Tar Heels Resolved to Make
Creditable Showing against
Georgia Tech on Grant Field
o
Coach Collins Pins Hopes on Line Billy Ferrell Only Man on
Injured List as Shuler and Dcrmahoe Break Back
Into Uniform Thirty Men Taken on Trip.
o-
The Tar Heels take on a noble task today when they battle
Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets on Grant Field in Atlanta.
The Jackets are always a full afternoon's menu for ambitious
college elevens, more so than ever on their own field, and last
week they whetted their own ap-
petites on the Alabama eleven
that has swept undefeated
through southern grid circles for
three years past.
Wallace Wade's nationally famous
Crimson Tide had washed triumphant
over every rock and point in the
Southern -Conference, but is smashed
in vain on the shores of the reincar
nated Golden Tornado. Today the
Heels will attempt that which the
Tide could not do.
Throughout the season the North
Carolinians have been an in-and-out
team, playing rotten football against
weak outfits and waxing great against
strong opposition. Despite the dope
that gives Tech an overwhelming vic-
'"tory, there is an undercurrent feel
ing over the state and South that the
Tar Heels may pull a surprise. Cer
tain forecasts of this week's results
gave Tech only a 14 to 7 win, and a
score like that it better than Ala
bama's 13 to 0 loss last week.
Only Ferrell Out
One thing stands out in the Tar
Heel prospects, and that is the great
est link in the South. Sports experts
everywhere class the seven charging
Tar Heel forwards in a division by
themselves, and there is no challeng
ing their superiority. .Their entire
strength will be in the game today,
too. -
- Indeed, the . Hillians, will enter the
game in perhaps the best physical
condition since early season. Every
man is in shape to play except Billy
Ferrell, brilliant fullback. Ferrell
wras injured in the South Carolina
game and will be in the sidelines for
perhaps another week. He made the
Tech trip, but all coaches and train
ers stated that he would not play.
Thirty Tar Heels were on the
squad that left here Thursday night.
They arrived in Atlanta early yes
terday morning and took a final light
drill on Grant Field yesterday after
noon. Their headquarters are at the
Hotel Biltmore.
Line-up
Coach Collins in his final state
ment before leaving said that "the
Tar Heels know they are up against
a hard team, and we all hope to make
a creditable showing." He gave the
probable line-up with Sapp, left end;
Captain Morehead, left tackle Shuler,
left guard; Schwartz, center; Dona
hoe, right guard; Warren, right
tackle ; McDaniel, right end ; Whis
nant, quarterback; Ward, left half;
Young, right half; and Shuford, full
back. This team averages 178 pounds
The average of the line is 182 pounds
from end to end, and of the backfield
170 pounds
Other players making the trip in
eluded Holt, Presson and Fenner,
ends; Lipscomb, Howard,-Koenig and
Adkins, tackles; Farris, Eskew and
Davis, guards; Evans, center Fur
ches and Gray quarters.; Lassiter,
Gresham and Spalding, half backs ;
and Foard and Jenkins, fullbacks. The
squad was accompanied by Coaches
Collins and Cerney, Trainer Quinlan,
and Manager Hudgins.
Negro Quartet from
A. & T. Will Present
Program Tomorrow
Tomorrow night at seven o'clock a
quartet composed of negros from A.
and T. College of Greensboro will en
tertain at the Methodist Church with
a program of old-time; songs and
spirituals. This musical offering is
sponsored by the ' Ep worth League.
This group has the reputation of
being composed of some of the best
negro voices in the colored southern
colleges. They have been well-received
on several occasions, and have been
broadcasted over radio quite a num
ber of times. v
The program will last approxi
mately one' hour, and will correspond
to the entertainment given ' by a
negro quartet in Memorial Hall last
year. J. W. Crew President of the
League states that all members of the
student body are invited to attend.

