Fighting for every inch of ground,
Che Heels played the Cambridge
eleven on scoreless terms for three
periods, but the second quarter was
enough to give the home team a vic
tory. In that one period the Heels
-were completely demoralized and the
-three Harvard touchdowns looked as
xf the southerners were to be routed
-more completely than Springfield was
a week ago.
But the third and fourth quarters
"were 'different. The Heels' gave up
xneir aeiensive tactics and began off
nsive . football. : Evidently Coach
Collins, did plenty of talking between
the halves, for the Heels certainly
looked better when they trqtted back
on the field at the keginning . of the
Tthird session. The former Notre
Dame end must have told them that
they couldn't score when they were
playing within their own 30 yard line.
It was in this last half of the game
-that the Heels showed something like
the offense they staged against Wake
Jb orest and Maryland. It was during
this half of the game that the white
istockinged southerners threatened the
Crimson goal line and outplayed the
protegees of Horween.
Little information concerning the
.game can be gleaned from the score,
for excepting the second period the
game was, bitterly 'f ought throughout.
In this' period 'four Harvard backs
showed their wares to good advan
tage. The 20 points may well be at
tributed to the open field running of
Gilligan and French, the off-tackle
slashing of Guatanaccia and the line
smashing of Harper. . Those four men
did enough in those fifteen minutes of
play to wreck the hopes of any foot
ball team. '
The first period was scoreless, but
it was apparent to everyone that it
would not be long before the Crimson
backs scored. It wasn't long either,
for. on the first play of the second
. -quarter Harper tore through the line

great heavy chunks of plastering sud

"A large amount of listening to
music" must concern itself with the
various forms in which tKe music is
cast," .said Professor Paul John Wea
ver, head of the music department
here, in the first of a series of talks
on Bach's Fugues which are to be
given each Wednesday ' afternoon
throughout this quarter at 4 o'clock in
the lecture room of Person Hall. To
further emphasize the value of speech,
copies of fugal, notation were distri
buted to those present, and they were
aDie to ioiiow witn tneir own eyes
what was illustrated by Mr. Weaver
as he played several of Bach's Pre
ludes on the piano.
The opening of this series of lec
tures is of signaf interest to those
interested in music. They are being
sponsored by the University Music
Department in response to the demand
from those who . attended the two
series which were given last year un
der the same auspices. The topics
discussed thoroughly by Mr. Weaver
last year were "Simple Farms of
Music" and "Sonata Forms". The
present series of lectures will be con
cerned with fugal writing, illustrat
ing how composers write music, and
how they express their thoughts in
musical terms. At each lecture, the
numbers to be studied will be played
by Mr. Weaver, and each part that
is worthy of note will be pointed out
and discussed at length.
The music loving public and the
student body are invited to ' attend.
The lectures are only one hour in
length and are full of definite, help
ful information for those who are in
terested in learning more about Bach
as a composer and ,as a writer of
fugues. ,' ". :
hoir Rehearsals
To Be Held Monday
1 The first rehearsal of the ACap-
pella choir, which is the University
of North Carolina Music Depart
ment's most pretentious venture into
the rendition of national importance
was held on Monday evening at 8
o'clock in Person Hall. The rehearsals
will last'for one hour each Monday
evening and everyone who is interest
ed in becoming a member of this choir
and who would like to have the train
ing which work in this organization
will afford to its members is urged
to be present at the rehearsal. Pro
fessor Paul John Weaver, head of the
University music department will di
rect the1 choir. ' - '
By far the most outstanding book
of the season which, is of interest to
local as well as national music circles
is the "Journal of -Proceedings of the
Music . Supervisors National Confer
ence which has just come from the
press and which has been edited by
Professor Paul John Weaver, head of
the University of North Carolina
music department. It is a signal
honor to this institution to have the
editor of this important volume chosen
from its faculty and it is an honor
that Mr. Weaver was given the task
of assembling, revising, and select
ing the data included in the book and
written by the world's most famous
musicians of today.
There are articles written by Dr.
P. P. Claxton, .Walter Damrosch, Will
Earhart, Harvey B. Gaul, O. G. Son
neck, Franklin Dunham, Edgar B.
Gordon, Percy A. Scholes, James
Francis Cooke, John Finley William
son, Karl W. Gehrkens, Peter Chris
tian Lutkin, Dr. John W. Withers,
"Clarence C. J Birchard, E. H. ' Wilcox,
Frances A. Wright, and Dr. Jacob
Kwalwasser. Each one of these men
is a musician of national importance,
and Mr. Scholes is perhaps Great
Britain's most outstanding musician
today. Each of the articles written
deals with certain definite phases of
musical education . through various
channels public schools, community
interest, and private projects. Music
and its relation to the -solution to
world problems as well as its coopera
tion with the world's new inventions
for it .reproduction is also discussed
at length in the book. ,
The minutes of Music Supervisor's
National " Conference are "included "in
the book and it is seen that at this
meeting which was heldin Chicago
last April interest was' warming for
the First Anglo-American Conference
of Musicians and Music Teachers
which will be held in Switzerland next
August for which plans ' have now
been definitely laid and to which the
University Glee Club has been - in
vited. N
Professor Weaver as well as being
editor of the Year Book of the Con
ference, was chairman of the Busi
ness Management of the Conference,
was also member of the Book
Shelves committee, and . recently he
has been appointed to the position
of chairman of the American Commit
tee on arrangements for the coming
ionierence in Switzerland. He is
the head of the Music Departmen
here and . it has been, , through his
tireless efforts that this institution
has made such' rapid strides in musi
cal progress throughout the past few
years. The publishing of this book
marks another mile in the grade up
which the University is climbing in
order to be recognized as having the
South's most outstanding music de
partment. '

