" . O. Max Gardner, North Carolina's candidate for governor, finds himself in a football dilemma this week. ' : And what with all the political dilemmas; on his hands in liis fight for Governor Al Smith, , not to men tion his own candidacy, "Governor" Gardner really shouldn t have to worry about football dilemmas. , But "Governor" Gardner brought it .all- upon himself. x The trouble dates hack-to Max's college tlays While at the then North Carolina A.' and M. -College he played football, and then, when he came to the Uni yersity of North , Carolina to .study law ,he elected to continue to play football. , , .' . Those were-.-the'days, dear fans, when football playerswere permitted to roam around from one college to another and - play so long as the coach would have them. But them days is gone forever. Mr. Gardner's son for instance, who is a University student now,- would never be able' to don a uniform for dear,." old State should he decide' to remove to West. Raleigh later, should he play football here. But to get back to "Governor" Gard ner he starred for ; both Carolina. and State before he quit the academ ic walls. r He was a star guard and tackle on the State team for several seasons and captained the State team one year. - ' ,; ' Max was graduated from the West Raleigh college in the spring of ; 1905 and entered the University law school that fall. Hepuld not resist the call of the gridiron and soon was per forming, wonders- for the Tar Heels. The files of The Tar Heel, student newspaper at the University,, carry extracts from a speech which .the former State "College captain ) made at. a Tar Heel pep meeting that sea son. Gardner . told the students that he was at the University to study law first and not solely to play foot ball,' but", he also tqld . them that he had played his time out for .State and would - be giving "everything he ; had to Win for Carolina. That season the Tar Heels won fotir such. games asDavidson, George-, town, V. M.T. . and; Virginia,', and' dropped; games ; to Pennsylvania, Navy and V. P. I.' The annual Carolina-State game was a O to.O . tie and tfier line-up listed in the Tar' Heel for that day . shows - that "Governor" Gardner did: 'hot' Pay against his old teammates. It was the last game be tween the two rivals until after the World War, 'as relations were sev ered lor a' period of 14 years. ' . ! ; . ' Other prominent University alum ni on that team were Leroy Frank lin '. Abdrnethy," Hickory banker ; Dr. Foy ,Robers6n,. Durham 'physician who captained the eleven ; B ob Rey nolds, Asheville" lawyer and politi cian; and Judge '""Nat" Tpwnsend, of Dunn. These and others may be in the stands at Raleigh Saturday when the Tar Heels and Techmen .renew their feud. v - Dean.Bradshaw spoke to the fresh men at.' Chapel in Memorial Hall about what a college man may ex-, pect from employers in the business world after he leaves the University, with his sheepskin. ; In presenting his subject Mr. Brad-! shaw told the freshmen that .they! were just beginning a college career; that they had just passed the glamor stage of football games, the hurry of fraternity rushing, the. 'enthusiasm of pep meetings. In continuing, the dean pointed ou how well-fitted gra duates .can cope . .with the require ments t of the business world better than non-college men. . . . . Mr. Bradshaw stated that he hop ed the members of the present, fresh man class will conduct- themselves .in such a manner that when they have finished four years here they will be better fitted to answer - the require ments of employers who say they pre fer men without a college education. - The treasons, says the Dean, for employersnot wanting to employ col lege' men" are that they have an er roneous idea about the" matter . His first reason" usually is that students are: thought to-lack initiative due to having everything detailed and plan ned for them while in college. The second- reason for' their aversion to students is on account of their hu mility; they are also of the opinion students cannot be taught' anything. This- idea the established business man 'resents. Thirdly,- the employer thinks that the eollege man's stan dard of living is too high and his sense of thrift distorted. -Mr. Brad shaw's' 'fourth reason - was that the employer .thinks the college graduate has too many bad habits and is lax in conformity to discipline. - r ' "These are the reasons," said the Dean in ending' his talk, "why busi ness riien object to college students. Don't let ' any habits which you ac- he class that insists on excuses and, an- bis. Mke yourself one of those who can arid will." v ' . ; ' ' : STUDENT LEADER TO AID MEMORIAL PLANS CHEERIOS TO RALEIGH : Tomorrow morning 350 : Cheerios ' will leave Memorial"; Hall to attend the big game in Raleigh.
