Raleigh Today for
Clash
WELL MATCHED
Carolinians Seem to Have Edge
On State Collegians.
BONNER AND DEVIN BOTH OUT
Hillians Have Won Four of Six Games
Since Renewal' of Athletic Re
lations in 1916.
The Tar Heels will meet the Techmen
this afternoon on Riddick Field in what
promise's to be one of the most closely
fought contests of the season.
The team ran out on Hanes Field at
two minutes before three last Saturday
afternoon, and after running out on the
field they ran and ran, and then ran
some more, over and around the Blue
Devils, running up a total mileage of
umpty-ump miles; and in the process of
their, journeys certain players wearing
Carolina colors crossed the Duke goal
line Ave times, which with some fine toe-
work by George Sparrow gave Carolina
a 41 to 0 win over the Methodists. This
victory did more than just adding one
game more or less to the Tar Heels'
record for the season. It restored the
waning confidence of the University stu
dents anci alumni, and now the team
faces the remainder of its schedule with
a united following behind it.
The team returned to the "HUT jubi
lant over its success, but it did not be
come intoxicated with the "dope" that
spilled out over the West Durham field
when the Tar Heel backs busted the
"dope pot" with their hard drives
through and around the Blue Devil line.
The Fetzers do not encourage over-con
fidence in their men, and they started
driving the squad as hard on Monday as
if they had lost the Saturday's encoun
ter. The coaches know and the team
knows that it will not be Duke that they
face in their next contest.
The N. C. State Wolfpack will furnish
plenty of opposition for the Fetzerites
when the Tar Heels and Techmen meet
on Riddick Field at Raleigh this
afternoon in the seventh annual contest
between the two state-supported institu
tions since the renewal of athletic rela
tions in 1919.
The Carolina outfit wil go into the
contest with the edge on the Techmen
as far as past record goes. Of the six
games gone before the Hillians have
won four, while the Wolfpack' has won
two.
The Tar Heels won the 1919 contest
by the score of 13 to 12 when Grady
Pritchard blocked a kick and covered
it for a touchdown, but the State Col
lege outfit pulled the next two contests
out of the fire by scores of 13 to 3 and
7 to 0. In 1920 "Runt" Lowe's drop

DI FAVORS WEARING
OF FRESHMAN INSIGNIA
Condemns Recent Paragraphics in Tar
Heel on Athletics Meeting Shows
More Than Usual Pep.
The Dialectic Senate last Saturday
night went on record as approving the
proposition offered the freshmen where
by, they would wear some class insig
nia and also ns condemning the recent
paragraphics In the Tar Heel in regard
to athletics here
Senator LB. Kennett spoke in fa
vor of the first resolution and was an
swered by Senators Byron Glenn and
George Stephens for the negative.
Kennett argued that if the freshmen
were required to wear some kind of in
signia, they would know their classmates
better and a better class spirit would be
shown. Stronger class spirit, he pointed
out, woud be . a step toward stronger
school spirit. ' ,
Senator Stephens for the negative
called attention to the fact that a move
ment is now on to encourage members
of the three upper classes to wear but
tons and not allow- the freshmen , to
wear insignia of any kind. This, he
thought, would cause upperclassmen
not wearing the buttons to be embar
rassed by being mistaken for freshmen
and would also give the twenty-niners
something to look forward to besides
the joy of using the paddle on next
year's crop of first year men.
Those speaking in favor of the sec
ond resolution were: Senators Byron
Glenn, George Stephens, , L. B. Kennett
and J. O. Bell, Jr. The negative was
upheld by Senator ,W.' T. Alexander
and others. The affirmative argued that
the criticism came at an Inopportune
moment, and hurt the morale of the
team. They brought out that Wake
Forest, once considered as a team
played by Carolina to give our team

