McCLURE 'Twice-Told' Tales Coach Ray. Wolf, at the present time a very happy man, is noted for his football coaching and yarn-spinning. He heads the Tar Heels during the Fall months and then spends much time the rest of the year making talks before UNC alumni groups all over the state and country. These talks, chiefly concern ing football, are : punctuated frequently with humorous stories, both tall and true. One of the best known fol lows: , : - ' , One of the brightest stars on one of North Carolina's big football teams had to take a history test to be eligible the next Saturday ... The Prof, asked him one simple question, "what is the capital of North Caro lina?" . . . "Pikeville," re . plied the guy . . . "Well," said the academic, "if you had answered correctly you would have had 100 . . . Since Pikeville is only 15 miles from Raleigh, I will give you 85 and pass you." . . . (Two days later the fellow toted the mail, as usual). ' When he had finished tell ing this "tall" one he usually grinned while the "old boys" chuckled and let it go as a good joke well told. The joke, however, was des tined to a future in the pub lic eye, for Eddie Brietz, well known Associated Press sports columnist, heard about it, thought it was true, and dubbed it "True Story" in his column last week. Alumni must have enjoyed "re-chuckling" over the story for an alumnus away out in Marshalltown, Iowa, clipped the item from Brietz's column and sent it in to the DTH. Perhaps he thought, that the player was a member of a for mer Tar Heel squad. Ray Wolf can answer that one. And, who knows, maybfe that 'twice-told tale' is true but it didn't happen at UNC. Brick Sidewalks We were sitting and looking out of the window yesterday and thinking of some of the apparent, ever-present needs of the University. Just a split second apart we noticed two things: our shoes, resting on the desk top, were covered with dust; outside, a bicycle National Advertising Service, Inc. College Pmhliibers RepmentttivK 420 uasicon Ave Nrw York. N.Y. Editor Managing Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager whizzed along on the gravel , path and blew up a cloud of dust. That settled it: an "appar ent, ever-present need of the University" brick sidewalks. Warm, dry weather comes. Dust is blown all over the place. Classroom floors ac cumulate layers of it; dormi- tory rooms are visited by the mild dust storms; shoe-shine parlors get-rich-quick off Caro lina students, faculty, etc. Comes the rainy season. The paths are washed out and require an expensive outlay of cash for more gravel to fill the gullies. Mud cakes itself on the feet of passing students and eventually comes to rest on the floors of classroom and dormitory buildings, where, periodically, it becomes neces sary to re-surface the floors. Only in the very cold season do the paths become more pleasant; and even then they continue to have their sand paper, effect on shoes. So, why not brick side walks? Tar Heel Spirit A rejuvenated Tar Heel team downed the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian last Saturday afternoon. Coach Ray Wolf's charges who took the' field against TCU seemed like a far differ ' ent outfit from the Carolina team in the first three games. We hear many reasons ex plaining the team's success: Xalanne's spark that was miss ing earlier this year; sound, hard blocking that was lacking in the earlier contests ; and ' several others. We don't think that any technical reason can be named to account for the Tar Heels' victory on Satur day. Good spirit, and the right mental approach, plus the knowledge that the student body was right in back of the team probably tell the story better than any other cause. The mental attitude with which . " one goes into something usual ly determines whether a man plays the game to his full capacity. ' The. spirit of the student body at Saturday's game was the best since the spontaneous rally after the Tulane game last year. Some credit is-due -Ferebee, Taylor and his Uni versity club for whipping up the enthusiastic support of WELL-KNOWN-BIRD IIOHIZONTAL, 1 Pictured red breasted bird. 6 It belongs to the family. 12 To love. 13 One that roars 14 Sketched. 15 To place in a row.' 16 Driver's command. 17 A haunt. 18Royal observatory Answer to CMRE lUOPtSEf -COIF QRNiAl ,!RAipjAlDL IH TiUL NAlRsjAtef'jqgLjL.b CpjLdN'EU jSspj I lEjUBR EfriAlsq i ffkpsr "wT dL Sai i kJi as WMl (abbr.). 37 Girdle. 20 Railroad. 33 Unless. 21 Common . erb 39 Doctor. 22 Electrical unit 40 Nothing more .23 Pronoun. than. 24 Since. 41 Stopped the 25 Fruit. noise of. 23 Royal 43 Horns on treasury. horse's feet. 29 Puts to hazard 45 Female 32 Morass. 33 To bow. 34 Embellish ment. 361 ami. relative. 46 Horse food. 47 Also. 48 To run away. 49 Island. . 12 5 4 5 , 6 7 S 9 10 "jlT H JP is - 2TS : ; "li " !F - , - " 40 7 4T 5 " 4T " : 35 " FT 1 111 lr 5i 11 l-j-fl Good Morning COACH RAY WOLF WAS A VERY HAPPY MAN SATURDAY NIGHT. His Carolina football team, much to the sur- prise of the clos est football ob server, had just defeated TCU by a convincing 21 to 14 score. It was a clear-cut victory, one that gave us every in dication to be lieve that the mmmmm Carolina football team was on the way to bigger and better things. Still, it was more than that: Well have to admit that after the Wake Forest game this year most of us lost our school spirit. True, we wanted our football team to win, but for some reason we didn't pull quite so hard for those 11 men who : were representing us on the football field. ' The TCU game changed all that. Before it was 10 minutes old Carolina students found what they had lost two weeks before. They found the old Carolina spirit, but definitely. TCU has gone. We won't forget them soon. Someone remarked they threw more passes Saturday than the government has been spending money. We're not so sure about that. We're glad they came to Chapel Hill. They had' a fine foot ball team, one that any other team in the country should be proud to defeat. Milch credit for the return of the Carolina spirit should go to Coach Ray Wolf and his very able as sistants. They worked hard to give the Carolina football team that., little spark they needed to make them a winner. They spent hours trying to find out what was wrong. They knew they had men on the field who be lieved in high ideals of good sports manship, who wanted Carolina to win, who wanted this team to stand out over previous Carolina teams. If you recall, sports writers over the state commented after the Wake Forest and Davidson games that there was something definitely the hitherto comparatively lethargic campus. Some can be laid to the playing of the team. They are all inter mingled. At any rate, students, keep up the backing, and we venture to say that the team will be in there hitting harder with tnat twelfth man giving his all.- L.

