YALE AT NEW
HAVEN SATURDAY
Vol. XXXII.
Chapel Hill, N. C, October 6, 1923
Number 5
FETZERS SEND SECOND TEAM
TO REPRESENT CAROLINA IN
BIG CLASSIC IN YALE BOWL
Coaches decide at last minute
to save the first string
men.
COMMENT ON ACTION
It was hoped that the Varsity
would put Spiked Punch in
Yale Bowl
With the loss of Sparrow and Mer-
ritt staring him in the face Varsity
Coach Bill Fetzer left Thursday night
for New Haven with only two letter
men on the squad that he will send
up against Yale tomorrow. Appar
ently placing more importance on
winning the State championship,
v.liu-h will virtually be decided with'
in the next two weeks, than in mak-
ing a brilliant but useless showing
a gainst a distant university Fetzar
' decided at the last moment to save
his Varsity men for the Trinity
cramp nn the 12th and the N. C.
.
; State game on the 18th.
Lia Poindexter, powerful guard
' with several seasons of experience,
; nd "Ileinie" Linebrger, substitute
t end on last year's South Atlantic
f; Champions are the only two letter
men that will make the trip. The
i.line will be much heavier than that
: of the Varsity and will compare fav-
; ;orabiy with that of Yale in the mat-
i ter of weight.
Just what the reaction will be in
:Npw Haven is 'problematical. Old
.: "Eli" was given the scare of her life
"last year and will probably start off
her first string men, unless she gets
' ivise to the trick and saves them for
another day. On the other hand it
is Yale's opening game and she is
idepemling on it to limber up her men
and try out her new plays.
It must be remembered that in !;st
'year's game both "Red" Johnston and
Hawfield received injuries that inter
fered greatly with their work for the
rest of the season. But last year the
squad had plenty of reserve strength
and waded through the rest of the
'schedule without the least semblancu
of defeat. But the tale is different
ihis year and McDonald, Bonner, Un
:derwood and Randolph are too valua
!ble to be uselessly risked.
' The fact that the State Champion
ship in baseball resulted in a tie last
spring has raised the ire of the coach
es to a high pitch 'and they have no
intentions of risking the title in foot
ball. Carolina runs up against the
'Trinity team on next Friday and
from present prospects it seems to
bo the plan to grind the pure living
life out of the Methodists. Then
ivithin six days State College is tack
led in Raleigh and another hard game
'must be lived through. If Carolina
fan emerge victorious from these two

Official Figures Prepared by the
Registrar's Office Shows big
Increase over last Year.
The figures showing the number
of students registered in the Uni
versity, up to date, also shows a lar
ger increase than the University ha?
had during any previous year. There
are approximately three hundred
more students in school than there
were at this time last year.
The congestion in dormitories of a
few years ago, was thought to be
done away with for a decade by the
erection of B, C, D, and E. Contrary
to expectations, however, the unusual
registration growth has caused con
ditions such that the larger rooms
in Old West, Old East, South, and
Carr, all have three, and some four
men in them. Some of the rooms in
Battle, Vance, and Pettigrew, have
lour men in them.
As the number of men registered
always increases during the year,
this congestion is not expected to
decrease during the whole year.
Figures prepared by the Regis
trar's office are:

Work on Carolina's newest athletic
field is expected to get underway
late this week, according to C. T,
Woollen, graduate manager of athlet
ics.
The new field will be located south
east of the freshmen field and will
bo utilized for mass athletics between
the dormitories. Until the field is
completed, the intramural contests
will bo held on Emerson Field.
The new field will prove ample
space for every student to secure
some sort of outdoor exercise.
This new field will be built in ad
dition to the indoor athletic field
which will be completed in time for
the basketball season, having room
for eight basketball courts. All Var
sity games will be played on one of
these courts, with room provided for
a crowd of spectators.
WORK ON THE INN IS
PROGRESSING NICELY
Vi ork 13 progressing nicely on
Chapel Hill's new hotel, The Caro
.ina Inn, which is in course of con
struction on the lot formerly occu
pied by Mrs. M. W. Daniel's board
ing house, just at the West Gate. It
s hoped by the builders that it will
be completed by late next spring.
Chapel Hill has for a long time
needed a new hotel very much, and
its completion will ba hailed with de
light by all concerned. The hotel is
being built by John Sprunt Hill of
Durham, and the contractor is H. L.
Smith, assisted by his son, G. L.
Smith. The plans were drawn up by
The T. C. Atwood Organization.
