THE TAR HEEL
Page Three
INTR A-MUR ALLY
SPEAKING O' SPORTS
By "Onlooker"
To the Tennis Courts!
Hail! You Tar Heel racketeers
take notice now! Let's hie away to
the clay courts out beyond the "Tri
angle Dormitories" and get the old
cuts and "english" on the ball. The
Annual All-University Doubles Tour
nament, will -officially open next Wed
nesday, afternoon, and all ambitious
tennis hounds should take notice.
File Entrance Blanks Early5
All entrance blanks' must be filed
before the draw, can be made and the
brackets made up for .the first round,
and all first round matches will be
played off that Wednesday afternoon
(November 9) barring rainy weather
or muddy courts. Any bonafide Uni
versity student is- eligible, and every
one is urged to enter. Each dormi
tory may enter as many pairs as it
can enlist, and each fraternity is re
quested and urged to get a couple
of doubles teams in the race. A num
ber of boarding houses and other units
were represented last fall. The only
restriction on entrance is that no one
man may play with more than one
doubles team.
There Is a Deadline!
There will be a deadline on this en
try business. All . entrance blanks
from dormitories, fraternities', or in
dependent pairs must be in the office
by Saturday night of this week. No
one may enter after 9 :00 o'clock Sat
urday night, for at that time the lists
will be closed and the bracketsj made
up. That means that all who are go
ing to the V. M. I. game in Lexing
ton must have their entries in , the
Intramural office, 204 South Building,
by tomorrow Jiight. Do not forget
that Saturday night at 9:00 o'clock is
the last minute when you can enter!
A Few Figures in Football
Just take a peep down below at the
standing of the Fraternity Tag Foot
ball League. Sigma Phi Sigmas still
top that circuit with five won and one
lost. . The Betas finallystopped Cap
tain Arthur Daniels' men last week,
winning 12 to 0 when Charlie Wad
dell galloped over for two touchdowns.
The Betas themselves have four wins
and two losses, while the Pi Kappa
Phis, with two postponed games yet
to play, have won two and lost two.
Any One of These May Win
Figure a moment, and you will see
that any of these teams may win the
Fraternity championship. The Sig
mas stopped Bill Scott's Pi Kappa
Phis 14 to 13 in their previous meet
ing, but if the Pi Kappa Phis should
dump the Sigma Phi Sigmas in their
next meeting, while the Betas win a
gain then the Betas and Sigma Phi
Sigmas will be tied. -Then, too, if the
Glenn - Shepherd - Scott combination
should win both tKeir postponed
games; there'd be a triple tie. There
might be a whole world's series a
mong these three teams. Who can
tell?
. New Dorms Adds Three More
The teams may come and teams
.may go, but seemingly New Dorms'
and her "Four Horsemen" go on for
ever. They were, facing a stiff game
with Grimes as this column goes to
press, but they had the odds on the
lads from the quadrangle in that bat
tle. In the past week the Campus
Champions added three more vic
tories and now top the Dormitory
League with eight wins and no de
feats. Incidentally, they are the only
undefeated eleven on the campus.
Two Close Calls for the "Horsemen"
Two of those three New' Dorms
wins were close calls Old East held
them to 7 and 0 last Wednesday, and
on Tuesday of this week Old West
battled them fiercely before falling
12 to 0. . The Easterners and West
erners both penetrated far into horse
man territory several times, and. the
New Dorms outfit had to play bang
up defensive ball to keep their goal
line un trampled. Their brightest feat
was a 48 to 0 triumph over Mangum,
breaking their own high scoring
mark of 446 to 0 set earlier this sea
son. Possible All-Campus Players
Already they are beginning to talk
of All-Campus possibilities from both
leagues. There are five from 'last
year's AllrCampus eleven still play
ing. Those men and their t present
teams are "Pop" Shepherd, halfback;
Dan Moore, guard; and Frazier Gleiln,
center (all from Pi Kappa Phi); Lu-
. ther Byrd, guard; (of New Dorms)
and- Johnny Norwood, nd (of Chi
Phi). Other possible all-star ma
terial includes " Harper, ,01d West;
"Red" Johnson and "Ooky" Neiman,
" Grimes; Slate and Pearson, Ruffin;
Stokes, "J;" Laxson, Pi Kappa Phi;
Daniels and Fort, Sigma Phi Sigma;
and' Galloway and Waddell, Beta
Theta Pi. Then, too, New Dorms has
a number of stars in both the line
and backfield that will demand at
tention from pickers. ;
GROUPS ARE TO
DISCUSS VARIOUS
CAMPUS TOPICS!
