Close Football Follower Says
That Year Furnished Finest
Hair-Raisers.
By Joe Jones
A few days ago we were in a bull
session with' a man who has follwed
Carolina's football teams for .the last
few years. Upon being asked what
game of recent years furnished the
biggest thrills he hesitated to lay his
finger on any one game, but declared
that the season of 1926 furnished the
finest bunch of thrills he had ever
seen. " -"' - . ; "
"The first hair-raiser of that sea
son," said he, "came in the '. South
Carolina game. We were doped to
lose, and a big South Carolina crowd
had come up to see the defeat. About
five or ten minutes after the kickoff
our team was backed right up to its
two yard line, and it looked like the
Popsters were right. Block stood be
hind the goalrline and punted thirty
yards into the hands' of Race Horse
Wimberly, South Carolina's" fast
safety man. But that old boy-fumbl
ed the ball,' and Tom Young was
Tight" there to catch it on the first
bounce and run the seventy-five
yards down the field for the only
touchdown of the game.
"The next big thrills came' in the
. Duke game. The Blue Devils were
all set to beat us that day. They had
let their beards grow' for a week under
the compact that they wereni going
to shave until they had beaten us
If they had kept their compact they
would all be Santa Clauses by now
The first three quarters dragged
along through the mud , and nobody
scored. Towards the end of the, last
quarter Carolina managed to get the
ball on Duke's one yard line, only to
fall back five yards on a fumble pass.
Gus McPherson, our slender .track
star, had been sent in at right half,
and the signals were for him to. go
- tnrougn leit tackle - ior that six
yards. He. got through the line all
right, then came f ace to face with
Duke's, big half back. Gus took a
beautiful swan dive right over , the
top of that boy and rammed his head
into the mud behind the goal line.
"Just before the final -whistle we
gut me nan on uuKe s twenty yard
line, and Mac Gray was , sent in to
drop-kick. The Duke center blocked
the kick, grabbed the ball, and start
ed away .with a clear fields Five
yards behind; him ran Gray, and just
two yards behind Gray ran a Duke
man. It was one magnificent race,
and the game depended on it. Mac
gained on the ball carrier, but the
Duke interference man .was getting
close enough to upset, Mac. The
stands held their breath. Desperately
Mac lept forward and tackled his
" man hard and clean. ':
. "The next Saturday little Gus Mc
Pherson starred again when he caught
Maryland's initial kick-off on his
seven yard line and behind a specta-:
cular interference ran the length of
the field for a touchdown. Boy, that
was some sight! Then in the second
quarter Steve Furches caught a punt
and made the prettiest sixtyrthrpe
yard run I ever saw.
"The thrill of he State game came
: in the last quarter, when Foard made
the first score of the game by run
ning around right end for an eighteen
yard gain and a touchdown. V
"The next Saturday we upset all
kinds of dope by defeating the strong
V. M. I. team, 28 to 0. A real spec
tacle came off soon after the game
began, when Ferrell broke through
left tackle, and with a beautiful inter
ference went sixty-two yards for
Carolina first touchdown. In the
fourth- quarter McPherson strutted
his stuff again when he raced forty-
nine yards for the last touchdown of
the game. Old Tom Young gained
140 vyards in that game, which was
more than was gained by- the entire
V. M. I. team. . .
"If there ever comes another sea
son as full of thrills as 1926 I hope
I'm on hand to see it," he ended.
Well, we've quarreled about most
everything, and now somebody comes
along and wants to take the white
pants off .freshmen. v v
If they succeed, we dare prophesy
that the Cheerios will make more of
a hit than ever before. . -..

Evideatly the week-end was quite a
delightful , one for our publications
editors. They all went to the Press
Convention at Davidson, . It must
have been' a' successful meeting we
hear they did quite a bit of, pressing.
Jn other, words, they had a press
ing engagement. : ' .
But George Borrow says that play
ing on words is-low humor, v
Oh well, we'd rather play, on the
violin anyway., .
It reminds us of sawing wood. Ex
cept that the saw doesn't squeak as
much. v . -, . ,
We can play on saws, too.
See-saws.
Ask the man who owns, one.
' Women are cruel, ain't they ? We
asked a girl to let us see her home
last night, and she remarked that
she would send us a picture of it.
That's a fact. We wouldnit marry
a girl for money. That is, unless we
couldn't get it any other way.
Women are such cowards too.
They're afraid of their own shadow.
But perhaps they have a right to
be. Some of their shadows look like
crowds following them. ' .
We hear that there is a complaint
concerning the killing of. so many
chickens on . the roads" in the vicinity
of Chapel Hill. Why doesn't some
one put in a complaint about the num
ber of them that1 wander about the
roads' only half -shot. - ' ;
We, never had much of an opinion
of a stewed chicken anyway. '
Dallas Williams injured
. While attempting hurriedly to yank
his coat from an improvised coat
rack in the hall of the Chapel Hill
School Monday morning, slender Dal
las Williams, 9-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs.' Graham Williams, toppled
the massjve rack over, pinning him
self underneath: Cries of -schoolmates
attracted the attention of the teachers
who lifted the bookcase, temporarily
utilized - for a coat rack, from the
chest of the unconscious boy.