The building itself will be three
stories high and fireproof " through
out. It will contain sixty-two bed
rooms. No expense has been spared
in making it up-to-date and modern
in every respect. Across the front
jn the first floor will be a large din-
ng room, a two-section lobby and a
ladies' rest room. Directly behind
the lobby and at the rear of the build
ing there will be a large 50x50 ball
room. The second and third floors
w;.l be entirely bedrooms except for
a balcony around the ball room on
Jie second floor.
MISS BATTLE OPENS TEA
itOOM AND COFFEE HOUSE
A new business enterprise has bjen
started in Chapel Hill. In the old
3arb:.'e Place, which is located be
'.ween the Methodist Church and
Foister's, Miss Nancy Battle has
jpened a sort of tea room and cof
fee house to be known as Nancy's
Coffee House.
The reporter, on getting wind of
the opening of the new place, drifted
in to give it the once over. It is an
exceedingly nice place and will to
appreciated by the students. It is the
very place for the weary student on
his way to class and a hard quiz to
stop over for a few minutes and for
get his t'-oubles and come out with
a meal that is bound to satisfy ,
The house opens at 9 A. M. and
closes at 1 1 P. M. Delicious waffles
and coffee are served any time dur
ing these hours and regular meals are
served during meal hours.
EMBER BABSON
AGENCY SPEAKS
aiinW. Hill, from Statistical
Agency Predicts Lessened
Business for 1924
Speaking under' the auspices of the
'Jniversity School of Commerce, Olin
W, Hill, a member of the firm of the
oger W. Babson Statistical Agency
if Wellesley Hills, Mass., predicted
essened business and a higher bond
narket for the year 1921, in a lec
;ure delivered here Wednesday night.
He stated that three factors would
-trobably affect the business situation.
i hey are a possible loan to Japan,
he unstttled conditions in Germany,
and a tendency toward political rad
calism in this country.
High cotton prices in the south
ibove 22 cents, he said are unwar
ranted by fundamental business con
litions, and are caused by specula
lion. The present method of , handling
business has resulted in, the ponsum1--2r
paying CO cents, overhead charges
for 40 cents worth, of produce,: the
speaker declared.
As long as service is the dominat
ing principle of business, we have the
fundamental cause of prosperity and
when the mere principle of .-. the
iollar dominates the situation, there
by lies the cause of depression, it was
affirmed. " ' ' "' '
Many Commerce students heard
Mr. Hill's lecture and asked him sev
eral questions when it was over.
Prof. Murchison, of the School of
Commerce, introduced the speaker of
the evening.
October 12th., marks the one
hundred and thirtieth anniversary of
the laying of the cornerstone of Old
East building. University Day, as it
has come to be called, has always
been a day when alumni and under
graduates have gathered to worship
and swear new allegiance to their
Alma Mater. This year, a much lar
ger student body will gather to hear
cf Carolina's past glory than has ev
er assembled in old Memorial before.
The Hon. W. N. ' Everett, '80, Sec
retary of Et:.te, member of the board
of trustees, and member of the exe
cutive and building committee of
irustees, will make the principal ad
dress of the day at eleven o'clock.
Eight thirty 'and nine thirty class
es will be held; then, as has been the
custom, undergraduates, professional
schools, and faculty will assemble bq
fore Alumni to' march to 'Memorial
Hall at' eleven. Cf course the Trinity
game in Durham will occupy the af
ternoon.

MED. SCHOOL DOGS TO
HAVE NEW DORMITORY
MED. STUDENTS WATCH
MULE DO HIS STUFF
A mule, under the care of a young
negro, while passing the Med. Bi aid
ing Wednesday "afternoon suddenly
collapsed and rolled into the side
ditch, from which it could not rise.
A sympathetic crowd quickly gath-
ared around to offer advice, while the
scared negro ran for aid. The ne
gro soon' returned, withj one of his
own tribe and followed by most of
Lhe Med. students. The first year
students stood on the bank and wat
ched their seniors pull the mule from
the ditch, stand him on his feet, con
gratulate each other, lock arms, and
stroll back towards Caldwell Hall
talking about the bill that was to
be presented later. j
A stupendous: biiUdingi.projflct hat
been accepted by Atwood and Nash,
inc., at the request of Dr. Manning of
the Medical Department. The new
building will be situated in the woods
south of the. campus.
:, A fenpe , some : forty feet square
will surround the projeet. The1 plan
is to. erect a , sanitary kennel, con
taining five, compartments, to house
-he dogs used in experiments by the
Medical School It is a significant
Tact that the Co-ed dorm is about to
be built. The doomed inmates of the
kennel will doubtless appreciate the
40 foot yard and the opportunity of
a few bays at a baleful moon as much
as the Med. students will appreciate
che comparative freedom from flees,
:md the men in the new dorms, the
absence of anguished canine shrieks
which now split the still night in
twain. "".
Y. CAMPAIGN CONTINUED
FRESHMEN ORGANIZE
DEBATING SOCIETY
Great interest is being manifested
by the freshmen of the University in
a debating society, organized by them
last Monday night in the Di Hall,
when officers for the fall quarter
were elected.
It is announced that topics of fen
sral interest will be debated, as was
the custom in a similar freshmen
society last year. All first year men
interested are invited to be present
at the meeting next Monday.
Officers elected are: Lee Kennett,
President; J. H. Williams, vice-president;
ard Howard Raper, secretary.
Dr. N. W. Walker, Dean of the
School of Education, left Thursday
night for Washington to deliver an
address before the Teachers' Asso
ciation assembled there.
The "Y" financial campaign was
continued through Thursday night,
due to the fact that the canvassers
were unable to see a large part of the
student to get their contributions,
The full quota had hot buen reached
when this paper went to press, bu
practically the entire amount is ex
pected by llie t'lose' of1 the campaign.
Nearly one hundred canvassers . took
uart in the drive for funds, and the
failure to reach the quota as soon as
was expected was not due to lack of
energy on the part of the workers,
but to the fact that a great part of
the students were out of their rooms
.nd could not be seen.
While the varsity is spending its
week-end hanging around the drug
store here in Chapel Hill and the
second team is on its quest to ' twist
the bull dog's tail,- Carolina's hard
working "iron men" have set out for
Wilmington to do their share by mat
ching their prowess against tha Wilmington-
Light Infantry team. The
scrubs have, been working hard, and
they have received some hard knocks
from the varsity, but Saturday's
game promises to be even harder, for
the soldiers have a reputation of be
ing rought on visitors.
The following men : left .Friday
mprning for Wimingtonc Bateman,
B.ostick, Doggett, Knloo, . Fowler,
Fouts, Gvier, Hawkins, Jones, New
born, . Rowe.i Smith,, Street, Teague',

The Country Club
Gives Big Reception
The Chapel Hill Country Club,
which was organized last year, open
ad its doors Wednesday night with a
house-warming, reception and dance.
Besides the Club members many of
the new faculty members were pre
sent as guests of the Club.
Extensive plans have been made
for the future, and prospects for a
thriving club are bright. A nine
hole golf course and a tennis court
are to be completed Boon, while a
dance -will be given regularly every
month. .
At present there are no student
membars, but the golf course should
prove a big inducement.
Coach Grady Pritcliard's Tar Heel
Yearlings will play their opening
football game of the year Saturday
afternoon on Emerson Field when
the Mars Hill college aggregation
comes to the Hill to do battle with
the frosh eleven.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
150 candidates have baen working out
under Coach Tritchard. The first
scrimmage of the year was held on
Tuesday, with about 30 men partic
ipating. Equipment was issued dur
ing the early part of the week.
The Freshmen this year will have
one of the fastest first year elevens
in Carolina's history. Some of tho
new men have all of th-j physical
proportions of mountain trees, and
show exceptional promise. Tho Frosh
number in their ranks no less than
25 ex-high school and former prep
school captains.
Rockhill, S. C, high school has
sent a heavy delegation, while Char
lotte high, Asheville, Durham, Fish
burne, r.iverside, of Georgia, and
other schools have also sent represen
tatives. One of the most promising' fresh
men out is' Nims, who has exhibited
great ability as a punter.
Despite their good showing thus
far, the first year men vvill have no
easy tussle tomorrow. O. E. Roberts
former Carolina man, is coaching the
Mars, f Hill eleven. Reports'' 'front
western Carolina declare that he has
the best prep school team in the
state.

BEAN BRADSIIAW'S BOOTLEGGER
USURPS PLATFORM IN CHAPEL
Decrepit old man proves to be George Denny, Manager of the
Playmakers Discusses Plans for the Season
The October number of the High
School Journal, published by the
School'of Education, is out today.
Dean Bradshaw was rudely inter
rupted in his Chapel exercises Tues
day by the appearance of an old,
bearded, ill-dressed man. Despite the
efforts of the ushers he forced his
way to the platform. The cause of
the Dean's anxiety was soon discov
ered for the old man announced him
self as his private bootlegger. Mr.
3rdshaw was afraid to do anything
md he let the old man have the
loor in peace.
