SEMI-FINALS IN
CHAMPIONSHIPS
BEING PLAYED
After This Week Only Four
Teams Will Be In the
Running
FINAL GAME DECEMBER 8
The semi-finals of the High School
Elimination Series for the separate
championships of the East and West
will be played today (Friday) and to
morrow (Saturday) by eight teams,
fierce for glory and proud of their
records.
Every one of these teams has been
playing superlative high school foot
ball and will work at fever heat to
win its game which will put it in the
finals for the championship of its
section. Last year's finalists for the
state championship (Newbern from
the East, and Asheville, State Cham
pions, from the West) are among the
contenders and seem to have a good
chance to meet in the finals again.
In the East, New Bern, who re
cently tamed the fast squad from
Wilmington, will meet Rockingham
at Kaleigh who swamped Ellerbe on
Friday) Henderson, winners from Ox
ford by a 9 to 0 score, will play San
ford, with her Harry Frazier who
got away for a seventy yard run
against Sntithfield, on Saturday at
Chapel Hill.
In the West, the mighty Char
lotte eleven, that piled up the 108
to 0 score against Gastonia and has
just licked Spencer, will play Ashe
ville, State Champions and victors
over Statesville by a 39 to 7 score, at
Wilston-Salem Saturday; Greensboro,
the recent swampers of Leakesville
will play Monroe, the squad that beat
Shelby 13 to 7, at Monroe Saturday.
STUDENT WINS A PRIZE
In an essay contest recently initiat
ed by the building -committee of the
'new Durham Hotel, W. T. Couch, a
junior in the University, won a ten
dollar prize for writing the second
best essay on Why Durham Needs
a New Million Dollar Hotel." The
first prize of $20.00 was won by a
Durham citizen. Mr. Couch wrote his
essay under auspices of the Chapel
Hill branch of the Durham Secretar
ial School.
Cross-Country Team
Competes At Trinity
Captain of the cross-country team,
Dale Ranson, will head four other
men in the cross-country run at Trin
ity Saturday when Carolina journeys
over to Durham to run against Wash
ington and Lee, State College, Wake
Forest and Trinity.
Carolina will take two teams over
for the meet. The freshmen will be
lead by Captain Andrew Bell, of
Greensboro, who was recently elected.
The varsity will be probably com
posed of Ranson, Thatch, Milstead,
Scarborough and Wessells and the
freshmen will include Bell, Bird, Dan
iels, Raper and Brooks. It is thought
that others will go to Durham, but
only ten men will count.
The race will start at three-thirty,
during the halves of the Newberry
Trinity game from Hanes Field and
will end at the same place. The
course is three miles, three-fourths
of which is dirt road with one quar
ter being on concrete road.
The winners of the first five places
will be given individual medals do
nated by the business men of Dur
ham, and the winning team will re
ceive a loving cup.
This is by far the best team Caro
lina has ever had, and should Wash
ington and Lee have a mediocre day,
Carolina should give them a fight,
but they are slated to win, as they
are conceded to be the best in the
Southland.
The State Cross Country will be
held in Raleigh on Dec. 8th, and every
college in the state will take part.
State College was the winner of last
year's meet.
The consummation of three months
courtship on the part of Dan Gaster,
of Jonesboro, culminated Saturday
night, in wedlock with Mrs. Loma
Gardiner, formerly of West Durham.
The parties concerned, accompanied
by a few friends, motored to Durham
Saturday. They visited the Metho
dist Parsonage, and at 10:00 P. M.
the Parson tied the knot. Mr3. Gas
ter has been with Gooch for the past
three years, and Gaster for three
months.
FRESHMAN TEAM
OFF TO VIRGINIA
Game With Old Dominion Ex
pected to be Hard Fought
Throughout
Coach Johnston and twenty-three
men of the first year football squad
left Friday morning for Charlottes
ville for the annual game with the
Virginia freshman team. This will
probably be the last game of the sea
son for the Yearlings and will also be
among the hardest.
