Taxation Problem."
A SERIES ON TAXATION
Hon. A. J. Maxwell and Dr.
Fred Morrison Help to Plan
the Taxation Group of Lec
tures. Other Speakers An
nounced.
With Robert B. House, Uni-
versity secretary, speaking on
the "Background of the Tax
Problem," the North Carolina
club will hold its first meeting of
the year Monday night at 7:30
o'clock in 112 Saunders Hall
Students are invited. ,
This year the club, in collaboration
with the School of Commerce, is un
dertaking a comprehensive study of
taxation. The work of the local club
will, in turn, be a part of the larger
program of research that is being un
dertaken by the newly created State
Tax Commission. Hon. A. J. Max
Well and Dr. Fred W. Morrison, chair
man and .secretary respectively, of
the State Tax Commission met with
the steering committee of the North
, Carolina Club recently and helped
f oftnulate the year's program.
At the meeting Monday night Mr.
House will address the club on "The
Background of the Tax Problem." He
will point out the historical and psy
chological factors which influence our
thinking in the field of taxation. This
is a logical approach to the series of
. studies which are to follow, and no
one could be found more capable of
handling this subject than Mr. House,.

maining meetings of the fall term is

Second String Frosh
Leave for Asheville
For Encounter Today
Coach Grady Pritchard and sixteen
Tar Baby grid-men left "last evening
for Asheville where they play the
Asheville School of Boys this after
noon. This is practically considered
as a second team game as most of the
men making' the trip are from the
reserves. -
The boys from "the land of the
41 M . - - .
y are not credited with having a
team as strong as Oak Ridge or Blue
Ridge but they have a team that will
give the Carolina yearlings a stiff
fight.-.
It is hoped that the athletic author!
ties of the University will not count
this game as one of the five allowed
freshman football teams as most of
the boys making the trip do not con
stitute the regular team.
Those making the trip are as fol
lows: Bunch, Spitzer, Wilson, R. X
White, C. H. Warren, Sams, Packard,
Harper, Sear, Michael, Davis, Paul
sen, Brown Parsley and Bagwell. The
remainder of the squad will hold reg
ular practice as usual.

TRY-OUTS MONDAY
FOR NEW COMEDY
k -
Wigue and Masque to Put on
Production Within Next j
: Three Weeks.
Try-outs for the Wigue and Masque
production of the fall quarter have
beent announced to take place on Mon
day evening at seven o'clock in Mem
orial Hall. Two musical comedies are
being considered for production, but
it has not been definitely determined
which will be used.
Paul John Weaver, of the Music
department, is in charge and issues
a call for the following types : an
auctioneer, a fat man who can play
a feminine comedy role, and a-girlish
and intriguing lad who" t is ex
perienced in', the' art of doing the
"Hula." ; For . the chorus, sixteen
youths of graceful and faun-like pro
portions to assume the parts of chor
ines, and . a lesser number of more
masculine types to act as chorus men.
Productions of" "the Wigue and
Masque are always among the most
popular on the campus, and positions
in the Dramatis' Personae are usually
at a premium. The last show, "Yes,
By Gosh!" by Billy Vaught of Greens
boro, toured the state, and Was re
ceived at every stop with more than
common hospitality.
Although nothing, definite regard
ing the quality of the performance
could be obtained at the , time of this
writing, the vehicle is reputed to be
far superior to . any of this nature
heretofore seen at the University.
Mr. Weaver desires to state that
less than three weeks remain in which
to rehearse, and that ceaseless work
is the only method- of staging a suc
cessful piece.
. Miss Rachel Davis has gone to hex
home near Kinston for the week-end.
Miss Agnes Stout, student here last
year, is visiting friends at the Wom
an's Building. v
Students to Review Magazine
Due on the
Students will be given a chance to
review the Carolina Magazine, which
is scheduled to 'make its first appear
ance of the year tonight, instead of
faculty members, as has been the cus
tom heretofore, Editor Dillard, "Bull",
Gardner announced yesterday.
Freshmen as well as upperclassmen
will be eligible to submit, reviews, ac
cording to Gardner's announcement.
The best of the student reviews sub
mitted will probably be published in
the Tar Heel, and the students sub
mitting them will be awarded copies
of the Magazine autographed by the
authors of all the articles appearing
in the publication. The primary pur
pose of the plan, Gardner stated, is
to uncover student literary talent, as
well as to stimulate interest in the
publication. -
Today's issue of the Magazine will
contain only student material, discon
tinuing the practice of .publishing
material by professional writers
which was inaugurated last year.
Practically all the stories and sketches
included in today's issue were writ

