Ernest Hyde Meets Death on
Highway Between Mebane
and Burlington.
OTHERS RECEIVE INJURIES
Third Carolina Student to Be Fatally
Injured in Car Wrecks
, During Week.
. A head on collision of two au
tomobiles on the road between
Mebane and Burlington about
1:00 o'clock Monday morning re
sulted in the death of Ernest
" A. Hyde, freshman at the Uni
versity, who was driving a Ford
touring car, and the injury of
two Burlington boys who were in
a Ford Roadster.
Five boys were-riding with
Hyde : George Forrestor, Turk
Holderness, Jimmie Welby,
Henry Statton and J." M. Lyle;
all University students. None
of them were injured seriously,
According to Lyle, the boys who
were driving the roadster were
badly cut about the face. . He
said that Hyde was thrown from
the car to the pavement where
he probably landed on his head.
His neck was broken and he died
a few minutes after the accident.
Passing motorists carried them
to a hospital in Burlington.,
One of the boys who entirely
escaped injury reported that
they were burning their lights
dim and were on the right side
of the road, while the roadster
had no light burning except a
lantern which was hanging on
the front of the car. The boys
with Hyde said that they had no
evidence of the roadster being
near until the collision occurred.
As far as it is known everyone
conceded that the accident was
completely unavoidable.
Hvde lived in Bainbridere.
Georgia, and came here from
Tech where he had been pledged
to the Kappa Alpha fraternity.
W. R. Prescott accompanied the
corpse to Atlanta where the
boy's parents had just, return
ed from a visit to Chapel Hill,
to see Ernest, when they receiv
ed news of his death.!
This is the third casualty of
the week, the two preceding
deaths of George Toms and a
former sudent Guy Hagen, were
both due to automobile acci
dents.

Meet S. C. Biddies in First
Game of Year at
Columbia.
HAVE FORMIDABLE TEAM
For the second time this sea
son the University of North Car
olina will meet the University of
South Carolina in football when
the freshmen football elevens of
both institutions meet in their
annual clash at Columbia, S. G
Saturday. The contest will mark
the advent of both first year
teams to the Southern sport
stage, as neither team has en
gaged in a scheduled combat
since the 1926 football season
has started. -
Last year the Gamecock
yearlings paraded out on Em
erson Field and mid a drizzling
rain defeated the Tar Babies by
the score of 19 to 6. That game
was one of the most unusual
ever played on Emerson Field.
The second team started off the
game for the : Tar Babies and
marched right down the field to
Ihe fifteen yard line. Atthis
juncture, the S. C. Biddies in
tercepted a lateral pass behind
the line of scrimmage and some
long legged individual scampered
85 yards down the field for a
score. Tne nrst team went m
and forthwith proceded to score
a touchdown that tied the score.
Then another break came for
the Biddies, when they fell on a
fumbled kick behind the goal
Hnp Ktill nlr" Inrlv. IupV tosis not:
satisfied, 'and a few minutes la-
er another six pointer was
counted by the Biddies when a
fake play enabled a halfback to
break loose and wade eighty
yards for the third hero play of
the game.
Little is known of the strength
of the Biddies this year and the
quality of the Tar Babies un
der fire is equally undetermined.
The Freshman coaches, Belding
and Pritchett, have been work
ing hard on their, material and
have weeded out a seemingly
powerful eleven from the hun
dred or" more lads who swarmed
on Frosh field five weeks ago.
In a scrimmage against the Var
sity reserves one day last week,
the Freshmen pushed over three
touchdowns and held their op
ponents helpless. The first year
team has benefitted nobly from
their daily clashes with the Var
sity men and should without
doubt present a good account of
themselves. v

The 'Norris Candy Company,
of Atlanta, is offering a large
up this year to the student at
fhe University of North Caro-
ina who most distinguishes him
self in athletics during the
scholastic year of 1926-27. .The
trophy is now on display at Sut-
;on-Alderman drug store, to
gether with a letter from -the
president of the Norris Candy
Company. The letter states
that it is an honor to the presi
dent of the Company to have the
University employ their trophy
as an incentive to athletic de
velopment.
Franck ' Lowenstein, head of
the Norris Company, is a gradu
ate of State University where
the same trophy has been used.

stitutions of the state he has es

those who excell in athletics.
Dr. Eric W.- ZimniPrm&nV pro
fessor of Commerce and Re-
sources in the School of Com
merce, addressed the first two
meetings of the Economics Sem
inar this fall . on i!he subject,
"The U. S. Trade With Europe
As Affected By the War". Both
times a large group of profes
sors and graduate students heard
him on this timely subject.
In a. very interesting way the
history of. our trade with Eu
rope since 1870 was traced, the
speaker supplementing his re
marks with a series of graphic
charts and tables. An analysis
of our export trade showed that
twelve commodities, all agricul
tural product, minerals, or low
processed goods, have made up
dver two thirds of our exports.
Europe has always . l)een our
best marKet, taking over one
half our exports and furnishing
one third of our imports. The
period 1870-1900 the speaker
termed the "extractive" period
in our agricultural history, a pe

After three-fourths of the
Presbyterian Synod had left
Statesville last Friday morning
Dr. W. P. McCorkle, of Burling
ton, one of the faithful and or
thodox defenders of Calvinism,
read to those few remaining a
paper outlining the history of
the John Calvin McNair founda
tion at the University of North
Carolina. ; This foundation pro
vided that each year some able
scientist of one of the evangel
ical denominations shall give a
series of lectures on the mutual
bearings of science and religion.
In compliance with his request
a committee was appointed to
visit the faculty and trustees to
present a protest against the ap
parent deflection from the object
of the foundation. This was
deemed advisable since Dr. Mc
Corkle thought that the real
spirit of the foundation had been
unfulfilled with the exception of
three McNair lectures.' .
Later in the morning the Syn
od decided not to appoint a mem
ber of the board of directors of
the School of Religion at Chapel
Hill, since they felt enough in
formation for ,-. favorable action
was not at hand.

