' We Hpere d efore the game that Mr. Cirter Diffey was a very sick man and would hardly be able to play, jow we think Mr. Woollen shbuldjnake those Virginians sign a contct never again to play any of theiljj injured players against us. We onlry rejoice that the visitors didn't ftiive four sick Diffeys in their backficld. ' . . , iCO-EDVIOKING Bryiif lMayr has openly recognized that th students there smoke and set aside a( ftmoking room for their con venienjfta jThe State Superintendent of EduaJionJor the State of North Carolina expresses his opinion that the female colleges throughout the country ?)fit.iveiitually do likewise. The University of North Carolina at present permits its students to smoke privately. The colleges for girls throughout the state declare em phatically that no smoking is allowed. les, some of the co-eds smoke here. And we' doubt if there isa female institution in the state where smoking does not go on to a limited degree. Smoking in polite circles in North Carolina, and in the South generally, has not yet become established as proper for women. Only in such re sorts where the barbarians from north of the Mason and Dixon line gather, is the custom recognized as being at all becoming to ladies. There was a day when old women isolated in the mountains and back woods of this and neighboring states smoked their clay pipes and relished them. These beings were looked up on as being the most ignorant and unfortunate creatures imaginable; Then the habit took an enormous jump.r From the backwoods it went to Paris, and to London, and then to New York. And now it is coming South, to the foothills of the very mountains from whence it came. Now comes up the provincial-cos mopolitan question. There is a mad rush for the cosmopolitan, no matter what it is, or where it is. Paris seems to be the cosmopolitan city eternal. How pleasant it would be if the' Governor of North Carolina and the-Governor of South Carolina could hold another one of their fa mous tea-table talks, in the approved fashion of G. ,B. S.-A. H. if neces- sary, and decide' that Southern cus toms and manners are quite all right and much to' be preferred tq those originating in foreign capitals and transported to us by way of New York! For instance if women must smoke, why didn't our Southern girls take the habit direct from the moun- taineeresses and claim first honors for introducing the custom? Instead they have waited again until some Parisian wench has put another deal over on us. And the South, half a decade late, takes up a habit that is almost worn out across the water. If co-eds here want to smoke, they will. All the laws that the Univer sity could write down could not pre vent them from so doing. The same is true of the other schools in the state. The girls will probably suf fer more physically than the boys. But there's more harm than physical that can be done and the longer the womanhood of the South scorns the use of tobacco, there is just that much more to its credit. OPEN FORUM To the Rescue Editor of the Tar Heel: Issue is taken with the criticism of the initial performance of the Playmakers in the New Theatre published in the Tar Heel. We fail to grasp the allusion to slow music by the Orchestra; as every one knows there lot of sixteenth notes in the ."War March of the Priest" and it was written and played allcero. I This sarcastic yap writing under the name of the "Green Room" wilfully, per sistently misses all the good parts of the three plays presented, he expects "too much, the wonder is not that the plays were mediocre but that they were done at all". . "Out of the Past" was apparently writ ten under limitation and more or less to order and no one, not even a budding dramatist, does his or her best work un der forced conditions. At least, one in the audience thought it a very sweet and pretty play catching the spirit and ro mance of Ante Bellum days successfully. The writer has noticed that' the average undergraduate is not above using bro mides or plattitudes and is apt to use superlatives under emotional stress, all of which is cleverly caught by the author. The piece was apparently intended for home consumption and well serves as a Dedication Ode for the charming Play house; anyway the actors were a very good looking bunch and their clothes fitted. Yon Side of Sunk Creek was stark realism, popularly sup'posed to appeal to jipuug -wuu uauauji ucgui lueir lit erary work with tragedy, tha bloodier the better, and as bare realistic tragedy, it should have fared better at the hands of pur caustic critic. The author of the piece certainly caught the atmosphere of tragedy and gloom . and successfully passed it on to the audience. , Anyway the cabinet organ played its part. Comment ing on Quare Medicine our venomous critic forgets that there are those among us that like to be amused and Paul Green certainly furnishes many chuckles and not a few. laughs Dr. Emmanuel's "lengthy, rambling, monologues In the pseudo classic manner" show a remark able insight into the working of the half -educated quack doctor's mind, and as such are delicious. As for the turning of an abused worm, are we not always glad to meet old friends in new clothes? Finally It is a good rule of criticism that the rnnsrnirtive nnii i1pttniHtriv should be evenly balanced there is hard ly "" a helpful ; suggestion in "Green Room's" creed finding fault is the easi est thing he does. We call this attention to some lines of Pope running something like this: ' v , , ' "Who hopes a perfect piece of !. Work to see Hopes for what neer was, nor is, Nor ever more shall be." and suggest that our caustic critic write and produce three better plays for'-comment and criticism by the producing staff of our able Playmakers. D. C II. FREDERICK WARDE DECEMBER VISITOR Oldest and Best Shakesperean Actor Alive Coming December 1. FIFTY' YEARS OF ACTING Was Most Popular and Liked Speaker Here Last Year. On December 1, under the auspices of the Carolina Playmakers,' Frederick Warde will srive readings from Macbeth and humorous recollections of his fifty years of acting. Mr. Warde is undoubt edly. the most beloved and appreciated of all the speakers who have ever beeri here. When he was here last, year every one "went wild" over both him and his repertoire,' and he was unanimously ac claimed the most outstanding visitor of his type ever seen in Chapel Hill. Frederick Warde is the oldest and best Shakespearean actor alive; and. combin ing his abilities in this line with those of ..deliyering his humorous anecdotes, he will assuredly present the most inter esting performance Of the year.

