TAR HEELS FACE
HEAVY SCHEDULE
FOR TIDS SEASON
Will Tackle Two of, the Strong
est Elevens in the
South.
MARYLAND COMES NEXT
Carolina Slated to Meet Georgia
Tech in Atlanta October 22
In Double-Header at Lexing
ton. The Tar Heels are taking on
the most ambitious schedule this
season ever undertaken by a
University of North Carolina
eleven. There is not a "crip"
game on the 'entire list, and op
ponents are outstanding enough
to give the Heels a brilliant rat
ing in the Conference, should
they succeed in winning all Con
ference contests. ,
For the first time in many years
there are seven Conference oppon
ents on the schedule, and included in
that seven are . most of the leading
contenders of the year. Sports-writers
rate Alabama, L. S. U., Maryland,
and Tennessee as the four leading
squads. Two of those four are includ
ed on Carolina's card, and other
games between these four will fur
nish basis for comparison wrhen the
Pickens - Cup is finally awarded.
To open the season came Wake
Forest, and all know that game was
no "crip." In fact it turned into a
veritable Waterloo, and Carolina Con
ference backers have to thank their
stars that the Deacons are not a
Conference team. Today they battle
the Volunteers from Tennessee, and
next - Saturday the Old Liners from
Maryland will invade Emerson Field.
Ga. Tech in Atlanta
That's some menu, too! Facing
two of the four outstanding southern
elevens on successive Saturdays. Fol
lowing the Maryland game, the Tar
Heels take on four Conference op
ponents in a row, and all of them
on foreign fields. First comes South
Carolina at Columbia on October 15,
followed by Georgia Tech in Atlanta
on October 22. Georgia Tech is not
rated so "hot" this fall, but "hot" or
"cold" when, you lick the Yellow
Jackets on Grant Field you've done
something to tell your grand-chil-dren
about for years to come.
The dopesters failed Jto include the
N. C. State eleven among their strong
est Conference teams this fall, and
there's 'wh ere they may have fallen
far short. Gus Tebell has a wonder
ful crew of pigskin chasers over in
West Raleigh this fall, and . he will
bear watching. There's one Tar Hteel,
at least, who'll be in the stands when
the Carolina and State teams clash
on October 29.

World's Smallest
Flowering Plant Is
Found by Dr. Coker
The smallest flowering plant in the
world has arrived In Chapel Hill to
take up its residence. It was brought
here by W. C. Coker, the University's
well known botanist and director of
the Arboretum.
The plant, Wallfia by name, with
neither roots, stems, branches or
leaves well differentiated, was found
in a fresh water lake at Nag's Head
and Roanoke Island. -
This is the first time that this par
ticular species has been reported in
North Carolina, and it is altogether
Probable that a new species has been
found. v .. -
Another important item of the col
lection is the American lotus of the
yellow-flowered species and of the
same genus as the Oriental pink lotus
referred to so frequently in the Bible,
"hile this is pculiar to eastern Amer
lca it has never before been planted
I! Chapel Hill. An effort will be made
sprout several plants in the green
house behind Peabody hall. ;
The Venus Flytrap plant, which
Ir- Coker found in South Carolina
nd which created interest all over
e country, is doing well in the Ar
ljjet'"m' Botft plant and flowers are
Ser than usual and are the finest
lt- Coker has seen anywhere.
Vill Durant, Philosopher and
Lecturer, Slated for Address
Here on Delusion of Progress
Author of "The Story of Philosophy" Comes to Campus on October
10 Is Popular Lecturer and Leading Authority on His
Subject Is University Lecture and Free.
TO BE IN GERHARD HALL
Will Durant, philosopher and
lecturer of national repute, will
give a free lecture inGerrard
Hall at 8 :30 on the night of
October 10, it was announced by
Professor Addison Hibbard,
chairman of the faculty commit
tee on lectures, yesterday.'
"Is Progress a Delusion?" will be
the subject of the lecture. Mr. Dur
ant, who was formerly of the De
partment Philosophy of Columbia
University, is the author of "The
Story, of Philosophy' a work that has
done much to establish him as one of
the leading authorities on philosophi
cal subjects in the country. '
Some of the topics that Mr. Durant
will cover are 'the ten steps in the
ascent n of man,' 'recent pessimistic
opinions,' and 'the fate of civilization.'
He will advance the arguments for
the reality of progress as well as the
opions that have been expressed
tending to disprove its reality.
Dr. Durant first came into promi
nence as a result of his teachings at
Columbia. It was as a result of one
of his lectures at the great Labor
Temple, maintained by the . Presby
terian church at Fourteenth street
and Second avenue, in the heart of
New York City, that Labor Temple
School, the gathering-place of such
speakers as Harry Emerson Fosdick,
Hendrik Van Loon, Stephen Wise,
Felix Adler, and John Dewey, origi
nated. The school grew out of a week
ly class formed at the" conclusion of
an address by Dr. Durant on "Spin
oza." ;,.'''
It is probable that Will Durant has
spoken to more people than any other
living philosopher. He has attracted
large audiences in most of the larger
cities of the country.
Professor Hibbard stated yesterday
that he felt that the University- was
extremely fortunate in persuading Dr.
Durant to lecture here.
HOP TONIGHT IS

