Have Good Team.
The last chance Carolina stu
dents will have to view the Uni
versity freshman football team
in action is this afternoon, when
on Emerson field the 1930 ag
gregation rings down the cur
tain on a rather mediocre seas
on, by clashing with the first
year representatives of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
The game should attract an
interested following, mainly be
cause tJie exhibition will fur
nish an important specimen of
the style of , play used by the
Virginia Varsity. The Virginia
freshman coaches this year are
both products of the old school
that learned to manipulate its
pigskin under the careful tute-i-
lage of Coach Neale. Diffey and
Holland have long been the nem
esis of , the Tar Heels' football
hopes and now they are taking
their first shot at the coaching
game as mentors of the Cava
lier frosh.
Virginia is in the habit of as
sembling an impressive array of
high, and prep school stars, and
this year's team is no exception.
Maryland, the team which held
the Tar Babies to a 7-7 tie last
week, defeated the Cavalier
frosh earlier in the season by
the score of 12 to 6. The Vir
ginia frosh really outplayed the
winners in this game, both of
Maryland's touchdowns coming
from flukes, and the loss is not
accepted as a fair example of
the strength of the Cavaliers.
Two weeks ago, the Virginians
scored in every quarter to de
feat the freshman team from V.
P. I. 33 to 0. And this huge
margin was piled up with the
aid of a great many substitutes.
Before the Tar Babies can walk
off Emerson field winners this
afternoon they will have to stop
one of the most puzzling over
head attacks faced this year.
The Cavalier cubs have com
pleted several forward passes

Chapel Hill swains may post
ietters to their best girls after
2:30 P. M. that wijl reach their
destination twelve hours earlier
than is now possible, if plans un
der consideration by local postal
authorities and the Tar Heel
are carried out. An outgoing
mail leaving Chapel Hill between
6:00 P..M. and 9:00 P. M. may
be innovated in the near future
if sufficient demand to warrant
establishment of such a'service
is found.
At present mail for the East
ern part of the state leaves the
local postoffice at 730 A. M.
and 2:50 P. M., while mail for
the 'West and North leaves at
7 :30 A. M. and 2 :30 P. M. Post
master R. D. Herndon says of
the proposed outgoing night
mail, "The Postoffice Depart
ment is always ready to make
improvements in the service
wherever there is V sufficient
demand, but it must also be eco
nomical. It would cost at least
fiye dollars a day more to put
on the new delivery, "but we will
be glad tojdo so if it would be
of value to enough individuals
and organizations."
The University News Bureau
proposes to send ale least 75 dis
patches every night by the pro
posed mail. Other organiza
tions to which the new service
would be of especial convenience
are requested to inform the post
master or the Tar Heel office,
giving the average number of
letters that they would send out
through the new mail.
The various University of
fices, the Alumni office, Chapel
Hill, business concerns, Carolina
students, - local town)9-people,
and any others to whom the new
service would be of benefit are
asked to assist in putting the
plan in effect by expressing their
desire for it through the Open
Forum column of the Tar Heel.

The principal address of the
evening was delivered by Dr
Josiah H. Penniman, President
and Provost of the University of
Pennsylvania.
In introducing him to the As
sociation, R. D. W. Connor,
Chairman of the Faculty Com
mittee on Alumni Relations
briefly reviewed the' active part
which Dr, Penniman is taking
in organizing the alumni of
Pennsylvania and mentioned
the fact that he is the head of
the "University of Pennsylvania
Fund engaged in raising
$46,650,000 for that University,
Dr. Penniman opened his ad
dress by defining an alumnus as
a "person who has received from
an institution, through the min
istrations of a group of devoted
teachers, .instruction which has
enlarged his knowledge, broad
ened his views of life, given him
a body of definite information in
several subjects of study, and
who has later gone forth in the
world to make his place for him
self in the community of which
he may be a citizen.

a threefold obligation. The first

Every year, as football seas
on nears an end, various sports
editors are called upon to risk
their reputations by rendering
an All-State gridiron selection
The material considered in the
choosing of this team is confined
to men playing on the eleven of
a "Big Five" institution. The
so-called "Big Five" of North
Carolina is composed of N. C.
University, N. C. State, Wake
Forest, Davidson, and Duke
The little five, which has not
been considered in the follow'
ing selections, . is made up of
LenoirRhyne, High Point Col-
lege.-Elon, Guilford, and Cataw
ba.
Football teams throughout the
state were, during the season of
1926, noticeably lacking in all-
round brilliant players. Out
standing performances in a sin
gle contest do not classify a play
er as All-State' material. Con
sistency and time played are
major factors that have been
taken into consideration. '
Riley, Wake Forest, is easily
the strongest candidate for the
left flank. After due delibera
tion, Bennett, Duke, is assigned
to the other end position. Bo
hannon and Arrowood, David
son, are selected for flankmen
on the second eleven. McDaniels,
Carolina end, has shown up well
on the defense, but needs weight
and experience.
Emmerson, of Wake Forest,
and Morehead, of Carolina, are
generally conceded to be two of
the few finished players in the
state. These men are accorded
the tackle positions. Thompson,
Duke, and Warren, Carolina,
appear best able to fill these
berths on the second team.
Nicholson has played a bril
liant game for State College, and
gets the call for left guard.
Carolina's captain, Whisnant, is
a steady running mate for
Nicholson. Shuler, . Carolina,
and Boggs, Davidson, are pick
ed for -the reserve team.
Harry Schwartz, playing his
first year of varsity ball, gets
the call over McConnell for cen
ter. Schwartz has displayed
coolness and aggressiveness
throughout the season ; he is
conceded to be one of the bright
est spots on the Tar Heel elev
en. ,
Rackley has for the fourth
year demonstrated his superior
ity at quarterback. It is with
little hesitancy that we pick this
veteran Demon Deacon to cap
tain North Carolina's select elev
en. He will do the punting and
most of the passing. 1
Ober, Wake Forest, and Grey,
Davidson, are best fitted to run
at the half positions. Grey will
alternate' with Rackley in heav
ing forward passes. Ober and
Grey will do most of the ball
carrying.
Selecting a fullback proved
the most difficult problem.
Coach Tebell is enthusiastic in
his praise for Outen, and a
engthy review of all-round mer
its possessed by other fullbacks
in the state leads to the choice

Speaker Explains That Aim of Con
ference Is To Formulate Plans
for Work of Organization.
The annual conference of the
General Alumni Association of
the University opened last eve
ning with a dinner served in the
Carolina Inn, with President
Alfred M. Scales of Greensboro
presiding as toastmaster. Pres
ident Chase welcomed the alum
ni who have returned to parti
cipate in the outline of the plans
for next year, and expressed
his appreciation for the splen
did results which the Alumni
Association have accomplished.
President Scales spoke on
"Alumni Work in Modern Amer
ican Life," and his talk was par
ticularly concerned with the im
portant part which an influen
tial and public spirited alurnni
association can play in the devel
opment of our educational in
stitutions. r ' :
"The task of the General Al
umni Association is to harness
interest and loyalty, to allow it
to express itself for the good of
all alumni and of the Universi
ty. Its primary purpose is to
release for constructive puposes
the loyalty and interest which
exists, and is evidenced on every
hand." Doing this, he believes.
will automatically assure the fu
ture of the University of North
Carolina.
He explained the purpose of
this conference as an attempt to
formulate a program adequate
to our ambition and to the needs
of the hour.
The development of alumni
work has gone through three

Elaborate plans have been
