Clash.- The Tar Heels played briUiant foot ball against South Carolina last Sat urday afternoon, but their best scor ing efforts netted but one touchdown, and the Gamecocks won 14 to 6. North Carolina swept up and down the field at will, driving over and around the Palmetto eleven as if there were no opposition until they reached the scor ing zone. There the Gamecocks held the great est plays Coach Collins charges could release, putting up an impregnable de fense inside the five yard line. One spectator commented that the North Carolinians played "All-American football between the ten yard lines." There was something of the spirit of Fort Moultrie in the way those 'Cocks defended their goal line. They appeared helpless against the bril liant running of Young, Ward and Gresham until they had to hold. And then they braced, as did their gal lant Revolutionary ancestors in days gone by. The game itself furnished thrill after thrill from the opening kick-off until the final whistle. First the sup-J porters of the Gamecocks had their hearts in their throats as one of the galloping Tar Heels seemed sure to break loose, and then the Tar Heel cheering sections rose in a mighty appeal as the Palmetto eleven went into the lead. After Red Swink romp ed over with the final South Carolina touchdown, the cause of the Tar Heels seemed lost. Then pandemonium broke loose. The Gamecocks had great reason to crow too, for it marked the second vic tory for the South Carolinians over a period of nearly thirty years. Home Coming Day The more reason to crow than ever was because hundreds and thousands of old gxads froom the Columbia in stitution were back in the stands to see their team in action. It was "Home Coming Day" for them, and what a glorious return it was. They saw the greatest game seen on a South Carolina gridiron in years and years. It was a great game for the players, but 'twas a greater one for the spectators. And why? Be cause it was full of open plays, of thrilling plays that could be seen from the stands. rartieuiariy m tne nnai nan it opened up. Time after time the Tar Heels reeled off sweeping end runs, and in this period they opened up their aerial siege guns in an effort to take the impregnable fortress that surrounded the South Carolina goal. For South Carolina it was the day of glory for Captain Emmett Wing field, for Julians Beail, for Mike Wind US and George Keels. These men play ed inspired football, and Beall the sophomore center' played on even terms with Schwartz, the Tar Heels' Continued on page f(fiir) NINE NEW MEN ADDEHTO STAFF New Men -.Will Meet This Eve ning at Nine, O'clock in Office.- Nine new reporters have been add ed to the staff of the Tar Heel, and hey will assume their duties at once.

TOM YOUNG 4 - 9 7 f Tom Young has played in two games against the South Carolina Game cocks, and each time he has crossed the Palmetto goal for a touchdown. In 1925 as a sophomore the Monroe star made the trip to South Carolina, his first trip with a varsity team, but he - failed to break into the line-up. Last year his brilliant 70-yard run with a fumbled punt resulted in a North Carolina victory. Last Sat urday he skirted his own end for the lone Tar Heel touchdown in the Game cocks' 14 to 6 win. TAR HEELS PLAY TECH SATURDAY Coaches Drilling Carolina Grid men for One of Hardest Contests of Year. The University of North Carolina football, squad invades Atlanta next Saturday to engage Georgia Tech on Grant Field. That promises to be one of the stiff est tasks faced by the Tar Heels in years, for the Yellow Jackets," always a hard team to beat, are especially formidable on their own field. This will mark the second time the two institutions have men on the grid iron, although they have clashed re peatedly in the other major sports. Their only previous meeting was in 1916 when the then famous "Golden Tornado" barely nosed out North Car olina 10 to 6. That was back in the days of Tech's gridiron immortals, Strapper, Guyon and Flowers, and the Tar Heels were touted to the skies for holding the Tornado to such a tight score. In those palmy days the Jackets were wont to romp over all comers by mountainous scores, and it was noth ing short of remarkable that the Staters could battle them so close. Pre-season dope this fall failed to herald the Yellow Jackets as a dan gerous combination. Sports scribes all over the South said that they would be a mere ghost of their former bril liant teams, but -so far they have shown unexpected strength. Coach Alexander has molded his attack a round "Stumpy" Thomasson, who is a fine ball-carrier and has filled the role of Barron and Wyckoff very well iHs viiici iiun.u. In the first Conference game the Jackets won from V. M. I. by a lone touchdown, and last week they stem med Tulane's Green Wave 13 to 6. These two games proved easier than expected for the proteges of Alexan der, and Coaches Collins, Cerney and Fetzer are grooming the Tar Heels for one of the hardest contests of the year. ... Tech may pin her main hopes on Thomasson, but -the Carolina outfit will present a balanced backfield. There is no scintillating star in the Tar Heel quartet, but all four reg ulars are clever players. Ferrell, full back, and Young, right half, are play ing their third and final season in Blue and.TOite togs; while Whis nant and Ward at quarter and half are sophomores. This 'quartet forms the Tar Heels first line of attack, working behind as fine a line as has been seen in the state this season. X.C-P fVi-roof man f: i f s WOMM.

