VOLUME XXXVII CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1928 JN UMBER 28 YOUNG TARS TO MEET VIRGINIA THKAEIERNOON Tar Babies Have Three Wins Chalked Up; Doped to Make It Four. North Carolina Club Will Hold Meeting Monday Though the varsity will not play this week-end, Carolina students will not lack amusement along s football lines, since they will have their , sec ond chance to see Coach Belding's freshman team in action. This game should prove quite interesting from more than one point of view. In the first place it will fee with the fresh men from the University ,ojf;Virginia and in a sense will be a preliminary to the big Thanksgiving classic, which the varsity teams of the- two schools will play next Thursday.: ; Another point of interest ' is the fact that the Virginians are coached by a North -Carolinian, Joe McConnell, former atar pivot man for Davidson. Pre-game dope now favors the Tar 'Babies to win. Their perfect record of three-wins over some of the strong est freshman teams in the section-is mighty imposing." Another "factor i." i. a.. i j j.t- . in Carolina's favor, is that the Virgi nia frosh were defeated by the Mary land freshmen. Last Saturday the ' Tar Babies decisively 'trounced t the " Old Liners. Provided that they do " win this game, the Carolina freshmen "have n excellent chance to finish. the season ;unbeaten, since "State College, the only other opponent; has been de feated by Duke, In the first game of the year ' Belding's men whipped Thike. Therefore on a iasis of com parative scores, the Tar Babies should easily win from State's yearlings.' - In helping prepare the varsity for its clash next Thursday, the fresh men have seen quite a bit of scrim maging this week. Wednesday and -Thursday saw them working against -the first and second string teams." "Yesterday the work tapered off somewhat in order that the squad might be in good "shape" for this af ternoon's struggle. - Only one injury Maryland. - Rip Slusser, former Au gusta star, had his leg hurt. This has kept him out of the rougher work his Week but he will probably be in shape to start at his halfback posi tion., this afternoon. While there is5 still some doubt as to who will com pose the starting lineup, it is quite probable that the same team that be gan the 'Maryland game will take the field today. However the following team is likely to start: "Morris and . Runnels, ends; Buohan and Alexander, .,tapkles; Hutchinson and Donavant, guards; Gilbreath,- centerr Branch, quarterback; Slusser and Yost, halves; and McAllister or Estes, fullback. Since there is no game among the members of the Big Five ; scheduled J for today, officials are expecting the crowd to be .quite asbit larger than usual. The game will be played at . 2:30 in Kenan Stadium. Admission will be $1.00. I The North Carolina Club will hold its regular meeting Monday night, November 26, in room 112, Saunders Building. The sub ject under discussion will be "Transportation . and Communi cation in North Carolina," and a. paper on this theme will be pre sented by Mr. Gould :'M. Ham bright. Not only will Mr. Ham bright trac the ? development of ; ' railroads, highways, automobiles, telephones, and ' radios in- the , state but he will; discuss the 'in fluence which these new modes of transportation and ; communi cation aye having on rural people --- and rural institutions. 'f v .y It is hoped that those who ' have attended recent meetings of ' the' club will be present Monday night, as well as many who have not been before. These discus sions of current conditions and problems of the state are proving to ,be of great interest to those who participate in them. The meeting will be called promptly at .7:30 and will adjourn within an hour. ..

At . a meeting of the com mittee the programs of Gina Pinnera, one of the world's greatest sopranos, and Ronny Johanson, internationally known Swedish dancer, we're approved by the committee as finishing touches of the year's entertainment program. By very excellent management the committee has bargained with the representatives of the different stars and personalities hat have and are to appear before the University audience so that for th'e three dollars each Arts and Education student pays for the entire,' bill is really buying a conservative estimate of at least $23.50 worth of entertainment. ; . The committee has had to' work blindly this year, not having any evi dence of what thestudents would pre fer to guide them in their selection of numbers to make up the year's pro gram. The inclusion, of lectures on the list of events was hesitantly made. The.members of the committee were very agreeably , surprised bver the fact -that Sherwood Anderson at his recent lecture drew an audience of about 11,00 persons. , ' During "the winter 'quarter Count Von Luckner, famed war hero and author of Tike Sea Devil, will lecture January 18 about his experiences dur ing the war.

A good historian must be zealous in. getting at the truth," declared Dr. Caldwell in an address which he de livered to the. Debate Class Thursday rnght in 201 Murphy. Dr. Caldwell attempted to make "the class under stand the""methods which a historian uses in arriving at conclusions. He explained the behavior of the historio logicaj mind in theJresence of facts The speaker emphasized, the fact that the historian cannot prophesy, for his field is always the past. He was of the opinion, also, that one must have the ability to discern the rela tive importance of items in order to be a good historian. . . . .. - - "The first obligation resting upon the historian is to get all of the facts," asserted Dr. Caldwell. He called at tention to the fact that the historian must ; be careful in selecting his material, for many documents are forgecL Therefore, he declared, a good historian always" tests the genuine ness 'of the authorship of his material and makes certain that the document is in accord with the original. The speaker cited, examples of interpola tions in ancient documents, in some cases whole paragraphs : and. even several paragraphs have been insert ed.': ; . ' "' Dr. Caldwell was of the opinion that the .most difficult problem of the historian , is that of determining the meaning of ancient .documents. v He stressed the truth that it is not al ways safe to go by translation en tirely, for changes in . the meaning of words often cause . a corresponding change in the thought of the transla tion. The student of history , should always study the circumstances under which a given article, was written, for persons have- often written things under.thfeat. ' This fact, he declared constitutes a continual menace to the historian. ... Dr. Caldwell stressed the much spoken of contention that historians should treat facts as facts in every case, being sureto guard against as suming a literary style at the expense of the literal truth.

The area studied and mapped in-this re- i- : j i xt i yui l is txyyc uju.iiiauM.y one Liiuusaiiu square miles, and, it includes some of the- most attractive mountain scenery to be found anywhere in the Eastern part of the United States. The mas sive white Medina, sandstones cap many of the higher ridges. In places this sandstone rises vertically as a great wall more than two hundred feet m height. In this region also the Paleozoic sediments are many times repeated in outcrop, due to the great amount of earth ; crustal folding Some of the larger mountains are great undisected canoe-shaped, arch- liijj xoias anxicnnes;, wmie otners are either the resistant axial portions of canoe-shaped trough folds (syn clines), or the bevelled edgesof highly tilled - resistant strata, usually sand stone. v, The valleys are made chiefly by stream action in the. softer shales and with limestones. . The rocks exposed in. Pendleton county are of sedimentary character, xviiivu viiivj. x jr in ixxv wean uuiiiig Paleozoic time, and have a thickness of more than seventeen thousand feet. These"rocks have abundant shells of sea organisms. The geologi cal report deals with the rocks and their fossils. ; The Pendleton County Geological Report is the fourthgeological report to be published by the West. Virginia geological Survey in the pat four years, in which Dr. Prouty has been a principal contributor.
