Shakespeare Playhouse Company Pre.
"lent Three Performance! On
J Whole Good.
PLAYMAKERS LOSE MONEY
The Shakespeare Playhouse Com
pany of New York presented three
plays at the Playhouse on Friday
evening and Saturday. "Candida,"
by George Bernard Shaw, was the
offering Friday evening, and Ibsen's
"A Doll's House," Saturday after
noon. The Saturday evening bill of
three Irish plays had been changed
and Eugene O'Neal's "Beyond the
Horizon," was presented in their
stead.
An unusually small crowd attended
the production and the Carolina Play
makers, under whose auspices the
New York company appeared here,
lost heavily because of the commu
nity's failure to respond to the op
portunity to hear Mr. McEntee and
his players. At neither of the per
formances was the house more than
half filled.
As a whole the performances seem
ed to be thoroughly enjoyed by the
audiences but a failure on the part
of one or two actors in the two Sat
urday presentations to know their
lines detracted greatly from the
forcefulness of two unusually strong
plays. It was a sad fault on the part
of a group of otherwise excellent
artists.
"Candida," Shaw's comedy, was
perhaps the most enjoyed of the three
plays, not because of its superority
as a dramatic interpretation of life,
but because the acting was better
throughout the length of the per
formance. Miss Adda Gleason, in the
role of the beautiful Candida, was
easily the most attractive person on
the stage. The part of the love-sick
noet. Eueene Marchbanks, was ably
interpreted by Frank McEntee, di
rector of the company. Harry .Ne
ville, in the role of Mr. Burgess, the
comic old father of Candida, fur
nished an unusual amount of laugh
ter by his quaint Irish tongue, and
frankness under all circumstances.
The part of the Reverend James
Mavor Morrel, Candida's husband,
played by Wallis Roberts; that of the
Reverend Alexander Mill by Charles
Webster; and that of Proserpine,
Morrel's old maid stenographer, play
ed by Miss Gertrude Linnell all
were done well.
The effectiveness of Ibsen's excel
lent problem play was spoiled by the
forced prompting from off stage
necessary to keep Mr. Webster, who
had appeared well in a rather sub
ordinate part in "Candida," but who
took the leading male role here,
going. He had the ability to play

MAN STUDENT DIES
VIRGINIA SQUAD, STRONG
With Barden, Cox, Hawkins, and
Johnson, all in good form, Carolina's
chances for winning the tournament
held here on Wednesday afternoon
with Virginia will be good. The per
sonnel of the Virginia squad is not
known, but from reports the calibre
of the team is of a strong nature.
The team which will meet the Vir
ginia outfit, will be a much stronger
one than that of last year, two new
men having been added. The new
men are Cox and Johnson, both ex
cellent players. Cox has shown up
especially well, having played a very
close match with Pat Winston in
the state tournament held at Greens
boro last year. Cox is from Ashe
ville, and a graduate of Yale College.
Johnston has been showing up well
in the elimination tournament and
the exhibition matches played re
cently. His .forehand is especially
good, probably better than that of
anyone's on the court with the ex
ception of Barden. Johnston has been
playing very close matches with
Tench Cox, who is undoubtedly thej
best player on the courts. j
Barden is in much better form thisj
year than last year. He came out
at the top in the elimination tourna-j
ment, defeating Johnston in the,
finals. His forehand is the best on!
the courts, and his fast swerve is J
very baffling to all who oppose him.j
If he is in good form he will easily,
win in the single match.
Though defeated in the elimination j
tournament by Johnston, Hawkins is
one of the strong members of the
team. Hawkins plays a steady con-
sistent game, and pays especial at-J
tention towards placing his shots. He'
will play only in the doubles. This I
is his strongest point. j
Barden, Johnston and Cox will(
compose the singles team. While
Barden and Hawkins, Johnston and
Cox will compose the doubles team
The games will be played on the
University courts, courts 1, 4 and
probably 13. The courts are quite
a distance apart in order that the
spectators may be divided. Those (
who desire to see the game, will sit
on the side of the courts or imme
diately behind the wire backstop. No
one will be allowed to stand behind
the courts since they will interfere'
with the players. The singles will be
called at 2:30 and the doubles at
probably 3:30.
