Saturday, December h, 1926 THE TAR HEEL Page Three PLAYMAKERS ARE BACK FROM TRIP Large Crowds Attend Perform ances on Trip Through East ern North Carolina. y The Carolina Playmakers have returned from their tour of the eastern part of the state where they have presented Oliver Goldsmith's classic old comedy, She Stoops to Conquer to capaci ty audiences in every town and at the matinee in Durham it was necessary to turn people away The tour was one of the most successful of any of the tours in recent years, the towns were near enough together so that no long jumps were necessary. The troupe was not late for a single performance and financially the tour was a huge success. The1 Playmakers have the dis tinction of drawing the largest crowd ever assembled in the Elizabeth City high school au ditorium, it being necessary for additional rows of seats to be added to accomodate the crowd. Murfreesboro was awarded the $50 prize for having the - largest audience in proportion to the number of inhabitants of the place. ' People came from a distance of sixty miles to see the performance. Edenton was a clcose second with the size of the audience. . The Playmakers were, enter tained in every town and due to the fact that every member on the tour gained weight it is nat ural to assume that they, were very well fed. The organiza- ions and people providing spec ial entertainment in the towns were: Miss Helen Leatherwood entertained at a dance 'at the Prinee Charles in Fayetteville; Mrs. George Butler entertained the Playmakers after the per formance at her home in Clin ton; R. J. Madry entertained th$ Playmakers after the perform ance at his home in Scotland Neck; and the Kiwanis Club of Scotland gave them a turkey dinner; in Murfreesboro the . party had lunch at Chowan col lege; in Edenton a Rotarian lun cheon was given in honor of the Playmakers and they were also taken on a sight tour of the historical places in and near Edenton; in Elizabeth City' a Rotarian luncheon was given for the Playmakers; and in New Bern a dance was given in their honor at the Elks club. The towns played on tour were Durham, Fayetteville, Clin ton, Nashville, Scotland Neck, Murfreesboro, Edenton, Eliza- beth City, Washington, New Bern, and Hillsboro. - Why?

INDOOR RANGE IS THE RIFLE CLUB'S NEW ACQUISITION Bad Weather Does Not Impede Practice Since Completion of New Unit. -.'1 UNDER MEMORIAL HALL Matches Are Already Being Ar ranged Government Fire- . arms and Ammunition. The Carolina Rifle Club an nounces the deepening of its in door gallery range. This gallery range is situated under Memorial Hall and may be used at any time. It has an advantage over the outdoor range in that it may be used during bad weather or at night. The U. S. Government has al ready.; promised an issue of gal lery rifles which will be received before Christmas. The regular rules of the National Rifle Asso ciation will apply to all practices in the indoor range. Both the regular Carolina rifle team and the gallery team will get their winter training on this indoor range in preparation for the National Intercollegiate matches next spring. During the winter several matches will be held with N.-C. State - and other schools. Opening of this new range and the generosity of" the govern ment in furnishing supplies make possible the admission of a num ber of new members into the Rifle Club. All interested in joining should see Burnham Col burn, Alpha Chi House, or Hay wood Parker, Sigma Delta House, at once; the initiation fee will probably be raised after Christmas. Co-eds also are urged to join, as the officers have found it pos sible to arrange for many Girls' Intercollegiate Matches during the coming year. ' " Plans are under way now for the organization of two pistol teams, high-power revolvers and gallery pistols. V Electrical Engineers Hear Professor Lear Speaks on "Illumination" at Regular Meeting. Thursday Night. ' The Carolina' chapter of the American Institute of Electri cal Engineers held its last meet ing of the fall quarter, Thurs day, in Phillips Hall. Professor J. E. Lear, of the School1 of En gineering, talked to the society on "Illumination," and Mr. ;T. B. Smiley devoted a few words comparing the eye with the ear. Professor Lear, in his talk, dealt chiefly with the effects of light rays, and of various color rays, on the human eye. He ex plained how colors are transmit ted through the eye to the brain, and took up the question of how the illumination engineer, through certain types of illum ination, produces the desired color effects upon the eye. Mr. T. B. Smiley gave a short talk discussing the question of illum ination also, comparing the ef ficiancy of the human eye in tak ing in the light rays with the ear in receiving sound waves. The meetings of the local chapter are held every other Thursday night in Phillips Hall. President H. L. Coe announces that several good programs are in store for the meetings next quarter, the society haying been promised several electrical films by the Westinghouse Electric Company.

Hickerson Profes sor of Civil Engineering in the University of North Carolina, has recently been published by McGraw-Hill Book - Co., Inc., New York.

The authbr defines "degree of curve" as the angle at the cen ter subtended by an arc of 100 feet. On this definition he bas es his curve formulas, which are adequately, explained by exam ples and supported by original tables for both circular and spir al curves having external deflec tion angles extending to 140 de grees.

Charlotte and Sanford Meet Here Today for State Title (Continued from page one) a powerful contrast to the meas ly six which their opponents have been able to secure all year. Sanford and Charlotte will re new an old feud in the form of the final game. In 1923," San ford won her first eastern title, and journeyed to 'Chapel Hill only to be downed by one of the greatest teams ' Charlotte has ever turned but in its history of state championship elevens. The lads from the Queen city have thrice worn the crown symbolic of the North Carolina football kings, and also have won several western titles. For pure hard luck, those Lee county boys can't be beat.

Saturday, December 4 Colleen Moore in "IT MUST BE LOVE" Comedy "Goose Flesh" Monday, December 6 Monte Blue and Marie Prevost in ; "KISS ME AGAIN", Comedies times in four years, starting in 1923, have they been rewarded by winning the eastern cham pionship, but twice they were forced to return without the su preme laurels. The question now is whether the old seasoned state , championship winners from the west can again repel the easterners who have been consistently knocking at the door of the state championship, but have not as yet crossed the threshhold. Individual Stars One rather interesting phase of this afternoon's contest will be the performances staged by two rival football toters. ( Cap tain Harry Frazier of Sanford is generously recognized as the best ball carrier in the east, while Charlotte has a lad nam ed Cook, who is acclaimed the best backfield player in the west. When King meets King! Coaches . Sanford is coached by Parks who has held her coaching reins for a number of years. prac tically every player on his team learned football under "Colonel' Parks as he is affectionately called by his players. Charlotte has "Big Jacck" Caldwell, for mer Duke fullback, and Gullick son, of the Springfield Y. M. C. A. college, to guide her destiny. Huge Crowd The largest crowd ever to wit ness a high school game in the state will more than likely swarm into the stands of Em erson field today. Charlotte is sending down a special train, and numerous others are coming by auto. Sanford has always had an impressive delegation that' follows their team, and to day's turnout will be an excep tion only in that more than us ual will be here. A Mr. Mason of Charlotte has arranged to send down a thirty piece band, the property of Greensboro high school, and this band, coupled with Professor T. Smith McCorkle's University bands, is going to present e nough worth while music to lend a tinge of interesting color to the game. , The . officials who will handle the game are as follows : J. P. Major of Woffard College, ref eree; Captain J. R. Boatwright of Woffard, umpire; James N. Ashemore of Carolina, head linesman. THE BIG SURPRISE in JACK LIPMAN'S AD FOR TUESDAY Z7 1 verimings going fo he all right THATS the way P. A. talks to you in the bowl of a pipe. This great national gloom-chaser stabs the darkest clouds with a ray of sunshine. Buy a tidy red tin. of Prince Albert today and see. Tamp a load of this friendly tobacco into your jimmy-pipe and light up. Cool as a sub-cellar. Sweet as the breath of fresh-cut violets. Fragrant in the tin and fra grant as you smoke it. Never a tongue-bite or a throat-parch. So mild you can hit it up from sun-up to sun-down, yet with a body that satisfies completely. There's more philosophy in a pipe-load of Pw A. than in the average Doctor's thesis. No matter what brand you are smoking now, you don't know how much your jimmy-pipe can mean to you until you pack it with good old Prince Albert. Get started now. , t, P. A. Ii told everywhere lit titty red tinti pound and ftatf pound tin humidon, and pound' eryttaUelat humidort with iflonge-moistener top. And alway, with every bit ct bite tind parch removed by the Prince Albert proceii. ' PRINCE Albert no other tobacco is like it! 1926, R. T.'Rcynoids Tobacco Company, WinUu. icm, N. C
