Although the chief center of at
tration today is the all-important
Davidson-Carolina football game, two
organizations have completed their
plans to ''gather up the loose threads
fof the day and weave them into an
attractive finish. Consequently, the
conquerors and the conquered of the
gridiron' and the exultant arid the dis
appointed fans will have an opportu
nity to rejoice or console themselves
at two dances tonight.
The Chi Phi fraternity and the Or
der of the Grail are 'the two contrib
utors to the social side of the week
end. At six o'clock the Chi -Phi guests
will gather in the ballropm of the
Carolina Inn to enjoy two hours of
dancing. The hosts have engaged the
Buccaneers for the occasion and have
left nothing undone to insure a pleas
ant tea dance. , v
At eight ' o'clock the initial affair
will be over, and the dancers,, after
a short intermission, willx continue
their evening's enjoyment at the Grail
dance.. Kay Kyser and his Orchestra
will begin "their "syncopation at nine
o'clock; The music will come, not
from the gymn. as has been the case
with former Grail hops, but from
Swain Hall, where a much more com
modious dance ..tloor extends a more
appealing invitation.
The dance is to be given in recog
nition of the Monogram Club. ' The
dancing will last until, twelve o'clock,
and there will be a short intermission
during, which special entertainment
will be afforded. The "ballroom will
be attractively decorated with gay
streamers and soft lights. '
The Order of the Grail announces
that German Club rules in regard to
drinking and the barring of fresh
men will be strictly enforced. There
will be a special effort to maintain as
perfect order as possible so that the
hop will be a success in every way.

Dean Carroll before
House Committee in
Probe of Tax League
Dean D. D. Carroll of the Schoo
of Commerce spoke before the ways
and means committee of the house
in Washington recently as a witness
in an effort by the committee to as
certain th backers of the American
Taxpayers' League, the newest organs
ization devoted to the campaign for
the repeal of the "federal estate tax
Dean Carroll told how, as . a student
of taxation, he had' received the lit
erature of ' the" American Taxpayers
League, and an invitation to serve on
the "North Carolina state committee
He asserted he could notaccept be
cause he did not "approve of the
League's mission. ' f
He explained it had seemed to him
t'kat the literature had tended to con
ceal the real identity of those behind
it, and has contained actual misrep
resentations.. "It has been chock full
of' half truths," he added. ' - V
He referred to .what he called the
fallacv of the argument of ' states'
rights, advanced by the various wit
nesses in support of the demand for
the repeal of the tax. If the law: was
repealed, Dean Carroll ' argued, the
states would not take advantage of
that fact to assess levies like inheri
tance taxes, but on the contrary would
repeal those now in' operation. :
Dean Carroll was called before the
committee as a witness after J. A.
Arnold, manager, of the League, and
J. H. Kirby) prominent in the League
work, refused to divulge the names of
the financial Hbackers. ' Dean Carroll
approved the 'efforts of some of the
committeemen in seeking to ascertain
"whose mouthpieces" were the wit
nesses coming before them.

noon to See State Trounce
Duke -Davidson Has Won
Four Out of Twenty-five Con
tests. This afternoon at two o'clock,
Kenan Stadium will echo for the
first time to the cheers, of a
great crowd, and will see for the
first time, two opposing teams
in the center of the field, when
the Tar Heels meet the David
son Wildcats here.
The new stadium has just been com
plete and made ready for the game.
All indications point to a large crowd
for the informal opening of the sta
dium, which will be dedicated at the
Thanksgiving game, between Carolina
and Virginia.
y - Several points make this Carolina
Davidson game more interesting than
the other games which have been play
ed here this season, despite the fact
that it will almost certainly have no
bearing on the state championship.
The Wildcats and the Tar Heels are
ancient football rivals, this being the
twenty-fifth clash between the two.
The first ; game was played in 1897,"
and in spite of Carolina's long string
of victories 'over Davidson, a high
spirit of rivalry still exists which is
expected to fill Kenan Stadium with
those who are-, anxious to watch them
fight the old, old battle for the twenty
fifth time. '
Watch State-Duke Game
Statistics show .that 16 of the vic
tories have fallen to the Tar Heels,
while the Wildcats have taken four
as their share. Four of the games
were scoreless -ties,! One of the Dav
idson wins came last season, when
the Wildcats flashed a brilliant aerial
attack before the game was well be
gun, and scored ten jpoints before the
Tar Heels could open their eyes. This.
fact will add quite a -bit of tenseness
to the already uncertain prospect of
today's game.
-Both teams have been preparing
steadily for this 'game today. Until
Thursday afternoon, the Tar Heel
work-outs had been maintaining a
steady weight. Then the coaches "cut
out the daily scrimmages, and ran
the squad through a fast signal drill.
Yesterday the Tar Heels went to Dur
ham' and watched the Duke-State
game, in an effort to take their minds
off the task that confronts them today.
The Wildcats have also been under
going rigorous preparation for the
past ' week:
