TIMEN'S PLAYERS
WELL RECEIVED
HERE LAST NIGHT
Large and Enthusiastic Audi
ence Attended Initial Per
Formance of "He Who
Gets Slapped"
APPEAR AGAIN TONIGHT
By Wolterp
The Timen player's presenta
tion of Leonid Andreyev's "He
Who Gets Slapped" is somewhat
more than mediocre, the work of
two of the principals being-far
above that of the rest of the
cast. G. V, Denny, as He is far
, and away the best actor in the
Int arA Vns aotirxr AiA ?rmVv n
make up for that of H. Nelson
Morey, who . never got into
; .character further than wearing
ringmaster's boots. As Papa
Briquet he left much to be "desir
ed, talking his lines throughout
the play. John W. Timen. as
,Mancini was also a disappoint
.ment; at the play's beginning he
was decidedly out of things, but
"lie managed to put himself more
or less into the part before the
final curtain. Rowan Boone, as
Bezano, refused to register even
calm contempt. In contrast to
these emasculates we have Zini-
da, played by Mrs. , Hope T.
, Uobertson, who put such heat
and fervor into her part that, it
became a burlesque. Her eyes
narrowed to slits and opened
wide to express any and all emo
tions, and for variety she raised
and lowered her eyebrrows,
speaking the while in a voice
supercharged with passion. Con
suelo, the fair bareback rided,
pleyed by Miss Mary Madeline
oiiaicu nit; iiuuui o vvibii
for ability and interpretation.
Miss Ross's rendition of the part
was excellent, and her interpre
tation genuine.
G. G. Reiniger as Jackson, the
cruel clown was good, and
though in a minor part, did much
to counteract the staginess of
the other characters. Baron
Kegnard, played by A. E. Bar
ton, also aided in dragging the
show from mediocrity. Tilly
and Polly, by Misses Barton and
Chandler; did as much damage
as their minor positions would
allow. -
The play has to do with the
life and emotions of a man of
high education forced from so
ciety, and who strove to conceal
to a full house, and Mr. Denny
was enthusiastically applauded
on his entrance.
of "He Who Gets Slapped'
z
!
George V. Denny as the clown "He" gave to the Chapel Hill audience last night a performance
little short of perfect for an amateur actor. Beautiful Miss Mary. Madeline Ross as a bareback rider
and the object of He's affection was well cast as Consuelo. Mrs. Hope T. Robertson delighted
the University audience in the difficult role of Zinda, a lion tamer. The lovely Spanish shawls
which Mrs. Robertson bought in Spain for use in her role received . much favorable comment. He
Who Gets Slapped will be given again tonight in tha Playmaker Theatre.

Mencken Comes Here
Students and faculty alike are
looking forward to the visit of
H. L. Mencken, Editor of the
Xmerican Mercury, on Saturday,
October 16.
His stop in Chapel Hill will be
an incident oi a tour tnrougn
the South which he is making
with Paul Patterson, Publish
er oi the .Baltimore bun. Mr.
Mencken will not make any sort
of public appearance here. In
vitations have poured in upon
him from all over the country to
pcture, but he has never yield
ed to the call of the platform,
it is a rule of his life not to make
speeches. His schedule provides
for only a few hours in Chapel
Hill, during which time he and
Mr.t Patterson will go about the
campus and will talk with vari
ous members of the university
faculty.
The newly organized Uni
versity Athletic Council, which
has control over air athletic ac
tivities, is scheduled to hold its
first meeting of the college year
next Tuesday, October 5.
The body was formed as the
result of a discussion at the
gathering of alumni in the Caro
lina Inn last winter. With the
exception of the . eligibility .of
players, it has control over ev
erything that has anything to do
with athletics: the employment
of coaches, the allotment of
funds among the various sports,
the making of schedules, and
the determination of policies in
general.
Eleven men comprise the
council : three members of the
faculty, three students, and (ex
officio) the Graduate Manager
and the Director of Athletics.
The three students are the presi
dent of the student body, the
president of the Athletic As
sociation, and a representative
of the Monogram Club.
A. W. Hobbs is chairman, and
TWO GOOD TEAMS
Tar Heel Team and Coaches
Left Thursday For Vol
unteer Stronghold '
HAVE NOT MET SINCE 1919
This afternoon will witness
the resumation of hostilities be
tween grid teams representing
two of the South's strongest uni
versities when the Tar Heels
clash with the University of
Tennessee "Volunteers in the first
contest with that aggregation
since the two teams fought to a
scoreless tie in 1919. The con
test, which is to take place on
the westerner's gridiron, will be
watched with interest through
out the south, as the result will
determine, to a large degree,
Carolina's strength in Southern
Conference circles.
After a week of the most
strenuous workouts, the Tar
Heels .embarked by train to the
camp ot the Volunteers last
Thursday afternoon, where they
arrived in tip-top shape yester
day morning, and had a light
workout on the Volunteer grid
iron in the afternoon. The week's
practice has been directed, chief
ly, toward the ironing out of
many wrinkles which developed
in last Saturday's Deacon con
test. Special attention has been
given to building up a strong
defense against passing, the
aerial attack of the Baptists
forcefully exhibiting the need of
such a defense, and when the
Volunteer backs heave the pig
skin this afternoon, a backfield
well versed in the aerial game
will have to be considered.
Although having been through
one of the stiffest weeks of
scrimmage ever witnessed on
Emerson field, the Tar Heels
will face the Volunteers this
afternoon with a squad almost
free from injury. The only
casualty was Jenkins, fullback,
who twisted an ankle in Tues
day's scrimmage and as a result
of his injury was not taken to
Tennessee.
The Tennessee eleven romped
off with an easy victory over
Carson-Newman college last
0,
which is not a fair estimate of

Connor are the other two faculty th 8Cre. of J
members. The three alumni are
Lenoir Chambers, Dr. Foy Rob-
erson, and William Blount,
Charles T. Woollen is the Gradu
ate Manager of Athletics and
Robert A. Fetzer is the Director
of Athletics.
The council has been working,
thus far, on the fixing of sched
ules. Because of the ever-pres
ent conflicting opinions as to
what institutions should be play
ed, and when, the council is re
ceiving and considering all pro
posals and will, at a later date,
make its decisions. '
Since the Southern Conference
to which the University be
longs, requires full faculty
supervision of all athletics, the
constitution provides that the
faculty members, in conference
with the President of the Uni
versity, shall have full yeto pow
er over all acts of the council. A
faculty committee still deter
mines the eligibility of players.
The council is to hold a meet
ing on the first Tuesday of each
month.

Country Is Now Ready for

land County Club its first meet
ing of the year. There was an
election of officers, and a general
re-organization. The Cleveland
County Club has an enrollment

county club at the University.
Since the opening of school,
the Carolina Rifle Club has lost''
no time in preparing the range
for shooting during the next
week. Guns, ammunition, and
even the flag pole are ready to
make good use of the range. The
only remaining work to be done
is the building of some firing
points, which are being rapidly
finished in anticipation of the
shooting contest of next week.
The range, which was finish
ed-last year, is about twoiniles
out on the old Raleigh road. It
covers a territory of 40,000
square yards, having a straight
range of 450 yards with the op
portunity of lengthening it to
700 in case the club desires to
go into the game of extra long
distance shooting. The pit is
