CAROLINA FORCES MUSTER TO MEET VIRGINIA ELEVEN Thanksgiving Game On Emer son Field Expected to Be Keenly Contested. FETZERS DESERVE PRAISE Number of Spectators Expect It to Set New South Atlantic Record For Attendance. By Brown Shepherd For week carpenters have labored to construct seats In every posible nook on Emerson Field that will afford the oc cupants a view of the struggle which will take place Thanksgiving Day, Ac comodations have been provided to seat fifteen thousand spectators. The number of tickets purchased to date excel all for mer sales of reserved seats for an ath Utic contest at the University. Of the total number only about one thousand seats remain to be ' sold. Indications point to an attendance total which will set a new record for football games among the South Atlantic States. Tar Heels Optimistic Alumni and supporters of the blue and white are awaiting the combat with keen est interest Thirty times have the wear ers of the Carolina colors facedUhe Blue and Gold on the gridiron. Nineteen games have ended to the tune of that ancient Virginia ditty, "WahooWah." Thursday thousands of Tar Heel advo cates will journey to the Hill in poses sion of the comforting opinion that Car- olla stock has risen to a degree unequal led since the passing of "Red" Johnson and the "wonder team" of "22. On paper the Tar Heel's edge of the rasor is doped to be slightly keener than that of the Old Dominion Warriors. Both Maryland and V. M. L were flat tened a slight degree deeper into the turf by the onrushlng Carolinians than they were by the dogged cleats of the Virginia eleven. , Such an advantage serves only to create a source for op timism. Authorities are of the opinion that the final score of the 1925 struggle between the keen and bitter .rival rests to a large extent in the hands of the god of breaks. . Both Teams Stronger Both Carolina and Virginia have teams of much higher calibre and of more ver- satile offense than the two elevens that trotted onto Lambeth Field last Thanks giving Day amidst the applause of Tar Heels and Old Dominion supporters. If authority may be based upon the statements of Virginia sport editors, the Charlottesville lads have the strongest material that has composed a Virginia eleven for ten years. In addition Coach Neal baa a wealth of competent reserve material to insert in the line-up should occasion arise. The system of plays em ployed by Neal's proteges is both flashy and intricate. Those who witness the team in action next Thursday will be hold an offense cleverly veiled and dan gerously powerful. ' Carolina Not Second Choice.

LIBRARY TRAINING URGED BY WILSON Resolution Is Passed Calling on State Department to Aid. WORLD COURT FAVORED Dean Carroll Discusses Benefits of , Libraries to Business Men. As a result of the efforts of Dr. Louis R. Wilson, head of the University li brary a resolution was passed by the State Library Association which met here last week establishing a teacher- librarian certificate, which is to be awarded by the state department of education upon the completion of prop er normal .courses in library as well as educational subjects. This resolution was passed in an effort to emphasize the importance of, and .increase the use of elementary and high school li braries. The basis of Dr. Wilson's argument in urging the passing of such a resolution was the need of training for those teach ers who are placed in charge of the school libraries Jn order that the maxi mum value may be got from the few books now in those libraries. The unanimous passage of a second resolution was obtained through the ef forts of Miss Annie F. Petty. This the new president of a committee of resolution required the appointment by three, which committee is to carefully study all proposals for library extension worki acting subject to the call of the executive committee. Another resolution was passed unani mously, urging the conviction of the as sociation upon congress that the United States should enter the world tourt un der the conditions laid down by Hard- ins and Hughes. Dean Dudley D. Carroll, of the school of commerce of the University, e-ave the principal address of the after noon session. Dean Carroll portrayed K wrinmcal benefits from close co operation between business men nubile libraries. He said that business men should give liberal support to their library out of pure self preservation. Business of today is based upon sta- tistal data, charts and graphs, wnicn are available in public libraries. Infor mation concerning all forms of Industry Is placed on the reading shelves of all libraries. ' " . Dean Carroll's address instituted in- fofino discussions, as a result oi which many Interesting facts were dis covered. , It was revealed that there are only enght libraries in the state with full-time librarians in charge; tnai me (Continutd on pag too) TENNIS TEAM TO MEET VA.

