There are not many times through the year when we can all meet together for affairs of general University signifi cance. This is such a time.

It cer tainly is fitting that we. should meet together once a year in memory of that history and that tradition. For that reason, I trust that every student on the campus will attend. H. W. Chase !

Disappearance of Stray Cats from Local Yards Awakens Suspicions . o KitMion Knavps in Several Boardinsr Houses Have Ugly Scratches oh. Arms and Faces; Rabbit Meat Recently Acquires Toughness and Rank Flavor. 0 By Henrietta H or se It is duly written upon the statute books of the borough of Chapel Hill that all dressed rabits for sale in said borough must have the head and the hind feet intact and in their natural connection with the remainder of the carcass. V This may seem, at first glance, like a very curious and bothersome law to be saddled upon the rabbit venders of the community; but it is a just law, and has its roots of beginning in-the shortcamings of these same rabbit men. The story of its origin is strange enough, and stranger still in the vernacular of him who told it to us, the Sable chef of a Chapel Hill resturant. We shall not attempt to tell the tale in hi3 mode of speech, quaint though it may be, but shall give ou a faith ful translation of it in the words of a cub-reporter. ' Some years ago there began to ap pear upon the tables of the local eat ing, houses rabbit meat of so great toughness and of such exceeding rank 1 flavor that nothing like it had ever been seen before; The very gravy it self had an unmistakable gelatinous WJii Q.

Housewives talk ed to each other across back-yard fences, and decided that a new breed of rabbits had, from unknown parts, been introduced into the woods; stu dents passed remarks across the sup-Der-table. and decided that rabbit , " " wasn't what it was cracked up to be; the members of the corner spit-and- whittle club whittled and spat more eloquently than ever, and decided that the cotton-tails "had caught the spirit of the jazz age and were beginning to cross up with skunks. And the hun ters merely snickered up their sleeves, and continued to sell neatly skinned and dressed rabbits. Things went from bad to worse. Finally, one lovely November day, two enterprising young sophomores, who were presumably looking for li quor, found the heads and feet of some a forty-odd cats in - the basement of a hunter's shack. When news "of this find reached town there was a rush to the drug stores for Mother sill's Seasick Tablets, and the rabbit market went down like a paralyzed cow. ); -, ' , (Continued on page four) The American Library Association's annual selection of the 40 most riot able books "published in the United States for 1927, which has been an nounced, includes books by a present and a former member of the Univer sity of North Carolina faculty.

' -.sr-'.: ,V-.-; vited- - . . ,V.vJ V,- ? , Continuing their excellent work of the Wake Forest game, the Tar Heels defeated the University of Maryland 26-19 Saturday at College Park. This victory dispelled all doubt about the first win being a flash in the pan and "showed that Carolina had a .strong finished team that was weak in no department. The varied attack used Saturday demonstrated clearly that the Notre Dame system once per fected can be used to great advantage. The chief reason for the Tar,Heel victory was their ability to hit the line for that extra yard needed for a first down. Time "and "again the backs were called upon to take the ball through the forward wall and almost every time they responded with the necessary gain. - Most of these plays were, run over the back of Captain Harry Schwartz who played a won derful game and could usually be counted upon to open a hole. Two of the Heel touchdowns were pushed over him. Early in the game the Carolina team opened with a strong attack and within five minutes Jimmy Ward made six yards and a touch-down on a cutback play around his right end. The extra point was given to Carolina when Maryland linesmen were off sides on the attempted kick. A series of passes by Kessler into the waiting arms of Roberts put" the ball in scor ing position. Then Dodson received a twenty-five yard heave from Kessler and ran fifteen yards for a touch down. A minute later McDonald, Maryland right tackle, tied the score with a "kick which was goodV Scoring was at a standstill for the remainder of the first quarter and most of the second. However, hear the end of the half the Tar Heels broke through the Maryland def ense to score their se cond touchdown ". and break the tie which had existed since Dodson's score for the Old Liners. The passing attack for which the Tar Heels have become noted was brought into play when Albert Whisnant passed twenty yards to Jimmy Ward. After re ceiving the oval Jimmy continued for ten yards before he was downed on the three yard line. On the next play Eddie Foard plunged over the back of Captain Schwartz for the needed three yards. Whisnant failed in his. try for the extra point and at the quarter the score stood Carolina 13, Maryland 7. Early in the second period the Tar Heels attempted to pass and the refree ruled that Mary land should receive a twenty-five yard penalty for interference. This again put Carolina in a position to tally. Magner, who had substituted for Jimmy Ward threw a pass to Strud Nash which was good for twenty-six yards and put the ball on the Old Liner's nine yard line. On the next play Maryland was penalized five yards for being off side. From the four yard mark Magner plunged again through, the center of the line for Carolina's third touchdown. For the second time on the try for extra point the Maryland linesmen were off side and the point was given to Carolina (Continued on page four Playmaker Tryouts For Northern Tour Were Held Yesterday Selection of Cast Has Not Yet Been Announced; Paul Green's Com -V .V ; edies ; Featured.
