C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1925 NUMBER 16 VARSITY MEETS MERCER OUTFIT IN TODAY'S BILL Carolina Is Slated to Defeat Georgia Baptists Today by Healthy Margin. TWENTY-FOUR GO ON TRIP Victory Today By Tar Heels Would Make Fourth Consecutive Win Tbia Season. ' The Tar Heels will swing into action this afternoon in the Mercer University stadium at Macon, Georgia. And when the Georgia Baptists retire from the field at the close of the final quarter they will probably know that they have been up against a real team. The name of a Baptist is to the Tar Heel football squad what a Ted flag is to an angry bull, and the good brethren of Georgia may ex pect to pay this afternoon for the de feat suffered by the Tar Heels at the hands of Wake Forest earlier ' in the season. All this week the Hillians have been prepping for their invasion of the enemy territory, and Coach Bob Fetzer carried with him when he left Thursday night an even two dozen well trained grid war riors, all hungry for Baptist meat. , Whilethe game itself will have no effect on the ranking of the Tar Heels in the Southern Conference standing it will have a great deal of influence on the morale of the team. Another win today will run the Carolina string to four consecutive successes, and the team will return to their home stamp ing grounds with a new drive and fight to carry against the Old Liners of the University of Maryland next Saturday, Just what the line-up of the Tar Heels to start today's contest- will be is unknown, but the Carolina mentors have been using practically the same first string outfit in practice that took the field against the State. The players making the trip to the Georgia city were Captain Mclver, Dod derer, McMurray, Morehead, Robinson, Whisnant, . BrassweU, McDaniel, Dill, Thomas, Curlee, Lipscomb, Faulkner, 'Newcombe, Warren Sparrow, Under wood, Ferrell, Shuford, Young, Izor, Cobb, Fordham and Jenkins. Dr. It. B. Lawson and Manager "Turk" Holder- ness accompanied the squad. OXFORD OVERWHELMED BY SCORE OF 25 TO 0 Heavy Chapel Hill High Takes One sided Affair from Visitors On Emerson Field Yesterday. , i . Chapel Hill walked over the lighter Oxford team in a rather one-sided and listless exhibition on Emerson Field yes terday afternoon, winning the contest by the final count of 25 to 0. Oxford was unable to register a first down during the entire game while the local team plowed through the line of the visitors almost at will, scoring a touchdown in every quarter. The outcome was never in doubt from the opening kickoff. Both teams fumbled freauentlv. but Chanel Hill played a much more consistent game in which their superior weight was an important factor. Only hard fighting of the visitors prevented" a severer drubbing and the game was marred by frequent delays due to the large number of knock-outs. J . Hunt, Oxford quarter-back, was knocked out during the last quarter and had not regained consciousness when the game ended. The, entire Chapel HU1 team showed good form, but Pendergraft made the prettiest run of the game in the second quarter when, after fumbling,a punt, he recovered the ball and Taced forty-five yards through the entire Oxford team for a touchdown. Evans starred fof Ox ford, standing out as a tower of strength In the defensive work of his team. Line-up i Chapel Hill Perry Williams ; Hogan Sturdiant Oxford L.E. . Remsen L.T.. - Hunt, R.

VANDERBILT TRIP BUSTS DR. CHASE Arrives in Durham withOnly Thirty Cents. WAS IN TRAIN WRECK Didn't JIave Jitney Fare Home ( Chase Saves the Day. -Mrs. Pulling into the Durham station Sun day night with only thirty cents in his pocket was an experience that nearly caused President Chase a good deal of embarassmeiit. The fare from Durham tO( Chapel Hill totals half a dollar and the head of the University lacked twenty cents of having the necessary credentials i'or a ride on the bus. Dr. Chase attended the semi-centennial celebration held at Vanderbilt Univer sity last ; week commemorating of the founding of the famous Tennessee, school fifty years ago. On his return trip the train on which the President was riding was wrecked between Nashville and At lanta. The engine and a mail coach turned over and one or two of the day coaches left the rails. Dr. Chase was riding in a pullman and although shaken up, escaped uninjured. A woman in the same coach was thrown down so violently that she suffered a broken leg. The wreck necessitated a lay over in Atlanta and the resulting unexpected night's stay in a hotel there reduced the President's-'pocketbook to a slim state. Sunday night it is said that Dr. Chase counted his money and found that he must either go hungry or leave the pull- man in favor of a day coach. The Presi dent elected to eat and to take a chance on the forward cars staying on the tracks. He ate and had thirty cents left Upon arriving in Durham, he found Mrs. Chase with their warm sedan await ing his return. Consequently the Presi dent was not forced to plead with a jit ney driver to give him a lift or to bring him home, three-fifths down and the re maining two-fifths . on the installment plan.