RACE WILL 1
BEMTUESDAY
Cakes and Prizes Galore for
Winners of Annual Intra
mural X-Country Rim.
The array of cakes, and prizes for
the fifth annual "Cake Race," carded
for Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
is more attractive than ever before.
The one hundred cakes, for which the
race was named, are in the process of
baking. At least they will be within
the next two days, and the special
prizes are being prepared.
As in the past "Dean" Paulsen and
the Smoke Shop will give the large
cake which goes to the winning dor
mitory or fraternity unit, and the
"dean" says it will, be bigger and
better than ever before. The Book
Exchange is following its time-honored
custom and is giving a silver
loving cup to the first man to finish.
However, a new prize is being of
fered this time which may speed up
the race a great deal. Jack Lipman
is giving an extra cake, which he
assures Intramural officials will be
a beauty, to the man leading at the
end of the first mile. Should the final
winner lead at the one mile post, he
will win two cakes and a sup; but
some of the boys with more speed than
endurance may set a fast pace for that
first mile to win Jack's big cake.
Cards were mailed last night to the
presidents of the various dormitories
asking them to appoint managers for
their buildings. These managers will
sign up prospective "cake runners"
for their dormitory team to compete
for the team cake. Old West has won
this prize for four consecutive years,
and the other outfits will strive to
break the Old West monopoly this
time. -
A final reminder is being given to
prospective entrants by Intramural
officials to get ' the ' required physical
examination. Dr. Lawson examined as
many as came around between 2:3j)
and 4:00 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and he has been asked to be at the
Gym again Monday for examination
of those who failed to get examined
yesterday. The men should remem
ber that -they cannot run if they do
not present a card from Dr. Lawson.
Dormitory managers take notice!
The course for the race will be laid
out tody and will be indicated by ar
rows a'-ong the route. The ambitious
eakeT-esters can run the regular course
on Monday as a final preparation for
the big: vent.

Fundamentalists Is Retired
Wake Forest President.
Tomorrow evening at eight o'clock
in Gerrard Hall the first University
sermon of the year will be delivered
by Dr. WT. L. Poteat, former presi
dent .of Wake Forest College.
Dr Poteat has gained a consider
able modicum "of fame for himself in
recent years through the wide sale
of his book "Can A Man Be A
Christian Today?", which is in sub
stance a slightly elaborated edition
of a series of lectures he delivered
here a few years ago. His modern
istic viewpoints were the underlying
cause of repeated efforts by Funda
mentalists over a period of several
years to dislodge him from the Wake
Forest presidency. The assaults of
the Fundamentalists always seemed
to have very little effect upon Dr.
Poteat's position as one of the fore
most educational and religious lead
ers in .the state, however, and there
was no hint that his long verbal war
fare with them had anything to do
with his action when he handed in
his resignation to the trustees of Wake
Forest last spring.
Nation-wide interest was aroused
" - 'V. i - -: .
by these clashes between Dr. Poteat
and the fundamentalists, and they oc
cupied prominent positions on the
front pages of state dailies at fre:
quent intervals over a period of years
Some space was also devoted to them
in the large metropolitan papers. "
Most of the upperclassmen and
many of the freshmen at the Univer
sity have heard Dr. Poteat speak,
He delivered a sermon at the Chapel
Hill Baptist Church October 2, and
he has spoken in Chapel Hill on sev
eral occasions during the past two or
three years.
University sermons are delivered
once every month during the school
year. Services in all the churches of
Chapel Hill are dsicontinued on the
Sunday nights when these are scheduled.
Reviewer Finds Magazine Has

