UPSET DOPE BIG SURPRISE
Two Touchdowns and Two Safeties
Give Margin Sparrow "Out-punts
Supplee and His Successor.
Probably the greatest football upset
in Southern football circles occurred at
Baltimore last Saturday afternoon when
the fighting Tar Heels defeated the Uni
versity of Maryland team by the score
of 16-0. With six of the first string
backfield men out of the game on ac
count of injuries and George Robinson,
star tackle and possible candidate for
the mythical All-American team, suf
fering with Infected tonsils, the Fetzer
ites went into the game in a very crip
pled condition and with the odds greatly
in favor of the Marylanders. But the
Tar Heels, with that indomitable fight
ing spirit, went Into the contest confident
if winning and came out with glory
pinned all over their backs. The new
men in the line-up more than lived up
to expectations and played a great 'game.
The line was almost impregnable, while
the backfield showed great speed and
driving power and tore through the
Maryland forwards with apparently lit
tle difficulty. The Carolina team com
pletely outclassed their opponents from
start to finish and seldom were they hi
danger of being1 scored t upon. Poor
punting on tire part of Supplee kept the
Old Liners on the defense practically all
of the time.
The, Carolina scoring was the result
of two safeties and two touchdowns, the
first score coming in the initial quarter.
A long punt by Sparrow drove the Mary
landers back into their own territory.
After Zulick kicked off, Carolina tried
one play on its own 35-yard line and
Sparrow then punted over Tenney's head,
the pigskin rolling to Maryland's five
yard line. After several plays, Cobb
fumbled and Maryland recovered. Three
exchanges of punts left the ball in the
possession of the Ravens on their own
eight-yard line. As Supplee attempted
to punt, the entire Carolina line broke
through and blocked the punt, the ball
rolling behind the goal. Supplee dashed
after the slippery pigskin, which got
away from him and fell into the hands
of Besley, who was tackled behind the
goal for a safety.
The Fetzermen tallied another touch
down and a safety in the second quar
ter. Led by Jenkins, the Tar Heels
started a drive from the 35-yard line
which carried them down the field for
a touchdown, Underwood carrying the
ball over on a line plunge. The try
for the extra point was unsuccessful as
Sparrow's attempted drop-kick was
blocked.
Carolina gained consistently on an ex
change of punts and forced Maryland
back to their own B5-yard line. When
Supplee attempted to punt, McMurray
broke 'through and blocked it, Tenney

POTEAT SPEAKS
DURING MEETING
"Maintaining the Surrender
Through College Days"
Is Topic. 1
AMBIGUITY AMONG YOUNG
Names Two Aspects of College Life
Responsible for Lapses of Belief.
"Surrender is a theological word, not
a Biblical word and it is widely misun
derstood," said Dr. William Louis Po
teat, president of Wake Forest College,
in a . talk on "Maintain the Surrender
Through College Days" which he deliv
ered Saturday night at a meeting of the
Baptist Student Conference. Accord
ing to Dr. Poteat, the , term does not
necessarily mean that no stirrings of
freedom are permissible and that we
must be completely dominated by a su
perior will during college days. "Re
pression is not the characteristic note of
the Gospel", he asserted. "The cross
breaks fetters and sets us free. Christ
came not to limit life but to enhance its
volume and joy."
He mentioned the fact that many peo
ple believe colleges to be antagonistic tf
Christianity when In reality numerous
religious movements have had their
origin there. Young people find it hard
at times to accept the teachings of self
sacrifice and self-denial because they
feel that it forbids fulfillment of their
own nature. In this case they are guilty
of attaching too much importance to the
phrase ("self-sacrifice." Dr. Poteat
pointed out that it was similar to a boy
saying he had "lost his heart" to a girl
when as a matter of fact that organ was
still in its normal position. A man who
makes the supreme surrender to God
loses nothing and gains everything.
"Such a surrender is victory," said the
speaker. "Such a slavery of love is
emancipation."