LAST GAME ON SCHEDULE
The Freshmen lost a hard fought
game to Virginia last Saturday at
Charlottesville by a score of 14 to 7.
Both teams were playing their best
football. The Virginians were prob
ably more successful in forward
passes, and each had difficulty in
scoring. The first year reserve men
were weakened by the loss of Blan
ton at left guard.
Sparrow, Vanstory and Dixon for
the Freshmen were the outstanding
stars, both playing ball of a stellar
quality. The forward passes attempt
ed were from Sparrow to Vanstory
or Thomas. All three men showed
up especially good in this phase of
the game.
The Virginia team possessed no
outstanding men, all of the team
playing a steady, consistent game.
Watts, Fleming and Harris played
good ball and the two touchdowns
scored were made mainly through the
efforts of these men.
The first quarter was dull, both
sides interchanging punts often, and
neither team being able to make sub
stantial gains. Virginia probably
made the longest gain during this
period, running back a punt for 30
yards. But a forward pass attempt
ed later,, was intercepted by Dixon,
and the quarter ended with the ball
in the Tar Heels' hands on her 35
yard line.
The scoring began in the second
period of the game when Harris of
Virginia blocked one of Sparrow's
punts and recovered it on Carolina's
25-yard line. Virginia succeeded in
making a first down via the line
plunging route, and a pass from
Arnold to Fleming netted the first
score.
Arnold received Carolina's kick-off
but fumbled, Woodson of Carolina
recovering deep in Virginia's territory
and making a first down. The Fresh
man attempted a drop kick which was
blocked. Dixon of Carolina recover
ed and Sparrow carried the ball over
for Carolina's first and only score.
Watts scored the winning touch
down for Virginia at the beginning
of the fourth quarter. A beauti
ful pass from Sparrow to Vanstory
netted 25 yards and it looked as
though the downhotners would tie
the score. The team lacked the punch
however, and were unable to put

THEATRE'S SIGNIFICANCE
Beall Woodward, young woman
student of Washington, D. C, was
struck by a car driven by Paul Spar
row, a local automobile driver, last
Snnday night and died a few min
utes after. Miss Woodward accom
panied by Elizabeth McKie, daugh
ter of Dr. McKie of the University
faculty, was on her way to the post
office when the tragedy occurred. The
accident happened at 6 o'clock in
front of the home of Mrs. R. S. Mc
Rae's. Miss McKie sustained no seri
ous injuries.
The young ladies were carried into
the McRae home by Btudents who
rushed from the A. T. O. fraternity
house. Dr. Abernathy was called im
mediately but Miss Woodward died
a few minutes before he arrived.
Sparrow, who had not been able
to see the young ladies on account
of the drizzling wind and the glare
from the arc light at the crossing
stopped his car immediately and ran
back to the scene. Miss Woodward,
lying on the side of the road, was
bleeding profusely. Her skull was
fractured at the base, causing her
death. Miss McKie, though badly
bruised and with a gash on her knee,
was not seriously injured. She faint
ed just as help arrived but recov
ered consciousness while being car
ried to the house.
, Sparrow was driving a Buick 7-
passenger car containing four people
besides himself. The rain and the
mist had made it almost impossible
for him to see any distance ahead.
Though driving at a moderate rate
of speed, he did not see the young
ladies ahead of him till just as the
impact occurred. The girls, who were
walking on the right-hand side of
the paved street to avoid the mud,
did not hear the automobile which
struck them from behind.
The county coroner being in Hills
boro, Dr. Abernathy was sworn in as
a substitute, and the inquest was
held before 10 o'clock, in order that
the body might be carried to Wash
ington Monday morning. Evidence
from witnesses gave the jury grounds
to completely exonerate Sparrow
from criminal offense and recom
mend that he be exempt from any
future legal action. According to
the verdict, Miss Woodward's death
was caused by fractured skull re
sulting from being struck by the
car.
Miss Woodward was a close friend
of Miss McKie's, and wishing to
spend the winter in the South was
staying with her during the schol
astic year. She was a member of
TOP IN RED CROSS CALL
Other Organizations Not Heard From
Saturday Night Canvass Being
Made All Over Town.
On Saturday night the Zeta Psi,
Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Delta Theta
fraternities had reported as having
gone one hundred per in subscribing
to the annual Red Cross roll call.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity was
added to the list Sunday.
The reports from the Medical
School have not come in yet but it
is understood that the school almost
as a whole, subscribed to the roll
call. The Law School and the Phar
macy School are also being thorough
ly canvassed by the members of the
committee who belong to these
schools.
As yet no full reports have been
received from the town and county.
These reports are necessarily delay

Manning is being conducted during
the first part of this week.
Present Conditions of Theatre and
People's Attitude Toward it
Considered.
(Continued on Page Four.)
Prof. F. H. Koch spoke in Me
morial Hall Thursday morning se
lecting "as his subject, "The Signifi-1
cance of the Theatre." In his open-i
ing remarks he stated the present
conditions of the theatre, and the way
in which people regarded the attrac
tions presented at the play houses.
"The purpose of living is the enjoy-,
ment of life," said Professor Koch,
and he continued by describing the
pictures that are being shown in Chi-!
cago and New York. In New York
the people have gone on record as
opposed to the present pictures shown
in the theatres, and have expressed
their opposition by the establishment'
of a censorship which provides for
the presentation of better pictures.
Professor Koch interpreted for the
student body the very trite expres-
sion "high brow," which we hear bo
often, spoken of plays and pictures'
presented. "A high brow," said he,j
"is ft person who is educated beyond j
his intelligence.' And the speaker
continued by saying that a Shakes
peare or Ibsen play was not so high
brow' as we think.
" He brought out clearly the act

Lighter High School Eleven Has
Easy Time With Local Team
27 to 0.
(Continued on Fag 8)
Goldsboro high school lit into
Chapel Hill high school last Satur
day afternoon on Emerson field, and
licked them to the tune of 27 to
0, much to the astonishment of
Chapel Hill and everybody present.
Chapel Hill took the ball on the
kick off and proceeded down the field
in play after to play with the little
Goldsboro line being ripped and torn
to pieces by the heavy Chapel Hill
team. On the one foot line the
Goldsboro aggregation recovered
their senses and for four downs held
the ball there. Ball went over on
downs and Goldsboro kicked beyond
their goal 'line. From that time on
the understudies of Carlyle Shepherd
had it all their way.
Chapel Hill was able to gain on
long end runs, and occasionally
through the line. Goldsboro was able
to gain almost anywhere they want
ed to. The Goldsboro quarterback
was the outstanding star of the
game, running back a punt fifty yards
one time and carrying the ball for
consistent gains throughout the game,

and Virginia will begin at 2 p. m.

APPEAL FOR RED CROSS
Makes Address In Chapel Urging
Students To Support and Heed
Roll Call.
Presenting the cause of the Red
Cross roll call in an earnest appeal
Professor Frank P. Graham spoke in
Memorial Hall Friday morning. In
a touching way he praised the work
of the Student Executive Council,
and declared that so far students had
neglected to offer opportunity of the
spirit and that this council exempli
fied this opportunity.
Professor Graham designated the
men here in the University who are
giving their time and money for the
Red Cross Roll Call, calling atten
tion to Jacobi, the Student Chairman,
and James Kerr, the Treasurer. He
spoke also of Jarman, Duls, Hart
sell, Morris, Rives and Sweetman
concerning this work. In checking
up the reports the other night he
stated, the Council felt a little dis
couraged over the outcome, and one
of the student workers said, "The
game is not over yet."
