CHAPEL HILL HIGH DEFEATS RALEIGH Capital City Lads Nosed Out In HardjFought Battle TOUCHBACK ONLY SCORE Raleigh Driven Out of Scoring Terri tory On Three Occasions ';" ', Chapel Hill Highs nosed out the Ra leigh eleven yesterday afternoon on Em erson 'field in a hartl and bitterly fought contest, taking the big end of a 2 to 0 count and thus emerging as the cham pions of their group. . The game was hotly contested throughout and both teams showed remarkable fight and,, de termination as the narrow margin of Victory, indicates. The lads from the capital city opened up with a drive in the very first quarter that three times threatened the Chapel Hill goal, but the -local team proved equal to the assaults. The first Raleigh threat came as a result of a beautiful run by-Sailey, who slipped around end for twenty yards before he was brought down on Chapel Hill's twenty-yard line. Here, however, an ' intercepted pass stopped the "visitor's . drive, but Chapel Hill's punt was weak and Raleigh was soon again in. 'scoring distance, driving to the fifteen yard line. Here an at tempted drop kick was broken up and Chapel Hill punted out again. But Ra leigh once more carried the ball down into the ' danger lone where they were finally stopped . by another' intercepted pass. ' t . ' This opening spurt ended any danger ous threat of the visiting team iintil late in the fourth quarter, while the eleven of the local high school hammered away consistently at the Raleigh defense until their efforts were rewarded in the middle of the third quarter. At this )oint Pcndergraft took in a long pass whlch netted thirty yards and put the hall on Raleigh's eight-yard line. Here the visitors showed a wonderful fighting spirit when they held for downs, but their attempt to punt went out of hounds in the end zone and was recov ered by Chapel Hill for safety. . For Raleigh Bailey at quarter and Saddler at end were the outstanding performers, while Paulsen and Pender Braft did the most consistent work for Chapel Hill. The victory gives the Chapel Hill ttftm the championship for their respective group and they will Probably meet the winner of the San-ford-Rockingham game in the next con test of the elimination series.

' "13" CLUB DANCE ENJOYABLE EVENT Acclaimed the Most Successful Event Ever Staged By "13" Club. MANY VISITORS ATTEND Much Pep Added td Occasion by Pres ence of Pretty Girls. The "13" club dance held last night in Bynum gymnasium fulfilled the most optimistic of expectations. Numerous visitors arrived from far and near increasing the interest and the success of the affair. Those who journeyed to the Hill with the idea of attending the most: joyous series of social events to be presented on the campus this season have been far from dissapointed to date. The dance last night is unanimously ac-; claimed tiie best and most successful attraction presented by the "13" club since, the founding of the order. The figure was executed without noticeable mishap, and, for a change, was easily distinguishable. A more attractive and more fitting assortment of feminine visitors could hardly have been expected. It : would in nowise be a partial statement to ex cess the opinion that each gaily rigged damsel received more than an average share of attention. Despite the fact that there was noth ing singular about the weather condi tions there appeared to be no end of conversation and wise-crack material, with trfdays game claiming the ma jority of comments. It is an astounding fact that the dunce was well under way by 10:45. Hal Kemp and his noted producers mana ged at all times to keep their pep a horn's length ahead of the dancers. The music furnished by the Carolina boys excelled even the former successful ex hibitions that the orchestra has furif ished this year. Perhaps the most favorable character istic of the dance .was the fact that, ad mission was by invitation, the number of boys did not exceed the girls to the overwhelming extent that, is usually the .'

Despite such overwhelming odds, however, the wear ers of the snake are making it an ex tremely happy affair for their feminine guests. A reception was given in honor of the members of the house party Friday af ternoon and this morning at eleven o' clock the fair visitors will skin back the papers in a bridge contest which will later adjourn to the Inn for lunch. The Sigma Nus have done ' much towards furthering the success of the social events on the Hill this week-end by enticing such an attractive group of visitors to the campus at a most oppor tune date. - .