The bootlegger said that his name
was Noah Setzer and that he sold
,he bast and strongest '-'likker" in the
ounty. In order to prove his claim
le produced a bottle from one of his
,-ockets and instead of asking anyone
o sample it, he poured some of it
:n his face and whiskers. The stren
gth of his "corn" was every bit as
much as he had claimed for it took
lis whiskers completely off. After
emoving his coat and wig it wa?
een that he was none other than
ieorge Denny, manager and veteran
ctor of the Carolina Playmakers.
Mr. Denny explained to the aud
ience something of The Playmakers
and their plans for this year. He em
phasized The Taming of the Shrew,
which will be given in the Forest
Theatre on Monday, October 15th.
This will be -specially interesting to
followers of the Playmakers, for Mr.
Koch will make his first appearance
in Chapel Hill in the role of Petru
chio. The Playmakers will make three
short trips this year in place of the
two long ones usually undertaken.
There will be four new productions
presented this season, a series of
new Folk Plays and the Shakesper
an performance. Tong Sarg's Mar
ionettes have been booked for two
performances: a matinee of Hans
and Gretel and Little Red Riding
dood, and an evening performance of
Don Quixote.
Mr. Denny also explained the sub
scribing membership. This member
ship entitles the holder to one reser
ved seat for all performances of the
Playmakers and a 10 per cent dis
count on all outside attractions
brought here under their auspices.
These memberships sell for $2.00
jach.
The Carolina Playmakers have
made a flying start this year, this
being the second novel announce
ment they have been able to bring
before the student body. Last week
at College Night, they put on an
extract from Wilbur's Cousin, a
modern comedy of college life, by
Ernest Thompson.
The Minotaurs, alias "The Bulls", a
sophomore social order, held an ini
tiation Monday night and tho follow
ing yearlings were selected: W. B.
Ballou, Bill Devin, Jack Cobb, Stacy
Smith, Brandon Hodges, Frank Ila
mer, and Emmett Underwood.
The Sheiks, another organization
of the same kind, and bitter rivals
of the "Bulls," held an initiation on
Wednesday night and found the fol
lowing with all the- qualifications of
a "Duke of the Desert": Bob Huf
fines, Harold Lineberger, Jim Webb,
Dave Woodard, Norman Cordon, Rus
sell Braswell, and Tommy Clarkson.
Much interest is bsing shown all
over the campus, for the initiation in
both organizations, which lasts for
severul weeks, is rich with the com
ical antics of the victims.
SPOOKY STUFF
AT RUSSELL INN
Mystic Order invades Co-ed's
Stronghold. No one knows
anything about it.
Petition Circulated
To Oust Med. Dogs
A few days ago a petition was be
ing circulated among the students in
the Quadrangle asking the University
officials to remove the dogs from the
Medical building, claiming that the
constant howling of these cannies is
a source ;of annoyance and a hind
rance to concentrated study. The
bearer of the petition gave a leng
thy discourse in which he set, forth
the manner in which these dog gone
beasts are preventing the boys from
getting the most possible knowledge
out of their books. Indeed, the chor
js that the brutes send out oit fire
otherwise still night air is becoming
monotonous, for the tune is ever the
same just a lusty concourse of yaps,
barks and howls. The students in
.hese parts do not seem to care for
that kind of jazz, and they say that
something has got to be done. Now
we contend that if the dogs are keep
ing down the (rale of Phi Beta Kappa
keys they ought to be removed and
that before mid-term exams.
Mystic signs, sounds, and cards are
in order at the Russell Inn now. Sev
eral placards have been discovered
in the hall bearing mysterious mes
sages signed by tho "Mystic Order".
Yesterday morning some of the
new girls were especially honored by
individual cards. These apparently
appeared in the room by magic, or
it least nothing definite was known
of the donor. One such card, be
sides being very attractively decorat
ed, bore the following inscription:
"Ye jewel, be ye ruby or pearl, will
speak for one minute at dinner to
night on the all important question,
Do fish perspire? If so, at what
rate?"
Nothing is known of this new or
der, its origin, members, or purpose
only its power in unquestioned. How
ever every one seems to be enjoying
the fun, yes, even the victims.
Interfraternity
Conference Meets
The regular monthly sessions of
the Interfraternity Conference have
been resumed. The first of tho
monthly meetings was held in New
York September 8th.
The committee on national expan
sion reported a great need for more
national fraternities last spring. As
a result of this report, a conference
of selected locals will take place on
the morning of Friday, November 30,
the day of the plenary session of the
Interfraternity Conference. These
selected locals will decide whether
they desire to band together as a
new national.