The Virginia team has been through
the season undefeated up until last
Saturday when they met the little
Flying Squadron of V. M. I., the re
sult of which is not known here. The
Old Dominion team has been under
the direction of Coaches Thomas and
Fenwick, former varsity players. The
contest is being looked forward.-to
because the systems of the two var
sity teams are in use by the young
sters, and the game may prove to be
an indication of the style of play that
will be employed by the varsity teams
in the big Thanksgiving game next
Thursday.
The Carolina team goes to Char
lottesville somewhat handicapped by
the loss of Marks, a fast back, who
was called home on account of his
mother's death. Nims, captain of the
young Tar Heels, who had his leg
hurt in the game with the South Car
olina freshmen, will be in the game
but will not be able to punt. His
sixty and seventy yard punts will be
sorely missed but Coach Johnston Ins
had Dill and Grimsley practicing up
on their punts since the South Caro
lina game.
The Virginia line-up will probably
be as follows: Dick, right end; Tyler,
right tackle; Bariesas, right guard;
Reynolds, center; Mackall, left guard;
Hayman, left tackle; Ahner, left end;
Reider, quarter back; Laird, right
half back; Mudhy, left half back;
Rowe, full back.
Coach Pritchard, who leaves to
night for Charlottesville tonight,
gave the following line-up to the Tar
Heel as the probable team that will
take the field tomorrow.. Pearsall and
Atkinson, ends; Beam and Potts,
tackles; Whisnant and Warren,
guards; Clont, center; Hackney,
quarter; Dill and Nims, halves; and
Shuford, fullback. Substitutes who
will probably get in are: Hicks, Pad
gett, McMurray, line; and Steele,
Grimsley, Branch, and Schlitz, backs.
FIRE DESTROYS GARAGE
Monday morning between three and
four o'clock, flames completely de
stroyed a wooden garage that stood
behind the negro "Pickwick" on Main
Street.
The Chapel Hill Fire Department
answered the fire alarm at 3:45 A. M.,
but were unable to stop the ravaging
flames, which quickly demolished the
structure.
The garage belonged to Henry
Guthrie, colored, and had four cars
stored within it: one new Chevrolet,
two practically new Durants, and a
Ford. A Ford skeeter and a truck
in front of the garage had all their
combustible parts burned.

FRONEBERGER MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT
Cheer leader Froneberger
gave further information to
a Tar Heel reporter concern
ing the plan announced in
the last issue of the Tar,
Heel for the cheering sec-,
tion Thanksgiving day. All
students will hold up white
card boards, which will be ,
placed in their seats before ,
the game, excepting those .
students who will form the
U. N. C. These men will :
hold up blue cards at a giv-;
en word from the cheerlead
er, making a white back
ground for the blue letters.!
"It is very important," said '
Froneberger, "that every
student co-operate in mak-"'
ing the new plan a success.
If worked right it will . be ,
the prettiest sight ever wit-'j,
nessed on Emerson field.",'
This formation will, be fur-y
ther explained at pep meet- ;
ings, and on the afternoon '
preceding the game, it will i
be given a tryout.
PUSHBALL GAME I
DURING HALVES
Big Crowd at Thanksgiving
Game Will See Champion-J
ship Contest I
More than one highly important
game will be seen on Emerson Field
Thanksgiving day. One of these
games will be the championship game
of the intra-mural pushball contest.
The victorious dorms in the two main
groups into which the dorms have
! been divided will pjay between halves
of the Virginia-Carolina game in or
der to decide who has the best push
ball team.
The New Dorms, (Battle, Vance,
and Pettigrew) are already the vjin
ners ' in' their1 group, and the repre
sentation of the other group will be
decided when Ruffin and Carr play.