Sev eral matters of importance were dis cussed, and plans for the general pro gram of the year were made. German songs and discourse made , up. an im portant part of the meeting. The Deutsche Verein is composed of officers and students of the University who are interested in German. The offi cers of the Verein arei Dr. E. C. Met zenthin, directors H. H.

MAY SECURE SPECIAL TRAIN TO RICHMOND Plans Being Made for a bpeciat to Carry Students to Carolina-V. M. I. Game November 7. Effort is now being made to provide a special train for the V. M. I.-Carolina game to be held at Richmond on No vember 7 th. . Present plans provide for the train s leaving Pittsboro street on the campus at 10:30 or 11:00 o'clock Friday night, November 6th. i It will arrive in Rich mond at 7:00 o'clock Saturday morning. The special will start back at midnight Saturday, and will arrive at Chapel Hill about 7:00 the next morning. Thus a full day will be allowed in Richmond and until 12:00 Saturday night to catch a date or a dance. The round trip fare will vbe $6.77. This Is about the price for one way from Durham. Pullmans will be provided for those who consider this luxury a neces sity. The tourist Pullman fare will be $3.00, and the standard pullman $6.00. In order to obtain these rates it will be necessary to have at least 125 passen gers. . i-'-t It is something of a tradition lor taro- lina men to go to Richmond to see the V. M. I. game and a chance to get this special rate will undoubtedly attract a irrcat many. Formerly freights nave been the chief means of conveyance but pulluians bid fair to take their place this year. James Bullitt has gone to Philadel phia, Pa., to attend a notional conven tion of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. SAVY.

The second , concert by the : United Hates Navy Band took place in Mem irial Hall Thursday evening at 8:30. It was given before a fair 'size audience ind ranged from operatic overtures to nodern fox trots. - Numerous encores md extras were played in addition to he ten selections listed on .the program. The concert opened with The' Lure of llaska, a spirited march composed by -.ieutenant Benter, the 'director - of the -rganization,- and dedicated by him to he late President Warren G. Harding, ihen followed '" that most wonderful riumph of Wagoner's genius, the over ure to Tannhauser. Opening with the olem, stately strains of the PUgrim'i ,'horus, it merged gradually into an ;iusive melody the theme of which was carried by the wood-wind section and hen, 'accelerando, plunged with a crash f brasses into a whirling, passionate Bacchanale. The climax came with the grandioso repetion of the sombre Pit- arim's Chorus forcefully stressed and embellished with a running clarinet fig ure that cut through it. like brilliant stabs of light. The ballet music from Delibes' Coppelia was an airy fragment of expression done with the dextrous grace which has won leadership in difficult field for its talented composer. As an interpolated selection, a medley of old time waltzes was offered including such favorites of our fathers as The Sidewalks of New York, Little Annie Rooney and After the Ball. For the .... ' j purpose or contrast mis was ioiiuwcu by the familiar fox-trot Oh Katherina, zestfully orchestrated and featuring some rapid clowning on the drums. Stabat Mater is an ancient religious poem based on the crucifixion and set to music by Rdssini. lhe injlamatus, probably the best known part of the opus, was rendered by Mr. DeGiorgio as a cornet solo. As encores Mr. De Giorgio gave The Rosary and O Bole Mio. Pantomine, a suite de ballet by Lacome of the whimsical French school, moved from one delicate -caprice to an other with a suggestion of poetic gal lantry. After an intermission of ten minutes the program was continued with Liszt's Pesther Carnival, the second of his re nowned Hungarian Rhapsodies. This was a descriptive poem written in har monics and interpreting con aiiegrezza the myriad activities of a Magyar fes tival. The perennially popular Beautiful Danube waltze in which Strauss cap tured the- heart of Vienna and impris oned it in bars of music was given with great success.