' GLEE CLUB IS VINDICATED Joint Meeting Also Discusses Change of Meeting Night and Wrest ling Coach. Some of the "old timers" who so fre quently bemoan the lapse of interest since the "good old days" in the Di and Phi Societies would have been greatly encouraged had they witnessed the heat ed discussions which took place in the Phi Hall last Saturday night when the Dia lectic Senate and the Philanthropic As sembly met for their first joint meeting of the ear, and the second in their his tory. At this meeting it was demonstrated that the importance of the two societies which were once, we are told, such a pow erful factor on the campus, is not yet entirely passed. For not In many moons has such spirited interest and such keen competition to gain hearing on the floor. Speaker Couch, probably for the first time during his term of office, was forced to tax his judgment to the utmost in or der to award recognition to the first men on their feet and he was not able to put a stop to the discussion until a full half hour after the regular time of adjourn ment. ' The bombshell which caused such a stir among the campus Senators and repre resentatives was the last of three reso lutions discussed, namely, "Be it firmly resolved, that the Di and Phi In joint session go on record as favoring the ac tion of the University Glee Club in the Hampton Institute affair. ; This bill was introduced by R. M. Hardee, a member of the glee club ahd a participant in the incident. In introducing his resolution Hardee briefly outlined some of the crit icisms of the club recently voiced in some of the Virginia dailies. He stated that the concert was to a great extent an effort to familiarise the members of the dub with negro music, which may only be studied at first hand. A graduate student, Moser, asserted that, the Glee Club, led by Mr. Weaver, pulled off the most disgusting and hu miliating thing that has ever happened since' his sue years at U. N. C. He said that Mr. Weaver could not explain the affair and should be fired off the facul ty. In conclusion he stated that he was forced to hang his head in shame ana hoped nothing similar would ever occur aealn. Owens believed that the Ulee Club was not justified, that white audi ences would have enjoyed it and received as much from the Glee Club as the ne groes did, and that the Glee Club lead er had piade a big mistake. Stewart, a former student at Dart mouth, continued the argument by say ing, "We are not superior to nor even equal to the negro if we cannot give and receive from him. We must promote re lations between the races by co-operation and the Glee Club is a good way in (Continued on pag two) HI FOOTBALL SERIES APPROACHING FINALS Chapel Hill Meets Sanford Here To dayOther Important Games ot Series to Be Played.' Three tie games, two in the East and one in the West, during last week, marr ed the progress of the state high school football championship elimination series, At the beginning of last week four teams from the East,. Wilmington, San ford, Chapel Hill, and Rocky Mount, and four teams from the West, Winston-Sa lem. Monroe, Grensboro, and Gastonia, all group champions, remained in tne contest. It was expected that the games of the last week would pave the way for the finals In determining the champions of the East and West this week, but the three draw games put. to flight those hopes. This will necessitate six of the ight remaining teams, to play a coupic of games this week. , In the East, Sanford and Uhapei nm hattled to a scoreless stand-still at Dur ham, while Wilmington and Rocky Mount were equally as unsuccessful in getting a scoring advantage over the other and mhm thev came out of the fray at Mount Olive each held a goose egg. But in the West things fared better for Gastonia whrn thev beat Winston-Salem 8 to &x while at Greensboro another scoreless tie was the result of the game between Mon roe and Greensboro. Since the Eastern and Western Cham pions must be determined this week, the ti mimes thru-out the state will be play ed off today. Sanford and Chapel Hill will play here today on Emerson Field: (Continued on pag three) YOUTH DEFENDED BY VAN DOREN Speaks on "Pioneers and the New Youth." ANALYZES THREE BOOKS Plays American Standardization, Fun damentalism, and Hundred , Percentism. - "The New Youth movemet of today is not original with this generation, but is the embodied spirit of the old pioneers breaking out in revolt against standard' inzation", declared Carl Van Doren in a lecture on "The Pioneers and the. New Youth," which he delivered in Gerrard Hall Friday night. ' In introducing tlje speaker of the even ing, Professor John T. Booker of the University English department said thai it was his privilege to present the Van Dorens Van Doren the literary editor of the Century Magazine, Van Doren the critic, Van Doren the lecturer, Van Dor en the translator, and Van Doren the pedagogue. Mr. Van Doren has at one time or another performed with disA Unction in each of these fields, and his talk gave further evidence of his remark-? able vessatility. His style was entirely individual and he was at once convinc ing, witty, profound, and thoroughly de lightful. V . , Mr. Van Doren opened his lecture by pointing out that the present New Youth movement is not, as many think, alto gether a product !of our own times. In each succeeding generation there has been a group of young people who strive to be free from binding conventions and retain ', . (Continued on page four) HARRIERS WILL MEET VA. TRACKMEN THURS.

Day after tomorrow on Emerson Field five, and possibly six, of Carolina's vet erans will take the field for the last (timi members' of the Tar Heel varsity. The Thanksgiving classic will mark the beginning of ineligibility for five of the varsity and the sixth, who graduates this year, may. not return to school next fall Of these men four are backs and two are linemen. The backfield men playing their last game of their college careers are: Em mett Underwood, who has crashed into the ranks of stardom during the preseni season, Billy Davin, Rabbit Bonner and George Sparrow. In the line the Fetzet brothers will lose Captain Herman Mc- Iver and possibly George Robinson. The passing of two of these men from the football stage will mark the final exit of the members of the famous Tar j Heel team of 1922 which will long bt remembered in the annals of Carolina at the "Wonder team" which fought itt way to the undisputed possession of thi South Atlantic championship and held Yale's bulldogs to the low count of U to 0. These two men are Captain Mc Iver, who held down a berth as tackle and George Sparrow, who was reserve quarterback. ! ; Mclver has played the most consistent game of his career as pilot of this year'k team, rounding out a brilliant record ol a full four years as a varsity linesman He Is evpected to be one of the bulwark, of the Tar Heel defense Thursday. George Sparrow, besides acting as field general of the teams has been for the last two years its most consistent punt er, his toe many times booting the bail out of danberous- territory. George Robinson may return for a last year of football under the Fetier broth ers next year, but it Is doubtful, as he js considering forsaking the gridiron for the bar. ,If be does not return he will leave behind him the enviable, record of having risen in two years from the rank ing of a substitute to that of a candidate (Continued on pag two) MiiT ATTRACTS CROW FOR DEDICATION Dedicate First Theatre -Build) ing of Its Kind in Ameicr .
