TAR BABIES AT
VIRGINIA TODAY
FOR FINAL GAME
Freshmen Meet University of
Virginia Frosh in Charlottes
ville This Afternoon.
ARE UNDEFEATED TO DATE
Too Few Games Played for: Car
olina to Claim State Cham
pionship, But Frosh Have Had
Impressive Season.
Twenty-five .scrapping members of
the Tar Baby football squad left last
night for Charlottesville where they
stage their last and final game of the
season with the Virginia frosh this
afternoon.
The Carolina yearlings have not
dropped a game , so far this season.
Wins over State and Maryland and
a tie with Duke is the record and
every man is determined' to put the
Virginia game beneath the "won", col
umn. Both Virginia and Carolina
have played the Maryland frosh, the
Tar Babies coming out with a 12 to
0 win while some time ago the Cav
aliers got only a tie count. This looks
well for the Carolinians, though com
parative scores mean little. '
It would be rather a hard matter
to make any claim for the Tar Babies
as State champs. There have been too
few games with other state teams to
consider the idea, but as it stands
the Carolina freshmen licked the State
Wolflets 18 to 0 and gained a 6-6 score
with Duke. The Blue Imps have wiped
up everything else in. the state and if
one were able to judge by comparative
scores the Tar Heels could claim a
joint championship with Duke, or sec
ond place, at least. , "

Few Predictions Can Be Safely
Made as to Turkey Day
Outcome.
Football mentors are doing a rush
ing business this week. For the last
several days Coach Collins and . his
staff have been putting their-charges
through the final polishing for the
Duke game today. Iri the meantime
they , have been grooming the Tar
Heels for the annual Turkey Day
clash with the Virginia Cavaliers
which comes off Thursday in Kenan
Memorial stadium along with the ded
ication of the huge bowl. ,
Time will tell the results of the
Duke game rather shortly but there
are still a few days left to speculate
over the outcome of the game with
the Cavaliers.
Scores Favor Virginia
From the standpoint of scores the
Old Dominion eleVen has a better
chance to carry home the bacon. , But
all those who have been here long
enough to witness any of the annual
Thanksgiving struggles between the
Carolina and Virginia teams will as
surse those in doubt that if the Tar
Heels ever fight this is one time they
do that thing, and that past records
have no relation to this game in the
least. '
Getting a little closer td the subject
we 1 find that the Heels registered a
7 to 6 victory oyer the Old Liners of
Maryland in a sea of mud on Emer
son field while .the Cavaliers licked
the Maryland eleven 21 to 0 last Sat
urday.
Cavaliers Lay Off Today.
And another thing: since "their last
Saturday's victory the Virginians
have put their undivided efforts to
ward preparing for their invasion of
North Carolina, no game being schedT
uled for today. On the other hand
the Heels have had to divide their
time in order Ho be in favorable con
dition .to meet the Blue Devils this
afternoon and also be able to take
on the Cavaliers Thursday.
If the Tar Heels lick Duke this af
ternoon they will have proved them
selves as strong as Virginia, Duke be
ing one cd the strongest teams in the
state.
If the Devils win this afternoon's
. contest Tar Heels will fight all the
harder on Thanksgiving day "against
the Cavaliers. .
There's no way of getting around it,
the team that wins the Turkey Day
contest is going to have to fight hard
for their victory.

FIVE HOPS ON PROGRAM
Swain Hall Being Used for First
Time for Mid-Season Dances
Weidemeyer Engaged for
Music Gala Decorations.
Turkey Day is almost here and Ger
man Club plans for the annual cele
bration of that festival are receiving
heir final polishing. As has been
previously announced, the dances will
be held1 in Swain Hall with the pop
ular Weidemeyer furnishing the mu-
These two facts should serve to
make this year's Thanksgiving hops
some of the best dances ever held on
the Hill, for heretofore Swain1 Hall
has been obtainable only for finals.
In addition the orchestra engaged is
considered excellent.
The executive committee of the Ger
man Club has been meeting, frequently
during the past two weeks, and all
details of the coming series have been
thrashed out. There will be five dan
ces beginning Friday afternoon, Nov
ember the twenty-fifth. The first hop,
lasting from four till six will be spon
sored by the Minotaurs. The dance
Friday evening from ten till one will
be given by the Gimghouls. Satur-.
day morning the dancing will begin
at eleven and last until one', while the
second afternoon dance of the series
will start at four and continue until
six. These hops have not been as
signed to any organizations. The Fall
German Saturday evening from nine
ti 11 twelve u will conclude the- series.
The decorations will be installed by
Upchurch of Raleigh. The color
scheme very likely will be worked out
in orange and red, fall colors. The
job is one of the best offered by the
firm, and the interior of Swain Hall
will be a solid mass of festoons, soft
lights-and novel ornaments.
Pacifism Debate With
British Tuesday Night
NASH HEADS THE
FRESHMAN CLASS
Strudwick Nash Elected Presi
dent with Ned Lipscomb
, as Vice-President.
Tuesday afternoon, at two-thirty,
the votes cast in the second and final
election of Freshman class officers
were counted, and the results an
nounced. This polling was the sec
ond, made necessary by the fact that
no. candidate in the first election re
ceived a majority sufficient for his
selection. The two candidates for
each office having the highest number
of votes were run again in the second
polling. The results of the' count
were as follows:
For ' President: Strudwick Nash
240 (elected); Worth Helms 206.
For Vice-President: Ned Lipscomb
277 (elected) ; Henry Baggs 163.
For Secretary: Bill Carbine 230
(elected); Mayne Albright 202.
For, Treasurer: Bill Bateman 270
(elected); Clyde Dunn 155.
Twenty-five of the ballots cast were
unsigned; and for that reason, could
not be counted.
C. R. Jonas, president of the stu
dent body, stated that the officers
would be installed with proper cere
monies in Memorial Hall at an early
date as yet unfixed.