Holiday Today
The University, according to
its usual custom, will give a hol

CAKE RACE OPENS
HARRIER SEASON
Annual Cake Race Comes On
October 30 This Year.
HEAVY TRACK SCHEDULE
Varsity and Freshman Teams Will
Meet Stiff Opposition.
The cross-country and fall track sea
son will be ushered in by the annual
All-University Cross-Country Run, or
"Cake Race" which will take place this
year on Friday afternoon, October 30.
This big hill-and-dale , race has be
come a fixture on the Intra-mural Ath
letic Department's fall program each
year, and it furnishes some good training
for the varsity and freshman cross-country
teams which open their season Im
mediately following the big Intra-mural
event. ', "
The track manager has announced the
schedules for the varsity and freshman
cross-country teams this year, and the
Tar Heel and Tar Baby harriers are in
for some stiff oorjosition before the close
of the season which comes about the
first of December. The teams from all
of the major colleges -in the state will be
met during November.
The first of the season is barely a
month away, and men starting now have
time to get in shape for the first meet
of the season. The cross-country run
ners do not get a letter now, but it is
possible that it may be so recognized
in another year or two. Men starting
now will be in line for recognition then,
and a 'man starting in his freshman year
will have more chance than men who
wait till that time to begin their work.
All men who desire to try for places
on the varsity or first year teams are
requested to report to Coach M. D.
Ranson at the stadium on Monday and
Tuesday afternoons of next week be
tween four and six o'clock.

The student body moves on to Raleigh
today with plenty of pep and vim after
attending the pep meeting in front of
the post office last night. Carolina stu
dents have received many praises about
the manner in which they cheered ana.
yelled at the Duke game. This showed
that the student body will be right be
hind the Tar Heels today when they
trot out on Riddick Field to meet the
State College Wolf Pack. ...
The team will be accompanied by
Rameses IV, the newly acquired mus
eot that was given by Dan Burns, of

DEDICATION RITES
TAKE UP SECOND
PART PROGRAM
Tribute Paid to Dr. Venable by
the Speakers At
Dedication.
GREETED WITH APPLAUSE
Venable Makes Short Talk In Appre
. ciation of Honor Conferred .
Upon Him.
A crowd of about 250 people were
gathered in the main lecture room of
Venable Hall Monday afternoon for the
dedication services, the second part of
the day's program.
Dr. J. M. Bell, head of the depart
ment .of chemistry, presided and intro
duced the first speaker, Edgar Fahs
Smith, former Provost of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Smith, and
each of the other speakers, spoke from
manuscript, none of them speaking for
more than twenty minutes. "Chemistry,"
he speaker said, "is the noblest of all
the sciences. It is not a fountain shut
up a book closed but something hu
man. The other sciences lean upon it.
In every employment its influence is
felt." . .,
Dr. Smith traced the history of the
science in this country from its begin
ning in old Virginia in 1608 when the
first manufactory was i established in
America for the making of plate glass.
He mentioned the great importance of
the indigo industry in early North Caro
lina history after it was discovered in
1719 to be indigenous to the Carolinas.
In closing the speaker said that he
was happy that the, name attached to
this building' was that of his old friend,
Francis P. Venable, whose works in
experimental chemistry were known far
and wide.

Bertram Bordon Boltwood, Professor
of Chemistry at Yale University, was the
second speaker on -the program. "The