' A se lection from the varied works of the late Victor Herbert was well received. Reminltcences of the Plantation, suppos edly an example of American Folk Mu sic, proved to be only a stereotyped me lange of Dixie and Old Black Joe. As such it was 'distinctly disappointing.

Carolina Biddies Today The Freshman football team will play its second game of the season on Emer son field this afternoon when it lines up in action against the strong eleven rep resenting the freshmen of the University of South Carolina. Last year the Tar Babies emerged victorious after a hard fought contest. Both teams appear to be much stronger this year and the con test should be very interesting and hard fought from beginning to end. The proteges of "Runt" Lowe and Grady pritchard hope to repeat their perform ance of last season by defeating the South Carolinians. . , After seeing the Tar Babies In action against the Maryland Frosh - lust Sat urday it is quite evident that the team Is much stronger than It was last year.

FROSH TEAM OUT TO COP SOUTHERN TITLE Brilliant Start Gives Tar Babies Hope Virginia, State, and Florida Will ' Be Met on Foreign Soil. With a whirlwind beginning, the Caro lina Freshmen bid fair to cop the lau rels among the yearlings in the South ern Intercollegiate Conference this year. The Caroliria Yearlings have swept aside everything in the way, defeating Sanford High School by a large score and the strong Maryland aggregation 21-0. .Their score over the Marylanders seems more impressive when the record of the Old Line freshies is considered. The frosh eleven of Maryland defeated the Washington and Iee first year team, and the Little Generals had previously downed the Virginia freshmen by a good score. These comparative defeats give the Carolina Tar Babies an' edge on the first year outfits in Virginia which are usually strong contenders in the confer ence.' What the other first year teams on the Tar Heel schedule have on deck is not known, for they are just begin ning to swing into action, but Coach Lowe will send a team on the field which will give them trouble. South Carolina comes to Chapel Hill today to give battle to the Carolina Yearlings. This will be their last home game, for then on successive ; week-ends the Carolina yearlings meet Virginia and State on foreign fields. Armistice Day will find them at Lakeland, Flu., fight ing the 'Gators. mighty good backs to go through it with any degree of consistency. : The back field, led by Captain Edison Foard, Is thought to be one of the fastest among freshman teams in the entire South. The game this afternoon will be the last one that the Tar Babies will play on Emerson field this year. Therefore, a large crowd is expected to be on hand to cheer .them on to victory. On the next three Saturdays they will meet the fresh aran teams of the University of Virginia, N. C. State, and the University of Flor ida, respectively, on foreign gridirons. Undoubtedly, the Carolina ' Frosh have one of the strongest elevens that has ever represented the University and it is be lieved that they will be strong contend ers in the running for the honors among freshmun teams in the South Atlantic division.

