Tar Heels Lose to Georgia
Tech in Hard Fought Game
On Grant Field Saturday
Harry Schwartz Is Praised by
Sports Writers; "Undisput
able All-Southern Center
Carolina Plays in Shadow of
Goals But Unable to Overcome
Enemy; Yellow Jackets Win
13 to 0; Exciting Game.
Not since Sherman's famous
march to the sea has Atlanta
and Atlantans received such a
scare as they had last Saturday
afternoon when a fighting, blue
jerseyed team of Tar Heels from
the University of North Caro
lina invaded the city to battle
Georgia Tech to a 13 to 0 score
in the greatest game of the Dixie
football season.
Those fighting Tar Heels entered
Grant Field, historic home of the
Golden Tornado, in quite the orthodox
fashion, by way of their private
dressing room. But they never stop
ped when they got . on the field.
That's where it was different Ala
bama's nationally famous Crimson
Tide got that far, but no further.
All the force of the tide was spent
in futile efforts to sweep over the
Jacket defenses in mid-field, and none
of Wallace Wade's cohorts could pene
trate far into Tornado land. Not so
with the Tar Heels! Flashing a daz
zling running attack, mixed -with a
short passing drive that could not be
stopped. Young, Ward, Foard and
Whisnant swept into the very shadow
of the Jacket goal posts.
As the game began Tom Young
broke loose in a series of thrilling
dashes to place the ball on Tech's 14
yard line, but they failed to make fur
ther gains, and Whisnant's try for a
field goal flew wild. . Four other times
they hammered : and passed over
Tech's stiffest defense to knock at the
doors of victory.
On two occasions they were stopped
within the Tornado one-foot line,
while thousands of Jacket alumni and
Georgia sympathizers squirmed and
turned in their seats.
The Jackets netted their first touch
down on "an unexpected lateral pass
from Durant to Crowley, and the
Tech captain raced 8 yards over the
line. This score came in the closing
minutes of the first half.' This began
to loom as the margin of victory as
the game went on and the Jackets
could not score; but late in the final
period "Stumpy" Thomason swung
clear around the Tar Heel left end and
sprinted 75 yards for the second score
and the 13 to 0 win.
The entire Carolina team played
brilliantly, but Harry . Schwartz played
a super-game at center. Atlanta
sports-writers were lavish in their

becoming bored of our system of edu
cation by providing an eight-day trip
up north. To the Seniors the trip is
not for pleasure only, although , it is
not to be doubted but that they will
dare to take in a movie, tell a few
jokes or otherwise amuse themselves
in some other equally harmless ways.
They go to inspect several of the
large plants located in Baltimore,
Washington, and Pittsburgh.
The party, some thirty odd in num

the first of November and will go to
Baltimore via Durham, Clarksville,
Richmond, and Washington. From
Baltimore they proceed to Pittsburgh
via Frederick and. Hagerstown. The
party will leave Pittsburg for Wash

thence to Chapel Hill. One whole day
is to be spent in Baltimore. The as
piring electricians will, in their two
day visit at Pittsburgh, visit the
Westinghouse plants located there and
also inspect the steel mills of the
"Smoky City." At Washington, on
the return trip, they will spend part
of the day visiting the Central Station

WHOOPEE BOYS,
N. C. COLLEGE!
We are publishing in this is

of the campus" at North Carolina
College for Women in Greensboro.
The eight girls which we have
pictured in this issue are those
who were selected by the student
body of our sister institution to
represent the eight ideals of the
N. C. C. W. student body and
will have their pictures in the an

