The Tar Babies encaged in a real scrimage for the first time on Tuesday with much vim and pep.

" j At the present time there are about 85 men on the squad, which is about approximately 20 more than were on the squad at this time last year. The coaches are going to have a very diffi cult task in deciding on the players that will be in the regular line-up.

The 'coaches state that hard practice ir the order of events from now on and that they will send for their proteges through a scrimasre every day. By the time the. whistle blows for the opening of the first game they expect to have well-balanced and aggressive eleven on the gridiron.

"We are not the same that our fathers have been," the speaker declared. "The world is changing rapidly. And I some times wonder if as many changes can take place in government, in science, in society in the next 25 years as have occurred in the last generation." Dr. Patterson mentioned two duties that confronted the members othe class, "Your first duty, as your president has explained, is to get acquainted with your class and weld the class together both for your own sakes and for the sake of the University. Then after graduation you must look to the future. Be for ward-looking men. Catch the spirit of progress and keep the pace. I do not mean that you must be Babbits. We as a State are ahead in many things, but In many others we are lamentably be hind in music, art, literature, and libra ries, and in most of the finer things of life." -- The speaker - mentioned one shadow that hangs over us.

Any student interested in trying for the Cecil Rhodes Oxford Scholarship, for which Carolina is allowed five candidates, should see Mr. Hibbard, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at once. . Candidates are elected this year for the Scholarship which begins in 1926. The state of North Carolina is al lowed two of these scholarships. As they may be held for three years there is one year In every three during which no election is held. On each of the other two years one of the Scholarships is filled if a suitable candidate applies, These scholarships are given through a fund left by the late Cecil Rhodes, English multi-milionaire who played such a great part in the development of South Africa. They carry ordinarily a stipend of about 300 pounds or $1,500 per year, but until further notice they will also carry a bonus of SO pounds, Even with thk added sum, however, the total is not sufficient to meet the increase in prices and all candidates are warned that they will need in addition approx imately $250 per year while at Oxford. Colleges and Universities are allowed a number of candidates proportionate to the size of their student body. Carolina leads the state of North Carolna with an allowance of five. All applications must be In the hands of. the Secretary of the State Committee for Selection - not later than October 17th. The Secretary for North Carolina is H. S. Hilley, President of the Atantlc Christian Col lege of Wilson, N. C, Men applying from Carolina must first, however, turn their applications in to Mr. Hibbard on or before October 7th. The selection is' based on. three main bases. These are: (1) Literary and scholastic ability and attainments; (2) qualities of manhood, force of character, and leadership; (3) and physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. ' Excellence in all three of these departments.1 is desired, but in lieu of such an ideal combination character, personality, and intellect are ( Continued on page four) FOOTBALL SQUAD IS PREPARING FOR GAMECOCK GAME The Next Encounter Will Take Place in Columbia Satur N ' day "Afternoon. HARD SCHEDULE AHEAD Following Five Games Will b Played on Enemy Territory Last - Two Games Here. The Wake Forest game is gone, and the defeat is written down in the Tar Heel athletic history. The big Idea be fore the , coaches and the men on the squad now is to wipe out the memory of last Saturday's 6 to 0 setback by a series of victories over the other teams on the schedule. The team came through the curtain raiser with no major injuries to the play ers, and settled down Immediately to hard practice preparatory to the game with the South Carolina Gamecocks at Columbia, S. C, next Saturday. The Gamecocks won last year's contest on Emerson Field by the score of 10 and 7, and they have practically the same team back this season that wore the Garnet and Black in 1921. Their only major losswas the-graduation of Frankie Mey er, one of the fastest ends in Southern football for several years. The Fetzerites however have a double Incentive to Urge them on when they in vade the Gamecock nest. They are faced with the proposition of avenging last year's defeat by the South Carolinians and also to erase the memory of the Baptist game of last Saturday. . Following the South Carolina game the Tar Heels will get into the midst of a schedule that would try the strength Of any team.' Five straight contests on enemy fields will come during) the latter part of October and the first of No vember. Duke at Durham on Satur day, October 10, and N. C. State at Raleigh on Thursday, October 15, are two hard games within five days. Then comes aMryland at College Park on Oc tober 24, Mercer at Macon, Ga., on Octo ber 31, and V. M. I. at Richmond on November 7. ' Following these games on (the road the Tar Heels return to the "Hill" to make their last stand against Davidson's Wildcat crew on November 14 before they settle down to the grind of preparation for the Cavaliers on Thanksgiving Day. , JUNIOR SMOKER Id lUf A 1717 A ID Record Attendance for First Meeting . of Year.

The Class of 1927 pulled one of the biggest smokers in the history of the University at Swain Hall on Tuesday night at nine o'clock. With a record attendance for the first class meeting of the year, the juniors Initiated their third year as Carolina men with a crash and a slam. -- Bob Sides, president of the class, started things off with a speech of wel come to the men and women (yes, there- were representatives from the new Woman's Building present too) . and closed his speech by introducing the speaker of the evening, Dr. ; H. W. Chase. . . The juniors are rather proud of the coup-d'etat that they pulled over the seniors, when they got ahead of the near-graduates and obtained President Chase as their main speaker. Dr. Chase spoke for several minutes on the past record of the Class of '27 and of its possibilities for the future. "You were sophomores," he said, "but that is too far in the pre-historic past to mention." He also told the class that the last two years' of a college course are worth ten times as much to a man as are the first two. , "The junior class has the advantage over every class on the campus," he said. "You have gained that advan tage over the two lower 'classes by your achievements, and you bold the advantage over the higher seniors be cause you do not have to worry every time you wake up in the night over the proposition that will face you when you graduate and go . out in the cold cruel world. That is . too far in the future to bother you." Dr. Chase closed his speech by urg ing the members of the class to take a greater part in the university actlvi- . ties. "A large majority of the suc cessful alumni of the University are men who when they were under-grad- uates took a part in the extra-curriculum activities." (Continued on page four)
