. . .
Red and Black Always Puts up
Big Fight against Tar Heels;
To Be First Game in Kenan
Stadium. GREY IS DAVIDSON STAR
Perhaps no intercollegiate gridiron
rivalry in Southern history; has ever
produced as many hardf ought foot
ball games as has the Carolina-Davidson
series, since 1898. In all that
twenty-nine years of struggling there
has been but three games won by
margins of more than two' 7 touch
downs, and an overwhelming percent
age of the games have been, settled
by one touchdown for the winning
team. . '
Naturally, too, since the scores have
been close and the games Tiardf ought
there have been many outstanding he
roes whose names are written indel
ibly into the athletic annals of their
respective schools. More .times than
not these individual stars have worn
the Red and Black qf Davidson, for
the Wildcat coaches have often been
forced to build their attack around
one outstanding performer. .
Such bids fair to be the case Sat
.urday when the Tar Heels meet the
Wildcats in Kenan Memorial Stadium
here. It will be the "housewarming"
game in the magnificent new amphi
theatre down south of the Tin Can,
although it will not be formally open
ed until Thanksgiving Day when Car
olina and Virginia stage their an
nual Turkey Day classic there. .
, The Wildcat eleven that romps on
the new green turf of the .Kenan Sta
dium will probably center their at
tack around its captain and star half
back. Dick Grev. Grev was the hero
v -of last year's -10 to 0 vktqry o-vep -th-
Heels, and has been the most potent
factor in his' team's play this season.
He was an All-State halfback last
year and he ; deserved the honor, for
he can run, pass and kick. With the
exception of McDowall of N. C. State
Grey is undoubtedly the best triple
threat back in "Big Five" circles.
To Match Grey the Carolina's men
tors hold a group of aces in their
hands, and they will depend on four of
these with a little team work to down
the present' State Champions. Fur
ches now seems likely to draw the
quarter call, with -Young, Ward and
Ferrell filling , the . other three posi
tions. The alternate quartet includes
Whisnant, quarter; Gresham and
Spalding, halves and Foard, fullback.
They will endeavor to overcome by
co-ordinated play what Grey will at
tempt single-handed. The prospect
r brings to mind the 1921 game in Winston-Salem
which ended in a 0 to 0
tie. Carolina presented such stars as

respective teams to anticipated vic

Governor McLean completed these
arrangements when he replied to Gov
ernor Byrd after the Virginia gov
ernor hg4 inquired as to the Tar Heel
Governor's plans for the. game.
R. O. Everett, president of the Dur
ham county chapter, of the University
Alumni Association, is putting forth
every effort to relieve traffic conges
tion during the day of the game in
and around Durham, it. was stated.
Mr. Everett will plan to have direc
tion isigns placed- along; the streets
leading through Durham on to Chapel
Hill. He will also try to establish an
information bureau in the Washing
ton Duke Hotel to assist those attend
ing the game. - ' v ; ' -
Mr. Everett has written the secre
tary of the general alumni association
offering to give any assistance which
he canin making conditions more fav

The only thing which the two gov

SOCIAL EVENTS
OF WEEK-END TO
ATTRACT CROWD
Third Grail Dance of Quarter
Will Be Given at Swain Hall;
Preceeded By Chi Phi Tea
Dance.
This week-end' promises to be one
I of the liveliest of the fall quarter.
The visitors who will flock to the Hill
for the Davidson-Carolina football
game will find ample -social entertain
ment in two dances Saturday eve
ning; . ; ' ' : ' '
The first dance of the evening, a
tea dance to be given by the Chi
Phis at the Carolina Inn, will follow
on the heels of the football struggle.
It-will last from six to eight o'clock.
The Buccaneers will furnish the music,
and the ballroom will be attractively
decorated.
The v Order of the Grail will com
plete the gay week-end by' giving
their third hop of the season. The
order has been fortunate in obtaining
the use - of Swain Hall for the occa
sion, and the large dance floor should
serve to relieve congestion and so
make this? dance much more attrac
tive than preceding ones. Kay Kyser
and his Orchestra will be an addition
al drawing card in this nine till twelve
affair, and lavish decorations will en
.hance. the charm of the hop. The
dance will be given in honor of "the
Monogram Club. There will be a
short' intermission during which
special entertainment will be afford
ed. .. .
. German Club regulations concern
ing drinking and the barring "of frosh
will be rigidly enforced. .
Although this hop is expected to be
one of the outstanding social spot
lights of the year, the regular admis
sion price will not be raised.

