No. 15 While on the eternal subject of freshmen we wonder what the fresh man who paid three dollars and sixty cents for the grid-graph is going to do with it. . One of the most pleasing features of the current year is R. L. Sides' merry troop of noise makers. They add a wealth of spirit and .zest to the games, and have downed all rival organizations in the battle of music across the gridiron. They filled two of Pendy's big busses and, headed for Kichmond .where they will meet a se rious opponent in the V. M. I. , cadet band. y .. At least there is one Booloo in the liiakmg. ; Tc;sday night, a member, of the class of '27 "entered Ihe room of a' friend"Ja'nd ' in' "l stage whisper asked the said friend Jo go over : to Memorial" Hall and see if any of thV crowd assembled there for the G. C concert were wearing tuxedos. From! under -the raincoat '.-he ;was wearing he displayed one of the, same. Which caIs to mind , the age-old i . question, -Why is,' a- Freshman? , ; . '. ' The usual-quota of hoboes depart-, ed Thursday and Friday for Rich-: mond . with, plenty, of. .optimism and little carfare. The majority of themj forsook the traditional box car route and. plodded along the highway hop ing, yea, expecting a lift in a high powered car. It is far safer and more luxurious .than stealing rides on' pon derous freights, but; deucedly less thrilling. After all. is said and done, the best.. .thing, about, a hobp trip is . the wild account of it, afterwards to a group of awed listeners, A deluge of -X's and W"s descended on the campus last week, raining heavily tja the week enders, the grat ters, and the drug store idlers. -Out of a possible G618, about 1221 warn ing messages were mailed from the Registrar's office or about 20 per cent. And unless the dope is upset, the same twenty percent will be tell ing Pa how it happened when the finals are over. An inspiring sight is offered the spectator from the top of the sta dium during these brisk autumnal afi ternoons that shrieks for paint, brush, and canva3. Crt th-i cleat-torn turf of 'Emorscn field, soma G5 b.ownj Fi-ij members of the varsity go through their daily-antics, beyond the" track on the new athletic )5eld a motley array of shouting students play the gentle game of tag football, on the left 0 healthy freshmen batter each other about the field; all this with a back ground of clear blue sky, and foliage presenting a riot of brilliant colors. One hundred and fifty men' actively engaged in muscle building exercise daily is a promising sign of booming athletics. More gratifying, however, is the outstanding success so far of organized mass athletics in its first year of existence here. Including all branches of sport, both varsity and intra-mural, over 1200 students are taking part in the expansive athle tic program and this figure is in creasing daily, ine cross country run drew 130 participants, the dor mitory football games are producing real competition and enthusiasm, the rough and tumble pushball contests are proving to be popular, the fresh' men gym classes are attended and organized better than ever, and va cant spots on the campus are utilized for impromptu games. Tabled for the coming months are organized soccer games, boxing and wrestling matches, tug o' war, and other contests of like nature. The results have shown that the students are more than ready to join the swim providing the management and ma terials are offered. The University has furnished the organization and the equipment, have issued the appeal for mass athletics, and the masses have replied. Carolina has swung into the country wide movement of some form of physical exsrcise for the average student. Walter Camp, the dean of college sports, obtained the proper slant on intercollegiate athletics when he stated: "There is too much athletics and too few athletes." The parent of all-American teams even went so far as to call the present high tide of college athletics a Frankenstein Monster when 73,000 people watch twenty-two well trained athletes, and when the athlete fears the re proof of the hard boiled coacn more than the professor's call-down. It will be a long time before intra-mural sports will draw equal at tention with intercollegiate athletics, but the pendulum seems to be swing ing that way. And it is encouraging that Carolina is paving the way in this state for the new era. The Wilderness By J. Osier Bailcy In the last Colyum we promised you a series of Essays Essays which we at least, intend to take seriously, but not too serious ly. We beg humbly your patient at tention to this, the first of our se ries: . The Nonsense of n College Education There is no perhaps about it, if we are of "the best of men," we rel ish nonsense! Let this be' a plea for nonsense, then, the effervescense of the. finest sanity. Not this nonsense, that; makes it (a point ''to; keep on. tap all the ready-made joke's we 'hear; our friends have heard those before'. ','... :. The true humorist, we say, the true, nohsensist sees a trleam of. the- ridi culous in everything, from his waffles J to his pajamas. ' . We pity the. man who inters col-l lege without a sense of humor; buU may Heaven help the man who getsu nis sneepsKin ana isn't able even then to. see what a riduciilous piece of j uujicBii a. sneepsKin -is, Slier, all! Think, about it, and let's snot take' ourselves' too seriously!. '.'.'