Material Yet to Be Unearthed

o
r - (By Prometheus)
The Carolina Magazine descended
upon the campus "Thursday a veri
table shower of paper. Its long-delayed
appearance is dut, no doubt, to
that scurvey humorous sheet, The
Buccaneer, which got to the printers
fin finished form first, and to the in
experience of the editor. The make
up is not good, for the printers man
aged that part of it, and printers
can hardry know just how an editor
wishes his magazine to be arranged.
The contributions consist, with one
exception, of students who are just
breaking into the 'literary game' and
so the Magazine labors to please. Com
pared to previous Magazines, the re
viewer recognizes this first issue only
by name. Last year's same cover
and size is being used another form
of recognition and the editor is to
be" complimented for the duplication.
One cherishes the knowledge that
all the contributors were not serious
in executing the opi that have ap
peared. One realizes that most of the
contributions will undoubtedly enlight
en some of the student body, the fac
ulty and Chapel Hill, but we sympa
thize with the editor for being unable
to gather unto his editorial bosom
more acceptable material. The editor
stated a few days before the Magazine
appeared that he wished to make the
first number as nearly representative
of the campus life as possible and
that it was necessary to omit a few
articles. In this effort, Mr. Gardner
has succeeded admirably. There are
some men, and there should be some
women, on the campus who can really
write. It is deplorable that the editor

placed on the programs, though
the exact nature of the f eeatures
has not been determined.
Carolina Discipline
Receives High Grade
Says Dean Patterson
Village Constable Was Warned Off
Campus Fifty Years Ago.
In a recent report based on the
study of fourteen large universities,
including the University of North
Carolina, the highest grade- in disci
pline went to Carolina, asserted Dr.
A. H. Patterson, in his second lecture
on "The Spiritual Values of the Uni
versity" Friday morning in Memorial
HalL - , . ., , . ;
' Dr. Patterson said that a certain
book of fifty years ago showed a re
quest from the University that the
officials of th town keep the con
stable off the campus, lest he be hurt.
He compared that condition with the
present state of discipline in the Uni
versity, and expressed great satisfac
tion at the change.
To show the 'growth of the Uni
versity, Dr. Patterson exhibited the
first annual ever published here. It
was a small green book, of about an
inch in thickness, in strong contrast
to the present Yackety Yack.
could not obtain material from some
of these students.
Play Excellent
The one delightful spot in the Mag
azine is The Kind of Animals be Are
by Miss E. B. Rose. It is regrettable
that Miss Rose is not in school this
year. She entered the University for
the first time as a student this past
summer school and during this time
she wrote her play. Written in an
unpretentious , manner, the -play un
folds itself rather charmingly. The
author calmly' asserts that she has
no lesson to teach ; she pursues not
that elusive phantom Moral which
so often wrecks a genuine piece of
literature. Whether the sketch be true
t not we are unable to say. How
ever, it" smacks of genuine sincerity
and one suspects that notes were tak
en during such a session as is depicted.
Miss Rose bares the innocent soul of
that ideal, the American Girl. This
play alone supports the literary head
of the Magazine.
But there is a certain sparseness
about the literary vehicle that can
not be overlooked. The lead poem
Chains is a strange confusion of
words that mean naught to the re
viewer, but good poetry need please
only its author. Mr. Muse, however,
has split a harmless 'infinitive with
three words. Young M. Smith, who
was business manager-elect of the
Magazine, is the author of The Loan
another bit of " poetry. He did not
return to school this year but what
little work he has done for the Mag
azine speaks well of his business abil
ity. Flipping a page flippantly, we

