Question I understand Bushy Gra
ham beat Izzy Schwartz in a contest
that was for the bantamweight title.
Why, is it that Fidel La Barba is not
the champion since he won an off icial
decision from Graham? . ' ;
Answer The Graham-Schwartz
contest was not for the title, Sch
wartz was substituted for Kid Francis
and it was not originally planned to
eliminate one or the other for the
right to fight for the title. The Gra-
ham-La-Barba fight was over the
class weight and had no bearing on
the title.
Question Batter hits Texas Leaguer
back of the infield. The grass has
recently been mowed and the ball is
lost in the grass. The batter goes
around the- bases. That doesn't
seem to be a fair home run.
Answer But it is if, there is no
ground rule.
Question Will Babe Ruth ever . bat 1
as many home runs again in one sea
son as he has -already batted in one j
season?
Answer Too much. Can't be depenoV
ed upon to be a good mind reader.

After being hampered by injuries
most of last year, Ed Foard has play
ed some good football this year. The
Charlotte boy has quite a bit of speed
which aids him in his offensive work,
besides making him a valuable man
in the Carolina defense against
passes.

Goloshes at Duke Game
Jimmie Ward, all-state halfback
last year, has turned out to be a
real triple threat back this year. The
swarthy halfback passes . well, runs
well, and when called upon can kick.
College Graduates
Have Longer Life
i
A new slant on the value of a col
lege degree is pointed to by Royal J.
Davis, New York newspaperman,
commenting on the summary of matri
culates contained in the September,
1928, Alumni Directory of his alma
mater, Haverford college, here.
Haverford, established in 1833, has
had 1,731 graduates, 1,358, or 78 per
cent of whom are still living. Her
students who did not complete their1
four year course number 1,361, of
Which group only 709 or : 52 per cent
are'recorded living. ' s
Mr. Davis' inference from the Hav
erford figures is that the chances at
longevity of the college graduate, or
of the Haverford graduate at least,
are 50 per cent greater than the
chances of his college mate who failed
' to carry on to a degree. Christopher
Morley, for instance, , who was born
on the Haverford campus and took
a Haverford degree in 1910, is a bet
ter insurance risk than Maxfield Par-
rish, who left Haverford at the end
of three years to devote himself to
the study of art. "
Wearing galoshes and carrying um
brellas to football games is apparently
going to be the latest fad of the sea
son, according to the town girl fresh
men who recently attended a Duke
football game. Although the heat
was quite 'intense, these young wo
men tramped onto the field jubilantly
displaying the season's latest; and
when questioned by reporters they
explained that they did not feel parti
cularly uncomfortable, but that they
did feel extremely silly, which is just
what the sophomores of the town
girl's club intended they should. The
tables threatened to turn, however,
when the sun gave the sophs a scare
by hiding behind some clouds, for the
freshmen began to wonder if the um
brellas might not come in handy after
all. The girls stated that they pre
ferred their punishment to the head
gear which the "shack" freshmen
wore. And who knows but what some
day just such attire as theirs may
be the ultimate syllable in college
clothes? '

LATEST BUMRIING
ETIQUETTE SET
FORTH BY JONES
Goes Deeply Into Technique of
Honorable Bumming in
Modern Times.
(By Joe Jones- -"Bumming"
is a brad subject,
for its modes, types, and -methods are
many' and diverse legion.
There have been great bummers,
and there are great bummers today,
artists ; those who have made great
or noteworthy journeys on "free
rides." Our Lord came into Jerusa
lem -upon a borrowed donkey, and
was" "greeted with hosannahs. Parts
of that Homeric jaunt of Ulysses
were events of hoboism on a grand
style. Today we have Richard Halli
burton, who has bummed parts of his
way across two, continents and writ
ten a couple of best sellers about it.
The earth is filled with wastrels, who
bum a cigarette or a lift to Durham,
but these men bummed real rides.
Having seen that the custom has
a history and a high one, let us pro
ceed directly to the technique of hon
orable bumming as practiced by-the
students of the University.
First of all, a college "bum" should
never bear the appearance of a bum.
He should be well dressed, well bar
bered, and be clean looking. No one
likes to pick up an untidy fellow.
Although a freshman cap is an ad
vantage it is probably . better to go
bareheaded. This imparts an air of
openness. We always think of a
road sneak's having a hat " pulled
down over his eyes.
A small satchel labeled with Car
olina stickers may .hea'rten a driver
to consider stopping, but if one ex
pects to keep walking when luck is
bad it becomes quite a burden. It is
often advisable to mail the valise,
and walk unencumbered. -
It is well to carry a, yellow, slicker,
and wear It if the weather is at all
cloudy; especially if it has Carolina
or U. N. C. painted across the iback.
There are some real authorities on
the subject who advise standing on
the edge of town or at a main corn
ner, and no doubt this is an effective
method, but there are some advan
tages in bumming "onthe wing."
Drivers naturally have more compas
sion on a man walking, as if he real
ly wanted to get somewhere, than
on one leaning against a lamp post.
Here is an important view; Always
signal the car while it is approach
ing and is still a fair distance away;
even fifty yards is not too far. This
gives the driver time to size you up
and to make his decision about stop
ping. The chances are that a man
given a sudden, closeup signal will
not pause. While flagging your man
keep walking forward turn your face
toward him, and express yourself
with an upraised arm, thumb vpoint
ing in the direction "you are going.
As the car draws near look the driver
in the eye with a friendly,, slightly
pleading expression.
If he 1 passes you up, as most of
them will, do not appear crestfallen,
but walk on buoyantly. Walking
will not hurt you, and there are plen
ty more cars on your trail. tr r.
It is a good policy to signal every
approaching car, even before one is
able to ascertain whether it is full
or no; then, as it comes nearer, if it
is evident that there is no extra room
cease signaling and .walk on; thus
acknowledging your mistake.
AH empty trucks are fair game,
except in extremely cold weather.
As you enter a car always, thank
the driver for his kindness in stop
ping. Haviifg attained your seat, be
STATE ADVISED