., ,- ' ! The number of cedar-birds who. invade these oak-sequestered precincts; seems to be on the incriase, year' by. year, A ...few days' . ago a student, with - a - prankish temperament . wrote, a letter to. a Freshman friend of his' in which he said that he,5 on behalf of an upper class political ring, had nominated the Fr-,shman': for class president;-and he' requested a photo graph and a statement of his run ning platform. On the next mail they came, together with a grateful, jub ilant letter setting forth an active, progressive platform. That nieht. the Freshman hung around the Tar. Heel office for two hours in an at tempt to keep an appointment with his political friends. He doesn't yet understand, why they didn't; show. up! . . ... ' ... . This calls to mind the famous Tur ner-Moore case of several years ago.' An ambitious Freshman named Tur ner was persuaded to run for the of fice of class president. This he did. and under the able political guidance of his upper-classmen friends, his campaign proceeded somewhat as fol lows: One night at supper in Swain iiail, ne mour.tsd a chair, and in a inn AAavuAjuftj stentorian.' voice( proclaimed himself a' candidate for , the office. He then proceeded to outline his platform and io enlarge upon the progress the class would make if: under his able lead. He was loudly applawledV The very next night a Freshman named Moore mounted the stand and nominated himself. He also presented a- high 117 nroeressive platform. He said that he had been informed from re liable sources that the position paid a RHlrv of $300 a year, and that he had a better platform than Tur ner and wasn't going to let him rail road away anything so remunerative as that. The other day, a sick Freshman drifted into the aura of our sympa thy. It developed that he had want ed to get good-and-rotten drunk, and no dew being available at the time (that's the mystery to us!), he smok ed a Camel and stirred the ashes into n plass of water. This he drank. He got drunk all right! SDeaking of Freshmen which we seem to be doing even to the exclu sion of the Co-eds this issue two more went snipe-hunting last Tues day night. Wouldn't it be grand to be Freshmen all over again, so we could tramp the eerie wold in eager search of the elusive snipe! Take it from us, Freshmen, if you get chance to go snipe-hunting in Chapel Hill go! Let us not spoil your joy by anticipating! Freshmen To Play N. C. State Saturday The Freshman footballers will travel to the metropolis of Halifax County Saturday when they clash cleats amidst the fray of the grid iron in a game with the State Col lege Wolf Cubs, at Roanoke Rapids State Freshmen defeated the Tar Heel Yearlings last year for what proved to be Carolina's only Fresh men defeat of the season. This year the first year team is out for venge- ice. This year, it is believed, the tables will be turned. ' Carolina has one of the strongest freshmen teams in years, while State has not been burn ing up the woods as she did last sea son. A good game should result. New Dorms Tie Fraternity Team In probably what was one of the most exciting of the season's tag football contests, the Fraternity team and the team representing the New Dorms battled to a scoreless tie Tues day afternoon. Both teams displayed more than ordinary football ability and were about evenly matched. The Frat team had the big end of a 7 to 0 score until the last part of the game. With only ten seconds to play and the ball resting on "their own fifty yard line, the team from the Confederate dormitories' completed a long forward pass and the receiver ran for a touchdown. The extra point was added and the score stood 7 all. ...... FORECAST SATURDAY GAMES Not Guaranteed . . '-.V Carolina-V. M.' I. This will doubtless be one' of the hardest fought games in -the South. V. M. I., is the "gen eral favorite and has shown up better- than Carolina. However the experts that - predict the results have tak en the scrubs visit to' Yale, and the Varsity's off-day at' College Park 'as examples. The Cadets defeated N. 0. State in Lexington by a score 'of 22-7 s compared : to 'the 14-0 victory registered by Carolina against . State at Raleigh. This comparison of strength is probably the bsst that can be given. Look qui for a Blue and White victory of about 13-10. Wake Forest - Trinity. WakeForest should have ' no trouble :in defeating the Blue Devils.' Coach Gharrity has built up a strong' team and . should win by a coupis of touchdowns. ' N. C. State-V. P. I. A sure victory for V, P. I. State will put a-, hard fight as she usually does and the score will be in direct ratio to her resistance. Univ. Va.-Univ. Ga. Uni versity of Georgia will prob ably win. Virginia has im proved greatly and will con test every inch of ground. Davidson-Clemson. A Ti ger victory over the Wildcats. Sportogra By Hank 'Richmond is rapidly preparing for the V. M. I. game. Temporary bleachers have been erected for the occasion and the general run of Seats are going at $2.00 each. : "Ringside" seats are selling at three bones. Following the crushing defeat ad ministered the University of Virginia by the Cadets, and the drubbing hand ed the Tar Heels by Maryland, V. M. I. became an easy favorite. Last Friday 14 to 8 odds were being 'given in Richmond on the "Flying -Squadron." The Cadets are planning on taking their last cent to Richmond and puttting it up, even money only. Carolina's victory over South Car olina has opened up a good many eyes and present indications are that no odds will be given on the 10th. V. M. I. kept herself in trim over the week end by working out against Emory and Henry. 5 Gov. E. Lee Trinkle of Virginia has invited Gov. Cameron Morrison to attend the game as his guest. While uninvited by Mr. Trinkle, many of the University students are plan ning on attending the game and judging from campus talk, North Carolina's population of grand moth ers are going to be seriously deplet ed before the end of the week. "Bobby" Long, halfback on last year s JN. u. btate team nas again bobbed up in the football world. ,Ho appeared in the Wake Forest line-up against the University of Florida. According to reports sent out from Wake Forest, he was allowed to reg ister with the understanding that he could not play ball until he had been there a year. Apparently the desire to win games were too strong for the Baptists and Long was changed from his job as Freshman coach to that of Varsity backfielder. Coach Steiner has been fired as Trinity. Coach according to the Sun day papers. Rumors are also afloat that Coach Harry Hartsell will not be at State College any ' longer. Hartsell has been strikingly unsuc cessful in putting out winning teams but has universally won the respect of his rivals by : the 1 sportsmanship exhibited by his charges. Dr. G. M. Braune, Dean of the School of Engineering, left Wednes day for Washington to attend a con ference on the Education of High way Engineers. While in Washing ton, Dr. Braune will hold a consula- tion with Mr. Goldbeck, chief testing Engineer of the 19th Bureau of Pub lic Roads.
