Parties are being made up to hire cars and make the jour ney in style, while many students will use the busses and trains. With the great number of alumni and - visitors from all parts of the state, Gore field should see the largest crowd in its history. The feeling everywhere seems to be that Wake Forest will be Carolina's hard est rival in the state, and the winner of this game will in all probability take the state championship. It is difficult to make an estimate of the strength of the two teams. The Wake team is expected to be made up of practically the same men that were defeated 22 to 0 by the Tar Heels last year, but since that time they have gone through a season of stiff coaching under the redoubtable "Hank" Garrity. The strength of the Tar Heels remains to be shown, but most of the campus dopesters are of the opinion that the Tar Heels this year will stack up as good as the team of last year, and that -they should repeat their victory. No figures are available but it is expected thnl the two rivals will be about evenly matched as to weight The Blue and White eleven will be but slightly heavier than that of last fall. , Carolina and Wake Forest have been scrapping annually since relations were resumed in 1907, with Carolina always carrying off the large end of the score. It was considered a feat when the Dea; cons scored three points against the Car olina Wonder Team of 1922, although beaten by the score of 62 to 3. Many of the games have been hard fought, close contests, but it was unusual for the Baptists to score. This year it seems quite possible that they will not only score but defeat the Tar Heels. This Is the hope and the dream toward which Wake students and alumni are looking for ward,,,. At all events this game should be one of the best in North Carolina this year, with the winner carrying off a hard earned victory. " No one can say just who will be the representatives of either school. Both the Fetzers and Garrity are as silent as the proverbial Sphinx; but it Is expected that this line-up will probably be used Wak Fortti Daniel .. Pegano Carolina Braswell Epstein Ends Moran .

While there Miss Gray, who last year created two roles with remarkable success, appeared In several parts. , , Stuart Walker's company offered a repertory at the Cox theater during the summer, producing among others, "Lil iom," Galsworthy's "Justice," Alice Brad ley's "Three Roses," and Gilbert Emery's "The Hero." The students who attend ed the rehearsals were directed in the various phases of acting and production, usually making their 'own costumes when they were fortunate enough to be as signed a part Miss Gray played the part of a servant girl in "Llliom," and parts in several other plays. She holds this year the Playmaker fellowship and is specializing in dramatic work. Swain Hall is now overflowing with boarders, since the Influx of students the first of last week. All the tables are now filled to capacity. It has even reach ed the point where it Is necessary to set two tables in the kitchen. Swain Hall is now employing 75 self-help students. Ruth Draper, whose recitals have caused a tremendous sensation In New York, London, and Paris, will come to Chapel Hill October 7.""under the aus pices of the Carolina Playmakers. She will appear in Memorial Hall that night at 8:30 in original character sketches. This will mark the opening of the Play maker season. ; The Playmakers consider themselves as fortunate in securing Miss Draper as they were in having Tony Sarg's Mario nettes to play here. Miss Draper is to day one of the greatest box office at tractions in America. She has played to capacity houses in nearly every national capital and return engagements In near ly every large city, and has convinced theatre-goers and critics of her suDrem- acy in the art. She has been rdavinir a successful season in New York where her Sunday nights at the Selwyn theatre have become an institution, and in spite of lengthened engagements and use of larger houses, her houses are always sold out in advance. As an artist and entertainer Miss Draper is original in every way. She is not a monologist In the old fashioned sense. She needs no scenery, no drapery to help portray her characters, and yet she creates an atmosphere that . is the true background of whatever sketch she is giving. ; "MONK" M'DONALD TO COACH CAROLINA FIVE Star University Athlete Will Succeed Shepherd As Men tor for 1925 Quint GOOD PROSPECTS FOR ANOTHER WINNING TEAM The Carolina quint, four times cham pions of the South Atlantic states and twice-of the -entire' Smith, will be coached this year by Angus Morris (Monk) Mc Donald, who made four letters in basket ball while at Carolina and was twice picked for All-Southern guard. "Monk" will return to school and take up the study of medicine, coaching the basketeers as a sideline. A wonderful player himself, with a reputation as one of the brainiest, most level-headed ath letes who ever donned the Blue and White, he should make an excellent coach. McDonald made twelve letters while at Carolina, starring in football, basket ball and baseball. Besides being picked as All-Southern guard in basketball, he was also chosen for' All-South Atlantic quarterback and All-State shortstop. He will have four regulars as a nu cleus for his team in S. McDonald, Cobb, Dodderer and Devin, and with several promising