s
Game to Wake Forest; 13-0
ON BAPTISTS' FIELD.
Demon Deacons Win 3rd Game
. Straight from Carolina by
- Rackley's Passes
INOTRE DAME SYSTEM USED
Three years ago," the Demon
Deacons got their first taste of
victory over Carolina, and they
liked it so . well that -Saturday
at Wake Forest they lived true
to form and registered their
third straight win by a score of
13 to 0. The margin of victory
-was the largest Wake Forest has
ever experienced over their an
cient rivals. .
Eight thousand fans packed
the new Wake Forest Natural
Bowl, and in the heat of a blaz
ing sun watched twenty-two per
spiring warriors clash against
one another in their valiant at
tempts to ward off the attacks
of one another. -
New System Not a Failure
The drubbing administered at
. the hands of the Baptists cannot
be called the failure of the new
Notre Dame system being in
augurated at Chapel Hill this
iyear by Coaches Collins, Cerney,
Fetzer and Ashmore. Wake
Forest had six of their last
year's regular teani in the line
up, while the Tar Heels were
blessed with only three real vet
erans. Wake Forest played
"heaid-up football, and deserved
their victory. "
.,The Carolina Coaches made
twenty-six substitutions and at
one time sent practically an en
tire new line and a whole new
backfield into the fray. In ex
act contrast to this method was
the plan used by Wake Forest of
sending new men. Up until the
last few minutes of the fourth
quarter only two substitutions
lad been made by Baldwin. This
in itself is a tribute to the splen
did condition in which the Dea
cons had placed themselves. .
Stars of the Game
If one man had been absent
from that sweltering mass of
players, there might have been
a different story to tell in to
day's TAR HEEL. That man was
Captain Rackley, Wake Forest's
brilliant. quarterback. The ac
curacy ot ms arm m passing,
liis ability to return punts and
punting all these sounded the
death knell of Carolina's hopes
as far as a win over the Bap
tists was concerned. Aiding
their Captain in every way were
Riley, Emmerson, and Ober at
halfback.
The Carolina thrill providers
were nearly all in the line. Car
olina displayed that she has one

Junior Smoker Tonight
Class of '28 to Have Get-together
. This Evening at Swain Hall
The Junior Class will usher,
5n the new school year with a
get-together meeting tonight at
9 :00. It will be on the order of
the Senior Smoker which was
held last night. The primary
object of this smoker is to get
everybody acquainted. Later in
the quarter a program will be
put on to dispose of the business
interests of the class. Tonight
there will be plenty of food and
entertainment.
: ? The Sophomore and Freshmen
classes will also give a smoker
on Wednesday and Thursday
eights, respectively, at the same
time.
mi
mis year wiu witness a re
vival of life and spirit in the Di
and Phi societies characterized
by the inauguration of more
modern policies and a greater
fund of enthusiasm and interest,
according to a member of the
Phi assembly. This new plan
consists in the abandonment of
the former conservatism and the
adoption of highly modern ideas
The discussions will center about
campus problems which are of
vital interest to the entire
student body and should attract
a larger membership to the
Societies.
An enthusiastic campaign for
new members, which is to be
launched in chapel this morning,
marks the departure from the
former method of allowing those
desiring membership to seek out
the Society. Now, acting in ac
cordance with the latest ideas
of efficiency and advertising, the
Societies will select their own
members and will go out upon
the campus in search of the most
desirable ones. New men will
be given the chance of making
application to the Di or the Phi,
and from these applicants the
most promising are to be chosen
as members.
A new society hall for the Phi
is being built in the renovation
of New East. This hall, to be
completely furnished by the Uni
versity, will present a very suit
able meeting place.
A committee has been appoint
ed by each society to aid the oth
er in creating a new interest and
in getting new members.
If all these plans for a succes
ful year fall short of their ex
pectations, the two societies are
considering amalgamation into
one body, it is understood. In
short, they plan to carry out any
undertaking which will provide
for a more successful and a better-working
organization.

A. JC SMITH
.,; He Who Gets Slapped by Le
onid Andreyev which is to be
given here Friday and Saturday
of this week in . the Playmaker
Theatre by the Playhouse of
Asheville is a play with a simple
theme but generally conceded to,
be a play full of deep and pro
found philosophy. -
The play deals with the life
of "He", a man of high educa-,
f ion and of great mental achieve
ment, who leaves life, willingly
in appearance, but forcibly : in
fact. He becomes a clown and
performs stunts ; he gets slap
ped; the public laughs, being
unaware that this lauughter is
a mockery at itself, at its cul
ture, at its achievement.
The characters are depicted
with a bitter sarcasm and un
friendliness, for Andreyev seems
to have lost his faith in man.
His characters are only stray
rays of light out of place in the
world and even in the world-circus
which is full of spiders,
champagne, and human outcasts.
Andreyev does not blame these
outcasts. On the contrary, he
feels sympathy, if for anybody,
for these clowns, jugglers and
bareback riders; but life this
strange combination of fate, ac
cident and cowardly slander
is stronger, and they collapse
under the burden of this com
bination. The play is directed by John
W. Timen, a director of skill in
bringing out the emotions of the
actors and whose philosophy em
braces the idea that there are
no small parts but only small
actors. With this in mind he
has directed He Who Gets Slap
ped and made of it a play with
a well balanced cast as well as
a thing of beauty.
PLANS FINISHED
FOR NEW SYSTEM
OF CHEERLEADERS

