LARGEST CROWD IN HISTORY TO WITNESS AFFAIR Five and-Possibly Six Tar Heels Will End Brilliant Football Careers in Annual Classic. CAVALIERS WON LAST YEAR Old Dominion Team Has Won Nine teen and Tied Two of the Last Twenty-Nine Games. Today at 2 o'clock a shrill whistle will sound to send 22 well trained men at each other's throats in a struggle that promises to be one of the battles of the century. For four quarters, one hour actual playing time, eleven men wearing the Blue and White of Carolina will bend every effort toward the utter annihilation of eleven other men carry ing the Orange and Blue of the Old Dominion. ' For two months thoughts of this game have sent over a hundred men in the two enemy ' camps into two or more hours of grilling practice daily in prep aration for this one game. Although the season has been interspersed for both teams with other games, sometimes re sulting in victory, and sometimes in de feat, the one idea" has been "beat Vir ginia" or -""on to Carolina" as the case may have been. - Today all that pent-up spirit that has carried those scrapping Tar Heels and Cavaliers through the two months of hard work under a burning sun or in a sea of mud and grime will be let loose in one glorious hour of modern foot ball. While 20,000 grid fans watch from the packed stands of Emerson Field the Universities of North Carolina and Vir ginia will renew their ancient rivalry on the gridiron. Tar Heels Stack Up With Edge On the verge of the battle the pre game edge, if such there be, leans toward the camp" of the Tar Heels; but what is edge when a determined and well trained team in . the enemy camp says "They shall not win"? After all, when two ancient rivals meet the records of the two teams had as well be cast into the discard. It is the, old' fighting spirit that will carry the winning team to vic tory, with training and ability counting their share in the sum" total that is told in the score. The Tar Heels have the edge on the basis of comparative scores. - Virginia won from Maryland 6 to 0 without Cap tain Carter Diffey in the line-up. Caro lina won from the Old Liners by the count of 16 to 0 with six of the first and second string backs on the hospital list. V. M. I. lost to Virginia 18 to 10, Caro lina clipped the wings of the Flying Squadron 23 to 11. The Tar Heels also lead the Cavaliers in average weight of the. team, of the line, and of the backfield, and as the two teams enter the battle the Tor Heels are in better physical condition than are the invaders. The Carolina team averages 173 compared To the 167 average of the (Continued on pagt four) DEAN HOWELL'S FEAT RECALLED Downed Cavaliers For Second Time in History in 1898. " SOUTHERHCHAMPIONSHIP Will Be In Stands Today Pulling For Another Carolina Victory. With all eyes turned this afternoon toward Emerson Field and the annual . Carolina-Virginia tilt to take place there it Is interesting to hark back with some of the old grads and reminicence over games of the past. Probably one of the most interesting and outstanding of these former clashes was that between the ancient rivals in Richmond in 1898 when, for the second time in history, Virginia went down in defeat to the Tar Heels to the score of 6 to 2. The scene of the encounters was . not shifted to the home grounds of the two Participants until after the war1ttnd that year, as was the ense many times, Richmond secured the game.

CHASE SPEAKS AT THEATRE OPENING President Praises Koch and His Cohorts for Achievements. PHOTOGRAPHS EXHIBITED Add Artistic Touch to Lounge Room Taken by Mrs. Moulton. There were'several interesting features connected with the recent Playmakers dedication performance in addition to the introductory speech by , Professor Koch. President Chase came upon the stage with the Playmakers mentor and followed his talk with a short address of his own. He saids ''Through the joint action of the Carnegie Corporation and the University, this building has been made available as a permanent home for the Carolina Playmakers. That it will be worthily used by the extraordinary achievement of the Playmakers during the years gives every assurance. We therefore dedicate it tonight in the con fidence that it may make possible about our common life a little more of the stuff that dreams are made of; that its exist ence here shall mean a little less monot ony, a little more glamor about our days; that the horiions of imagination shall by its presence here be enlarged so that we shall come more steadily to see the place of beauty and of its hand-maiden, art, in a civilisation not too much given to its encouragement. To sucb purposes this building, the first permanent provision for any of the fine arts at the Univer- (Continued on pagt thrtt) for Today's Game 1 x EMMETT UNDERWOOD In Emmett Underwood, University of North Carolina halfback, the Tar Heels have a triple-threat man of no small ability. Underwood is playing his final year on the Tar Heel varsity, but it was only this fall that he found him self. His kicking, running and passing are now features of the Tar Heel offense. CAROLINA WINS IN ANNUAL TENNIS MEET The Tar Heel tennis team started the Thanksgiving season right by winning their annual dual meet with ' Virginia here this afternoon 4 matches to three. The Tar Heels by winning four of the singles matches took an early lead that the Cavalier netmen were never able to head, though the Cavaliers came back strong and took both of the doubles matches. : An air of chance was given the meet when the two doubles teams playing the final matches were unable to con clude their three set match because of darkness. ' Deadlocked at one set each they tossed a coin to decide the score, with Virginia winning the toss. A summary of the meet with the win ners and scores follows; Whitaker, (C) defeated Thirtell (V) 6- 2, 6-3. - Elgin (Cf defeated Wilmer, (V) 8-6, 7- 5. Spencer (V) defeated Cone (C) 6-3, 13-11.