KALIF FORGETS HIMSELF
THE KALIF OF KAVAK
Boflh by Ernes? Thompson
. Music by Parker H. Daggett
Produced by Wigue and.Masque
' '
Memorial Hall. Nov. 8 and 9.
(By Joe Mitchell)
The Kalif of Kavak is undoubtedly,
indubitably, a flop. As a campus or
ganization the Wigue and Masque ap
pears to be almost as efficient as last
year's staff of the Yackety Yack, and
their result is quite as bad. Plainly,
except " for; Mr. William Atlee, Mr.
Erwin and Mr. Rollins' dancing, an
acrobatic specialty, and the music, it
isn't worth mentioning.
In the first place, the book was a
good deal worse than the usuaHiokum;
puerile and terribly hackneyed, it fell
as flat as any Orpheum circuit two
time booking, placing on a civilized
sta'ere. The best things about 'the
songs were the titles, and' they were,
rotten. However, the music was very
good. The orchestration of Mr. Dag
gett's music . by Mr. McCorkle was
excellent. One . number, stupidly
titled,. Back to Carolina, carried a
knock .down and drag out rhythm
which deserved a better book to back;
it. The grand finale was also passing
fair. : ; ' - vV . : ; ' . "
Mr. Gene Erwin was as usual a
sylph-like, willowy young thing. His.
solo dances were the high spots of the
show, if any, and one specialty with
Mr. Tom : Rollins was almost worth
looking at. The chorus was prepos
terous. With due apologies to Miss
Dorothy Parker, if the passing grade
was F , the entire chorus would flunk
out. With the exception of Hedge
cock, Hole, and Uzzell, they looked, to
be the most awkward men on the
campus.; Perhaps the dances were not
supposed to be understood. Perhaps
they were attempts at futurism, sym
bolism. A good title for the third
dance in act I woild be "Giraffe with
the Gout." The chorines gesticulated
wildly with their hands and stumbled
excitedly over their own feet, contin
ually looking at each other in an ex
tremely ; embarrased manner, as if
seeking moral guidance, s The most

WOODBERRY CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
Fleming Wiley to Head Prep
Men This Year; Albert Whis
nant, Ruff in and Dunn Other
Officers.
: Continuing a custom of past years,
the Woodberry Forest Club met
Tuesday evening to elect officers and
to discuss plans for the ensuing year.
Due to the small percentage of mem
bers present the only business trans
acted was the election of officers.
Fleming Wiley of Durham was elect
ed president and Albert Whisnant; of
Charlotte was elected vicerpresident.
The offices of secretary and treasurer
wrent to two freshmen, Peter, Ruffin
of Wilmington and William Dunn of
New Bern respectively.
This club is . composed of former
students' of Woodberry Forest school.
Although a Virginia prep school, a
large number of North Carolinians
annually attend it and as a .large
number - of these students return ; to
North Carolina for tfyeir college edu
cation, it was decided to organize the
club in order to keep in closer com
munication with Woodberry. The or
ganization of the first club occurred
about f our t years ago, Since that
time the club has met annually and
has. frequently given entertainments
for the visiting ; Woodberry teams.
Last year the club . entertained the
Woodberry Forest track team after
the Southern Interscholastic Meet
held here with a dance. Tho club was
largely instrumental in securing the
permission of the school authorities
for the attendance of the team.-
Although no plans were discussed,
it is expected that the club will also
entertain any of the school's 'teams
visiting here this year.