Order of the Grail Gives First
Fall Dance in Bynum Gym
nasium Tonight.
Tonight the floor of Bynum Gym
nasium will resound with dancing
feet as the Order of the Grail gives
the fall social wheel a vigorous spin.
A large crowd is expected to be on
hand for the occasion because of the
Tennessee-Carolina game this after
noon, and indications are favorable
for-an enjoyable hop.
The Buccaneers will play and are
slated to begin their syncopation at
nine o'clock to last until the midnight
hour. The hosts will give the gym
an interior coating of gay decorations,
though last year's custom of having
special entertainment during inter
mission will not be followed tonight.
Tradition bars the frosh from tak
ing part in the dance but they have
heretofore been allowed to spectate.
This year, however, because of the in
adequate size of the gym, the first
year men will not be allowed to en
ter the building. The limitation of
stags at the dance will be enforced
if deemed necessary.

Hudgins Clears Up
Question of Raised
Senior Glass Fees
Dues Will Be Used for Individual
Yackety Yack Pictures.
The raising of the senior class
dues is ,not an attempt at robbery
but is in line with a motion passed
by -that group last spring and the
funds will be used in defraying
Yackety-Yack individual pictures, Ed
Hudgins, president of the class of
'28 made clear in a statement yester
day. Hudgins adds that he has been
beseiged with students wishing to
understand the raised fee.
The statement made by the class
president for the Tar Heel is as fol
lows: "Plan adopted by the class of 128
on the 24th day of May, 1927.
"The following motion by Mr.
Cone, Business Manager of the 1928
Yackety Yack, was passed by the
class in quorum assembled:
" 'That there be added to the regu
lar class dues the sum of "two dollars
for each of the three quarters. This
additional fee (totaling six dollars for
the entire year) shall be used by the
senior class in payment for the senior
individual space in the 1928 Yackety
Yack.'
"Amendment to the above motion
was accepted by Mr. Cone. This
amendment as follows:
"'That any Senior who expresses
his desire not to have space for a
picture in the 1928 Yackety Yack
will make his wish known to the class
treasurer not later than six weeks af
ter entering in the Fall, and he will
receive refund of two dollars for the
first quarter. The money for the last
two quarters will be refunded at any
time after its payment, by the Class
Treasurer.'
"This plan brings about a reduc
tion of something over a dollar in the
new cost of Senior individual space
over the old price. It will also en
able the Yackety Jfaek to come out
several weeks sooner than it has been
coming out in' the past"

tom, the Order of the Grail will

year to the athlete in the fresh
man class who achieves the high
est scholastic record, it was de
cided at a recent meeting of that
organization.
This will make the fourth time

. Bobby Wilkins, president of the
class that year, in 1926 the cup
was won by Tommy Coxe, and last