Dormitory Discussion Groups
To be Started Soon; Prize To
Be Given Group Showing
Most Interest.
The organization of Discussion
Groups took place last night on each
floor of every dormitory on the cam
pus at nine o'clock. At this time the
various groups formed themselves in
to an organized gathering and elect
ed secretaries. "The purpose of these
groups is to get together the Univer
sity students and to discuss topics
based on campus problems.
There will be a series of five dis
cussions, one each Monday night from
nine to ten o'clock p. m. The Uni
versity bell will ring at the beginning
and at the close of each meeting. At
the end of the five weeks a banquet
will be given to the group winning the
highest percentage. The points on
which judgment will be taken are as
follows: number of men on the hall;
number of men out' of those available
enrolled in the group; attendance at
meetings ; increase in number of mem
bers in group from one meeting to
another.'
The duty of the secretary is to
keep records of the meetings, and to
turn them in to Miss Ames' office on
the 'first floor of the Y. M. C. A.
immediately after each session is com
pleted. Prospective topics were selected
last Monday night for ' discussion at
future meetings. These questions
which pertain to problems which have
arisen at some time or another on
the University campus, and which also
pertain to everyday public problems,
are selected from a list of about
twenty-five.. John O. Allison is head
of the Dormitory Discussion Groups
for this season.
The following topics "are offered by
the leaders for discussion: Is the
College Life on this campus immoral?
What is the use of being good?
Is the present American Life super
ficial? Why so?
Why does America lead the world in
divorces?
Is'it, anyone's job to fight the bootleg
ger on this campus?
Do petting parties weaken the mind?
Is college life running too much to
athletics?
Does the honor system work on this
campus. If not, why not?
Is college a success or a failure?
What does God mean to you?
What is a Christian?' Am I a Chris
tian? ,
What is the relation between students
and profs on this campus ? What
is the ideal relation? Do we have
that here? Why?
Can a football-monogram man at this
-University lead an all-around col
lege life? -
Does Christianity have anything to
do with fraternities?
Are there any to whom the modern
dance is harmful influence? What
is the physiology and the psychol
ogy of the modern dance?.-.
What good does it do to. pray?
What is an atheist? Are there any
"atheists" on this campus?
Is jazz music? What is the psychol
ogy of jazz? v
Is the church meeting the deeper needs
of the men and women of today?
If not, why not?
What becomes of you when you die?
Is there such a thing -as a soul?
What- is the difference between the
highest form of animal life and the
lowest form of human life?
Is the world yany, better or worse to-
' day than it has been "in the past?
Can Will Durant's defense of prog
ress be successfully controverted?

Well, the football team is consistent
at any rate.
Recently they've been playing no
hit, no-run games.
The only trouble is that the home
runs they make don't count as scores.
From appearances, the Carolina stu
dents celebrated more Saturday, night
in Raleigh than the State boys.
Probably the U. N. C. bunch was
celebrating the moral victory we hear
so much about.
"News Outranks Editorial Page
Says Tom Bost," headline.' The col
umnist begs to disagree with him. In
a few of the papers that I have seen,
the editorial page outranks anything
else in the paper.
Bliss Carman, poet, will speak here
tonight. Here's an excellent chance
for some of the Magazine poets to
grab off a few tips.
But we won't blame the result on
Mr. Carman.
Which reminds us that The Spear
man is full of ideas. Should the Buc
caneer decide to emulate its most wor
thy contemporary, The Ghost... of
George Washington University and
publish a "Silly Number," the Buc
caneer editor feels positive that The
Spearman, who in the past has been
a contributor to the comic, would make
a most worthy contributor to that
number.