RUSHING SEASON
TO BE SHORTENED
New System Endorsed by Intra-
Fraternity Council.
LIMITED TO FIVE WEEKS
Bids' Will Be Filed and Notices Sent
to Freshmen.
By Baowsr Shepherd
Since the hostility, the bitterness, and
the cut-throat methods displayed during
the crisis ofthe past rushing season, it
has been obvious that a revised system
of rushing is inevitable. There were de
fects and problems contained in the old
system that could not be controlled. In
numerous instances bewildered freshmen
were put to a veritable third degree at
the last minute. A climax fraught with
entreaties, threats and tears changed the
mind of many a confused boy, who, had
he been given a few hours of peace in
which to consider things from all an
gles, would probably, in many instances,
have formed a different decision. The
old system was too lengthy for intensive
rushing; and yet it was practically nec
essary that the different fraternities
maintain a system of intensive rushing
if they were to get a satisfactory quota
of freshmen.
The Inter-fraternity Council was con
fronted with two alternatives a longer
milling season or a shorter system. Aft
er much consideration and debate, it was
agreed that a shorter season would be
more popular with all parties concerned.
Friday evening a resolution was passed
by the faculty, and endorsed Monday
night by the Inter-fraternity Council,
whereas the season of rushing is to be
limited to 'five weeks. On Monday, No
vember the 2nd, a period of silence will
begin in which no fraternity man will
be permitted to consult' with' a fresh
man. This period of silence will ' last
for two days. AH bids will be filed by
the respective, fraternities with Dean
Bradshaw and Professor Graham, two
neutral members of the faculty. Notices
will be sent to freshmen who receive bids
to present these members of the faculty
witli a paper designating which bid they
prefer first, which second, etc. Each
freshman will be assigned to the frater
nity whose bid ranks first, in accordance
with the stated preferences of the fresh
man, among those received. By this
method a freshman will never be able to
ascertain definitely which fraternities
sent him bids and which did not. Bid
day is set for Wednesday, Nov. 4th.
It seems that the Inter-fraternity
Council, in devising this new system of
rushing, has simplified things to such a
point that all former defects and weak
nesses are to a great extent eliminated.
JUBILEE ENDS
WITH BANQUET
IN SWAIN HALL
Banquet in Evening for Visit
ing Delegates, Alumni,
and Faculty.
NOTABLE SPEAKERS HERE
Governor McLean and Former Presi
', dent Alderman Principal Speak
, ers During' Program.
The Serni-Centennial celebration of the
reopening of i the University of North
Carolina came to a fitting-i climax in a
blaze of oratory on Monday night at the
final banquet in Swain Hall.
Francis Donnell Winston, graduate of
1879, presided at the final official event
of the celebration. In his opening ad
dress of the evening Toastmaster Wins
ton first asked everyone to move his seat
as near as possible to the central table
in order to hear the speeches of three ex-
Presidents George T. Winston (1891-
1896), Edwin A. Alderman (1896-1900),
and Francis P. Venable (1900-1914), An
gus Wiiton McLean, Governor of North
Carolina and President ex-officio of the
Board of Trustees of the University,
Harry W. Chase, president of the Uni

S. Manning, state . senator and former
Justice of the Superior Court and State
Attorney General, and W. P. Stacy,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina.
Judge Winston Toastmaster
Toastmaster , Winston said in jpart in
his opening talk:
"Fond and tender recollections sweep
over me here at this final exercise of
these impressive ceremonies of the re
opening of the University. But I mere

speakers., I did not seek or desire to
have any responsible duties to perform
I am impressed by those duties. There

TAR BABIES ARE
GETTING IN FORM
Season Opens With Game With
Maryland Frosh.
LIGHT, FAST BACKFIELD
Ends Average 190 Pounds, But Are
Fast and Shifty.
With only two days left in which to
practice, Coaches "Runt" Lowe and
Grady Pritchard are working the Fresh
man football team hard each afternoon
in preparation for the opening game of
the season, which will be played ' with
the Maryland Freshmen on Emerson
Field Saturday afternoon. Little is
known here of the record of the Mary
landers but it is said that they have one
of the strongest teams in the history of
the institution.
The Tar Babies will open the season
Saturday with one of the heaviest lines
ever to represent a first year team in
this state.' The average weight of the
Carolina forwards is approximately 190
pounds. But with this great amount of
avoirdupois the men are not slowj they
are fast and shifty on their feet. Al
though the hackfield is comparatively
light, it is one of the fastest ones ever
seen in these parts.
It is very seldom that a team can boast
of two fast and shifty ends who average
190 pounds, but this is exactly what the
Tar Babies can do. Beam, of Shelby,
tips the scales at 198, while Roy Wil
liams, of Hendersonvllle, weighs 185.
Then there is Marginoff, the big tackle
from Charleston, S. C, who weighs 240
pounds, and Eby, a stocky lad from
New Bern, who weighs 223. With such
men as these in the line, the Carolina
Frosh should be able to hold their own
against any team that they run up
against.
, The coaches have not yet decided who
they will start in the opening game, but
in all probability the men will come out
of the following: Ends, Beam, Williams,
Ellison, and Sandlin; tackles, Marginoff,
Howard, Eby, and Burton; guards,
Schuler, Evans, and Gregory; centers,
Schwartz, Grigg, and Deadmon; quarter-back,
Lassitcr and Furchesj half
backs, Ford, Hackney, and Satterfleld;
full backs, Kelly, Wilson and Holland.