COURSE FOR CAKE RACE ALREADY MARRED OFF Route Laid Off By Ranson and Bell Is Approximately Two Miles In Length- The-course for the annual cake race to.be held October 30 has at last been marked off. Due to paving operations the course used in pjevious races had to be shifted and the new route was laid out Tuesday afternoon by "Var sity" Bell and Dale Ranson. The contestants will start at the west end of Emerson field and run its entire length, going out the east gate. Turn ing to the left they will follow the road which meanders by the tin can to Pitts boro road. From litis point they will follow the Pittsboro road to its point of juncture with Pittsboro, street. Doubling back along Pittsboro street to Cameron and along Cameron Avenue to the Carolina Inn they will turn into Pittsboro road again. From there the course will follow the road to the place where they originally entered it, lead back by the tin can, and re-enter Em erson field, by the. east gate;; As a sort of grand finale to the race the runners will circle the track once after coming back Into s the stadium. Arrows have already been posted all along the course so that all those would be cake winners training for the race may practice running the course itself. From the starting point back to Emer son Held is approximately 1.7 - miles, making the whole course total practical ly two miles. IS RE-ORGANIZED Old Members Must Pay Annual Fee by November 30. FEE COVERS'ALL DANCES initiation Fee Placed At $10.00 Fresh men May Join Next Spring ' ' For Finals! -' Without a dissenting vote the German Club Thursday adopted the proposed plun ' for re-organizatioh of the . Club and provided for the limiting of -mem-jership to three hundred.; A committee .omposed of Herman Mclver, Hill Yar jorough, Henry Johnston, George Ste vens and Jim McClamrock wus appointed .o draw up a constitution, embodying the newly adopted plan, for submission to ihe Club at its meeting on November 12. November 10th Limit Among the regulations , adopted was one requiring all old members to pay the annual fee of $15.00 before November 10. In ease any old member fails to meet this requirement by the time limit, his- mem bership s is automatically to cease. In such an event, the ex-member will be forced to rejoin and must pay the regu lar initiation fee of $10.00 in addition to the annual tax of $15.00. . . Reduces Cost Under the new system the cost of the Thanksgiving, Easter and Commence ment dances will be reduced about sev enty per cent for each student. Under the new budget system the annual dues are to be collected at the beginning of the year and the German-Club enabled to proceed on a firm financial basis. The-' three sets of dances are expected to cost ' five thousand dollars and the annual fee will not only meet the budget require ment, but will give admission to all the dances for the year. In the past the dances have cost the , members In the neighborhood of fifteen dollars a set, or a total of forty-five dollars or more for the year,, ,. :. . Members Only Another feature of the new plan pro vides for the exclusion from the dances of all non-club members. In the past the necessity of making the dances finan cially successful forced the officers to al low non-members to purchase tickets for each set. But now, only duly enrolled and paid up members of the Club are to be admitted. In case one should join the club late in the year, he must pay the entire annual fee. In other words, the organization is to be conducted in the future on a strictly club and, pro ratio basis. v , Improve Dances The new plan is expected to work wonders in the way of improving the Carolina dances. Last spring saw the finals sink to a very low ebb and it was generally said that the dances here were far below the standard at neighboring institutions. The re-organized Club is based on the scheme used at Washing ton and Lee and other colleges where it has proved a marked success. Member ship In the Club will entitle a member to a guest ticket, a factor which alone will improve the local hops and proms greatly. Frcshmjn In Spring - , Freshmen are eligible for membership In the German Club near the end of the year and are allowed to attend the Com mencement series. The books will be opened to first year men between May 15 and 25 of next spring. The regular initiation fee of $10.00 will be charged and a fee of $5.00 collected to cover the final set. In this way, the first , year students will receive benefit of the club rate and will be forced to pay only for ( Continued on page four) SECOND GRAIL DANCE TO BE HELD TONIGHT Crowded Conditions Which Hampered First Not Expected--Vigilance Committee to Keep Sharp Eye. Following the Carolina-South Carolina freshman game here this afternqpn the second Grail dance of the season will be held in Bynum gymnasium. The overcrowded conditions that hin dered the first dunce, which followed the Wake Forest game, are not expected. The usual number of girls from Raleigh and Durham, together with a smattering of visiting girls from other sections of the state, will be in attendance. ' The boys will be for the most part students of the University. Drinking and smok ing at the dance will be strictly watched by members of the vigilance committee. Action, prompt , and vigorous, will be taken against any student under the in fluence of liquor. Hal Kemp's orchestra, which has re ceived such favorable comment in this vicinity, will again, furnish the music. The affair should be a joyous and typi cal Grail club dance.
