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-

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.

KOCH WILL READ
CHRISTMAS CAROL
This Year Will Mark Twenty
Seventh Observance of
Annual Custom.
Professor Frederick H. Koch,
director of the Carolina Play
makers, will give his annual
reading of A Christmas Carol.
Dickens' immortal Christmas
story, in Memorial hall Sunday
evening, December 11, at 8:30
o'clock.
Professor Koch has presented
his version of the Carol over one
hundred times before all types
of audiences in the north and
south; including sf presentation
in New York City where Charles
Dickens himself read it some
sixty years ago.' This year's
reading will mark the twenty-
seventh year during which Pro
fessor Koch has appeared with
the Dickens story as an annual
custom.
Contrary to precedent, this
reading will not take place in
the Playmakers' theatre, but is
being moved to Memorial hall at
the request of the faculty. Dur
ing recent years increasing
crowds have rendered the thea
tre inadequate for the Christmas
Carol audiences.
First Reading
Appearing before a group of
University of North Dakota
people twenty-seven years ago
as a young professor fresh from
Harvard, Professor Koch af
firmed that everybody ought to
read Dickens' -Christmas. 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.
Sax Rohmer Story
" At Carolina Today
"The Mask of Fu Manchu,"
picturized version of another of
the Sax Rohmer mystery stories
is showing at the Carolina thea
tre, with Boris Karloff in the role
of the sinister Dr. Fu Manchu.
The plot of the story deals
with the quest of a group 0f
English scientists for the hidden
tomb of Ghengis Khan, the great
Asiatic ruler who almost - con
quered Europe. Dr. . Fu Man
chu also seeks this tomb in or
der to seize a buried talisman
proclaim himself the re-incarnation
of the leader and starts an
Asiatic uprising against Europe.
Included in the cast are Lewis
Stone, Karen Morley, Charles
Starrett, Myrna Loy, Jean Her
sholt, Lawrence Grant, and
David Torrence. '
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

Yackety Yack are requested to
