C, Sat urday, and won the' game by the score of 7 to 0. A punt in the last five min utes of play in the first period blocked by a Tar Heel and covered by a mem ber of the same crew tells the story. George Robinson did the blocking, and a merry scramble took place over the oal which had rolled behind the Gamecocks' goal line. The referee dashed in and found a blu jersey covering the ball. George Sparrow put his trusty toe be hind the ball and sent it over the bar for the extra point. The score was 7 to 0 and when the final whistle blew it was the same way. , ; It was a hectic, hard-fought game throughout. :: The South' Carolinians, ap peared to have the edge on their northern brethren. The Gamecocks registered nine "nst 4owns to the Tar Heels' five. At the end of the first half the. Gamecocks had five first downs to one for the Tar ' Heels. South Carolina threatened to score iust before the end of the first half. The ball was carried to the shadow of the coveted goal post by a series of drives by the Gamecocks. The ball rested on the Tar Heels' 10-yard line. An at- tempted pass , lost five yards, and the whistle blew for the end of tluTfirst half. The home team started two forward 'passing attacks in the third and fourth periods, and In the fourth period car ried the pigskin into the1 Tar Heels' ter ritory, but a fumble proved costly and the Fetzeritesvjrot the ball.

THE TEST FOR TRUTH Discusses Proofs A Applied by Seek- ' ers of Truth. ; Dean A. H. Patterson delivered the second of a series of talks on Religion and Science In the Chapel of the Cross Sunday night. The topic of this second lecture mi$ht be given as The Tett for Truth. The original test for trutn.Mr. Patterson declared, was the evidence of the five senses which 1 has many times been proved faulty by the laws of per spective as well as by feats of conjuring and magic in which rabbits apparently materialize from hats. The Greeks test ed truth entirely by the intellect but, as In the notable case of Hegel who abso lutely proved that there could be no planet between Jupiter and the sun only a short time before such a planet was discovered, this test is not always accu rate. , Dr. Patterson continued this enumeration of tests with a discussion of scriptural proofs as applied by seekers of the truth; "There are four theories as to how the Bible was written," said Dr. Patterson, "The dictative theory held by" strict fundamentalists who assert that God dictated it word for word to a stenographer? the narrative theory which is that .He told certain people what to write, the illuminative theory of divineJ inspiration and the theory that the Bible was not inspired in any way." At the time when the Bible was regarded as the final test for truth the first theory was most popular and it was considered , sacrilege to question any statement it made. V Then the study of science commenced to grow and when scientific tests were applied to various matters -the results differed with biblical evidence.. Dr. Pat terson briefly discussed the clash of church and science over such questions ' as whether Joshua coufd have made the sun stand still and" whether a. rabbit ' chews its cud, These questions and oth V "ers of their kind, he asserted, make peo ple fear that if they Incline to the scien tific view point they are being unfaithful to their relieion. althouffh very few peo pie could, tell exactly what their religion consisted of. At the conclusion of His remarks he asked if there were any ques ' tinno. hut irnf- nn resnonse. i A third j talk carrying the same .subject still far ther will be given next Sunday.

With thirteen new, members taken in, !i fairly good attendance, and spirited discussion of bills presented, the Phi Assembly made a good start for the coming year in its meeting of Saturday night. . In his brief inaugural address, Speak er W. T. Couch declared that with the present situation of 20 per cent of the student body running campus, politics, while the other 80 per cent blindly fol lowed, it was up to the Phi Assembly to play its part in the breaking up of such an undemocratic system. "We, as , col lege men,, thinking men, have problems to work out 'for ourselves," he added, and closed with the statement that every member pf the Phi owed it to himself to wake up, take an interest in ; campus problems, and help; thrash, them out in the regular sessions of the Assembly, The main topic up for discussion Sat urday night was, "Resolved, ; that it is the sense of the Phi Assembly that each University class, and progressive school cthpnt hodv. should . be housed as a a-roup in a separate dormitory or dor mitory section; provided that this should not apply to studepts residing in fra ternity houses." supporting me resolu tion, Chapell and Owens advanced strong arguments in its favor; which were countered by Clenimons, Noe, and Olive. After spirited discussion the resolution Was tabled until next Saturday night, for further debate. A rtew spirit of activity and interest has pervaded the Phi meetings this year; and from appearances, a promising year will follow, both in the work of the As sembly proper and in the debates fos tered by it through the year. The thirteen new men initiated Sat urday nieht were as follows: C. A. Dees, J. A. Morgan, D. G. Hart, Llod Moore, S. D. Thorpe, R. H. Rouse, H. A. Morse; J. E. Coggins, S. A, Garriss, H. N. Henry, Bryan Grimes, A.' B. Couch, and W. F. Smith. EXTENSION DIVISION ORGANIZES CLASSES Classes Begun In Several Uties Throughout the State Other , Classes in Process.

