Frosh Pounce on Sophomores
Aiter Annual Smoker; B.O.S.
Gall Given by Second Year Men
President Hudgins Needed To
Quell Near Riot m Quad
rangle Monday Night.
There was a Frosh-Soph scrap the
other night, and the freshmen weren't
left out in the dark holding the bag
either. . . '. . .
Somebody must have madeome pep
speeches at the frosh smoker, for when
nhe young, 'uns came out of Swain
Hall last Monday night they seemed
to feel like they really were somebody,
and acted accordingly. Out of a bed
lam came pierceing yells and hoarse
shouts of 32! 32! as the mob moved
towards the quadrangle.
Up in the dormitories the sophs
were biding their time. A conspiracy
had run through their ranks, and each
man waited at his window with a
waste-can of water. . . ,v
But the frosh weren't a bitscatter
' brained. ..They avoided the dormi
tories, bunched in the new quadrangle
court, and hurled imprecations up at
the lighted windows. Down came the
leaders of the second year men and
called on their clan to rally round the
flag of '31. They mobolized, and the
two groups stood glowing and growl
ing at each other across ihe street.
Then a valiant soph led a charge;
hut when he got to where he was go
ing he discovered that only about six
-men had followed him. This handful,
however, fought courageously until it
was completely vanquished.; There
was a great deal of grappling, but
very little slugging. .
Some dauntless son of '32 then met
three frosh champions in the middle
of. the street, and felled two of them
expertly, but went down before the
onslaughts of the third. j
The sophomores, outnumbered and
beaten back, looked about for am in
strument of vengeance, and from
somewhere brought forth a section of
f ire hose. A scuffle over the hose en
sued, the hose was pulled in two, the
attachable end being left in the hands
of the yearlings, who immediately hid
it away. Then,jas the fight for the
possession of the other piece raged,
a second year mare retrived the good
end from its hiding place, attached it
to a nearby hydrant, and was in the
act o turning on the water, when a
uightwatchman arrived and annexed
the wrench.
Thenceforward for a time it was
only a verbal battle. Then President
Hudgins appeared and even the hot
words ceased to flow. Mr. Hudgins
handled the rioters in a very com
mendable manner, and presently the
trouble-makers were all back in their
rooms. "
The sophs claim a victory because
they still hold in their possession the
business end of the hose, but it is said
that Dean Bradshaw reprimanded the
freshmen next morning in Chapel for
.hazing the tipperclassmen.

1928. -
The Tar Heel 'football squad that
journeys into New England next! Sa
turday to battle Harvard's Crimson
eleven will follow a trail that has
been blazed only once In the history
or football at the University of North
Carolina. The Tar Heels met Har
vard in 1916 in the only previous bat
tle between elevens representing the
two institutions, and that team of a
dozen' years ago gave the Crimson
one full afternoon.
Arnold Horween, now head coach
of Harvard's big team, was then a
star halfback on the "Big Three'
champions that downed Carolina by
a three-touchdown margin. The score
that day was 21 to 0, with Horween
scoring one touchdown and point for
one'Hhird of his team's total. This
yea he will be fighting just as hard
to whip the 1928 Tar Heels, but, his
fighting will be done from the coach
ing lines. , -
That was a real club that, wore
Carolina's colors into, the northland
that day so long ago, a club that
faced Princeton, Harvard, and Geor
gia Tech on successive Saturdays and
liked it. By the same token, neither
of the three big time out-fits enjoyed

Professor Paul John .Weaver, head
of the University's music department,
announces that the A Cappella choir
which was such a success at this in
stitution- last year will be organized
again this year. TheT first rehearsal
of the season will be held in Person
Hall on Monday, October 15thfc at 8
P. M. All students, faculty mefeberL
and residents of the college community
are eligible to try out for places in the
choir, and aire especially, invited to at
tend the first rehearsal. 1
The "A Cappella choir will set a pre
cedent this yeat by the rendering of
modern English compositions which
have never before been heard in this
country Mr. Weaver, who has been
teaching the past summer at Cornell
University with Dr. W. G. Whitaker,
of the University of Durham, Eng
land, faculty was fortunately able to
secure these compositions from Dr.
Whitaker for. the A Cappella choir to
sing here this winter.
The second .type of music to be used
will be the extended chorales and
church cantatas of Bach. These have
been sung by only. 8 choruses in the
United States and they have never
been introduced in the South. The rea
son for this is that there have never
been any choruses that were able to
successfully render these numbers. A
movement has been started in England
and Germany during the past few
years for the revival of Bach's compo
sitions and the A Cappella choir of
this University is one ox -the first to
start the revival in this country.
There will be 40 members of the
choir, and eight parts will be sung:
first and second tenors, altos, sopra
nos, and basses. The choir will be
under the personal direction of Pro
fessor Weaver, and will appear in
concert at various intervals through-
out the year.