Those who have failed to purchase season tickets may obtain subscribing memberships Nf or the re mainder of the season for $3.50 at the box office of the Haymaker theatre. NOTABLE SPEAKERS TO STATE PRESS MEETING Ole Buck' and Paul Patterson Will 'Speak Here At Newspaper In k stitute in January. The Carolina Playmakers Presents WELL HANDLED The largest crowd ever to witness a football game in the , Carolinas gathered about Emerson, Field for he Thanksgiving game. Chapel Hill is a small town and" the coming of the biennial crowd is a great event in its history, ' A mob of football fans, with the exception of a gang of ruffians pre paring to storm a courthouse, .is about as difficult a gathering to han dle as'can be gathered.. Mr.' Charles T." Woollen, as Graduate Manager of Athletics, handled the crowd Thurs day and handled it well. The crowd that came here would have been a problem even had the town been accustomed to entertaining such an assemblage every week or so. But this game""comes only once in every two years. Bleachers were erected, tickets were sold, barriers erected, and the crowd handled Jhrough numerous entrances, in a most efficient manner. City police service was even afforded the visit ors. . . ' . Mr. Woollen comes in for a lot of cussing. When the water's too cold, or the lights go off, or the janitor doesn t show up, or the football schedule doesn't seem right, or when a coacch can't . be given - for every minor sport, it's usually Mr. Woollen who gets the blame. But students who have been here for any length of time know some of the problems that must be confronted and readily agree that the Southwest corner office in Alumni Building is as effi cient as any to be found anywhere. TAR HEEL HARRIERS WIN FROM CAVALIERS Take Annual Cross Country Meet From Virginians By Close Score of 28-29. The Tar Heel harriers won their an nual fall cross-country meet with 'the Virginians here Thursday morning by the close score of 28 to 29j with the low score being the winning ope. Elliott, Tar Heel distance star, led thejpack home in the good time of 15 minutes 41 seconds for the three mile course. Pritchett followed ElliotK and took secondfplace easily from Irvin of Vir ginia. "; Daniels put up a fine fight for fourth place with Captain Risher of the Vir ginia team, and since the victory was by only one oint margin the lanky Charlotte boy gets a great deal of cred it for the win. Elliott and Pritchett continue their record taking first and second places in every meet this season. The men in the order they finished were Elliott (C), Pritchett (C), Irvin (V), Daniels (C), Risher (V), Brax ton (V), Wilkinson (V), Leavall (V,), Henderson (C), Smith (V), Berrier (C) Franklin (C), Thorpe (C). In the preparation of the program of the Newspaper Institute, to be held here in Chapel Hill, January 13-15, under the auspices of the North Carolina Press Association and the University, the pro gram committee have secured Ote Buck, of Nebraska, and Paul Paterson, of Bal timore, two well known journalists. In securing Messrs. Buck and Patter son, the program committee have been very fortunate in drafting the services of two prominent and successful jour nalists. They will represent the two ex tremes of newspaper work,-the country weekly, where one man is pretty nearly everything, and the metropolitan daily. where one man is a mere cog in the great machine. i i Being-one of the few men in the coun try who has made a thorough study of the country weekly, Mr. Buck comes to Chapel Hill with a wealth of knowledge about the country weekly. He has run a country weekly and run it successfully. in reward of his distinctive success, he has been employed by the Press Asso ciation of Nebraska as its field agent to keep in touch with all the country week lies of the state, and to keep them in touch with theassociation. Although Mr. Cole is best known throughout the Middle West, where most of his work has been done, his name is familiar in the North Carolina newspaper circles. On the other hand, Mr. Patterson Is distinctively a city newspaper man. As president of and executive editor of the Baltimore Sun, he knows of the intri cate workings of the big city dailies He began newspaper work as a reporter on the Chicago Tribune, and held vari ous positions on the Journal. Inter Ocean and Examiner. Then he came to Wash ington, where he was managing editor or the Timet. In 1913, the Baltimore Sun was reorganized and he was brought to that city as managing editor of the Evening Ban, whence he has risen to his present position.

' COACH ROWE'S BOXING SQUAD DEVELOPING More Material Needed Fifteen Men Are Reporting Every Afternoon At Tin Can for Practice. ' . . .There are stiH numerous places to be tilled on the boxing squad, according to coach Creighton ; Rowe, who has been holding practices every afternoon in the tin can with the limited amount of ma terial on hand. There are at present only about fif teen regular fighters coming Out every afternoon, though others come out spas modically for a round or two, and the present material is not enough to de velop a good fighting squad. In the way of equipments-three new punching bags have been installed, five heavy man-size bags, and a liberal sim ply of 'gloves for the embryo fighters. Careful and personal attention is being given each man by Coach Rowe In his efforts to round out a hard-hitting ag gregation. With boxing as a varsity sport this year, it is expected that more interest than usutj will be aroused. Letters will be given and if enough freshman out a freshman team will be formed. Reports from the University of Vir ginia have it that over 100 men have reported to don the gloves this season and are rapidly rounding into shape for the winter season. , Men are especially needed in the lfoht and heavy weights, Coach Rowe says. Any University' student, regardless of previous experience, may come to the Tin Can every aftemooa, at 4 P. M. at which time Instruction is given In all branches of the boxing art.

The following write-up appeared in a recent issue of the Bull-Dog, Cita del's student paper: " "Freddie Wagoner was a visitor on the campus for two days last week. Freddie probably holds"the best athletic record of any Citadel man that has grad uated here in the past few years. While he was here he made four basketball and four football letters. He was captain of the basketball as well as the football squad. He was all-state football man for two years and he was on the all S. I. A. A. team one year. . No state team was picked in basketball but he wasconsidered one of the best standing guards that the state has known In quite while."