Pointing out the reason why this
student body should unite in a spirit
of generosity, and contribute their
dollars cheerfully and willingly to this
organization of peace and of war he
showed that the varsity would play
better ball if it knew that the stu
dents were one thousand strong for
the cause. Continuing, he declared
that Scrubby Rives would put across
better cheers if he knew the campus
was one hundred per cent in this
campaign for the Red Cross.
Professor Graham referred to the
last legislature and showed what it
did in the face of hard times, and
when the people in this common
wealth were unanimous in the opinion
that their pocket books were empty,
the legislature voted millions that we
might have a place to eat and sleep.
Mr. Graham related the fact that
Fred Patterson, a student here, left
his leg at St. Mihiel Salient and is
the first to join the Red Cross. And
other instances of the attitude shown
by the maimed and disabled Dough
boys were depicted for the students
by the speaker.
He impressed the students with the
fact that the self-help students were
the first to wear the badges, and
stated that it was a challenge to the
other men on the campus. Professor
Graham said, "The self-help stu
dents are an inspiration to me and
that is a challenge to every man in
North Carolina."
He concluded bis eloquent and
forcefu appeal in stating that the
unknown soldier buried with such
remarkable ceremony on November
11th gave everything to save the
world, even his name and that he
is here in spiritual presence with us.
Comparative Scores Indicate
Both Teams To Be About
Even.
CAROLINA TEAM IN SHAPE
Fetzer Has Worked Men Behind
Closed Gates Thousands Will
Be Here for Thanksgiving.
The Carolina-Virginia annual
Thanksgiving game is the first mag
nitude star now looming on the hori
zon of Carolina and the entire state.
Thursday morning Carolina will play
the gracious host of 10,000 people
who will flock from all parts of
the South to see the annual classic
between the two time honored insti
tutions. When the sun goes down on
Thanksgiving day, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand, nine hun
dred anej twenty one, either Vir
ginia or Carolina will have won.
When the sun goes down on No
vember 24, 1921, football history
will contain another chapter for
Carolina and Virginia.
According to comparative scores
the teams are about even. Virginia
defeated V. M. I. 14 to 7, and Car
olina took the same team into the
fold by a 20 to 7 score. Carolina
tied Davidson, Virginia beat David
son, 28 to 0. Comparative scores
during the past season, however,
have amounted to less than nothing
when arriving at the strength of any
two teams.
It is Carolina time to play against
a team as she played against V. M.
I. The team this year has demon
strated the fact that a win is in
order every other game, as a glance
at the scores of the season will in
dicate.
That Virginia is a worthy foe is
beyond question. She has played
several games wtih larger institu
tions, including Princeton, and while
not showing anything sensatonal, has
played consistent football all season.
Virginia sport writers claim that Vir
ginia has the best team in years. In
Captain Rheinhart she has a backfield
man of high calibre, and a leader of
ability and experience.
Coach Fetzer has been working
his team behind closed gates during
the past two weeks. When asked
about the game he replied, "No re
marks," a complicated offense is evi
dently being concocted to give Vir
ginia. No changes in the line-ups are
expected for the game.
Great crowds of people will fill
the gates that have been built all
around Emerson Field. Hundreds
have already arrived in the village
and nothing is being talked except
the game.
BACK SEAT OF 'FLIT
DEMOLISHED BY FIRE
Third "Cedarbird" Fire of Month
Has Small Attendance Fire Co.
Again in Action.
It seems as though the students
are becoming immune to the shrill
challenge of the fire truck's sirn,
for a scattered few sped a half mile
down the Durham road Saturday
night to witness the third "Cedar
bird" fire of the month, in whica the
back seat of a Ford, owned by a Mr.
Burt, was destroyed.
The blaze was started when a
piece of waste cloth caught fire from
the exhaust, spread to the leather
cushion, and would have demolished
the flivver in short order but for the
timely arrival of the valiant perspir
ing freshmen, who had the blaze
smothered before the fleetest of the
"cedarbirds' arrived on tbe scene.
The business end of the Ford was
apparently undamaged, 'for the en
gine roared as merrily as ever after
the fire was extinguished.
