FOUR T H STRAIGHT WIN Smith, for Mercer, Is Outstanding Player Despite Injury in First Half of Game. A field go1 kicked by Emmett Un derwood from placement on the 20-yard line was the deciding (actor in Caro lina's 3 to 0 victory over Mercer Sat urday afternoon at Macon, Ga. :The "Georgia Baptists showed " unexpected strength and after the first quarter the game was a nip and tuck affair. The fast Carolina backs could not gain through the Mercer line with any de gree of consistency. Carolina threw away an excellent chance to score In the fourth quarter when, with the ball on the one-yard line, a player was penalized 18 yards for, dis puting a decision' of the referee. "Phoney" Smith) Mercer half-back, was the outstanding star of the contest He was taken out of the game in the initial half as a result of 'injuries and his ab sence from the line-up materially weak ened the Bears' offensive. He returned to the game in the second half and tore through the line and around the ends for substantial gains, but at times when his interference was not what it might have been, he was thrown for losses by Carolina tacklers. v v The Tar Heel backs made several sub-1 stantial gains through the Mercer line but they did not have the final punch to push the ball over for, a touchdown, Both teams were somewhat handicapped by having to play on a field of mud, which was a result of a drizxling rain which fell during Friday night and Sat urday morning. This was the fourth consecutive win 'for the Fetzerites and they now bid fair to win the Southern Conference title. ' Incidentally, the Carolina goal line has not been crossed since the first gome of the season, ' when the , Wake Forest Demon Deacons scored a lone touch' down.. .

USE NOTRE DAME SYSTEM Billy Goat, Tar Baby Mascot, Makes Initial Appearance. : Getting all the breaks of the game, the South Carolina Freshman football eleven defeated the North Carolina Tar Babies on Emerson Field Saturday aft ernoon by the score of 19-6. Due to a drizzling rain which fell all the morning, the contest was played in a veritable sea of mud. Just prior to the start of the game, "Jim". Nixon, president of the freshman class, came on the field leading a billy goat, which is to be the Tar Babies' mascot The goat was attired in the class Colors and came strutting on the field in all his pomp ni glory. It was a great day in his young life. Suddenly he made a dash for his freedom and, evading the grasp of his keeper, led a merry chase over Emerson field before he was finally captured. - Coaches Lowe and Pritchard tried the Notre Dame system of attack when they started the second team. The youngsters were holding their own and, led by "Tom" Cox, were about to score against the South Carolinians when Windus, left end for the visitors, intercepted an at tempted literal pass and raced 83 yards down the field fo rtlie first touchdown of the game. The play was nothing less than sensational and came as a great surprise to the great crowd of spectators. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful as the attempted placement kick was blocked. At this juncture, the first team went in and they immediately started a drive that carried them down ,the field for a touchdown, Captain Foard carry ing the ball over on an off-tackle play. An attempted forward pass for the, ex tra point was grounded.

Bradshaw will attend the Conference on Student Personnel Work to be held at Richmond,Va., October 30, under the auspices of the Education Personnel Association. The conference Is belng: held to discuss vocational ori entation arid thej allied subjects. j The University is one of the H mem bers of the 'Education Personnel Asso ciation, an association that deals with the work of aiding the individual in selecting his' best suited vocation. Al though work in this is not very far advanced at this time in the South, the University is an outstanding figure in this field and is far advanced over its other fellow southern Institutions. Voca tional work and the establishment of the Vocational Bureau was begun here by T. A, Whitener, now of the Thomasville Orphanage schools, and is now under the direction of Dean.

Made at Last Moment Officials Think it Was Successful The "Y" campaign came to an et.4 yesterday when those present at chapel were given a chance to pledge and last night when the "Y" cabinet instead of holding a regular meeting broke up, the members going out over the campus from dormitory to dormitory and seeing all met possible who had not yet sub scribed. It was not definitely known how much was secjured, or even if the goal of 4,250 that was set was reached, but it is thought that upwards of $1,000 was pledged at chapel. ,' Frazier Glenn, treasurer of the "Y" and, therefore automatically chairman of the finance campaign, made his report in chapel of the first campaign, which was held several weeks ago with George Ste vens as chairman, by the appointment of Glenn. In this report he stated that 1,027 men were seen ..or around 55 per cent. 'of the student body and that of this number eighteen refused to contrib ute, fifteen of these being unable to do so because they were self-help students; hence only three : men refused without cause to contribute! Around $2,000 was collected, 700 being in cash and the (Continued from page four) CAROLINA PRODIGY YOUTHFUL CALIFORNIA'S HONOR ... si I Harry McGalliard of Carolina nia Both Enter College at Early Age of 14 Carolinian Still Wears Short Pants But Enters Into . ' Several Activities. "By Bybojt . "Brightest boy in California," is the description of fourteen year old Mat thew Marsh,- freshman in the University of California. One of the youngest and brightest boys among Southern college students would be a trile'word picture of Harry Woodrow McGalliard, fourteen year' old freshman in the University of North Carolina. . Dr. Maria Montessorl, nationally rioted educator, declared when the youthful boy prodigy of California was four years old that, "Matthew Marsh is the brightest boy in California." It is indeed regrettable that an expert could not have examined young McGalliard when he was four, for the precocious Californian has nothing on young Mc Galliard who entered college at the same age as did the) mentally overdeveloped Westerner. -JIarry's brother, John Calvin, by a spe cial dispensation of the Board of Trus tees was allowed to enter the University in 1920 at the tender age of thirteen. The McGalliard family was' at that time living in Connelly Springs, a small sum mer resort in the Blue Ridge foothills, and it was necessary to have a special meeting of the Board to carefully con sider John's future college life before ho was given permission to enroll in the University. Mr. McGalliard with his wife, three precocious boys, and two! charming little girls moved to Chapel Hill in 1921. So when the high school 4 T fi ijLi 4 REVIEWER GIVES MAGAZINE RAKING Considers November Issue of Carolina Magazine Very Poor. ONLY FEW GOOD POINTS Finds Much Good Poetry Scattered Through the Pages " ' By Beachcomber' 'One hates to pick on something that is poor and weak ; the knowledge that no retaliation is possible may afford a tem porary pleasure but cohscience eventu ally gets hi its work. However, a critic is supposed to have no finer feelings and should not hesitate over finical rules of etiquette. The November Issue of the Carolina Magazine, taken as a whole, is undeniably poor. Its contents when separated into their component parts are hopelessly weak. , But with callous cruelty I will not let these facts stay me. I intend to take the Magazine, rend :t asunder and spread Its entrails along the roadway. There are one or two pass ably good things in the issue; they must feel horribly out of place. Mr. A.