men from last year's squad and from the freshman team he should put out a winning combination this win ter. THREE MATH. PROFS. GET MARRIED WHILE STUDENTS ARE AWAY What Was Once. Three Is Now SixCupid Did Good Work KOCH REPORTED TO BE GETTING JEALOUS The mathematics department has put Cupid Koch entirely out of Commission at least so far overshadowed the roman tic and match-making Playmakers that tt is expected that they will be crushed by such rival success. Never has the exponent of the "drainmer" brought three matches to a successful culmina tion in one week. Dr. A. W. Hobbs and his bride, for merly Miss Nell Blair of Alabama, are living at the Hickerson's while waiting for the completion of their home in the Gimghoul settlement. , Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Brown are living at the J. A. Warren s. Mrs. Brown was formerly Miss Catherine Boyd of Greensboro, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. John Lasley are at the Woollen's. Mrs. Lasley was formerly Miss Edna Millikan of Greensboro. 1 Mrs. Brown graduated from the. Uni versity in 1923, last year bein secretary to Dr. L. R. Wilson. Mrs. Hobbs was also on the library staff. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO MEET The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees will hold a meeting cn Tues day, September 30 Chapel Hill and the University will be blessed, with an abundance of good theatrical attractions this year. The Carolina Playmakers, whose vast growth has made them an institution, in the State, are sparing nothing in providing an elaborate program for Chapel Hill during ' 1924-25. f'T-.-'-V 'V; -' Ruth Draper, who appears in Memo-, rial Hall October 7 in original char acter sketches, is the first attraction. Miss Draper is nationally known and is considered) . foremost in her art. -:i The Playmaker management is negotiating with the Devereaux Players for a per formance here In the latter part of Oc tober, and it is probable that Chapel Hill will have the pleasure of ; seeing these well known players again. The New Playmaker Theatre, which is now under construction on the site of the Old Law building, will not be completed' in time for the regular fall appearance of the Playmakers, so a State tour will be made before playing here. The tentative dates for their appear ance here are December 6 and 6, when, as usual, three folk plays will be pre sented. " . ., Immediately after the completion of the" handsome new theatre, which will be the latter part of November, the Play makers plan to hold a reunion of the Playmaker family. Such an affair will bring together many prominent people who have been active in dramatics and Writing since their graduation here.' The Playmakers, have recently re ceived invitations to play in' Birming ham, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., and Miami, Fla., in addition to other smaller towns throughout the South. It is very likely that a Southern or Interstate Tour will be made the last of January. This will be a new departure for the Playmakers, and all indications show that it will be successful They have been popular with State audiences for a number of years, and well-known critics have hern enthusiastic. : , ' '-,'., .: . . The second series of folk plays will be produced the first of March as has been the custom heretofore, and the regular State tour will follow. ' The feature of the winter will be the appearance of Tony Sarg's Marionettes here March 6. Always a good show it has never failed to make a hit In Chap el Hill. Tony- Sarg will present two plays this year, Robert Louis Steven son's "Treasure Island", and "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". Chapel , Hill re members well his famous rendition of Don Quixote last year. A feature of the show this year will be musical puppets. -: In the Spring quarter will be the third and last series of Folk plays of the year and a play in the Forest theatre. - The Playmaker Readings which be came a . regular Institution last year, will be continued this year and will be given more Importance. . Professor Koch, Theodore Fitch, Dr. Bernard, Katherine Battsfi recently graduated from the In tertheatre Arts, and others equally well equipped to present these Sunday night programs, are all . available. With the completion of the new theatre -the read ings Will be improved with lighting ef fects and scenery. These readings will usually be accompanied with music. Season tickets for all Playmaker at tractions of the year may be secured at an early date. Five students were entered at the in firmary last week, none of the cases be ing serious, however. J. L. Kapp, C. B. Powers and S. B. Meadows were con fined with colds, E. O. Jackson with ma laria and R. H. Sherrill with nettle rash. Plans are now under way for a big banquet to be held in the Baptist church. This banquet will be the firing gun for the "Y's" big financial campaign. Noted speakers will be present to aid in making the banquet a big success. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1924 University of North Carolina - Wake Forest College Yale Trinity -N. C. State Univ. of Maryland Univ. of South Carolina V. M. I. ... ' Davidson ' Virginia While making his nightly round, a re porter on the Tab Heel staff Monday night, discovered one of the University's brand new "Park Here" signs wander ing around the campus and after suc cessfully staking a capture, brought the gifted piece of iron into the paper's of fice as proof for his story and as proof that the college is getting out of its time honored mire and rut and gradually assuming a modern day aspect. it The sign in question spent Saturday night near the Pharmacy School, strolled over to Fraternity Row during the early hours of Sunday morning and before the day was- done it had made a pretty thorough inspection of that section of the campus. . Monday night, when sur prised and captured, it was seeking shel ter from the heavy downpour of rain and had parked Itself under the oak tree on the north side of Smith dormitory. So jubilant was ithe mud soaked re porter over the signs of progress that he prophesied that the day would soon come when hard surface walks would grace the campus and the students would no longer be forced to paddle around in liquid mud. As a testimony to his joy he composed a private ditty to automo biles, the publication of which Is im possible for various reasons. Tuesday morning the sign was placed on exhibition in the Tab Heel's show window in New West Building and has attracted considerable attention. One mercenary reporter, evidently expecting to make a little money on the side, ad vertised it for sale at a bargain price and spent all day Tuesday in confident expectation that some freshman would stroll in and have it wrapped up. . In addition to attracting the attention of the students, the sign in the window has thrown consternation into the ranks of the building and ground force. Sev eral employees of the University In spected the standard Tuesday . and pro nounced it as being, beyond a doubt, the property of the college.; Just now, the foster-mother reporter who rescued It from the storm, is expecting its removal from the office at any time. '; DR. CHASE TO SPEAK THURSDAY NIGHT AND WELCOME FRESHMEN Upperclassmen Are Urged to ' Attend the Exercises in Memorial Chapel BAND WILL BE ON HAND WITH MUSIC President Chase will extend welcome to the Freshman Class on behalf of the members of the faculty next Thursday when the "University Night" exercises are held in Memorial Hail at 8:30. In addition to the address by the Presi dent, . there will be also welcoming speeches by William J. Cooke, Jr., Presi dent of the. Student Council and by L. P. McLendon, of Durham, in behalf of the Alumni of the University. ; Upperclassmen are being especially urged to attend as the exercises are by no means meant for the Freshmen alone. Although the keynote of the oc casion will be the greeting of the class of 1928, the three speakers are not ex pected to overlook the return of the other members of the student body. ; Contrary to precedent, the whole Uni versity will be represented Hereto fore It has been customary for the heads of the various schools on the campus to monopolize the event. This year, however, finds a departure from that custom, and the "Greater Univer sity", through the medium of the rep resentatives of the faculty, students and alumni will be the order of the day. ; The band will make its appearance and will furnish music for the occasion. at Wake Forest, N.

A., to turn away repeated requests for copies of the book during the past week. A smaller number of copies was ordered this year and the upperclassmen who have called by the office have found that this year's healthy crop of fresh men has exhausted the supply. ,. How- ever Mr. Comer announces that a new stock of the valuable little handbook is being made up and will soon be avail able. The Freshman Bible is issued at the beginning of each year by the "Y" as a help to the incoming new men. The 1921 edition is practically the same as that of last year in content and is bound In an attractive white cover with the well, monogram and date stamped on it in light blue. The editor of the book and his assistants have been receiving considerable praise for their excellent work.'". o. ':7;;;'' , The book is divided Into four sec tions. The first carries much necessary information and a welcoming letter from President H. W. Chase. The sec ond section is devoted to the Y. M. C. A., and its program for 1924-25 is out lined. , : Athletics is the title of the third part and it contains the records of last year's teams with their schedules for this year. There are also cuts of Captains Mat thews and Cobb along with one of the 1921 Freshman eleven. Several pages are devoted to intra-mural sports, and songs and yells conclude this depart ment.;' , The last book contains the names and a brief statement of the purpose of all organizations at the University. CAROLINA CLUB IS NOW MAKING RECORDS Charles Bordenhammer Joins Orches tra in New York as Pianist Charlie Bordenhammer, of Greensboro, left today for New York, where he will join the Carolina Club orchestra. It is reported that in the future Charlie will hammer the ivory keys for that now famous organization..; The club recently returned from a successful tour of Europe and is at present making several records for the Columbia Phonograph company. The or chestra stirred up considerable opposi tion in London when they attempted to land in order to fill an engagement at the Piccadilly hotel. Due to the vast number of men that are at present out of work in the British Isles the labor un ions did all in their power to keep the Carolina