University Professor Takes Issue against Dr. F. EL Hanes ; o Dr.' Urban T. Holmes, Member of French Department, Blames Inefficient Public School Systems for Conditions Attrib uted to Universities by University Day Speaker. ' o In response to the views offered by Dr. Frederick H. Hanes of Winston Salem in his address here University Day, declaring the average student of the liberal arts college is making a f utile ' effort to gain the too broad an education offered in that school and disparging the value of the courses which are generally considered classic or scholastic, Dr. Urban T. Holmes of the French department, gave the fol lowing statement to a representative of the Tar Heel yesterday: Having been asked to comment upon Dr. Haines University Day address I present the following, which will doubtless seem a minority report. Dr. Haines' criticism of the uni versity, curriculum of today is based upon observation of -the graduate, our finished product, not upon study of the universities at work. We agree with him-: the vast majority of men and women who are turned out year ly with the A B. degree are not fit to return interest upon their own or their fathers investments. In plain words the money -.spent upon their education has been wasted. The fault lies in that we are giving them too broad an education, says Dr. Haines. They are taught to memorize and not to reason; they study toa many hu manities and the things they do not like. What does it matter whether a boy knows the difference between a square and an parabola, provided he can tell the date that Columbus, discovered America? A liberal edu cation is wrong because it does not teach us to reason. Here I may break ANNUAL CROSS COUNTRY MEET HERENOTOIBER Elliott and Pritcheit to Defend North Carolina's Title to Conference Crown. The University of North Carolina's cross-country team, present holder of the Southern Conference crown, will defend its title here next Saturday, November 19, the date set for the sixth annual conference meet. Present indications are that en trants may be expected from virtually all of the 22 conference institutions. The meet is expected to be the most successful yet held in the South, ac cording t-3 Ccaoh Bob Fetzer, univer sity director of athletics, who is in charge of arrangements here for the classic The meet will be over a five-mile course and will match the greatest distance runners in Dixie. The Tar Heel harriers won last year's event in record time. It was held at the University of Georgia. . Galen Elliott, sensational mfler and distance man on the Tar Heel squad, won individual honors in that race. He barely nosed out Joe Hut cheson, of the University of Virginia, however, and was forced to set a new individual record of 26 minutes and 45 seconds for the five-mile struggle. This year both Elliott and Hutche son will, be running their -final sea son, as will Hoyt Pritchett, North Carolina two-miler star and confer ence record holder for that distance.

Miss Hazel Ferguson spent the week-end with Miss Maude Brown. in with some of my own liberal edu- cation and note that both Rabelais and Montaigne, as well as certain other great thinkers, did not have their reasoning powers noticeably in jured by too much study of the hu manities. Further, is it true that our undergraduates really posess any sort of an education, liberal or otherwise, when they come forth from college? Some do; but many, also, do not. The value of a liberal education (one in which the student is required to learn something about many things and considerably more about one thing his major subject) is twofold. First, it gives much needed experience to the leaders of our social state. The modern human is confronted with many problems many judgments to make, many social questions that ter rify him for the future. Exeprience alone will aid in solving them all; not the experience of a single life time, but the experience of centuries where all these problems have been met with by great minds and conquer ed once if not many times over. If a man acquire some of this wisdom of the ages and this breadth of vision, which is- not confined to the daily newspaper and an occasional consul tation of the encyclopedia, his reason is not dulled. Rather is he given the marial with which to exercise that reason, and become a guide of des tinies. Second, many of us still wish to study the humanities because we love the history of ideas and the won ders of science.

