J. Parker, Jr.) Using straight football to eminent advantage, exhibiting a punch in of fensive play that was totally lacking last season, and handling the ball with a confidence and precision that bespeaks a championship eleven, Coach Fetzer's 1921 Blue and White machine got away to a flying start Saturday with a smashing 21 to 0 victory over Wake Forest on Emer son field.

After this initial score however, Carolina was thrown on the defensive for a large part of the remainder of the half, the Old Sold and Black be coming particularly threatening to ward the end of the half when the whistle caught them with the pig skin in easy striking distance of the Tar Heel goal. The brilliant work ing of the forward pass by the pair of Heckman and Boylen Heckman on the receiving end of the short passes and Boylen on the long ones was responsible for the major part of Wake Forest's gain.

Two new eating places have made their appearance in Chapel Hill since the closing of school last spring, and the old reliable one of Gooche's has made several improvements. The new ones are Sparrow's restaurant, and the University Cafeteria. The most noticable improvement in Gooche's place is the srlarinsr new electric sien above the front em- trance, which bids the pedestrian, as it flashes .to partake of the home-like cooking found there. Inside, the walls have been papered with an at- tractive design. A new steam-table has been added to the kitchen equip - ment. and several other improve- men ts of minor importance have been made.

It has grown to its present size from a little hot dog stand which Jack Sparrow open- ed up two years ago in a little army tent below the store now occupied by Foister. From there he moved into his present quarters and has been making improvements ever since. One has only to look inside to see what the progress has been. New lunch: counter, new tables, new kitchen j equipment, neatly renovated and pa- pered walls all have been added. He is to have the agency for both the Greensboro and the Raleigh morning papers, will receive foot- ball reports, keep tab on the world's series, and other sporting events of interest.' , The University Cafeteria expects to make its opening on Tuesday. This addition to the town's progress was built by the Chapel Hill Insur- ance & Realty company for the Uni-Jthe versity Hotel company. It is to be managed by Miss lone Cates of Gra ham, N. C. It is thoroughly mod ern in every particular, and the fix tures for the place alone cost be tween six and seven thousand dol lars.

PRELIMINARY REGISTRATION GIVES PROMISE OF RECORD ENROLLMENT i AS UNIVERSITY OPENS ITS DOORS SEASON AT CAROLINA Squad of More Than Sixty Including Several Former Star at Work Since September Fourth. DIFFICULTIES MASTERED If early indications can be taken as indications at all, it may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the Blue and White eleven of this year will easily vie with some of the best Carolina squads of recent years in the matter of championships acquired and stars produced. For nearly a month before the opening of the season the squad of nearly sixty candidates has been going through the paces of intensive training under the guidance of the Fetzers. This preliminary training has been done for the most part un der the most discouraging conditions. The intensive heat and failure of the water supply have rendered things very disagreeable to both coaches and players; but in spite of all this, it would seem that a maximum amount of progress has b'een made. For some time after the squad re ported on September 4th the exces- (Continued on Page Five.) : BY SIXTEEN PERSONS Five Full Profeor, Eight Anociate and Three AoUtant Prof e. .or. Acquired by Faculty. 5 The' 'faculty or w,JJ"'versity has been increased by 16 ' with thew quisitlon of five full professors; eight associate professors and three assis tant professors. James F. Royster, Thornton S. Graves, R. D. W. Con--ior, G. M. Braun and Louis Graves, are added to the teaching force with the title of professor, while Claudius T. Murchison, Frank C. Vilbrandt, Horace B. Anderson, Homer Hoyt, Harold F. Janda, Harold W. Crane, Maurice T. Van Hecke and Harold D. Myer have accepted positions as associate professors, F. R. Flournoy, Robert H. Wettach and E. L. Mackie being the three under the classifica tion of assistant professors. R. D. W. Connor graduated with the class of 1899, and since that time has done distinguished service as chairman of the board of trus tees of the University and as secre tary of the North Carolina Histori cal commission. In recent years he has been president of the General Alumni Association, he making that position vacant in order to accept a Kenan professorship of history and government at his alma mater. Pro fessor Connor has just completed a year of graduate study at Oolumbia University and, according to expres sions forthcoming today, the Univer sity is to be regarded as fortunate in securing his services in the de partment of history and government. Professor Graves will assume charge of the new department of journalism. He is a Journalist of wide reputation, having been prom inent as newspaper and magazine circles from the time of his gradu ation here with the class . of 1902. While a student in the University, Professor Graves gained enviable re nown as an athlete, he rendering noteworthy service as a quarterback on the varsity football team for sev eral consecutive years, and, also, as the crack tennis player of the insti tution. Professor Graves is given the task of building up the newly established department of journalism j to a footing equivalent in import janee to other academic departments. Thornton S. Graves and Harold W. Crane are additions to the English department; Claudius T. Murchison will teach in the department of eco nomics, and Maurice T. Van Hecke in ' the school of law. The-?e additions to the University faculty are regarded by administra tive officers as worth while ones, all of the new professors being highly qualified for the duties they are to assume, both by training and experi- Spirt of Welcome is Every where in Evidence About the Campus- MANY NEW MEN HERE Co-ed RegUtration Reflect Effect of Provi.ion.

The total registration this year will probably be between 1,500 and 1,600,",, he said tn substance. "This is the capacity of the com munity's accommodations." Long before the registrar treasurer opened their offices morning long queues of students were crowding and' jockeying for the places nearest the doors, all were crowded and impatient, but good na- tured and every once and a while an old man would slip out of line to "mitt" an -old friend newly ar rived or to slap a freshman from his home town reassuringly on the back. When the offices did open the registration proceeded without a hitch like a well oiled machine and the probabilities are that tomorrow's work will be light. All praise is due the highly organized system of the administration which is handling the crowds of students with the well- known ease of a war time employ ment bureau. . Old Men Back. The old men are back in force today and are having the time of their lives swapping lies about the (Continued on Page Six.) nr nnnr inrn nr ur i Ttur. iuun Moving Picture Magazine See En. . couraging Sign . For American Drama in Playmaker' Work. The following extract is taken from the September number of "Shadowland," and shows what wide recognition Dr. Koch and the Caro lina Playmakers have gained for themselvoo during the past year. The same work is being continued, and taken up in other State universities, and according to this article, will once more place the drama upon the rt age in small communities: "Professor Frederick Koch, of the University of North Carolina, is a man you don't hear much about on Lroadway, naturally. But he is far more important to the future of the American stage in North Carolina than is Belasco or Arthur Hopkins. He teaches the students at the Uni versity to write orginal plays about their own life, their own state, Irom the mountains to the sea, and to act these plays, too, and design the scen ery and make the costumes.. His col lege players, in a bill of one-act plays about North Carolina life, went on a tour of the state this spring. They acted in many a town where no worthy spoken drama, perhaps no gpoken drama of any sort, had been een for months or years, and they brought not cheap bedroom farce, not leg shows, but vital, interesting plays that came close home to the enthusiastic audiences which greet ed them. They did, in short, what the professional theatre today can not do. The same sort of thing is going on in Dakota, and the same sort of thing will increasingly go on in many parts of the country, as Uni versity after University takes up the study of playwriting and play pro duction, and sends out more and more enthusiastic young men and wo men who, if no good professional drama is to be had, are able to write and act it themselves. For this, of course, we should not forget to give due credit to George P. Baker, of Harvard, who was the pioneer tn the new interest in dramatic production at our colleges. Captain "Lefty" Wilson, of last year's championship baseball team, was in Chapel Hill Saturday for the Wake Forest game. He intends to resume his studies at the University this fall. S.HND PRAISES
