100 MEN OUT FOR
TAR BABY SQUAD
Coaches Belding, Pritchett, and
Quinlan Put Freshmen
Through Their Paces
SCHEDULE UNCOMPLETED
Over one hundred men have
reported to Coaches Belding and
Pritchett as candidates for the
Carolina freshman football
team. Practice started about a
week ago, and since then the
squad has been growing by leaps
and bounds. On Monday, uni
forms were issued to over ninety
men, and others are still out in
track suits or old clothes.
The freshmen present a very
interesting spectacle as they
swarm over Frosh field. It is
not a very easy task to control
such a large number of men, but
Coaches Belding and Pritchett,
ably assisted by Quinlan, have
certainly performed wonders
with their men. At four o'clock,
or thereabouts, the men are all
called together and then formed
into a huge circle whose edges
reach the most remote parts of
the field. They are led through
a complete set of exercises by
Coach Belding. The men keep
together very nicely and look
particularly good when they,
sprawl out on the ground and
perform various leg exercises.
After the exercises, they are
divided up into teams and are
instructed in the simple funda
mentals of the game. Monday,
the Goaches "introduced their
players to a few simple plays,
and then the various teams ran
through these plays. An odd
feature that appears about this
time is the manner in which the
teams shift in the different plays.
Every player counts aloud as
they shift and they all land in
their places with perfect har
mony. Few well trained troupes
could drill with more precision
than the frosh as they move to
gether in time to their counting.
Quite a bunch of famous high
and prep school athletes may be
seen on the field, but as to wheth
er or not this year's team will
be another wonder eleven is a
matter of modest conjecture.
They have a pretty hard task
before them if they expect to
maintain the standard set by
ast year's aggregation. The
complete freshman schedule for
this year will be published in a
ater edition of the Tar Heel.
NEW SCHOOL TO I
TEACH RELIGION
Dr. Workman to Conduct Three
Classes Biblical Subjects
this Quarter
IN METHODIST CHURCH
An interdenominational school
of religion has been established
in Chapel Hill. The Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Disciple,
and Episcopal churches and the
University Y. M. C. A. are in
terested in the project. The
Rev. Mims Thornburgh Work
man formerly pastor of the
Methodist church at Little Rock,
Ark., is the acting dean and Pro
fessor of biblical history and lit
erature in the new school which
was chartered May 12, 1926, as
"The School of Religion at Chap
el Hill."
The Rev. Workman is well fit
ted by his high attainments in
scholarship and religion and by
his striking personality to oc
cupy the position to which he
has been elected. Mr. Workman
has spent five years as a stu
dent and Instructor at the
Southern Methodist University
at Dallas. While there he organ1
ized the undergraduate depart
ment of religion. At the time
he left the school, this depart
ment was employing three full
time instructors. He is the son
of Dr. J. M. Workman, retiring
president of Henderson-Brown
College.
The School of Religion is a
new venture in inter-denomina
tional cooperation. The school
was incorporated recently, the
purpose of the corporation being
set forth s "the teaching of
courses in the study of the Bible
and religion, especially Christ
ianity, at Chapel Hill." The cor
poration is entirely separate
from the University, but after
the first quarter of the present
year the University will be asked
to give credit for courses in the
School toward the B. A. degree
-' Mr. Workman is very enthusi
astic over the School of Religion
here and says that he will be glad
a- j n j - i
io iaiK io any group oi stuaenxs
who wish a regular course or
some special work in Bible. All
classes of the School this quarter
are being conducted in the Meth
odist church annex on the second
floor. . During the winter quarter
the classes wilj be held in the
Baptist church arid in the Epis
copal church during the spring
quarter.

COACHES WHIPPING LARGE SQUAD
INTO SHAPE FOR BAPTIST GAME
Uncertainty as to Who Will Fill Varsity Positions in Saturday's
encounter is cause ot Much Speculation On the Part
of Football Dopesters
Only two more days before the
annual Carolina-Wake Forest
football game will become a
thing of the past. No one can
safely predict the outcome of
Saturday's game, as little or
nothing is known about the com
parative strength of both elev
ens. Both teams are getting
heir first taste of different
styles of play, and whether or
not the teachings of Collins, Cer
ney, Fetzer, and Ashmore will
triumph over the teachings of
Baldwin, Wake Forest mentor,
at Gore field Saturday, is only
a matter of mild conjecture.
