Forty four teams started in the

chance in evidence here that the

of lack of participants.
Neither-of the two contenders for
the state title have ever won the cup
since the beginning of the annual
state contests in 1913. Raleigh which
old-fashioned drama m an old-lash-ioned
setting, will be presented by the
Carolina Playmakers Friday ' and
Saturday nights, December 9th and
10th. The entire production is under
the supervision of Mr. Samuel Sel
den. The play will be presented in the
manner of the period it represents,
the late fifties. The scenes and cos
tumes are in keeping with the period,
and .vaudeville : acts will occupy the
"intermissions between the acts.
"Ten Nights" was first present
ed in New York in 1858. 'It was
written by William T. Pratt, and
founded on the novel by T. S.-Arthur.
The play is a recognized classic, an
is still a favorite in small towns, con
stantly being played by stock com
panies. The part of Romame was
played by Mr. Selden in one such
company two years ago. The piece
has been played so often that certain
traditions have grown upland va
rious lines and business not includ
ed by the author are now habitually

will follow the traditional manner of
presentation. ' v

rector Frederick H. Koch, had an un
usually successful tour. . Favorable

for the favor and enthusiasm with
which the University group was re
ceived all along the route of its trip.

Wilbur Stout, and "The Scuffletown
Outlaws", by Bill Cox were presented
at three performances in Earl Hall,

at a cost of more than $300,000 and
the gift of William Rand Kenan, Jr.,

a success in every way, and was the
first Carolina win since 1922. '
