The Duke Frosh scored early in the game, but the Tar Babies, led by Nelson and Nash, staged a come-back in the final period to knot the score and save the yearlings from defeat. Save at times in the' third and fourth quarters, the Carolina year lings displayed a . weak, offense and a disastrous habit of fumbling the ball. In the overhead game the Blue Imps were far superior to' the Tar Babies. The Staton and Bruske com bination proved a thorn in the side of the Carolina backs. Nash and Nelson seemed 'to be the best ground-gainers for the Tar Heels, especially Nash who clipped off sev eral twenty and twenty-five yard runs. The line on the whole seemed to play a nice brand of defensive ball but was woefully weak on the offense. For the visitors Bruske was the most out standing player, both in the catching 1 passes and in defensive work. Mur ray as a plunging fullback was very effective. , The Methodists drew first blood by scoring in the last few minutes of the first half. A penalty gave them a first down in the 'danger zone and a few moments later Bruske snatched down a long pass for the first score. Duke missed the kick for, the point. In the early, part of the third quar ter the Tar Babies made a rather seriT ous threat but lost the ball on downs. Duke punted and Sher, who had re placed Wyrick at quarter,' started the drive by , running it back several yards. Nash and Nelson crashed the Blue Imp line" until Nash went over for a goal. They failed in the try for the extra point. The Carolina men threatened again when in the last quarter, with but (Continued on page three) SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS PROBABLE Basic Courses This Year as Archaeology and Hellenic Art Appear on Calendar. Basic courses have, been instituted at the University this fall for what . eventually is expected to be a Sehool of Fine Arts. -, The courses are in archaeology and Hellenic art and will be given -one during each quarter . of. the winter term by ,Dr! J. P. Harland -who has been secured by the University for this work. "' in aiscussmg tne prospects ior a School of Fine Arts, Dr. Harland said that the first thing necessary would be sufficient interest in the state for such a department here. "I have 19 students in my first course," he said, "and it had no preliminary announcement. The foundation of all art is ancient art, t and that is why we are beginning with work in arch aeology. "Other branches of the University are teaching the history, economics . and politics of people from first civi lization to the present and it will be the aim of these courses to teach the art of these people as just another factor in their life. So many peo ple have the notion that "art" - ,is something done by a queer individual stuck . away in a studio somewhere. We hope to create a different feeling about it." Three Years in Europe Dr. Harland is just returned from a three-year stay in Greece where he directed the excavation of a site at Nemea. At this . pre-historic settle meat, houses dating back to 3000 B.C. were unearthed, and certain pottery that was found in a cave may have been as ,old as 4000 B.C. This work was done on a Guggengheim Fellow ship. Dr. Harland, was teaching here in the University at the time he was awarded this fellowship. While in Greece he worked with the American School of Archaeology and, though he spent, most of his time in Greece, he also .studied materials in Egypt, Asyria, and Babylonia, as well (Continued on page four) Out with Injuries lvs In his second, year at varsity guard, "Bud" Shuler has been helping to make the Carolina line one of the strongest in the South. Hev showed up well in the Wake Forest game! but was out with a wrenched ankle last Saturday. It is thought probable that he will break back into the line up today. Class Attendance To Remain Optional for Juniors and Seniors Optional class' attendance for juniors and seniors remains , in force this year, declared Dean Ad dison Hibbard of the College of Liberal Arts, when interviewed yesterday. : The student body has acquitted itself so well in the ex periment conducted last spring "when the optional attendance system was. inaugurated that it has been decided to continue the program this fall. Should a junior or senior be taking a sophomore course, how ever, he will be required to catch those classes, as he is only ex cused from junior and senior courses. Sophomores will not be , excused from junior and senior classes. , , ' BOXING CLASSES START TUESDAY Training Schedule for New and Old Men Gets Underway V Tuesday in Tin Can. . Classes in boxing, intended mainly for the more inexperienced men, will begin next ; Tuesday afternoon from four to six in the Tin Can. Coach Creighton Rowe states that although the regular season does not start un til after Thanksgiving it is important that all men who intend going out for boxing or who wish to learn some thing about the "manly art of self- defense" be on hand Tuesday. , The 1 neriod between ' now and Thanksgiving , will be taken up main ly . in "special exercises and the rudi ments of the sport. This is being done so that the men will be ready to go into actual fighting when the season begins. I . ' , . ,. . .

WHLDURANTTO GIVE TALK HERE ON MONDAY NIGHT Noted Philosopher to Present Public Lecture in Gerrard Hall at 8:30 O'clock, IS PROGRESS A DELUSION? Hibbard Considers Campus For tunate in Opportunity To Hear Author of 'The Story of Phil osophy" Is Entertaining Lec turer. An opportunity to hear the great est philosopher of modern times, ac- cording to many critics, will be ten-! dered the students and faculty of the University Monday, night when Will Durant speaks in Gerrard Hall at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Durant, a lecturer of interna tional repute, will speak on the sub ject "Is Progress a Delusion?". He will express the opinion advanced hi his book "The Story of Philosophy," that there may in reality have been no actual progress made by mankind in the past thousand or so years. He will also present the arguments ad vanced to prove the reality of prog-: ress. . : , "The. Story of Philosophy" created something of a furore in cultural cir cles when it was published about a year ago. It did much to establish its.author's position as one of the lead ing authorities on philosophical sub jects that this country has produced During the past few weeks another philosophical work by Dr. Durant has received favorable comment from re viewers. It "has, however, been in cir culation for too short a period of time to f orcast what its reception will be. "' . ; ', Dr. Durant is now on a lecture tour, of the eastern section of the country, under the direction of Leigh-Emmerich Lecture Bureaus, of New York City. His cpming to the University is looked upon by Professor Addison Hibbard, chairman of the faculty com mittee on lectures, as a stroke of good fortune, as he usually confines his lec tures, ' to the larger cities. He , has probably spoken to more people than any other lecturer in the country, having delivered addresses to large crowds in most of the larger cities. Labor Temple School, an organiza tion functioning ' as an auxiliary of the great Labor Temple .maintained by the Presbyterian Church at Four teenth street and Second avenue, in the heart of New York City, is a direct outgrowth of one of Dr. Dur ante lectures. He was formerly a member of the faculty of the Phil- (Continued on page two) New York Yankees Only a Game From ihe Championship : as They Third from Pirates 8 to 1 Herb Pennock Hurls Almost Flawless Ball to Allow Pitts burgh Only One Run.