These superlatives were select
ed at a mass meeting of the stu
dent body only after a hard
fought contest by the girls. " Some
of the superlatives have attended
dances and other social functions
on the University campus and are
well and favorably known here.
RUSHING SEASON
IS NOW HISTORY
Fraternity Men Turn to Books Fol
lowing Hectic Four Weeks.-
It seems like a different campus
now that the lid has been stamped on
that ' sizzling, ' boiling pot known as
rushing season. All the battle, confu
sion and worry are. things of the past.
Pledge day proved that enmities in
curred during the hectic battle were
only temporary, and the satisfied and
disappointed lodges have almost for
gotten the nerve-bracking four weeks.
Pledges discover that they are not
nearly as important as they were led
to believe and are surprised that they
still have friends , in other fraterni
ties. j Fraternity men -and their proteges
are now - turning their backs on
Greek matters and are attempting to
remember what is their main object
in being at the Hill. They find them
selves on the edge of the menacing
shadow -of mid-terms, and realize that
they must put forth their best efforts
to check their courses.
Interf raternity Cup
For Scholarship Is
Won By Pi Kappa Phi
Group Average Above Grade of C to
Win Scholastic Honors. ,
The silver loving cup given each
year by the Pan-hellenic council to
the men's national fraternity with the
highest grades was-won. for the year
1926-1927' by the Pi Kappa Phi fra
ternity, it is announced; following the
release by the registrar of last year's
grades.
The average for the -Pi Kappa Phi
group last year was 2.74, something
better than a "C." This places them
by a slight margin ahead of Beta
Theta Pi and Zeta Tsi, holders of the
cup in previous years.
The list was actually headed by
Pi Beta Phi and Chi Omega, women's
sororities, who tied for first place
with a grade of 2.51, and Theta Phi,
local engineering fraternity.-:. Pi Kap
pa Phi, however, was at the' head of
the men's national group and thus
eligible for the cup.
The fraternity average last year of
3.19 was somewhat higher than the
general academic average of 3.45,
while the freshman average of. 3.72
was very low.

Former Wake Forest College
President Vividly Portraysa
"Radiant Christ."
Pictures Jesus Christ as a Bril
liant, Self - Luminous Star
Which Radiates Joy With Un
jaded Superlative Powers,
Vividly portraying a "Radiant
Christ" and sketching a life shining
with joy and expectations for the fu-:
ture for those who follow the teach
ings of the Nazarene, Dr. W. L. Po
teat, former president of Wake For
est College, delivered a compelling ser
mon to a large audience in Memorial
Hall Sunday night. The services
marked the first University -Sermon
of the year, following the custom pre
valent here for a decade or more of
holding a union service once a month
especially for University students in
which all the churches of Chapel Hill
unite. .
Dr. Poteat was introduced by Dr.
Horace Williams, of the University
faculty, as a man who has probably
been more deeply interested in the
young manhood of the state than any
other "one man. Dr. Williams char
acterized him as one of the chief
factors in the production of the train
ing that has sent a steady stream of
real men out into the life of the
state, which would not have been pos
sible had there not been real men
like the ex-president of Wake Forest
in the institutions from which they
were sent out.
"Permit men to present the radiant
Christ," Dr. Poteat said. "With the
boldness and dash of youth the Sa
viour cried to the people 'The reign
of Heaven is near.' He was a young
man, with superlative powers un
jaded. Up to the gates of death he
strode, through the gates he hurled
himself for us."
Jesus prayed that God. would make
the cross glorious, saying to him "for
out of it I shall win the world, and
upon it shall come to thee." He was
never more radiant than when he was
upon it. -
The Master radiated joy. It was
true that he was a man of sorrow,
as the prophets had foretold that he
was to be, but the man of sorrow may
also be the man of joy. Tears and
laughter are often very near to one
another and their waters often min
gle. Great natures are always capa
ble of depths of feeling, both joy and
sorrow.
"The old conception . of religion
which held that to be good one must
be miserable, is entirely false," Dr.
Poteat declared. "It is true that it
is grave, but it is the gravity of all
fact. It is true that it includes re
straint, but it is restraint of excess
that it embodies. It is ennobling, but
it is restraint nevertheless. These be
long to, but do not characterize Chris

COLORED SINGERS
PLEASELEAGUERS
Quartet from A. & T. College
Gives Delightful Concert at
Methodist Church.
A well balanced quartet of colored
singers from the A. and T. College of
Greensboro gave a delightful program
under the auspices of the Epworth
League Sunday night at the Methodist
Church. Their program, consisting of
selections from both sacred and spir
itual songs, was well received by the
large crowd that had gathered to hear
the singers.
Mr. Crew, in introducing the sing
ers to the audience, stated that this
program would be one of the many
that would be given under the aus
pices of the Epworth League during
the' year. He further announced that
the League was 'trying to secure Mr.
H. L. -Mencken, editor of the Ameri
can Mercury, who visited the Uni
versity in : the fall of last year, to
speak before ; the -Epworth League in
the near future.
The A. and T. singers, who were
delayed on account of having lost
their way, were preceded by the Chap
el Hill colored quartet who sang, "Is
That Religion." Among the numbers
sang by the former quartet were,
"Remember Thy Creator," "Crossing
the Bar," "Swing Low, Sweet Char
iot,'' "Good News," Get Along, Phar
oah," "Down by the River Side,"
"Steal Away," and '?My Savior Said,
Come Unto Me."
