Ficticious Teams on Carolina Winter Squad Play in Sta dium This Afternoon. The "Golden Tornado" locks horns -with the "Cavaliers" this afternoon in Kenan Stadium 'in another of the bi-weekly meetings of the teams on the winter football squad. Both teams are almost evenly matched, for "Virginia" was barely nosed out by' "South Carolina" in the closing min utes of their game last week, while Tech held the "Gamecocks" .to a lone touchdown in the meeting between these two teams ten days ago. "Virginia" boasts only one mono gram man, but in Magner and Eareck son they possess two of the best backs on the squad. Whisnant 'is the varsity man, while Maus a product of the 1926 freshman eleven, showed up well against the powerful "South Carolina" aggregation. In the line are several men who did good work on the squad last fall and two of Coach Belding's 1927 freshman team. "Georgia Tech" has Foard, Ward, and Farris from the Varsity eleven and several of last year's substitutes to match the "Cavalier" line-up. Fire Yesterday in Building Departmeiit Does Little Damage Avfire in the basement of the build ing department yesterday morning about 8:30 was discovered and extin guished before it had assumed pro portions of seriousness. The blaze started where the paints, varnishes and like materials are stored. There had been some leakage on the floor from-some of the containers, and the mixture . of the different substances caused the trouble from spontaneous combustion, according to employees of the department.- Smoke pouring from the cellar gave warning of the conflagration, and the fire department was called. , The use of chemicals soon stopped the burn ing, limiting the damage to one metal door destroyed, and a general smok ing up and charring of the entire basement. Unofficial estimates of the harm done put - the cost at several hundred dollajs.

LIVELY CAWAIGN s TALKS Inconsistency of Action on the Two Resolutions Shows Inde civiseness of Results; Is Phi Democratic or Republican? Rev. Harry Lee Canfield of the First Universalist Church of Greens boro will preach the second of the series of University Sermons schedul ed for this quarter in Gerrard Hal tomorrow evening at eight-thirty o'clock. Mr. Canfield's subject has not yet been announced. The first sermon of the winter quarter was made by Rev. Adolph Augustus Berle of Tufts . College. These sermons are held each month during the quarter, ai which time well-known ministers and speakers present their addresses. The local churches cooperate with the University officials at the time of Jhese talks, postponing their evening services, and requesting their congre gations to attend and take part in the meetings in Gerrard Hall. Mr. Canfield has been in Greeris- In the liveliest meeting of the Phi assembly this year, a resolution fav oring Al Smith for presidency was passed by a small margin Tuesday night. The debate was based on wheth er Smith, the Democratic nominee, or Hoover, regarded as the ' foremost candidate for the Republican nomin ation, would make the better execu tive. .There was much discussion, car ried on by practically every member present. . Fred Parker started the action by offering a resolution to table all rou tine business and begin on the more important matter at once. After the passage of that bill, Representative Wilkinson got the floor and outlined the many services that Hoover has rendered the nation, and ' mentioned other qualifications possessed by the Old Guard man. He then predicted the probable troubles that would re sult from electing Smith. Mr. Park er f ollewed him up, denying that Hoover had done so much for the country, citing the recent Mississippi flood case for example, decrying the failure to do anything for the strick en people since, and the lack of steps to prevent like occurrences in the fu ture. Another gentleman hastened to brand Smith as being a local man, and not suitable on account of that.

Randolph County Club Elects New Officers' The elections of officers for the new school year featured the meeting of the Randolph County Club Tuesday night in the Y.M.C.A. social rooms'. H. J. Fox was chosen president for the coming year, while R. L. Forres ter was selected as new secretary arid treasurer. , Plans were begun at this meeting for a social gathering of Randolph county college students to be held in Asheboro next Christmas. Refresh ments were served at the Tuesday night meeting. " "In . spite of the urgent calls for candidates for the many branches of varsity and freshman athletics, and the splendid opportunity afforded by a well organized Intra-Mural pro gram, there are still about fifty per cent of our students who are not com peting in any form of competitive games," stated Coach Bob Fetzer in an interview recently. " With a winter program including varsity and freshman basketball, var sity and freshman track, varsity foot balltraining", wrestling, boxing, and a complete Intra-Mural program, the University's director of athletics is at a loss as to means of procuring more men for the athletic teams. Coach Fetzer is extremely anxious to get more men "in line in the various athletic activities offered by the Uni versity. He further stated that it is the obligation of everyone as a" stu dent at the University to support the athletic program worthy of the lead ing educational "institution of the South. " '"That athletics should play a great er part in one's life today than ever before is shown by the tendency to ward the artificial life," continued Mr- Fetzer, "for today we ride in an automobile, infetead of walking or even on horseback, we eat prepared food and spend much time at the drug store and picture show, and too often our only exercise is to the tune of a jazz orchestra." ' The urgent call of Coach Fetzer was prompted not only by the heavy sched ules undertaken by the various teams but also by conditions created by this age. Clarifying his position he de clared that the University is being called upon to produce real, finished men," ready and willing to take their places in the world, and men who will not be forced aside in the modern bus iness or in life by an ailing body. "Health is necessary for success in business and in life, and the same elements of character that make for success in athletics are welcomed and sought after in the business world," continued the coach. Calls have been issued continually during the year for the respective teams, and it is due to the lack-of interest of the student body that nec essitates this urgent appeal. The coaches are especially anxious for the non-athletic group of the student body to respond to this appeal, and as Coach Fetzer said, "carry the ideals of sportsmanship, honor, loyalty, courtesy, initiative, unselfishness, and courage' with them from college into the field of business."
