Carolina took its sixth consecutive de
feat In 'as many years from Yale last
Saturday wheiT the Bulldog carried off
a 27 to 0 bone of victory. Although
beaten, as predicted by all dbpesters,.the
Tar Heels gave old Eli a bard fight and
forced them to use their first string men
during most of the game. K- r
During all save the second quarter the
Yale eleven carried the fight to the Tar
Heels, but in this period ", the Carolina
machine took the ball into Bulldog ter
ritory and really outplayed their oppon
ents. -The first .Yale touchdown came
after seven minutesof .play when Spar
row's fumble of a punt was recovered
by the Bulldog center who ran 20 yards
- for a touchdown.. They scored -again
in this same period after a series of line
plays and forward passes-- The other
two touchdowns were scored one each in
'' the third and fourth quarters and came
as a result of sustained offensives, line
. plunges bringing the first, and end runs
the second. " ! - " v ;
Yale was far superior to the Tar Heels
in every department of the game. Caro
jjna gained most of their ground by
line plays, their end runs for the most
part being smothered,, while they were
; unable to complete a single pass. On
defense theBiue and White line showed
. up strong. They held the heavy Yale
backs well and averted a touchdown once
by holding for downs on the five-yard
-Jine. Carolina's backfield failed to come
up to the Standard of the line on de
fense, allowing-every attempted pass by
,, the northerners to be completed.
George Sparrow luade tiie longest-' rb
for the Tar Heels when he reeled off
faking a kick ' Jeff Fordham, Dill, and
Spratt Cobb all got . in the game in the
backfield besides the starting line-up.
... Several passes were tried with Cobb
doing the hurling, but all proved unsuc
cessful, Yale's defense being too strong.
In the line- Hogan, Whisnant, Farrell
and Robinson were given a chance. Whis
. nant relieved Chris Fordham and played
, ail of the last half, making a good show
ing. Jack Merritt got off several long
boots, his punting being on a par with
that offered by the Bulldog backs. ,
Mclver kicked off for Carolina. ; After
: a few minutes of play' during which
Yale had gained 20: yards they kicked
to Carolina. Unable to gain, Sparrow
kicked back. Yale returned the kick
and Sparrow's fumble was recovered by
the Bulldog center who ran 20 yards
for a touchdown. Yale elected to kick
and sent the ball to Devin. Carolina
kicked back and Yale started an offen
sive that ended in a touchdown. Cottle

SEVEN ATTENDED
BIBLE INSTITUTE
Bruce Curry Conducts Course
in Bible Study.
LASTED OVER WEEK END
Meredith, Peace and State Normal
. - " Have Delegates There.
Seven LTniversity men uttended ,the
Bible Institute that was conducted in
Raleigh during the past week, and last
ed from Friday, October 3, through Sun-
' day, October 5. The Institute was con
ducted by Bruce Curry, one of the great
est men in the country connected with
Bible study. Mr. Curry discussed two
wmes of Bible study, agreement and dis
agreement. He said that the Bible should
be studied with disagreement, because
by this method of study one fits the cogs
of the Bible with thexogs of one's own
life so it will show itself in action. The
-problem approach was presented by
. three p'si problems, principles and pro
gram. The idea is to get the problem,
then the principles from the Bible, both
positive, and negative, then a construc
tive progranTto- be carried out in each'
one's life. -
The following students of the Uni
versity attended the institute: W. W.
Gwyn, J. L, Smith, II. T. Thompson,
E. A. Farrell,- Frasier" Glenn, George
Stephens, Jr., and W. H. Coltrane. There
were also representatives from N. C.
State, Trinity, Wake Forest, Meredith,
N. C. C W. and Peace.

STAGES MEETING
The editorial board of the Caro
lina Magazine held its first meeting
Tuesday. night In the Y. M.'.G A.
and laid a nice big nest egg con-
-; tain ihg Its plans and ambitions for
the coming years. Editor J. Ed
ward Hawkins, of Raleigh," stated
in- emphatic terms that the Maga
zine was to be hampered by no edi
torial policy during the coming year.
- but that .it would strive to-fill the'
need on the campus of a real worth
while literary production. ' "
. He admonished the associate and
assistant editors to bestir themselves
and band together in the determina- -:
tion to put out the best magazine

