Thomas, Virginia's fresh man coach, left for Chapel Hill yester day In a special car with his players, and expects to close the 1924 season with a victory. Rushion, Rutter, Cardwell and McCafferty seem to be his four favorite backfleld men and will probably start the game. Rushion is an excellent broken-field runner, deadly passer, and con sistent drop kicker. ' The Tar Babies will probably begin with the same line-up that held the State college Whelps to a 7-7 tie here last Saturday. However, it is claimed by some who have been following practice this week that the coaches will make a number of changes in an effort to bolster up both the offensive and defensive de partments, In an effort to cope with the unusually strong team that is coming down from Virginia. . The freshman teams of Washington and Lee, Virginia Military institute, Uni versity of Maryland, and Virginia Poly technic institute have all been soundly defeated by the Virginia Frosh. Under the new" ruling of "the Southern confer ence only five games are allowed fresh man teams and today's contest ends their season. -. The Tar Babies have not suffered de feat this year, although they came near to tasting of. the bitter waters last Sat urday against State colege's freshman crew. The game this afternoon makes the fourth played by Carolina and next week the little Tar Heels travel up to College Park and play with the Terra pin Froshes.. . ' .

CONNOR SPEAKS TO SENIOR CLASS Makes Plea for Trained Leader ship in the State.. D R E A M ERS NECESSARY "After All the Idealist Rules the , World," He Declares. "If there is one thing that the state needs today it is trained leadership," stated Dr. R. D. W. Connor to the sen ior class Thursday night at the second smoker of the class this year. Dr. Connor made a plea for students to enter the field of public service and give the state the benefit of their ac quired training. "The state is training you men and women to take up the bur dens of leadership," said the professor. .."There are two types of leaders. First there are the dreamers of the world. Every big thing we do in the world is the result of a dream. The second type of leader is the man who makes reality of the dreamer's ideas. He is the man who supplements the work of the dream er with action,'? By way of illustration, Dr. Connor pictured the educational situation in North Carolina a quarter century ago. Some very interesting and informative figures were cited to make more vivid the degree of progress the state has made in educational lines. In 1900 the state of North Carolina spent $950,000 for its public schools, while in 1922 $22, 000,000 were spent In 1900 approxi mately 400,000 children were enrolled In the public schools of the state, .while far 1922 there were 750,000 children in school, an increase of almost double. In 1900 the average public school was ope rated for 73 days out of the year, while in 1922 the average was 141 days. In 1900 there were 30 high schools in the state, while In 1922 there were 475 high schools within the state borders. In 1900 the state appropriated for all its insti tutions of higher -learning only $75,000, while a quarter century later the state appropriated in a single year $1,365,000. The speaker called attention to the progress the state has made along all lines, the evidence, he suggested, that the increased expenditures for schools, roads, etc, has paid the taxpayers. "The dream of Charles B. Aycock put into operation by thousands of men of the second type of leaders, has brought about the marvelous change in the state. It's the idealist after all that runs the world. So young men and women, dream and do not let mockery and laughs dis courage your ideals." - Preceding the speech of Dr. Connor a message was heard from Mr. John Um stead, who in a few well chosen words presented to the class the insurance fund idea which was recently adopted by the Central Alumni council. Under the head of class business a dis cussion was heard on the commencement programs, and samples were passed around for Inspection by the members. F. S. Griffin, chairman of the execu tive committee, announced the appoint ment of the executive and finance com mittees of the class. The smoker, .which was held in the Carolina cafeteria, was pronounced an enjoyable affair, although only a rela tively small number of the members of the class were present. Dick Thorpe, president, presided at the smoker.

HICCOUGH EPIDEMIC STRIKES UNIVERSITY Five Students Go to Infirmary With Violent Cases of the Great . American Disease. Chapel Hill is. keeping pace with the Metropolis in more ways than one. Hear ing that New York is having an epi demic of "hiccoughs," with hospitals treating hundreds daily, the University infirmary has come up to toe the mark with five cases. Only one is now in the infirmary. The victims were seized with hiccough ing so continually and violently that in one case four injections of morphine were necessary. In some of the cases in New York, the World states that gas was adminis tered without definite relief. The doc tors seem unable to classify the cause for the condition, which Is contraction of the muscles of the diaphragm. ' Some consider it the beginning of a case of sleeping sickness, while others consider it merely a form of influenza.

Scientific Society Held 275th Meeting At the meeting of the Ellsha Mitchell Scientific society Tuesday night in Phil lips hall, James M. Bell, professor of chemistry, read a paper on "Electro metric Methods of Chemical Analysis." The subject of D. A. McPherson's paper was "The Relation of Hydrogen Ions to Bacteriology and Public Health." This was the 275th meeting of the society.

PASSES RUINE D STATE Techmen Were Lost in Bewil dering Overhead Charge N. C. Coached to Combat It. MERRITT EXPECTED TO REPEAT Light Line Should Fall Easy Victim to Fulback But the Wildcats Fre quently Do the Unexpected. Davidson, with a possible chance at the state championship within their grasp and with their record of no defeats on Richardson field for 12 years, will give the Fetzers Tar. Heels the fight of their lives this afternoon before they concede them a victory. Coach Younger has developed a fight ing team at Davidson, that despite the fact that It is generally outweighed 15 or 20 pounds to the man, has been able to do through the season with only one defeat and that by the strong Furman team, conquerors of the University of South Carolina. Davidson and Wake Forest are the only state teams that have not been defeated by a North Caro lina eleven and as Davidson does not play the Deacon team, they will in all probability tie for the state champion ship if the Wildcats can overcome Cap tain Matthews and his crew. If the De mons should meet defeat at the hands of State college it would then give the Wildcats possession of the state title. The Davidson crew were enabled to tie State college by the use of the forward pass and appear to have a particularly strong aerial offensive. It Is in prepara tion for this that the Fetzers have been drilling the Tar Heels during the past week. V. M. I. and Its heralded air attack was not allowed to complete but one pass out of the eight attempted, while three were intercepted. Caro lina with this week's training along this line should be able to successfully cope with the offerings of the Younger eleven. The Wildcat line will have its mettle tested when Jack Merritt tries his rug ged strength against it With the ad vantage of 15 pounds in the lme ahead and the "human battering ram" behind to carry the ball, . Carolina should be able to gain almost ot will through the lighter Davidson team. That, however, remains to be seen. Carolina will enter the fray In fair shape. The team came through the hard V. M. I. struggle with no serious in juries. Mclver, who was taken from the game, has recovered and will In all prob ability play this afternoon. Hogan and Robinson, who for the first time played an entire game, may again be given the call. Their work was of varsity ' calibre and the line appeared to be stronger than it was against South Caro lina. Sparrow Is recovering, but it is doubtful if he will play. Devin will again probably start at quarterback. The probable line-up: Davidton Carolina Pinkney ..; Braswell R. E. Anderson Hogan R. T. Fordham R. G. Mclver Boggs McConnell C. . . .... Robinson L. G.