and Major Campus Groups

SIX NEW MEN ON
TAR HEEL STAFF
Several Reporters Either Fail to
Return or Resign
from Staff
TO BE CALLED "CHEERIOS"
Pipkin at Harvard
W. B. Pipkin, who was Presi
dent of Phi Beta Kappa here
last year,, is now a student in
the Harvard Business School, at
Cambridge.
' A new organization takes its
place upon the campus this
week, an organization sponsored
by President Chase, Head Coach
Bob Fetzer, Graduate Manager
Woollen and every important ex
isting group. This newcomer is
a thoroughly organized cheering
unit of 250 men, to be known as
"The Cheerios."
This unit will sit in a specia!
section on the 50 yard line at
every game and will act as a
leading unit for the entire stu
dent body, in the execution of al
yells, drills, and stunts. Each
Cheerio will wear a regulation
cheering uniform and will carry
a blue and white 7-inch- mega
phone strapped around his
shoulders. This megaphone will
be presented to each man with
his initials on it, together with
a card of membership. A picture
of the group wiil be put in the
Yackety Yack, and each member
will be allowed to list the organi
zation after his name as a cam
pus activity.
The work of organization wil
go on this week and rehearsals
will occupy next week. The
first appearance of the Cheerios
will take place at the game with
the University of South Caro
Una.
The cheering unit will be
divided into squads, each squad
having a student leader. The
following men have volunteered
to serve as leaders of the squads
Lawerence Watt, Walter Chris
man, "Red" Smith, Sid Chappell
and others. With such men as
group leaders, success from the
standpoint of backing and
morale is assured. Membership
will be open to all students. The
time and place of enrollment wil
be announced later.
i Such an organized cheering
unit is conceded by all to be the
best possible way of securing
cheering which will be a credit
to the school and to its teams.

SUCCESS OF "Y" FINANCE PLAN
ASSURED BY GOOD COLLECTIONS
The new plan for financing
the yearly program of the Y. M
C. A. has already surpassed any
previous ; Y finance plan, and
has practically solved the prob-
leni of securing "Y" pledges and
collecting them. Yesterday, the
last day given for the payment
of the University bills, only 486
pledges had been paid in, but a
total of $1,260.50 had been col
lected, more than was paid in to
the Y. M. C. A. by students from
September to June last year.
These pledges represent less
than 50 per cent of the total of
students who pledged subscrip
tions, although the pledges are
past due, but it is expected, that
the remaining number will be
paid in to the "Y" desk in the
treasurer's office within the next
week. ' -
Last year the students sub
scribed $1,187 to the Y. M. C. A.
The faculty responded gener
ously, donating $368.00, the
alumni subscribed $520 during
the year ; and it is hoped that the
same amount will come from
these sources this year. The uni
versity makes an annual appro
priation of $6,000 to provide for
the salaries of the members of
the Y. M. C. A. staff, and the
voluntary student pledges are
devoted to paying the running
expenses of the organization.
The purpose of the newly in
augurated plan is to relieve the
student body of the worry and
confusion caused in the past by
finance campaign committees
canvassing from room to room
throughout the fall quarter, and
to provide a system whereby the
necessary funds will be secured
at the minimum cost of time and
money. Several members of the
Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are stationed
in the registration line in Me
morial Hall and in a quiet and
dignified'way, give every student
who registers an opportunity to
make a pledge to ther "Y" at that
time, which are paid at a special
"Y" window in the treasurer's
office at the time the University
bills are paid.
Last year the Y. M. C. A. was
handicapped by many unpaid
pledges, but under the new plan
it is expected that all pledges will
be paid in promptly. -

HENDERSON WRITES
SERIES OF ARTICLES
Will Write Sunday Series on N. C
History for Greensboro News
Dr. Archibald Henderson, of
the University faculty, is to
write a series of Sunday articles
for the Greensboro Daily News
on North Carolina History,
These articles will deal with
North Carolina's claims to his
torical greatness, her influence
upon the history of the nation,
and her outstanding ' leaders
They will take up the famous
characters and events of North
Carolina history, and also the
cultural, literary, and scientific
contributions of the state to the
nation.
These articles are the result
of a great deal of research and
study on the part of Dr. Hen
derson, and they bring out many
points in the history of the state
which have hitherto been ob
scure. After their publication
in the Daily News they will be
published in book form and will
add another volume to North
Carolina history.
The first article, to be pub-
ished Sunday, October 3, con
cerns the birthplace of Andrew
Jackson. This point has long
been debated, but now Dr. Hen
derson offers what is consider
ed to be absolute proof that An
drew Jackson was born in North
Carolina.
NOTICE
All men in the advertis
ing department of the Tar
Heel are requested to meet
Baron Holmes and Kenneth
Jones at the office between