A silver loving cup given by the
Laundry will be presented on the
field to the winning team
This will be the first time that intra-mural
sports have been actually
seen by the people of the State. On
this occasion the immense I'orongs
will view the result of the intra-mural
athletic committee's wovk. The
championship pushball game will
probably become the order of the diy
at every Virginia-Carolina game af
ter this provided that this one oroves
to be the success that it is expected
that it will.
The TAR HEEL will publish a spe
cial blue and white Thanksgiving is
sue, giving all information regarding
the game, players of each team, and
all events of the week end. The TAR
HEEL for the alumni will be put on
sale Thursday morning. The Circu
lation Department needs some help
for the sale of this issue. Apply in
person to the Business or Circula
tion Manager immediately.

THE FRIENDSHIP
COUNCIL WILL
AID STRANGERS
Members of Friendship Council
to Serve as Traffic Di
rectors Thursday
WILL HELP VISITORS MUCH
The 90 members of the Freshman
Friendship Council have set four
"trunk lines" of service to help han
dle the immense crowd due in Chapel
Hill Thursday for the Carolina-Virginia
game. The freshmen are deter
mined that every visitor to the cam
pus on that day shall be treated with
the fullest courtesy and extended as
much aid and information as possi
ble.
The plans worked out are: In the
first place a TRAFFIC GUIDE de
partment to see to it that all get a
safe parking space. To this end they
drafted a design for mapping and
chalk-lining all the parking space
jnto "pockets," so arranged that no
car shall be tied in behind another,
thus facilitating movement from the
campus after the game. Fifty fresh
men, to see that every car parks
squarely into a chalked-off "pocket"
when it arrives.
The University took this idea up
and agreed to have the "pockets"
lined off, and traffic cops furnished
in addition. Then the Carolina Auto
Association took it all over from the
University, and went still one better,
by sending men to make a diagram
of all space, do the lining off of
spaces, and in addition sending out
scout cars over all roads leading in
to Chapel Hill next Monday and
Tuesday to make a diagram of the
roads, and to send out through all
daily papers and special circulars, in
formation as to the condition of all
roads into the Hill, how to miss the
bad points, how to come into the Hill
and the general section of the cam
pus in which cars from any given di
rection should park. The Carolina
Auto Association is to furnish traf
fic cops, and will use -in addition the
50 freshmen which the Friendship
Council has assigned to the TRAF
FIC GUIDE Committee.
A committee of 15 freshmen will
operate a large INFORMATION
BOOTH by the Old Well, not only an
swering all questions but will furnish
guides to visitors over the campus,
and for finding students whom the
visitors would like to look up. In the
third point of service, 8 freshmen are
to operate a LUNCH ROOM by the
Well, selling 50c lunches in regular
lunch boxes so that alumni can come
in groups or pairs, or singly,

SANDERS TALKS
ABOUT PRISONS
Gives Very Interesting Facts
Regarding Prisons to
N. C. Club
The North Carolina Club held its
fortnightly meeting Monday, Novem
ber 19, in Saunders Hall. After the
regular business of the organization
had been transacted the members
listened to a very interesting talk by
Mr. W. B. Sanders on "County Pris
ons." The information given out in
this talk was gathered by an investi
gation that the department of Rural
Social Economics conducted through
the prisons of the state. Question
naires were sent out to forty-nine rep
resentative county prisons seeking in
formation as to the conditions exist-
ant in the jails. Also individual
questionnaires were sent to three
hundred and six prisoners in the va
rious county jails. The results of
these question sheets were given out
by Mr. Sanders, and they shed an in
teresting light on the prison condi
tions in the state.
It was found that sixty-two per
cent of the inmates of the jails were
either totally illiterate or could bare
ly read and write; 62.3 per cent were
under thirty years of age. As to the
offense for which they were charg
ed, 31.1 per cent were convicted of
violating the prohibition law; 27.2 per
cent for crimes against property,
such as stealing, larceny, burglary,
etc; 22.2 percent for crimes of vio
lence, such as murder and assault;
7.8 percent for sex crimes.