They said this team did not have the spirit and zip that other teams coached by Wolf had pos sessed. Every one of those writers . ad mitted they were wrong in their Sunday morning stories. They ad fmitted they had seen Carolina play one of the best games in its history. - Checking over the Carolina sched ule for the remainder of the year, you'll see that the Tar Heels have some tough games ahead. This Sat urday it's N. C. State. Then there is Tulane, Fordham, Richmond, Duke , and the University of Virginia. Perhaps the team will drop an other game or two, but it won't be so bad. They gave Carolina stu dents something Saturday they won't soon forget. They gave Coach W61f something too. Yes, they gave Coach Wolf, the pupil, a victory over Dutch Meyer, the teacher. That football team gave the Caro lina student body back the spirit they lost. Our Congrats to them.- Revision Seems (Continued from prst page) and the chairmen of these areas into an administrative committee with the president of the student body as chair man. The purpose in drawing up the plan was to set up machinery for more di rect participation by the student body in decision-making through accurate expression of its collective, "consider ed opinion." The organization will probably re main basically the same in the Ways and Means committee's final draft of the bill. The changes which the com mittee will be likely to make are to remove the four top chairmen, to make the 40 group chairmen the executive committee, and to more clearly define the limitations and functions of the organization. '' Playmakers , (Continued from first page) Broadway production, will be present ed in the .

Pre v lass Pszzle EiRjSURB'A'N Kl H A By Seeds of Progress Yesterday this column learned that a new and different organiza tion would hit the rumpus before the week is out. The club, which is en tirely original and seems to have sprung from the heart of the cam pus, is to educate the students at the University to the pertinent problems facing North Carolina to day. The idea, if our informant is cor rect, is to look at national, interna tional, and state developments strictly from a North Carolina point of view. Such vital questions as the farm program, schooling, labor, taxation, crime, politics, housing, and health all of them vital to the nation will be reviewed as they affect this state. Although it is rumored that the new, unnamed organization will at tempt to take action in whatever way and whenever it sees fit, the real value as we see it, is in the educational angle. If the group can get a majority of the students from North Carolina interested in how the cotton and tobacco situation can be improved, or what steps can be done to alleviate the difficult hous ing problem in the. state, or what can .be done about the rising . tax rates, then they will have ac complished more than a 100 clubs and round-table bull sessions that I know of, all tossed into one melting stew. Letters To The To the Editor, Dear Sir: Here is an approving yell of con gratulations to the Student Legis lature as a result of its decision to renovate the humor magazine, name, character, contents, et aL To me the action appears to be a demonstration of good sense and sound judgment. Alumni from time to time in recent years have pro tested the association of the Uni versity's name with crude stabs at humor. It's not rationalizing the ILen Facilities Of Graham Memorial Open To All Student Groups Social facilities of Graham Me morial, the student union building, are available to all student organi zations at no cost. This fact, Di rector Richard Worley thinks, is not known throughout the student body. : This year more than ever Graham Memorial is equipped tb entertain and relax the studious mind. A committee has been appointed to consider the future use of the lounge for organization dances, and a small room on ,the second floor is being fitted with easy chairs and a radio for the benefit of those who like a quiet evening of bridge and music occasionally. Cards and tables will be provided to go with the room and music. Banquet halls, the lounge, or a social room can be secured by any student group through the union office in 110 Graham Memorial. The lounge boasts a rich supply PICK ERHOL America's greatest adventure. . . now the screen thrill of the year! . l TTTi Louis Harris The reason I think this idea is much better than most I have hears is that IT . IS DEALING With REAL PROBLEMS AND Real PEOPLE. The trouble with O0Jt youth movements is that they about to solve all the problems Cf the universe, only to discover after they have spent their last ounce of energy that they haven't done a .thing except blow up a big wind. The students of the University know the lay of the land in Ncrtfe Carolina. It is only fitting that they deal with problems that strike nearest home. Here we find the reaj value of this new group. Although the details of how the new organization will work are cot completely known, to us at this time, we feel that since it is coming froio the heart of the campus and will deal with practical problems ia North Carolina that it is a worth while addition to our crowded cam. pus. : The only way any democracy can function "properly is for the people of the democracy to be intimately acquainted with the major issues facing them. With an organization such as this taking form on the campus, we cannot help but feel that the ground-work for a more firm and stable democracy in North Carolina is being laid here in Chapel Hill. Editor former situation at all to say that these same critics probably are aroused because their smoker-room stories are bared to public eyes. The important thing is that the Univer sity and Buccaneer "humor" was being associated too often to the harm of the institution's reputation. " Long life to present good inten tions!