CARL VAN DOREN WILL LECTURE HERE FRIDAY Eminent Lecturer, Editor, and Author Will Feature Fall Lecture Pro gram Literary Editor. The public lecture season in Chapel Hill, so favorably .launched' by Barrett Clark and Robert Frost, continues with a lecture next Friday evening, Nov, 20, by Dr. Carl Van Doren, the versatile editor, author, and professor, according to announcement made public by Dr. J. F. Royster, chairman of the Univer sity Lecture Committee, and Prof. J. M. Booker, friend of the noted lecturer. Dr. Van Doren is one of the most prominent lecturers of the country and is equally well known as a writer and editor. In 1919 he became literary edi tor of the Nation, subsequently resign ing to assume a similar post on the Cen tury, which position he holds today.

When the freshman football team was dofeated by the University of Florida yearlings at Lakeland, Fla., on Armis tice Day, they completed a very suc cessful season, having won three and lost two contests, and scoring a total of 62 points to the opponents' 31. From every angle, the season was -a very successful one, and the Tar Babies had by far the best first-year team in the state and one of the best in the entire South.- When the first call for practice was issued buck in September, over 100 can didates reported to Coaches "Runt" Lowe and Grady Pritchard. Out of this material the two former Carolina stars, by tireless effort and wonderful coach ing, molded together one of the best freshman elevens that has ever repre sented the University. In only the South Carolin game was there more than one touchdown scored on the Tar Babies, and each one of the Biddies' touchdowns was scored on freak plays, which were the result of the breaks of the game. Even though they were vietorious7 they were clearly out played as is evidenced by the fact that the, Tar Babies made 14 first downs as compared to four for South Carolina. The Carolina. Frosh opened their sea son on Emerson Field against the strong freshman team of the University of Maryland and defeated them on a rain soaked field by the overwhelming score of 21-0. The team displayed a versatile attack and a well-oiled machine, con sidering the fact that it was the open ing game of the season. -. After the two home games with Mary land and South Carolina, the Tar Babies journeyed up to Charlottesville and de feated the University of Virginia Frosh by the score of 13-0, the game being played on a field covered with snow. On the following Saturday the team went over to Raleigh and defeated the State Wolflets by the score of 22-6, the Tar Babies running wild over the' only North Carolina team on their schedule. On KEENER DELIVERS OPENING ADDRESS PRESS GATHERING College Writers Hear Fine Talk On Life As a Journalist ADJOURNS NOON TODAY Enjoyable Banquet Last N'ight at Caro Una Inn Crpwning Social Event of the Convention The tenth semi-annual meeting of the North Carolina Collegiate Press Asso ciation was opened with an address by W. N. , Keener, editor of the Durham Herald, in ihe Dialectic assembly hall Thursday night. Mr. Keener's address marked the opening of a three clay ses sion of the association which comes to Chapel Hill as the guests of the Publi cations Union, and will' last Until after the Grail, dance in Swain Hall Satur day night. The feature of the meeting yesterday was the relentless flaying of the prac tice f some institutions in censoring their student publications by ' faculty committees. The assembly thought that more freedom of the college press is necessary for the proper development Of the publications of the institution. Keener Addresses Meeting The speaker was introduced by E. G. Moore, of State college, who is presi dent of the association this year. Mr. Keener prefaced his remarks with the statement that the hardest assign ment, any speaker can be given is to talk to a college audience. In this, opin ion he is supported by no less an auth ority than Max Gardner who has also found " it difficult to acclimate himself to collegiate atmosphere. "I have chos en no special topic for tonight", said Mr. Keener, "for newspaper work is a conglomeration of practically evry subject.". He- first mentioned the fact that in his college days the campus publica tions were more troubled by their finan cial shortcomings and tended to ignore the question of acceptable material. If enough copy was on hand to fill an is sue it went in and very little thought was given to its quality. Now it is diiferent. Financial difficulties have been somewhat cut down and the editors put more time on turning out a paper or a magazine whose contents will be a credit to their school. The material is immeasurably better and at times ap proaches real literature. As examples Continued on page three) Raoas Armistice Day the Florida Frosh were hosts to the Carolina yearlings at Lake land. After a hard-fought .and gruel ling contest in which all kinds of -football were ' exhibited, the Baby 'Gators, led by Captain Joe Boyer, former Rock ingham high school stavswon over the Tar Babies by the score of 6-0. This game concluded a very successful season. An interesting thing about the Caro lina Freshman team was the fact that 20 out of the first 22 men on thesquad were North Carolina boys. The two exceptions were Marginoff, the , 245 pound tackle from Charleston, S. p., and Kelly,' the big fullback from Tennessee. The team was led by Edison Foard, of Charlotte, who was picked for the mythical All-Southern high school eleven in 1923. He was the scoring ace of the Carolina team and undoubtedly oneof the best halfbacks in the state. He was a deadly tackier and a wonderful brok en field runner. Foard's running mate was Harry Las. siter, also of Charlotte, and a former Woodberry prep star. Lassiter was a great defensive player and his passing and punting were all that could be de sired. r "Steve" Furches who calls Statesville his home, ran the team at -quarterback. The little fellow ran the team smoothly at all times and it seemed as though he had the knack of knowing just what play to run at the right time. At fullback was Kelly, whose native state is Tennessee. Although he was not called on to carry the pigskin very often he always made three or four yards every time he hit the line. He wus probably the best line plunger on the teain.- Cifu Hackney, Henry Sottcrfield, and Tob Cox also got in most of the games as bockfleld men and all showed up exceptionally well. Satterfield was especially good at broken field running. At the pivot position was stationed Harry Swartz, of Charlotte, a member (Continued on page four.) , BILLY DEVIN K , : ; -'.

