P. I. grap- plers emerged victorious over a quar tet of Carolina matmen here Thurs day night to win by a 16 to 9 count. The Old Dominion veterans were far too much for Coach Quinlah's one letterman squad. However, the Tar Heel wrestlers showed possibility of great strength in their first inter collegiate match "of 'the season. The wearers of the Blue were leading 9 to 8 at the end of the 'fifth bout. But Fussell, V. P. I. 175 pound star, gained a time decision over "Swampy" Twiford in a slow-necking affair; and Big "Bull" Davis, Virginia unlimited ace, scored a technical fall over "Bo" Morehead after 9 minutes and 30 sec onds of terrific struggling, to cinch the affair. . Vv Gene Thompson, lone letterman of the team, won handily from Nard of V P. If on time while Mogre and Abbott were turning in time decisions to make up Carolina's 9-point score. The Abbott-Hall, 145 pound go, was the best bout of the evening from the spectator's point of view. These two grapplers "mixed it" from the start and were on the mat most of the time. Two extra periods were required to settle the irfatch, Abbott succeeding in holding the visiting -op ponent on the mat 2 minutes, 20 seconds of the second, to win easily in this extra time. Garrett Morehead looked like he might fit well in the 145 division, when he stacked up against Davis, V. P. I. 6 feet 4 inches, 240 pounder.

The dance to be given tonight at the Carolina Inn by the pledges of Chi Omega and Pi Beta Phi will mark the beginning of the winter social season at the University. This hop will be followed next week-end by the Law School dance and the Grail dance.

Law examinations are over today, and students of the bar will celebrate .the end of long jdays of study and nervous strain by being hosts to their guests at a ball at the Carolina Inn, February the third.

This social event will' be followed Saturday evening '-February the fourth, by the first XJrail dance of the winter quarter. The hop will be giv en in Bynum Gymnasium, but no or chestra has yet been engaged to play for the occasion. The date of the .Junior Prom has not been fixed, and no details of the dance have been worked out, but the hop will very likely take place some time between the social events of next wPPk-end and the Mid-winter dances of February the seventeenth and Aio-fctontVi. The Junior class has de cided that the Prom will be "formal this year. The Mid-winter German Club dan ces will be held in the Gymnasium with Naylor's Seven Aces furnishing the music.

REPARING FOR TWO GABIES Tar Heel Five Takes on State and Duke Next Week after Protracted Rest. Without a scheduled game since the Virginia contest until State is met in Raleigh Wednesday night, the Tar Heels have been working steadily in the Tin Can smoothing out rough spots in their playing and trying out new, plays. Tha- grind of daily train ing was broken last night when the Night Hawks, an independent team from Greensboro, was taken on in an exhibition ? contest on the local court. Billy Vanstory and "Red" Price, prominent" players on the team this season, are but' on account of illness. Price was injured during . the holiday trip and has not been in any game since that time. The trainer of the squad hopes to have him in Condition for the tournament at Atlanta be- ginning the latter part of February. Vanstory was kept out of the Wake Forest game on account of an attack of asthma. While he got in the Vir ginia game fojr a short time, it is doubtful that ne will do any strenu ous work within the next few days. The remainder of the squad is in fine condition, and ready for the two games of the coming week, one with N. C. State on Wednesday in Raleigh, and the other with Duke in Durham the following Saturday. The game with State is always contested- strongly by the Westt Raleigh ites, and Duke is considered as hav ing a team dangerously near that of Carolina, and the meeting with these two outfits is continually in the minds of the Carolina coaches and players.

CITES GROWTH OF SCHOOL Venable and Wilson Appear on Program;. Chemistry Head Recalls Days When Faculty Numbered Six Men. "The Graduate School of the Uni versity of North Carolina is destined to become the leading graduate school in the South," declared Dean-James F. Royster, speaking Thursday night at exercises marking the formal ded ication of Mary Ann Smith Building as a graduate club for students tak ing post-graduate work. 'Other speakers were Dr. Francis P. Venable, Kenan professor of chem istry and a former president of the University, and Dr. H. V. P. Wilson, head of the Department of Zoology. "rrom; a gejgrapnicai standpoint ie University is ideally situated for , adership in the graduate field in -he South," Dean Royster said. "But lere are many other reasons," , he dded. "That the University's rep- tation as a center of research and raduate study is spreading may be : the fact that we had 141 ap plications for 24 particular, fellow- -cioi veai. kjj. tacoe on.y 35 ere from the University' and the re aainder came from other states, the lajority of which are to the south f us. "We welcome and want these out-of-state students," . he said. "Our Graduate School is largely composed of them." The rapid growth of the Graduate School in recent years was indicated. i The enrollment for the fall quarter was ' 168 -compared with 137 for the corresponding period last year and 90 five years ago. The most amaz ing development this year was that 97 of the 168 are candidates for. doc torates. Seventy-one hold the mas ter's degree. - Recalling the day when the Uni versity had a faculty of six men, Dr. Venable said that graduate , study really began with the organization of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society and the publication of its Journal with. funds furnished by the members. "Since that day the reputation of the University has come to rest on. its higher work and its many publica tions," he said. Dr. Wilson gave a definition of pure science. "Those who are curious about nature are the pure scientists," he said. The new graduate dormitory is the old Mary. Ann Smith building that was remodeled last summer. It has been handsomely equipped and fur nished. Though not yet in operation, a dining room and kitchen have been included in the building, which is op erated as a club for the graduate stu dents. It is the first time the grad uate students have had a home all their own. x Band Opens Winter Concert Schedule Heard in Siler City Thursday Night; To Broadcast February 6l.