Duke's Biggest Threat
"Jan" Jankoski, mighty plunging
back who has led the Duke team
throughout the season, will be the
greatest threat on the Blue Devil ros
ter this afternoon. The lad from
Milwaukee has ripped every line he
has faced, this-year, and to date leads
all the backfield men of the state in
scoring. He has pounded his way
over opponents' goal lines for fif
teen touchdowns this year and has a
scoring total of 91 points. " Hopes of
a Carolina win will be slim indeed
if the big University line doesn't stop

British Students Union Sends
Three Strong Debaters , to
America
QUERY OF VITAL INTEREST
A team sent to the United
States by the British Students'
Union will debate with the Uni
versity debating team Tuesday
night in Memorial Hall, begin
ning at 8:30, on the topic "Re
solved: that the only effective
attitude toward war is an un
compromising pacifism."
John Wilkinson, Mercer Blanken
ship, and James Stanley .will repre
sent Carolina, while the three mem
bers of the British team are Frank
O. Darvall, Andrew Haddon, and John
Ramago. Each team is to be given
45 minutes to use as it sees fit. Pro
f essor George McKie, who is in charge
of the debate as head of the Univer
sity Debating council, stated yester
day afternoon that the teams would
probably not be divided. In case they
are divided, however, John Wilkin
son of Carolina will probably speak
with two of the English debaters, on
the affirmative, leaving Blankenship
and Stanley to upohld the negative
with a Britisher.
Visitors Prominent
The three gentlemen composing the
visiting team, instead of coming from
one school, represent three of the best
known institutions in the British Em
pire. The mainstay of the British
team is Mr. Haddon, who graduated
at the University of Edinburg, Scot
land. He was capped Master of Arts
at Edinhurg in 1925 and is now ; in
the last year of study of the degree
of Bachelor of Laws in preparation
for the Scottish bar. He has been
a member of thelStudents Representa
tive Council for four years and is
now one of its presidents and Con
venor of the International Academic
committee. His opinions follow the
democratic ideals of Premier Stanley
Baldwin and he is a firm believer in
the mission of the British Empire.

GAME ON HANES FIELD
Same Line-up Started against

Take the Field This After
noon "They Shall Not Pass"
Is Team Motto.
The Tar Heel football team
goes to Durham today to beard
the Blue Devils in their own lair,
and if all the good intentions and
spirit of the Carolina squad has
its effect the universal by-word
on the campus here tonight will
be "Get thee behind me, Devil-
in the state championship. 1
The game is carded to begin at 2:0(T,
clock, and by that hour almost ev
ery true son of Carolina will be in
the stands over on Hanes Field to yell
with the same fighting . spirit that
has driven the Tar Heel gridmen in
ractice this week.
Great Line -That
team spirit this week has
much akin to the spirit of the French
troops at Verdun $md Ypres, for they
have taken a mental motto, "They
shall not pass." .That motto applies
both "Jan" Jankoski's smashing
plunges at the line and the aerial
hrusts of Sam Buie.
Jankoski has written his name in
etters of flame across the southeast
ern football horizon this' season, but
hey're all alike to the big Carolina
me. That line, too, nas oeen prais
ed and eulogized from Baltimore to
New. Orleans for. its stone-wall qual- ,
ities, and Tar Heel supporters pin
their' faith on it today.
From flank to flank it is a great
ine, perhaps the greatest ever devel
oped in the South. Indeed, one en
enthusiastic sports scribe described it
as "the greatest line ever built in
Dixie." Those big linemen took two
chances to prove their mettle last Sat
urday, for they stopped the mighty
Grey and Nisbet of Davidson twice
within the one yard line.

TILLETT
TO LAW SCHOOL
Charlotte Attorney Urges Stu
dents to Acquire Gapital
Stock' of Information.
"The thing that enables a lawyer
to succeed is the capital stock of in
formation he gathers in the course
of his training and experience,"
Charles W. Tillett, prominent Char
lotte attorney, declared to the law
school students in Manning Hall
Thursday morning. "A lawyer' should
always go to the mat with any ques
tion of law that comes to hand and
master it thoroughly." S
Mr. Tillett's lecture Thursday to
the entire law school student ' body
came as a climax to a series of five
lectures that he delivered the after
noon before to the third-year stu
dents. He spoke to them on "The
Factors That Control the" Organiza
tion of Corporations." He outlined
the conditions under which corpora
tions should ,be formed, and gaVe a
detailed description of the procedure
by which corporations are drawn up.5
"A lawyer is never, a good lawyer
unless he was a good lawyer before
he got ' his license,'- Mr. Tillett as-
serted. "The time that you men are
"hot spending in law school will enable
you to display the flashes of ability
that are essential to practical success. .
The time is coming in the near fu
turewith the development of the
great industrial South, when a 'cap
ital stock' of information about the
law will be of great value and will
be at a premium."
The Charlotte lawyer's lectures
were the second of a series that is
being delivered to members of the
Law School by prominent lawyers of
the state, under the auspices of the
University Law association. Kemp
Battle, of the Rocky Mount bar, de
livered the first of the series two
weeks ago on "contracts." -