Sixteen days is not a very long
time in which to drill a mob of
men into a style of play differ
ent from any they have ever
used before. That is the task of
Carolina's new coaches hate
been trying to perform behind
the closed gates of Emerson
fiield. One thing certain is that
Wake Forest will not know what
to expect when the Tar Heels
trot out Saturday. If the Tar
Heels had been shut up in cages,
more dope or knowledge as to
what is going on in Emerson
field might have leaked out than
s actually known about the mode
of play to be used against the
Deacons.
Only two scrimmages offer a
fair estimate of what may hap
pen. On Saturday the ban was
lifted long enough to allow stu
dents to watch their athletes
fight through four periods of
scoreless football. Practically
every man on the squad took
part at one time or another. No
attempt was made on the part
of the coaches to pick any first

Donald Jonas, '27, of Lincoln
ton, was installed as President
of the Dialectic Society for the
fall quarter at - the . Di's ' first
meeting of the year Tuesday
night, , September 21.
A score of old men were pres.
ent when the acting Speaker,
Senator Crowell, called the meet
ing to order. Senator Jonas
then received his oath of office,
Senator Crissman ' presiding
while he made his inaugural
speech.
Jonas reminded the Senate
that the existing decline of the
societies can only be remedied
by building from a new and
firm foundation, in other words,
by getting the present freshman
class sincerely and whole-heart.
edly interested in the society. To
this purpose he intends to de
vote his own abilities and that
of his administration.
The new plan for interesting
the freshmen, which is mainly
the work of Senator Kennett,
was then explained. The Di and
Phi are to cooperate in a cam
paign for members which is to
culminate in a "Society Day" at
chapel next Tuesday. The fresh
men will then be issued cards on
which they may signify their
intention of joining one of the
societies, and will.be requested
to appear for initiation that
night. .
Senator Hudgins then intro
duced an amendment to the con
stitution. This was to the ef
fect that the temporary change
in the meeting night made last
spring from Saturday to Tues
day be made permanent. This
was referred to the comiriittee
on the constitution.
Senator Kennett introduced a
bill prohibiting the canvassing of
the dormitories for commercial
purposes. This bill will be dis
cussed at the next meeting.
The Senate then adjourned.
Graduate School Meets
There will be a meeting of the
entire Graduate School in the
Episcopal 'Parish House Friday
night at 7 :30. .At this meeting
the Graduate Club will be or
ganized, and officers will be
elected for the coming year.
President Harry W. Chase-and
Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr., will be
the principal speakers, of the
evening. Alter the program,
light refreshments will be
served.
Every graduate student is ex
pected to attend this first meet
ing of the year.
S. G. Chappell, President of
the Student Body, in a speech
at chapel exercises Tuesday,
September 22, definitely stated
the position to be taken by the
Student Council on the problem
of drinking, on and off the cam
pus, by Carolina men.
In opening, he stated that it
was his duty, from time to time,
to make known the general poli
cies of the council to the student,
body. Satisfied that the res
ponse of the student body on the
question of hazing would con
tinue to be satisfactory, he con
tented nimself with just a pass
ing mention of this subject.
Then, observing the general
proneness of the human race to
alcohol, he saw the university
as no abonrmal exception. But,
he continued, we, as a respon
sible body of the finest youth of
the state, should see to it that
the law of the land, of the state
and of the campus is observed.
Search of the records showed
that in 1916 the council resolv
ed to act against any act com
mitted by a student, which was
detrimental to the University.
In the past, disgraceful cases of
drinking had been reported from
Durham, Greensboro, and other
neighboring cities. This year
the council will assume the trial
and punishment of such offenses.
This was no new departure from
student government tradition on
the campus.
Mention was also made of the
lack of consideration showed by
the men who play their phono
graphs or other musical instru
ments late at night.
FIRST PHI MEETING
IS HELD TUESDAY
Assembly Housed in Law Building
New Constitution Under Way
Before a very few of their in-
terested members, a business
meeting of the Phi Assembly
was held Tuesday night in the
first year class room of the law
building. This must- serve as
the headquarters of the Assem
bly until the reconstruction of
New West building.
With the formation of a new
constitution that is now under
way', it was further decided that
the ceremonies of the initiation
used heretofore are slightly an
tiquated and in need of a reno
vation. A committee was ap
pointed, composed of Walter
Kelley, chairman, R. M. Hardee
and W. H. Strickland, to f ormu-
ate a new plan of initiation.