I PLAYERS RENDER MEDIOCRE BILL FOR DEDICATION Initial Performance in New Theatre Proves Dis 1 appointment. QUARE MEDICINE IS BEST Claudius Mintz Plays Excellent Role As Old Man Jerniganln This Play. By -The Green Room - Monday night the Playmakers Theatre was dedicated with a program of three native works of art amid due pomp and ceremony. Somehow the reviewer was struck by the resemblance which the whole affair bore to a funeral. The Uni versity orchestra opened with slow mu sic i Professor Koch and President Chase made solemn, complimentary orations; then that piece de resistance of all fun erals, the corpse, was brought on in three parts. In this case it was the poor bleeding corpse of Art at 'Carolina. The trio of amateurish efforts offered Mon day night proved that even such a highly tooted organization as the Playmakers can do little with practically worthless material. Out of the Past was simply dull and lifeless, Yon Bide o' Bunk Creek was an abortive attempt at high tragedy, and Quare Medicins was crude slapstick. Now for a more detailed account. The only feeling aroused by Out of the Past was a feeling of pity for the actors who were forced to go through with the thing. Impossible lines were not enhanced by equally impossible direc tion... It seems to be a local stage tra dition that all Southern people of the period preceding the war stalked haugh tily about mouthing high-flown senti ments and fiery anathemas against the "damned Yankees" which were couched in terms of ridiculous pomposity. Evi dently Miss Gray was not one to see tradition abused. The whole cast,' even to a luckless wight representing a col lege sophomore, was burdened with speeches which took "all prizes for stupid and meaningless bombast.

Dr. Way is looked, upon far and wide as one of the strongest men in thfe Epis copal church and is. one of the most widely known. He has been rector of the Grace church for the past twenty-one years.

CHAPEL HILLIANS ASKED TO LEAVE CARS AT HOME Will Aid Greatly in Solving Traffic Problem Due to Large Number of Cars on Hill. Residents of Chapel Hill are urged to leave their cars at home on Tanksgiv ing Day. Postal cards have recently been mailed out by the Thanksgiving Day traffic committee to the various Chapel Hillians strongly recommending that they do this. It will take anyone going to the game in an automobile, that is, if he lives in Chapel Hill, much longer to get home than if he should walk. This is a known fact, and anyone attending the game in previous years in a car has certainly found it to be the case. Two years ago, for instance, one citizen drove to the game, parked in the middle of the cam pus, and was one hour and forty-five minutes getting home after the game. The absence of home cars will help great ly, moreover, as every square foot of space available in town and on the cam pus will be needed for parking out-of-town cars. A number of freshmen have been se lected to help in controling traffic, and each will be given a side-line seat during the game. One man will be stationed (Continued on pagt four) Country's Second Oldest Football Rivalry Today HERMAN McIVER Captaip Herman Mclver, with Sparrow, one of the members of that 1922 team that still wears Carolina colors.

ZETA PSI CHAMPS IN TAG FOOTBALL Defeat "F" to Win University Championship. ' a , j GAME IS HARD FOUGHT The Fraternity Champs Win by The Aerial Route.