Frantic resuscitative efforts for 15
minutes by the .teachers of the schoo
finally revived the small youth. He
was rushed to the .' University In
firmary where his condition was
diagnosed as severe lacerations of the
chest and possible internal injuries
An X-ray will be taken to deter
mine the extent of the injuries.
But the looks,, of chickens around
here are deceiving.- We haven t seen
one with wings yet. ; .
, We were reading the Tar Heel the
other day and we came across some
of the purtiest poetry by Peter Gray.
It was. sq sentimental and all. And
it' made us want to write something;
so, we sat down and 'produced the
following bit of pretty thought.
Now that you have thrown me down
And made me play the fool
only wish that when you kicked
That you had been a mule!
The rest follows inevitably.
You speak too harshly to me,
But I think your words are lies.
Don't you know that I can see
Their meaning in your eyes?
Well, I guess it's over
You've given me the air -
Me that was once your-lover. .
And do you think I care?
shall find another jane
With pretty yellow hair; ' :
Others follow in your train,
And-do you think I care?
Do you think my broken heart
Not light enough to bear?
Does it matter if we part,
And oh hell, you know I care!
The End.
Phi To Discuss Plan,
Liquor Modification
At the meeting of the Philanthrop
ic- Assembly tonight - the following
will be discussed : Resolved : , That the
eighteenth amendment should be
modified. 'The meeting will begin at
7:15, and all members are asked to
attend by the officials.
. The Tar Heels and Gamecocks
battle on the gridiron in the Kenan
Memorial Stadium at Chapel Hill next
Saturday, staging the annual "Battle
of the Carolinas" that has become one
of the outstanding games in the
South each year. South Carolina
appears to have an edge this year
but the Tar Heels are plenty' strong
It should be a great battle for the
fans.
For the first time in the thirty
three years that they have been the
most outstanding exponents of ; the
experimental theatre in America, the
paths of George Pierce Baker, di
rector of the , Yale department of
drama, and Professor Frederick H.
Koch will come together when the lat
ter takes his troupe to New . Haven
November 26 on their second annual
Northern tour. ? i '
Both men have been struggling the
major part of their lives toward a
common ideal, a laboratory theatre.
Their lives are singularly paralleled.
In both instances they realized i;heir
cherished, dreams in ' i925" whW the
state of North . Carolina presented
Prof. Koch with the first state owned
theatre in America, and Yale put the
keys of a $1,000,000 theatre into
Professor Baker's hands.
' Alumnus Gave $1,000,000
The theatre at Yale is the first
modern building for dramatic use ever
constructed on the Tudor Gothic style.
Every detail of its design and con
struction was -suggested by Baker. It
represents the ultimate : in artistry,
convenience, and science. Back of all
this plan, and as the benevolent pa
tron of his art stands the figure of
Edward Harkness of the class- of
1897, who donated the money making
the project financially possible. - In
honor of the donor the building stands
opposite the Harkness Memorial and
it of the same architecture. "
.When "the sum for the building of
the theatre was placed in the hands
of the trustees they called George
Pierce from his long struggle for ex
istence as a separate department, with
the Humanist at Harvard, to direct
the new dramaturgy at "Eli." It
was a frank" admission on their part
that the drama had come into its own
as one of the important arts to be
included in the curriculum of a mod
ern, institution of learning.
The structure itself offers the most
complete theatrical laboratory in exis
tence. It provides for every detail
from the designing and executing of
costumes, painting of scenery, experi
mentation in lighting, rehearsal
rooms where as many as three plays
may be. whipped into shape simul-.
taneouslylecture rooms, social green
rooms and' offices. . -
Blackall, Clapp and Whitteman, the
architects; are the executors of build
ing the" first complete laboratory
theatre. In the basement of their
structure they have placed a large
store room and three rehearsal rooms,
one of which has a stage where the
Professor and his assistants have
their tryouts' for the various plays
that they produce.. A large lecture
hall, three offices, and two v green
rooms are y also provided for.
Seats 750 Spectators
On the main level of the building
the industrial rooms such as the
scene room, model stage room, prop
erty closet and electrical laboratory
are at the left" of the stage. In back
of the stage is a large carpentry shop.
In front of the proscenium and in the
balcony are' 750 luxurious ; theatre
chairs. There, is 'also a- projection
booth in the balcony. x .
Above the stage and on the second
level above it in the rear are' situated
such original departments as a dye
room and a costume : snop. len
dressing rooms ' and four offices are
also placed on this floor.
There is no garish note such as is
found in any of the modern cinematic
palaces, every detail being carried
out in simpleness of form and line,
although in luxurious style.

ators who will play before the Yale