Paul's Church in Norfolk, deliv
ered tiie University. Sermon in
Gerrard Hall Sunday evening at
eight o'clock. '
': Insisting that the primary na
ture of God was moral and not
intelligence. Dr. Covington de
cried the fact that any Chris
tian or well-informed church
would attempt to put obstacles,
in front of or hinder the pursuit
of science. He believes it pa
thetic that a legislature would
'n this twentieth century at
tempt to legislate as to how. and
what part of it should be taught.
"Christianity is not in opposition
to the pursuit of knowledge, and
it is unfortunate that? some mis
informed people should take this
stand."

CAPTAIN JOHN NOEL WILL GIVE
INTERESTING LECTURE TONIGHT
Captain John Noel, official
photographer of the 1924 Mount
Everest Expedition, will deliver
a lecture tonight at 8:30 in Mem
orial Hall. The University's
Committee on Lectures made all
arrangements for securing this
noted lecturer. There will be no
admission charges. , ,
The Mount Everest Expedition
commanded world-wide attention
because of its extreme daring
and the dangers which- had to be
braved. Two of the adventurers
lost their lives in a vain attempt
to reach the top. The last view
of these two men, Mallory and
Irvine, will be shown by Captain
Noel in the moving pictures
which will be thrown upon , the
screen in connection with his lec
ture. The commander of this
expedition to gain the summit of
Mount Everest. "The' Roof of
the World," was Colonel Norton,
the intrepid explorer.
Along with Colonel Norton
went Captain John B. Noel as of
ficial photographer. In this of
ficial capacity Noel was enabled
to secure pictures which' give
a graphic account of the trip,
showing just what perils had to
be faced. In his lecture tonight
Captain Noel will give the de
tails of .the expedition, the ex
traordinary hardships that were
endured, and the danger which
the explorers met on every side.
He will also give an interesting
description of the strange land
of Tibet which lies about Mount
Everest and which was for so
'ong a time a source of peril for
all white men.
Henry L. Mencken, noted
critic, writer, and editor of the
American Mercury, spent eight
hours in Chapel Hill Saturday
afternoon as the guest of Presi
dent Chase and Dr. Archibald
Henderson, head of the Depart
ment of Mathematics. After in
specting the University plan and
talking with members of the fac
ulty, Mr. Mencken said, "I am
more than ever, convinced -that
the University of North Caro
lina is one of the greatest intel
lectual centers of the country."
Accompanied by Paul Patter
son, publisher of the Baltimore
Sun, the great critic arrived here
about noon. He had luncheon
with President Chase, after
which he received callers at the
Carolina Inn until time for the
Duke-Carolina football game to
start. During the first half he
occupied a seat of honor on the
Carolina players' bench. The
crowd heartily applauded him
when he appeared on the field.
From six to eight he was enter
tained at a buffett supper given
gained at a buffet supper given
in his honor by Dr. Henderson.
Mencken, according to those
who talked with him' Saturday,
is about the average American
in appearance. He is a blonde
of sturdy build, and seems
younger than his 46 years. He
has none of the characteristics
one would expect in the profes
sional critic, but is rather genial
and humorous. "He doesn't im
press except with his typewrit
er," Prof. Coffin, of the Journal
ism department, said of him this
morning.
After leaving Chapel Hill, Mr,
Patterson and the man whose
criticism of the South has a-
roused so much comment went
to Greensboro, where they visit
ed at the home of Prof. B. B.
Kendripk, of North Carolina Col
lege for women before leaving
for Atlanta to continue their
Southern tour.

"Gus" McPherson, brilliant
North Carolina track star,, join
ed the ranks of Tar Heel gridiron
heroes when he navigated four
yards of mud puddle and then
dived nine feet through the air
to land on his neck across Duke's
goal- line Saturday on Emerson
Field.
' This thrilling run executed by
Carolina's graceful speed king
marked the only score of the
game, though the spice he added
to the contest paved the way for
a series of thrills that alleviated
to a large extent the preceding
three quarters of dull, listless
football. ; ,
Until the final period neither
team had performed in a manner
worthy of commendation. The
Carolina team prevented the
game from becoming an almost
boring affair by making numer
ous" beautiful tackles of the
crashing, ruthless, awe-inspiring
type. :
Duke, on the other hand, pre
sented an abundance of unher
alded fight, trickery, determina
tion and resourcefulness that ap
peared to worry and greatly be
wilder the . University players.
Practically every play attempted
by the" Blue Devils was of 'the
trick variety and straight foot
ball was used very scarcely by
the offense of the visitors from
Durham.
North Carolina held an edge
over Duke in every period, but
were unable to produce sufficient
offensive strength when within
striking distance of the enemy
goal. Neither team gave evi
dence of possessing a capable re-
ceiver of forward passes, as sev
eral perfect throws were drop
ped by ends and half backs of
both elevens. Several times
Carolina men were uncovered
on pass' plays but the Tar Heel
tossers were unable to get the