TRUEH'S ADDRESS
OPENS CONFERENCE
Baptist Student Conference
Hears World-Famed
Preacher. .
SEVERAL SHORT TALKS
Speaker Says God Is Greatest Power
In World Today.
. God is the greatest power in the
world today, stated Dr. Geo. W. Truett,
of Dallas, Texas, one of the outstanding
preachers of the world, in an address
before the opening session of the Bap
tist Student Conference Friday night at
the Chapel Hill Baptist Church. The
large auditorium of the local church,
despite the inclement weather, was
nearly filled.
The opening session, over which Perry
Morgan, of Raleigh, presided, opened
with short talks and addresses by sev
eral interesting speakers.. Rev. Eugene
Olive, pastor of the Chapel Hill Baptist
church, opened the conference with a
brief explanation of the theme of the
conference and a plea to "Make Christ
the' Cumpus Commander." ' He was fol
lowed by Frank H. Leavell, of Memphis,
Tenn., executive secretary of the South
ern Baptist Convention and Dean D. D.
Carrol, of the School of Commerce, who
welcomed the delegates to Chapel Hill
on behalf of the University. ,
Paul W. Cooper, a student of Mars
Hill College, ably presented the state
wide student sentiment and was follow
ed by music from the Wingate. Junior
College quartette. '
Dr. L. E. M. Freeman, of Meredith
College, gave an inspiring address on
"The Immediacy of the Demand of the
Church on Student Life," in which, he
brought J out the ; importance of the
church in modern civilization and the
part students should take in its mighty
program. ' V '
The church is the greatest moral in
fluence on earthy Dr. Freeman stated,
and is the greatest stabilizing social
force. The church challenges the stud
ents to link themselves up with its pro
gram, the greatest program of any or
ganization on earth that of establishing
God's kingdom in the world.
Student life is needed in the church,
Dr. Freeman forcefully",stated, to show
the power of Jesus, to act as a good
influence on the campus by living the
Christian life; so that the energy and
enthusiasm of students may be used for
Christ.
Dr. 'Truett, in his impressive manner,
took the attention of the audience from
the moment he stepped to the platform
and held it until the last of his mighty
and powerful sermon. He opened his
address, with the famous quotation from
Sir Walter Scott, "Breathes there a man
with soul so dead whom never to himself
hath said, 'This is my own, my native.' "
That, the noted minister proclaimed,
was an expression of his own feelings
upon returning again to his native soil.

Bell Tolling Last Night
Ushers in Halcyon Period
By Brown
-Last night at 12 o'clock the bell in
Old South toiled. The campus which
for Ave weeks has been the center of a
great and bitter strife became silent.
Groups of freshmen emerged from va
rious fraternity houses and walked in
silence to their rooms.
The war of the Greek letter organ
izations is over. ' The destructive artil
lery of the different fraternities has
spoken forth for the last time. The
huge muzzles smoulder in silence with
in their respective strongholds. Wisps
of gas and smoke linger in secluded
nooks a vivid reminder of the fore
going days when these perfumes of
Mars made dense the air on the Hill.
The battle is over, and there remains
now oirty the final rites of war the
pledges and the treaties.
Tomorrow morning many . freshmen
will be called on to make a decision
which will have a direct bearing on each
of the future years alloted them fn life.
"A much more Important decision than
the choosing of a wife" a wife can be
put away and divorced.
But the boys who are affected most,
and the ones who receive the sympathy
of each individual on the campus are
the unfortunate youths whose hearts
are all but broken by the keen disap
pointment on failing to receive their
cherished bid. There are innumerable
instances where a man has been taken
into a fraternity after . his freshman
year so tiie cause of such boys as are
mentioned above is not entirely hopeless.
200 Must Make
Richmond Trip
. In order to insure thajt the
special train to Richmond can be
operated without loss, it has
been announced that students
desiring to go to the Virginia
capital for the V. M. I.-Carolina
game Saturday must register by
noon today in the lobby of the
y. M. C. A. A book for students
to sign will be placed in- an
easily accessible place. In case
enough students do not desire to
make the trip to justify running ,
the train, the excursion will be
cancelled. ,
In view of the crushing de
feat administered to the Mary
land team Saturday,' a great
number of University students
are expected to make the trip
for the Kaydet game. The Tar
Heels have a clean S. I. C. rec
ord to date and the Richmond
game will be a hard fought con
test. ' The rounp trip fare has been
reduced to $6.52. Mr. Woollen
announces that 350 of the best
seats in Mayo Park have been
reserved for Carolina students
making the trip and will be put
on sale in Alumni Building
shortly.
In case the special will be run,
announcement will be posted
this afternoon in the Y lobby to
that effect. "J

