C, November 1, 1921 No. 9 FIRST PRESENTATIONS OF THE PLAYMAKERS Production Lat Friday and Satur day Evenings Well Received By Fair Sized Audience. THE CASTS WELL SELECTED SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED. The plays were good. Whatever the comment or criti cism, past or present, on the gen eral subject of the Carolina Play makers, there is no getting around the fact that their latest productions, presented last Friday and Saturday evenings at the local play house, scored heavily in their favor. The plays selected for presentation were of a type with an especial ap peal to the more intellectual audi ence of the college community. The sparkling wit and originality of George Bernard Shaw, and the light comedy of the Provincetown play wrights must certainly be considered a rare treat anywhere we find them combined in one program. The ac tual presentation, too, appeared to U9 as somewhat better than anything done lately hereabout. "How He Lied to Her Husband" occupied the premiere position on the program. Some persons have attack-1 ed this one act comedy of Shaw's' ( terming it "trivial" but to save us we can't agree. The plot is striking-1 ly original, and the repartee is un-j usually brilliant and in these daysj of drab sameness we are not inclined: to credit any such as being merely Former Carolina Student Doe. Not trivial. The cast was exceptionally well picked. Lloyd Williams in the role of the impassioned poet possibly overdid his part slightly. He main tained much too much the same voice pitch equally when delivering Through the generosity of Mr. Lawrence S. Holt, Jr., the University has come into pos session of a sum of money, the principal of which is to be used for a loan fund and the inter est derived from these loans applied to maintain four schol arships, each of a value of one hundred and twenty-five dollars. One of these scholarships will be granted to a member of each of the academic classes, and they are good for one year only. They are open to both men and women. According to the wishes of the donor, the scholarships are controlled by a committee con sisting of the president of the University, Mr. Woollep, and Professor Noble. Applications for these Holt scholarships should be made in writing to the president of the University, not later than November 15th. Payment of the award will be made in three installments. It is Mr. Holt's wish that no applicant for these scholarships should be considered by the committee who is able to remain in college without such help. Full evidence of this fact must, therefore, be laid before the committee by the applicants.

Davidson Scrubs ran up a score of 28-0 on the first year reserve team on Emerson field here Saturday, dis playing an offensive power in sweep ing end runs and forward passes that were too much for Coach Morrison's first year men. The freshmen de fense showed lack of training, and although at times displayed flashes of driving power were far from con sistent in their gaining and twice were halted and reverse i inside Davidson's five yard line. The game was featureless with the exception of the consistent offensive power of the Wild Kittens, which was made brilliant by one long broken field run by Raker, netting fifty yards for Davidson in the second quarter. In the second half the freshmen showed their greatest strength, driving up the field by line plunges and fairly successful end runs, but were soon stopped, and thereafter never threatened. George was freshmen's most con sistent ground gainer, the big boy plunging through Davidson's line with regularity. Vanstory, substituting at tackle for Estes in the second quar ter, was the mainstay in tha fresh man line. Time and again the form er Woodberry Forest star broke up play after play, and displayed skill in , opening holes for the freshman backs. First Quarter.

BT cast; but the part was none the worse for it, and was done about as well as can imagine anyway. George Denny did the part of the husband, and did it mighty near to perfection too there might have been a lapse or an occasional dull moment in the paly before he made his appearance, but certainly never afterward. If it had been a dull play it would have been turned into a creditable piece by Deputy's imper sonation of the bizarre Englishman. But well done as it was, his final touch made the play what we con sider as one of the best acted since the Playmakers' advent into Univer sity circles. The second play, "Suppressed De sires," by George Cram Cook and Susan Glaspell, of the Provincetown Players, purports to be a Freudian comedy. Although it was as a whole rather well done, we must confess that we were not so much impressed with it as its predecessor. The play was in two acts and written about the new and apparently unknown science of physco-analysis. The atmosphere of the real Greenwich Village was well brought out, instead of the sor did and impossible atmosphere that the Sunday supplements would have one believe permeates the real village however we will not attempt to pass judgment on properties. Hubert Heffner, as Stephen Brew ster, an architect, struggling between his wife and the dread science, fea tured in this production. Although the Playhouse does not yet boast of an honest to goodness electric dis play sign, nor even of the conven tional actors' dressing rooms, there lies no doubt in our mind that if the name of the star had been put in the "lights" and his door adorned with tinsel ornament, that these honors would have fallen to Heffner, TO P Many Improvements In Chapel Hill. Latest Will Be the Susan Moses Graham Memorial Fountain. That the town of Chapel Hill is rapidly emerging from a "Sleepy Hoi-' low" village to an enterprising metro polis is evident from the many im-' provements that have taken place the past few months. The handsome new' fire truck, the clock pealing out the quarter hour, the glaring electric ( light sign of Gooch's, and the cafe teria have lent a more citified ap-! pearance to the town and now comes j a new feature in the "Susan Moses, Graham Memorial Fountain," which; will take the place of the old town pump near the Methodist church. Work on the foundation of the fountain was started from the plans prepared by the T. C. Atwood Or ganization, October 28, and an early completion is expected. The land scape work is in charge of Dr. W. C. Coker, which assures- an artistic set ting to this beautiful memorial. The foundation is to be supplied on the sidewalk wiih three bubblers, and on the opposite side with a trough for Ni Get Together Meeting Featured By Interesting Talks Made By Several Faculty Members. The students of the chemical en gineering department gathered Thursday night at Chemistry hall for the annual chemical smoker and heard talks by several faculty mem bers and students of the department as well as enjoying a social get-together meeting. In addition to all other purposes the affair served as a reception to the freshmen of the chemistry depart ment. Dr. J. M. Bell officiated as toastmaster and Dr. Venable made a fitting talk, speaking much appreci ated words of advice and encourage ment to the first year men." Dr. Vilbrandt, the new professor of industrial chemistry, spoke on "Chemical Industries and the Che mist's Place in These Industries." Dr. Wheeler made a report on his trip this summer to Montreal, Can ada, where he attended the meeting of the English and Canadian chemi cal societies. Following this Mr. S. C. Smith read some freshman "dis coveries," being humorously absurd extracts from freshman quiz books. Mr. I. V. Giles extended a cor dial welcome to the new men of the department and Mr. J. A.