NEW COURTS IN 1925
Play Three Colleges Before the Win
ter Sets in. ...
Varsity tennis is taking a headlong
plunge in its bid this year for the state
and southern championships. The com
petition among the candidates for tennis
honors has set a tremendous precedent
over that of any other year.
'At present there are about 25 men
out for the team, and tuny more are
expected to join the rush.
A new plan has been arranged for the
elimination of candidates. About 15 of
the best candidates 'will be picked from
the bunch and. these .will r'sy' li!hw
tion matches for. team positions. The
team will be composed of eight men
four of them to be from the bunch of
new men-and-the rest probably to be
those men who were on last year's varr
sity team."
; Next spring the 40 new tennis courts
will be in condition, and with the old
ones, the University will have 48 courts
open for -service. ;..'"',.''.' w.
Last year the tennis team,made a
most enviable record in the numerous
matches which they played. ; Soleman,
the captain for this year, and' Smith, of
the first doubles team, played Whitta
ker and Fuller, of the second doubles
team, for. the state championship title.
Soleman was runner-up for the state
title in singles, Price, of Davidson, beat
ing him out. .. '' ' '
In the southern tournament at At
lanta the two double teams syre elimi
nated in the final and semi-final matches
by Tulane university.
' Soleman was also runner-up for the
southern championship in singles, being
finally eliminated by Murray, of Tulane.
; The prospects for 1924 tennis are look
ing brighter than ever before. Most of
the matches, it is thought, will be play
ed away from Chapel Hill. The com
plete list of matches has not been issued
as yet, but those games tentatively ar
ranged are:
October 10 Greensboro Country club.
Octobr 17 Wake Forest.
November 14 Davidson.
November 26 University of Virginia.
Student Moves Out On
Fire Escape In Vance
An absolutely new departure has been
made in the matter of securing rooming
accommodations. A member of the stu
dent "Body, whose name does not appear
startled all beholders one morning re
cently when the cold, cruel light of day
revealed that he had taken up his quar
ters" on the fire escape in Vance dormitory.-
". " .
In spite of his best efforts, however,
his quarters appeared to lack many of
the comorts of a house. A bed, a trunk
and one feeble little electric light adorn
ed this poor semblance of a home. " The
light still burned on long after the. calm,
peaceful Sabbath sun had risen, but the
occupant was nowhere to be seen.
The reason for this startling innova
tion has not come to light, so far. Per
haps it will remain one of the great mys
teries; perhaps morewill be learned of
the fate of this luckless freshman who
was forced to leave his room in the dead
of night and take refuge with the fowls
of the air. ' - ' " .

FRESHMEN LOOK GOOD
Season Opens Friday With Game on
Emerson Field Between Bing
ham and Frosh. - .
Last Friday afternoon Emerson field
saw. a snappy exhibition of football be
tween the" freshman team and the var
sity scrubs the scrubs coming off the
field with the big end of a 13 to 0 score.
" For a team which has had only a week
of hard practice, and knowingonly" a
few signals as yet, the freshmen played
unusually " well. There were numerous
substitutions, v In fact, when the game
ended both teams had a comparatively
new line-up, except for Bunn Hackney,
scrub quarterback. - ' -
Isor," freshman back, showed up unr
usually well on offensive playing mak
ing several large gains on end runs.
' The scrubs' first touchdown occurred
in the first quarter when they took the
ball for nearly half the length of the
field, making their gains mostly on end
runs. The second downfall of the fresh
men wasthe result of a forward pass on
the part of the scrubs, netting them a
30-yard gain, and only a few yards to
go for a touchdown, which they made
on the third down around end and kick
ed goal. '
The freshmen uncovered their aerial
attack five times, : three of them suc
ceeding for fairly 'large gains.. No man
on the freshman squad is sure of his
place ' as . yet. Itis too early in the
season to tell. ; Those who started off
in the freshman line-up were Isor, Shep

TAR HEEL SCRIBE ON JOB
Miss Draper Declares That Her Work
Makes High Demand on the In- ,
v telligence of the Audience.
By Lccy F. Lay
"My work makes the highest possi
ble demand on the imagination of an
audience seeking '. entertainment. The
audience always reflects the credit on
me but it is really their ability and con
centration which makes them feel the
characters which I portray."
Miss Ruth Draper stood on the lit
tle platform in the classroom in Murphy
and spoke to the members of the play
production class of dramatic -art and of
hei-work for almost an hour."' Slim and
straight dressed in a simple black tail
ored suit and hat, lightened by a blouse
of vivid orange, she talked freely and
enthusiastically about her work. She
- j - j
Insisted that the greatest acting comes
from deep "thinking with the mind, the
heart and the emotions. .
"I never mimic j I am a character that
nam portraying. Sometimes I feel the
person so . deeply that I have to jerk
myself out of.-the characterization before
r go too-far. My "sketches have rarely
been taken from real incidents or from
suggestions. They have come out of
my mind, the result of indirect observa
tion. ; Out of 30 or 35 sketches, only
four or five can be called the results of
direct observation. A visit to Ellis Is
land suggested the Scotch immigrant,
and the Irish sketch which I use was
suggested by a peasant I once saw while
bicycling through Ireland several years
ago. Sometimes I have written things
and then put them away for years be
cause I jdid not feel that the actor had
been born." . - '
- Miss Draper spoke of her feeling that
words hindered the complete and abso
lutely free expression of the emotions.
She invented for herself a kind of lan
guage which means absolutely nothing
"It's just a series of sounds," she ex
plained, "but those sounds one minute
express -my anger, then my pity or my
sorrow. The infinite power of the sound
of the human voice, regardless of the
words, the Intellectual meaningran be
utUized here." The sqund language help
to make the voice flexible and to enable
one t? pour out feeling without having
to think of. the words and the sense of
the-thought.
Slipping off her coat and quickly roll
inir it into a bundle, she moved to the
center of the little platform and in a
second's time an Italian peasant mother