Harry was allowed to sign his name to the University's registry with the under standing that for the next two or three years he would, continue to reside at home. . Harry's babyhood and childhood ,ac tions testify loudly as to the unusually early development of his cranium ma terial.. When a little tot, Harry's chief interest lay not in sucking his thumb or prying into things that little boys should not. Instead he was intensely interested in books and pictures. For hours at the time he would sit before a blazing fire in the open stone hearth with a book be fore him and patiently try to decipher the words tlierein. After being told his A, B, C's once or twice by his mother by diligent self-application Harry taught himself the alphabet. The same'was true in the case of numerals. With practi cally no assistance he read all his first reader, Halburtori's Primer. Young McGalliard's father owned a general store in Connelly Springs. When eight years old Harry was intellectually so well developed that his father often left him alone for two or three hours in entire charge of the large emporium. The youth meticulously made a written rec ord of each commercial transaction large (Continued from page four) VilW ,;. W FROST LECTURE TO BE ONE OF BEST OF YEAR Lecture and Reading Friday Night in Gerrard Hall Expected to Draw Large Crowd. The lecture and reading to be given Friday night at 8:30 in Gerard Hall by Robert Frost promises to be one of the best of the lecture series this year. Mr. Frost is well known among literary cir cles yin this country and is considered one of the best j of , the contemporary poets. . v His poems are noted for their simpli city and sincerity, for they are all based on personal experience. Born in San Francisco, but starting out in life as a farm boy ih New Hampshire, Mr. Frost has proved himself one of the most talented of thei. modern poets, and more materially speaking, is responsible for the preseiiee of several inches in the American "Whp's Who' For five years he worked on a farm at Derry, N. H. After giving up farm ing, he remained at Derry six years more as teacher of English at Pinkerton Acad emy. During the next year he taught psychology at New Hampshire State Normal. The years from 1912 to 1915 he spent in England. Upon his return from England he was called to Amherst College as Professor of English, where he remained until 1921. Since that time he has been poet in residence of the University of Michigan. Mr.; Frost is the author of four vol umes- of verse, all of which deal with New England and its people. The titles of these volumes are: "A Boy's Will," "North of Boston," "Mountain Interval," and "New Hampshire." DELEGATES TO ATTEND DUKE U.

BEST MUSIC EVER HERE Excellent Order Maintained by Man agement Crowd Large Enough But Not Too Large for Floor. Saturday .night at 9:30, In Bynum gymnasium, a few stragglers attempted to start what promised to be the saddest act ever pul! on as an activity of the Order of the Grail. Damp weather, punctuated at intervals by a drizzling, chilly rain, tempted the dainty dumsels to hold their dates at home beside' the comforting flumes of a flickering fire. it muy be that the fuel for the home fires grew scarce, or maybe the luring strains wafted upon the still night air' by Hal Kemp and his men penetrated Into the various cozy abodes of the cam, pus. Anyhow, couples began to filter and then to crowd through the entrance to the dance floor. Coins jingled mer rily and numerously into Zack Waters' cigar box. The couples already on the floor took a new hold on life and pro-, ceeded to flit around the floor in a most vivacious manner. The entire assam- blage changed a brief space of time from pessimL to merrymakers. GlrU arrived who hailed from the further most extremities of the state. The cam pus characters managed to remember the names of their dates. Everything within the portals of the gym assumed an aspect of glee. At no time.N however, was the floor crowded to such an extent as to hinder-the dancers. The number of people at the dance was in almost perfect proportion with the size of the floor. Aside from the fact that prac tically every student desired to be list ed as having escorted his own favorite movie actress, the event was a. unani mous success. The management and the order maintained by members of the Order of the Grail deserve much com , (Continued on page three) TRUETTAND POTEAT ARE BIG SPEAKERS Many Southern Baptist Speakers to Take Part in Baptist Students' Con- , ference Here Oct. 30 to Nov.

' "Christ-constrained in Campus Con quests" will be the chief thought which the conferences will touch .upon. It is sincerely believed by the sponsors of this third Baptist Students Conference that the developing days which a stu dent spends in college are the very ones that Chlrstian student should by all eans retain a firm grasp on.