University of North Carolina stu dents will be informed of the insti tution's history, traditions, and ideals in a series of chapel lectures to be gin today and continue through the week. - The series is planned especially for the benefit of the men entering the University this year for the first time, but the public is invited. The plan was conceived by Francis F. Bradshaw, dean of students, who pre sides at chapel exercises. The idea is to bring about a closer understand ing of what the University is and has been. Prof. R. D. W. Connor cf the his tory department will have charge of the first three lectures and will re late "The Historical Background of the University." He is to be followed by Dean A. EL Patterson and Profes sors Frank Graham, Albert Coates, and Horace Williams, each of whom will give one lecture on the "Spiritual Values of the University," dealing in a general way with heritage, tradi tions, ideals, and some of the great personalities who have- been gradu ated. " All of these speakers were Univer sity students .and they each represent a different period of campus life. At the close of the series every member of the freshman class will be pres ented with a pamphlet dealing with student government at the Univer sity; HUBERT POTEAT GIVES BALANCED RECITAL SUNDAY Demonstrated Ability in Intri cate Selections, but Blunders Noticeable in Simple Compo sitions. . (By Joe Mitchell) f Sunday afternoon at the Chanel of the Cross, Hubert Poteat, visiting mu sician, presented a well balanced pro gram embracing ten complicated num bers. Mr. Poteat demonstrated per fect ability and control in his intri cate selections, and blundered and fal tered quite noticeably and frequently in the more simple compositions. These organ recitals have featured an occasional composition of Wagner, and the organist invariably approach ed the piece with evi3ent timidity. Mr. Poteat included selections from Wagner's Rheingold, Parsifal and the overture from Rienzi, and completed all three numbers with remarkable freedom and the! accustomed gusto and strength". He showed a decided de parture from the usual organist's fal tering and reverent rendition. The program included two move ments from Grieg's Peer Gynt suite; parts three and four of the overture from Rossini's William Tell, and Dvorak's Largo from the New World symphony. Two lighter compositions, Deiibes' Pizzicati and Hollins' Eve ning Rest, were played in faulty style. Une unforgivable feature of every recital at the Chapel of the Cross is the manner in which the electric lights are switched on "while the or ganist is playing. In the first place the lights shouldn't be turned on. The recitals begin at five o'clock and the chapel gradually darkens, whieh makes the music more enjoyable, but of a sudden an officious usher tip toes up and clicks four dozen glaring, dazzling electric lights. A foolish procedure, and unjust to every one except the too efficient usher and the dear ladies who simply must examine the hats and dresses of all the other ladies. And another thing: it is cus tomary for two thirds of the audience to enter with appropriate ceremony while the sixth piece is being played, and seat themselves four rows from the front. It is really the thing to do. : . Sigma Epsilon announces the in itiation of Donald Kitehing-, of Green ville, S. Cm and Nelson Callahan, of Shelby, N. C. .

The four weeks cf rushing season are rapidly drawing to a .close, and as pledge day approaches campus fra ternities are anxiously awaiting the results of their efforts. These last few days have witnessed the concen tration of fraternal forces, the mak ing of last stands, and desperate at tempts to recover straying freshmen. On a whole the rushing has been con ducted in a gentlemanly manner, few fraternities having stooped to the lowly practice of cutting throats, the despicable curse of almost every sea son. Wednesday night at twelve o'clock the bell of Old South will mark the end of the 1927 rushing season, and the pursued freshmen will have a chance to do a little thinking of their own. Big words and high sounding phrases will be thing3 of the past, and the rushees will have until Fri day afternoon to escape from the fog and to see the light in their own par ticular way. During this period of silence no fra ternity man may converse . with a freshman, and freshmen must not dis cuss fraternity matters among them selves. It is an opportunity for the freshmen to think it out for them selves away from the shadow of fra ternity houses and the dominating in fluence of the Greeks. Any violation of the period of si lence will be punished by the Inter--fraternity Council. ...... DEBATE COUNCIL INAUGURATES A DISCUSSION PLAN Prospects Good for Forthcoming Debate; Many Aspirants for Team. ' The new plan of the Univer sity Debate Council to hold a series of meetings for discussion of the query for forthcoming de bates was inauguratede with a whirling start last Friday eve ning at nine o'clock. Mr. Cut ler of the economics department met nineteen aspirants, for the team in Manning Hall and for an hour and a half the question of pacifism was warmly discussed. Mr. Cutler is considered by his col leagues and pupils as one of the most brilliant of the University's young professors. This opinion . was like wise expressed by the debaters gath ered in this meeting. In a few open ing remarks Mr. Cutler pointed out a few of the "Danger spots in Amer ican Foreign Policy" and showed how these places are but ''potential dyna mite that lay in wait for a crucial moment to explode and breed war." "These flaws in American policy are but a few of the economic causes of war, and must be corrected or remov ed before any permanent peace may be established, either by disarmament or by pacifism." Mr. Cutler chose these illustrations from American Diplomacy rather than those of any other nation because he felt that it was the "most sportsmanlike thing to do." Mr. Cutler further said, "we must fight them with a different wea pon; they are familiar with the the ories of economics, political science and the like but are still very young in the field of the practical and vital economics. Therein lies the most ef fective weapon." After his survey of the problem from the economist point of view Mr. Cutler led an hour's discussion of the question. Some of the older mem bers of the squad led the talk and started the flame. Gradually the fresh men and the new men were led into the talk and came across with some very valuable - points in argument Ralph Noe, president of the Debate Council and Dr. Geoige McKie, fae- i uiLy aavisor ana director oi tne coun- cu are very gratmea at tne wealth of material that was manifest at Fri- day's meeting.