We wish to knowwho brought letters to Greece, who founded Rome, who first set foot on American soil, who discovered oxygen, who kicked the first football, and so on. Thus writes the late Dr.Kemp P. Battle in his history of the University of North Carolina, by way of introduc ing the first student to reach the Uni versity when it was reopened after the Civil War. One hundred arid thirty years' ago Hin- ton James, of Wilmington, 'gained im mortal fame by being the first to trudge throuirh the muddy roads of the winter of 1795, and presenting himself to the first presiding professor, just exactly four weeks after the session began. The honor of being the first to arrive in Chapel Hill in 1875 the year of the reopeninc after the war happens to be a tnan who, barring unforeseen circum stances, will be here on Monday, Octo ber 12, to help celebrate the 50th anni- of that reonenine. The man is Judge Francis Donnell Winston of Bertie county. ' ' -.' ' ' ' " ' Raced for First Honor , Francis Winston and younger Brother, Robert, raced for the honor of being the first to reach the University campus on that day. They beat all other can reached the boundary line of Chapel Hill at the hamlet of Couchtown, the hilltop on the Durham road; "the elder Winston suddenly leaped from the vehicle and dashed forward with thejimasing speed for which duck-legged youths are often famous, shouting, 'Hurrah I I am the first student on the HiUT He reversed the history of Esau and Jacob. Esau WAR ahead this time. The unsuspecting Jacob (Hebrew for: Robert) had no s tn nffrr his mess of nottace. It was this same long-headed, if short-leg ged, youth who later werit to the Legis lature, with about 1,000 majority against SIlNhAY CONCERT GREATLY ENJOYED Mr, and Mrs. McCorkle and P. J.. Weaver Take Part. ; DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Between 300 and 400 People Attend Musicale Sponsored by Department ' A most enjoyable concert was present ed by the University Department of Music in Memorial Hall Sunday after noon. Those taking part were T. Smith McCorkle. a recent addition to the Music faculty and a violinist of exceptional ability, his wife, Lilita W. McCorkle, who accompanied him, and Paul John Weaver who rendered a series of short compositions, by Schumann with his usual skill. Mr. McCorkle gave five well chosen ited selections, openinsr with Ballade and Polonaise by Vieuxtemps .filJ a stirrinsr. almost martial air wun a strongly stressed refrain, which at the outset showed the audience what per fect control he had of his instrument. He followed this with the Pierrot Sere nade by Randegger, a delicate bit of melody, the effectiveness of which was made more complete by a throbbing un- der-tone of melancholy. , Rondino by Kreisler called into play many startling flights" of instrumental Imagery and ex hibited a sustained and dominating melo dy which is characteristic of the compo sitions of this master violinist. The Serenade Etpagnol by Chaminade was very 'well received. Its colorful verve and dash and the rich atmosphere of J Spain with, which Mr. McCorkle expert ly imbued it made .it quite a popular number. His closing selection was Hejre Kati by Hubay. This strange, exotic harmony was at first marked with a peculiar oriental motif which gradually worked to. an emotional climax. Mr. Mc Corkle handled this climax with superb technique. , i Paul John Weaver greatly pleased the audience with his rendition of Fantaty Pieeet, a whimsical yet difficult suite of melodious well suited to his . talents Probably the most noteworthyNf these nieces were In the Evening and Soaring The former was a dainty, ethereal .tune which required a discriminating touch to round out its soft beauty; the latter was the most complicated and vigorous of the set, involving a massed series of crashing chords. The concert was attended by between 300 and 400 people. Now. ' his party, intent on looking out for the interests of his rama Mater. The youth, Robert, thus outgeneraled, was to get his revenge, and it was a sig-. nal and cruel revenge. After great searching of heart he devised his scheme' and bided his time. Frank's Nemesis came when there appeared to receive the silver cud- for the first boy baby of the Class of 1879 James Horner Winston, son of Rdbert. ' Dr. Battle records that the R-ood old cftunty of Bertie won another honor on that day. When the University opened one youth 'only entered the agricultural department. He was Charles Bond, who had accompanied the Winston brothers to Chapel Hill. - Fifty Years. Pass " It Is an even 50 years since that date. The interval has wrought great changes. The University of 1875 opened with 69 students. The University of 1925 opened with 2200. i The two brothers who raced to Chapel Hill in 1875 are here in 1925. They might let history repeat itself and race back for the semi-centennial cele bration. But that is out of the question. Robert Winston is already here a student again at the age of 64, a senior In rank Since the days of 1675 he has been a judge and lawyer of prominence, and of late has turned to magazine writing. Francis D. has been judge, lieutenant- governor, and state senator. Of late Jiis chief enjoyment has come from looking after ,the interests of his native Bertie and beloved Alma Mater. ' And so It was that the University got off to a start in 1875. The matriculates numbered 69. but of those who followed the full four years to graduation day there were only 12. They were Kemp Plummer Battle, Jr., Richard B. Hender son, William Lanier HIIL James Smith Manninar. John Moore Manning, William Joseph Peele. Alva Connell Springs, Rob ert Strange, Francis Donnell Winston, Robert Watson Winston, Isac Mon trose Taylor, Gaston Ahi Robbins. These men have done well in life, and most of them are now living..