The weatllfcr was exceedingly cold but this did not put a damper on the spirits of the two teams. They both battled up and down the chalked arena for for ty minutes like Trojans and a large part of the playing was of a sensational na ture. The game opened with "F" kicking to Zeta Psi. On the first play, Barber at tempted a forward pass which was in tercepted by "F". The Zeta Psi team held like a stone wall and Brandl was forced to punt, the pigskin rolling over htlie goal line. The Fraternity champions took the oval on the 20-yard line, and, Barber's pass was intercepted by Brandl. Captain Simpson passed to Wal ters for a first down. The Zeta Psi line was again almost impregnable and Simpson attempted to punt, but his kick was blocked, "F" recovering. The fra ternity team again held and another "F" punt was blocked, Zeta Psi recovering this time. "Red" Barber shot a pass to Rouse for a first down. The sorrel topped lad again passed to Wilson for another first down. The third consecu tive first down was registered when a pass from Barber to N. Johnston was completed. The dormitory line then braced and the ball went over to them on downs. Simpson attempted a pass which was intercepted by Nash John ston. Barber then shot a long pass to H. Johnston for the first touchdown of the contest. Captain Barber added the extra point by a successful drop-kick. The first half ended without any more scoring. The final period began with Zeta Psi kicking off to Simpson. Barber inter cepted a pass and then tossed one to Nash for a gain of 35 yards. The final touchdown of the game was registered when N. Johnston received a pass from Barber behind the goal. Barber's drop- kick was again successful. Toy kicked off to Humphries and on the first play Barber intercepted a pass. The fraternity team failed to gain and Barber was forced to punt. On the first play, Brandl kicked to Barber who ran the ball back for a distance of 25 yards. Barber shot a beautiful pass to Toy for a gain of 30 yards. Barber passed over the goal and "F" received the oval on the 20-yard line.

NOTABLES WILL LEND POMP Freshmen Friendship Council Will Act As Guides, Check Parcels, and Maintain Information Bureaus. Never before in the history of the Carolina-Virginia series has such a crowd gathered to view the classic as is ex pected to fill the streets, the dormi tories, and the nooks and corners of the campus today. Fully 20,000' football fans will pack the stands and bleachers of Emerson Field this afternoon, with the vanguard drifting to their seats long before the time for the game. Many notables will be numbered in this gathering, including Governor and Mrs. McLean, of North Carolina; Gov ernor and Mrs. E. Lee Trinkle, of Vir ginia; President and Mrs. Chase, of the University, and other high officials of state. A special box will be roped off and reserved for these notables, and these seals will be held from the rush of the rest of the crowd. Less fortunate than these will be the people who buy the tickets for standing room and rush seats at the gate. More than 14,000 tickets had been sold up to Tuesday night, with orders pouring into the graduate manager's olBceevery hour, and casualties may result in the scram ble for the best points to view the battle. Arrangements for Handling the Crowd With a crowd of 20,000 in town for the game historic Chapel Hill will face problems in traffic management and gov ernment such as never bothered the offi cials of the town and University before. A special force of police has been ar ranged for the day, with a number of men drafted from the police forces, of. Greensboro, Raleigh and Durham. Spe cial parking space for the Iurge number of cars has been marked off and will be properly arranged so as to make it easy as possible for the owners to get their cars out of the jam and get started away immediately after the game. The Freshman Friendship ' Council, which rendered such valuable service two years ago, will again assist In handling the crowds, acting as guides, maintain ing an information bureau and a check room for parcels. A rest room for the ladies will be kept open all day in the Law building under competent super vision, and provisions for meals will be made at the numerous eating places in town. Swain Hall will serve dinner to the regular boarders early in order to cater to the out of town visitors later in the day. Tradition Renders the Occasion of Great Importance The long history of the Carolina-Virginia rivalry lends an air ff tradition to the game that does not attribute to the importance of any other contest on the Tar Heel schedule. Only one old rivalry in the country has a longer his tory than that between the Tar Heeis and Cavaliers, which was begun in 1892. The Vale-Harvard annual gridiron dis pute began several years, earlier. Twenty-nine times over a period of 33 years the two Universities have met (Continued on pagt thrtt) BIG PEP MEETING HERE LAST NIGHT Pickwick Delays Show For Big Gathering. PRESIDENT CHASE TALKS Short Talks Also by Fetzer, Hender son, Coates, and Reeves. One of the biggest pep meetings ever pulled off on the University campus was held last night from 6:30 to 7:H preparatory to the game today. Cheer ing was the best ever and Indications are that the spirit today will equal, If not surpass, that at any of the Carolina Virginia games in the past. President Chase in a short talk told of the history of games played by the Carolina football team in past years. Coach Bob Fetzer emphasized the im portance of clean sportsmanship and the necessity of cheering was spoken of by "Scrubby" Reaves.