Since we are to have a Grail dance
this Saturday, a fair scheme for dec
orations would be all the old trophy
footballs.
These might be repainted to give
them the appearance of new ones.
We notice that Mr. Eugene O'Neill
has written a new play called the
Harry Ape. . Perhaps this is a sequel
to the playwright's Hairy Ape.
We also notice that Mr. Cunning
ham "has spoke" of Mr. O'Neill's
work before. Surely Mr. Cuningham
wouldn't do such a thing. English 1
may be taken this quarter. .
Perhaps the University will install
a class for columnists".
-
But some would certainly register
for it with the idea that they would
learn something about Grecian archi
tecture. -
Tar Heel' story says that H. P.
Seiwell will take trip around the world
and will go as near the two poles as
possible. . So he'll touch all the coun-:
tries including Poland and perhaps
the Scandinavian.
And again speaking about Raleigh.
The Cheerios certainly whooped it up
over there. Wouldn't it' be nice if
someone .could gather all the rest of
the Cheerio type on the campus and
make the organization about 1,000
strong? Cheerio.
And why not a representation of
them along on the Playmaker trips
for Gallery Gods?
Our paragrapher says that a man
was arraigned before the judge in
Greensboro last week for tooting his
horn at .a girL Well, if he tooted his
horn at any one of several that have
been seen in Greensboro, he must
have been tooted.
We also notice that a Wake county
vagrant refuses to eat. Yes, I was in
the same restaurant the other day.
THE PERCH OF THE DEVIL
Gertrude Atherton, the novelist
from California, writes novels that
are essentially melodramic. : Their
moving picture possibilities are ob
viously great. . So with "The Perch of
the Devil," the designation for a sec
tion of mountainside in Montana, and
also the source of hell for Pat O'Mal
ley and Mae Busch in "their movie,
married life.
Pat strikes pay ore and buys his
wife a - mansion. Mae returns still
in love with her husband, though the
latter through the 'machinations of
Jane, who wants to marry, him her
self, thinks Mae is interested only in
his money. Mae discovers she is being
double crossed by the other woman
and pursues her into a deserted mine
shaft. This is flooded and the two
women indulge" in a life and death
struggle in the onrushing waters. It
is one of the most effective and melo
dramatic climaxes to a picture that
one C3n well conceive and is mighty
well done. It will be shown at the
Pickwick Theatre Friday.
THE BEAUTY SHOPPERS
A pretty and penniless little miss
arrives in New York from" some rural
spot and finds that her charm dis
played in a beauty shop is of more
monetary value to her than her few
paintings which she had hoped to sell
to a reputable art dealer.. So starts
this program picture, a pleasant e
nough entertainment. The girl over
estimates the value, of her paintings,
thinking them worthy to repose in
any of the larger galleries.' Unknown
to her, a jazzy roommate-mixes her
sketches with those of another - and
more talented artist, and the trusting
heroine is honored as having contrib
uted some of the season's best art
work, the product of the other painter.
Of course she is found out and
there is the devil to. pay. Humiliated
she does not know where to turn, re
fusing help from an admiring boy
friend. So it is back to the old grind
in the beauty shop for .her. For a
time it looks as if the fishy-eyed Vil
lain will get her in his power; but this
does not come to pass, for before the
end of the tale all difficulties are
ironed out and she is satisfied to ac
cept her ardent admirer. See it at
the Pickwick theatre today.
Fire Laddies Not Afraid of
Flames; Comedy Team Burned
If 'singeing is a tonic for (the hair
then Wallace Beery and Raymond
Hatton will soon , have nianes like a
mop. s' .
They had their hair singed almost
daily for the sake of their art while
"Firemen, Save My Child''- arriving
at the Carolina today was being
made.
Each -day Director Edward Suther
land cunningly devised some new
scheme for shooting flames at his
stars in a fashion that is expected to
both entertain and thrill audiences.
At the rate of, 50 :cents a singe, the
average price in barbed shops, Beery
and Hatton each saved ; about nine
dollars by being assigned to a fire

almost constantly about his upper lip

"In about a month when any bar