The trumpet solo, "A d dah Pokah," played by Hass White, was also well received by the Siler City audience. Another feature num ber was the clarinet duet played by Fred Byerly andCarl Wessell.

This program is practically the same as . will be used when" the band broadcasts from Raleigh on the sixth of February and in its February con cert here. The second concert of the independent series making up the winter schedule will be played in Lumberton next Thursday night. Graduate Head Dean James F. , Royster, df the Graduate school, delivered the fea ture address at the formal opening of the new graduate quarters Thurs day night, declaring that the Univer sity Graduate school was rapidly ac quiring fame and was "destined to lead the South."

E FUND GIFT T0LAWLIBRAR Donor of $10,000 for Law Books Declines to Have Name Made Public. The University trustees announce a gift of $10,000 to be expended for books. for the Law Library. By the wish of the 'donor, who declines to permit his name to be disclosed, the fund win be known as the Lucius Polk McGehee Memorial Fund, in honor of the late Dean McGehee of the Law School. ' ' Dean McGehee was himself a maker and a discriminating collector of books and' a builder of the Law Library. This generous giftwill greatly aid in the, development of a well-rounded Law Library. A large part of it will go toward the completion of a collec tion of the more important statutory material of the various states and to securing certain' appellate reports The Law Library has finally' com pleted its collection of all the report ed decisions of courts of last resort of all the states, as well as England. The last state was checked on: re cently when after a search of many months, Miss Lucile Elliott of the Law Library located a set of the Ar kansas Reports. These are now very difficult to secure. A large number of important textbooks have also re cently been added to the Law Library. Washington and Lee Cancels Remainder of Boxing Schedule The announcement that the remain ing boxing schedule of Washington andLee university for 1928 will be cancelled will be read with interest on the campus, for the Carolina pugi lists were supposed to meet the Lex ington mittmen here on February 18. The announcement of the action has not yet been received by local athletic authorities, so that it is not known whether or not another team will be secured to fill the date left vacant by the Generals. There are several other teams in the South, however, who might be interested in a bdut on that date. Boxing as a sport is be ing introduced Jthis season at South.1 Carolina and Clemson, neither of which are on the Tar Heel schedule as yet, it is understood. . Details of the action taken by Washington and Lee authorities were lacking in the brief press dispatches, but it was "for disciplinary reasons," it was stated. . NUMBER 45 BOXERS INVADE V. P. I. FOR BOUTS ; THEREIOMGHT Varsity and Freshmen Pugilists In Blacksburg; Expect Strong Opposition. TAR HEELS UNDEFEATED Carolina Mittmen Presenting Well Balanced Team of Clev er Fighters; Freshmen Have Smashing Team. " The Carolina varsity and freshman boxing teams - left rhere yesterday morning by bus on their second in vasion of Virginia within eight days' time. This week-end the Tar Heels and Tar Babies are carded to ex change punches with the V. P. I. Gob blers and "rats" in the Techmen's back yard. Undefeated so far this season, with smashing triumphs over Duke and V. M. I., the Tar Heels are doped to .continue their triumphal march to- ' night against the Gobblers." Facing a team that counts Paddie, Southern Conference middleweight champ, ; as its ace, the Carolina leath'erpushers expect several stiff fights. , The meet will mark the first setto of the season for the Gobblers, and their team strength is practically un known. Last season in a meet here they presented several nice fighters in the lower weights, ' but this year Carolina boasts a balanced team in every class from the bantam to "Ox" Shuf ord's own unlimited final. Cheatam Coley, clever little ban- -tarn, who has ' taken over the post left vacant by Earn Carpenter last winter, will carry Carolina colors in the first varsity fight of the evening. 'Following Coley will come Rufus White and Allen in the feather and lightweight divisions. All these young sters are fighting their first year on the varsity, but they have turned in -a perfect count of wins so far. Captain Ed Butler, Conference welterweight champion last year and undefeated during his college career, is rated one of the finest and clev erest boxers in the southern colleges, and he should turn in his usual vic tory. Jimmie Miller, a fighting soph omore, is slated to take on the big Paddier V. P. I.'s title-holding leader. Charlie Brown lost his fight to V. M. I.'s light heavy last Saturday, but he put up . a fine exhibition in , his first fight in that weight. He should do better tonight. "Ox" Shuford, last year's captain and Southern Confer ence champion in the unlimited weight, is in his best form and will put the finishing touches on the eve ning's fisticuffs. Preceding this varsity battle, the Tar Babies will take on the V. P. I. yearlings. The Babies showed lots of stuff last week-end to win by a 4 to 3 count. Incidentally they turned in one clean knockout and two tech nical knockouts to count in the scor ing. That was . their first fight, and they should do better tonight against the Little Gobblers. Full-Time Fireman Will Be Added to Local Department A" whole, full-time fireman to stay all the time at the f irehouse, will soon come to Chapel, Hill, according ton resolution made Monday evening by the city" aldermen, who are determin- " ed to do away with so many destruc tive fires in the city. The Pickard hotel destruction caus ed the immediate action taken by the city fathers. in their steps to stamp out this evil. It has been alleged that the officers of the volunteers did not even hear the alarm for that oc casion, and that most of the fighting was done by. students, with no knowl edge or experience of the ways, of overcoming fires. The University is doing' its bit in carrying on the good work by install ing two new. water mains between Cameron dvenue and Franklin street. Inaddition to this, the new fire alarm system which the city rulers arecon templating installing will , raise the Hill considerably in the rating as signed by the state insurance depart ment, and will effect a sa-ving of sev eral thousand dollars in yearly in- surance premiums.
