NUMBER Tar et for Invasion of Tiilsne Today Av Wh- .JL- JL L n f t r n m a Monogram to Urge Letter System Group to Offer Unique Proposal Monday Evening Sweeping revision of the pres ent system of awarding letters to athletes will be proposed by the Monogram Club at the Athletic Association Council meeting, Monday night, Bob Gersten, club president, announced yesterday. The proposal has not been definite ly drawn up as yet, but the main points of the program, as outlined by Gersten, are: Revision of System 1. A revision of the major and mi nor system of sports awards will be proposed. All sports will be establish ed on the same basis, with the same size and style letter given all members of any sport squad that have com pleted" the - requirements. 2. Set standards for all sports will be established, it will be proposed. At present, letters are awarded on the coach's recommendation. The Mono gram Club will suggest that this sys tem be amended, and letters be award ed on definite merit standards. 3. A revision of the managerial sys tem will be proposed. The present method of awarding managers is to give that manager chosen for the var sity squad of any sport a letter, and tc leave the freshman manager unre warded. "Freshman sports managers often have to work harder than the varsity sports managers, and they should receive a letter," Gersten said. 4. The establishment of a service letter will be proposed. All men who have completed three, years of any sport and have shown an attitude of serious endeavor, should be rewarded whether or not they have completed the monogram requirements, will be the fourth point in the proposal. . ye o . - . - W .

Tri-Delts Plan Chapter Here Transfer Women May Act at Once Red Troops Claim German Offensive Has Been Halted . ... ... .By. United Press . WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. The I North Atlantic patrol, acting under Plans to form a chapter of Delta! orders from President Roosevelt to Delta Delta sorority at Carolina are still under consideration, it was re vealed authoritatively yesterday. For the past four years transfer women who were Tri-Delts at their former school have been planning this step. Lately these "stray greeks" have been holding dinners, teas, and discus sions at the Carolina Inn with this ob ject in mind. Miss Myra Knapp, a prominent mem ber of this group, stated, "Yes, we would like to form a chapter but there are so many obstacles to overcome." The first step necessary would be to secure permission from the Univer sity administration, she explained. If this permit were granted the girls would then have to contact the national head of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and seek her permission, she said. It was not learned if- the building of a house would be a prerequisite for the sorority. After the numerous details had been cleared up Carolina would then have another sorority for its girls. All former Tri-Delt girls, who have not already participated in these plans have been asked to attend regularly held meetings every Wednesday night at the Carolina Inn.

Ancestor of all "westerns," "The Great Train Robbery" was produced in 1906 by the Edison Company and stars "Broncho Billy" Anderson in the chief role. Anderson, the original "horse opera" star, played in 375 weekly films. Tomorrow's program will also in clude "The Last Card" and "The Cov ered Wagon." The latter film is espec ially notable for the photographic ef- clearly. within defense waters when I fects obtained with early technical de- shoot on sight, swept through Ice landic waters tonight in grim search for the submarine, presumeably Ger man, which torpedoed, but did not sink the destroyer Kearny. A cry for quick revenge went up in Congress as soon as 'news of the attack was made public Senator Claude Pepper (D.Fla.), demanded "two sinkings for each assault." Senator. Gerald P. Nye, and other non-interventionists, said that the President's "shoot" order invited such incidents. At Hyde Park, N. Y., Mr. Roose velt declared that the Kearny was torpedoed. He said that the navy is under regular orders to hunt down mauraders, but withheld comment pending a complete report. Only mea gre details had been received at that time. The navy said no casualties had been mentioned and that the damaged vessel was proceeding to an undisclos ed port. Swing Black Magic Willie Hargreaves Wields His Baton Over Durham's Bull City Night Hawks By Hay den Carruth The scene, Durham, a dim-lit room, and a smoky atmosphere . over all. A Negro band sitting in , shirt sleeves before heterogeneous, music stands, rocks slowly in unison, every, note synchronized in perfect harmony and every beat pumped with solid accura cy and precision. The Bull City Night Hawks are rehearsing, and under the diligent supervision of ace saxaphon ist .and arranger, Willie Hargreaves, the unit plays like a single man. Janitor at Swain Hall during the day, Willie Hargreaves is one of Car olina's outstanding jazz musicians. His knowledge of the possibilities of his instrument as well as his thorough mastery of the technicalities of com position and arrangement becomes doubly amazing when it is learned that he is entirely self taught. His first band, formed in North Carolina in 1926, was well known throughout the state in that era of ragtime and rough music. After his first organization was disbanded. Willie entered the North Carolina College for Negroes in Dur ham with intentions of becoming a teacher. His- ambitions .were never realized because his lack of money forced his withdrawal - The next half -decade ., in Willie's career was spent in working in board ing houses, and his music was rele gated to a secondary position. It was never completely forgotten, , however, and several outfits claimed his tal ents during this period. In 1937 Willie joined the band . of the famed King Oliver, whose band cra dled the talents of such outstanding musicians as Red Allen and Louis Armstrong. Willie stayed with the King until 1937, when he went to New York and played in the big town's night spots for more than a year. Dur ing part of this time he worked in a band led by Edgar Battle, who is now arranging some of Glen Miller's best See HARGREAVES, page H WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.
