their brilliant acting
but also for the charming personalities
which they possess.

BLUE RIDGE DELEGATES
HOLD LM POW WOW
Bon Fire Gathering Decides to Form
Blue Ridge Bank Account
For Next Summer,
That a Blue Ridge bank account, of
which John M. Foushee is treasurer,
is to be opened and that all students
who plan to go to the Southern Stu
dents Conference of the Y. M. 0. A.
at Blue Ridge next June may save mon
ey for the trip by depositing on this
account, was the decision reached at
the first gathering of the Blue Ridge
Club sinee last June.
The gathering was around a huge bon
fire near the Playmakers Amphitheater
in the Battle Park woods last Thursday
night, at which about thirty members
of Carolina's record-breaking delega
tion to Blue Ridge last June roasted
weiners and toasted marshmallows to
heart's content, recalling how "Tur
tle" Wilson and Alan McGee had won
the baseball pennant for Carolina ic
the hostly contested series with Geor
gia Tech, Vanderbilt and Southern Col
lege as chief rivals; how "Poindy'
Poindextcr had run up to High Top
before breakfast every morning, while
Jim Bradley broke the ice off the swim
ming pool at 6 p. m. every day.
Secretary Comer, of the "Y," an
nounced amid cheers that he expected
to drown out the hated Georgia Tech
by taking along 100 in the delegation
next June instead of a paltry forty.
The club further decided to have a
full page given to its picture in the
11123 Yacktey Yack because "Georgia
Tech did."
J. M. Saunders, chairman of the Blue
Ridge committee of the "Y," announc
ed that all snapshots taken at Blue
Ridge or on any trip around there, such
as to Mount Mitchell, Chimney Rock,
High Top, Webb Towor or elsewhere,
would be gladly received by II. D. Dulg,
202 C, for the' "N. C. C. W.-U. N. C.
Book" which the Blue Rridge club
keeps.
Dean Tells Frosh
Wherejo Get Off
"Broken Blossoms" might have been
an appropriate title for Dean Brad
shaw's talk in chapel Wednesday morn
ing. Heretofore the dean has been
1,, in hia nrnisft nf the class of '26
and with his prophetic insight hns laid
bare many of the future honors that
await that class. But he ceased his
ambrosial flattering of the frosh and
amply convinced them that though they
were roses, they were not without
thorns.
To the freshmen he laid the honor
of instituting several new customs that
did not striko him as being desirable
of becoming traditional. He assured
the attentive audience that he was
awaro that the University had been vic
torious over V. M. I. and was even
today painfully reminded of that fact
whenever he went down to view the
hoautiful ivy-clad South, basking in
(Continued on page three)
Captain Grady Pritchard's team,
which is perhaps the fastest colloctiou
of gridiron warriors that have worn the
"N. C." since 1900, if not in all time,
will thrill thousands of frenzied spec
tators for the last time Thursday.
While Carolina has a slightly stronger
eleven than Virginia, their combat
it going to be too close for comfort
on either side. Realizing that Coac'i
"Tommy" Campbell will send a form
idable eleven out on Lambeth Field to
participate in the Turkey Day argu
ment, the Tar Heels have worked hard
and earnest and intend to play hard
to the last regardless of the score.
Reports from the rival training
camps say that every varsity man will
be in shape to take his regular posi
tion when the annual conflict begins.
Oppleman and Thesmar will probably
get a chance to face Carolina after
being on the injured list most of the
season. Campbell has transformed the
Orange and Blue team into a remark
ably smooth running machine in the
last three or four weeks.
The Fetzer brothers are almost sure
to start their regular varsity line-up
which has entered a majority of Caro
Una's games. The Blue and White
coaches will take no chances during
the "Virginia game, and will substitute
fresh men freely. In the matter of
reserve strength, Carolina has an ad
vantage over the Sorebacks, who have
been short of capable substitutes in
several games.
The largest throng in the history of
Lambeth Field is expected from the
way in which Virginia athletic officials
are being swamped with mail orders
for seats. Several special trains will
carry an enormous crowd of Tar Heels
to Charlottesville to cheer for their
team and state.

NO POST-SEASON GAME
SAYS CHAIRMAN HOBBS
Coaches and Trainer Approve Decision
to Abide by Conference
Recommendation.
Carolina will abide by the declara
tion of the Southern Intercollegiate
Conference against post-season football
games, according to a unanimous de
cision arrived at in a meeting last week
of the faculty committee on athletics.
Tho decision meets with the approval
of the coaches and trainer.
A. W. Hobbs, chairman of the com
mittee, made the following statements
concerning the declaration:
"In view of considerable discussion
that has been taking place about pro
posed post-season football games, our
committee thinks it proper to announce
that they are in favor of carrying out
the declared policy of the Southern In
tercollegiate Conference with regard to
such .contests.