skirts. Crooning a folk lullaby in the

Cheer Leader. Huggins Urges
Cooperation of All Classes. .
THE LEADERS UNIFORMED
Pep Meetings Will Be Fewer in Num
ber and Much More Spicy.
New songs and yells have been an
nounced for the Trinity football game
here Saturday afternoon, according to
announcement by L. V. Huggins, Uni
versity cheer leader, who expects, all
students to know these songs and yells
by next Saturday afternoon.
Huggins is making great efforts to
give Carolina some peppy cheering this
year, and he has been working hard to
formulate a cheering program for the
present year. : '
Not as many pep meetings as In the
past will be held this year, Huggins
states, but the pep - meetings that are
held -will be more elaborate affairs than
those of recent years. One of the most
unique features of the first pep meeting
of the year, before the Wake Forest
game,' was the attendance of President
Chase, who made an address to the foot
ball team supporters.
Huggins also plans this year to have
a special co-eds cheering section, and
asks that the co-eds learn all University
songs and yells. . - ,
Official uniforms for the cheer leaders
have been ordered by Graduate Manager
C. T. Woollen.' The pep "stimulators"
will wear white sweaters and white duck
trousers, with "blue trimmings," result
ing in a blend of blue and white, the
University colors.
The new yells and the University song
composed last spring ' are printed on

SHAKING SEASON
First Grail Dance to Take Place
" Next Saturday Night in ,
Bynum Gymnasium.
NIGHT OF TRINITY GAME
Piedmont Strollers of Durham Will
' Furnish Sweet Strains of Music
Until the Clock Strikes 12.
The dance committee of the Order of
the Grail is bus making final arrange
ments for the first dance of the order
this year, which will be given in Bynum
gymnasium Saturday night. The com
mittee in charge is striving to make this
dance an unusual success, since the stu
dent body will more or less judge Grail
dances by this Initial one.
Realizing that much of the success of
a dance depends upon the music, Gordon
Weeks, of the dance committee,' has
booked the Piedmont Strollers of Dur
ham to play for the dance. -Publicity
for the dance has been put under way
by the Grail and it is expected that, a
large number of girls from out of town
will attend the affair. Especially are
visiting ' girls expected In light of the
fact that the Trinity game will be played
on Emerson field in the afternoon. Al
ready numbers of boys have invited girls
down for the week-end and it 'Ifl ex-,
pected that a good number will be pres
ent. : . ';
; Since , this dance is to be the first of
the year it will afford students the op
portunity of meeting the new co-eds who
have chosen to take work at the Uni
versity. Many boys are looking forward
to the dance as a means of becoming
acquainted with Chapel Hill's own, as
well as meeting some of the visiting
girls.. ' . ..
Dancing will begin at 9 and will con
tinue till the midnight hour ushers hi
the Sabbath day. .
THE BUCCANEER
COMES OUT IN
VERDANT COLOR
Initial Number of Carolina's
College Comic Launched'
Upon Campus.
ISSUE IS THE BEST YET
Work of the Art Staff is a Very Strik
ing Feature of the Fresh
" man Number.
By The Crossroads
"Tke Tar Baby got stuck and Th
Boll Weevil was exterminated; but the
Buccaneer is not going to walk the
plank.". Business Manager Gold Is re
sponsible for this optimism j whether or
not he Is right remains to be seen.
With the Verdant number, Carolina's
pirate crew has launched its craft for
its first long voyage. The trial cruise
of last year proved successful to a grati
fying extent. This year the Buccaneer
will wander alone on the high-seas of
humor with the hope of later joining
the fleet and swapping the Jolly Roger
for the . standard of the Publications
Union. . '
The first number this vear strikes lis
as being in every way the best Bucca
neer which has yet appeared. It is only
reasonable to assume that improvement
will take place throughout' the year) if
the assumption proves correct, Carolina
will shortly have a comic which will do
her due credit. ' ' "
The" cover is the first thing that calls
for attention; ergo, the cover Is excep
tionally good. It Is appropriate and
possesses life without feminine anatomy
rare achievement. 1 . v
The content is varied and original ;
there is a pleasing lack of the stuff so
often prominent In college comics as
merely filling. Most of the material Is
snort ana there are some genuine laughs.
.. .1 11 rr. D . .
every iiuw aiiu itieii. 111c UMCcancer is
to be congratulated on its' staff of art
ists; the issue is full of good cuts. Aside
from the usual cartoons, there is an
especially!, good double spread" and a
full page portrait study. It is a cer
tain thing that the cuts determine the
quality of a college comic, and if the
Buccaneer maintains the standard . of
art work evident in the first number It
will fll whflf flAB bppn in hlnff vnld
at Carolina. . ' - .
All of the work is from University
students; no exchanges are used. This,
too, is deserving of compliment, and Is
a rather, notable departure from our
former humorous publications. On the
whole the Verdant Number creates
favorable impression and we know that
we voice the sentiment of a long-suffer
ing study body in hoping that it will
continue to do so.