Professor Relates History of
"Piney Prospect" to Student
-0 : s - .;
Kemp Plummer Battle Former President of University, Used to
Roam in Woods, and He Gave the Spot the Name
of "Point Prospect."
o
(By Joe Jones)
A weary student, one evening last
week; sat on the steps of , the brown
stone seat at Piney Prospect and lost
himself in fancy.
a wnixe-nairea proiessor came
crashing up the slope through the
underbrush. His shoulders were back,
his chin up, his stride was strong.
Aneaa oi mm ran a magnmcent po
lice dog, and her head was up, too.
She fairly quivered with friendship
when she espied the boy, and she was
already attempting to lick his face
when her master arrived with his
cheerful "Good evening."
The professor perched himself above
the student and for a while neither
spoke, except to agree that it was a
lovely evening and that the valley was
beautiful with Otober haze across it.
Finally, the white-headed one be
gan. He said, "I get a lot of pleasure
out of these walks, and I really have
to take them. If a man is an athlete
in his youth he has to keep in trim
when he grows older, or it will go
hard with him. You've no doubt
noticed how quickly some big football
men slouch out. of form when they
quit football and go into an office.
"I am too old to play tennis, and
too poor to play golf, so I walk. But
you can't get any humans to walk
with you, so I bring Nancy, and, my,
how she enjoys it! She enjoys it, and
I enjoy it,' and it's good for both of
us. She's a good dog, and I ddn't
know what I'd do without her.
"Nancy's pedigree runs back to the
canine aristocracy of Europe; so you
see she has better blood than either of
us, perhaps." ;
Presently a boy and girl came down
the Gimghoul path, paused at the cor
ner of the stone seat, and said, "Are
we intruding?"
"No, this is for everybody," came
the answer.
When the couple had subsided from
their ecsta tics over the lovely view,
when the young man appeared to be
a gentleman, and the girl appeared
to be a very attractive younff lady,
the prof essor began to tell them some
thing about Piney Prospect ; because
they and the student seemed eager to
know. -;

which is gradually being introduced
in every university in the United

of five full time physicians and six

"Taking into consideration that al
most the " entire , under-graduate stu
dent body of Harvard, a school of
8,000 students, participates in some
form of athletics, the low percentage
of injuries is no Jess than remarkable," '
Dr. Abernathy said Monday. "The