Maryland Scored 31-0 Victory
Over Washington College;
Five Touchdowns in Eleven
Minutes.
FIRST S. I. C. GAME
Collins To Start Team That
Faced Demon Deacons
Last Saturday.
Two teams, one with a desire to
avenge a one point defeat suffered at
the hands of the other, the other with
desire to prove that its 65-0 victory
last Saturday is demonstrative of its
real power, meet this afternoon at
LCollege Park Maryland. Both teams
! have amply demonstrated its scoring
ability, one by piling up five touch
downs in eleven' minutes of play, the
other by scoring almost at will
against a team that -defeated it' the :
year before.
Both the Old Liners "representing
the University of Maryland and the
Tar . Heels representing the Univer
sity of North Carolina are anxious
to win this the first Conference tilt .
of the season. Apparently the two
teams are evenly matched. Maryland
has ten lettermen back in togs while f
the Heels have an equal number.
The Old Liners enjoyed a fairly suc
cessful season last fall, but the Caro
lina team failed to get going until the
latter part of the season, in fact the
victory over Maryland was the win
registered by the Heels during the
early part of the year. But on paper
the Heels seem to have an edge on the
Old Liners,: for all of Coach Collin's
pupils showed an ability to score,
while Coach Byrd's proteges found K
trouble scoring except when the ve
terans were playing. r-. ,

But time after time the College Park
team would drive down the field only
to have the Carolina line hold and
Billy Ferrel send the mud "covered
and water soaked ball down the field
again. It was the game that made
Ferrel a hero, for his punting kept
the Old Liners out of Carolina terri
tory. ' " '.';
The Old Liners were dubbed a
mystery team before the Washing
ton College game, but after the 31-0
victory the Marylander's stock has
risen considerably. At the outset of
the season Coach , Byrd had only one
In the other positions he had Dodson
and Healy at ends, Crothers and Won

other backfield positions. The only
vacancy was at center, but Madi

eleven, seems to have filledth,po-

cessfully. Several hold overs, from
last year's -team and men from the
freshman team furnish the Mary
land coaches chief reserve material.

Fencing Movement
Is Latest Sport
Fencing, the ancient sport which
for so long a time has been absent
fromxthe sporting world of the Uni
versity, is to make a reappearance on
the campus when the fencing Club is
organized Wednesday evening at 7:00
The club is being organized in the
Y.M.C. A. Sunder the sponsorship 'of
Hinkey H. Hendlin, who will
give instruction in fencing,
"Bruno" Coburn, track and rifle cele
brity, who started a fencing move
ment here two years ago, and G. E.
Le vings, a graduate of West Point
now in the Law School. ;t : .
Fencing originated in Southern Eu
ropean countries. v
Stimulation of interest ia fencing
and the organization of a regular
fencing team will be the objectives of
the club, according to the sponsors.
It is hoped that the active interest of
the University of North Carolina in
the sport will further the plans of
fencing enthusiasts in other Southern
schools to petition the Southern Con
ference Committee to recognize it as
a regular sport in athletic competition.

As I was walking the pleasant .
streets of Chapel HU, there came over
me an exotic sence of unreality. The
atmosphere had grown Oriental ; I
felt as though I were in Caro, or Mec
ca, or Bagdad. But I couldn't imagine
what gave me that -feeling: ' there
wasn't a domed mosque in sight, nor
a camel, nor a veiled woman nor a
naked brat, nor a ragged beggar, nor
palm trees, nor could "jl sniff the
characteristic sickening odor of the
Orient. There weren't even anyr
American tourists in sight.
In a flash it came to me I was dis
tinctly hearing the muezzin calling the
people to prayer. But I looked in vain
for the minaret; whoever heard of a
muezzin without a mineret! Then of a
sudden I came full upon the meuzzin,
down on his knees without a sign of
a prayer-rugx bending down and up,
down and up, shouting over and anon,
"Allah is almighty! Allah is al-
mighty !" I looked closer, and bless my
soul, it wasn't a muezzin at all, but