CLUB Reconciliation of Town and ; Country Interests, Subject. LEADERSHIP' ES, S ENTIAL Club Will Devote Itself to This Prob lem During the Year. "Town and country, antagonism is here and it is a thing to be reckoned with," said Mr. Edgar T Thompson in a talk on "The Reconciliation of Town and Country Interests" delivered before the North Carolina Club Monday night. "The points of friction appear more damaging in view of the larger results which might be had if more harmony were obtained." Mr. Thompson then' went on to say that the most obvious solution of this problem would be to stress the bases of co-operation between town and country such as low freight rates, improved roads, main tenance of schools and better farming. The underlying causes of this conflict, according to the speaker, are the fact that the town incorporates and sets it self apart from the country, the feeling of social subordination and the idea that town merchants and bankers are com bined to exploit the farmers. . To make a complete and prosperous community these differences and false conceptions must be swept aside. "It is certain that there will be no solution without volunteer and profes sional leadership," declared Mr. Thomp son. "Leadership is an essenuai m una matter of town and country integration. He then mentioned the minister, the ag ricultural teacher in public schools, the local physician, the county agent, and the editor of a rural paper as some whose professional duties put them in a posi tion to aid in creating a community con sciousness and a willingness to assume complete local responsibility. V Mr. Thompson concluded by saying that the North Carolina club would de vote itself during the college year to the consideration of this problem as well as the means to do away with it. I Here are many aspects of the question which need review so that we may be many- sided in our appreciation," stated Mr. Thompson. "Some of these include ways of promoting race co-operation, the effort to get tne community iu cc mi"';:- ness as a danirer to local stability and a knowledge of specific community pro grams." These aspects of the question will be takei up at various meetings of the lub tlfpughout the year. WRESTLING PROSPECTS HAVE FIRST MEETING Sixty Candidates Come Out Waters and Pipkin Make Talks Plans ' p ' For Coach Tentative. Training for the wrestling squad open ed with a meeting of ail candidates for the t team last Tuesday night in Cerrard hall. About 60 prospective grapplers were present, thus giving cone rete evidence of the interest in the sport on the campus. Short talks in which the proposed policy for the year was outlined were made, by Zack Waters, captain of the squad, and Benton Pipkin, manager for this year. . It was stated that as yet plans in regard to a coach were tentative, but that it was felt sure one would be se cured in ample time provided the stu dents continued to manifest in the sport the lively interest exhibited that night. -( Continued on page four) CAMPUS LEADERS CLUB HAS FIRST MEETING AT INN University Officials and Cam pus Leaders Make Talks -and Work Out Plans. ACTS AS CLEARING HOUSE Meetings Are Held Four to Ten Time a Year to Discuss Student ; Activities. . The club of the Campus Leaders held its first supper and meeting of the year in the Carolina Inn Monday night from 7:00 until 8:30 o'clock. The Presiding officer of the club and President of the Student Body, Jeff Fordham, made the ' opening address of welcome. In his address Mr. Fordham outlined the plans of the club for the coming year and urged the members to support him in carrying them out. , Dean Bradshiw fol lowed Mr. Fordham and substantiated his remarks. Dean Bradshaw said in parti "This' is the third year, since the clubs inception; its activities ' have so far been felt and lappreciated by the ma jority of the students. But the mem bers of this council for this year know and understand one and another. All of you have the interest of the Unlver- . sity at heart, and therefore the workings of the club should affect in a beneficial way every student in th'e University of North Carolina." ; i ; .