"Section I, Article 7 of the confer
ence regulations says: 'The members
of this conference agree with tho rec
ommendations of the National Collegi
ate Athletic Association that member
institutions play no post-season games
in any intercollegiate sport.'
"Although this does not absolutely
prohibit post-season games, our com
mittee has voted unanimously that the
University of North Carolina should
regard Thanksgiving Pay as closing
its varsity season.
"The decision of tho conference in
this matter was reached after careful
consideration. It was the judgment of
the delegates that from the standpoint
of classroom duties, physical condition
of players, and the general relationship
between athletics and other collegiate
activities, it would be unwise to pro
long the football season into December.
Aside from the fact that our commit
tee regards this as a sound decision in
itself, we do not believe it advisable
to embrace a policy specifically disap
proved by it."
HON. "PETE" MURPHY
ALMOST ADMITS IT
Hon. Walter "Pete" Murphy, of
Salisbury, president of the AlumnikAs-
sociation. was in Chapel Hill Wednes
day. Mr. Murphy almost admits that
the wonder team of 1922 is as good as
his team of 1893, and he says he wants
to seo the entiro student body at the
Virginia game Thanksgiving Day.
Major Cain Talks
To Civil Engineers
The William Cain Student Chapter
of the American Society of Civil En
gineers, held its regular weekly meet
ing last Thursday at 12:40 in Phillips
Hall.
Major William Cain, patron of the
society, made a very interesting talk
on his experiences in planning and con
structing railroads in the pioneer days.
Major Cain related many thrilling in
cidents and he showed the society an
old book of engineering formulas and
tables which was once dropped in the
Mississippi river and remained there
for three days. The book was of real
interest to the society because of its
antiquity and of its narrow escapes of
being lost.
Major Cain also made remarks and
gave to the members of the society val
uablo "tips" about the engineering
nrofession in general. This advice
seemed to be appreciated by all because
it was realized that it came from one
who stands upon the apex in the en
gincering field.
Aside from the experiences which
Major Cain related, he also touched
upon the morals which an eoginoer
should possess, and he emphasized the
fact that clean and upright living was
just as essential to success in engineer
ing as in any other profession. The
speaker strongly condemned the habit
of drinking, and gave example of bril
iinnt. students losina out on this ac
count.
FOUNDATIONS LAID
FOR LAW BUILDING
For the first time in tho history of
Carolina-Virginia freshman football the
Tar Heel eleven completely outclassed
the Old Dominion players and won 12-6
on Emorson Field Saturday afternoon.
Tho score does nyt indicate the real
difference between tho two teams, for
time after timo tho Carolina freshmen
rushed tho ball within striking dis
tance of Virginia's goal, only to lose
it by a bad break. The Orange and
Blue team was able to make only throe
first downs, while Alexander's charges
ran up a total of 14.
In the first quarter after Bruce 's at
tempt to kick a goal from placement
failed, Devin punted to Virginia's 35
yard line. Street recovered the fumblo
and on the first play Undorwood went
over left guard for 15 yards, and on
the next attempt Devin covered the re
maining distance on an off-tackle play.
And in the final period when Devin 's
drop-kick was blocked a Carolina man

FRESHMAN MAKES DEBATE
MUSIC CLUBS COME BACK
TO HILL AFTER CONCERTS
Western Trip Is Decided Success Six
Towns Visited Royal Entertainment
By Friends and Alumni.
After a week's successful concert
tour of the western part of the state,
during which Winston-Salem, Hickory,
Hendorsonville, Asheville, Morganton,
Charlotte aond Greensboro were vis
ited, the Music Clubs are back at Chap
el Hill. The program was given in
Gorrard Hall Monday night. That the
future success of the Music Clubs is
assured, seems evident from tho largo
percentage of lower classmen included
in tho personnel.
"An evenly balanced program," says
the Asheville Times of the University
musicians, a sentiment echoed by all
the audiences before whom tho clubs
appeared.
N. C. Cordon was well received in his
solos, "At Dawning" and "Smiling
Through." The saxophone quintet af
forded much mirth for the audience.
The orchestra, under the leadership of
Mr. Sheldon, was at its best in "Poet
and Peasant Overture." Tho Glee Club
was well balanced and made a fine
showing. The quartet, composed of
Cordon, Brown, Mendenhall and Mon
roe, received many encores.
Tho mandolin club, under the leader
ship of T. C. Coxe, scored a big hit.
The second part of the program, "The
Flappors' Opera," kopt the house-in
a continuous state of laughter. Isabel,
tho fat girl, played by John Menden
hall, was tho outstanding feature of
the performance.
The members of the Music Clubs wore
royally entertained by friends and
alumni on the trip.
Foundations for the now law build
ing, which is tho last building of tho
University building program provided
for iii the act of the legislature in 1920,
are being laid. The building, which is
to be fireproof throughout, will contain
21 rooms, and is booked to be com
pleted sometime in April. The front
will be finished in granite and lime
stone and will face the court between
Saunders and the new language build
ing. There will be three floors, in
cluding the basement. The main floor
will contain a reading room and offices,
while on the second floor there will
be two large lecture rooms, one small
lecture room and a few other small
rooms.
