BEERMAN . FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADEL PHIA, Oct. 28 It's an hour before game time and 50 persons; no more no less are scattered throughout this gi gantic stadium. The first to :get ring side seats at the battle of football to come this afternoon between the gal vlant, unbeaten Tar Heels from North Carolina and the confident crew of Penn. The weather is the damdest you ever saw. When the Carolina special, a ten car train of students, band members and football players, pulled into this center of Quakerism at 7 o'clock this 'morning, a fine drizzle of rain was failing. The rain continued until mid morning when suddenly the sun came out to brighten noticeably the spirits of Ray Wolf and his 38 mem assem blage. But with the sun came wind. The violent whirlwind type of wind which is even threatening to tear flags which line the field from their mooring. Such weather for a bunch of south em lads who play their football in spring time settings. Workmen have just finished rolling up long sheets of canvas which have protected the field from becoming a mire of mud. Wolf, John Vaught, and others of the Carolina troup have walked out to test the turf, feeling the ground and wondering just how regulation cleats will work. j Vaught remarked earlier that mud cleats would be welcomed, but the rules . say the regular, shorter cleats must be used. . ROOM FOR 70,000 Franklin field is a huge, double decked affair, seating about 70,000 and more in a pinch as all the annual Army-Navy contest. From this press box high on the uppermost rim, we can look down on the smoothest green playing field at an angle of 45 degrees. The field is almost like a golf course; the grass is four or five inches tall and waves in the stiff breeze in rhy thmn with the flags. Wolf hasn't said so, but likely he isn't happy over the soft, cushioney effect the greenage will have. Those who know say wind won't hurt the Carolina passing attack, nor that Penn lays claim too. But cer tainly the punts will be influenced, (Continued on page S, column 2) Coeds To Stage Rally For Team Church attendance will probably suffer this morning when 30 Chi Omegas lead other women students, and the few hundred men, women and children who remained in Chapel Hill while the Tar Heels acquitted themselves so well in Philadelphia yesterday to the railroad tracks on Pittsboro street at 11:15 to give the victorious team a spirited welcome home. STUDENTS REPORT ROBBERY SERB TO LOCAL POLICE Janitors Capture, Release Stranger Seen In Houses The Chapel Hill police department has received a number of complaints from students in fraternities houses concerning missing articles which were apparently taken from their rooms by a sneak thief early yesterday morn ing, Chief of police W. T. Sloan an nounced last night. Calvin Nunn, janitor of the Sigma Nu house, assisted by the Lambda Chi Alpha janitor apprehended the apparent thief shortly after 6:30 yes terday morning on the second floor of the DKE house after he had been seen to enter the Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Alpha, and SAE houses. When asked by the janitors what his business had tered, the young white man, said to been in the various houses he had en have looked about 22- years old, mum bled that he was looking for a person whose name he would not give. He was dressed in a light green suit. NOTHING FOUND Nunn found nothing after searching the pockets of the coat which the man had begun to take off when he was approached. The apparent thief said that he had stayed in the Kappa Alpha house the night before. The janitors, having no definite information allow ed him to go and watched him enter the Kappa Alpha as he had said he wished to do. On further investigation it was dis covered that the man, a stranger, who said he was a Kappa Alpha from Ala bama, had bummed to Chapel Hill, was given a bed for the night in the local Kappa Alpha house. Immediately aft er his release by the janitors, he dis appeared and has not been seen again. Watches, wallets and other valuables have been reported as missing to the police department which is investigat ing the case. Radio Group Meets Tonight To Hear Original Scripts Tonight's meeting of the group in terested in radio writing and produc tion will be held at 6:30 instead of 7:30 in Peabody hall, it was announced yes terday by Professor Earl Wynn, in structor in dramatic art, who is in charge of the group. The time of the meeting was changed to avoid conflict with Dr. Frederick H. Koch's reading of "Hamlet," which is scheduled for 8 o'clock in the Play maker theater. Wynri added that here after the radio class will meet at 6:30 on nights when play readings are being given. v 'Two original scripts by Madame Helene Sheu-Riecz and Walter Spear man will be read tonight.