TICKET SYSTEM
CHANGED TODAY
Athletic Authorities Try to
Prevent Recurrence of
Gate Crashing.
Coach Grady Pritchard, head of the
ticket department of the Athletic
Association, has made ample " provi
sions to. take care of the crowd that
will be here for the Tennessee game
this afternoon. Downtown ticket of
fices will be set up and extra men
will sell tickets at the gates to Em
erson Field. The new system will
prevent any such bedlam as the one
which occurred last Saturday, when,
for the first time in the history of
athletics at this- University, the gate
to the stadium was crashed. The
whole thing happened in just such a
manner: The crowd started coming"
into the stands very late and there
had been no advance sale of tickets.
Just -before the game started sever
al thousands were standing in line
to get tickets for the game. At the
time four offices had been set up and
the four window-men were working
hard to provide the people with tick
ets. ' ' -
At one of the bgoths the crowd be
gan to push and the weak frame
structire gave way under the tre
mendous pressure of the hundreds
who were raving for tickets. With
the collopse of one booth and with
two of the windows unable to sell
tickets all the people were forced to
seek tickets at the other two windows.
In a short time the rush started at
the second booth and it likewise fell
under the stampede. With both of
the ticket offices in a state of splinter
ed particles the crowds started for
the fifent gate. They had not tickets
but every one was there to see the
game regardless of the financial situa
tion of the Carolina Athletic Associa
tion. The rush was on. Hundreds of men
and women were rushing for the gate.
The mad rush caused the gates to
fall and the way was clear for the
people to enter the field without tick
ets. -
Baptists Hear Noted
Speakers Tomorrow
Dr. Poteat and Dr. Gaines to Fill
Pulpit Here.
Visiting lecturers will fill the pul
pit of t f local First Baptist church
Sunday morning and night. Dr. Wil
liam L. Poteat, former President of
Wake Forest College and a well
known lecturer throughout the South,
will preach the morning sermon at
eleven o'clock. Dr. Poteat is popular
in the state and especially in Chapel
Hill where he has been heard before
by capacity houses. He has recently
published a book, "Can a Man Be a
Christian Today," which has been
widely read by North Carolinians, and
has been the subject of much discus
sion in religious circle.
At the evening service Dr. Francis
Gaines, who succeeds Dr. Poteat as
President of Wake Forest College, will
deliver the sermon. Dr. Gaines is
very popular among the students at
Wake Forest, and is also a talented
speaker. The subject of neither of
these lecturers has been definitely obtained.

NUMBER 4
Army Style of Play Will Be
Pitted Against Knute
Rockne System.
TAR HEEL FORI IMPROVED
Volunteers Bring Driving Team
To Emerson Field This Af
ternoon Several Changes in
Carolina Line-up.
When. the North Carolina and
Tennessee elevens lock horns on
Emerson Field this afternoon at
3 :00 o'clock, it will not only be
a battle between the two univer
sities. Rather it will be a clash
of two great systems of football.
The Volunteers come East tutored
by Major Neyland in the Army style
of play, while the Tar Heels, as dis
ciples of "Chuck" Collins,' pin their
hopes on the wide open agressjve tac
tics of Knute Rockne and his Notre
Dame teams. True, the two systems
clashed last fall, but it was no fair
test of relative values then. - Collins
and Cerney, graduates of the Rockne
school, had only greenhorns then to
demonstrate their style of football.
This year it is different, for the
Heels boast eighteen lettermen and a
host of trained reserves from the 1926
"Iron Men" and freshmen. All this
week, following a disastrous opening
melee, the varsity squad has been
priming for this invasion from beyond
the Big Smoky Mountains, and devo
tees of, the great fall sport can bet
on a real exhibition today.
The Tennessee squad itself can de
pend on a warm reception too. In
fact, if several hunches on this cam
pus come true, they may find the re-
ception too warm for comfort. Of
courses hunches are mighty insecure
things to pin bets to, especially when
the team itself is still in the throes of
early season weaknesses. '
However, the spirit today is differ

THREE BOOKS BY -CAROLINA
PROFS
University Press Issues Pub
lishing List for Fall
Season.
The University of North Carolina
Press has just issued a folder setting
forth a list of books which they will
publish this fall. Included in the list
are three books by professors here.
Probably the most interesting book
on the list is a six-hundred page tome
by Howard Mumford Jones on Amer
ican and French culture from 1750
to 1848. Mr. Jones is a professor of
English at this university, and his
book is a clear, graphic account of the
influence of French culture upon
Americans in the beginning years of
the nation. This volume will be readv
October 1st. Later the Press will
publish Medieval Latin Lyrics, bv
Professors Allen and Jones, in which
Mr. Jones collaborates with a north
ern scholar. Another volume, to be
issued in the near future, is a study
of gasteromycetis of the United States
by Dr. W. C. Coker of this University.
This study is in manuscript, and will
probably be published this winter.
A thesis on the juvenile courts in
the United States by Herbert H. Lou,
a volume of lectures on, Egyptian art,
by Jean Capart, and an investigation
of the east and west trunk line rail
road movement in North Carolina by
Cecil Kenneth Brown, are other books
which will be issued shortly.
Peter Mitchel Wilson has written a
light historical work which he calU
Southern Exposure, and the ' Press
will have this ready for sale in a
few days. It is largely autobiograph
ical and deals with days before the
Civil War and after, when the South. -
heavily handicapped by ignorance and
prejudice, was fighting to recover
from the disaster of battle. Another
book of general interest is The Coun
try. Town by E. E. Miller, which is
a study of the methods of the people
in, town "and country to "bring about
a more concise relationship. The last
book on the list is a critical apprais
al of the social theories of T. L. Hob
house by Hugh Carter. The author
attempts to sift Hobhouse's social the
ories from his mass of philosophical
writings.