By defeating Tench Cox, Jernigan, Captain of last year's tennis team, upset all of the tennis dope. Jerni gan was in turn defeated by Barden of last year's team, and this also was unexpected. Twenty were out for the team, a larger number than that of last year. The first matches were of little consequence, two men defaulting, and the varsity men of last year playing weaker opponents. With the excep tion of the Brett Smith-Tench Cox match all of the varsity men won out. Smith was eliminated 6-0 and 6-2. Before the terrific serving and lofting of Cox, at no time did he have a chance to win a set. - Bruton, a promising player and former Trinity varsity man was eliminated by Johnson, 6-2, 10-8. Johnson is one of the best men on the courts, Cox probably being the only one his superior. Johnson play ed Barden in the final match on Mon day. Barden, who defeated Jernigan, played good tennis, and is probably the best man on the court on using the back and loft. He won his match with Jernigan by this stroke, and by an unusual accuracy in placing. Jernigan was considered off-form. The tennis team for the fall quar ter will probably be comprised of Jernigan, Johnson, Cox and Barden. The results of the matches were as follows : First Round Long-Moody, Moody by default. McCullom-Holderness, 3-6, 4-6. Brooks-Fox, 1-6, 5-7. Williams-Barden, Barden by de fault. Bell-Wade, 6-3, 7-5. White-Soloman, 0-6, 2-6. v-t Second Round Moody-Holderness, 6-4, 3-6, 6-8.

Maryland's defeat at the hands of the Carolina Varsity was of course the most pleasing score of the week. Among the optomistic dope sters Carolina was expected to make . a good showing against Maryland, but after the show ing made against . V. P. I. by Maryland, a much closer game was, expected. Carolina won by displaying a better brand of football than did Maryland, profiting to a great extent by the lesosns taught by the State and South Carolina games. Centre's win over Harvard was a pleasing, if unexpected surprise. Even though the score was only 6 to 0, it was the first time Harvard has been whip ped in five years, and one of the few times her goal line has been crossed. Georgia Tech furnished the disappointment of the week-end in loosing 28 to 7 to Penn State. Many thought the Golden Tornado would win. (Continued on Page Four.)

