FiIUD, GREIE, AND SLICKERS AMONG THOSEPRESENT Duke-Tar Heel Game Muddiest Yet Played in Kenan Stadium. By Billy McKee On the muddiest field that a Carolina team has ever had to play in Kenan Stadium the Tar Heel football team played four quarters to a scoreless tie with Duke's Blue Devils yesterday afternoon. Starting yesterday morning rain continued to pour steadily right through the game without a let-up. The field was in a terrible condition before the game started with huge puddles all over and it got worse as the afternoon progressed. The day brought recollections to some fans of the South Caro lina game of 1928 which was played in a rain and sleet storm and ended in a 0-0 tie or the Maryland game played on Emer son field in 1927 which Carolina won 7-6. The latter game was played during the second half in mud probably worse than that in Kenan yesterday. The stands though not as full as was predicted, despite the rain had some 20,000 wet and cold fans who braved the weath er to see their respective teams battle. They all seemed to pre fer to stand rather than sit dur ing the whole game. Despite the rain the Carolina team seemed to like the -weather. Entering the field to the cheers of the crowd and previous to the kick off, one Carolina man after an other threw himself into a mud puddle face down. This may have been an attempt to show that old Garolina spirit. Those white jeresys of the Devils and the orange of the Tar Heels didn't show their color very long, for after the first .few minutes every man was one mass of mud. Substitutions made dur ing the game were very conspic- ious by the cleanliness of their j suits. Very often time had to be taken out for the players to wipe the mud out of their eyes or to wipe the ball as dry as possible. The contest did not lack color in one respect, and that was the great variety in color and style of costumes worn by the spec tators. Slickers and raincoats of every hue were to be found, besides every other conceivable kind of waterproof covering, which the steadiness of the rain did not prove very waterproof. There was onejperson, I saw though who had the presence of mind to dress to suit the weath er. He was a Carolina student who wore a swimming suit under his slicker! Much has been said and done lately in an effort to better re lninn between Carolina and Duke who are naturally great; rivals when they are situated so: ! close together.

December Law Review Proposes Desirable Legislative Reforms If a statute, proposed in the : December issue of the North Carolina Law Review, is adopts ed by the next General Assemb ly, the generous driver of an au tomobile will be relieved of the risk which he now takes when he picks up a stranger on the road or invites a friend to ride. Under the present, law, if an ac cident occurs, the stranger or friend may obtain a judgment of ten or twenty or fifty thous and dollars against his host. The proposal would restrict the lia bility of the -driver to a. gratuit ous guest to cases where the driver was guilty of gross neg ligence, or wilful or wanton mis conduct. - Whether a witness can be im peached by reason of his relig ious belief was one of the ques tions raised but not answered by the North Carolina-, Supreme Court in State v. Beal, the dra matic murder case, growing out of the recent. Gastonia strike dis turbances. A. statute, is recom mended to prevent the recur rence of such questions by for bidding any inquiry into the re ligious belief of a witness. The North Carolina Law Re view begins its ninth year with the publication o the December issue which, in; view of the meeting of the General Assemb- ly in January, is largely devoted to suggestions and proposals for legislation. The proposals are non-partisan, strictly profession al, and offer many improvements in the law of North Carolina as it is administered today. This is the first time that any law review has attempted to be of direct assistance in the framing and adoption of needed legisla tive changes. The statutes are set out in all essential particul ars, except for formalities, and the discussion which accompan ies each statute states concisely the reasons for its submission. Professor; M. T. Van Hecke, of the law school, contributes an Final Meeting Of Tar Heel Staff All reporters and city editors are requested to attend the final staff meeting of the quarter tonight in Alumni building at seven-fifteen in room 104. Bob Madry, head of the Uni versity news bureau, has been secured to talk to the staff. His talk will be the last of a series of speeches given by journalistic men on the campus. Those men who have spoken so far in order are: Oscar Coffin, of the journalism department; J. Maryon Saunders, secretary of the Alumni Association and editor of the Alumni Review; and Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly. The managing editor states that because of the importance of this meeting tonight no one will be excused. The first meeting after the Christmas holidays is scheduled for Sun day night, January 11. At this time the staff will be re organized, and all men desiring to try out for the staff for the first time will be given a chance to do so. article on "Four Suggested Im provements of the North Caro lina Legislative Process" These are (1) the elimination of "blind" amendments and repeals of old statutes by requiring amendments to set out the sec tion in full as amended instead of the present practice of strik ing out certain words" and in serting other words in lieu thereof, and by requiring repeal clauses to list specifically by title and section number each statute intended to be repealed. (2) The establishment of , a legisla tive drafting service under the control of a joint legislative com mission, which would be at work both during and between legislative sessions, furnishing expert legal and drafting as sistance in connection with the preparation of public bills. (3) The adoption of a system of continual revision of the stat utes by the legislative drafting service, two or three topics each biennium, instead of the whole sale revision of the entire statute book each ten or fifteen years, and (4) further restrictions upon the enactment of private, special and local legislation so as to leave the legislature more time for the consideration of state-wide