Recommends Dropping of EIca
from Schedule and Opening
With Big Five Opponent,
By Bob Warren
Changes are certain to be made in.
State's schedule . in the near future.
It is a fact that ten games is too
many for a team to play in one sea
son. :
Elon should be dropped from tba
schedule and some Big Five team,
such as Davidson, should be played as
tha opening game. A team of that
type would result in good gate re
ceipts and the State coaches wouU
be, able to test the strength of their
team. '
The second game should contmoa
to be a Virginia rival, such as Wash
inton and Lee. ,
The remainder of the schedule
should contain four other conference
games, Duke and Wake Forest.
Michigan State should be dropped,
and a well known team "could be
played where the gate receipts woultj
be enormous, v
, Hard games in North Carolina
should be played two weeks apart
in order that State supporters could
have an opportunity to see other
teams play, and then the team would
have an opportunity to rest between
its long road trips.
The first two games should be
played at night, to avoid hot weather;
Lights would .have to be erected for
evening practice, and a small addi
tional expense would take care of this
situation.
The season should open about Cc
tober 10 and close the first week in
December, completing a nine-game
schedule. The expense of early sea
son training could be avoided and
many men who did not receive an in
vitation for early practice would be
out for the team.
State College plays too many mid
week games, and the reason for it is
because Carolina and Duke refuse to
shift their games because Saturday is
a holiday and they can draw larger
crowds. Why can t we take advant
age of this fact and let our friends
at Chapel Hill and Durham shift a
game now and then?
pleasant and agreeable, and he will
invariably carry you as far as he is
going on your route. When he. puts
you down thank him profusely for the
ride.
Never offer to pay for gas On a
short lift bus fare is cheaper. :

For one of her studies to have the
attention of Sir Thomas Muir, of Cape
Town, Africa, distinguished mathe
matician, is the recent experience of
Dr. Helen Barton, of the department
of mathematics at North .Carolina
college.
Some time ago Dr. Barton's "study,
under the" title "Determinants," was
published in "The Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences." The
work came to the attention of Sir
Thomas Muir, a fellow of 'the Royal
Society of England and the recipient
of manv honors and prizes m connec
tion, with his researches. An author
itv on the subject of determinants,
he not long ago wrote to Dr. Barton
askine for a copy of her paper. '
Dr. Barton has degrees from
Goucher College, Cornell University
and the University of Iowa. ;, She re
ceived the degree of doctor of philos
ophy from ths University of Iowa in
1921. ; , , , ;V, :

Coach Collins' backf ield. His inter
ference running has made him a val
uable man to the Carolina coaches,
but his interference running is not
his only asset, as he is one of the
most adept men on the team in re
ceiving passes. .
WINSTON TO SPEAK s
Next Sunday evening Judge Robert
W. Winston will speak concerning the
existence of religious bigotry in our
land. Are American" people, and par
ticularly North Carolinians, growing
more charitable toward those of dif

a unity of spirit suffered anysenous
or permanent back-set in recent
months? This message by Judge Win

2 is considered the height of bad form, they
say, to carry your own sandwiches to a tea or
to pack your own blanket for the week-end-but
luckily, no such outlandish conventions
surround the smoking of your own cigarette.
"I'd rather have a Chesterfield," fortunately,
is a phrase which not only remains "good
cricket" in polite circles but at the , same
time brands the' smoker as a person of rare
discernment and excellent discrimination.
" And small wonder, considering all the re
mark implies. Good taste, top quality, the rare
sparkle of tobacco goodness all these combine ,
to justify the choice of that maiv who thus
shows his keen judgment. -