After Visit Bjorkman Says
Carolina Profs Very Human
;" . o
Noted Critic and Author Praises U. N. C. Faculty in Newspaper
Article; Very Lovable He Finds. '
, , o- , -
University of North Carolina pro
fessors are lovably human, says Ed
win Bjorkman, well known literary
critic in a special article in the Ashe
ville Times, in which he gives his im
pressions of Chapel Hill following a
recent visit.
; After reviewing the achievements of
the institution, which he attributes to
the high quality of the faculty, Mr:
Bjorkman goes. on to say that he met
thirty or more members of that fac
ulty during the week he was here and
remarks that "they did not at all act
or talk like the proverbial professor."
"There is one more impression to be
recorded," he says, "and perhaps it is
the most, important one of all, that
key to everything I have tried to tell
in this article. The men in the Uni
versity faculty struck me as thorough
ly, sincerely and, I might say, lov
ably human. They did not at all act
or talk like the proverbial professor.
They never displayed the slightest
tendency to climb up on a pedestal.
They never 'showed off.' They dread
ed 'talking shop.' "And when they
talked along this line,' it was always
about the work of some other man or
men. They told stories. They were
TAR HEELS WILL
PLAY GAME WITH
HARVARD IN 1928
First Game' with Northern Team
In Four Years to Be Played
With Cambridge Eleven.
PLAY DUKE IN DECEMBER
. The Tar Heelswill clash, with Har
vard at Cambridge next year on Oc
tober 13, it was announced by C. W.
Woollen, graduate manager of Ath
letics at the University, last night.
Either Tennessee or V. M. I. will be
dropped to make room for the game
with the John Harvards.
Duke will be played December 4,
the Saturday following Thanksgiving
week, instead of November 19, the
date of the clash with the Blue Dev-
"Tils this year. Contrary to the an-
nouncement made by A. J. McKevlin,
writing in the Raleigh News and Ob
server yesterday morning, that the
Wake Forest-Carolina clash would be
moyed up to October 27, or some sub
sequent Saturday, Mr. Woollen stated
that the Deacons would be met in the
first game of the season, as has been
the case for the past several years.
This year Maryland occupied the
October 13 date on the' schedule, and
it will be necessary to move the game
with the .Old Liners up to a subse
quent date in order to.' make room
for the Harvard clashy
Mr. Woollen staed that the re
mainder of the slate for. next year
had not been definitely drawn up, but
that all - of the North Carolina "Big
Five" games would be retained in all
probability. Georgia Tech will be
played next year under the two year
contract drawn up with the Techmen
last fall, while it is understood that
South Carolina will also appear on
the schedule again.'
: The two year agreement with Ten
essee expired with- the game here Oc
tober 3, and it seems .most likely that
the Vols will be the team to be drop
ped from the schedule to make room
for Harvard. The V. M. I. cadets
would be played here in case they are
fretained on the slate for, next year,
while the Tennessee game would be
played away from home. ' .
The Crimson's 1928 card, sent, out
from Cambridge yesterday morning,
shows. Army, Lehigh, Springfield, and
the Tar Hefels replacing Brown, Purr
due, Indiana, and Vermont. The game
at the Cambridge stadium next Octo
ber will mark the first far-Northern
trip for the Carolinians since the ter
mination of the Yale-U. N. C. series
year before last. The game with the
Bulldogs was' always one of the high
spots of the year for the University,
foorballistically speaking, and the ad
dition of . another of the members of
the once famous but now practically
defunct "Big Three" to the card for
next year will mean a distinct addi
tion of prestige for the Tar Heels.
Harvard is still ranked high among
the football teams of the nation, and
a win over them would mean a great
deal of glory for. the University foot
ball squad. ;
eager to hear about situations , and
opinions in other parts of the state.
They proved 'as good listeners as talk
ers, and most of them seemed richfy
gifted by that saving sense of humor
that goes as far as anything else to
ward preventing life from stagnating
in a morass of more or less warranted
self-satisfaction."
Referring to the fact that more than
40, per cent of the teaching staff are
graduates of the University, Mr
Bjorkman remarks that , "it may be
said, safely and justly, that the Uni
versity is a native product in the best
sense, not imposed from without, but
deeply rooted in the popular soil of
the, state and therefore largely typi
cal of forces and qualities character
istic of the entire people of North
Carolina,-" If , as I thinkf the fruit be
speaks the nature of the tree,-then
that tree must be of pretty high grade.
But what I wonder at times is whether
the tree quite realizes the fine quality
of. this fruit of its own bearing . . .
a fruit that may be tested by the fact,
among many others, that it is the only
Southern institution' of its kind ad
mitted to membership in the Associa
tion of American Universities." ,