Sunday afternoon brought to a close
the biggest and 'most successful session
in the history of the North Carolina
Baptist Student conference. This is the
fourth annual meeting of the conference,

church. There were between three hun

Shepherd
It is practically a universally accepted
fact that the choosing of fraternities is
a matter that should be considered from
an entirely selfish standpoint. It is im
possible for a freshman to hurt anyone
interested in him, by acting contrary to
the wishes of such a person, to the ex
tent that he can hurt himself by turn
ing down the fraternity he desires most
simply because some particular person
or persons urge him to do so.
An Instance of genuine friendship oc
curred recently when a certain frater
nity jnan refused to use his friendship
with a freshman as a means to prevent
the freshman from joining the frater
nity to which he felt himself best adapt
ed. ' :-l
It is learned that considerable bitter
ness has developed between various fra
ternities during the lost few days. It
is impossible for a rushing season which
is featured by cut-throat policies to pass
without such unfortunate conditions
arising. Such feelings in the past have
subsided in the course of time, and it is
generally felt that such will be the case
this year.
To date the new rushing system has
been an Improvement over the systems
formerly employed at the university. It
Is strongly hoped that no careless breach
of trust and honor will arise during the
period of silence which will annull and
make useless the labor of the men who
have endeavored so earnestly to put this
new plan over successfully and efficiently.
TAR BABIES WIN
ON WHITE FIELD
Down Virginia Frosh in Char
lottesville in Snowy Game.
SCORE IN SECOND HALF
Two Touchdowns Are Made in Last
Half of Slippery Setto.
Playing on a field covered with snow,
the Carolina yearlings last Saturday aft
ernoon defeated the young Virginia Cav
aliers in ' Charlottesville by the score of
13-0. This was the first time since Lam
beth Field was opened that a game has
been played in the snow.
In the first quarter both elevens bat
tled up and down the gridiron with
neither one being able to score. How
ever, in the second period the Tar Babies
pushed across two touchdowns. The
first one was due to a beautiful 43-yard
pass from Lassiter to Kelly, and the
second one was the result of a series
of line plunges after Carolina had re
covered a fumble on Virginia's 30-yard
line.
The Tar Babies showed a decided su
periority over their opponents through
out the entire contest, making seven first
downs to the Virginians' one. The young
Cavaliers barely missed a chance to score
when Garland Daniel, a product of the
Greensboro high school, went around end
for a gain of 17 yards only to trip and
fall in the snow on Carolina's 10-yard
line. This was the only! time that the
Tar Baby goal line was threatened.
' Captain Foard was the stellar per
former for the Carolina Frosh while
Daniels stood out for the Virginians.
An interesting thing about the. contest
was the fact that two North Carolina
boys, George Taylor and Garland Dan
iel, both of Greensboro, were in the young
Cavaliers' line-up. Three years agjo
they were1 outstanding athletes in North
Carolina high school circles, but for the
past two years they have been playing
for one of the leading prep schools in
the Old Dominion state, where they both
made enviable records. ' This year Tay
lor was elected as captain of the Vir
ginia yearlings by his : team-mates.