HOT DISCUSSION
OF PACIFISM AT
DEBATESEMINAR
Professor Woodhouse Provokes
Heated Discussion on ,
Debate Topic.
Professor E. J. Woodhouse led "the
most heated discussion yet held by
the Debate seminar when he met with
the group on Wednesday night. Mr.
Woodhouse started out to give the
Historical background of the question,
"Resolved that the only effective at
titude toward war is an uncomprom
ising pacifism." His remarks, how
ever, were interrupted by an aspir
ant for the team and a hot two-hour
discussion resulted.
Mr. Woodhouse pointed out that re
gardless of the " side of the question
chosen the most important phase of
the argument would hang about the
"psychological causes of war." He
indicated that the American colonies
and England would never have
fought a Revolutionary war had the
two contesting powers understood the
feelings and facts that were moti
vating the leaders. He said that,
could some means be found to give the
facts, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth to the world regarding
a nation's strength and attitudes, war
would be impossible; every war must
be preceded by carefully planned prop
aganda, and an antagonistic feeling
cultivated. Mr. Woodhouse indicated
that when a nation anticipated and
aid her plans for war the citizens
were not fairly or truly represented
and were literally dragged into fight.
t was ' here that Mr. Woodhouse was
interrupted by the point blank ques
tion. "Do you believe that if the
people of a country would refuse to
fight in the case you just mentioned
that their attitude would be an effec
tive bar to war?"
From this point on the discussion
was hot, ranging from one side to
another and back again. As the dis
cussion progressed the argurers be
came more fiery until Dr. McKie had
to call the meeting to order and sug
gest that it was time to adjourn.
The Debate Council is gratified at
the interest being shown and feels
that this plan is a valuable aid in
the preparation of debates. Some
times the discussions are no more than
organized "bull sessions," at other
times, very intellectual discussions
and analysis of the query. At any
rate they are preparing the debaters
for the coming contest.
The interest that has been shown
in these Seminar meetings indicates
that debating is not a lost art, nor
is it a "glory that was once ours
and is no more." Indications are that
the best debating team that Carolina
has had in years will result.
The next discussion is to be led by
Dr. Zimmerman of the Commerce
School and will be along the lines of
Commerce and War. Dr. Zimmerman
is adequately equipped to discuss the
question. His meeting promises to be
worthwhile, not only to those inter
ested in debating but to any who are
interested in Commerce and its re
lation to nations in consideration of
war and policy. This meeting is to
be held on Thursday of next week at
seven-thirty in Manning Hall. The
public is permitted to attend and par
ticipate in the discussion.
Boxing Aspirants
Working Out Daily
Learning1 the manly art of self
defense, over forty pugilistic aspir
ants of the University are daily prac
ticing punches, jabs, upper cuts and
hooks in the Tin can under the super
vision of Boxing Coach Crayton Rowe.
Although it will be more than a
week beforethe new candidates are
ready to climb into the roped arena
for daily workouts, a great deal of
progress is being made in the teach
ing of fundamentals, Coach Rowe as
serted Thursday.
Coach Rowe is especially anxious to
have freshmen and men who are in
experienced turn out so that he may
have a larger field to choose regulars
from when the season opens shortly
after Thanksgiving. .

Thirty-three Fraternities Divide
Spoils of Four Weeks'
Rushing System.
NEW SEASON SUCCESSFUL
Most Intensive and Shortest
Rushing Season in Many
Years Comes to a Welcome
CloseLordly Rushees Now
Become Lowlv Pledges
The appearance of a nonde
script assortment of pledge but
tons, which have rescended upon
the Carolina campus like a flurry
of many-colored leaves, marks
the end of the 1927 rushing sea
son. Smiles adorn the faces of
fraternity men and pledges, as
the spoils of the conflict are di
vided. After four weeks of intensive rush
ing pledge day has come as a relief
to the Greek warriors. It is the lull
after the stcrm. For a whole month
the Hellenes have been bowing and
scraping to the frosh, and now that
the binding button has been placedon
the coat lapel the f rosh's stock is' des
tined to take a decided drop. Here
tofore they have been the favored
ones, but now they become mere
pledges, obedient to the wills of their
fraternal superiors.
The two-day period of silence af
forded some relief to the tense four
weeks. The ruling was strictly ad
hered to and probably it was bene
ficial. Although the frosh have been taken
into fraternal arms, it should be re
membered that they are not yet full
fledged fraternity men. They have to
prove, themselves eligible for initia
tion. The University demands that
they pass five of their first six cours
es, and make twro "C's."
The four weeks rushing season
seems to have been fairly successful.
At least it is an improvement over
the six-week system of the last two
years. The Council's ruling in regard
to the "Pick" certainly has helped to
stem the flow of money from the fra
ternity man's pocket. The present
system appears more satisfactory, but
here always is room for improvement.