Jim Lalanne, Carolina's bid for Sammy Baugh's place in the aerial hall of honor, repeated his trick of winning football games yesterday by tossing three touchdown passes and bucking the line for the fourth. Although the Quakers were more than forewarned about Mr. Lalanne, Sweet Jim played rings around the battered Penn grid giants. Koch Continues His Series Of Monologues Tonight "Proff" Made Almost $5 For His First Performance" In A' Church At Waldo, Ohio i When Professor Frederick H. Koch enacts scenes from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" tonight at 8 o'clock in the Playmakers theater, it will be another in the long series of monologues he has given to audiences over the entire country since his undergraduate days at Ohio Weslayan university. His one-man show will initiate a series of Sunday evening play readings which will continue throughout the year. As a sophomore, "Prof" Koch gave his first public performance in the Sunday school auditorium of a church at Waldo, Ohio, a town of some 200 or 300 souls which had the highest homicidal rate in, the state. He man aged to make aimost $5, which to gether with the proceeds from his other performances throughout the year, enabled him to buy his first dress suit. FORMER EXPERIENCE When he was a graduate student at Harvard, Koch made all his ex penses by monologuing Shakespearian plays and old . English comedies throughout New York, New England and Canada. He played every im portant town from the Hudson river to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Koch first saw the inside of a theater as a high school senior, and in the words of his austere Methodist father he saw it on his "own respon sibility." When he heard that a road j (Continued on page 4, column S) j - MAT PLANS FOR PRE-MED SMOKER AED's To Hear Dean MacNider Dr. William deB. MacNider, dean of the Medical school, will address the annual smoker given by the Alpha Ep silon Delta pre-medical fraternity Tuesday night at 7:30 in honor of the pre-med students of the freshman class, President Ted Blount announced last night. t The talk will be followed by two motion pictures: "Human Sterility" and "Appendectomy for Acute Gan grenous Appendicitis." All freshmen and AED alumni wha are interested are invited. The AED is a national honorary fra ternity composed of the Pre-medicos of the junior and senior classes, with Dr. MacNider, Dr. Hedgepeth, Dr. Bost, and Dr. Rosenau, faculty mem bers.

The smoker is one of many fall ac tivities of the fraternity which will include visits to the local medical school and trips to Duke hospital and the state asylum in Raleigh. alanine Sparkles As UNC Stays On Top Severin, Baker Catch Aerial Bombs Which Quickly Blast Only Penn Tally By SHELLEY ROLFE FRANKLIN FIELD, Philadelphia, Oct. 28 James Francis La lanne, the Lafayette whirlwind who last week pitched two desper ate fourth-quarter touchdown passes to give the Tar Heels an al most incredible tie with Tulane, staged one of the greatest one-man shows in the long history of Franklin field this afternoon as he threw three scoring aerials, galloped 23 yards for a fourth-quarter score and led the University of North Carolina to an overwhelming intersectional triumph over Pennsylvania, 30-6, before 55,000 cus- Hotter than exploding fire-crackers for the second Saturday in a row and again the Carolina Johnny on the spot, Lalanne pitched a 13-yard pass to Paul Severin for the game tying score in the second quarter and then went on. in the second half to throw Severin the tie-breaking touchdown, toss an other score to Don Baker and then finally dash through the center of an amazed Penn line for the final Tar Heel touchdown of a long afternoon that ended up with Carolina still among the undefeated national grid iron powers and Penn with its first loss in four games. Dunkle's fourth quarter field goal gave Carolina three final points. It was Lalanne who supplied the grand flourishes, but there were 10 men down on the field playing alert football and making it possible for the thin, bullet-armed son of Louisiana to sink the Red and Blue hopes after they had scored in the first five minutes of the game and seemed ready to lift the failing prestige of northern foot ball. STIRNY CHURNS Dick White recovered a fumble in the closing moments of the opening quarter and it wras George Stirnweiss, hurt on the series of plays, who brought the ball into Penn territory with his tremendous churning-leg run ning and made it possible for Lalanne (Continued on page 3, column 6) MUSICAL PROGRAM WILL BE HELD IN KENAN TONIGHT Clear, Cool Night Is Promised For Music Under Stars With the wisdom of the Raleigh weatherman's prophesy of a clear but slightly cooler night as a guiding light, Bob Magill, director of Graham Me moriai, yesterday ventured to an nounce in advance Music Under the Stars "with a blanket" tonight in Ke nan stadium at 9 o'clock. Should the weathervane's prediction prove in vain, however, Magill said that the bell in South building will ring at 8:30 as a signal that the con cert will be held in Hill Music, hall instead. , - . -- . "It's all very simple," 'Magill said "When you do not hear the sound of the bell, come to Kenan stadium. If you do hear it, come to Hill hall." In view of the forecast of cooler weather, Magill advised everyone to bring blankets to ward off possible colds. He made no further sugges tions. Tonight's program includes: Suite No. 1 from Peer Gynt, Grieg; Danse Macabre, Saint-Saenfe; 2nd Movement (Largo) Symphony No. 5 (From the New World). Dvorak; May Angels Guard .