CAROLINA SCRUBS WIN
FROM W.LI. 7 TO 0
Gresham Scores Touchdown From 60
, Yard Pass Long Forward Passes '
of Sapp Feature. :.
While the varsity team was running
up its record score against Duke in
Durham last Saturday afternoon, anoth
er Tar Heel aggregation was raising the
Blue and White to a victorious place on
another field. The scrub team invaded
Wilmington, and came back with a 7
to 0 win over the Wilmington Light In
fantry outfit. i
The scrubs hud the W. L.; I. team com
pletely outclassed in every phase of the
game, both on the defense and offense.
Gresham scored the touchdown when he
received a sixty-yard pass from Sapp
and galloped over the Infantrymen's
goal line. '
The, feature of the contest was the
long forward passes of Sapp. - The
scrubs punted only twice during the
game. . The rest of the time when a punt
was needed Wilkins called Sapp back,
and the sorrel-topped Winston-Salem lad
would toss the ball a distance of sixty
or more yards over the goal line, which
was just as good as a punt f over the
last line. ;
Buccaneer Moves Into New :
Office on Third Floor
The Carolina Buccaneer, infant mem
ber of the Carolina Publications Union,
has moved from The Tab Heki. office
to one of its own on the third floor: of
New West.
The Buccaneer sailed into the Tar
Heel office last spring when its Frank
lin street office- was demolished. The
comic asked to be allowed to spend three
days in the newspaper's domains while
it was securing new quarters. ;
However, once in the office, the comic
staff showed an extreme reluctance ! to
leaving. After numerous attempts . to
get them to sail on, a member of the Tah
Heel board found it necessary to ap
nroach Mr. Woollen and secure an of
fice for the humorous magazine. The
Buccaneer officiuls claimed that they had
been searching for a place ever since
ast spring but were unable to make any
headway. The Tar Heel man found new
quarters for them within fifteen minutes
after starting his search. All of which
may go to show the superiority of news
papermen over their less fortunate
brothers.
The Tab Heei, is glad to announce in
behalf of the Buccaneer that the funny
paper's office is now on the third floor of
New West. While the comic folks are
ejoicing in their new and commodious
quarters, the Tax IIkkl is considering
holding a series of thanksgiving meetings
as a result of their deliverance.

PHI DOWNS QUESTION
OF FRESHMAN DORMS
Heated Discussion Results in Vote of
11 to la-Cole Trial Taken up
But Discussion Postponed.
That the freshmun class should not be
segregated from the rest of the student
body and placed in separate dormitories
is the decision reached by the Phi as
sembly in regular session Saturday night.
The vote, however, -was not decisive, be
ing 14 to 13 against the proposed bill.
The question at first hinged around
the question of having all the University
classes and members of the professional
schools, with the exception of those liv
ing in fraternity houses, housed as a
group in a separate dormitory or dormi
tory sections but the bill soon centered
on the freshman class and was revised
to include that class only. ,
Heated discussion marked the recep
tion of the measure, and, as the final
vote shows, the house was about evenly
divided over the matter. The fact of
the matter was that the opponents of
the bill were having things much their
way until Speaker Couch left the ros
trum in defence of the bill.
The Cole trial also came up for con
siderable discussion, but was carried
over to the next meeting when it seemed
that nobody knew much except general
facts about the case.