public measures, thus supplementing the effects of the constitutional amendments of 1916. which have, as construed by the courts, reduced the enor mous bulk of special legislation only by about eleven per cent. The members of the law fac ulty of the University contribute a joint article discussing pro posals for legislation in the fields of banking, civil proced ure, contracts, courts, criminal law and procedure, evidence, motor vehicles, property, trusts and warehouse receipts. Speci fic subjects discussed and ac companied by definite proposals are: the adoption of the Uni form Declaratory Judgment (Continued on page two) Major Cain Injured Major Cain was very seri ously injured yesterday eve ning about six-thirty when he was struck down by an automobile while crossing Franklin Street in front of his home. One car knocked Mm down and a second ran over his legs. At the time the Daily Tar Heel went to press last night he was unconscious and his condition reported serious. Major Cain is eighty-three years old and was a former professor in the University. RALEIGH PEOPLE HEARfflECLUB Varied Program of Foreign and American Music Presented In Meredith Auditorium. Last night the people of Ra leigh had- an opportunity to hear the highly praised Glee Club from the University of North Carolina, which gave a concert in the auditorium of Meredith College, at eight o'clock. This exceptional club sang again this year with fur ther laurels added since their previous visits, and with a rap idly growing reputation. The Carolina club is not a glee club in the usual sense but a delicately trained choral or ganization which has earned praise in the principal cities of central and eastern states and in Europe. Besides receiving commendation for its work, the club has been rewarded more materially and is the possessor of three silver loving cups which have been won in recent years. They won the state-wide contest in 1926, a contest conducted by the Richmond New$-Leader, at Richmond, in 1928, and last year crowned 1 their triumphs with first honors in the South-Atlantic Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest. The program was a varied and interesting one. It opened with a group of sacred numbers which offered a marked contrast with each other. First was an old German choral, written in the 17th century by Bach, show ing a very solid and unusual type of church music. Follow ing and in direct contrast was the very beautifully harmonic "Ave Maria" 'of Arcadelt, sung in Latin and exactly typical of the old Roman Church. Richard Wagner provided the closing number of the sacred group in "O God of God" which is famil iar to everyone as the Pilgrim's chorus from Tannhauser. The next two groups on the program were interesting in that an insight is given to music which is typical of other lands of Finland, of Russia, and of France. Particularly interest ing were the Russian -numbers, two of which seem to picture the plodding, dreary nature of the Russian peasant life, whereas the other two seem to belong to the carefree Cossacks. The French compositions of the third group were characteris tic by the apparent abstractness of their accompaniment. The final group was entirely of songs by the famous Ameri can composers, MacDowell, Foote, and Gaines, and typified the better class of music by American composers. Espec ially interesting were the two numbers by MacDowell which, although written by the same composer, are as different as it is possible for two songs to be. (Continued on page two NUMBER G5 CAROLINA RHODES CHOLARS HEARD District Committee Will Pick Four Representatives From States' Candidates. Clyde Dunn, of the Univer sity of North Carolina, and Dean Husk, of Davidson, were selected to represent North Carolina at a meeting of the Rhodes Scholarship Commit tee just prior to the Duke Carolina game yesterday. They will go to Atlanta, Geor gia, where the four men will be selected who will represent this district at Oxford. The Rhodes Scholarship Com mittee of North Carolina met yesterday morning in the office of President-elect Frank P. Gra ham for the purpose of choosing two men from North Carolina to represent the state at an in terview in Atlanta, Georgia, where four men will be chosen from the representatives of sev en states comprising this section to go to Oxford University on the scholarship. A faculty committee in each college chose a group of men, not to exceed five in number, who were best fitted to fill the re quirements of scholarship, lead ership, personality, and who gen erally showed themselves as be ing worthy of the scholarship. Duke representatives were W. W. Marshall, W. A. Stanbury, Jr., and C. H. Livengood, Jr.; J. K. Pepper, W. B. McGuire, Jr., (Continued on page two - - RIAENNERCHOR TO New Chorus of Male Voices Completed After Two r Tryouts. The University's maenner chor, male chorus of sixty-five voices has been completed fol lowing the second tryouts of ap plicants for glee club member ship. Those participating num bered eighty, the remainder of the original one hundred and twenty having found themselves unable to conform to the rehear sal schedule. The talent and in terest of the men finally select ed is expected to form a splendid chorus. The glee club officials consid er the quality of the vocal ma terial a great deal higher this year than ever before. The a bility of a large number of men to read music readily makes it possible to cover a wide range, especially since the University glee club library contains one of the finest collections of male voice music in the entire coun try. It is possible to present a complete program of Russian liturgical "music, or of folk songs of the British Isles and contin ental Europe. There is likewise in the library a full program of Bach's chorals and excerpts from his cantatas in addition to the countless American composi tions which always form part of the glee club presentation. Since the glee club' can take only thirty men on tour, Pro fessor H. S. Dyer, of the music department, hopes to use the larger group through the maen nerchor. - The new organization will also make available more select voices for the South At lantic Glee Club Cup contests in February. The concert of the maenner chor is to be an exact duplica tion of that sung by the glee club when on tour.