NOTED CHOIR TO
SINGIPURHAM
Dayton Westminster Choir to
Sing Tonight on Concert Tour;
i Will Tour Europe.
Tonight the Dayton 1 Westminster
Choir will give a concert in the city
auditorium in Durham.
" This choir is recognized as one of
the two best choral" groups in Amer
ica, and is considered the best . Amer
ican church choir". The organization
is just starting a tour through the
east and south before going to Eu
rope on a concert tour which will last
up into the summer. In St, Louis
ar? audience of ; over nine thousand
heard the first concert ,of the tour,
and the St.' Louis papers devoted front
page space to praise of the work of
the choir.
Singing with the organization, there
are several native North , Carolinians.
There are eleven singers from Winston-Salem
in the group; two of these,
Edward Rondthaler and Henry Pfohl,
are former members of .the Univer
sity Glee Club, attending school here
two years ago. Other singers , locally
know are-. Miss AgnesvMcLean, Ashe
ville, and Miss Nancy Campbell, w"ho
was formerly a teacher at Winthrop
College. . All the members of the choir
are also students' of the Westminster
Choir School, and are in ; the - second
yeaf of their three year course in
choir work. x '-
The program is entirely sacred and
is divided into two major groups, the
older hymns and chants and the more
modern compositions. The most un
usual number on the program is a
negro spiritual, "Listen to the Lamb,"
which was composed by a negro and
is consequently . full of the spirit and
melody of the race. A special ar
rangement of "Going Home," from
Largo", is afsof being . sung. : The
music of this choir is notable because
it is almost entirely written for eight
parts, giving a wide range of effects
for four male and four-female voices.
BOVINE AND FLIY
HAVE DISASTROUS
MEET SATURDAY
John Calvin Steers Ford Straight
Upon Nonchalant Bossie.
The next time John Colvin . and . his
flivver encounter a cow on the public
highway they will surrender the right
of way with alacrity and even hastily
hie themselves in the opposite direc
tiori if bossy exhibits an inclination to
be pugnacious about it. The man who
disputes the high road with a cow-
pays and pays and pays, as John sad
ly attests.' K - '"' i
Last Saturday as Colvin, who is 'a
senior at the University, was bowling
along on his way to the V. M. I.
Carolina game in his collegiate fliv
ver, a vehicle of ancient vintage, at
full speed ahead, he rounded a curve
several miles this' side of Lexington
and came upon a cow standing in the
middle of the road, placidly obvious
to approaching vehicles as she con
tentedly munched her cud. Colvin
drove his Ford on at undiminished
speed, depending upon the bovine to
remove her presence before he reach
ed the spot where she was standing.
She gazed scornfully at the onrush
ing flivver and refused to budge.
Flivver and cow collided with a ter
rific impact. The result was stew
beef and a pile of junk.
When the dazed Colvin came back
to full consciousness, he became aware
of an enraged farmer standing over
him, gesticulating wildly and shout
ing something about the murder of
his prize milch, cow: As soon as Col
vin had soothed the former's wounded
feelings and assuaged his sense of
loss with a check, he turned his at
tention to his beloved Ford. A casual
survey convinced him that the remains
were a liability instead of an asset,
but he succeeded in coaxing it to the 4
nearest garage, where -a new radiator
and several minor parts restored it
to running condition- He asserts that
hereafter he will give, a wide berth to
bovines he meets upon the highway.

Since' then it has taken an active part
and has sent representatives to every
meeting. It was elected to the presi