boys out, and it" was only through the efforts of Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, - who was aboard their ship, that they were finally admit ted. The club played for the Prince of Whales aboard the Berengaria on the trip home. While not made up entirely of Uni versity of North Carolina students, the majority of, the members are old resi dents of the Hill. They will leave shortly for another trip to the continent and will probably re-enter school after Christmas. ORDER OF DE MOLAY LATEST ARRIVAL Masonic Order to Come As Soon As Permission Is Granted Within the next few days, as soon as permission of the proper authorities is obtained, a new order will make its ap pearance at the Hill. The Order of De Molay is a national organization, and Its chapters are stead ily but rapidly increasing. It is in no sense a fraternity, and will not conflict with any other organization. It is an order for boys between the Ages of 16 and 21, sponsored by Masons and under Masonic supervision. There are in all probability between 78 and 100 boy In the University who are members of this order in different towns over the state. " . The order at first will be operated on the same basis as the Freshman Friend ship council. Later a chapter will be organized and degree work given. ' An announcement will be made In cha pel as to the time and place of the meet ing to be held soon. Any boys Inter ested in further Information can see Moulton Avery, 306 Grimes. As the paper goes to press no word has been received by the editors as to who it was died In heaven last week or as to whether or not the period of weep ing and mourning is yet finished. Judg ing, however) from the amount of weep ing done by the chief mourner, Mr. J. Pluvius, the editors state that they do not mind being quoted as saying, "that it is their firm belief that It wait either Jupiter or Juno who so recently went to their reward, if the recent wholesale shedding of tears can be taken to mean anything at all." - Regardless of what was the cause for the steady deluge which commenced be fore the opening of school and contin ued incessantly until yesterday, old timers In Chapel Hill say that it was one of the worst spells in recent years and the students are heartily In agree ment with them. The walks of the campus withstood the , steady rain far more successfully than usual and the work done during summer school In Improving them is not thought to have been In vain. But even at that, traffic conditions were by no means Ideal and wet and muddy feet were universally in vogue. The ground in front of :Gerrard Hall that became such a terrible mud hole during last year's "High School Week" was saved by the newly dug trench along Cameron Avenue. Tuesday the clouds began to break and before the afternoon the sun had complete possession of the azure spaces. The sun set fair 'last night and bespoke fair weather for today and tomorrow. PRESIDENT PLEAS FOR A UNITY OF UNDERSTANDING Makes Keynote Speech At First Senior Smoker of Class . of 1925 URGES COOPERATION AS FACTOR IN UNIVERSITY BUILDING Pleading for a greater unity of under standing, President Chase, in delivering the keynote speech at the first 1921 senior smoker Monday night, urged the seniors to acquire that consciousness of purpose and direction that makes for progress. The executive asked for a unity of un derstanding that goes deeper than hand shaking acquaintances, the understand ing of being men together, fighting side by side for the same purpose of produc ing a fairer and deeper knowledge of truth in the hearts of man. "The only way to build the best kind of University is through the conscious cooperation of students, faculty and alumni working together for the same purposes and ' reaching the same ends," stated Dr. Chase. Cleverly comparing the University of a hundred years ago with the University of today, he attacked the idea that the student body is grow ing too large. "The best size of a uni versity, I think, is between three and four thousand," said the President in disclaiming any alarm in the present size of the University. He explained that it was institutions of such size as this that a man could best assert himself as an individual. Bringing the case to the individual, Dr. Chase threw out the ques tion, "What one thing does the Univer sity need most?" He expressed a sin cere desire to see individuals in the class and in the student body thinking along this line. - . After the speech of Dr. Chase, R. Y. Thorpe, president of the class, acting as toastmaster, called upon Miss Lucy Lay to respond for the co-eds. Miss Lay in a few well chosen words expressed the loyalty and desire for service of the co-eds of the class. Reports from the retiring treasurer, F. S. Griffin, and the incoming treasurer, Clayton Hawfield, were heard under the head of business. Co-Eds Stage Smoker Last Saturday. Afternoon The Woman's Association of the Uni versity entertained in honor of the new women students on Saturday afernoon, September 20, from four to six, at Rus sell Inn. The hall and living room were attractively decorated with autumn flow ers. Receiving were Mrs. M. H. Stacy, dean of women students, Mrs. E. K. Johnson, and the officers of the asso ciation, Miss Kitty Lee Frazier, Miss Mildred Cherry, Miss Lucy Lay, Miss Norma Connell and Miss Mary Cal Hen ley. An Ice course was served.