ARMISTICE DAY WILL BE OBSERVED BY STUDENTS An announcement of interest to the student body comes from the alumni building that the University, in co-operation with the members of the local post of the American Le gion, will observe Armistice day, November 11th. Appropriate exercises will be held in Memorial hall on the morning of that day, at which ex-Governor Bickett will probably deliver an ad dress, and a parade of students, school children and ex-service i men will be held through. the streets of the village and on the University campus. All classes will be suspend ed from the ringing of the chapel bell until dinner. SOPHOMORE CLASS TEAM COMMENCES PRACTICE DISCUSSED BY THE PRI W. B. Umstead Speaks to Members of the Phi Assembly After Stormy Session on Chapel Question. The football men of the Sopho more class organized last week for, their first practice of the year and with two upper class teams in prac-, tice class football is rapidly ascend , ing to place of importance in cam-' pus athletic circles. , A number of last year's men are out for the team and a signal drill! is being held. The Sophomores givej promise of having one of the best class teams on the campus and will I begin to play the schedule some time next week. Mr. Weaver, Head of Music Depart ment, Teaches Carolina. Songs in Chapel Thursday. Mr. Weaver, head of the musical department, had charge of the exer cises in Memorial Hall Thursday morning, and he used this time in. teaching the Carolina songs to the student body. These songs Mr. Weaver declared to be the very best in the country in so far as he knew, and that they were particularly ap propriate for the University as they were composed and written with that in view. These songs, he said, would be used at the Carolina-Virginia game here Thanksgiving and if once mastered by the student body they will create quite a favorable im pression. Scrubby Rives, Carolina cheer leader, stated briefly that prior to this we had not used songs as much as we should have; but that here after we would use more songs. Yale, he said, used songs entirely for her 'cheering; and that the songs were splendidly put across by the students. The third regular meeting of the Philanthropic Assembly for the pres ent term, held Saturday night was interestingly participated in by the members. At the outset a motion was passed setting apart the meeting of next Saturday night as one to be con ducted solely by the new men in re gard to discussion. The only bill that came up for discussion embraced the question of compulsory chapel attendance for all students, profes sional students and seniors not hav ing been excepted by the introducers, in the future. The discussion on the bill seemed practically all in the opposition, until the latter minutes of discussion when supporters began to spring to their feet and clamor for introduction. This bill was discussed for an hour, and the assembly not being ready to take action on it, was continued until the next meet ing. W. B. Umstead of the class of 1916, one of the most loyal of the Phi's alumni, was present during the meeting. At the request of Speaker Moore, he talked to the members un til time to adjourn for the bonfire celebration. Mr. Umstead's talk was forceful and to the point. He praised the value of the society as an in stitution of training, and urged the members to participate in the discus sions, and thus to derive the benefits that are theirs, if sought. Kerr, Spain and Hampton were appointed as a committee to extend the invitation of membership to cer tain members that have recently been added to the faculty. Phipps and Hampton introduced a motion to amend the constitution so that the duties of the assistant treas urer would embrace the hearing of all excuses as to absences which were not necessarily under the jurisdiction of the appellate committee. This amendment was passed. (By R. S. Pickens) With Lowe kicking three field goals and Johnson breaking through tackle almost at will, the Carolina Varsity chalked up a brilliant victory against the University of Maryland on the Oriole Field, Baltimore, winning, 16 to 7. Maryland was clearly and cleanly outplayed by Carolina, and Captain Lowe fought the devil with fire when he dropped three field goals through the uprights. Brewer, the Maryland ace, is reputed to be the most dan gerous kicker in Southern football. Maryland's lone touchdown came m a result of a fumble in the last quar ter. Excellent Aeriol Attack. The game was a demonstration of the possibilities of tho forward pass. Time after time I.oo hurled tho ball for long gains, J imi'.oh, Cochra'i :and Morris doing most of the receisr j ing. Gillon furnished the longest run of the game when he ran tho ball up the right sice of the field for forty yards on the kic,k-off. Four times the Blue and Wh'.fe machine marched up within striking distance of the Maryland goal and three times Lowe kk'l.ed a field goal. The fourth time Johnson broke through tackle and nast the dary defense for a touchdown. Gillon Runs 40 Yards. Maryland kickeJ to Carolina and Gillon carried the tall back 40 yardi through a broken fie'd. Carolin-i pulled a sneak forward pass that the i Maryland line - .brake -up. Carolim then started passing. Lowe snapped the ball to R. Morn ovtr the lin? ami ho ran 30 yr.nl before beintf Icivned. Johnson vent through the hneior five yard k and Lowe agai-. ,-assed to F.

An interchange o.- punts took place and Brewer intercepted a forward pass only to drop the ball when tackled. Carolina then started the slow but steady march down the field. Johnson went through the line and off tackle for consistent gains and three forward passes from mys terious formations placed the ball on Maryland's eight yard line. Unable to drive through the re viving Maryland line for a touch, down, Lowe dropped back to the fif teen yard line and placed the ball between the goal posts for the first score of the game. The quarter end ed with the ball in the middle of the field. Score 3 to 0. Johnson Scores Touchdown. Shortly after the second quarter started Brewer signalled for a fair catch on a punt and fumbled, F. Morris recovering on the 30 yard line. Three line plunges by Gillon and Johnson netted first down. Lowe shot a pass over the line to Johnson, who twisted through the ride side of the Maryland team for a touchdown. Lowe kicked goal. A kicking duel followed with Lowe holding his own against Brewer. To ward the close of the quarter Lowe decided to take the offense and with the Fetzer pass formations working to perfection the ball was placed in front of the Maryland goal and Lowe sent his second forward pass over from the 17 yard line. Quarter end ed with the score 13 to 0. Lowe Kicks Another Coal. The second half opened with Caro lina working the ball down the field with a sureness that was fatal to the hopes of Maryland. On the 18 yard line the Maryland line held again and Lowe added another three points with a field goal. The third quarter ended with Carolina nd Mo-ij ; see-sawing back and forth up the field Jwith Carolina holding the whip hand. In the third Quarter tho Mo-,,! a team fought with their backs to the ' wall litiT- ii. ...... u cle unaDie to gain consis tently. Brewer was forced to punt and the kick was fumbled, Maryland recovering in Carolina territory. The ball was placed on the Carolina four yard line and Plassnig carried it over (Continued on Page 3)
