Night Football At Long Suffering Carolina Students o It Seems, However, That Pine Trees in Lower Quadrangle Suffer Approximately as Many Injuries as Players in First Tilt Played Here Under Artificial Light. o Shades of J Thomas Alva Tdi- son ! His great gift to mankind has recently made possible a new nocturnal sport on the ath letic fields of the University. But not the Athletic Association nor any of the coaches of the various teams have introduced the revolutionary athletic inno vation. It remained for the in genuity of the members of the lower quadrangle dormitories to inaugurate their own special brand of night football. Although the varsity has com pleted its schedule and the tag championship rests safely with in the confines of the A. T. O. house, the boom of the soaring punt is still a familiar sound on the campus. The ever-lessening hours of daylight have in no way impaired the enthusiasm for the football that is still be ing played on the quadrangles between Ruffin and Grimes, and between Everett and Graham. Close Score A particularly hard-fought game was recently in progress on the green-sward between I. and G. dormitories. After hours of play the score was approxim ately 106 to 107. The sun had gone down, and shadows were creeping over the field. When neither side could see the ball, fumbles and mis-plays became annoyingly numerous. To end the game with such a close score was clearly against the principles of both ball clubs, j It has long been the policy of the participants in such games to fight to a bitter, if sometimes futile, finish. However, this case it would not be long before inky darkness would settle down on the field and preclude abso- lutely any further playing. The ! captains came together and con ferred on the problem which threatened the honor of the op- INTRAMURAL MITT TOURNEY BEGINS IN TIN CAN TODAY (Continued from page three) unlimited, with four pounds al lowed for overweight in the first seven. The popularity of the new di vision is proved by the fact that it has seven men entered for the tourney, ranking second to the 125 pounders which have eight, the greatest number entered. Lewis dormitory will have six men fighting to bring titles back there, and Zeta Psi and Best House will have five each. A. T. O. comes next with four, and Aycock, Everett, and Beta Theta Pi each will have two. Nearly every other fraternity and dor mitory will have at least one en trant. Tourney Develops Talent In addition to having a repu tation for producing furious fighting and lots of thrills, the intramurals are also watched in tently because of the frequent emergence of many fine varsity and freshman team prospects. John Warren, Noah Goodridge, Archie Allen, and numerous others have come through the tourney to gain future ring glory, Goodridge and Allen later winning Southern Conference championships. The 125 pounders, who prom ise to furnish some of the hot test competition, will have a four-cornered riot when Max Frucht, J. A. Crawford, Alan Smith, one - time intramural champ, and Baxter Mowery, last year's winner, get together; but one of the remaining four boys in this division may pull a sur prise and steal their thunder. In the other divisions,, things are so evenly matched that no one looks better than another. Last Comes To posing teams. The somewhat stupifying result of their pow wow was that time was taken out by both sides and the players left the field. Apparently the forces of darkness had tri umphed. Not so! The never-say-die spirit manifested itself in the solution of the mystery. Fiat Lux! Shortly after the disper sion, from every window on the west side of Everett two electric lights were trained on the battle ground. Chapel Hill was re ceiving its baptism of electrical ly illumined gridiron play. Game Carried On The struggle continued. The players were no longer butter fingered, and many long passes were completed. Tnen at 9:00 o'clock the contest came to an abrupt close when a 120-pound guard attempted to take out a tall pine tree he had mistaken for a charging linesman. The injured player was carried off the field, and by mutual consent the hostilities ceased. The lights had shown themselves efficient, but hardly any more safe-guard against injury than the rays of the sun. As at the first performance a large crowd of spectators is ex pected to witness the second showing of the football-spot light-hounds, which is due to be presented sometime during the latter part of the week. As yet, the originators have displayed a decided unwillingness to license other such groups with the pri- vilege of using their invention. It is also held upon good authori ty that the captains of the teams have received no complaints from the inmates of the dormi- tories to the effect that the new enterprise has proven a distrac tion from their scholastic ef- forts. PHILLIPS RUSSELL TO GIVE COURSE IN CREATIVE WRITING (Continued from first page) five students, in order that each member of the class may re ceive individual attention, should he desire it. As in the case of English 53, the permission of the instructor is necessary be fore a student is allowed to reg ister for the course. English 53 is rich in historical precedent. The late President Edward Kidder Graham taught it for many years, as did Dr. Ed win Greenlaw, and Dr. Addison Hibbard, former dean of the school of liberal arts. STUDENT DISCOVERS GEOLOGICAL CLAY BEDS C. F. Rawls, a geology student of the University, recently dis covered a new bed of bentonitic clay in the Roanoke, Virginia area" while doing geological field work there. This bentonitic clay is a weathered volcanic ash layer formed by the fall of volcanic ash in the Ordovician sea. Rawls brought with him samples that he found in a layer about two feet thick lying interbedded with sandy shales along the west foot of Catawba mountain. They had been preserved from erosion by marine sediments which were deposited over them.

Carol every Christmas. At the request of the dean of women he read it to them, and has been reading it to appreciative audiences every year since. The setting and lighting for this performance is being de signed by Professor Samuel Selden. A large Christmas tree on each side of the stage will constitute the chief decoration.. In accordance with custom, a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. George Lawrence and Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Harrar will sing old English carols between the staves. Professor Koch is reading the Carol in three other per formances this season. Tues day evening; December 13, he will read in the Burlington Little Theatre of Burlington, N. C.; Thursday, December 15 hi Tarboro; and Friday, December 16, in Norfolk, Virginia.

' FIRST ISSUE LAW REVIEW OF YEAR COMESOFF PRESS 3Iagazine Contains Report of Constitution Commission and Legislation Proposals. The December issue of the North Carolina Laio Revieic, published quarterly by the law school of the University, was re leased yesterday. This number, with which the Review enters the eleventh year of publication, contains the report of the North Carolina constitution commis sion as well as articles by mem bers of the Law Review board of editors. J. H. Chadbourn, a member of the faculty of the law school, is the editor-in-chief. The members of the staff were entertained Monday night at the home of the editor and at this time the first issue of the cur rent year, just released from the press, was distributed to the staff members. The first article in this issue, The Report of the North Caro lina Constitution Commission, is the report of that commission to the governor recommending the adoption of the new proposed constitution of North Carolina. The report is prefaced by the letter of transmittal from Gov ernor Gardner to the members elect of the General Assembly. Dean Van Hecke of the law school says of the proposed con stitution: "It is characterized by a greater freedom of action for the general assembly, subject to a veto power of the governor. It provides an enlarged flexi bility and autonomy for the courts and perpetuation of the present tendencies toward cen tralized control of education and local finance." The next section gives a series of proposals for legislation in North Carolina, prepared by fa culty members of the law school. The proposals discussed are: checks on failed banks, compara tive negligence, evidence, home site statutes, uniform -sales acts and wage assignments and small loans. The following law stu dents contributed comments on recent cases of interest: Robert A. Hovis, A. E. Garrett, Jr., W. Carey Parker,. Wilson Barber, Ivern E. Erb, Cecil L. Piltz, W. E. Anglin, William Medford, E. M. Perkins, Frank P. Spruill, Jr., and A. T. Allen, Jr. Yackety Yack Request All staff division heads of the Yackety Yack are requested to finish their present assignments before leaving for the holidays, announced Nutt Parsley yester day.