Warren Conducting Services at Baptist Church for Ten Days. ' "My God Is Like My, Mother " will be the topic of the morning sermon by Dr. Louis B. Warren of Atlanta at the Chapel Hill Baptist church to morrow. At the evening service, beginning- at seven-thirty, the topic is, "The Cure for Fear." Dr. Warren, the blind preacher, is attracting large numbers at the spec ial services he is conducting at the local Baptist church. During the com ing week services will be held twice daily, one at three o'clock in the af ternoon and on? at seven-thirty iri the evening. No service will be held Sat urday night. -The series will contin ue through Sunday, October 16th. Of interest to the congregation is the preacher's blindness. . He lost his sight five years ago, but he was told by specialists twenty years ago' that he would ultimately be unable to see. Consequently, he ' at once began to study the blind man's tricks, and is now able to do a great many. things rarely thought possible for, the blind. Dr. Warren's memory of Scripture passages is most, remarkable. At ev ery service, he quotes the entire chap ter or section forming the basis of his sermon. ' Now at Fullback r 1 V 1 f r: V y In the backfield shake-up this year, Billy Ferrell, pictured above, has been shifted from halfback to full back. The "change seems to have added strength to the Tar Heels, as he is a good line-plunger andi his punting has been above the average. He saw service in the Tennessee game last Saturday and is expected to star at full in the game with Maryland on Emerson Field today. .

These surgeons cut off the decayed limbs and then paint the butts with coal tar paint. This protects and pro longed the - life of the tree; besides removing the possibility of jdanger from., falling limbs. The men at work are L. D. Force, Brandon, Vermont"; W. G. Stone, Bur lington, Vermont and R. T. Elliott, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. They work in the North in summer and migrate to the South in winter. The surgeons came here from Charlotte where they were at work on the oaks of St. Peters church. , : Their strange tools, such as saws on long staffs, longi hack saws, cables for staying limbs, ropes, etc., have at tracted the attention of students and passers-by. Their time saving method of . swinging from limb to limb by rope instead of climbing has also been noticed. Today as , Odds Are in Favor of Old Liners as They Invade Caro lina v Lair. ' CAROLINA TEAM CRIPPLED Lipscomb and Whisnant Have Been Out of Practice All the Week, While "Bud" Shuler Is Still Limping. The Tar Heels take on their second Conference opponent of the season this afternoon when they battle the red-jerseyed eleven from the University of Maryland on Emerson Field at 3:00 o'clock. Last Saturday the Old Liners open ed their own Conference campaign with an impressive win, and today they invade the Carolina lair with the pre-game odds in their favor. The question bothering the entire crew of Tar Heel backers is whether the big team carrying North State colors can overthrow these odds. It has been done, and can be done again. The history of the series with Mary land, shows at least one contest when a Carolina eleven overcame odds that had them defeated three touchdows before the game began. When the final score was chalked up it read North Carolina 16, Maryland 0. That was in 1924. The Fetzer brothers carried a crippled team north to meet Curley Byrd's outfit. Six first string backfield men were in jured and did not make the trip, among them being Emmett Under wood,5 "Rabbit" Bonner, Jeff Ford ham, "Ox" Shuford, Bunn Hackney and Billy Devin. Carolina's hopes fell below the bottom of the dope bucket. Even with these men in the line-up Maryland was doped to be the stronger. . However, the story of ,the game showed that "Sprat" Cobb, Bob Sides, Tom Young and Hugh Jenkin liter ally plowed and swam their way to victory. They played an inspired game, and the Old Liners could not ' stop them. They would hot be denied. That was two years ago. Can this year's Tar Heels repeat? They, too, j enter the game with a long hospital -it i: t i - m , ii Aiaw vjiiariie ljipscomD, giant tacKie and guard, is out. "Bud" Shuler, who failed to get into the Tennessee game is still in citizen's togs. Aloert Whis nant, brilliant sophomore quarter and the best passer on the team has not practiced this week due to injuries received last Saturday. . With these men out, Coach Collins ' and his proteges face a team that has pnea up iuo points m two games while holdihg its opponents scoreless. yiTl Wnnl.MJ.AM - 1 lege opened the Maryland season, and last Saturday the South Carolina Gamecocks fell 26 to 0. Only one thing Tar Heel supporters, know, and that is the Carolina team will fight to the last. TICKET COSTS $2 TO VIRGINIA GAME Uniform Charge Will Be Made for All Seats in the Stadium. The University Athletic Council, composed of faculty, members, alum ni, and students, has decided upon $2 as the price for a ticket to the Vir ginia-Carolina football game on Thanksgiving Day. This is the same charge that was made for the match two years ago. All seats in the Kenan stadium regardless 6f whether they are op posite the middle of the field or off at the ends are offered at the same price. " The design of the stands is such that there are no bad seats; a good view of the match is obtainable from anywhere on the concrete. But of course the midfield seats will be most in demand, and these will be al lotted, to the earliest applicants.
