Track Star Injured
In Fall Over Ties
Howard Cox, 23, senior in the Uni
versity, from Erwin, Tennessee,
stellar cross-country runner, suf
fered a split right knee cap when he
stumbled and fell over the railroad4
tracks in front of the entrance to
Emerson field late Friday afternoon.
Cox and Barkley were finishing a
five mile training jaunt when in
jumping over the tracks Cox's leg
slipped from under , him', striking his
knee on a sharp rock. ; ;v
The injured runner was rushed to
the field house : at Kenan. VStadium
where four stitches were taken in the
injured knee cap. Cox was ' one of
the mainstays of the team which lost
three of its' stars by graduation last
year. He finished third in the V. P. I.
meet and tied for first "places, in the
State College . meet. He was being
pointedfor the Duke meet" Saturday
and : his absence leaves an immense
gap to be filled by' Coach Dale Ran

' Voters of bo.th parties will be able
to vote in the national election from
twenty minutes after- six o'clock this
morning until the sun sets at one min
ute after five o'clock tonight. The
polls are in the high school building
on Franklin street. Registrar Robert
son urges all those who are registered
to vote early as the polls will close 1
promptly at the scheduled time. In
order to avoid the rush he urges, that,
those who can, do their voting in the
morning.. .. , .... "... , . .. ...
Both Democratic and Republican
leaders are hard at work today lining
up their workers for the local contest.
Today the, keepers of the house do
tremble. . The last, bets are being
placed, and, odds are scarce. The
campus is more agog than any time
since the : last" Dempsey-Tunney fight.
Wrangles in the dormitories become
more numerous, and arguments in the
frat houses grow hotter. It is well
that, the end is . near. We are be
coming politics drunk. Our eyes are
r growing bunded to all things save
brown derbies and double chins.' :?
Bets are heavy, and they . give
Hoover the advantage. .One finds a
bout as many men . openly ' backing
Hoover with full confidence as there
are backing Smith. The majority
would like to believe in a Smith vic
tory, but common sense and hard
facts are beginning to sap the major
ity's confidence. . Hoover was as forth
coming as Smith money last night.
Smith money is probably harder to
find today. The staunch Democrats
are beginning to have misgivings, as
the anti-Smith men grow 'jubilant,
This trend is unmistakable.
The campus womenfolk seem rather
passive about the affair. It must be
admitted that' neither of the candi
dates has so much as a plugged dime's
worth of sex appeal. The feminist
element is not taxing its brain and
nervous 'system over the contest. It
is understood, however, : that Mrs
Smith lost co-ed votes for. her hus
band when she told Queen Mary of
England that she was "doggone right"
about so and so. ' V.
Tonight the long watch will drag
along hour by hour, and by this time
tomorrow everyone will have accept
ed for better or for worse the re
sults by 'word of radio.

GRAIL WILIi GIVE
DAIpSAimDM
Second Grail of Season Will
Follow South Carolina
Game. v .
The total registration of the
University this year is 2504 -according
to the figures given oat
at the registrar's oflBce yesterday.
There has been quite a bit of dis
cussion and controversy over the
exact number here this year.
The Order of the Grail will give
its second dance of the season Sat
urday night in Bynum Gymnasium.
The dance will begin promptly at
nine o'clock, several of the girls al
ready assuring the officials of the
Order that they will be there at that
time.
The musie will again be furnished
by the Carolina Bucanneers, who have
successfully . performed in the past,
and who have a special program
planned for the occasion. The deco
rations and lights are slated to be
exceptionally good. The chaperones
at the last Grail dance say that it
was the best held, hut the officers
plan to make this one even .better.
The South Carolina game will be
played on that afternoon and should
be . a drawing card for a large num
ber of girls. . .
Stag tickets will be placed on sale
in the rear of the gymnasium at 8:30
o'clock Saturday night. Those desir
ing to buy One are requested to do so
as early as. possible - as there will be
only a limited, number on sale. After
the tickets are sold out, no one will
be admitted to the floor unless ac
companied by a girl. The Grail
plans to reduce ' the number of per
sons attending the dances in' the fu
ture, in order to relieve the conges
tion that has been prevalent hereto
fore. Those purchasing tickets must
stand in line so that' they may . pur
chase them as quickly as possible
All members of the football squad
who play in the game Saturday may
purchase their tickets at the front
door of the gymnasium after the
dance begins.
The officers of the Grail state that
the rules in force at the previous
dances will be enforced Saturday.
The regular German club rules as to
conduct on the floor will be strictly
enforced. In addition to those rules
the officers state that no freshmen
or spectators wilr be admitted, and
that smoking during the dance will
be absolutely prohibited. . No girls
who leave the - dance when it is in
progress will be readmitted.

ing the three women upheld the me
rits 'of the co-educational system.
They pointed out that the co-educational
system prevalent in "England
today has always been considered an
example of success and that in the
future co-education will be accepted
throughout the world.

Union have been in the Unit
ed States five days, competing in that
time in two debates. They were de
clared victors in both of the contests

They've taken the gym, and L are
besieging the track field, men guard
you the stadium !
It's 7:00 o'clock at the gym and a
sign reading imo men Aiiowea
guards with, cool insolence the .ap
proach to that . masculine stronghold
of old, butthem days are gone" for
ever ! . And v within, Dr. . Lawson
coaches a girl's basketball team,
teaching , both the old-young and the
young-old "girls" how to get athletic
and the sign stands guard over; the
total inadequacy of their costumes '
not from a . quantitative point of view
but from an appreciation of a rough
setting for '"our pretty co-eds." They
frankly admit that it's not because
the costumes aren't skirts that men
aren't allowed, but that it is because
they are so funny looking.
In fact, the order of the day is
to make 'em as funny looking as you
can. The ladies of Chapel Hill have
come to the aid of the maidens, desti
tute as they are of proper clothing
for athletics, and many a Chapel Hill
attic has brought forth an antiquat
ed gym suit smelling of moth balls
and reeking with memories of the
boarding school days of any one from
Betsy Woolen to Mrs. Mcintosh. ' The
"S' Mary's girls" were already pro
vided with the conventional basketball
bloomers and the hikers were equip-
ed with, hiking knickers.
The first thing about their new
sport that'impressed the co-eds is the
fact that there is a lot of "difference
in playing basketball at boarding
school and under the scientific coach
ing of Dr. Lawson; they have learn
ed that it is technique that counts and
they find that Dr. Lawson doesn't
even notice it if you "cuss" -at "S
Marv's. vou know, a damn was a
foui!" : '
And since the buxom lassie has dis
placed the wee wisp of a maiden, we
would not be surprised . to hear , her
shout, "Let The Band Go Unclothed,"
and first give us uniforms of blue and
white with which to clothe our Fisher
Built Bodies! ,