BELL ASSAULTS BREARD Resents Neophyte's Interruption of Major Swan's Talk in Chapel. Yesterday morning at Chapel meet ing a rather unfortunate affair took place on the steps of Memorial Hall. Those principally concerned were Mr. Hal Breard, who was being initiated into the local chapter of Siguia Upsilon national fraternity, and Frank J. Bell, assistant to Dean Bradshaw. -Mr. Breard together with three 'other neo phytes, P. N. Olive, J. A. Hebert and M. L. Radoff, went to chapel dressed in the motley garb which Sigma Upsilon always inflicts upon its pledges. At the time of their arrival Major Swan had just commenced his final talk of the long series he has been giving here. Mr. Olive walked quietly down the isle and took a seat on the front row, closely followed by Mr. Radoff. Major Swan was justly annoyed by this ill-timed in terruption and requested that the others remain outside, which they did. When the tulk was over the two initiates im mediately went up and' apologized to Major Swan who accepted it laugh ingly, saying that he realized it was only a fraternity initiation but he didn't care to have the attention of his audi ence distracted. Previously Mr. Bell who had been seated upon the platform, got up and went out of the window which leads from the platform to the rear of Mem orial Hall. From there he walked around to the front steps and went up to Mr. Breard who had remained out side at the request of Major Swan. He first demanded his name and then or dered him to move on. Mr. Breard turned to go and Mr. Bell kicked him in the back, throwing him down the steps, fracturing one bone in his arm, and dislocating another. Mr. Breard was. placed under ether in the after noon and his arm set. ' Mr. Bell later ex plained his action by saying that lie thought the initiates came to chupel with the intention of insulting the speaker, Major Swan.

EXPECT RECORD CROWD FOR VIRGINIA CLASSIC Additional Stands Being Erected to take Care of Visitors at Game On Thanksgiving Day Expecting a record-breaking crowd of more than 15,000 attending the Virginia Carolina annual classic, the University authorities are urging all alumni and fans expecting to be in the stands for the great game to purchase their tickets us soon rs possible from the legitimate sources to keep from having to pay the sculper's prices later on. The price for a reseurved seat is $2.00, with a tax of 20 cents added to the mail orders. v All orders must be in by the l(Jth. Additional temporary stands are being built onto the ones already standing to care for the greatest crowd in Chapel Hill since the inauguration of the out standing classic. It is believed that one of the largest football crowds in the South will be In Chupel Hill for the Thanksgiving gamc,-for besides being a state- title contest, if Carolina wins, the Univprsity will rank second for the southern title. J A holiday will be given at both institutions for the game and Virginia promises to have as many root ers on bund as the University. With the paving of the four main, streets of Chupel Hill, the heretofore awkward congestion experienced by the visitors will not be felt. AH the rooms of the Carolina Inn have been engaged for the three hectic days before, during and after the con test. However, with the opening of the Washington Duke Hotel in Durham it is hoped that everyone will find suitable accommodations for the affair.