As to the prisoners' religious affil
iations it was found that 50.3 per
cent did not belong to any church;
46.1 percent belonged to some church;
3.6 percent had formerly been mem
bers of churches but had withdrawn
for some reason.
Concerning the health of the prison
inmates, it was learned that 25.4 per
cent either had venereal diseases at
the time the questionaires were sent
out or had formerly been afflicted
with some form of venereal disease.
Interesting . facts were learned
about the condition, sanitray and oth-

RED CROSS WILL
CONDUCT ANNUAL
CALL FOR FUNDS
Every Student and Citizen of
Town Will Be Asked to
Answer Roll Call
GIRLS TO SOLICIT FUNDS
November 23rd to November 27th
is the time set aside for the annual
Red Cross Roll Call in Chapel Hill.
During that time every person in
town and every student will be asked
to answer the roll call of the Amer
ican Red Cross with a membership
fee of at least $1.00. Girls attired
in Red Cross costume will solicit
the sale of the buttons indicating
you have done your bit. There will
be four booths for this sale: at Swain
Hall, the Post Office, the "Y," and the
Pickwick.
Plans for a thorough canvass of
the campus were made at a meeting
Wednesday presided over by Dr.
Odum, Chairman of the Chapel Hill
Chapter of the Red Cross. Those
present at that meeting will act as a
campus committee. They include:
Wm. D. Harris, Dean Bradshaw, the
"V" C,...t...r 1M nnna W IT
Holderness, W. W. Gwynn, John Pur
ser, J. O. Harmon, Jack Allsbrook,
and Miss Frances Venable.
Wm D. Harris will serve as gen
eral chairman for the campaign in
both town and University. W. W.
Gwynn, president of the senior class,
will head the campus committee, Mrs.
Walter Patten, president of the Com
munity Club, will be in charge of the
drive in town.
Miss Minnie Harmon, Executive
Secretary of the Durham Red Cross
Chapter and representative of the
Southern Division, will assist in the
drive. She made a talk at chapel
this morning explaining the work of
the Red Cross and the purpose of the
annual roll call.
The splendid and immediate re
sponse of the American Red Cross to
the need of Japan after the great
earthquake the past summer is just
.such work as gives the Red Cross the
united support of all good citizens.
Here in North Carolina in the past
year at New Bern after the great fire
and at Wendell after the destructive
cyclone, the Red Cross lent tremen
dous assistance and did relief work
for several months.
Student Section To
Have No Outsiders
No outsiders will be admitted into
the student section 1 Cheer leader
Froneberger says that this is final
and will be strictly adhered to at the
rame. It has been reported that a
number of students have been get
ting tickets from other students for
parents, or girls in the student cheer
ing section. Those who do this will
be much embarrassed when they will
be barred from the cheering section
on the day of the big game. He says
that guards will absolutely keep out
all but students from the cheering sec
tions. Sections for students who have
girls or friends down for the game
and who wish to sit with them will
have special sections at the side of
the student section for this particu
lar purpose. The guards will not be
embarrassed in the least by barring
outsiders from the student section.
This measure is necessary on ac
count of the cheering. A break in
the cheering section will greatly hurt
the cheering for the game and upon
that depends much on the outcome
of the game. The cheerleaders ask
that all students attend the pep meet
ings which are scheduled in another
part of the TAR HEEL so that the
yells and songs may be practiced.
The band will be on hand at all these
pep gatherings and it is desired to
have as large an attendance as pos
sible. iHORT STORY CONTEST
A contest in Short Story Waiting
open to all students enrolled during
the fall of 1923 in any college or Uni
versity in the state will be conducted
by the office of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Raleigh, N. C,
for a prize given by Mrs. Edith Van
derbilt, a copy of the works of
O'Henry. This contest will be open
until April 1, 1924. Envelopes should
be sent to the Superintendent with
the words "Short Story Contest" writ
ten on it in addition to the address.