Miss Elizabeth Taylor, of the Bu
reau of Community Drnma, has return
ed from Franklin, where she supervised
the production of a historical pageant
written by herself and produced by
tho teachers in the Franklin school.
Blue Tornado Loses
To the San ford High
By romping on the Durham "Blue
Tornado," to the tuno of 6 to 0 on
Emerson field Thursday afternoon the
Siinford Highs won their way to the
semi finals in the race for the State
High School football crown, and kept
their record clean for tho season as an
undefeated cloven.
Sanford received tho kick-off and
when they failed to gain Holland punt
ed to Cheek on Durham's 20 yard line.
Cheek fumbled and a Sanford man fell
on the ball. Six lino plays and a five
yard penalty for Durham put the ball
on the one yard line. Then Cathell
went' over for the only score of th-j
game. ,'
Tho first half belonged distinctly to
Sanford, but Durham rallied gamely
and mado nine first downs in tho last
half to only four made by Sanford.
Both teams were nblo to gain in mid
field but when they would get within
striking distance of tho opponents goal
their offense would collapse completely-
B. nacknoy for Durham and Frazicr
for Sanford did good work and showed
promise of developing into real stars.
Tho Phi and Di have ehoson their
representatives for the Mary D. Wright
Debate, which will be held in Gerrard
Hall on tho night of December 9.
Tho query to bo discussed this year
is, "Resolved: That the Railroad Lab
or Board bo given power to enforce
it's decisions." Tho Phi supports the
affirmative whilo tho Di defonds the
negative.
The men who were selected to par
ticipate in the final debate won out
ovor a largo field of competitors in
each society. In the Phi contest J.
M. Saunders and W. Dabney White,
with Frank Essie as alternate, wore
seloctod to uphold the affirmative in
the forensic tilt with the Di. Others
competing for places were E, C. Jerni
gan, J. J. Bealo, N. C. Barefoot, J. R.
Allsbrook, O. E. Spencer and A. M.
Scarborough.
The competition in the Di was al
most as great. Seven men went out for
the negative. The judges finally decid
ed that L. T. Bledsoe and H. D. Duls,
with C. A. Peelor as alternate, should
carry forth the standard of the Di in
an offort to reverse the decision of last
year. Other negative speakers were
W. E. White, John Foushee, H. S.
Capps, and E. L. Justice
The judges in the preliminaries were
II. F. Comer, Homer Hoyt and W. J.
Matherly in the Phi, and R. D. W. Con
nor, C. A. Hibbard and F. F. Brad
shaw for the Di.
There has been much rivalry over the
winning of this debate, and the gold
medal offered to the best individual
speaker. Last year Victor Young, rep
resenting tho Phi won the coveted
medal.
The Mary D. Wright Dobate is es
sentially a junior-senior affair, but this
year a sophomore and a freshman, J.
M. Saundors and L. T, Bledsoe, have
won the honor of being tho first of their
class to make tho Mary D. Wright
Debate.
Tennis Team Also
Invades Virginia
Manager Jeruigan announces that
tho tennis team will piny its last tour
naments of the fall on the Virginia
trip next week. The University of
Richmond will bo taken on Tuesday,
November 28, at Richmond, and Wed
nesday, November 29, the annual tour
nament with tho University of Virginia
will bo played at Charlottesville.
Tho men who have been showing up
best and who will, in all probability,
make tho trip are: Coxe, Bruton, Jor
nigan, and Johnston, with Smith run
ning as fifth man. Each of these men
has made a letter in tennis, and wore
on last years team which was one of
the best in the country.
PHI SOCIETY HAS
EXTENSIVE PROGRAM
The ninth meeting of tho Phi Assem
bly on lust Saturday night had a full
and extensive program, including twiJ
resolutions in addition to the annual
freshman intra-society debate. The
meeting was opened by discussion on a
bill introduced by the ways and means
committee favoring the admission of
co-eds into the membership of tho Thi
Assembly, This liill was defeated bv
a rather close vote. The second reso
lution was one endorsing President
Harding's Subsidy Bill. This resolu
tion was tabled until the next meeting
in order that the Assembly could have
time to better inform itself on this bill.
The Assembly was then thrown open
to the annual intra-society debate on
tho query: "Resolved, That tho recent
Soldiers' Bonus Bill as passed by Con
gress should bo adopted." The affirma
tive was upheld by R. P. Umstead and
R. L. Hollowell, and the negative was
upheld by II. M. Privette and M. M.
Young. The judges, K. C. Frazier, R.
II. Wetnch and A. R. Yv'hitehurst, voted
unanimously in favor of the negative,
selecting Malcolm M. Young as the best
debater on the winning side.