UNEXPECTED HAS
RULED IN SOUTH
CAROLINA SERIES
South Carolina Has One Game I
To Credit in Fifteen
Game Series.
TWO GAMES WERE TIED
Football Relations Began with
South Carolina in 190& Up
sets Have Prevailed Since
Carolina Won Last Year.
There has " been an element of the
unexpected in the recent football
games between the Universities of
North and South Carolina, and fans
wonder if the same thing will not
occur this week. Sometimes it has
been the defeated team pulling an un
expected play to break into the scor
ing column, and more often it has
been a "break" that opened scoring
opportunity to decide the victory.
In 1922 the Tar Heels' "Wonder
Team" that went undefeated in the
South was playing the Gamecocks.
The score was 20 to 0, with the North
Carolina' eleven leading. The- crowd
had settled back to watch a wonder-
ful scoring machine 'work, when that J
boy Snipes broke loose. Playing a
half back for the 'Cocks, Snipes broke
through the middle of a hitherto im- J
pregnable Tar Heel line and ran 67
yards for a touchdown. North Caro-
linar won 20 to 7, but that one play
by the defeated team was the talk of J
the day. .
The games of 1923 and J924 failed
to bring out any shining lights but
those of the last two. seasons made
up for that lack. In 1925 the Fetzer!
brothers carried a team to South Car
olina after a heart breaking ; loss to
Wake Forest. Everyone said - the
spirit of the Tar Heels was killed. At
Columbia,, thevpugbbitterlyujandl
held the Gamecocks to" a standstill for
three quarters, and in the final period
they won.

Report of the Game
Grid-o-graph reports of the
game between the Universities of
North and South Carolina will
be shown this afternoon at Mem
orial Hall. The game will be
played in Columbia and is sched
uled to start at three o'clock.
The grid-o-graph will show play
by play the action of the game,
' in whose possession the ball lies,
downs,- . and yards-to-go. This
contrivance is probably the next
thing to seeing the game from the
stands, and furnishes many thrills
for those who are unable to at
tend the fray. A large group
of students saw several of the
out-of-town games last year via '
, grid-o-graph, and a good attend
ance is expected today.
Campus Tonight
sue, although he admits that no works
indicative of the uncovering of a new
literary genius on the campus were
included in the lot..
New Policy
The campus generally is awaiting
the appearance of the literary organ
with a great deal of interest. There
has been some speculation since the
opening of school as to whether a
literary publication worthy of the
name can be issued here, using only
student material. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the Magazine this
year will fall lar neiow tne stan-
dard set by Julian Starr and his various stages of the develop
associate editor, Robbins Fowler, last ment 0f the University life and it
year. 'Most of the predictions to that is for ths reason that their talks
"effect seem to, be;based upon the fact
that outside contributions will not be
used this year. v
Gardner and the associate editor
for this year, J. O. Marshall, are the
recipients of some " commendation of
their action in adopting the policy of
accepting only student contributions,
however. There seems to be a feel
ing prevalent that the first issue will
demonstrate the feasibility of contin-
uing the policy and yefc -'maintaining students, faculty, and in fact to every
a reasonable standards literary mer- person who is interested in the Ms
if x . t in bofi ii : tory and tradition of the University."

BASEBALL TEAM
NOW INtRAINING
Coach Ashmore Calls First Fall
Baseball Practice Ever Held
At Carolina.
For. the first time in the history of
athletics at the University of North
Carolina the baseball squad is taking
formal fall trainig. Spring practice
for the varsity football squad was
inaugurated several years ago, but it
remained for Coach Jim Ashmore to
start the Tar Heel . diamond candi
dates into off-season .work.
The formal call to all candidates
for the Carolina nine was issued late
last week, and the daily workouts got
thoroughly under way this week with
an even dozen outstanding prospects
in uniform. Others are expected to
report later.
Those to report included five let-
termen from last year's State Cham
pionship Team Captain Joe West
moreland and "Red" Ellison, pitchers;
Ed Burt, second baseman; Henry Sat
terfield, shortstop; and Ed Mackie,
outfield star; were the monogram
tossers. 'Along with these camp sev
eral youngsters and last year's re
serves who are showing up well.
Among these are Barnhart, first
baseman; Alexander, second baseman
and shortstop; Lufty, third baseman,
Harkrader, outfielder; and Fulcher,
Stewart and Graham, pitchers. All
of these men have fine shots at var
sity berths next spring, and Coach
Ashmore is well pleased with the in
terest shown. '
Several outstanding baseball play-
hers will be unable to get into diamond
togs this fall because of football.
They are Tom Young, brilliant first
sacker; Odell Sapp, pitcher; Bill Dod