TAR HEELS CARRYING
CLEAN Si I. C. SLATE
Remain As One of Five Undefeated
Elevens No Conference Team Has
Yet Crossed Goal Llna.
The Tar Heels, by defeating Maryland
last Saturday, still remain as one of the
five undefeated elevens in the Southern
Conference. The other teams in the run
ning are Alabama, Virginia, Tulane, and
Washington and, Lee. ' Carolina has de
feated South Carolina, N. C 'State, and
Maryland, and as yet their goal line has
not been crossed by an S. L C. team.
The 'Fetzerites may not bel as strong as
some of the other Conference elevens
when it comes to piling up large scores,
but it is a certainty that no team has
bettered their defensive record.
The Tar Heels have only two more

American Author Reads and

POEMS OF NEW ENGLAND
University Fortunate In Having Op
portunity to Hear a Recognized
Leader in His Field.
On Friday night at 8:30 in Gerrard
Hall it was the privilege of a large group
of University students and sitizen of
Chapel Hill to attend a lecture by Rob
ert Frost, who ranks high among the
poets of America. Mr. Frost was In
troduced by Dean C. A. Hiblmrd, of the
liberal arts school, as tlie American
author who, considering tjii popularity
and prominence, had the Shortest state
ment in Who't Who. Mr. Frost's lecture
consisted chiefly of a selection of his
poems which he read in a voice resonant
with the twang of New Hampshire. In
addition to the reading he kept up a
running fire of scholarly criticism cou
pled with a! fund of . dry humor which
completely captivated his audience. Moat
of his work is done in straight iambic,
shading into dactylls and anapesta a
form perfectly suited to his subject mat
ter.' His lyrics also received well-merited
applause, but his examples of blank
verse monologue 'appeared to strike
slightly more responsive chord. All of
die ten selections dealt in some way with
the life or physical aspect of his beloved
New England.
He prefaced his first poem, The Load,
with the remark that it was Intended to '
familiarize his audience with the dialect
and accent of the New England farmer.
This, he asserted, with the third dialect
of which he was the master, the first be
ing his personal mode of talking and tha
second being a mode he acquired in Har
vard College. The poem, itself told tha
story of a hired man's revengs on an
irascible employer. The vers flowed
so easily that it left the impression of
a connected prose narrative. The sec
ond was a short rhymed pluy, The Gov't
in the Corn, which the poet stated w
his only venture into the realm of the
drama. It wus a .pleasing little jingle
in which even the stage directions en
tered into the rhyme scheme and set forth
in an amusing manner the proverbial
acuteness of the New England mind.
This was followed by a poem which many
people and most critics consider one of
his three best, Mending Wall. It brglus
with the familiar line, ''Something ther
is that does not like a wall," and mir
rors the character of a man who insists

SECOND CONCERT
GREATLY ENJOYED

Miss Rosa Warren Makes Fa
vorable Impression on
Audience.
BY MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith McCorkle Present
One of Beethoven's Sonatas.
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock tba
University music department presented
tne second of its popular series of eon
certs. The featured performer of tha
afternoon was Miss Rosa Warren of
Durham. Miss Warren Is the possessor
of an unusually clear soprano voice
which made quite a favorable impression
on her audience. She was accompanied
on the piano by Paul John Weaver. In
addition to Miss Warren's songs, Mr.
and Mrs. T. Smith McCorkle, also of the
University music staff, presented one of
Beethoven's better known four move
ment sonatas arranged for violin and
piano.
Miss Warren opened with Awalct Mf
Heart To Gladnett, by Densraore. Thia
was an excellent choice, as the ecatati
harmony which Densmora breathed iato
tills paean of spiritual triumph : leant
well to the strong ringing timbre of tha
soloist's voice. As she reached without
an effort the final exultant note the au
dience became fired with enthusiasm.
She followed this with The Wind, by
Spross, probably to demonstrate that
she could handle a complex bit of imag
inative" subtlety as easily as a more
heavily stressed and high pitched com
position. Her endition of Spross' work
left little to be desired. At her com
mand the wind tore the air in cold, hard
fury, ran the gamut of aerial emotion
and died away in a sobbing musical
monotone. Danny Boy, an old Irish folk
tune, spoke 'In sprightly cadences of the
gay, irrepressible soul of the Emerald
Isle. Shurply etched notes followed ona
